IN HAWAII
Sugar Expert Who
Has Made a
/ Name.

Henry studnic2ka of st. Louis, Mo,
who has twenty years of practical eX-
perience in the erection Of sugar re-
fneries and the production, manufac-
ture and rer".ng of sugar, arrived in
Honolulu on the Ventura to spend sew
eral weeks in the Islands collecting
statistics and charging his information
as to the cane product. Mr.. Studniczkd
is recognized expert on sugar produc-
ton and refining and came to the Unit
ed States from Germany TO become the
manager Of the great st. Louis sugar
refinery. He will make an inspection OF
Waialua, Eva, Oahu and Honolulu
plantations next week. Mr.. Studniczka
is held in great esteem as an expert
among planters, refiners, machinery
builders and merchants of the sugar
producing section of the United States,
including Cuba, on account of his scien-
tific knowledge and his long and varied
experience in all branches of this in
dustry.
: During the fight for Hawaiian annex
alton before Congress in 1S97-1S9S, Mr..
StudnicZka was one OF the earnest ad-
vocates of the plan and wrote many
articles upon the ACCESSIBILITY of So do
ing. giving his expert opinion from the
sugar standpoint that the annexation
of Hawaii with its production of sugar
could not hurt the beet sugar industry
Of the United States. His articles upon
sugar and annexation were printed in
the Washington Star and favorably
commented upon. Mr.. Studniczka had
the endorsement of Governor McEnery
of Louisiana, Senator Morgan of Ala
bama and Duncan r. Kenner, President
Of the Sugar Planters Association.
| This year Mr.. Studniczka, at the re-
quest of the Superintendent of Schools
of ST. Louis, addressed a gathering of
1900 teachers to give them instruction
in the manner in which sugar was de-
rived. The experiment of giving such
instruction met with instant favor and
his address was widely published.
Speaking with reference to his public
utterances Mr.. Studniczka said yester-
day to an Advertiser reporter:
"Manifestly the thing for the sugar
producing sections is to scatter broad
cast scientific information. While the
per capita consumption in this country
and abroad is rapidly increasing, yet
the world could consume still greater
quantities of sugar, and would do so
doubtless, If the full virtue Of sugar as
a nutritious and strength giving food
were more generally appreciated.
philosophers have said: Tell us the
surroundings of a race, tell us theil
food, and we will tell you the nature o.
that race; we will give you their physi
cal and mental status Al through tn,
line of human progress you can trace
the influence of food on men and wo
r-en; in their savage barbarous, civil
lied and enlightened condition. People
who live on heterogeneous diet, diFe
from those who live in hydro -carbOns
But on this subject alone, l could writ,
another lengthy paper, so let me stat,
only that we, in the United States con
sumo about sixty pounds of sugar pc
capita. or almost double as much a
any other nation, and three times a
much as many of them. And 1t is no
surprising that with this addition t.
our other excellent food, we produce III
most Industrious energetic, persever
ing and enduring people of the world
and the finest women of the globe
