HONOLULU HAS
UNIQUE POLITE
CAL SITUATION

HONOLULU, lBy MaiD, Aug.
aO.-Honolulu is facing a political sit
uation in its annals. With Demo
cratic mayor and a Republican board
of supervisors, both at loggerheads
over appointments, the taxpayers are
wondering who is who.
For two months the mayors list of
appointments to municipal berths,
numbering over 100, have been laying
on the table as a result of action of
the supervisors, while the mayors
clamors for recognition Of his prerog-
atiyes are given scant attention. The
outcome OF it all is that the Repub-
lican followers from the past admin
istration are still in Office and jubi-
liant while the Democratic Office seek
ers are still out in the cold and cry
ing for their rights.
All efforts at compromise having
failed the Democrats have sought re-
lief in the courts and what is regard
ed as the forerunner Of other suits to
GUST the followers was filed today by
Democrat leaders applying FOR an in
junction to hold up the salary of the
superintendent Of parks and play
grounds and praying the court to set
aside an ordinance enacted by the Re
publican board taking away from the
mayor the power of appointments.
Other suits contemplated aim to hold
up the salary Of the fire chief, water
works superintendent, building in
spector and manager OF the lighting
department.

DRINK A GLASS

Says we will both took and feel

Sanitary science has OF late made
rapid strides with results that are OF
untold blessing to humanity The lat
est application ofits untiring research
is the recommendation that It is as
necessary to attend to Internal sani-
tation of the drainage system of the
human body as it is to the drains OF
tho house.
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache. stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom'
ach, can, instead. feel as fresh as a
daisy by pening the sluices of the sys-
tenn each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should. each morning before
breakfast drink glass Of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash. from the
stomach, liver and bowels the pre-
vious csy's indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach. The
action OF hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour denominations. gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast.
While you are enjoying your break
fast the phosphated hot water is
quietly extracting a large volume of
water from the blood and getting
ready for thorough flushing OF all the
inside organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic
stiffness; others who have sallow
skins, blood disorders and siekly com
plexons are urged to get quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate from
the drug store. This will cost very
little. but is sufficient to make anyone
a pronounced crank on the subject OF
internal sanitation.
