WHO HAS LOST A GIRL?

A Hawaiian appeared at the police
station last night with the informa-
tion that he had picked up stray
white child, a girl about seven years
old. wandering alone and frightened on
Maunakea street and had taken the lit
tie one to his home for the night. No
inquiry had been made of the police
from any anxious parents, nor had any
notification of a lost child been given
them. The Hawaiian left his address
with the police and promised to bring
the little girl down to the station this
morning.

ECLIPSE SURVIVOR
IS UNDER ARREST

Andrew Holland, a Finn, one of the
survivors of the Eclipse wreck, is cer-
tain that he has sustained incnrable
injuries during the sixteen days he
struggled with the elements in the
ship long boat. The Eclipse was
struck by lightning and he survived;
for days he washed down his hardtack
with salt water, and still he kept his
head up; into his circle of vision came
rescuing ship, which passed him by,
but sill he struggled on, but one glass
of dago red, taken Saturday, laid him
low, put him to the bad, stretched
hiR over a barrel and landed him in
the tanks.

clothing on fire while playing with
matches and receiving a number of
horrible burns No one knows, except
the little sufferer. just how the acci-
dent took place, but the supposition
that the little one, who was playing
in the yard in front of the house, had
set fire to her own clothing is probably
correct.
Her screams attracted the attention
of a passing man and woman few
minutes after two o'clock The man
whipped off his coat and wrapped the
little girl in 1T to smother the flames
that encircled her. while with equal
presence of mind the woman took on
her skirt and used it as an added COW

burns and did what was possible. The
burns cover the entire left side and
back of the girl. and should she re-
cover at all, the saving Of her life, In

the man and woman, whose names

flames and prevented further injury
It has been learned that Chas. F.

so promptly. He was standing oppo-
site the High school when a boy sang
out: Look at the little girl, she is
burning" Mr.. Melvin ran, throwing
away an umbrella he carried, and
peeling off his coat wrapped it tightly
around the unfortunate child.
BY that time her clothes on one side
had been almost completely burned
off. The burns on her body and limbs
were fearful in extent and severity.

SOLDIERS Do
MORE DRILLING
National Guards Second Turn
out Shows Betterment in
Their Work.

The result of the steady work done
during the week by the different com
panies of the National Guard showed
plainly in their second inspection drill
yesterday at Kapiolani park, the men
swinging into their positions at the
word of command in a smarter manner
than on the previous Sunday, while the
officers seemed more certain of them
selves and better prepared to handle
their commands. 1t may have been that
some of the noticeable Improvement was
due to the decidedly better weather
prevailing, the day being an ideal one,
in comparison with the muggy damp
ness of the Sunday before.
There were mere men in line yester-
day, practically the whole strength of
the regiment being in position. The
work was very much the same as on
the former turnout, with the exception
that each company had to drill before
the other three and submit thir work
TO criticism.
Next Sunday will come the regular
annual inspection, to be done this year
by Major Dunning. The result of the
inspection viii be officially reported
to Washington and on the strength of
the showing win depend directly the
rating of the regiment at the War De-
partment and the amount of appropria-
tion assistance that viii be given. 1t
is in readiness for this inspection that
the men have been working SO hard
during the past two weeks, which work
will be kept up all through this week.
1t is not known officially as yet
where the inspection is to take place,
no orders having been issued, but it is
probable that it will be at Kapiolani
park, which has been proved the best
place for maneuvers.
Yesterday the marching was done be-
hind the band, which turned out with
the regiment for the first time since
it paraded before the members of the
Legislature in Aala park.

DR.. SCUDDER breaches
ON STORY OF CREATION

Rev. Doremus Scudder, DID,, preach
ed his sermon No. 8. on .OId Testa-
ment Topics" His text was In the
beginning God'-Genesis IL. The
preacher said:
The past one hundred years have
pushed the solemn significance of the
stately Hebrew word "B'reshith,' In
the beginning" untold ages into the
dark backward and abysm of time. !"
Our grandsires taking their chronology
from the Old Testament thought of the
beginning of things as a brief sixty
centuries ago. Today scientists have
split the ultimate atom of our child
hood, and find in a single atom of
hydrogen some 700 ions or .'elec-
trons," vibrating points of electric
energy; nay they even assert that the
word matter except for convenience
and for connection with the past has
outlived it's usefulness. If matter Is
to be resolved into force, since force
in Nature is but Gods will in opera
tfon, lin the beginning" carries us back
to the hour when God commenced to
exert His power in the form or after
the manner to which we give the name
matter. What was that? The universe
apprehended by our senses is no less
of reality because it is vibrating
force instead of inert substance. 1t is
effectively actual though ultimately it
may resolves itself into the unity,
Spirit. So Professor Hyslop says
Matter is Spirit" No wonder present
day scientific men have so little to
say about the probable age of the
material universe. 1t may be one form
of the eternal energy of God, without
beginning.
As with the world of our senses so
with man the beginning is steadily
receding. A century ago his origin
was dated at 1000 years before Christ.
But Prof. Petrie, the great archeofo-
gist finds Babylonia highly civilized
two thousand years back of that birth
date and Prof. Hilprecht discovers evi-
dence which leads him to conclude that
written records in that land reach as
far as 5000 years previous to our era.
Here the geologists come to the front
and while they are very cautious about
figures, Prof. Rice, speaking for con-
scholars, declares that the
irst appearance of paleolithic man in
Europe belongs to an antiquity meas
lred not by thousands of years on the
1ne hand, nor probably by hundreds
IF thouands on the other, but by tens
If thousands of years." Thus into the
lin past the story of origins steadily
has pushed its way.
Out of this hoary antiquity history
begins to crystalize about two centers, T

