Among other things she said that the
people of Waterville contributed at
Christmas time $3.50 for charitable
work which she had records Of and
that the most of this was distributed

the splendid work that Overseer Of the
Poor Giroux is doing for those people
who it is the duty of the city to help.
She told her hearers that she was
working in perfect harmony with Mr..
Giroux and that through their efforts
many cases that would have contin-
ued to be a burden to the city were
being taken care of and in some cases
in such q way that they would never
become burden again. The Charities
has assisted about 20 families since
the time that she started work and
every case has been carefully investi-
gated and the best possible done for
them. In some cases work has been
procured for a man or woman and in
others where there was no one to work,
charity has been extended. Following

Some Citizens Of Hawaii.
New York Times)

The Honolulu star Bulletin gives
an account of the Japanese American
Citizens Association of Hawaii. Or
ganized by a few Japanese who are
citizens by right of their birth in
Hawaii, it has grown to a membership
of more than 1900, and it expects to
have 1000 by March. 1t discusses all
the questions Of the day, takes an ac-
tive interest in municipal matters and
in advertising Hawaii" teaches Ha-
waiian-born japanese under the vot-
ing age the principles and duties of
good citizenship. A similar associa-
ton has been formed in Oahu.
The Rev. S. Sokabe Of Honolulu,
leader of the association, gives its
young men counsel which is well
worth reading: Hawaiian born Japa-
nese have a great mission today. The
japanese Of Hawaii must become the
pacificators should trouble come be-
tween Japan and America.
Should crisis come you would be the
interpreters between Japan and
America, and you should be the
pacificators. You owe it to yourselves
to do this. Learn to be good Ameri-
can citizens and then you will be able
do more to keep peace than the am
bassadors and ministers. You will be
the keystone of all international ques-
tions. Young men of Hawaii, it is
best that you work to make a Japa-
nese, American Citizens Association a
success. You who are born in Ha-
waii are not the sons Of the emperor.
If trouble should come with Japan
you must remember that you are the
sons of the President, not Of the en-
peror. Aim to work for the best ex-
amples of citizenship and then aim to
work for peace"
These Americans should drop the
word Japanese" and be content with
plain american" But there is no
hyphen in their citizenship. no divi-
sion of their allegiance. Sons Of the
President. not of the emperor. There
are American citizens who forget that,
who are sons Of the embperor, not of
the President.

This question is asked every day.
A cold is really fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
