POI THEIR STAFF OF LIFE.
1t Is to Hawaiians What Bread Is to
the Rest of the World.

IT Is to Hawafians What Bread Is to
the Rest of the World.
What bread is to the American or
European poi is to the native Hawai-
Ian. No meal is complete without 1t
and for the great majority of the ma
tives 1t forms the principal article Of
diet
Pol Is made from a tuberous root
about the size of large sweet potato
1t is first baked and afterward pound
ed up with water until a smooth paste
is obtained, much resembling a wheat
-four paste, except that the color is
pale pink or purple.
This paste is allowed to ferment
slightly and is then ready for use. For
merly each family prepared It's own
pol, the work being done by the men.
as IN fact. were most other cooking
operations. Poi factories. in which ma
chinery grinds and mixes the material.
have largely supplanted the old meth
cd.
Many of the white residents of the
Islands eat poi to almost the extent OF
the natives, but the taste is largely ac-
quired, and strangers seldom care for
1t. Poi has high food value. accord
ing to Health Culture, and, since II
formed the principal food of the old
Hawaiians, some persons credit 1t with
the splendid physical development OF
the race.
Pol was always eaten from wooden
bowls or calabashes and was conveyed
to the mouth by the fingers, one, two
or three being employed, according to.
the consistency of the food, which fact
establishes a designation of one. two.
or three finger poi. White poi eaters
now usually employ fork or spoon In
lieu Of fingers, although It is still com
mon even in the highest families TO
give native dinners, or Tuaus." at
which knives and forks are tabooed
and only fingers used.
There is as much etiquette among
the Hawaiians IN eating with the fin
gers as with modern table implements.
and the graceful motion by which n
portion of poi IS twisted up on the fin
gers and transferred to the mouth
would not shock the sensibilities of the
most refined. An invitation to real
luau, at which poi, baked pig. fish
baked in leaves and cocoanut In va
rious forms are the chief features Of
the menu, is an experience which every
visitor TO Hawaii sincerely covets.

years ago."
Elinor wished, now that she had
promised to do It, that she had not
asked It. Suppose a storm should come
up and the waves should dash over the
rock and sweep him Off and-and he
was not able to swim far enough to
reach shore

But Jack would not pass over the
century so quickly. He would do as
she had asked him. he would spend
the night on the big rock. and then she
might believe.
Elinor sat in the window Of their
summer cottage on the shore and
watched the tide come in. wave by
wave. One by one the shadows fell,
and the figure out on the rock became
less and less distinct. At last she had
to go out to the beach to see 1t at all
Higher and higher grew the water
mark about the rock, and yet the figure
did not move; 1t sat on the topmost
point, looking out over the sound.
At last 1t was too dark to see the
figure on the rock. and Elinor walked
up and down the beach in front Of the
cottage. She was supposed TO have re-
tired. but somehow 1t seemed so useless
to pretend to sleep.
She wondered IL the ladies In the
centuries long ago slept on as usual
while their knights were In Hanger.
oh. she wished tomorrow would come
when she might live again In the
twentieth century
The searchlight of a passing cruiser
was thrown on the rock, and by its
light she could see the waves break
about the ragged edges.
Running close to the waters edge,
she looked up and down for skifr
one of the old fat boats she and Jack
so often fished in. Finding one far
up on the shore. she dragged it down
to the water and jumped In.
Stroke by stroke she pulled out to-
wards the big rock. but the tide was
strong and the. boat heavy. 1t seemed
hours before she came near It.
"Jack. Jack !" she called. Tin
Oh, it's such hard pulling"
"Elinorl" was all Jack said, as he
took hold of the rope with one hand
and hers with the other The place
was not nearly so rough as it had
looked from a distance.

replied, still standing on the rock.

Bank for Glendale.

A move is on foot to establish bank at Glendale, Maricopa county. The amount of the capital stock was first placed as paid up to the amount of $l0,- 900, but the matter of making it dou- ble that amount is being considered. w. II. Slaughter, a resident of the Glendale section, is one of the packers of the new institution and the other stockhold. CTS will be local investors and citizens of Glendale. The resumption of the beet sugar factory has given an i'm petus to all lines of activity in that fertile portion of the Salt river valley, land has gone up in value, lots have been in good demand, and many new residents are among the population. The bank is the natural result of prosperous growth, and there is no doubt very good field for one at Glendale now.

Night School for Bisbee.

Plans have been on foot for some time to establish night school in Bis bee for the boys and girls who are past the compulsory age, which is put at IA in this territory. It is we'll known fact, says the Review, that stu dents are often forced to giv up school at this age and help earn their liveli- hood, and are thus deprived of high school work. In regard to the needs of this class of students it has been made possible to meet their demands. The night school will be opened about Janu- ary IS. A special teacher has been em. ployed for this work, and will arrive from Chicago in time to take charge of the classes. Bookkeeping, stenography, typewriting and a business course of arithmetic will be taught.

SAM WEBB WILL
 BE NEXT SPEAKER
AND HUNT PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL, THE WAY IT LOOKS
 JUST AT PRESENT. .

Preparatory to the meeting of the legislature on January 18th, force of cleaners has been put to work shining up the legislative halls at the Capitol building, says the Phoenix Gazette. Soon these will be the scene of law making activity and forensic enter prises.
 According to the latest dope, Sam Webb has the speakership of the assem- ply in the palm of his hand, and Geo. F. Hunt the presidency of the council. Since the candidacy of J. w. Woolf for the former berth has been announced, it is said that the Maricopa delegation will have majority of standpatters for Webb, and that Mir. Woolf's case is hopeless. Much as they appreciate his capabilities, he will receive no sup port.
 John Robinson ofo Yavapai for chief clerk of the assembly and Mulford Winsor for the council clerkship is the present slate, although a scrap is brew ing which may involve the speakership.
 Some of the legislators have already reserved quarters at hotels and private places and many of them will come in early next week. At the same time the supreme court will convene and the city will be livelier than ever.

Cutting Down Fees.

The fee bills of the various justices of the peace and constables in all of the precincts of the county, for the last quarter of last year, have been held up for payment until the 18th inst, at which time the board of supervisors will act on the claims, says the Bsbee Review. The bills at the present time are in the hands of District Attorney Williams, who has begun the yielding of the blue pencil and the bills will look like thirty cents when they come to be acted upon by the board of super visors. It is no doubt the intention of District Attorney Williams to endeavor to cut down the annual expense of the justice courts of the county, which last year amounted to $53,000. but as have been allowed all over the territory. The trouble is not with the justices, as they only put in claims allowed by the law, but the fault lies with the law in allowing them. The only remedy is to place the justices and eonstables on a salary basis.

 of pr. Shoop's Restorative. In five or ten days only the result will sur. prise you. A few cents will cover the cost. And here is why help comes so quickly. Dr. Shoop doesn' drpg the Stomach, nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. Dr. Shoop's Restorative goes directly to the weak and failing nerves. Each organ has it's own controlling nerve. When this nerve fails the de. pending organs must of necessity fsl- ter. This plain, yet vital truth, clearly tells why Dr. .Shoop's Restorative is so universally successful.
