The only way led straight ahead
The collector began it. steeled TO
the emergency by his experiences with
irate taxpayers. Also he shouted big
words as he advanced hoping they
would induce the animal to give room.
The bull only glared and waited, dig
ging trenches on each side OF him
with his forefeet.
When Mr.. Nicely was about It. feet
away and wondering what would be
the next happening, the bull lowered
his horns and gave a "swoosh' sound
with his nostrils. Then Mr.. Nicely
took to the brush and rocks. and as he
descended among them he caught his
finger on sharp projection
The bull made no pursuit hut Saunt-
cred off among the small bushes ;hat
fringeG the path, and little later the
party made its way past. Down the
road they met some cowboys 70 whom
they related their story, urging that
the animal be penned up and kept
from committing some murder. The
cowboys gleefully informed them that
the bull was blind.

said in his own behalf that his employer never gave
him instructions not to sell liquor to men in uni

court TO defend his fellow MEMBERS saving that in
the case at bar the proprietor of the saloon testified
before the commission that he did instruct his bar

Another Gambling Inquiry.

Perhaps the determination Of the city attorney
Office try next week three "amblin cases OF long
standing may have been the result of the editor
ial in the Star Bulletin last Saturday. and the
speedy trial promised may he merely a coincidence
with he publication Of that editorial. Let us hope
in any event that these cases will he tried IN OF

ton of the long delay * reasonable one
The three cases mentioned by the city attorney $
Office the Territory w. All Hoo. TERRITORY vs.
All Hee and Territory vs. All 20. The first of these
cases which involved All Hoo and II others, was
in the district court more than year ago. The
second. All Hee and 81 others. has been pending
sin', July 1916. The third which involved All Po
and 40 others" drifted away from the district
court way back in the dog days Of 1916.
The Star Bulletin will later show the desperate
attempts to have the cases tried before now and
will quote the official record on the subject.
IN the meantime, how about the case of All Young
and others, who seem to have been found guilty
in October, 1916. and appealed their cases?
Will they likewise be tried?
II And, likewise in the meantime, how about the
of the % Chinese arrested August 20 of the
present year whose is in the circuit court?
Will they ever be tried?
Every night since their arrest gambling has been
carried on in the same resort at which they were
arrested under similar circumstances to those exist
ing when the arrest of August 20 was made. Is it
small wonder that inquiry is made, when will they
be tried?
The county attorneys office care lilly disting-
ushes between the All Hoo whose case is year
or so old, and the " All Hoo of River street fame
The Star Bulletin knew well the difference since
the latter All Hoo seems immune from arrest But
his place River street still is open for business
There are other cases on the docket to which the
Etar Bulletin will later make reference for the pur
pose of ascertaining when they will be tried.

HOW HE SAVED a TOE,

- APTAIN CHARLES H. BAKER O.
the city police force believes thaj
- the simple medical treatment Of !
primitive old Hawaiian man is what
saved him the loss of toe. The
story OF how the police officer almost
lost toe is often told around the 20
lice station as follows:
Once when off on a vacation on a
tiny island near one of the larger is?
ands OF the group, Captain Bake.
with another man who was with him
saw a ripe bunch of bananas in a large
rubbish hole in back of a house on
the island, while the two were wan
dering about observing the objects OF
interest in the vicinity.
Boy like, the two men started after
the ripe fruit with a rush, and Cap
tain Baker, proving the more agile Of
the two arrived ahead and leaped
down into the pit to the place at
which the bananas had been seen.
1t was later learned that this hole
had been used by the people living in
the vicinity as a dump for. old bottles.
which they smashed on the bottom OF
the pit and then covered with old
banana leaves and similar debris to
hide the traces of the bottles.
Captain Baker, in his jump. landed
sGuarely on one of the broken bottles
in the pit Discovering what he had
jumped into only too late, he crawled
out of the hole with one of his toes
just about cut off.
No doctor was near and friends i'm
mediately proceeded to call for aid.
An old Hawaiian man nearby volun-
teered assistance. He lighted up an
old pipe and started in smoking furi-
ously. Blowing the smoke on the
wounded parts of the toe he soon had
it coated with nicotine He then put
chewing tobacco around the toe and
covered the wound with a native leaf,
following it with a bandage.
Not long afterward the bandage was
removed and the toe was we'll on its
way to recovery. Now it is as good
as ever.

THE OLDEST FLAG

Editor Star-Bulletin,
Dear Sir: In your editorial of Fri.
day, August 81, What the Flag
Means" the statement is made that
the American flag is the oldest flag
in the world. Kindly permit me to
correct this.
The flag of Denmark, red with a
white cross, dates back to 1918, when
the then Danish king, Waldemar, un-
dertook a crusade against the hea-
thens in the now Russian province Of
Estland on the shores of the Baltic.
The Danes being hard pressed by
the enemy in the great battle of VOL
mer, the Danish archbishop, accom-
panying the army, started to pray
from a hilltop; as long as his arms
were extended in supplication, all
went we'll with the Danes, but when
at last tired of his exertion his arms
began to sag. the tide of battle would
turn against the Danes. Attendants
then lifted up the arms Of the arch.
bishop and supported them, the battle
was at last won, the enemy being ut
terly routed.
At the most crucial moment of the
battle an emissary from Rome arrived
with the new flag of Denmark as a
gift from the pope. Hurting it, staff
and all. from the hilltop among the
struggling hen, it spurred them to re.
newed efforts, winning the battle.
This is why the Danes sing in one
of their battle songs that Dame
brog fell from the heavens down." and
the flag has from that day been the
national flag of Denmark.
According to this the Danish flag
will, in 1918. have been IN existence
700 years, holding the worlds rec,
ord, believe.
Thanking you IN advance for pub

