The report of three physi-
clans connected with the Board
of Health on the condition of

Honolulu drink is valuable, if
for no other reason, that it

sary arrangements for cemetery

If the citizen who prefers
life to uncertainties, the incon-
venience and bother of treat
ing Bright's disease or fever

investment in the proper sort
Of filter. We have one made
of natural stone, the water be-
ing filtered through a cylin-
drical disc. This disc is easily
removed for cleansing and may
be made perfectly clean by a
moments brushing.
The filter has not been
named yet, but another, iden-
tical in shape and manufacture
is called the Success. Ours is
just as good without a name
and costs a dollar less. You
see, the name amounts to
something. We have also a
stock of the Quincy improved
refrigerators and ice boxes,
some Of which have water
tanks and taps, in which filter
ed water may be kept cool.

portation Of California wines in
competition with the more fiery
liquids, and for adjusting matters
of the treasury to the change in
revenue receipts liable to be eff.
fected by that policy. Nothing
has been said in the Legislature
about the scandalous printing job
connected with the issue of the
Commissions report. Instead of
having it printed in the regulation

and seasonal reports-the most
convenient for preserving either
separately or bound up, as many
persons have adopted the practice
of having done, with other reports
the report of the Commission was
printed in bill form and only the
usual edition of fifty copies for
members of the Legislature
issued. The cost of this cumber-
some, announcement and inadequate
issue of the document was at least
SITS, as against S95 that the issue
of $50 copies would have cost in
the regulation form of public re-
ports. 1t was a disgraceful job,
pure and simple, for the
benefit of one of the pap.fed print
ing offices. AS this paper
suggested, the way to
effect reform in the regulation
of the drink traffic is to bring
public opinion, step by step, up to
standard where it will be cap
able of having enacted and en-
forced measures that will reduce
the generally acknowledged abuses
and evils of the busin sss to
minimum if the vanishing point
be, as many thoughtful minds in
many countries believe, unattain-

An entirely new factor in the
refunding question was sprung
upon the Senate this morning, and
is so important as to
have determined the Ex-
ecutive to extend the time of the
session. The new factor is pro-
position from foreign capitalists to
take up the existing national debt
bearing six per cent interest in
the main upon terms that will re.
duce the annual interest by
one and ffty-three- hundredths
per cent. 1t is a proposition of
great moment not only in the
saving to be made through re-
funding, but in its opening the
way for securing future loans up
on even more favorable terms for
developing the resources of the
country. Neither time nor space
admits of more present comment.

Timely Topics

Sugar planters know more
ways of getting rich than
holding down their taxes. AS
was stated to the writer by an
intelligent observer the other
day: e" 1t takes as much care
and vigilance to run a planta-
ton and mill as to run an
ocean steamship. Every little
detail, every screwhead and
bolt, has to be inspected to
see that nothing goes wrong
In the matter of saving waste
and expenses, which is half the
battle for profits, the planters
of these islands have made an
enviable record.

tions which go to the construction Of u

should be allowed tolerably free hand

The most peculiarly afflicted person
in the world perhaps is Mrs. lsadore

eyesight and burning off her hair aud

she recovered in short while and was
soon able to walk about. The lacerated
ear healed readily, and the scalp was

poses, is gone forever. Strange as it
may seem. there are brief intervals
when she can sec as plainly as she ever
could in her life, bat this short respite
from weeks and months Of total dark
ness is only during the progress OF terrific

still short and very stiff, stand perfect

A Cello with . History.

Signor Patti has magnificent
"Strad" cello Of date 1920. 1t Is known
as the "red cello" because Of the very
rich red tint Of its varnish. This. too,
is an instrument with a history-a his
tory which the signor has courteously
sent from the shores Of the lake OF
Como. The instrument was first brought
to England by Spanish wine merchant,
who placed it for sale with Regent
street dealer, asking ESQ for 1t. For a
long time it failed to find purchaser
even at that low figure. When Patti
first saw it, it was in the hands OF a
professional musician named Pigott IN
Dublin. The eminent virtuoso ut once
recognized in it o magnificent instru-
ment and accordingly he kept his eye
ON it," When Pigott died. he was un
fortunately unable to purchase it, but he
brought it to the notice Of o dealer,
who secured it for $500. 1t was shortly
afterward sold to General Oliver for
$3.50, and the general, being friend OF
Patti, ultimately presented the cello
to him, with the remark, II always in
tended it for you.
When vuillaume saw it some years
afterward he offered $500 for il, and
the experts now believe that II put into
the market today it would bring near

understood, takes precious care OF his
possession. He never runs the risk OF
carrying it ont Of London and has it

GRASS AS ALeAolNe FODDER CROP.


Professor Sanborn, in arguing for =
rotation Of fodder crops as the greater
farm economy, admits that pound OF
nutrition In grass costs less than in
other crops. But he goes on TO s'y that
IA New England farmer who has based
his observations on hay, and built on
this foundation. averages but the merest
fraction over a ton TO the acre. And
be puts this down as 1.-THE zenith OF his
results by this system"
Now, we submit that such repre-
sentation is hardly fair TO the grass
crop. The ton 10 the acre grass pro-
duction is the result Of the let's alone sys-
TEN, and can hardly be set down as farm
ing for the grass crop; while the rota-
ton he advocates, and which, II inte!li-
gently conducted, will result in more
stock food to the acre than the ton OF
hay named, is an up-snd-at-it system OF
work. The two methods can hardly be
set down in comparison, and certainly II
il unfair to place the results Of the activ-
ity, enterprise and good judgment re-
ouired on the one hand in comparison
With the neglect, Indifference and in-
action on the other, and then credit the
kind and bounty Of the crops rs the
reason of the results. There can never
be any question but land persistently
and intelligently worked will produce
more stock food than land let alone.
Passing bv for the moment the ad-
yantages Of rotation, we claim that fire.
quent working of the soil, with fertiliza-
tion required and usually given in sys-
TEN Of rotation Of crops, II applied TO
grass will easily result in production
OF much more than ton to the acre OF
hay. And we claim further, that under
this more intensive work hay would still
maintain its place as the lower cost fod-
der. We are aware that data on frequent
working Of the soil aud intensive culture
for the grass crop are not plenty, and
that few farmers have yet learned what
can be done with the crop under such
system, yet the experience we have con-
firms the claims we make. The great
economy Of the grass crop Is not gener-
ally appreciated, nor IL the extent To
hich it can be carried generally real
lied.
The theory Of rotation Of crops We
agree with, and know full well that It Is
borne out Ia practice. AT the same time
we raise the question whether it Is not
applicable with equal force in the pro-
duction of clover and the grasses, as
With a wider variety Of fodder crops.
Our experience has led US to higher
appreciation of hay as an economical
fodder crop, not only when grown under
ordinary methods, but also when given