There never was season when the
styles lent themselves so readily to the
adaptation to faded dresses-cdds and
ends or remnants-as the present, SO that
when pretty, delicately colored frocks
lose their color in streaks or patches it
is quite unnecessary to relegate them TO
the rag bag. for the good parts may be
preserved, and combined with other ma
terials into effective garments.
For example. when a dress is dull. in
all probability it is also ready for a tub
bling. So before discarding 1t might be
an advantage to try washing the frock
Quite often colors are restored by thor
ough cleansing in water. AT any rate
there will be no risk in trying the tub
bling If the following advice is adhered to:
Soak the dress in salt water before put
ting it through the usual wash, if the
color is either pink or blue. For green's or
mauves use a weak solution of vinegar
and water. A teaspoonful of ammonia or
methylated spirits added to the last rims
ing water will often restore a faded color.
If starch is required it should never be
used hot Putting the dress twice through
the wringer is the better way.
Dry I'm the shade. and when still slightly
damp IRON If the starch has been made
very thin this task is not a difficult one,
and is much better plan than to dry the
starched garment first and then dampen
and roll before ironing. BY the latter
process the result is apt to be blotches,
streaks and unsightly spots.
While ironing keep a damp cloth wrung
out of hot water by the board. and with it
moisten places that get dry before the
ironing is completed.
Wash Dress in Hot Water.
Surprising the faded. streaked appear
ance is beyond restoration by this method
then the best plan will be to wash the
garment in hot water, which will probably
fade it all alike. When faded uniformly

Safe for Children:

But the delicious cooking-the con-
venience, the eoonomy-are facts of the
least Importance The greatest fact is
that children can safely drink Van
Camps.
Raw milk, like raw meat, is an unfit
food, because of the danger of germ in
lection. You will not give such milk
to your children after you know Van
Camps.
Van Camps, when drunk cold, has a
Slight almond flavor, due to sterilization.
This flavor itself is delicious. But it
means more than goodness. 1t means
that the milk is pure-that it is germ
less 1t means that a child can drink all
it wants without thought of infection.
A child cannot do that with raw milk.
Van Camps Milk comes in and 10
cent cans-at your grocers. One can is
sufficient to prove every claim. After
that, buy case or two at time, so as
to have it always on hand Grocers give
discounts on cases.

A Germless Milk.

Van Camps is germless milk.
Every COW is inspected-so are the
men who milk them. No tubercular
cows, no diseased milkmen, convey their
infections to Van Camps Milk.
Our diaries are sanitary. Our fac
tories. where the milk is evaporated, are
built without wood. We make a bust
ness of cleanliness.
Then the milk is sterilized after the
cans are sealed. Not germ of any kind
can remain in it.
Compare that with nilkman's milk.
A single germ, left in milk few
hours, breeds millions of others like it.
So there are myriads of germs in every
drop of raw milk.
If the COW is tubercular, there are
germs of consumption. If the milk cans
are washed in impure water, there are
germs of typhoid.
If the milkman is diseased, or the
dairy uncleanly, the infections are
bound to be conveyed in the milk.
A very large share of the illness in
the world is known to be due to milk
All of these dangers are wiped out
completely when home adopts Van
Camps Milk.

Whole, Rich Milk:

Van Camps is simply rich Holstein
milk, with two-thirds the water evap-
Grated Nothing is altered, nothing add
ed-no sugar, no starch, no preserva
tive
This is not like condensed milk,
which is half sugar. Van Camps is
nothing but milk.
Analysis will show about 80 per cent
of solids, of which per cent is butter
fat.
Compare that with milkman's milk.
Milk that stands awhile separates.
The butter fat rises and the solids fall.
SO you get one kind of milk from the
top Of the milk can-another when
served from the middle From no part
of the can do you get the whole milk.
That's why raw milk never gives in
cooking the favor you get from Van
Camps.
