MOTHERS

should know. The troubles with
multitudes of girls is want of
proper nourishment and enough
OF 1T. Nowadays they call this
condition by the learned name of
Anemia. But words change no
facts. There are thousands of
girls OF this kind anywhere be-
tween childhood and young LADY,
hood. Disease finds most of its
victims among them. Some of
them are passing through the
mysterious changes which lead
up to maturity and need especial
watchfulness and care. Alas,
how many break down at this
critical period; the story of such
losses is the saddest in the his
tory OF home. The proper treat
ment might have saved most of
these household treasures, if the
mothers had only known of
WAMpOLE's PREPARATION
and given it to their daughters,
they would have grown to be
strong and healthy women. It
is palatable as honey and con-
tains all the curative prop
critics of pure Cod Liver Oil,
extracted by us from fresh cod
livers, combined with the Com
pound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and the Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry. Search the
world over and you viii find
nothing to equal it. Taken be-
fore meals it improves the nutri-
tive value of ordinary foods by
making them easier to assimi-
late, and has carried hope and
good cheer into thousands of
darkened homes. The Abigail
kindergarten says: s. Your prep
aration is a sure cure for the
most violent cold, if properly
taken. In treating children. it
has proved in many cases under
orr observation a sure preven-
tive of the progress of pulmo-
nary affections, and has in every
case of incipient consumption
acted as a stay Of that dreadful
disease. It will not disappoint
yon. Sold by all chemists here.

ANCESTOR OF THE POTATO.

From which of the known species
of wild potato did the cultivated va
riety arise2 This question has long
puzzled botanists. 4 short time ago
potatoes equal to those Of commerce
were said to have been produced from
a wild variety in France; but it was
finally proved that these came. in fact,
from part of a cultivated tuber that
had been accidentally mixed with the
wild ones. More lately it has been
asserted that another wild species,
grown in the experiment gardens
of A. ". Sutton. of Reading. England,
has spontaneously shown properties re-
sembling those of the cultivated pota-
70. 1t has been thought that this
wild variety had perhaps been
accidentally crossed with the ordinary
tuber. or that, as in the case cited
above. it was not really wild species
but an escape from cultivation. Mi
croseopic examination of the pollen
grains, however, shows that these have
all the characteristics of the wild veg
etable. and it therefore seems probable
that we have here the ancestor of the
familiar Irish : potato, Special IN
terest attaches to this discovery be-
cause the wild species appears to be
immune to the potato disease. 1t may
thus be possible TO breed an edible
white potato that is much less sus-
ceptible to disease than the one that is
now grown.

THERE ARE too MANY
HOLIDAYS AS It IS

Editor Advertiser: AS retail mer-
chants doing business in Honolulu, we
wish to call the attention of the bust
ness members of the present Legisla-
ture to the bill, favorably reported by
the Military Committee yesterday, es-
tablishing February II and March II
as. legal holidays.
In view of the competition of ORR
entail merchants, we most decidedly
are opposed to the creation of any
more holidays than those at present
established by law or custom. It is a
well-known fact that the establish
ments of the Oriental merchants are
seldom if ever closed on any day other
than Sunday, and open often then, ca
tering to great deal of trade which
rightfully belongs to the white mer-
chants and which would be theirs were
their doors open for business.
As to the 18th of February, we
would call attention to the fact that
February has but twentythree business
days as it is, with one holiday; to add
another holiday would simply take
away one business day and add hol
luds "Hieh no ohe souiu ehJos dHu
which would seldom if ever be fitting
ly observed.
The attention of the Fourth District
members of the House is especially
called to this measure and protest
against same, for they are, without ex
ception, business men who will bt
quick to see the uselessness of sucl
holidays, while no one, it seems to US
can logically urge their creation. Yours
truly, BUSINESS.
