properly stamped. The Supreme Court
in an opinion by Frear. Galbraith dis
sentins as TO one case, afirms the pre-
vious ruling.
The syllabus follows:
THE repeal of the provisions of the
Federal Stamp Act that require stamps
to be placed on prc1nissory notes does
not affect notes made before such re-
peal-the provisions that impose penal
ties make instruments invalid or mad
missible as evidence untn stamped and
that provide how they shall be stamped
afterwards if not stamped when made.
not having been repealed.
Instruments not stamped when made
can be legally stamped afterwards only
as prescribed by law, that is, by going
before the collector
"A rehearing is denied
Galbraith concurs in the order over
ruling the motion but says there was
error in the former Judgment which the
court should correct Of its own motion.
In the one case where the proper
stamps were affixed but not cancelled
he finds that the plaintfff should have
judgment.

Editor Advertiser: 1t is a source of
some wonder and much disappointment
to many Honolulu housekeepers in their
search for dainty edibles FOR the table,
that the apple banana is not more gem
orally for sale. This banana, with its
slightly acid taste, is preferred by
many to the native or ordinary banana
and yet it seems almost impossible to
procure it. Occasionally it may be
found at the Chinese fruit store, but
this cannot be depended on because
when one needs them most they are
liable not to have them. Is not this
another source of revenue eor the ever
talked-of small farmer?

is REFUSED
Sugar Company
to Pay for New
Mill.
Supreme Court Says It
Can't Be Deducted
From Tax.
New Hearing Also Refused in
Case involving Construction
Of Stamp Act.

The Supreme Court handed down two
decisions yesterday in both cases de-
nying motion for a rehearing.
SUGAR COMPANY MUST PAY.
The court denied a new hearing in
the appeal of the Hawaiian Commercial
and Sugar Co. from the decision of the
tax court, and the plantation must pay
on its income of about $4,000. The
point at issue was whether money spent
for a new mill could be deducted frora
the income.
The syllabus of the court follows:
."The provisions of the income tax
law that no deduction shall be made
for any amount paid out for new build
ings, permanent improvements or bet
terments made to increase the value of
any property or estate does not imply
that the deduction may be made for
all amounts so paid out which do not
in fact increase the value of the prop
erty.
THE loss of any old mill in good
condition, by voluntary abandonment
because of the erection of a larger mill
in different location on account of
the enlargement of the plantation is not
an expense with the meaning of the
income tax law.
1.-THE rehearing is denied
The opinion is written by Chief JUS
tice Frear and among other things the
court says: What is expended for per-
maneut improvements is not expense.
The tax is levied upon the income, not
upon the increase in the value of the
estate
AS to the section referring to ex-
penses actually incurred the court says:
This provision of the statute might
apply IL the old mill had given out so
that it was practically necessary to
erect new mill on that account. The
amount expended in the new mill up to
the extent not merely of the value of
the old mill, but of the amount that
would be required to put the old mill
in good repair or to replace it, might
perhaps be deducted as an expense.
But such was not the case here. AS
shown by the appellants own witnesses
the old mill was in good condition and
was voluntarily abandoned and the new
mill was erected solely in order to have
a larger mill and in different loca-
ton on account Of the enlargement OF
the plantation"

the Century Clubs course, was one of
the finest efforts ever listened to in Mid

Pretty Church Wedding.

There was very pretty wedding at
st. Mary's church Monday morning at S
o'clock when William Ryan and Miss
Mary Sullivan were united in marriage
by Rev. Father Shannon. Miss Anna
Sullivan, sister of the bride, was maid
of honor, and Daniel Sullivan, a brother,
was groomsman. Miss Mary Flynn
officiated at the organ, and the bridal
party entered the church to the strains
of Mendelssohn's wedding march. A
large number of the friends of the con-
tracing parties were present, as both
the young people are very popular in
town, and have a host of friends. Mr..
and Mrs. Ryan are enjoying their honey
moon in Boston and New York. They
will reside in Middlebury.

CURES CATARRHAL DEAF

One Weeks Use of Hyomei Did More Than
Six Months Treatment by Specialists.
In the treatment of deafness which is
often the result of catarrh, Hyomei acts
almost Immediately upon the infamed
membrane and the hearing begins to
return at once. A few days treatment
will bring relief, and in three or four
weeks, according to the severity of the
case, a cure will be accomplished.
Miss Meeks, of Mattewan, n. Y, says
"Hyomei is truly wonderful. ! have
used it but a short time and see a great
change in my condition. My hearing is
improving rapidly. and | had no Idea |
would improve so rapidly in so short
time. My breath, which was very Of
fensive to myself and others, has lost its
bad odor entirely. | have spent gres
deal of money with catarrh specialists
and can truly say that six months of
their treatment is not equal to one month
Of Hyomei."
DIR. w. II. Sheldon is selling HyOmei
upon the unusual plan Of agreeing to
return the money if the medicine does
not cure.
a complete outfit costs only Sl.OO and
consists of an inhaler that can be carried
In tine vest pocket, medicine dropper
and a bottle of Hyome. The inhaler
will last lifetime and there is enough
Hyomei for more than months treat
ment. Additional bottles of Hyomei
can be procured for 80 cents. Compare
this small expense with the fees charged
by specialists, and then remember that
if Hyomei does not cure, DR.. w. Ii.
Sheldon will return your money.

catarrhal colds is sold in this way?

GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

milford X. Burt Offers Chance to Save
Money Which Does Not Come Often.
When one can buy gold dollars for
fifty cents, 1t is natural to think they
are counterfeit. But when reliable
business man tells you that if any one
refuses the dollar, he will return what
you paid for it, confidence is established
at once
1t is in Just this way that Milford r.
Burt, the popular druggist, is selling DR..
Howard's specific for the cure of con-
stipation and dyspepsia, offering the
regular fifty cent size of this celebrated
remedy at half price, and agreeing to
return the money if it does not give
perfect satisfaction and do all that is
claimed for it.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness,
gas on the stomach, specks before the
eyes, constipation, and all forms of liver
and stomach troubles are soon cured by
this scientific medicine.
So great is the demand for this specific
that Mr.. Burt has been able to secure
only limited supply, and you should
take advantage of this opportunity today
and call upon him or send 20 cents, and
get sixty doses of the best medicine ever
made, on this special half price offer,
with his personal guarantee to refund
the money If 1t does not cure.

Hyomei the Only Cure for Catarrh which
Returns Your Money II Not Satisfac-
tory.
1t is seldom that druggist has enough
faith in the medicines he sells, even when
prepared by himself, to be willing to
refund the money If it does not cure /;
but Hyomei has cured so many cases OF
catarrh among the customers of DR.. w.
III. Sheldon that he offers to refund the
money to all who use it, and report that
they are not satisfied.
Hyomei is the simplest and most con-
venient remedy for catarrh ever offered
to the public. Breathed through an in
haler so small that 1t can be carried In
the vest pocket, for a few minutes four
times day, it will absolutely Kill all the
germs of catarrh and cure the disease.
Catarrh cannot exist where Hyomei is
used. 1t has a two-fold action, killing
all the germs in the air passages and
lungs and soothing and healing the irri-
tated mucous membrane.
Some of the prominent men and wo-
men of the country have gladly given
testimonials to Hyomei. After seeking
relief in vain for years, this wonderful
remedy has cured them of catarrh, and
il is no wonder that they want others to
know it.
Rev. DR.. Stryker. of the 34th Street
Church, of New York City, writes !:
"Hyome gives wonderful relief in ca
tarrh when other remedies have failed.
1t has been Of great service to me-"
