LIGHT BOOZE
% You Drink It3

A minister's wife had quite a tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse while on night duty, I
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make tho
rounds, and 1t was quite natural that
I should want good. hot cup Of cof-
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and l could keep awake better.
After three or four years Of coffee
drinking l became a nervous wreck
and thought that l simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
I was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes SO severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
after being married, Husband
begged me to leave OF coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, SO resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
II began taking Postum, and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant, but I
liked the taste of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
Finally began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After .
years use Of Postum l now feel like q
new woman-have not had any bilious
attacks since left on coffee"

ably whatever the future might reveal
to our advantage.
It seems to us that interisiand in~
spection is essentially a county bust
ness. Counties should protect their
respective territories, especially since,
because of our geography and the con-
sequent need of an unproportionat0
number of inspectors. the chances that
the Territorial Government will be i'm
a position to undertake the work are
remote. County inspection is regu-
lar institution in California, and, to
our knowledge, valuable and satisfac-
tory. Whatever other officers tho
counties employ, they should have a
competent chronological inspector to
protect the county against invasion
from insect or fungus pests existing
in other counties and not in their own.
If we consider the horn fly (Haema-
tob;a serrata the most injurious insect
on these islands at present, the meioa
fly (Dacus cueurbitae> easily holds Sec
ond place. Indeed, If we realize what
boon cucumbers. melons, cantelopes,
etc, must have been to every man,
woman and child, rich or poor, on these
islands prior to the coming of this
pest, and how little we have to replace
them. the conclusion is inevitable that
so long as this fly is allowed to play
havoc unmolested the people will suf
fer q restricted variety of their vege-
table diet The habits of the fly are
such that it is impossible to check it
by ordinary means--if we consider
natural enemies extraordinary.
The fy doubtless reached us by way
of China or Japan, though IL is most
definitely known to exist in India. It's
economic status in the former coun-
tries is unknown But from correspond
enee with the Imperial Entomologist OF
India the writer has aseertained that
in India it is kept well in check by
variety of parasites and is therefore
seldom injurious. In his effort to com
bat fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata1 in
West Australia, the entomoiogist Of
that State after several attempts
claims to have finally succeeded in
and establishing there
several of these parasites Upon fbe
strength Of these facts the board adj
dressed the Minister of Agriculture of
West Australia a request for colonies
of these insects. This was the best
that could be done under limited APP
pronriation. But it is barely possible
we should get satisfactory results from
correspondence alone. The late Mr.
Graw always seoffed at these possIbii-
tiles. He maintained, and we are in-
elined TO agree with him, that moth
ing short Of detailing a competent en-
tomoIogisf to the field for mvestiga-
ton. discovery and shipment of likely
parasites wilt deliver us from this for
midable pest. I would respectfully
urge therefore upon the Governor and
Legislature of this Territory to give
this matter their earnest attention and,
if at all possible, provide liberal FUND
for this work. There IL no more cry
ing need in the Territory at present.

! Yesterday was the dullest day that
Honolulu S waterfront has had in a
long time, the steady down-pour of rain
putting stop apparently to any great
maritime activities. There was little
wind blowing during the day, but a
heavy surf, the white crest of which
could be seen from the front, hurled
itself furiously against the reef just
outside the harbor.
The Niihau and the Claudine, the
former arriving and the latter leaving
last night, were the only Inter-Island
boats which moved The Claudine had
a fair list of passengers and good
quantity of freight. The Niihau
brought in Honokaa sugar. She is now
lying at the American Hawaiian dock.
Tt was a day when the old salts gath
cred in the usual place to- tell yarns
of the days which are no more, and
down at the Ship Chambers there
were the familiar faces. Captain Quincy
told a number of good tales, and some
of them were SO interesting that they
seemed almost true.
Kukui Prepares for Trip.
The Kukui moved over to the coal
dock from her own wharf yesterday
morning, where she viii take on enough
coal for the trip around Hawaii, which
begins Monday. 1t is possibility that
this trip will be prosponed for a short
time on account of the bad weather.
This is not probable, however, for the
lighthouse tender win have quite a
cargo of supplies for the different sta
tions and these will be delivered as
soon as possible.
The Iroquois, the flagship of the local
II. s. fleet, came down off the ways
yesterday. She has been thoroughly
cleaned.
