he will greet the arrival of his moth

proportions about Hilo. 1t is cleaning
out the vegetable gardens with a thor
oughness that is alarming. Grape

TURN ON THE X-RAYS,

This is an age of light. In utter
defiance of the messy old theories
we now photograph the coins inside
of a pocketbook and the bones in
living bodies. Similarly the light of
intelligence shines upon certain anti
quated notions in medicine. The in
tellectual X-Rays have shown the
fallacy of the idea that sick people
had no alternative but to take nau..
seating doses of cod liver oil-or die.

MINISTER HOSHI ON THE TARIFF.

MINISTER HOSHI ON THE TARIFF,
The Tokyo chamber of commerce
has received from the Japanese minis
ter to the United States, reply to its
telegram concerning the tariff act. In
the course of the reply the Minister
says:
San increased tariff was affirmed al
most simultaneously with the victory
of the Republicans at the election of
the new President in November last.
Conferences have been frequently
held by the Republican party since
that time with regard to the tariff
question, and / have from the outset
requested the authorities not to levy
heavy taxes upon the imports from
Japan. Moreover, after Congress met
in special session, l openly approach
ed the United States Government on
the subject, and presented a memo
rial to both houses, pointing out the
gross injustice that the revised tariff
would intlict upon Japan; also init
mating that should the tariff be en-
acted, not only would it iniuriously
influence Japan's commerce with
America, but it would also bring
about lamentable consequences in the
friendly relations of the two coun-
tries. In fact, | did all in my power
toward effecting the curtailment of
the tariff

Increased Everything Except Expens

The Annual Statement of the Equi-
table Life Assurance Society of the Unit
ed States, published today, forms an ex-
hibit of prosperity and strength I'M
equalled in tie history of life assur-
ance. Notwithstanding the hard times,
this company has lowered it's rate Of ex-
penses and increased its business in
every essential way. The keynote OF
prosperity in a life assurance company,
as we'll as in every other enterprise. is the
urplus earned. The Equitable, after
paying to its policy-holders during the
year in various ways, nearly twenty-five
million dollars, has increased is assetts
from two hundred and one million dol
lars, to over two hundred and sixteen mil
lion dollars, of which over forty three
million dollars is surplus. No institu-
ton of the kind in existence has a sur
plus at all approaching this amount al
though some have greater liabilities. AS
life assurance contracts have the pecu-
liarity of running for many years into
the future, strength and conservative
management are of greater Importance
than any ouher features, and in these re-
spects the Equitable stands pre- eminent.
