Making of Poi,' by GA Lover of

Making of Poi" by GA Lover of
Good Poi
Allow me a few words on the
handmade and machine-made article.
l would say to GA Lover of Good
Poi and to all those who take an in
terest in good wholesome, nutritious
home grown food that machine-made
poi does contain all the good qualities
of poi made in the Old-fashioned way,
that is if the machine in which it is
made is constructed of suitable mate
rial. such as fine grained cast iron,
stone, cement or even wood (though
wood is apt to sour), but not Of brass
or galvanized metal, to which ga
Lover of Good Poi'' rightly objects.
What is good poi? 1t is good ripe
taro thoroughly cooked and carefully
cleaned with the least amount of hand
labor and ground to a perfectly even
paste and mixed with pure water to
consistency to suit taste. [ can not
think of anything else that would sug-
will say that poi should be kept in
non-corrosible containers.
1 have seen a good deal of poi made
in the old way. This process is to me,
and I should think to others, not appe-
thing. When one has seen a Pake or
any one leaning over the poi-board,
striped TO TIE waist and laboriously
poun ing and perspiring profusely 1
always have the idea that some of that
Pake s personality enters into the poi;
he is too intimate with it to suit my
taste Of course this is a matter of
taste in which every one has a right to
suit himself. Then again. the water
used for mixing the poi is not always
what it should be. Ditch water or
taro patch water or water taken from
surface wells that suffer from infltra-
tion should not be used to mix with
poi and may cause very serious affec-
tions, which affections can not be
counteraeted by smoking a cigarette or
even several strong cigars after a feed
of poi thus contaminated.
Honolulu has a brand new poi fac
tory that makes good poi in a lately
patented machine of cast iron that al
lows access to everv ;,art and can be
and is inspected and cleaned after
every batch is made. Only absolutely
pure water from their own artesian
wall 10 hn -
is kept in wooden or agate ware con-
tanners only. Let any one who likes
good poi and wants to convince him
self that 1t is good, go to the Kalihi
Poi factory and see for himself
Now, Mr.. Editor, as your paper adj
voeates small farming SO vigorously L
should think that no more profitable
subject can he discussed than taro-
raising and that YOU would gladly help
the planting community, whether Ha-
waiian, Chinese, Portuguese or haole,
to the information of how to get the
best results. TaEo will yield to proper
cultivation as much as any other plant.
There are some good publications on
his subject. Let US have plenty of
ARC to furnish good wholesome food to
everybody cheaplv and give the taro
iour people a chance to sell abroad
md bring money into the country.
The valleys on these Islands have an
abundance of good taro land that now
les idle. New settlers in this coun-
ny should look to taro land first. to
make sure to have something TO live

IN FIGHT TO STAY.
Illinois Central VIII Strive for Export
 Business.

Chicago, Aug 2.-Speaking of the fight between railroads operating to New York and the lines to the Gulf of Mexico for export grain business. Pres ident Steuyvesant Fish of the Illinois Central, who was in Chicago. today said that the Illinois Central was in the ex- port business to stay:
 We shall attempt to influence all the export business possible via New Or leans," said President Fish. Last year we got most of the traffic that belonged to us. and this year we shall get more from present indications. large part of the West. we contend, is naturally tributary to the Gulf of Mexico, partic ularly New Orleans. While I would do nothing to injure New York. my homo city, I believe that 1t had more than its legitimate share of the export of grain traffic from the West"
 In discussing the work of the Inter state Commerce Commission. President Fish declared that he was in favor of making that body court of record. capable of enforcing the rulings, or passing the strongest kind of legisla- tion tending to wipe out every known form of rebate that bears the earmarks of discrimination.
 Additional laws to prevent rate dis crimination cannot be made too strong" said he, The midnight tariff may be eliminated by making it necessary to file notice of a reduction in rates at least ten days before such reduction is to be made. But the Government should not attempt to go into the busi- ness of naming rates; that is, Of vest Ing itself with original rate-making power. Shippers do not want that, be- cause it would mean in the end dis tance tariffs. and that would eliminate competition, not only among the rail- roads, but between producers. shippers and communities. It would also mean that in a short time the Government must fix the price of all ommoditioes. It would repress. make all districts de- pend upon local consumption and hurt business in a thousand ways"