THE PRESIDENT AND THE BIBLE

President Wilson in the midst of the duties that
crush upon him finds time to think of the soldiers
the average in the ranks and what will be help
full and of interest to them
| The president found time the other day to write
letter about the Bible and this letter will appear
on the fly leaf of 600 copies of the New Testament
that are to be sent to the men at the front
Perhaps some fellows will sneer at mention of the
Bible and what the president may say of it as in
teresting soldiers, the swashbucklers who 90 forth
to say.
But the president did not sneer. He took the time
to write special message. Nor do the boys in the
ranks sneer.
This war is bringing the thoughts of strong men
to first principles. 1t is causing men to consider
principle and what each one is willing to sacrifice
for great And the cause for which they are
fighting has it's fundamentals in the teaching of the
Bible, continuation for future generations of what
the Bible and its influence has brought to humanity
up to the present day.
And this is what the president wrote of the Bible
1t typed with special reference to the boys at
the 'front.' but it is splendid message for every per-
son who knows or wants to know the difference be-
tween good and evil:
1.-THE Bible is the word of life beg that YOU will
read it and find this out for yourseIves-read, not
little snatches here and there, but long passages
that will really be the road to the heart of it, You
will find it full of real men and women not only,
but also of things you have wondered about and
been troubled about all your life; as have been
always; and the more you read the more it will be-
come plain to you what things are worth while and
what are not, what things make men happy-loy-
atty, right dealings, speaking the truth, readiness
to give everything for what they think their duty
and most of all, the wish that they NAV have the
real approval of them-and the things that are
guaranteed to make them unhappy-sefshness
cowardiee, greed and everything that is low and
mean. When you have read the Bible you will know
that it is the word of God, because you will have
found it the key to your own heart, your own hap
piness and your own duty

PAID PUBLICITY FOR THE LIBERTY LOAN.

Announcement of the second Liberty Loan was
accompanied by the statement by Secretary McAdOO
Tat the campaign for floating this loan should in
clude plan and means to provide for paid pub
licity.
This is result of the recommendations of the
national advertising advisory board, and the expe-
rience in floating the first loan. A suggestion of
what this experience was may be found in the re-
marks of A. ID. Welton of the American Bankers
Association, who recently said 1--WE have had sew
eral meetings and have reached the conclusion that
while we will do all can to assist the dotaton,
we will not contribute money to disorganized, in
efficient and wasteful process of selling these
bonds" In other words businessmen believe that
the government should use business methods
shortly before his announcement of the date when
the second loan will be fioated, Secretary McAdoo
held conference with the advertising advisory
board which outlined plan of spending approx.
imately two millions of dollars in the Hotation.
While this is large amount of money, it is very
small percentage of cost for three billion dollar
project.
On the basis of an expenditure of 81 100000 the
following distribution of the fund was suggested !:
Daily, monthly and weekly papers, including those
printed in foreign languages, 100000; farm papers,
100000; small town dailies and weeklies, 100000;
printed posters, circulars, etc., 100000. The me-
diums which the board proposes to use detailed
as follows: Newspapers, magazines farm papers,
business press, religious press, foreign language
press painted bulletins billboards street cars cir
cularizations, house organs and factory bulletins.
The boarl and the agencies which it represents
gave their services free the government in adver
Using the first issue and the services would be
given the government again without cost in adver-

would be devoted purely to payment for advertising

sWhile the great bulk of the daily press will ex-

though the amount. of space to be used would not
entitle the government to that rats and will give
preferred position to the advertising. Some full

proposed to institute entire innovation by run

two columns wide on the front pages.

DIETARY RULES FOR THE AGED
Total Amount OF Food Consumed Must
Be Diminished and Vegetables
Should Be Used Freely.

Owing TO the diversity in extent and
character of the senile changes in diff
ferent individuals, it is impossible to
arrange for aged persons a general
dietary based upon calories, proteins,
etc, but 1T Is possible to make some
broad generallzations. and this is what
DR.. l. L. Nascher did at q meeting OF
the Medical Association of the Greater
City of New York. The Medical Jour
nal gives the following synopsis of
Doctor Nascher's advice:
'"The total amount Of food must be
diminished. With the falling out of
teeth, the amount of meat must be
diminished, and 1t must be thoroughly
cooked and finely chopped. Vegetables
containing much cellulose should be
used freely. Foods should be prepared
in liquid, semi-liquid or mush form,
and dry foods, especially smoked foods
and nuts, should be avoided.
food should not be given at shorter
intervals than four or five hours. Mild
alcoholics with meals and at bedtime
were not Objectionable. Old people
were apt to overeat when they got
some exceptional delicacy, and care
must be exercised In this respect"
