Hawaiian Schools Losing
Many Teachers.
Hawaiian schools are likely to
suffer a severe lack of teachers
this fall, for the supply of qualified
women in the islands is being re
duced almost daily.
The situation in Hawaii is peculiar,
for "most of the teachers there are
the wives of army officers and en
listed men. The teachers' husbands
are now being transferred to other
points, and their wives are going
With them, or, in the event of the
men being sent to tbe fighting line in
Europe, backjo. their homes.
The consequence is that heroic
measures may have to be adopted to
find a supply of women teachers in
Hawaii, or to devise means by which
those who are left can be made to
fill the places .of those who have
. gone.

ILLY BELGIUM'S resolve to
save both Jonathan Hardfist
and his money was brave, but
Peggy didn't see how he was going
to do it. Nevertheless, she was
ready to help all she could.
The German officers in the draw
ing room were Jiaving a loud dis
cussion over plans spread out before
the general. The conference was
interrupted every minute or two by
messengers, who rushed in with re
ports. Those reports, it seemed, did
not bear good news, for the Ger
mans were growing very gloomy.
The talk was all in German, but
Billy Belgium could make out part
of it.
"The American troops are counter-attacking,"
he whispered to Peg
gy. "Tift Germans are in danger of
being driven back."
Another messenger rushed in and
evidently his news was very bad in
deed, for it caused a great commo
tion among the officers. The gen
eral rapped out a brusque com
mand. "He has ordered a retrcat,"'whis
pered Billy Belgium.
The general spoke again. Billy's
face turned white as he caught the
words. , y
"He has ordered this house set
afire and Hr. Hardfist shot at oflw!
Come!"
Billy led the way up the ladder.
Near the top of the ventilator was a

door. Going through this they
found themselves in a large attic.
Billy rushed across to a window
which opened upon a courtyard at
the rear of the house.
"Look!" he whispered.
Feggy never forgot the picture on
which her eyes rested. At one side
German soldiers were foading Mr.
Hardfist's treasure chest into an
army automobile. At the other side
stood Mr. Hardfist himself, facing
a squad of soldiers armed with rifles.
"They're coiner to shoot him!"
said Billy. "We haven't a second to
spare."
Desperately Billy looked around
for a weapon. There wasn't one in
sight. A sharp, vicious buzzing
caused him to jump quickly aside
as a large hornet flew past his ear
on its way from the window to a
nest hanging from a rafter.
"A hornet's nest! The very thing!"
he muttered. Stripping off his coat,
he wrapped it quickly around the
nest, imprisoning the hornets with
in. Then he gently tore the nest
loose from the rafter. An angry
buzz from within told that the hor
nets were aroused to a fury by being
thus disturbed.
A second nest hung near by, and
this Billy treated in the same way,
wrapping it in an cjKl dress he found
on a hook. ' '
"The minute the soldiers make a
move as if to tire, throw these
Mr.ong them," he directed. "I'm
going down to save Mr. Hardfist."
With that he vanished down the
ventilator "shaft.
Teggy looked from the window.
The officer in charge of the firing
squd was giving an order to his
men. Not waiting another instant
J Peggv hurletl the first nest from the
window, tearing on pmy 3 as
she did so. Then she hurled the sec
ond nest right after it.
the effect was astonishing. As
the first5 nest fell, the Germans
leaped away from it in alarm, evi
dently thinking it a new kind of
bomb. Their officer yelled at them,
but justthcn the second nest fell
and they were more alarmed than
ever. Just then, too, the wrathy
hornets burst fofth in a fury. They
went right after the Germans, driv
ing in their stings with vicious
strength. As the first hornets
lauded, the Germans let out howls
of pain and slapped sharply at the
little fighters. Then as the hornets
poured forth in a cloud and the
Germans found that the harder they
slapped the worse they got stung,
they flung down their rifles and fled
out into the garden anywhere to
escape the fury of this unexpected
attack.
The officer waved his sword in a
vain attempt to stop the flight ofhis
men, but when one hornet lit 011 his
nose and another stung him in the
back of his neck, he let out a whoop
of pain and rushed from the scene
at a pace that soon put him ahead of
his fleeing squad.
For a moment, at least, Jonathan
Hardfist was safe, and so was his
treasure. Peggy leaned far out of
the window to see what Billy Bel
gium was going to do next.

IF BACK HURTS
BEGINON SALTS
Flush your kidneys occa
sionally if you eat meat
regularly.
fwP I
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which clogs the kid
ney pores so they sluggishly filter
or strain only part of the waste and
poisons frbm the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness,
constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come frontxslug
gish kidneys. ,
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts, or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular fit passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding,
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of cranes and lemon imVi
combjned with lithia and has beenyf
used for generations to flusnj
clogged kidneys and stimulate J&em
to activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus endings bladder dis
orders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoid
ing serious kidney omphcatue
