exporters are comparatively few, and
that by reason of their offices BENZ
flooded with inquiries and so much
exaggerated advertising of nursery
stock, some of them have conceived
the idea that everybody is cultivating
it and the price must go down, and
some of them are now discouraging
the beginner.
We think, for the same reason, the
government in it's last report on the
subject, thinks it is likely to be over
done.
From the best authority, the price
of the select in China ranges from
$40 to SIS per pound Some put it
much higher. This is easily ascer
tanned. In making the following illus
tration I do not want to consider an
acre, because as soon as everyc
found it to be true, all the beauti
full flower gardens in Seattle would
be at once converted into ginse
gardens. But l wish to use a small
space, say 16x19 feet, made into four
beds, 4 feet wide and 16 feet long.
These beds will accommodate 504
roots eight inches apart. Present
price of seed would be SIS. The rental
value of the ground per annum
would be about one dollar. This is
on a basis of SLAB to the acre rental,
which is very high. For seven
years it will cost 81 to prepare this
amount of ground. A lattice shade,
posts, etc. will cost to not exceed
$40, if you buy all material. Three
loads of manure at 81 each, So; the
one covering will last for seven years.
To pull the weeds, say four times
III,
making $685. At the end of seven
years, it will cost S. to market the
5O4 roots. We have to this time a
cost of SOS. Interest from date at
per cent makes $27, or a total ex-
pense of 5000, from the purchase of
your seed to the market, counting ev-
erything to be hired at that price.
Five hundred and four roots seven
years old will weigh 80 pounds. Let
us suppose we get the lowest mar
ket price, 81 per pound; we have
$21O, less the full cost of everything,
including interest, 1920, leaving a
net profit of $11770. This is over
all labor and cost, to say nothing of 1t
furnishing labor at time when you
or your boys may not have other Ia
Dor to perform.
Now, in addition to this, at the age
of three years there roots will each
produce 80 seeds, which, at present
price, would be $151.20. At four
years old they will produce so seeds
each, 1882; at five years old they will
make at least 60, or $302.4O; at six
years old, at least 80 seeds to the
root, 4O,32O, or $403.20; at seven years
old they will easily produce 100 seeds
to the root, 50,400 seed or 1904, thus
giving you a net profit of $1327.30 on
an investment of SIS in seven years, to
say nothing of what you may have
from planting the seed instead OF
marketing them.
Suppose the price at the end of
seven years is one-half what it is now,
you would still have a very decent
profit This lot is about 1-143 OF an
acre, so you see it would be danger
GUS to figure on an acre.
l hope to hear from you through
your valuable paper, and if your proof
is convincing We are wrong, l will &C
cept it and quit the business. II you
are convinced you are wrong, l feel
sure of your support

as torpid liver and Indigestion, which

drank my coffee, and go below normal
as the coffee effect wore off. Some
times my pulse would go as htgh as
l37 beats to the minute. My family
were greatly alarmed at my condition
and at last mother persuaded me to
begin the use of Postum Food Coffee.
81 gave up the old coffee entirely
and absolutely, and made Postum my
sole table beverage. This was six
months ago. End all my Ills, the indi-
gestion, inactive liver and rickety
heart action, have passed away, and
my complexion has become clear and

A Honolulu Case

Many More Like 1t in Honolulu.
The following case is but one of
many similar occurring daily in Homo
lulu. It is an easy matter to verify it's
correctness. Surely you cannot ask for
better proof than such conclusive
evidence.
Jurgen Walter of this city tells US
as follows: MY age is 79-well past
the ordinary span of life-and I am
the parent of eight children. Being
so far advanced in years, 1 regard the
relief obtained from Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills.
I suffered from a lame back for
years, but after taking some of the
pills (procured at HOLSTERS drug
store) was greatly benefited. and I am
satisfied the pills did me much good"
Our kidneys filter our blood. They
work night and day. When healthy
they remove about 500 grains of i'm
pure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is
left in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, Rheumatism, govt, gravel, dis
order eyesight and hearing, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy deposits in the urine, etc. But
if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your Kidneys.

Recommendations Are
Made to Board of
Health.

In his report to the President of the
Board of Health on his recent visit te
| Maui, DR.. Pratt says the sanitary con-
| dition of the camps on the H C. & S.
Co.'S plantation is excellent OF meth
| DDS there he says:
IF DR.. Dinegar or the plantation
policeman find any one who has not
cleaned up or has been throwing out
wash water, the mans number is taken
and he is fined g for the first offense
and S. for the second, and this is de-
Quoted from his wages at the end of
the month. This rule might we'll be
followed by other plantations"
DR.. Pratt makes the following rec
concentrations for Wailuku and Kahu-
lui respectively:
FOR WAILUKU.
eff the three buildings, spoken of in
the report as belonging to Mrs Aluli
are not removed, 1 would advise that
they be condemned and ordered vacat-
ed until the place is made sanitary
That those buildings which can be rails
ed, be raised above the level of the
street. That lean-tos be torn down and
buildings in the back yards be re-
modelled so as to get sufficient air space
THAT the privies be rebuilt, and, if
Manager Wells can be persuaded to
take the contents of dry earth boxes,
that the dry earth system be installed
That sanitary sinks and wash floors
be put in and connected by proper
drains to cesspools. That all wooden
drains be removed
That the open dltcn, covered with
boards on the upper side of Market
street, be abandoned as a sewer, un-
less a cement sewer is laid. That horses
be not allowed to be stabbed in back
yards.
THAT the Waikiki plantation ap-
point at least two sanitary police to
look after their camps. That the plan
tation be required to put in sinks and
wash-foors in each camp, also collect
all the refuse and garbage from the
camps. If possible, the dry earth sys-
tenn should be inaugurated on all the
plantations.
'Ihat the removal of garbage and
refuse in Wailuku be continued and
that collections be made at least two
or three times week, instead of once
a week, as is being done now.
FOR KAHULUI.
THE sanitary conditions there are
such that nothing short of condemning
the greater part of the Chinese and
japanese quarters would be effective.
THE H. C. & S. Co. have bought the
land, subject to leases, which have
about a year and a half to run. 1t is
their intention, when they come into
possession, to tear down all the build
ings and build a new Kahului camp
further inland. Plans have been drawn
on modern sanitary lines. Under the
circumstances, it will be hard to get
the Chinese and japanese to do any
extensive sanitary work
MY recommendation would be that
the H. G. & S. Co. be communicated
with and see if they can not arrange
with the different parties to surrender
their leases at once and that they start
on building the new Kahului camp.
Several of the parties 1 spoke to sig
nified their willingness to move at once.
"a pig regulation should be passed
and the pigs removed further away
from town.

ferred From here to Memphis. Atten- tion was attracted by the estimate Of the Journal of Commerce that the di- vidend and interest disbursements to be made in January will reach the record figures of 141,0O0,0OO. The magnitude of the sum thus provided for in face of the low condition of bank reserves and the active borrowing for specula- ti6n offers a sufficient explanation for the course of the money market, with out seeking obscure explanations in supposed manipulation to initiate the the money rate.
 The inroad upon prices of stocks was inconsiderable up to the early afternoon and an effective rally at that time re- duced the losses made earlier in the day. But the market broke badly dur ing the last hour with the wilder flights in the money rate and the clos ing was weak and very active.
