those who are selling poi have adopt
ed the contemplate trick of taking
planks out of the kegs and tS>yls Ttak-
ing them smaller; this, in addition
to swelling the poi with yeast, is
making it appear to be more than it
really is, so that actual Weighing
will develop the fact that Hawaiians
who buy their poi of large num-
Der of dealers are paying five cents
a pound for the staff of life.
THE Waterhou0e Company's poi
plant in Kalihi, however, is selling
honest, clean, perfect poi at a rea-
sonable rate; at thre cents a pound
to the retail trade ar t Two and a
half cents a pound, think it is, to
the wholesale trade.
There's another matter in regard
to this poi manufacture, tNt needs
to be diligently searched instantly
in my opinion, and that is the matter
of cleanliness in manufacture. The
tpOI consumers may be assured that
we will spare no pains to purify the
poi product"
The man who will undertake the
burden of the work of reform in the
vital matter of pure poi, the man
who is even now girding himself for
the fray against the adulteration and
short weight of the Hawaiian food
staple, is the City and County Physi
clan, Dr. Bruce McV. MackaJ.

blow so that it is always pleasant.
The ride by auto is one of the de-

taken by nearly all tourists who come
here. Meals at Haleiwa are a pleas

the quality of cooking and the SER
vice.
