The trouble with most adver-
Users is that they expect imme-

illustrates the principle Of adver-
Using in this way:
"The money expended for

profits from the advertising
are virtually the interest ON
the Investment.
"The sums spent for advertising

can usually be sold for the face
value of the investment
THE rate OF interest is deter
mined by the skill with which
the investment Is made.
"Just as the quickest way TO
increase Invested wealth Is by

the quickest way to realize re-

Honolulu, July Is, 1907.
GENERAL SUMMARY.
For the Week Ended July 10, 1907.

Rainfall varying in amount from 10
to "A inch occurred in the Kohala,
Hamakua, Puma and Kau districts of
Hawaii; from .5S inch to 1.65 inches
in the Hilo, and 2.34 to 3.47 inches in
the Kona districts. On Maui, Oahu
and Molokai the amounts generally
varied from .O6 to 81 inch, except no
measurable rain in the Kula and Wal
luku, and 40 inch to LAP inches in
the KooIau districts of Maui. In the
Kona districts Of Kauai the amounts
ranged from 10 to 2.22 inches, and
from 50 to 6S inch in the Puma dis
trict.
At stations having a record of ten
or more years, the total amount was
below the average IL to - inch in
the Kau, Puma, Kohala and Hamakua
districts of Hawaii, and 81 inch to
209 inches in the Hilo district; in
the Kona district the amount was 1.61
inches above the weekly average. In

frequently caused much needless so--
row to surviving friends was that
which insisted upon the necessity OF
special preparation for death He he'd
that the only useful preparation Tor
death was a thoroughly good life down
here; for a man who had lived well, the
future would take care of itself.
He maintained that we usually give
far too much Importance to death, but
that the teaching of Theosophy enables
us to view it in it's true proportions,
simply as a passage from one stage of
life to another stage. The old classical
saying "Mors janua Vitae''-"Death is
the gate of life,'' was literally true, for
that was exactly what it Was-a gate
into a fuller and higher life. We should
realize that on the other side of the
grave as well as on this, the same great
eternal law of Divine justice still pre-
vailed, and that we could trust as i'm
plicitly there as here to the action of
that law with regard both to ourselves
and to those whom we love. If we
believed at all in a God who was low
ing Father, we must realize that a fate
which, like death, came to all alike
could not have in it ought of evil for
any, and that whether we were in this
world or the next we must be equally
safe in His hands.
The lecturer regretted that, as the
time at his disposal was so limited, he
was unable to place more than very
rough outline of the doctrine before his
audience but he begged that all who
were interested would apply to the
members of the local branches of the
Theosophical Society, who would gladly
give them any further information and
would procure for them the literature
by the help of which they could study
the subject. ,A.ze.

CLEANING OF STREETS
What the Women of Kalamazoo,

Took Up Problem and Proved 1t
Could Be SoIved-How Streets Were
EIushed-Cans Provided For Rubbish.
Writing on "Charities and Com
MONS" Caroline Bartlett Crane gives
an account Of what has been done by
the Women's Civic Improvement
league in Kalamazoo, Mich, a city OF
$4,000 population, to prove that it does
not cost too much to have clean streets.
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
eve studied the matter Of street
cleaning as we'll as we could, and then
we asked for and received permission
from the city council to take charge of
six blocks of the main business street
for three months Then we introduced
the Waring system, the salient fea-
lures Of which are:
"First.-Sweeping the pavements by
hand with push brooms and collecting the
dirt into piles.
"Second. Immediately taking up each
pile of dirt and depositing 1t, with the
belp of a small hand broom and shovel
into bag suspended upon two Wheeled
bag carrier which the sweeper pushes
about with him.
.'Third.-Tving the bags when filed and
depositing them in convenient places In
alleys or along the street, to be removed
by wagon.
Fourth. The orderly or patrol
system, by which each man is given
definite portion of the street to keep clean
and is held responsible for this PORTION.
"Fifth.-A white uniform (of at least
white coat and hat or helmeD and wa
terproof outfit for rainy days.
"Sixth-Flushing the streets at stated
intervals-once q week-in the absence or
drenching rains
Eve secured carts, brooms, uniforms
for the men, and we made three neat
galvanized iron street cans, aluminium
painted and inscribed, For Waste Pa
per, Fruit Skins, ETC. We also succeed
ed in getting the council to pass an
antispitting ordinance. We took pho
tographs of all the filthy downtown
alleys and of the hideous refuse dumps
which disfgured our naturally be&utl-
ful river banks.
"On the appointed day we began all
along the line at once. The men be-
gan to seek the pavement, and after
they found it the fire department came
out at 3 O'Clock in the morning with
some secondhand hose and flushed the
streets under the direction Of the chair
man Of the women's committee. Dlt-
ferent ways Of flushing were tried on
successive mornings until the right
way was found-fushin9~without noz-
.zle from the middle of the street each
way and either bagging the storm
sewer entrances or statlonIng men
with hoes to keep the coarser dirt from
entering. Of course the best way to
flush is with patent street tiushlnS
machine which works with compress
ed air and which can be charged with
air as we'll as water at any street
hydrant.
"Our very attracti.e cans were
placed at intervals on poles along the
streets, and boys from our Junior
league distributed thousands Of little
dodgers like this:

School Gardens Create Taste.

