that may be, the company intends to
lose no opportunity to secure a greater
demand for their goods among the con-
sumers. They will cook and serve free
with cream and sugar at their booth
their various breakfast fiakes-rolled
wheat flakes, corn flour, pancake flour,
buckwheat flour, and pearled barley
Handsome young ladies will have
charge of the serving, and will also give
out the half-pOund packages containing
samples of Eli Pettijohn'S Best Break
fast Foods. The company provide their
own cook for the occasion. The Petit
john company have made quite a depar-
ture from the old methods of preparing
cereals previous to cooking, by simply
using common sense. They decided that
the stomach IS not threshing machine
and cannot digest everything without a
little help, so they tender their assist
ance. In the preparation of the wheat
flakes, for instance, the hull, which they
say, contains no more nutriment than
an egg-shell, is removed by special ma
chinery which they control, leaving all
the nutriment in compact form These
hulled kernels are then thoroughly
cooked in a vacuum, retaining all their
natural nutriment and flavor The
and thoroughly kiln dried to prevent
Souring or fermentation. These pro-
ceSSes prepare the grain for easy diges-
ton, and, containing s it does then only
the nutritive portions, it is easily as
simulated into the blood to build up the

SELLERS OF SALT.
The Hutchinson Packing Company
Manufacture a Splendid Salt.

The Hutchinson Packing Coo Hutch
inson, Kansas, have splendid display
of salt at the Pure Food Show. Mr.. w.
H. Underwood, the manager or the COM
Dany was present to oversee the prep
ara ton of their booth in person. They
have 100 square feet on the second floor,
al the west end of the middle tier OF
booths, and have arranged the booth in
a very striking manner-the only colorS
used in the whole exhibit being black,
white and yellow. These are the colors
also conspicuous on the innumera bic
packages of their ''Sunf1ower' brand of
salt which make up the display. In the
center of the booth looms up an inn
mense box, or package, OF salt probably
six feet high. Around the booth are
neatly arranged the various sized pack
ages of Perfection" table salt. The
company will give away as samples To-
900 Cor more if necessary one-and-one-
half ounce packages of their "Perfec-
ton table salt. They are confident OF
proving to the people that they have
superior line of salt. To a large num-
Der of people, salt is salt. and no furth-
er explanation is necessary, but all will
admit that some conditions, at least,
are prefera BILE to others The manner
of manufacturing salt employed by the
Hutchinson Packing Co is unique, only
one other company in the country using
the method, that other company being
located at Detroit. The patent for this
method is controlled entirely by the
Hutchinson Packing Co. for the dlS-
trict west of the Mississippi river. The
popularity of this method is the appli-
cation of heat to the salt pans under at
mospherical conditions, which the com
pany create themselves to procure the
best results from the process of the
evaporation of the moisture All salt

notice:

A TRYING POSITION.

The Colonist of Victoria, B. c. -,
discusses the annexation question
somewhat fully, and says that, as
far as the people of Canada are
concerned, they would prefer to
see the United States acquire the
islands in preference to any other
power except Great Britain" and
then adds that Great Britain was
not disposed to NEEDLE in the
matter.
The Colonist points out, however,
that the position between Japan and
the United States is trying one.
If the Senate should refuse to ratify
the treaty, Japan will undoubtedly
assume that it is master of the stu
alton, and that the refusal to ratify
is due to the Japanese protest. 1t
will hardly be a satisfactory thing
for the citizens of the United States
to hear that their Senators acted at
the dictation of Asiatic power-that
they were practically under the
thumbs of the little brown men.

