RUNNING SORES
!, covered limbs
q Little Girls Obstinate Case of
Eczema NJ instantaneous Relief
BY Cuticura Little Boys Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
Of Torturing Sores = Grateful
Mother Says:
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

SIN reply to your letter write YOU
my experience, and you aro privileged
to use it rs you see fit. LAST year,
after having my little girl treated by u
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case of eczema, ! rcsorted to tho
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded tho
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cnticura Soap. Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
mas been no recurrence OF the trouble.
In July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twcnty-rour
hours his hands and arms were n mass
OF torturing sores. We used only tho
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cnticura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
ResoivCnt. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; SO we have
lots OF cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies arc valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to como up on the mountain.

ports of the progress of rubber Gull
ture in Nahiku and vicinity. The Ma
hiku Rubber Company was organized
in January, 1905. and owns the first
rubber plantation ever started on
American soil. Besides this corpora
ton. the Koolau Rubber Company, or
ganized in April, 1905. and Hugh How
ell, the Waikiki engineer. both have
considerable areas of land in Nahiku
already planted with rubber trees.
Runlor has it also that the large tract
of land in Nahiku controlled by Alex
ander Baldwin, as successWs in inter-
est of the defunct Nahiku Sugar Com
pany. will be planted with rubber
trees,
.Rubber culture has been thus far
considered as a possibility in Hawaii,
said Mr.. Tbayer yesterday, but not
much more than that. When you corr
slider the fact that the Nahiku Rubber
Company already has over $4,000 trees
planted, that the Koolau Company has
about 10000 trees and Mr.. Howell has
nearly 1000 trees in the ground, it is
time to take rubber seriously. Nor
have these companies gone into the
matter blindly, for in Nahiku and Ha-
ma. which is just beyond, there are
now growing seven-year-old trees that
have been experimentally tapped at
intervals during the past year and
whose yield has been equal to the
trees of the same age in Mexico, Bra
iii and Ceylon. where rubber culture
has been a commercial success for sew
eraI years.
