HER ONLY TERROR.
How Martha Dobbins Bounder's Mood
Changed with the Scene.


There was an expectant hush among
the assembled women as Martha Dob
bins Bounder took the floor ar the rcC-l-
lar weekly meeting Of the Equal Rights
club. She was the fair but fearless
Moses who was TO lead woman into the
promised land, where woman could vote
early and often. She had a martial air,
an eye like an eagles, . nose ike Ma
poleon Bonaparte's and a rich gown
that fitted her buxom figure like glove.
Undaunted she bore the critical gaze Of
!, 900 eyes. She seemed courage persona
fed.

"Men say women cannot bear arms

GERMANY,s SUGAR BOUNTY.

Consul General Mason Reports as to It's
Practical Working.
Frank Mason, United States consul
general at Frankfort, has taken advant-
age of the fact that the new German
sugar tax went into effect June L TO
make a special report to the State De
partment upon the whole subject OF
sugar export bounties, pointing out the
practical working of the bounty system
in Germany, where it originated, and
quoting statistics comparing the sugar
industry in France and Germany. He
says they saw that the German
sugar producers are safe from Euro
pean competition, and do not need the
increased export bounty, but nothing
could withstand the agrarian demands.
Their victory was one Of the most sig
nificent events in recent German legis-
lation. The new law cannot fail to in
crease Germany's sugar product, and
thereby exert a more or less tangible
effect on the general market.-Ameri-

What Is
PURIFINE?

It is the new disinfectant which
has superseded all other disinfect-
ants, being q scientific compound,
having no odor, yet possessing the
qualities of powerful disinfectant.
The automatic distributor should
be placed in every house in Homo
lulu where doors and germs Of dis
ease exist. They are placed free
of charge, taken care of and kept
working day and night for $1.O0
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles. and ap-
peals to everyone of common sense.
The idea Is this: The distributor
drops two drops minute, day and
night. Foul odors are killed, yet
no disagreeable smell Of carbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
it's place You don't know that a
powerful disinfectant Is being used
If you judge by the lack of odor.
But it's doing the duty-doing 1t
well. Can we show you the Ideal
