Supreme Court Sustains the Foot
Eaae Trade. Mark

Justice Laughlfn, in the supreme court,
Buffalo, has ordered permanent injunction,
with costs and full accounting of sales, to
issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manu-
facturer of the foot powder called "Dr.
Clark's Foot Powder" and also against
from making or selling the DIR. Clark's
Foot Powder, which is declared, in the in
junction of the court, an imitation and In
fringement of "Foot-Ease," the powder to
shake into your shoes, now SO largely ad-
yertised and sold over the country. Allen
5. Olmsted, of Leroy, N. Y, is the owner of
the trademark @Foot-Ease," and he is the
first individual who ever advertised foot
powder extensively over the country. The
decision in this case upholds his trademark
and renders all parties liable who fraudu-
lently attempt to profit by the extensive
",Foot-Ease" advertising, in placing upon
the market a spurious and similar appear
ing preparation, labeled and put up in en-
velopes and boxes like foot-Ease. Similar
suits will be brought against others who
are now infringing on the Foot-Ease trade
mark and common law rights.

week One of the petitioners most
anxious to have this increase made
was Motley, leper, who raised taro IN
large quantities, which he sold to the
Board of Health. His reasons We're
quite apparent.
The board agreed with the legislators
that the lepers should occasionally
have mutton to alternate with beef.
The lepers had complained of the
quality Of the beef, claiming that the
methods pursued by the superinten-
dent in keeping cattle confined for a
month in pen wherein they sank to
their bellies in mud, We're such as TO
make the beef poor. The methods of
butchering were also criticised. Mr..
Reynolds denied that the cattle We're
kept at the Settlement for a month,
and said they We're miserably poor
when received.
Gilfillan suggested that the board
bring the cattle to the government
lands near Kawaihae, Hawaii, fatten
and kill them there, shipping the beef
in cold storage to Kalaupapa.
Beckley then made inquiries concern
ing woman named Anna Bridges,
whom he had seen at Kalihi Receiving
Station on Tuesday. She had been de-
clared by the physicians as a 'sus-
pect," whereas ten years ago she was
declared leper and sent to Molokai.
He thought there was an explanation
due from any member of that original
board as to why she should, SO many
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-03-21

that an injustice had been done her,
and there might be many others as
we'll The associations which that
woman had had all these years were
probably such that she was tainted by
contact after being sent to Moloka1.
He asked if there had been any others
so treated. Secretary Wilcox said that
two persons had been removed from
the Settlement after being declared
lepers to be given treatment by DR..
Goto, but had afterwards been return
ed to Kalaupapa. Representative
Beckley asked that the board look into
this woman's history.
The question of the number of horses
which each leper should be allowed to
own, was brought up. Some of the
patients claimed that certain of their
fellows had as many as eight or nine,
while others had none at all, and they
believed the animals should be more
evenly distributed. Superintendent
Reynolds said that no fresh horses
were allowed to be brought to Molokai,
and that if any evening up" was eff
fected, it would have to be done with
the animals already there.
Senator Kanuha presented two bills
to Mr.. Lowrey, the chairman pro tenn,
which had already been introduced into
the Legislature, and on which he de-
sired information from the board. One
related to vaccination. and the other to
the licensing of physicians.
At o'clock Senator Baldwin sug-
gested that an adjournment be taken.
and that the legislators and health
board meet again at an early date. An
arrangement was effected whereby
they meet tomorrow night at 1880
o'clock at the Board of Health office to
continue the discussion.

A. J. Charleston, son Of the super1n- tendent of construction of the Domin- ion telegraph line, has undertaken the contract of walking from Log Cabin to Ashcroft, B. O., for the purpose of inspecting the condition of the line. Stations in some instances on this line, are 60 miles apart but there are relief posts half way between. He expects to make one or the other of these points each night.
 The Ketchikan Journal says that Henry Maitland, an Indian, and ma- son by trade, was drowned last Friday noon 700 yards above the Port Gravina saw mill. He was 27 years old. Malt land, it appears. was out in small boat loaded down with rock, when it capsized and he was drowned before assistance could reach him. The body was found by J. Mather, on the beach, where the tide had left it. Dr. G. Dick inson was sent for and promptly re- sponded, but medical aid was of no avail. It was decided unnecessary to hold an inquest.
 The Skagway Alaskan says that few of the men who went inside to the Mush creek excitement, in the Porcu- pine district, have returned and report that gold is to be found there in con- siderable quantities, at least sufficient to pay wages. None of the men in there have as yet staked any ground as they believe that there is larger pay streak there than has yet been found The men who came out all figure on re- turning in the spring to prospect fur ther. Indications point to rush of considerable dimensions to that part of the country next season.
 The Travellers Guide propounds the following pertinent inquiries: "What are the people of Skagway going to do? Are they going to sit with their thumbs in their mouths and let the town starve out? They have let the White Pass 6 Yukon railroad almost kill it already. Are they going to allow them to finish it? If they are not then they must be up and doing. They must take the Brackett wagon road away from it and open it up for the people at large. The railroad has no more right and title to that road than the Guide has, It has held it because certain members of the Chamber of Resolutions stand in with the company against the interests of the people; against the interest of the town"
 The Ketchikan Journal of the 30th ut. says that grave fears are felt for the safety of MT. J. A. Bradley, Alaska manager of the Keystone Mining com pany, who left here on the morning of the 26th for the company's camp at Smuggler's Cove, about 20 miles from Ketchikan, with the intention of re- turning with some of his men for Thanksgiving. The little steamer Kiln quan was sent in search of him and re- turned on the evening of the 30th, just as the Journal was going to press, bringing MT. Bradley alive and we'll, saving and excepting a bad wound in the leg and cut on the head, sustain ed by his encounter with the rocks at tho north end of Beaton Island in his struggle to reach terra firma, after hay ing struck log by which his boat was stove to pieces fifty yards off from the shore.

