TO pARTICIpATE

MADISON, Sept. 26.-Announcing
its active participation in National
Cancer Week, the State Board OF
Health today made known some OF
its plans for enlightening the people
of Wisconsin concerning the dread
disease. cancer. National Cancer
Week." says the statement issued by
the Board is being sponsored by
the American Society for the Con-
troll of Cancer and the campaign of
intensive educational effort is to ex-
tend from October 30th to -Novem-
Der 5th."
'The Society has been engaged in
studying cancer prevalence and
prevalence and prevention since
1913, thereby accommodating a fund
of valuable information. Cancer was
formerly though to be incurable,
continues the statement of the board
''but at present definite hope for a
cure is held out provided prompt,
early and decisive action is taken. =
Whether or not person succumbs
to cancer depends very largely up
on the individual. Each person
must become conversant with the
danger signals and Immediately seek
competent advice"
cit is now know that cancer in
variably begins as local affection
and is not a constitutional or So
called "bIood" disease. However
it must never be forgotten that the
successful treatment of cancer de-
ponds primarily upon early recog-
nition."
''The death rate from cancer in
Wisconsin is somewhat higher than
it is in the registration area of the
United States, which area COM
prises thirty-three of the principal
states and eighteen cities. There
fore, comprehensive efforts are de-
manded in order that tho people
may be aroused to full sense of
the peril which besets them"
'In addition to disseminating au-
thoritative information through the
press and special bulletins, the Board
plans to hold one or more popular
meetings on the control of cancer in
each city having a population ex-
ceeding five thousand. By these
MEANS" says the statement in con-
clusion, at is hoped to present to
the people vital information which
will eliminate much unnecessary suf-
fering and aid in the conservation of
our most valuable asset, human life. .

GHETTO'S GUNGA dim A TURK
Fez and 5augy Trousers Give New
York Drink Vender Potential
Oriental Atmosphere.

Picturesque on hot days among
upper East side peddlers Is the Turk
ish lemonade vender, says New York
Sun. He may be merely native
American In disguise, but he adds to
the interest of what might otherwise
be a commonplace occidental trade by
going about CARRIED like Turk such
as children are familiar with through
the pages of their geography books.
Across his back rests tank as long
as his body, and held up by a thick
strap slung over his right shoulder
and under his left arm. A sort OF
Sam Browne belt encircles his waist,
except that where on the Sam Browne
belt would be place for bullets he
has .receptacles for glasses. You ask
him for glass of lemonade. he
bows to you, and in so doing oper-
ates q mechanism which spills from
the tank, through a bung hole near
the bottom, some ice-cold lemonade,
which falls into glass he holds IN
his hand. AS the liquid nears the
top, he straightens up, hands you the
glass, and you give him two cents.
A more frequent spectacle Is that
of the individual whe Is continually
crying: "Heiser arbus, heiser bub-
bas." He Is declaiming, In Yiddish
.Hot peas, hot BEANS" His heating
contrivance Is In a four-wheeled cart
he pushes by hand. For one cent he
gives you a small bag, for two cents
a larger bag, and for five cents ne
sells you enough to give you cramps
The presence Of the "Heiser arbus''
man is signal for the kids OF the
nelghbor.icod to tun to their mothers
for pennies.

Buddhist scriptures to China from In
dia in the Tang dynasty, are also worN

the place of the Bible IN Christianity,
are the Book Of L.ao-tze.
This new religion is now prevalent
throughout all provinces In China. 1t
was propagated In Shantung by, II is
said, former premier, Chen Neng-

many high and influential people. The
believers hold three regular meetings

which require more than four hours
for completion. In Picking, the relig

THE RIGHT KIND

Two ,bona-fide tourists, Miss H.
King and Miss N. Brown, came over
on the Kinau last Friday and returned
Saturday. They had been warned,
discouraged, and almost dissuaded
from coming because of the discom-
forts of the trip and the steamer ac-
commodation. They found however,
that the trip was pleasant surprise
and that the Kinau was "fine little
boat" Even the midnight landing
had no terrors for them.
Awaiting themselves of the Gomez
service, they made the Olekele trip,
Barking Sands, Spouting Horn and
Kukuio lono park one day, and Hama
lei the next.
They were delighted with all they
saw and the treatment they got, and
had no kick" to make about anything,
roads, weather, or service. They
are the right kind!

RETIRING JUDGES

Robert Puike, the retiring judge of
the Hawaiian District Court has SER
we'd long and worthy term of service.
Thirty years or so ago he served a
term of several years as District Judge
of Hanalei, and for the last fourteen
years has been Judge of Kawaihau.
A man Of sturdy common sense
and sterling principle, and thoroughly
conversant with local conditions, he
has filled the position very acceptably,
His name will be held in honor.
d. X. Kapahee, the retiring Judge
of the Koloa District has served in
that capacity for nineteen years. No
more favorable or significant comment
can be made on his service than the
length of it. A nineteen years tenure
of office means good work!
Without special legal training for
the position, he had good general
education, good common sense, and
firm determination to see justice done
as directly and promptly as possible.
He had no patience with the quirks
and bubbles of pettifogging lawyers,
and sometimes won their disfavor. But
for substantial justice, he was all
there.

A BIRTHDAY LUNCH PARTY

Mrs. Arthur Wood, a niece of Mrs.
VIM. Hyde Rice, has been the recip-
lent of many social favors at the
hands of her friends, during the last
two or three weeks.
Among other such affairs, most
delightful lunch party was given for
her yesterday by Mrs. VIM. Hyde Rice
to which some Is guests were invited
In connection with most delicious
menu there was an old time custard
the exact duplicate of one made for
her on her third birthday, the memory
of which she has treasured fondly
ever since.
In connection with the lunch an
original poem composed by Mrs. Rice
for the occasion was read, and an
appropriate response of the same
character was made by Mrs. Wood.
Both were very apropos and added
much to the interest of the occasion.

GETTING READY FOR
REAL CONSTRUCTION.

The lighthouse tender Kukui arrived
at Nawiliwili last Wednesday morn
ing with heavy timbers and launch
to be used in the harbor construction
work.
Friday morning the Kinau brought
a complete piledriver for use in
building the temporary wharf and for
driving piling for the 450 foot trestle
across the Huleia river. An air
compressor has also arrived. This
will be set up Immediately on the
quarry site and work started in devel-
oping the quarry.
This will be the first quarry to be
worked on Kauai and little is known
about the quality or size of rock that
can be procured. 1t is fully expected
however, that rock of sufficient size
can be obtained to construct the rub
BILE mound type Of breakwater. II
large stones cannot be secured it will
be necessary to build the breakwater
with caissons filled with small rock.
Piling timbers for the wharf and
trestle are being furnished by Grove
Farm.
