Grateful testimony for DOan's Kidney Pills, published everywhere is of Itself convineirg evidence of merit. Confirmed testimony forms still stronger evidence. Years ago, Mrs. Mason gratefully aCkn0wl- edged the benefit derived from Deans Kidney Pills. The state men' is now confirmed-the proof more convincing. Cages Of this kind are plentiful tn the work of DoaD's Kidney Plls-the record is unique.
 Mrs David Mason, 2715 East c St., Tacoma, Wash, says: "I had a dull, heavy ache in my back and it was lame and weak. Severe headaches and dizzy spells were common. The kidney secretions passed too often and l always felt tired and worn out. Doan's Kid ney Pills rid me ot the trouble" Statement given Sept. 19, 'l3.)

MotoFcar6 Wltn NiCcNoi'
 Must we give up motorCars alto gether? Must We take back the hOrsel No mechanical engineer will assent to that. MotOrcars we shall always have, but motorcars which will be driven by some new fuel.
 What fuel? Perhaps alcohol, per haps kerosene. Both have been the subject of experiment. If either is em- ployed a new type of engine must be created.
 Alcohol is a product of organic na- ture. Every blade of grass, every plant, every tree, whether dead or alive. Is a source of alcohol Not until the world has been stripped of vegeta- tion-and that can never happen so long as there are water. sunshine and soil-will the supply of alcohol be ex- hausted. And when that day dawns man himself will perish.
 Of alcohol we have made but little use as a source of power Coal, oil and waterfalls have been too abundant; they need not be manufactured. But alcohol is not stored up in pockets out of which 1t guShes at the tap of a hammer A mass of sawdust. a heap of potatoes-in a word. some form of vegetation-must be chemically con- verted into water clear liquid in which Is stored all the energy that the sun has poured upon the foliage of the earth. Alcohol is distilled sunshine.
 As the oil supply of the world hears depletion. as the price of oil fuels and distillatcs increases. alcohol will drive more and more of our machinery.

 Sir James Simpson. who was con nected with the medical department of Edinburgh university, If not actually the discoverer of chlOroform, was at any rate the first to introduce It's em plOyment as an anaesthetic into sur gical practice. This was in lS4S.
 Previously all operations were per formed without anaesthetics, the pa tient being drugged with whisky and held down by strong men while the op eratlou was performed. No medical discovery ever did more to alleviate human suffering.
 Sir James is generally given credit for the actual discovery of chloroform, but 1t Is stated in some works that 1t was discovered some years previous to his first experiments by an American doe. tor named Guthrie and by q French physician named SOuberian. In any case, 1t was pr. Simpson who proved It's great value as an anaesthetic. and the room in which he made his first ex- Derlments still exists in Edinburgh.

Prune Little and Often.

Much of the beauty of roadside trees and shrubs depends upon how skilltuIly they have been trained. Pruning should be done on the principle of "a little and often" From the start give them that little direction from time 10 time that will keep them in perfect form and not allow forked main branches. All cuts should be made with a saw and all wounds covered with a coat of paint or some other preservutive.-S. T. May nard in Tree Talk.

They May Be In Captivity, but They
 Are Never In SubJection.
 For many reusous the chase of the elephant stands ut the apex of sport As man killer in open combat he ranks with the lion and the African buffalo. He Is the only beast that fears no other. While he will almost lnvari, ably run from the scent of man he Is as invariably ready to attack on the slightest prOvOcatiOn. Fear does not exist for him. His overwhelming bulk, power, speed and intelligence make him supreme beyond the rlnge of ri. valry.
 AS though this were not enough to establish his pre-emSnence, be alone carries d trophy which Is one of the staple products of the industrial world The value of ivory rises. It never huc. tuates. Nor is this all In the mind of the east the elephant Is intimately associated with dignity, pomp, pageant. Y and kingship. But in the mind of the native African he Is king-a king In his own right
 In this regard let 1t be affirmed that no elephant born in Africa has ever do cilely paced hIppodromed stage, trun dled a circus wagon or taken children for a ride in the park. Those sleep walking cattle known to the American public as elephants come from India and are mere distant cousins to the king. You may have seen the African elephant in captivity, but never in sub lection.

CHE REEEERS"

The Refers beef continually
They beef from morn till night
They beef, beef, beef about every
thing,
Whether it be wrong or right.
They ueef around the barracks,
And they beef up on the line.
Everywhere and every place
They're beefing all the time
At post and rHginental headquarters
Orderly rooms, barracks and rears,
You can always hear them beefing
And expressing their hopes and fears
When you board the train for the city
To spread a little joy and fun,
You can hear the beefers all around
you, ......
Saying, This old train won't run"
While riding back to the barracks,
You naturally try to doze,
But some beefer sitting nearby
Is complaining about the army
clothes. T..
Each morning as you rise from bed
And for reveille get dressed
You hear the rawlings of some sore
mead
About his interrupted rest.
When the sergeant says, Outside
police"
And you go to your mornings work,
You're unable to do your chores in
peace
For hearing some beefer's quirk.
This beef.ng is rot all confined
To any one class or caste,
For plenty of beefers you will find
From the highest soldier to the last.
The president Deefs to Congress
For not adopting his plans.
Mr.. Baker beefs to the chief of staff
Because Congress ties his hands.
The chief, he beefs to the general
staff ..-
Or our inadequate defense;
They in turn beef among themselves;
And, so on down the fence.
Generals, colonies and majors,
Captains and subalterns, too,
They just beef and beef and growl
and growl
Until it reaches me and you.
You just won't dodge these beefers,
No matter where you roam.
Even in the most remote places
They seem to be at home.
This would be better army,
And in time, would be the best,
If these beefers would cease complain
ing
And give their tongues a rest.

as a fair "'straw vote" among the taxpayers of the

SOLDIERS AND THE CARNIVAL.

Participation in the MidPacifc Carnival by the
soldiers Of Oahu posts has always been feature
of the February celebration, and will continue TO
be- though upon different basis this year.
IL is true that there has been criticism, partcu-
larry among the soldiers themselves, that they were
being exploited for the sake of Honolulu interests.
Much OF this sentiment is certainly without ade-
quate foundation, and the letters published in the
local press following the Carnival of 1916 showed
that many soldiers did not take this view of the sit
uation at all. But so long as there is any sugges-
tion of this feeling, the Carnival directorate should
not seek to bring about encampment of the mill.
tary here under the theory that this would insure
participation in the Carnival upon large scale.
The Washington Birthday Parade-always one
Of The pfeHiier events of Carnival week-will doubt
less be held as in past days, and the men of the
various commands will be given special leave priv
leges so that they can be in the city at Carnival
time. II there are athletic events in connection
with the Carnival the entry of the soldiers may be
expected. Their track athletes and baseball teams
are right in the front rank of ability.
IT isuseless to enter into long discussion of the
reasons for the feeling held in some quarters that
the soldiers upon arriving in the city for the Car
nival eneampment were not adequately accommo
dated Lack of attention to details is partly respon
sibe for it, but every Carnival management to date
has been in spots careless to the details of man
agement.. That is the reason why the argument for
permanent Carnival organization and the employ
nent of paid and expert director has developed in
creasing force So long as the Carniyals are run
with amateur direction professional perfection can
not be expected and there is no question that those
In charge under the present system do effective
work-under the handcaps of the system itself
They are businessmen taking time for Carnival
work as a'matter Of helping public event.
The public appreciates to the full the participa-
tion of the military in the Carnival but the public
knows nothing of small troubles over details until
