No less an authority than the SUI
preme Court of the State of New York
has decided that "a Board of Health
is final authority in certain instances
regarding the fitness of dwellings for
occupancy This ruling from across
an ocean and a continent is most i'm
teresting as an endorsement of the
course of the Hawaiian Board of
Health and the Government itself dur
ing threat or invasion of disease in the
Islands. In recent years only it has
come to be recognized that health or
sanitary considerations are well-nigh
paramount.

stopped off in Honolulu, on account
of his health. Mr.. Dargaville is suffer-

TRY US ONCE.

There are all kinds of groceries and
many ways of buying them We think
our way is the best because it enables
us to sell cheap.
We have resident partner in San
Francisco whose business is to watch
the market. He deals only with the
agents of the manufacturers and saves
us-and you-one profit. A trial order
would convince you of this fact.
We sell you today the best quality
of goods for less money than you pay
for inferior goods elsewhere. This is
a common remark among grocers and
don't always mean much.
With us it meaps all that the term
implies. Try us with an order.

Even in far-off Hawaii there will
be the deepest regrets on account of
the death of the brilliant and gentle
Du Maurier. In him were combined
the stalwart qualities of modern man
of letters and art and of such high
order was his ability that much of his
work will long survive him. There is
unutterable pathos in his remark that
his popularity, coming so late in life,
after years of severest struggle, was
the death of him.

Spain has for some months been
preparing to make a supreme and
final effort in Cuba. The day for the
attempt to strike last and effective
blow is fast approaching. The end is
almost in view. 1t seems more than
likely that few weeks will tell the
story, and it seems foregone conclu-
sion that Spain will not triumph. The
insurgents will win and will then
fight more fiercely than ever over the
spoils.

Capt. Chas. Nelson is far enough
from the States and long enough from
the maddening crowd to view coolly

conclusions of man who has care
fully and impartially surveyed the
struggle and who talks without pre-
judice.

FRESH FRUIT

Is scarce between seasons and
often unattainable, but the
canned goods people have so
perfected the process of put
ting up their ware as to make
it almost impossible to tell the
fresh from the preserved.
EvapOrated Fruits
are especially good for cooking
or pies. A peach roley-poley
made of evaporated fruits is
equal to the fresh article.
Other fruits can be made up
into other delicacies. We
have CHERRIES, APRICoTs, AP-
PIES, PITTED PLUMs, and QUAR-
TERED PEARS, and they are of a
superior grade.
Canned and Bottled
Fruits sold by us are delicious.
The public has learned this
and come to us when they
wish superior goods at low
prices.
Down East People
Know good things when they
taste them. That's why they
invented CLAM CHowDER. The
brand we sell cannot be detect
ed from chowder made from
fresh CLAIMS. 1t has been
served as such. and people who
ate it and-where ignorance is
bliss it's folly to pay a high
price for CLAIMS.
