HONOLULU WOMEN ARE FINDING
RELIEF AT LAST.

It does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and

keep up" must attend to duties in
spite Of constantly aching backs, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down
pains; they must stoop over, when to
stoop means torture. They must walk
and bend ana work with racking pains
and many aches from kidney ills. Kid
news cause more suffering than any
other organ Of the body. Keep the
kidneys well and health is easily main
talned. Read Of a remedy for kidneys
only that helps and cures the kidneys
and is endorsed by people you know
Mrs. Emma yieira, Of King street,
Honolulu, says: For three or four
wears I had the misfortune to be az
ficted with an aching back The pain
and discomfort this entailed on me can
be better imagined than described,
have TWO children, and It was Of course
difficult for me TO attend 70 them
while oppressed with suffering. The
wav in which 1 found relief eventually
was by using Doan's Backache Kidney
pills. procured at the HOllister Drug

LADYBIRDS HERE
Some Valuable Insects Sent by
Prot. koebele From

Scale eating Ladybirds" and
Black . scale We're the subject of a
very interesting report made by jacob
kotinsly, the Assistant Entomologist
of the Board of Agriculture and For
estry, at the meeting yesterday after
noon Regarding them he said:
From among the four species OF
beneficial insects received from Mr.
Koebele some time ago and reported to
the Board, We succeeded in releasing
very few of one Of them. the remainder
of that species having died, and no fur
Their laboratory breeding is carried on;
another is still alive and feeding, bat
as yet no young brood was observed;
the third is Iadybird thar feeds on
well-known scale bug. 1t was some
time before a young brood made its APP
pearanee, hut few weeks ago it was
recognized, and comparatively large
numbers are now being fed in the
laboratory. Finally, the fourth, one
that | want to speak of particularly
was the first TO produce large number
of young on the food supplied them. 1t
was sent by Mr. Koebele under the name
of Azya luteipes, from Mexico, where
he found it feeding on the group of
scale bugs known as brown scales,
or Leeaniids This is a group of scale
pretty well taken care of by natural
! enemies with which Mr.. Koebele has
stocked the country during the past if
. teen years Nevertheless, we succeed
ed in locating a large colony on which
to feed the ladybird. 1t does not seem
to be fastidious about the species, pro-
vided it is one of those that, until about
five years ago, was grouped under the
genus Leeanium. We have fed the
1adybird on Coceus longulus, Saissetia
hemIsphaerica. ), nigra and G. acumI-
natus About 100 specimens in the
larval and adult stages were released
in various portions of the city. At the
earliest. opportunity a colony will be
sent 70 Bro. Matthias Newell for Ioca-
tion at Hllo, since he would know a
Lecanium colony when he sees it. As
to the other islands, while we should be
very glad to send colonies, we will have
to depend upon some resident to send us
specimens of what he thinks is one Of
this group of scale bugs, and if his sur
mize is correct and the strength of the
scale colony justifes it colony of the
1advbird will be sent him.
Z The Board will doubtless be inter
aested to learn that we have recently
discovered large colony of Scutellista
Is. cyanea), that efficient enemy of
Black scale in California. This
parasite was introduced into the Ter
ritory in 1905, bred in confinement for
a while, and then released in consider
able numbers by Mr.. Craw and the
writer, principally upon our Hibiscus
black scale IS. nigra). Now it has
been bred in large numbers out of the
Hemisphaerieal scale on Ixora, and has
also been observed on the black scale

CONGRESS Is BUSY WITH
BIG SUPPLY MEASURE

Washington, March 2.-Supply meas
ures will continue the chief subject
under consideration in congress this
week. Having postponed last week the
time for asking the senate to fix q
date for vote on his emergency cur
rency bill, Senator Aldrich is not hope
full of bringing the measure to an is
sue before the second week in March.
The delay is not due so much to the
Democrats who oppose the measure,
as to Republicans who favor it. Some
of them have recently developed de-
sire to speak on the bill, and as they
require time for preparation, postpone
ment of the final vote is necessary.
1t is expected that the legislative ex-
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill
will be reported early in the week and
will be taken up for consideration by
the senate.
The house will continue to give the
major portion of its time to considera-
ton of the appropriation bills. The
peonage resolution authorizing the i'm
migration commission to investigate
labor conditions in the southern states
will receive attention today.

Tennyson's Cynicism.


Sir We're de We're was the eldest son
Of Sir Aubrey de We're, the soAneteer
and friend of Wordsworth. His BROTH
er, Aubrey de We're, was a more than
well known, a famous poet, and to him
in his youth Walter Savage Lander
addressed the exhortation:
Make thy proud name still prouder FOX
thy sons.
He had no sons, however, never hav-
ing married. Neither had his brothers,
We're and Stephen. Thus the name. az
a family name, disappears.
The De Veres were early friends OF
Tennyson's, and it was from them that
the poet took the name which he mads
proverbial and symbolical Of a class
"the caste Of We're de Vere" Lady do
We're, the only Lady de We're OF fact
then living, was inclined to complain
that her name should be bestowed upon
the black hearted Lady Clara Of fiction.
Tennyson wrote dainty verses, but
was not master Of dainty manners. He
erowled: "Why should you care? But
Of course you don't. I didn't make
your namesake ugly, and didn't make
her stupid. only made her wicked.

REDUCTION OF SALOONS
IN GREAT BRITAIN

London, Feb. 29.-Chancellor of the
|Exchequor Asquith introduced the IL
censing bill in the house of commons
Thursday. This is the principal gov
eminent measure for the present ses-
sion of parliament and involves vast
money and the labor interests. The
capital invested in licensed property in
his country is not less than 81, zoo, 00O,-
90, while over, 1000. 900 people are en-
|ployed in the traffic.
Briefly the bill provides for the COM
lpulsory reduction within a specified
period and on uniform scale of the
number of regular saloon licenses
throughout the country. The bill pro-
poses that this reduction be effected
within twenty years. The system of
compromising those entirely deprived
of their licenses is to lapse after a
period of fourteen years from the time
the act goes into force, and an end
hus will be put to the vested interests
| n license.
Chancellor Asquith's bold and dras-
tic licensing bill is raising storm of
|denunciation in the opposition press.
Mr.. Balfour gave his party a lead in
a brief speech -stigmatizing the meas
ure as robbery" The tremendous
trength of the brewing interests
throughout the country will be brought
to bear in an endeavor to prevent the
passage of the bill or to obtain an ex-
ensive amendment, especially in the
direction of securing a longer time
INIT than fourteen years. which is re-
arded as likely to inflict serious in
ury to the interests of the sharehold-
rs of the brewing companies.
