A SILLY SAYING.

''ft is common but silly opin
ion prevailing among a GER
tain class of people that the
worse remedy tastes, smells CT
hurts, the more efficacious it is.
So says a well-known English
physician. He further adds:
For example, let us consider
cod liver oil. AS it is extracted
from the fish this oil is so often
sive to the taste and smell that
many cannot use it at all, nc
matter how badly they need it.
Yet cod liver oil is one of the
most valuable drugs in the world
and it is the greatest pity that
we have not thus far been able
to free it from those peculiari-
ties which so seriously interfere
with its usefulness" This was
written years ago; the work of
civilizing and redeeming it has
since been triumphantly accom-
plished; and as a leading in
gredient In the remedy called

curative properties with no bad

THE UPPER
WAIMEA REGION
OF KAUAI OFFERS
Opportunity for Finest Outing Expeditions in the
World and an Unequaed Forest Reserve
and Reclamation District.

Judge Philip J. Weaver of the Court
of Land Registration has just returned
from a mountaineering trip in the
region of the headwaters of the Wal
mea River, Kauai. He is enthusiastic
over the beauty of the region, and the
opportunity it offers for. delightful and
bracing outings. He is not less en-
thusiastic over the possibilities this
region offers for a forest reserve and
a reclamation district that shall create
for many Americans to en-
gage in productive agriculture, such as
cane raising, with central mills for
grinding the cane. This region is all
government land that has been under
lease for many years. The leases expire
within a few years, giving free scope
to opportunity to develop the Territory
on American lines. OF his trip and the
region Judge Weaver says:
