Consider the Lilies of the Field, How
They Grow"

The life of the lily is but a few
weeks or months. The life of man is
three score years and ten." But to
live ones life in its fullness, women
like the lily, must be nourished by
those same rival elements which ma
ture provides for nourishing every liv-
ing thing; and these include the val
liable phosphate so often lacking in
the usual food we eat today. Argo-
Phosphate il rich in these wonderful
elements. 1t contains them in concen-
trated tablet form which is easy to
take and quickly assimulated and abb
sorbed into the system, and from youth
to old age, builds and rebuids body and
brain in beautiful harmony with Ma
lures perfect plan. "That's why"
Argo-Phosphate makes good solid flesh
and muscles.
SPECIAL NOTICE.: Argo-Phos-
phate contains the Natural phosphates
which thousands of physicians are
prescribing daily to build up thin, pale,
colorless women to give them rosy
cheeks, red lips, and beautiful COM
plexion. Many cases have been re-
ported where women have increased
their weight from Is to rs pounds
with a few weeks treatment, and any
woman who desires a we'll rounded
and developed form, should secure
from her druggist, this new drug
which is inexpensive and is dispensed
by any reliable druggist with or with
out doctors prescription. If your
druggist will not supply you, send
500 to the Argo Laboratories, 10
Forsyth ST., Atlanta, Ga, and they
will send you two weeks treatment

RESOLUTIONS OF APPRECIATION

Whereas, our beloved pastor, Rev.
Geo. p White, has felt it his duty to
resign the pastorate of our church,
to accept call to the Bamberg Bap-
tist church;
And, whereas, Brother White has
won for himself large place in the
affections of our congregation, during
the four years of his pastorate;
And, whereas, we feel that he has
been a faithful minister of Jesus
Christ, crying aloud and sparing not,
bringing a message of salvation to
the hearers; devoting himself to the
work of our Lord unselfishly and zeal
ously;
Be it resolved: That we sever the
pastoral relation with regret;
That we commend our beloved
brother to the brethren of the BAN
berg church;
That we pray Gods richest blessing
upon him and his family in the new
field to which they are moving.
May the Great Head of the church
grant to him and to us continued
mercies.
Done by order of the church in con-
ference, this 23rd day of September,

kauai IS MEAN
Editor Garden Island:

Editor Garden Island;
In Olden times we used to have
the arrangement about building
roads, that Hon. Lorrin Thurston is
now championing. Mr. Thurston
became our minister of interior in
1887 after the revolution, that made
King Kalakaua sign the new con-
stitution, and as minister of in
terror he was lord supreme in re-
gard to road matters. We did not
like the arrangement of having all
our road-money go to Honolulu as
we did not get back our share. We
then got the road-board system
which was an improvement, but
the drawbacks were that the mem
bcrs of the road board did not know
about building roads. On
Kauai we had honest road boards,
but money was wasted because the
road boards knew nothing about
building roads and they could not
afford to hire anybody but a man
who knew nothing about h e
science Of building roads. We got
county government and the ques-
tion was solved for good. We elect
cd for supervisors men of standing.
We gave them free hands, They
engaged a man who know how to
build roads, the supervisors only
directing what part be did first,
second, etc. We paid our road en-
ginter such salary that he is with
us still. The board of supervisors
lets him direct the work as they
realize that road building is science

OPENING Of THE
[|HUE ARMORy

Kauai is to have its first military
ball. On March 9th. it is expect
ed that every automobile on Kauai
will be headed Lihueward, bearing
its freight of beauty and manhood
to take part in the opening of the
Lihue armory, the largest dancing
floor on Kauai.
All efforts are being made to have
the ball the very largest social event
that has ever taken place on this
island. Nothing that should be in
a military ball will be left out. There
will be a brass band, a string band.
Filipino band, an exhibition drill
and many, many dances. Other
interesting features are being dcvel-
oped.
The ball is to have a very worthy
purpose. The majority of h
guardsmen are Filipinos. These
men are deserving of the utmost
credit for the way they have attend
ed drills under difficult circum-
stances, without equipment and
without pay. To become full-hedg-
ed guardsmcn they must at least
have taken out their first papers to
become citizens of the United States.
This necessitates for them a hnan-
cial outlay that is very difficult for
them to meet. Maui has taken care
Of this for her guardsmen. 1t is
now up to Kauai to do the same by
being present eu masse at the ball
on the 24th. All proceeds from the
ball will go to obtaining first papers
for the Filipino guardsmen.
Tickets will soon be on sale by
every National Guard officer. One
thousand are being printed. Watch
the Daily Wireless for develop
ments.

