in strong contrast with it is a tumble
down fruit stand occupied by a China
man. Rumor had it a few months ago
that a building would be erected to re-
place the shack, but the Chinaman OBJ
jected on the ground that his lease is
for nine years and he intended to hold
on to it. This is rather depressing in
asmuch as the owners were willing to
do something to make the corner pre-
sentable to strangers who visit the
Government buildings. Further west
in the same block are two buildings

hoped that with the changes taking

A NEW NURSERY
Chosen in NUlall Valley Friday
Afternoon.
SURROUNDED BY CIRCULAR BLUFF
Pronounced Best Place in
Nuuanu.
SURROUNDED BY CIRCULAR BLUFF
Work of Putting Up Buildings Will
Begin SOon-Hundreds of
Trees to Be Planted.

The site for the new Government
nursery has been picked out, and now
it remains to be seen how long it will
take the Government carpenter to put
up the buildings necessary for the car
rying on of the work. The site spoken
of is in Nuuanu Valley, just a short
distance from and on the left-hand side
of the road. 1t is also about a half
mile from the head of the valley, bet
ter known as the Pail, and is in a
place convenient of access to anyone
For a more accurate idea as to the To-
cation, reference might be made to the
accompanying diagram, which was OBJ
tained from one of the Government
maps in the Survey Department
through the kindness of Mr.. F. S.
Dodge.
Mr.. Joseph Marsden, Commissioner
of Agriculture, was seen yesterday and
spoke as follows on the subject:
LAS you know, this matter of a new
Government nursery has been in the
wind for quite long while. 1t has been
agitated steadily, and l am glad TO say
that agitation has done it's work sue
cessfully. The prime idea in mind was,

account of the young plants, which
would otherwise suffer from the strong
winds that prevail in Nuuanu Valley.
When the work is fairly under way
trial nurseries will be started in places
all about the nursery in order that a
test of the various plants it is pro-
posed to raise can be made with salts
faction. These will undoubtedly en-
nance greatly the beauty of the place,
and make it we'll worth the while of
visitors and people from the city stop
ping off for few moments while on
their way to the Pail.

Rows of the beautiful hau will be plant
ed soon to form windbrakes for the
new trees as a protection until they
can stand on their own feet or heads.
Among the trees ii is proposed TO plant
will be a lot from Japan. The crpto-
meria japonica, with its majestic head
waving in the breeZes that blow from
the Pail, will be one of the sights OF
the future that will greet the eyes OF
the passers-by."

as much as those mentioned, and it is
probable they will make room for bet

Cataprh to
Consumption

eatarrh invariably leads to consump-
tion. Growing worse and worse each
winter, those who rely upon the usual
treatment Of sprays, washes and inha1-
ing mixtures find that It is impossible
to check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the sur
face. The offensive discharge increases
all the while, and gets deeper until it Is
only a question Of a short time when
the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper treat
ment can therefore be readily appre-
ciatsd. - But no good whatever can be
expected from local applications, as
such treatment never did cure Catarrh,
and never will. Being blood disease
of the most obstinate nature, Swift's
Specific (S.S.S.) is the only remedy
which can have the slightest effect upon
Catarrh. 1t is the only blood remedy
that goes down to the bottom of all stub
born diseases which other remedies
cannot reach.
Mrs. Josephine Polhi1l, of Due West,
S. c., writes:
"I had such a severe case OF
Catarrh that I lost my hearing in one

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-fOur hours: a sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy con-
dition of the Kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Top
frequent desire TO urinate or pain in tire
back is also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT To DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so often
expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root

in relieving pain in the back, kidneys liver,

These who have had the first
touchof Catarrh will save endless suf-
fering by taking the right remedy at the
outset. Others who have for years
sought relief and found only disappoint-

to waste no further time on sprays,

are only temporary, and cannot save
them from dreaded Consumption.

If the atmosphere of cellar or pantry
is not sweet and the refrigerator can
not be thoroughly ventilated. it may
be greatly improved by placing a few
trays of charcoal on the floor and
shelves. The air will soon become pure
and sweet. The temperature of pam
try may be kept very cool by hanging
at the window or door a wet cloth or
sheet
Bacon, joints, OF hams should hang
from hooks driven in the ceiling, rather
than be laid on shelves. Again, where
there is but little or no ice. joints should
be sprinkled with powdered charcoal.
To keep fresh fish in warm weather
it should first be thoroughly cleaned
and dried well inside with a clean linen
cloth, then rubbed internally with good
brown sugar, after which hang it in
well-aired and absolutely dry place.
Wash of the sugar before cooking.
Soups, broths, gravies and soup
stock can often be kept from turning
for two or three days by boiling them
once, or, in great heat, twice day.
OF course many of these precautions
may be entirely dispensed with where
the household boasts a large, we'll
packed refrigerator.
Too many cooks from ignorance, and
their mistresses from carelessness, have
a mistaken idea that a refrigerator is
an excuse for neglecting simple hy-
gienic principles. When meat IS
brought in from the butchers, it should
be well looked over, all Objectionable
little tag ends of fat and bristle should
be removed, and, after sailing, the meat
should be placed at once in the ice chest.
Great care should be taken TO remove
all crumbs and scraps from the shelves
and floor of a pantry, since they attract
insects more than anything else. If
there are windows in the pantry, net
ting should be nailed tightly over them
TO prevent the flies from gaining ac-
cess. The bread box should be well
washed and dried two or three times n
week and placed In the sun. The fresh
loaves should be wrapped in a slightly
dampened linen bread towel, and the
lid of the box left a little open. so that
the fresh air may circulate through it.
All stale crusts and bits of bread should
be placed in a china dish with a cover,
until they are ground into bread
crumbs.-Philadelph Inquirer.
