Relief and cure have come at last
Melbourne has put 1t to the test.
Doan's Ointment cures every form

People at home are learning that this
Is so.
Here Is proof in q statement:
Mr.. William Preston has been .esi

many of our readers. Mr.. Preston
ut present residing at No. 6S Argyle
St., st. Kilda- He says: For some
considerable time I have been trou-
bled with Eczema on my legs. The
irritation at times was very great es
pecially at night, and it caused me
considerable annoyance. I obtained
pot Of Doan's Ointment and I must
say that It allayed the irritation almost

Mr.. Eckhardt has been experiment
ing with the Mauritius bean vine as a
product for producing fertilizer for cane
fields A year ago a plot of ground in
corner of the grounds near Wilder
avenue was set apart for experiment
ing with the vine. 1t grew well and
soon spread all over the plot. The
leaves are of rich, clear green, and
even during the drouth, the green hue
never altered. 1t is proposed to plough
the vines into the ground. and as the
growth contains much nitrogen, 1t is
expected the ground fertilized by the
vines will be rich and capable of de-
veloping a hardy variety of cane.
a deep trench Is being dug in the
lower part of the grounds and all the
cane trash dumped into 1t. In a short
time a great bonfire will be started
there. Mr.. Eckhardt has endeavored
in many ways to rid the station of the
accumulation of trash but was unable
to find any one who wanted it. AS a
surface fire would prove a source OF
danger to surrounding property the pit
method was adopted.

JAVA PURPLE SUGAR CANE
IS A FAILURE IN HAWAII

II Is practically conceded by Mr.
Eckhardt. director Of the Experiment
Station Of the Planters Association,
in Makiki, that the Java 4urple sugar
cane is a failure In this country. Sew
eral experiments have been tried with
this importation, several rows of which
are growing in front OF the directors s
Office of the grounds at Makiki and
upon the completion of its growth the
variety will be eliminated from further
experiments. The cane has an irreg-
ular growth in :.s se> tons which are
short and 1t Is therefore hard to grind.
Furthermore the varieties being expert
! mented with have attracted a fungus
growth.
| One of the principal experiments to
be tried in the future at the experiment
station Is that of attempting to shorten
| the periods of growth foI the cane. Al
present crops are generally taken off
on the plantations every eighteen
months. In other countries the growth
is generally attained and the crop taxi
en- off in twelve months. This natural
ly accomplishes big saving in the cost
of production, giving three crops in
thirty-six months instead of two. Mr..
Eckhardt intends to study this prob
lem, and the results will be looked for
ward to with considerable interest by
the planters.
In the station are varieties of
Queensland cane which are doing re-
markably well. Several rows, which
have attained n height of about three
feet, were planted last August. This

Pilots Exclusive Club.

The Sandy Hook Pilots club is not
in the social register, yet it is the most
exclusive club in New York. You
might apply for admission to member
ship now, but you wouldn't get in TO
ten or twelve years-and you would be
more fortunate than some present
members if you got in even then. For.
unlike the Authors club which is not
all author, or the Golf club, which is
not entirely golfer, or the athletic club
which is not wholly athlete, the Pilot
club is all pilot. And to be pilot you
must serve. first, two years before the
mast, then six years as an apprentice
on pilot boat, then one or two years
as pilot. So that. usually twelve years
pass before pilot gets full license.

Virginia has a state constitutional

The present constitution of Virginia
recognizes religion by describing it "a

this duty, it says. should be "directei
only by reason and conviction, not by
force and violence" Therefore, all
