This is really rheumatism of the
lied by severe, at times agonizing,
pain in the small of the back, allow
ing the sufferer scarcely a moments
rest, while the ailment is at it's worst.
1t can come from cold, exposure to
draft, from getting wet feet or wearing
wet or damp clothing. 1t causes acute
suffering, and if allowed to become
chronic, it may permanently disable
the sufferer. The way to secure quick
est relief is to redden the skin over
the painful part by rubbing with a
flesh brush or piece of flannel rag,
and then apply st. Jacobs Oil by gentle
friction with the hand.

IMPORTANT STEP
HAS BEEN MADE
PrOmOtionists Have Taken the
Initiative to Develop a
Home Market

The Promotion Committee made one
of the most important moves yesterday
that it has yet taken to develop the
prosperity of this island agricultural
lv. After a discussion of the subject,
brought up at the meeting by Presl-
dent Willard E. Brown, it was decided
to recommend rnaC an industrial agent
be appointed under salary from the
committee, the Chamber of Commerce
and the Merchants Association, the
agent to devote his time to working up
a market in Honolulu for produce To-
cally raised, to advise the farmers of
the island as to the requirements of
the market and generally to make 1t
his business to see that the million dol
lars or so that goes every year to the
mainland for produce that can be
raised here is turned back into the
pockets of local producers.
This is along the lines of the re-
peated recommendation of Frederick
H. Newell of the Reclamation Service,
who has told what has been the result
elsewhere of similar policy. The work
of the industrial agent at first will be
to work in the local market, then, if
the way proves clear, to branch out
into the mainland markets and seek
avenues of trade for Hawaiian pro-
ducers.
Mr.. Brown rather staggered the com
mittee members yesterday when he
presented statistics of imports of prod
uce, large portion of which could be
produced locally. The statistics had
been prepared by James Wakefield of
T. H. Davies & Co. The figures gave

requires comparatively few laborers,
but when the present plantations reach
the productive stage, quite a number
will be required and it will only be
just and equable that this industry
should work in harmony with the others
who are expeuding large sums in secur-
ing an adequate labor supply.
"The next few years will be the
most important and critical ones in the
development of this industry and [
would suggest to the members of this
association that they see to it that the
very best men possible be placed on
the Executive Committee of this organ
ization as that committee will neces-
sarily be an important factor in bring
ing to successful issue one of the
most promising of the diversified indus
tries of Hawaii. -
