DOAA'S BaCkbGHE KIDNEY PILLS
Which is Better To Try an Experiment, Of
Profit By Honolulu Citizens
Experience Z?

Something new is an experiment.
Must be proven to be as represented.
Be successful at home or you doubt
it.
The manufacturers statement Is net
convincing proof Of merit.
But the endorsement Of friends is.
Now, suppos1ng you had a weak
back.
A lame, or aching one.
Would you experiment on it
You will read of many so-called
cures,
But they come from rar-away places
It's different when the endorsement
comes from home.
Always remember,
Home endorsement is the proof that
backs every box of Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills..
Mr.. H. S. Swinton, of this city, says:
Il was a long sufferer from backache,
having been afflicted with 1t for twelve
years. Taking this as a symptom of
kidney trouble, and seeing Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills advertised as
mine, l procured some of them at the
on taking them that they were doing
me good, and was thereby encouraged
to keep on until now 1 am cured of the
backache. The merits of Doar's Back
ache Kidney Pills have been striking
ly shown in my case, and recommend
them to other sufferers"
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills al
ways have the picture OF leaf on the
wrapper. In asking for Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills ask for the kind
which cured Mr.. Swinton, and see that
the leaf Is on the wrapper.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all chemists and storekeepers
at 80 cents per box, six boxes $3.50, or
will be mailed on receipt OF price by
the HOLSTER Drug Co., Honolulu,
wholesale agents for the Hawaiian
Islands.

Delegate Wilcox is spending his va

farmer wants nothing to do with the city
man. He seems to be jealous and afraid of
him. The French farmer is willing to say
there may be some brains outside his own
class, and he is glad to take advantage of
them.
There are more than 5000, 900 farmers
in France who belong to agricultural syndi-
Gates, and there are altogether over 1000
such syndicates. These syndicates are for
general furthering of the farming and COM
mercial interests of the members, and they
are further organized into ten unions which
work together for the interests of their
class. They have a head office at Paris, and
this deals with the railroads as to freight
rates and also pushes agricultural interests
before the French Parliament.
The farm syndicates support measures
for a protective tariff on farm products and
do all they can to bring the farmers into
connection with the markets, the bankers
and the public. They have made 1t SO that
much farm goods are now sent over the
country by mail. Butter and cheese are
thus shipped, and wine is marketed by post
in two bottle lots. Most OF these syndi-
Gates have their own Libraries, and it is
largely due to them that the national gov
eminent has established a bank with a
fund Of about 5000, 900, which has been
loaned out to farmers at 3 per cent inter-
est. They have also decreased the taxes
on farm lands and provided that certain
lands shall be exempt from taxation.
These syndicates buy things in quantities
for their members, and 1t might pay our
exporters Of farm implements and fertil-
izers to treat directly with them.
Speaking of taxes, the tax exemptions
Of the farmers have caused a decrease in
the revenue Of s., 900, 900, and this came
from the very smallest of the taxpayers.
Nevertheless, there are some taxes almost
infnitesimal. There are more than $780,
600 persons in this country who each pay
a land tax ranging from 10 to 20 cents,
more than 5000, 900 pay from 81 to So, and
there are more than 1000, 900 landholders
who each pay from 81 to Sc per annum.
If a farmer pays a rent Of less than $50 he
is untaxed. II he pays $3.50 he is taxed
only on $3.50, but II he pays more than
Sl6O he is taxed 9 per cent on the whole
sum.
Almost all taxes here are based on in
comes or rents. Business property is taxed
8 per cent OF the amount for which 1t rents,
and IL II is idle 1t is not taxed at all. II a
store or house burns Town the tax on the
land stops from that moment, and II a
factory stops work its tax stops. Every
loom in the silk mill pays a tax while it is
working, but IL it is broken or becomes

feed the crops rather thuL che land and in
places get three crops a year through in
tensive cultivation. Near Cherbourg cab
bage is raised early in February. After
it is taken off a crop of potatoes is planted
and a third crop comes on in the autumn.
This is on land that has been used for
generations.
And still we Americans talk of old Mother
Earth being worn out. Nothing Of the
kind! The old lady has all the possibilities
of perpetual youth, but, c~oquette that she
is, she must be fed with the dainties she
loves and petted to make her yield her
best crops. This is especially so as to the
vineyards which have been used for genera
tions. The French vines are cut dow
every year and every vine has it's individ-
ual stake, and l might say it's individual
treatment.
One of the odd features of fruit growing
here is the training of the trees against
stone walls for early crops. The stones
act as radiators and proportionately in
crease the amount OF heat and the fruit
ripens earlier.
l have seen garden after garden outside
big French cities walled in this way. 1t is
estimated hat there are 400 miles of such
walls in the suburbs of Paris and that
they annually yield IL, 600, 900 peaches. The
peaches are sold by the piece and bring a
franc and upwards. Indeed, l have seen
peaches sell for rs cents and 81 apiece, but
they were probably raised under glass.
Suburban Paris has pear orchards which
produce as much as $500 per acre, and there
is one noted for its early pears which yields
more than $4,000 a year. 1t contains five
acres. The French export trees in great
quantities and good fruit land is very val
liable, the best selling for $500 or even more
per acre. This is Of course in favorable
localities.
l had a long chat during my stay in
Lyons with Consul Covert about farm clubs
and agricultural organizations. Mr.. Covert
has spent a great deal of time with the
farmers and has attended many OF their
meetings. He says they are far in advance
of us in such matters.
Every French country community, for
instance, has its clubs where the farmers
meet and discuss how to market the crops.
They combine together and buy their fer
filters at wholesale and appeal to the rail
roads for low freight rates. Not only the
farmers but the railroad officials, the bank
ers and the merchants come to the clubs.
The railroad men are asked to advise the
farmers as to what they should do as to
transportation and markets and the bank
ers and merchants are also counseled with
about money matters. In America the

