Mr.. Ep1roR Permit me, through your col
umus t. call attention 10 the dangers attending
the pr",-nt .5hion of wearing colored stockings
And when l speak of danger, L do not refer TO
the risks attendant upou the lack of knowledge
of what is becoming ia color 10 the various Styles

tend tins homuy for those Of my own that rs, the

What / would call attention to Is the risk run OF
fatal poisoning from the dyes with which the
bright hued stockings and socks of the pel"d
are colored. Aud / would remark right here,
that even amongst those colors and shades that
are warranted-and are To all intents aud pur-
poses " fast, some will come off. The very
best grade of goods gives of some color when

say they do not" So SAYS "A prominent dealer
who has t~hirty-six shades Of color IA stockings
in his store. This being SO, we can appreciate
the risk run il we stop TO reflect for "a moment
how powerfully Tie system ls Affected by hedi-
cants applied To the feet. "A foot BATH " ~
recommended in n great variety of complaints,
and II is IA common saying that If the feet are
comfortable the whole body il so. Fancy then
the effect produced on the system by enyelopIng
the feet in socks dyed ia green, we will say. and
then packing them INTO boots and keeping them
pcrSpiring all day with the labor Of supporting
us MS we walk. If We chance 10 have n bruised
place on our feet, or n small bit of skin rubbed
OF, the poison is pretty sure to get into the blood
and then produce serious results. Black stock
ings are equally as bad, il being almost impossi-
bic to get Il black dye that will not come off on
the feet the first time the stockings are worn.
This last hint is thrown out for the benefit Of
the geutler sex with whom +" hose of inky hue "
are becoming very fashionable. To them, and
III fact To ali, / would say, ." If the dye is pois-
onous, look out p and, further, all shades of
green and all blacks are poisonous.

Mr.. EDIToR:-ln your issue of the 10th. you
make mention OF the "diatory manner in which
the fire department turned out on Saturday last,
when the fire alarm was sounded in such u
manner as would lead some persons (strangers at
least) To believe that the fremen themselves are
''dilatory' and did not exert proper speed aud
effort on thar occasion.
Some OF the companies may have been some
whit tardy; but not TO exceed twelve minutes
had elapsed after the first tap Of the bell before
Honolulu Engine Co No. l was on lie ground.
bad connections ali made, and the hose in the
the house where the fire was. or had been, ready
for action, in case their services were needed.
| am an old fireman Of over 25 years service.
and consider that about as good time and work
as could be reasonably expected under the cir
cumstances.
Please give the boys a show" Tor you will
always find them too ready and willing to answer
the call uf either duty or danger. when the fire.
fend threatens either your home. store or work
shop.
We gladly render our services gratuitously.
and hope that on all occasions We may so work
and act as to meet with the hearty approval Of
those whom we endeavor to benefit. Ia behalf
of the fireman. am. yours truly.
