D|SPENSARY
WAS PLANNED
kahuku Plantation Wants to
Control Liquor Business
in New Way.

practical prohibition proposition
was made at the meeting of the License
Commissioners yesterday afternoon by
Andrew Adams, manager of the Ka
huku plantation, his idea being the es-
Enlistment of dispensary at the plan
tation, run by the plantation, and the
profits to be turned back to the labor
ers in the shape of improved cottages
and camps Had it been clear that the
dispensary would have served others
outside the plantation, the idea would
probably have been favored by the
Board. This was not to have enforced
total abstinence but enforced sobriety,
whatever drinking there had to be, to
be of pure liquor, served by one with
out any object in getting his custom
ers drunk and dispensed under planta
ton auspices This is practically the
South Carolina idea on a small scale.
Mr.. Adams protested against the IS
suing of renewal of a wholesale Ii
cense at Kahuku, stating that if his
protest was needed he would himself
be an applicant for a retail license. In
explanation of this seemingly selfish
| course he wrote:
Since the population in this part
| of the district of Koolauloa is almost
exclusively made up of employees of the
| Kahuku Plantation Company, this COM
pany will protest against the issuance
of license to sell Intoxicating liquors
| to any person whatsoever not endorsed
~ Nv,
| Quoting a dispensary is that the liquor
| traffic may be controlled by US. 1t is
| our intention to employ a reputable
man to conduct the dispensary, which
! would be open during few hours OF
the day and evening only. During the
/ balance of the day this man would be
] employed as a sanitary inspector, and
would also guard against the illicit sell
ing of liquor in the plantation camps.
| 1t is our intention to sell only the best
| liquors and to have no open bar. The
| profits, if any, by vote of the directors
| of the Kahuku Plantation Company,
are to be devoted to the identifying of
dwellings and the camps. Our sole pur-
| pose in seeking to control the liquor
traffic at this place is to prevent in
| toxication and to encourage temper
ance. 1t is not the intention of this
company to insist upon total abstinence,
since we believe that the individual
has the right to determine whether or
not he shall use intoxicating liquors. y
The renewal which Manager Adams
protested against, however, was grant
ed the conditions in the section being
peculiar. Between Heeia and Waialua
there is only the one license, his whole
sale license allowing him to supply the
district. Since the granting of this Ii
cense, it is stated, whole drove OF
blind pigs have been killed off. The
dispensary could not have filed tn,
place of the wholesale shop. Conse
5 quently an excellent idea can not bt
developed.

AMBITION,

Are Impossible Without Rich. Red
Eood-A Detroit Woman
Expresses an Opinion.

The tonic treatment with DR.. Will
hams' Pink Pills for ran-down condi-
lions of the health is based on sound
medical principles and on common
sense. More and more men and
women are beginning to realize that
pure, red blood means health and that
the efficiency of any tissue or organ
is entirely dependent upon the quality
of the blood.
There are thousands Of people, who
are without ambition or strength to do
their days work and who are always
tired out, have but little appetite and
poor digestion, cannot get refresh
ing nights sleep and are subject to
headaches, backaches and nervousness
because their blood is impure.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills give quick
relief and permanently cure such men
ana women because they purify and
build up the blood to it's normal strength.
AS the blood becomes pure and red it
strengthens the muscles, tones up the
nerves makes the stomach capable of
digesting the food and repairs the
wastes caused by growth and work
Mrs. George Morgan, of No. lis
Twenty-third street, Detroit, Mich,

Not Difficult TO AVoid
Getting Juice on Hands

When pairing the vegetable # is neces-
sary to hold it in the hand, but it is
not difficult to form the habit Of point
ing the knife blade downward, so that
the juice may run off at the point.
When this is not possible, watch the
knife blade. and when it has on it an
accumulation Of juice wipe the blade
on a damp cloth which you keep at
hand.
II You are deft with your hands you
VIII know by instinct that you need
not put down the vegetable you are
holding in your other hand 10 do this,
but may simply pass the blade over
the cloth, turning it on both sides, and
then begin your pairing again, having
lost hardly a second.
In sHcing, Guartering, and dicing vege-
tables 1t is not necessary, II you have
a small cutting-board, to hold them
in your hand
Steady them upon the board, and use
the knife without touching the blade.
