rE7HE plain simple truth about
Aemel reads like the biblical
l. story of The Good Samaritan"
The files in our Offices contain many
letters from people praising Agmel
people who were sick with Bright's
disease, high blood pressure and other
deadly maladies-and who by their
own testimony are now in perfect
health.
We feel like shouting the story of
Agmel from the housetops SO that
all sufferers may hear. All day long,
men and women come to our offices,
saying "A friend of mine told me
about Agmel." One after the other,
it's the same story-the pathetic hu-
man story oflives that were saddened
by disease, hopes lost-and then the
ncwlight and life that Agmel brought
end joyous tears of gratitude.
Asmel is not drug. 1t is a highly
concentrated raw food-the sap of
the Mexican Maguey plant. A pow
erful corrective tonic, that has been
proven of exceptional value in the
treatment of all kidney disorders.

HAWAII PLANS TO ENTERTAIN
 MEN OF UNITED STATES SHIPS

HONOLULU, Feb 4.-One of the first measures to be considered by the territorial legislature when it con- venes in February will provide an ap- propriation of $75,0O0 for the recep- ton and entertainment of men and officers of the United States fleet and the sixty newspaper editors expected to accompany them next spring.
 The appropriation will be asked on the ground that the fleets visit will benefit all islands in the archipelago. The committee in charge of arrange ments plans concerted action to pre- vent any rate boosting by hotels, lodg- ing or aparment houses.
 It is planned to entertain the visit ing editors with Hawaiian ''huki lau" or feast of fish. This is relic of the ancient days when Hawaiian fishermen made their catch and cook ed and ate the fish on the beach. Governor Harrington is expected to be host at grand ball in honor of the naval men.

QUESTION OF ROBBED HAIR
 STILL KEEPS MEN ARGUING

LONDON, Feb. 4.-ArS1nents for and against bobbed hair are prolific, and have agitated the minds even 10 ,.mnel professors. LeCtc!.Ag to members of the London College of Physiology, Professor H. J. Harper Roberts said bobbing had evidently come to stay. It's advantages were threefold; it was becoming to a cer- tain type of woman, it made for free dom and it was easy to dress aud to wash. The disadvantage was that 1t exposed a sensitive part of the neck which often broke into rash for about a month afterwards.
 A beauty specialist, Dr. Jacques Brettman, takes exactly the opposite view He condemns the modern craze for hobbed hair anu says many wcnlrn ave told him they wish they had not been bobbed.
 Mans ideal woman is still the ideal of the ages" Dr. Brettman stat ed, "a woman with flowing hair over shoulders. When she bobs her hair she cuts just so much from our con- ception of her. In our eyes it en- hances the beauty of very few wo- men,"

LEGISLATURE WILL HELP
 TOWN TO QUIT BUSINESS

OLYMPIA, Feb 1.-The plight of the town of Cunningham in Adams county which wants to go out of busi ness as a corporation, but can't, caus- ed the introduction of house bill No. 2S in the Washington legislature.
 Cunningham a decade ago boasted a population of from 400 to 500, but succession of bad years and growth of nearby towns has reduced it today to 15 or 20 people. The mayor and all other former officials except the city clerk have moved.
 Yet in spite of abandonment the Corporation has bank balance of $900 and no debts.
 Under the present laws a town de siring to disincorporate can hold an election for that purpose, but Gun ningham has no officers to call an election, so Representative Cross of Adams county introduced a bill al lowing the superior court to step in and handle the disincorporation pro- cess.
 An anti-weapon bill with new teeth in it designed for bootleggers and minor offenders, will be introduced. This bill would render any person guilty of crime who has a weapon in their possession and liable to ten years imprisonment.

ORDER AWAITS
 SECOND COMING OF CHRIST

LONDON, Feb. 4.-In order to wait for the second coming of Christ two thousand members of the Order of tue Star in the East, have built an amphitheatre at Balmoral Beach, near Sydney, Australia, says the Express correspondent So deep is their be- lief that this return is imminent prep arations have been made at the cost of $60,O00 raised by enrolling mem bers of the order who subscribe from $50 to $500 per seat.
 While the orders belief is that Christ will return in himan form, it is expected he will arrive at the amphi- theatre by walking on the water from South Head, at the entrance to the harbor to Balmoral.
 The amphitheatre will contain a small model of a Greek theatre which will be used for the staging of Greek drama during the waiting period, as even the most confident member of the order will not say just when the second coming is to take place.

ARMY POWDER UNDAMAGED
 BY STORAGE UNDER WATER

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.-Experi- ments conducted by the army have demonstrated that smokeless powder may be stored under water in cold mountain lakes without deterioration, it was announced here recently at headquarters of the Ninth Corps area
 This, it was said, probably will pro- vide a method of storing powder with out danger of fire or explosion. The constant low temperature maintained under water retards the decomposi- tion of the powder which normally would take place if it were stored in magazines and thus it is expected ac- tually to increase it's life by probably ten years.
 Powder which has been in storage for several years under water" said the statement ''can be given a simple drying treatment and fired in the gun for which it was originally designed without appreciable variation in ve- locity and pressure. These condi- tions are maintained with little diff ference whether the powder is stored in sea water or fresh water.
 Three types of powder have been used in the underwater storage ex- pertinent. Powder for the 75mm, 155mm and 12-inch guns was placed in specially prepared boxes provided with numerous openings to allow the free circulation of water, and immers- ed in the lake to a depth of about three feet. For purposes of compar ison an equal amount of each kind of powder was stored in a magazine. At the end of six months samples taken from the lake were found to have un- dergone no appreciable change either in stability CT ballistic qualities"