Lihue Union Church

At the Lihue Union service on
Sunday there was an uncommonly
sweet solo finely rendered by Mrs,
Ahana, There is no Darkness"
and a duet and chorus number by
Miss Daisy Sheldon and Miss Lot
tie Jordon and the choir.
The sermon dealt with the theme
THE Value of a Fine Inheritance. "
The church decorations were origi-
nal and effective, some of the ma
terial having been brought from
Olokelc, to wit a shrub bearing
masses of odd, vari-colored, balloon
capsules that were quite effective.

DAM|EN'S
WORK IS RECALLED
Ussued by the United States Public
Health Servicc)


At Tremeloo, Belgium, IS years
ago, Joseph De Neuster, better
known as Father Damien, was born.
He was educated for a business
career, but when he was eighteen
years old he entered holy orders,
and fifteen years later, in October
1864, went to Honolulu as a mis-
sionary in the stead of his brother.
In 1864 he was ordained a priest,
and during the nine years that fol-
lowed he was frequently struck in
his parochial work with the pitiful
condition of the Hawaiian lepers.
In 1873, he volunteered to take up
his residence on the Island of Molo-
kai, to which at that time all lepers
were deported, and there he remain
ed until his death on April Is,
1889. He gave evidence in 1885 of
having contracted lcprosy from the
unfortunates committed to his care,
but he continued his labors.
Leprosy is a contagious, infectious
disease, which is believed to be di-
rectly communicable from per-
son to another person 1t is be-
lieved to be caused by microscopic
vegetable parasite shaped somewhat
like small curved stick. This
bacillus was discovered by Hansen
in 1874. In man the disease ap-
pears in several different forms, at
tacking almost any organ in the
body, destroying any or all of the

for which a man must be trained.
We elected honest county officers
We have had no graft-accusation or
Investigations on Kauai. Our coun-
ty money is spent as it ought to be
spent. Our county officials are re-
elected and reelected over and over
again. A county election on Kauai
is the quietest kind of an affair as
there is as a rule only one candidate
for each oifice-the old incumbent.
The result of this is, we have the
best roads in the Territory, Our
schOOl-houseS are in first class order.
Everything is as good as our re
sources can make it and Kauai for
them.
1t is true that Kauai is compare
lively more compact than any one
of the other islands, but we have
not SO many fool notions to squan-
der money on either Maui wants
a fancy road to the top of Haleaka-
la, etc. We have some sights on
Kauai. The Waimea Canyon, Olo-
kele Canyon, but we have not spent
any money on getting roads to these
sights but we will as soon as we
have a belt-road from one end of
Napali district to the other end of
Napali district in perfect order.
When we have that we will do the
less used roads. We build no road
on Kauai because the Honorable
John Aihuenui or the Peter Kolohe-
vale, Esquire, lives in a certain
locality.
Kauai is tight place. We have
no heart for our less fortunate
brethren in other parts of the Terri
tory. Kauai is a tight-wad in the
same sense as a man who refuses an
old drunk the loan of dollar to

A DISEASE COSTS.
MILLION A YEAR

(By the Anti-tubcrculosis Bureau OF the
Board OF IIealth.)
Over one million dollars year is
the economic loss to Hawaii of
tuberculosis according to the figures
prepared several years ago by DR..
A. n. Sinclair, then director of the
tuberculosis bureau. The figure was
based upon an estimate Of loss for
Honolulu only, the latter being cal
culated according to the most ap-
proved methods of modern economy.
DR.. Sinclair at that time arrived at
the figure OF 1923. 31S, as the loss
to Honolulu, and as the status of
tuberculosis in the Territory has re-
manned the same the figure is prob
ably correct today. Honolulu sup
plies less than half the tuberculosis
in the Territory so that the total
loss through this disease for the Is
lands is considerably over Il million
dollars.
The Legislature is now being ask
ed for sl75, 600 for a two years con-
tinuance OF the campaign against