CHILDREN IN THE SPRING.
4 Critical Time for Those Who
Have Been Housed Up All
Winter.

Little children should be carefully
watched in the spring. No one is at
the maximum of strength and health
after the long shut-in period of win
ter, and children suffer the most at
this time, because they have less vi
tally to resist the changes of the
weather. A cold at this season is es-
pecially serious, when slight influ-
enza may develop into serious in
flammation of some vital organ. Yet
this is usually the time when people
relax their efforts to keep the house
of an even temperature, because the
weather outside the house has mod
Grated. AS rule, we build our houses
for midsummer, and do not remem-
Der the trying intermediate seasons,
when less heat is needed. No house
should be heated above 6s degrees in
the daytime, and much lower in the
night. It is a good rule to keep q
sick child in temperature of 6S de-
grees night and day, says the New
York Tribune.
The great danger of . cold lies in
~
There is always need Of tonic rem
edies to bring the system back to its
normal. Old women's remedies are
often safer than drugs, which should
be administered by physicians. Meas
les and some other diseases are pre-
coded by cough; therefore a cough
may mean something more serious
than a cold. It is always safe to use
means to excite perspiration. pro-
vided the child is well protected after
ward and kept indoors. A simple rem
edy to break up hoarse cold consists
of teaspoonful Of strip of ipecac,
dissolved in a tumbler of cold water.
A teaspoonful of this mixture should
be given the child once an hour. It
is mild enough to give to child from
one to three years old. If the breath
ing seems hoarse, lay flannel cloths
dipped in camphorated oil and heated
as hot as they can be borne across the
chest and between the shoulders. As
soon as they are removed replace
them with cotton wadding. 1t is worse
than useless to doctor q child's cold
if the child is allowed to run outdoors
or in cold places in the hall and other
parts of the house, as all medicines for
colds open the pores and render the
child when exposed liable to take more
cold. The little one should be kept
until it is well in q room Of even tenn
perature.

the time of its preparation.
Lebedeer's story is that he was out
Of work one day at Koenitz and .
man offered him money to accom-
pany him to a synagogue. There he
saw some masked men. who ordered
him, under pain of death. to kill q
young student who was asleep in the
place, and who had evidently been
drugged. Lebedeer had to do what
he was told. He cut up the body,
and the blood was drained into q
silver basin. When all was over
Lebedeer was paid, and was told that
whenever he wanted assistance he
had only to present a sealed letter
given to him by the masked men to
any Jews whom he should meet. He
used the letter at Breslau and at
Frankfort-on-the-Ma Main, and then en-
tered French territory. Fearing ar
rest he joined the foreign legion.
Lebedeer was condemned by the
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1901-06-08
HERE AND THERE.

Ignorance of bird and insect
life costs the farmers millions Of dol
lars annually. Ignorance of the COM
monest plant and animal diseases
costs many millions more.
The man with "a little money
never had a better chance for invest
ment than right now. In stocks and
bonds? No. In partnership with some
elderly farmer who has good farm
and wants partner to work it.
-"Book-farming" is . term in de-
served disrepute. It does not succeed,
and success is q necessity. But the
trouble often is not with the book,
but with the man who does the farm
ing. He is too purely q theorist.
Raising stock, like every other
business, requires systematic work to
bring success. Periodical changing
from one kind of stock, or one breed
to another, is like selling out and
moving to a new location-involves
beginning anew and giving to the wind
all previous work.
1t is estimated that from 600 to
500 persons have left east Tennessee
for Oklahoma in the last three or four
months, for the purpose Of rushing
into the new territory to be opened
for settlers in August.
The only thing in the way OF
profitably growing sunfiowers on a
large scale is the lack of market for
the seed. Cotton seed oil mills could
easily arrange to handle the crop, and
the oil is far more valuable than that
which they now produce.

MAYA INDIANS IN EXILE.
YQcatan Savages Driven from Their
Homes b the Mexican
Troops.

The former residents of Bacalar,
state of Yucatan, are rejoicing over
the occupation Of that town by the
government troops under command OF
Gen. Vega, says a recent report. Many
of these people still hold title to valua-
BILE property in the Bacalar district,
although they were driven from their
homes by the Maya Indians many
years ago. A large number of these
persons are now residents of British
Honduras and they are already look
ing up their deeds and title prelimi-
nary to retaining their properties.
The villa of Bacalar, which was
founded by the Spaniards, has been
besieged various times by the Mayas,
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1901-06-08

and it was only after desperate re-
sistance on the part of Jose Dolores
Zetent that it finally fell into their
hands.
There are still ruins of the ancient
fort and rusty cannon employed IN the
last defense against the Indians. The
latter, after taking it, did all in their
power to obstruct navigation, telling
trees and casting huge powders into
the streams. The waterways have
been cleared during the present cam
paign and there is now communica-
ton between the port of Zecalak Que
breado, on the coast, and Bacalar, by
means of the bay of Asunscion, the
Uondo river and the Bacalar lagoon.