cut down for wood OF fol furnit dre. The
branches grow rapidly. They are cut off
year after year, put into bundles and sold
to the bakers to make the hot fires neces-
sary for the crisp crust on the French
bread. There is such a demand for them
that raising them is one of the chief in
dustries of France. The poplars are
planted in places which are good for moth
ing else, and after five years each will an
nually produce at least 20 cents. Later OH
the trees are cut down and sold. Willows
are grown in the same way. their sprouts
being used for baskets.
The French make money out of chestnuts.
They grow varieties which are from two to
three times as large as the American
chestnut, and sell them to the fruit stands
and the groceries. The chestnuts are used
to dress turkeys, geese, chickens and game
and they are also used for dessert. The
confectioners make candy of them, and the
best candied chestnuts bring As cents per
pound, or, If coated with chocolate, SO
cents a pound. There are large establish
ments in France which do nothing else,
one at Lyons handling 25, 900, 900 pounds
of chestnuts a year.
The French chestnut trees are not culti-
waited. They are usually planted on poor
NtiNA ohA AZ NAllN arc u ~ lhNlA NOOus
Some chestnuts are grated, and there is
no doubt but that the French and Spanish
chestnut can be grated on our native
American sprouts. In fact, / have done
this on my farm in Virginia and have there
produced nuts as large as the largest buck
eye. There are men in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey who are making such chest
nut grating commercially profitable, and
the same might be done in other parts OF
the United States.
In South France, Spain and Italy chest,
nuts are ground into a meal and used for
bread, and they command good prices in
such localities. In the United States they
are chiefly sold by fruit vendors and by the
confectioners, and they bring, | am told.
81 or IS per bushel. Here in France they
sell by the kilogram, for 2 or 8 cents a
pound.
l have already written Of the market
gardens of France. l learn more about
them every day, and am more and more
surprised at their excellence. The French
have l,OO0, 600 acres devoted to gardens
and fruits, and in riding over the country
you pass fields OF hotbeds and see glass
frames propped over plants outside the
beds. In many places glass bells are used
to cover the individual plants, and there
are some sections which raise potatoes
under glass for export to London.
The French have studied the soil and the
sun and they coax both to work, They

FLOOD WILL MAKE
MINORITY REPORT
Does Not Intend That Freed
mems Inquiry Commission
Shall Be Created.
Especial Dispatch to The Timesl

WASHINGTON, D. c., May IA IA
vorable report was had from the House
Committee on Labor to-day on the bill
Of Representative Irwin (RepD, of Ken
lucky, to create a commission entitled
the Freedmens Inquiry Commission.
whose purpose it shall be to inquire into
the condition of the people of the negro
race IN the United States; said commits
sion to investigate and report their views
concerning the adjustment of the trou-
bic affecting the harmonious relations of
the races The commission is to give
hearings and shall have authority TO send
for persons and papers when necessary.
There are to be Iive commissioners APP
pointed by the President at salaries of
$500 per year each, and $4,000 a year
may be expended by the commission for
the rent of quarters, hire of clerks, etc,
in addition. The term of the commission
is to be three years. The report of this
bill was had after strict party vote in
the committee to-day, and after Repre-
sentative Hal Flood, q member of the
Committee on Labor, had been refused
permission to speak upon it. 1t wanted
but few minutes to the hour of adj
iournment when MIR. Flood arose to ask
that he might address the committee on
the bill. and he was told that he could
not speak on account OF lack of time, but
that he could express his views upon the
bill in the shape of a minority report.
This he Will do. A subcommittee, with
Representative Warnock, of Ohio. as
chairman, has for some time past been
giving hearings to parties of negroes,
who have spoken on questions involved
in the bill, and some of the testimony
| Representative Warnoc1 failed to furnish
with his report. All testimony. however.
is down in the stenographer's notes.
Among those who have been heard are
congressman White, of North Caro-
| lima: P. S. Is. Pnchback former Lieuten-
ant Governor of Louisiana, and Colonel"
| Bill Pledger, Of Atlanta. Some of the
statements made by these negroes were,
| 1t is understood. conservative, while 9TH
| ers were extremely radical Pledger is
| said to have made the statement that
number of lynchinss of negroes that oc-
| Cured in the South We're not because of
| crime, but because the white men wanted
the negroes crops If, for instance,
white man had a negro doing his farming
for him and wanted the whole crop he
would have the negro s!nched and then
take his share of the crop.
1T is a political scheme from begin
ming to end" said Mr.. Flood to-day,
land negro politicians are responsible for
| it Under the pretense of looking INTO
! the Industrial condition of the negro 1t
| is intended to stir up political strife L
have called for a full report OF all the
| hearings before the subcommittee and
! If there is any radical testimony In
| tend to show it up in my minority re-
! port, which I will be ready to submit