The educational value Of the school
garden cannot be OyereStimated. What
we want to do is to teach the children
taste-Set taste into the child. get taste
into the household and then finally taste
into the cOmmunity-and when we have
done this we need not fear the results,
saws the Los Angeles Times. The lack
Of taste in the community generally is
an unfortunate fact, Notwithstanding
our grand school system, and may be
attributed in large degree to the
failure to. appreciate its necessity by
our educators. It is particularly pleas
ing to those most deeply Interested to
note low universal is becoming the
demand for school gardens. Reform in
many branches Of public Improvement
would he far easier of accomplishment
now mad the children Of the previous
generation been trained IN the funIa-
mental principles OF taste, the power
Of perceiving, appreciating and discov-
ering beauty and excellence. The more
we consider the curriculum OF our pub
lie schools, the more we perceive now
it coillI be improved to meet the chang
ing conditions OF our American life.
Our children need far more than the
three RS to fit them for citizenship as
it is drawing upon us. The atmosphere
and appurtenances Of the schoolroom
should tend to impart culture and
tastp which in turn are transferred to
the home and thus minister to the gen
eral upbuilding. One Of the surest and
best ways to accomplish this greatest
good to both school and home is to
carry at times the schooroom fgura-
lively. at least out into the pure and
elevating atmosphere and influence of
the. school garden.

Planting and Care Of Street Trees.

All planting of trees on streets should
be done by the town or by permanent
organizations authorized to carry on
the work, says the Los Angeles Times.
The poorer the soil the larger should
be the hole for the'tree. II convenient,
add rich soil. Spread the roots care
fully. Fill in with pulveriZed soil and
press into contact with the roots. Pro-
tect the tree with line Of wire netting
supported on three or four posts. 1t
adds to the expense, but pays in the
long run. But in the protection OF the
young trees don't forget to stir up civic
pride. Interest the whole town in the
Improvement clubs schemes. 1t is
right here that special celebrations
have their place Provide for the small
boy and enlist him If you can. 1t pays
better than to permit arrest or threat
en- with arrest. Don't permit telegraph
or telephone linemen to mutilate trees
or climb them with spikes. Secure the
passage Of ordinances forcing wires
and cables underground wherever prac-
ticable Telegraph and telephone masts
are. unsightly and interfere with all
schemes Of street improvement and

BOOMING HIS TOWN.
How Young Board Of Trade President
"Made Good" With the People.

Systematic town boosting is fea-
ture of American business activity
which aims at the general good instead
Of personal profit. One western town
had board of trade which had slept
along for years without doing anything
in particular, except eating some food
once a year at banquet and listening
to some spread eagle oratory, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. The organization
became moribund, and its presidency
was an honor no longer sought for.
The directors met and gave the place
to a young man of the type I'VE like to
encourag ge." The young man took MS
job seriously and went to work. 1t
wasn't long before he grew an idea Of
his own.
Every family that moved to town he
spotted. Employment was provided
for the breadwinners where necessary.
and the new people were made to feel
at home. When this personal atten-
ton had got in its work, representa-
tive Of the board of trade interviewed
the head Of the new family. This III
terview was incorporated into letter;
'mimeograph copies were made, put into
stamped envelopes ard made ready to
mail. TLen the letters were taken to
the newcomer. ard he was asked to
address them to his friends back
east" The scheme worked like magic,
and the population doomed. Of that
idea many new ones were born. The
young man has been several times re-
elected president Of the board Of trade.
and lie can have anything the people
Of that town can give him.

SCHOOL GARDEN RULES.
How a Massachusetts Institution Is
Manaued by Women.

A school garden in Watertown,
Mass, has adopted the following
rules, says the Los Angeles Times:
Be regular and punctual in attendance.
Keep garden orderly. Keep record
book correctly. Leave tools cleaned
and put away before going home. Be
courteous to all, and if absent or late
furnish excuse from parent or teacher.
If any one repeatedly breaks these
rules his relation with the school will
terminate. The classes meet twice
week-Wednesday after school and
Saturday morning--one hour each peri
cd. They will work in the gardens
through the summer vacation. If
pupil Is absent, q substitute Is sent.
Badges or pins Of green and white are
worn, telling garden. number and time
of class. Notebooks are kept, record
ing the temperature, attendance, date,
time of planting, plan Of garden and
any other notes they care to record.
When insects are found or birds
heard, questions are asked and notice
taken Of their habits, etc. During the
summer children will be taken in small
groups on short walks to hear the
voices Of nature The children already
give advice to parents, telling them the
best methods for planting cucumoerS
and beans and setting out tomato
plants. The parents and friends take
much interest, visiting the garden
while the children work, helping to
keep their notes correctly and the gar
den in good order. The Woman's club
pays the expenses and has the busl-
ness management Of the garden. They
have taken up the work in a most
satisfactory and helpful way.
