No cases of plague appeared yester-
cases of sickness. Four clean days
have now elapsed since the last victim
succumbed to the disease. President
Wood of the Board of Health says that
the situation is encouraging and pres

are expected, however, and it is the
opinion of the health authorities that
cases will continue to crop up now
and then in different parts of the city
for some little time to come.

Two Important Contra cts.

A freight contract was signed Satur-
day between the company and the Hilo
Railroad Company, under which the
after company undertakes to establish
railroad communication with Hllo, a
distance of twenty-seven miles, with
in eighteen months; and all freight to
and from the plantation, including
freights TO and from San Francisco, are
20 be carried by the railroad company
at an agreed schedule for n term Of
forty years.
A contract was also concluded on
Saturday by the company with the
Olaa Sugar Company, under which the
Puma company's first crop will be
ground at the Olaa mill, the cane be-
ing transported there by the Hilo Rail
road Company. This relieves the Pu-
ma company from the cost Of mill at
the beginning while, at the same time,
considerably increasing O.aas output
for 1902
Although the railroad company has
eighteen months in which to reach
Puma, 1t Is expected that the connec-
ton will be completed within nine
months, as the rails are already on
hand and the work will be pushed i'm
mediately, now that the grading from
Hilo to Olaa is completed, and the To-
cation OF the terminal division at Hilo
finally approved by the Government.
Captain Spillner, late OF the Mounted
Patrol. has lost his position. The two
watches are now commanded by lieu
tenants. 1t is not yet known who will
be the new captain.

 Cotton has broken in price and may go lever as the time comes for new crop pros- poets to have weight, but the decline of an eighth to a quarter in brown sheetings an~ drills has been largely due to oppor- tunities in the export trade, which have been promptly met.

Pratt City, May 1s.-(Special) )-Active steps are being taken toward the build ing of water works at Pratt City.

With all settled in regard to bonds, etc, 1t is safe to predict that with the progressive spirit always evinced by the mayor and board of aldermen, property values will soon be enhanced by the ad- vantages which water works offer.

QUIT WHITE BREAD.
Could Not Get Strength from It

An Episcopalian minister of Ellenyille, IN. Y, who is interested not only in the spiritual welfare of his congregation, but in their physical well-being also, says: "I can now do an immense amount of work and feel no fatigue, for the reason that l am using Grape-Nuts breakfast food and have quit coffee entirely and am using Postum Food Coffee.
 Myself and family are all greatly inn proved in health. We have largely aban- doned the use of white bread. Upwards of twenty-five persons have changed their diet, on my recommendation. It is gladly given, because l know, from personal eX- perience, whereof l speak
 It is we'll known fact that white bread is almost entirely composed of starch, and this is difficult of digestion by many peo- pie, particularly those who have weak in- testinal digestion. The result of the use of much white bread is a lack of brain and nervous power to do mental work, and it also creates intestinal troubles because the excess of starch ferments in the intes- tines and makes the conditions right for the growth of microbes; whereas Grape Nuts breakfas food contains the needed starch, but in a predigested form. That ise it is transformed into grape sugar in the process of manufacture, and delivered in the packages, ready cooked, and in such shape that it is immediately assimulated without hard work of the digestive or gans.
 The food also contains the delicate par ticles of phosphate of potash which, com bined with albumen is used by nature to make the gray matter that must be in the cells of the brain and the nerve centerS throughout the body, in order to give strength and ability to stand long and continuous work. Both the Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts are sold by all first class grocers.
