NOT GOOD FOR SAMOANS.
Civilized Clothing Responsible for Much
Pneumonia and Pleurlsy.

The natives of Samoa" says Surgeon
Spear Of the navy in Il recent report,
ARE beginning to wear white men
clothes. much to the detriment of Their
health. The climate is essentially wet
one. In former times Il native Woulu
rub Il little cOcOanut oil on his skin ana
90 out into the rain, and when he
reached shelter there was nothing to Dry
but his 'lava-lava, or breech cloth. Inc
same native now goes out into the ram,
his modern clothes soon become wet,
and before he realizes it, he is chilled
through, for the rain in Samoa IS al
ways from degrees To 10 degrees colder
than the atmosphere. Pulmonary affec-
tons. such as pneumonia, bronchitis ana
tuberculosis, naturally follow. The pres
ent law prohibits the sale of alcoholic
beverages to the natives. AS matter
of fact, the natives care very little for
alcohol; they prefer their native drink,
'kava." The restriction is a wise one
and should be continued.
The SamoanS are very superstitlols,
and when taken sick they imagine devils
are inside them. Almost every old wonl-
an and man has a sure cure for driving
out these devils. This is accomplished
by 'lomi lOmi' (massaging) and by inter-
nal administration and external applica-
ton of various decOctiOnS made from
leaves. If Il cure results, the devils have
been driven out; if, on the other hand,
death follows, the devils are victorious.
The traders sell the natives a patent
pain killer which can be used internally
as medicine and externally as liniment
This medicine is very highly thought of
and the natives will tell you they have
great confidence in it; sometimes they
name their children after it. A sick Sa-
moan thinks that he must walk when
sick, his theory being that he must move
about to regain strength. If he cannot
walk he will bury himself under clothes,
and it is wonderful at times how they Oh
tain enough air to breathe
The usual treatment instituted in q
case of pneumonia by the natives Is
about as follows: The man sits up nj
most continually; he is stuffed with III
sorts of food and decoctions to drive out
the devils, the number of devils bein-
estimated by the amount Of pain II
much pleurisy exists, there are at least
eight devils in the chest, and it requires
energetic treatment to drive them out
The man gets up. walks about as long
as he can, and when he can no longer
walk he lies down and his head is GOV
cred up carefully so as to exclude al
fresh air. If the man survives the or
deal his attendants consider themselves
experts IN treating that particular dis
ease

STRAW hats SOLD IN WINTER.
For Wear in Florida, Where the Straw
Hat Season Has Already Opened

1--WE always carry good stock Of
straw hats in winter said New York
batter, land the severer the winter the
more straw hats we sell. The simple
reason for this is that in such a season
more people go south, and it is to people
going we'll south that we sell straw hats
here in winter
They are wearing straw hats in Flor
ida now, south of St Augustine. You
would find some straw hats worn in that
city, but at Ormond, Palm Beach and
Miami and elsewhere throughout the
Florida peninsula south OF St Augustine
straw hats are now commonly worn and
are required for comfort.
THE straw hat stocks that we carry
III winter here and at our agencies in
Florida are not of hats left over from
the stocks of the preceding season here.
but advance supplies of new, fresh goods
from stocks made up for the succeeding
season. The straw hat season in this
country really opens in Florida in win
ter, and the hats we are now selling for
wear there are of the styles of 1906.
sucn as will become familiar here later.
when, in due time, the straw season
shall have opened in New York
We begin making straw hats for the

goes on actively all through the fall and
winter When people here in New York
are going around in heavy overcoats and
furs we are selling straw hats for future
delivery, and the distribution of straw
hats to more distant southern points be-
gins III winter, SO that the jobbers and
retailers at these points may have their
stocks ready fox the opening of the sea-
son.
THE straw hat season opens in Flor
ida, not only for the tourists, but for
dwellers III the state, about February J.
In New Orleans and Mobile and along
the gulf, they begin to wear straw hats
about April /, and so with the advanc-
ing season straw hats begin to blossom
further and further north, until we get

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many Of them gained q won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics Of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just AS nature SO
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
Of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
Ills anu weaknesses or the OOQV, and
it was her pleasure to search these out
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
ton Of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
Liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this SO far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1878 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkhau's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an indamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1amed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
