How to Care For Food.

Every article Of food should be cover
cd until it appears on the table. Milk
and butter should be kept in alright
vessels and kept covered. They both
take up every odor flying III the air and
are positively harmful to take into the
stomach after standing uncovered for
an hour or two, for not only odors, but
the animalculae that fill the air, are at
tracted to milk and butter. Uncovered
Jelly is a menace to family health. It is
IN gelatin jelly that expert bacteriolo-
gists imprison germs of disease to watch
them propagate. They seem TO thrive
better on that kind Of food than any
other, yet in two-thirds of the pantries
in the city will be found half used
dishes or glasses of jelly standing I'M

when a few brave souls tried to work

example induce their sisters to discard
the long, dragging skirts, and to wear
short ones, supplemented with full Turk

gowns They realized what a leaden
weight women had, with their skirts, at
the behestof fashion, dragging from their

Electric Lights for q Cts a Month.

Honolulu uses the electric current for
lighting purposes more generally than do
most American cities of its population.
The reasons are found partially in the eli
mate conditions which urge the
adoption of light unaccompauied by
heat or an offensive odor. Furthermore,
no gas company has found our city an
inviting field for investment chiefly be-
cause of its scattered condition and the
consequent large cost of reaching
consumers; and electricity has thus met
no competitor except the origina! oil
lamp and the tallow candle. A third
cause we believe to be largely the fact
that when electric lighting was first in
troduced by the Government, it was
offered to consumers on basis of rates,
which in many cases OF commercial
lighting and especially for night light
ing, considerably discounted the cost of
oil for the same amount of illumination.
The demand thus created soon reached
the limit of that Government supply.
Today the Hawaiian Electric Company
possesses working capacity equal TO
more than three times the present COM
bined incandescent output OF the Gov
eminent service together with our own
We offer lighting at the Government
fiat rates as follows:
Stores and Offices Per is c. p. light per
month S1.00
Residences per Is c. p. light per
month-to lights 90cts.
Residences per IS c. p. light per
month-excess OF lights 60cts.
We do much better than this for our
consumers. We place lights in every
nook and corner Of your premises If you
wish, measure the light you use, and
charge for actual consumption only.
You use light when and where you
need it md you don't forget 10 shut It of
when that need is satisfied nor do YOU
feel bound 10 keep the lights going from
dusk till dawn IN order 70 secure the
value o. g stipulated bill. We in turn
know exactly what We have delivered to
YOU and can figure with certainty upon q
definite and rock bottom basis.
The cost OF q 10 @. p light per hour IS
III 10 IL cents, varying with the
efficiency OF the lamp.
The probable cost to you per month is
clearly indicated by the following
analysis OF total charges made for resi-
deuce lighting during June. Average
number OF lights per consumer, June 30,
%; average amount paid for months
lighting per consumer 81 81 average cost
per light for the month 2lcts. In view
of these prices and the positive advan-
tages OF safety, convenience. simplicity
and comfort, you can i'll afford to use
candles or oil. We furnish fittings and
wiring Of only the best grades and for
obvious advantages AT the lowest reason
