In a climate like this,
where summer reignS twelve
months in the calendar year
and thirteen during the dry
season, there are two articles
that are at once useful. A
refrigerator and an ice cream
freezer.
In the selection of either a
certain amount of care must
be exercised in order to keep
from being gulied. A good
plan is to take the record of
a refrigerator, learn what
| your friends who are using
it think about it. See if there
is economy of ice and beauty
in the appearance of it and
then learn about the parts
that are necessary to be
cleaned. Find out these
things and then buy your
refrigerator. We may be able
to assist you a little, because
we have made refrigerators
a study. In all of our look
ing around we found nothing
to equal the Improved Cur
ney; remember we say i'm
proved, and it embodies
every point we have men
toned. 1t is economical of
ice and we will prove this
by having a test With any
other dealer selling refrigera-
tors for any donation to a
charitable institution that
may be agreed upon. 1t isl
the easiest cleaned, every
part being SO arranged that
it may be taken out and
washed. 1t is lined with |
wool, the best
non = conductor of heat |
known. They are made of |
hard wood and handsome
ly carved and polished.
These refrigeratorS are
than common refri-
gerator for two reasons: they
don't cost SO much money
and they will last longer.
We have all sizes and |
styles.

About one hundred and fifty people

Mr.. Brine prefaced his lecture by

FILTERS.

The report of the eXecu-
tive officer of the Board of
Health relative to the
condition of the Nuuanu
reservoirs is suggestive Of
something dangerous to
health. 1t also suggests fill
tiers, good filters, something
that will effectually separate
the water from mud and filth.
Nature has done much
toward providing the people
with neceSSarieS; it has also
done a little toward securing
for the people, luXurieS In
some localities a filter is a
luxury, in others, Honolulu
for instance, it is a necessity,
but the natural filters that are
sold have been much i'm
proved by the ingenuity of
man.

the most thorough purifying
agent known, consequently

we are the agents for this

Right back of the house where Towser
