Drought ID Hawaii il

Honolulu, Saturday. The drought in Ha
makna and Kohaia cont nues, though hopes
are entertained that it will be broken soon.
There have been slight showers within the
last week. In Hamakua the drought has
been so severe tnst all cane which vas large
enough to yield any sugar has been cut and
ground in order to save it. This will ser.
iously affect next years crop. No planting
has been done. In Kohaia the drought has
also made necessary the grinding of good
deal of cane from three to six months aht I'D
of the usual time. In Hamakus distress is
prevalent. The people have been unable
to raise anything to eat or to sell. Even
bananas, which usually grow under The most
adverse circumstances, have been eaten by
the birds before they had even begun to
ripen Water for drinking and domestic
purposes has to be hauled by wagon or car
ried on pack animals for distances ranging
from six to twenty miles. AS result Of
these abnormal conditions, many cases Of
typhoid and similar diseases have appeared.
On the ranches cattle are dying BY the
hundreds for want of water. All stock that
could be driven elsewhere has now been
sent away.
The forest fires have added to the diff.
culties of the situation. The planters and
ranchmen have not only had to fight the
fire to keep it from spreading to cane lands
andgrasing lands, but to preserve the forests
themselves, which are looked to as an in.
dispensable factor in the water supply OF
the future. The method of fighting the fire
has been to dig trenches for miles around
the part of the forest in which the fire was
burning and then to keep up constant
patrol to prevent the spread Of fire across
these trenches. Except when there was q
strong wind the fire has in the main spread
by the burning of roots underground, and
of the soil itself, which is largely composed
OF vegetable mould.
Central Maui has also been suffering
from drought, though not as severe as that
on Hawaii. Cant field fires bave broken out
on the plantations, though they have been

vinoI Makes It.
POOR BLOOD CAUSES ERUP-
TlONS AND WEAKNESS.
vinol Makes Pure, Rich,
Red Blood.
BECAUSE We KNOWN THIS
We GUARANTEE ITS ACTION.

Impoverished blood is sure sign of
too many people whose faces plainly
show that there is something radically
wrong.
We want all of our fellow-citizens to
know of our splendid blood purifier
and blood maker.
We refer to Vinol.
Vinol, as we have before stated, is a
purely scientific preparation.
Vinol owes it's virtue to the fact that
it contains in highly concentrated
state the active curative principles,
taken from the livers of live cods-the
same elements that formerly were
found in cod-liver oil, and which made
it famous.
Vinol does not contain the grease or
fat that characterized cod-liver oil and
made it in many cases worthless.
Vinol acts upon every one of the
great vital organs, and by invigorat-
ing and giving them strength, enables
them to properly perform their func-
tions.
Vinol's effect on the stomach is mar
velous. Il tones up this, the greatest
of the organs Of the body, and enables
it to obtain from the food which is
taken into it the necessary elements to
create flesh and muscle tissue, bone
structure and pure, rich, red blood.
We are in receipt of letter from .
savation Army woman which seads as
follows:
~ took vinol after bad attack of
grippe, and SO much good did it do mo
that persuaded my sister to take it.
She was all tired out. Had no appe-
lite and her blood was very poor. 1t
did her as much good as it did me."-
BETSY HABERsHAw, 71s River St., Fall
River, Mass.
Won't you please come in and
see us? We are always glad to
extol the merits Of Vinol.
We will give you back your
lmoney if you don't find Vinol
will do all we claim it will. Could
lany one do more for you?

Literary Larceny.

Senator Vest appears to have been at
his best in his speech against the sub
sidy bill. He was eloquent, as well as
logical in his denunciation of the princi-
pie on which the bill is based, and he
closed with quotation from Tennyson
which he rather thought prophetic of
the fate of subsidy grabbers:
The wind blew east and the wind blew west,
And the blue eggs in the robins nest
Will soon have wings and beak and breast
And dutter and fly away.
Boston Herald.
1t was not surprising after Senator
Vests TRADE against New England that
he should give the English poet laureate
credit for Longfellow's beautiful stanza,
but why should the Boston Herald give
currency to such literary larceny?
