lance of the Pure Food Law is not
fully appreciated by either the con-
sumer or dealer. If there were suffi-
cient funds to vigorously enforce the
law along reasonable lines the SON
sumner would get better food and the
dealer would receive a more regular
profit.
When all the watered stock has
been squeezed out of food products
both the consumer and the dealer will
be better rewarded What do | mean
by watered stock? All the adulteration
which is used as a filler, which, COM
paratively speaking, has no food value.
There will come a time in the evolu-
ton of business when the watered
stock will not only be squeezed out OF
Food products but out of everything
else.
The third advantage. 1t has improv-
ed the morals and honesty of that
much-abused body of men, knights
of the Grip" Before the passage OF
the law a knight of the grip would
would walk into store, place his grip
under the show case put his hands in
his pocket, puff a clear Havana and
wait for Mr. Grocer to get through
waiting on his customer. He would
than give him the glad hand, How
are you old boy?" have cigar, giving
him clear Havana (the grOcers gen
orally smoke a center.) The grocer
begins to warm up. The student OF

travelling man should be, if he is not
says: Say, Bill, have you heard the
latest? and then he becomes familiar,
takes the grocer back behind the show

his sides with laughter over the
last joke. Then the shreWd
knight of the Grip begins. II have Z

soap for quarter. | have good soap
you can retail seven bars for quarter
and make % per cent. profit. This is
special deal and only lasts couple

are conflicting but all have the same
combined experiences of the different
states which have Pure Food Laws
will be embodied in a national law.
At a meeting of the National Dairy
and Food Departments held recently
in Portland, Ore, the convention look
ed upon the passage of a national law
as it's most important work. Every
commissioner realizes that he will be
handicapped until there is national
law. There was a committee appoint
ed to look after this legislation, to go
to Washington at the next session of
congress and remain until the law was
enacted.
Pure food laws are comparatively
new and it will require years to regu-
late the manufacture of foods. Laws
are enacted by the legislature but are
not accepted until they have the ap-
prevail of the Supreme court. Every
state. is passing through this stage of
uncertainty. | am in doubt in regard
to some of my rulings being sustained
by the court. l am pursuing the only
method of settling these disputed in
terpretations. 1t. is necessary that
some ruling be made and the commits
sion must stand by his rulings until
someone contests them in the courts.
1t will then be carried to the Supreme
court and finally adjudicated.
The first advantage we have gained
from our Pure Food Law is in the ed
ucation of the trade. The Pure Food
Law was enacted in this state March
13, 1899.
The food dealers of the state were
alarmed believing that at least so per
cent. of their groceries would be con-
fiscated If the letter and not the
spirit of the law were carried out,
wholesale confiscation would have
been the result. This was the first
knowledge that the grocers had that
such large percentage of the gro
ceries on their shelves were adulter-
ated. Up to this time there was no
way for the dealer in foods to have
any knowledge of what he was selling.
He was guided by the statements OF
the trade, he was trying to buy as
much as he could for $1.00 in order
that he could undersell his competitor.
Very little attention was paid to quail
ity, it was to quantity. He began to
inquire into the quality of the foods
he was selling; he was learning his
A B Cs in the grocery business. His
education was begun; he will never
graduate, as there will always be
something more to learn as foods are
continually changing. If there was no
other benefit but this alone, the Pure
Food Law should be endorsed.
The second advantage. 1t has been
the regulation of values. An old ia
miliar sign, Full Cream Cheese, 10
Cents Per Lb.," is not in it's accus-
toned place. 1t has become unpopu-
lar: it was a fraud, for in many cases
the so-called Full Cream Cheese" did
not contain more than 20 per cent. OF
butter fat. 1t was a demoralizer. Ii
was the Dairy Law which placed on it
the stamp of condemnation. No cheese
shall be stamped Full Cream Cheese"
which does not contain 80 per cent.

WHAT ADVANTAGES HAVE WE
GAINED FROM OUR PURE
FOOD LAW.

