casions holds a proud position among
his friends.
The official party is received with
great dignity and formality by the
chiefs Of the villages on these tours,
as the Samoans delight in ceremony
and speechmaking. The reception ac-
corded the Fita-Fitas by the pretty.
yivacious Samoan bellies of the diff
ferent villages is always exceedingly
cordial. These maidens. with bronze
compilations, are as susceptible to the
as their sisters in American are partial
to khaki and brass buttons.
Band Ix Feature.
The principal feature Of the Fita-
Fita organization is the band. lit
tie more than decade ago the ma
tives of American Samoa had never
seen a brass instrument but with in
finite patience a bandmaster of the
United States Navy eventually taught
some of the Fita -Fitas how to play,
with the result that today the roper
toire of the Fita-Fita Band covers a
wide range of classical and popular
airs.
THE favorite form Of recreation
for the Fita-Fita is cricket. The
English missionaries taught the
SamOanS the game, and cricket
tournaments are gala events in the
islands. Instead of having the reg
ulation IL on each side. however. the
natives have as many as 40 or SO, so
that a game very often assumes the
proportions of a miniature battle.
The roofing section is the prime
attraction at the tournament. Ihe
antics and capers of the Samoan
bleacheriteS' at their games would
make the stunts of the undergrad
yates at an intercollegiate game
seem tame in comparison. The ma
:ives crouch on the side lines, beat
ing wooden drums and giving vent
to wild chants, easily eclipslng our
own college cheers. as far as volume
of noise is concerned.
Courage of a high degree is char
acteristic Of the Samoans. The
world looked on with admiration IN
1889 when the natives detled the
warShips of three nationS-three
American ships. one British and
three German. Then. when hurri-
cane swept the harbor of Apia on
March Is, 1889, and destroyed all the
assembled warships, with the excep-
tion of the British Calliope, these
'savages swan out and rescued their
enemies"

IF RHEUMATIC
EAT NO SWEETS

rheumatism is easier to avoid
than to cure, states a well-known
authority. We are advised to dress
warmly, keep the feet dry, avoid
exposure. and above all. drink plen-
" of good water and avoid eating
sweets of all kinds.
rheumatism is caused by body
waste and acids resulting from food
fermentation. IT is the function of
the kidneys to filter this poison from
the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also
a means of freeing the blood of this
impurity. In damp and chilly cold
weather the skin pores are closed.
thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work: they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate this
waste and acids, which keeps accu-
mulating and circulating through
the system. eventually settling in the
joints and muscles, causing, stiffness
soreness and pain, called rheuma-
tism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces Of Jad Salts: put a table
spoonful in glass of water and
drink before breakfast each morning
for a week. This Is helpful to neu-
traliZe acidity. remove waste matter,
also to stimulate the kidneys. thus
often Kidding the blood of rheumatic
poison.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice. combined with lithia.
and is used with excellent results by
thousands OF folks who are subject
TO rheumatism.-Adv.

ON SEEKING ENJOYMENT

a philosopher has written: There
Is limit to enjoyment But have
we conception of that limit? We see
many running hitler and yon in
search of enjoyment, and. IL one may
judge from their manifest discomfort,
not finding IL. Among them will not
be found those who see wonderful
and but little understood world all
about them, who find delight in the
ways OF the birds. in the revelations
among the flowers and other growing
ahings in field and forest. Not one of
them, had they been horn deaf and
blind or were so afflicted in later life
would be likely TO find enjoyment as
Helen Keller has found 1t.
1t is said of her that she has
learned by lightly resting her sensi-
tive finger tips on the diaphragm OF
the receiving instrument, during
broadcasting of the music Of a SYM
phony orchestra, to distinguish the
various instruments and recognize
the voices Of the chorus, feel the vi
brations, also the impassioned
rhythm. the throb and urge OF the
music" Undoubtedly those Of us who
are blessed with sight and hearing
can have no real conception OF her
enjoyment of this. Undoubtedly, too
we are missing much In other ways
all about and open TO US. Of sources
Of pleasure which we have not dill
gently or intelligently sought.

Health Of Venizelos


Venizelos remained premier Of
Greece just long enough to obtain
, recognition of~~his government from
Great Britain, the United States and
other nations. He also remained long
enough to find out that the strongest
drift in Greece was away from the
monarchy and toward republic.
during his short incumbency he also
made sure that the turning out OF the
dynasty would not be too strongly
resented in England. Then he re-
signed, on advice of his physicians,
and remains In the background. while
the succeeding government wrestles
with the problem of passing from
monarchy to republic. Would it not
be curious if he were hailed from his
background and made first president
of the Greek republic? And would
his physicians forbid his accepting
the honor?