The accounts of rain from all
parts of the islands are most en-
couraging. Talking with people
interested in cane and coffee, it is
found that the drought has not
done the damage that the prophets
forecast. The rain, with our pro-
verbal luck, came just when it was
wanted, and managers smile pleas
antly over next seasons prospects.
A threatening of drought does good
in one way it makes plantation
owners prepare to meet such con-
tingencies, and pumping-plants and
reservoirs have been established in
many places which will render them
capable of meeting similar state OF
affairs without the slightest anxiety.
Thus, out of evil comes some good.

every i'll that Latin republics seem
to be heirs to.
First consolidation or confedera-
ton took place between Honduras,
Nicaragua and San Salvador and
now Costa RIGA and Guatemala
have, through their representatives,
signed treaty of federation which
will have to be ratified in Septem-
Der. The federation is to be known
as the United States Of Central
America.
If anything is ever to be done
for the political advancement of
the Central American States it is
through this means. They are ma
turally wealthy, and only need
intelligent guidance to make them
powerful factor-both politically
and commercially. But the bulk of
the population is intensely ignorant
and very superstitious, and, with
such elements, it is hard to build
up a satisfactory system. The effort
at federation, however, is decided
step in the right direction, and it
will be interesting to watch lis pro-
gress. One has little faith in Latin
republics, especially where the Latin
blood is mixed with and almost OBJ
liberated by the Indian. The ex-
amples of similar republics i'll South
America does not increase ones
faith in them. There is something
which keeps them back and tram
mels the efforts of their best minds
to advance. The only thoroughly
successful South American republic
is Chile, and that went through a
sharp revolution a few years ago,
1t is almost impossible to forecast
what will happen either in Central
or South America-only previous
knowledge leads one to feel sure
that it is the unexpected that will
come to pass, and so there may be
success before the United States oil

ELECTIONS ON HAWAII.

The Hllo papers are busy with
the question Of representatives for
the big island, and one Of them re-
quires a most peculiar brand of
members. 1t says I" Let us make
an endeavor to choose men radical,
yet conservative. Now, if there
can be attributes more opposed than
these, one would like to find them.
Oil and water might be got to mix,
but radicalism and conservatism
never However, the idea of having
men OF Hawaii represent Hawaii is
one which is thoroughly Correct-it
is one which has been advocated by
all who understand the position of
affairs here.
The only man who can adequately
represent the views of a district is
the man who lives in it, and has
his property interests in it. In re-
presenting Hawaii, it is mistake
to take too many men from Hilo.
Not that Hilo is not progressive-it
is; but the needs of Hilo blind Hilo
people to the interests of other parts
of the island. 1t has ever seemed
mistake to represent the island con-
stituencies by Honolulu men. This
used to occur under the monarchy
indeed it was the path Of the
young lawyer to political position
in former time but the islands now
furnish their share of legislators
from among their own people. If
memory serves, all the representa-
tives last year from Hawaii came
from the big island.
1t is a great advantage to the
House to have practical men from
the other islands present. Many
questions come up with which the
Honolulu representative has only
theoretical knowledge, while the
country representative knows, from
practical experience, what he is dis
cussing.
The good representative will be
able to associate general from local
affairs. There is room for legisla-
ton in both directions. There are
large public questions upon which
the legislators will have to stand
shoulder to shoulder and there are
local questions which will require
all the skill of the representative
from the particular district to set
clearly and succinctly before his
colleagues.
Whatever is done is for two years,
and it will require much care and
forethought to make the needful
appropriations and yet practice that
economy which our income de-
mands. With annexation, the
change will not be instantaneous,
and our public works will be carried
on under the appropriations made
by the coming Legislature. The
island of Hawaii, in view of the
great development which is taking
place, will have to be doubly careful
in forecasting her needs. When
once the appropriation bill is passed
1t is then too late to be asking for
governmental aid, which cannot be
given. The Hawaii contingent
should come to Honolulu with a
definite policy, and with the needs
of the various districts carefully
considered. The estimates should
be conservative and not radical,
and here, perhaps, the ''radical-con-
sentative" might get in his work.
But this should be kept in mind.
1t is as dangerous to ask too much
as it is to ask too little.
There seems every indication that
Hawaii will send down a satisfac-
tory delegation, and that it will look
after the interest not only of the
island, but of the islands.