1ollluiSSlOHtl.
My subject is one with which l can
not claim to be unfamiliar for two
reasons:
1st. l have had Pure Food for my
meals three times a day for the last
three years to satisfy my physical
wants.
Food literature from to IL hours ev-
cry day for the same length of time.
So if you think | am not acquainted
with my subject you are mistaken.
cannot believe that the anxiety
to enforce the Pure Food Law dur
ing the last three years has been the
cause of a few silver threads appear
ing in the covering on the top OF my
head but such may be the case. The
subject which has been given me
might with more propriety been given
to some disinterested person who
would have no reason to paint the pic
ture more beautiful than the reality.
It is only natural for me to believe
that more has been accomplished than
really has l will endeavor to treat
the subject in as unbiased manner
as possible, and leave you to be the
Jury to return the verdict. Laws are
an expression of the will of the people.
The laws on the statute books for the
last SO years will show that they have
been changed from time to time as
conditions change. So laws enacted
to-day may be wholly unnecessary in
rs years from now. 1t was not neces-
sary in the early stages OF this repub-
lie to have an Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Our fOrefathers were more intent in
defending their right of life and lib
erty and in hewing out home in the
wilderness than they were about equl-
table passenger and freight rates.
No sane man will say that the In
terstate Commerce Commission has
not done a great work in regulating
railway rates between the different
states. The railroads raised howl
every time a commission was appoint
ed to regulate rates and claimed that
the law was UNCONSTITUTIONAL, DuI VIC
find that the highest courts in our
land have sustained these laws and
that the railroads are running their
trains under the regulations of these
commissioners When such large ag-
gregations of capital are formed oper-
ating over such a large extent OF
country there must be some commits
sion to see that they do not become
too exacting. Again it was not neces-
sary in the early history of this re-
public to have Pure Food Laws, for
everyone received their food fresh
from mother earth in all it's virgin
purity. Now instead of every one be-
ing his own manufacturer We have
large aggregations of wealth in every
line of business.
Foods are manufactured on a large
scale so that we are dependent on the
honesty of the manufacturer for the
healthfulness of what we eat and
drink AS the Interstate Commerce
Law was a necessity in the railroad
situation, so a national Pure Food Law
is necessary in the food question.

REVIVAL
FOR HONOLULU
REV. W. II. RICE BEFORE THE
MINISTERIAL UNION DECLARES
IT Is BADLY NEEDED.

Religious revivals and how they can
be secured was the subject of discuss
sion at the meeting Of the Ministerial
Union at Central Union Church this
morning. Rev. w. II. Rice of the Anti
Saloon League read a paper on the
why, When and How of REVEALS"
He said he believed revivals necessary
to every church; that the church had
its beginnings in a revival. Its course
was a series Of revivals. He defined a
revival "a new outpouring of divine
life from heaven. 1t is not the work
of man. it is the gift of Cod
And America needs a revival of
pure religion he continued. 1T is
twenty-five years since there were any
powerful and widespread REVEALS.
And this city needs one. This is SO
obvious that | hardly need to state the
proposition. Drunkenness, gambling,
profanity, worldiness, all crimes and
vices, iniquides, transgressions and
sins. Every church in the city needs
1t. There has not been in
these Islands, as l understand it, a re-
vival that really shook them, for
many years.
The law or revivals, Rev. Rice insist
ed, was found in the epistle Of James.
Draw nigh to God and he will draw
nigh to you
This law faithfully followed would
result inevitably in revival continuing
for ten years and reaching out on ev-
cry side and extending to all the ISL
ands.
The paper was discussed by a con-
siderable number of those present. va
rious shades of opinion being express
ed. There seemed to be a general feel
ing that conditions other than those of
the pastors own mind and heart often

AN ABANDONED STILL

The still" found by Deputy Sheriff
ChillingwOrth and Chester Doyle on
Saturday, was taken I'm charge this
morning by Collector Chamberlain ana
the japanese owner will be prosecuted
in the federal court. There was no
ohOlehaO seized, and none was found in
the building where the stili was The
conditions at the place indicated that
the still had not been operated for two
or three months. There was there
fore no case under the Territorial laws
but under the federal law the mere
possession of a still that is not regis
tered with the internal revenue Office is
punishable by fine and imprisonment.
Collector Chamberlain and Marshal
Hendry We're both in their homes prac-
tically all of Saturday afternoon, and
We're surprised to see the statement OF
those who made the seizure that they
could not be found. Deputy Collector
Drake took charge of the still after the
police had found that there was no Ii
quor on hand, making territorial prose-
cutiOn impossible, and this morning tho
still was removed to the revenue office,
to be used as evidence.

COURT NOTES.

Application has been filed for probate
OF the will of the late Harriet Carter
who died in 1898, and whose estate has
already been distributed, in order to
clear a land title. The estate was di-
vided amicably by the relatives, who
did not think it necessary to probate
the viii, and since then the document
has been lost. Recently it was found
that a mortgage remained legally I'M
settled owing to failure to probate the
will, and the heirs now ask to prove
the will and have a. w. Carter appoint
ed administrator
In the matter of the estate of James
+. Woods, who died i'm 1884 the order
of final discharge has been granted to
Godfrey Brown and f. NJ. Swanzy, adj
ministratOrs.
A stipulation has been entered into by
the Territory allowing r. |, Dillon, at
torney for Kimura, the condemned Jap
anese murderer, 30 days more time in
which to file the bill of exceptions IN

Circuit Judges Busy with Various
Matters.

The three circuit judges held court in
their chambers this morning, to the
sound of hammers and saws, improve
ments having been started in the Eva
courtroom, and in the new courtroom
Judge De Bolts chambers.
Judge Gears time was occupied with
an attack on the writ of ne eXeat
regno, in the case of II. G. EastOn VS..
Robert McBryde. f. +. Thompson, at
torney for the defendant, attacked the
writ which was issued to keep Me
Bryde from leaving the Territory on
legal grounds, and after a morning of
argument the matter was submitted,
Gear promising a decision next We'd
nesday morning. Castle and Whiting
appeared for EastOn.
In Judge Robinson's court the Ma
noa valley irrigation case. which has
been in the courts several years and
has been to the Supreme Court twice,
came up again, having been reopened
for the purpose of asCertaining dam
ages to be awarded. The suit was for
damages or account of the interference
of Chinese tenants in Manoa with one
another's water rights, during the
drOuth of several years ago. Judge
Robinson's last decision was to the ef-
feet that there was not enough evil
dence on which to base an award of
damages, and he therefore took the
matter up again.
The accounts of J. \. Magoon as
guardian Of Susan Brash and admin
istratOr of the estate of William
Brasil deceased, were referred to NJ.

NOVEL INCOME APPEAL

A claim that money expended i'm the
purchase of land is to be deducted
from an income tax statement of in
come, is the novel doctrine put forward
by one of the appellants before tho
Tax Appeal Court, which mot this ar
ternoon for the purpose of hearing in
come tax appeals Another claim is
that loss Of stock shown BY a sale
during the last year for less than the
purchase price OF several years ago,
represents a loss for which allowance
should be made.
There were only five cases ON the
calendar for the court to consider The
largest were three japanese cases, in
which the appellants took exception To-
the income fixed by Tax Collector
Pratt, after an examination OF their
books. They are NJ. Kawahara, ID,
Yoneltura and r. Murakani, who asked
for reductions of S3,S39A1, $500 and
$j-63439 respectively.
Mrs. Rosalie X. Trip appeals from
the refusal of the Collector to allow
her to deduct from her income $1,000
spent by her during the year for pur-
chase of land. The other appellant is
NJ. Kaiser, who appeals for $lSS7.5O.
The question involved in the Kaiser
case was the subject of an'opiuion by
Attorney General Dole recently. The
Attorney General held that only losses
of the years actual transactions could
be considered, as losses actually in
CURED during the year." and that a
sale of property at a loss compared
with the purchase price of previous
years could not be considered under
this head. The total amount of all the
appeals is $l91Gl.3O 1t is expected that
the court will finish hearing the cases
this afternoon.

MACON FIGHTING
BECKy'S LAWYER
GUARDIAN is WILLING TO ALLOW
WARD $25 90 A WEEK, BUT SHES
AT FITCH'S FEE.

The troubles Of Mrs. RebeCca Panoe
Humeku were brought up again this
afternoon i'm the Circuit Court Judge
De Bolt took up the hearing of her APP
pliCation for a larger allowance, for
81 GOO for furniture, and a sum mot to
exceed $1,000 for attorneys fees.
Thomas Fitch and Henry Hghton APP
peared for Becky MagOOn as spend
thrift guardian.
MagOOn said that he was willing to
pay $25 a week allowance to Mrs. HUI
me1u, pending the hearing, and that he
thought the estate would justify the
sum for a permanent allowance. He
would resist the payment Of $50 to
Fitch for money advanced, and Si3 to
Col. Jones for work done on the record
of the case in the Supreme Court The
sum of $1,000 for furniture might be
all right if expended under the APP
proval of the guardian, but the fee was
all wrong. 81 resist everything as to
the fee said Magoon.
Highton examined Fitch as to the
amount Of work he had done as couu-
sci for Becky, ana Fitch explained the
long fight he has carried on in the
courts. Though her petition to have
the guardianship terminated had final
ly been lost. she had been much bene-
fitted, said Fitch. She was living ON
an allowance OF 81 per week, IN not
very nice place on Queen street. said
Col. Fitch. "She energies with d $1,000
house of her own, and an allowance of
$2j per week" Fitch placed the in
come from the real property owned BY
Becky al $1,000 per year, in addition to
which she has the house, some unpro-
ductive real estate on Maui some per-
Sonal property in the form of notes.
and a fire claim award for Sl,3GO. The
latter was regarded as of doubtful
value Its value is dependant upon
so many contingencies that | don't like
to estimate" said Fitch.
Judge Gear was next called, to tell
of the services of the attorneys. He
described the suit before him, and said
chat it had appeared to him to be a
simple matter in law, but the Supreme
Court had disagreed with him, and or
