! GOOD WAY TO USE
HYOMEI


Besides breathing through the in
haler a few times day, many catarrh
suffering write that they find inhal-
ing Hyomei from bowl of steaming
water each night before retiring a
great aid in curing stubborn cases.
Try it; it's very simple; gives quick
relief and makes you breath easier.
FIJI a bowl half full of boiling
water: pour into the wafer half
teaspoonful of Hyimei, cover head and
bowl with a towel and breathe through
nose and mouth the medicated anti
septic and healing vapor that arises.
This method relieves that STIFFNESS
at once and makes your head feel
clear.
You can get bottle of Hyomei at
druggists everywhere or at Wilkinson
e. Co. for only 50 cents. Ask for ex-
ira bottle Hyomei Inhalent.
But bear in mind If you want a
Hyomei inhaler you must buy com.
plete outfit which only costs s1.00
But as stated before; if you already
own an inhaler a bottle of Hyomei
costs but so cents.
Hyomei is guaranteed by druggists
everywhere and by Wilkinson & Co

This contractor got results.

Some years ago a contractor build
ing railroad in a warm climate was
troubled great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and we're
drinking water from a stream near by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount Of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity Of Quaker Oats fed to the
men. -
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oahneal water with
their drinking water. Almost instantly
all signs Of stomach disorders passed
andhis men showed a decided improve
mentin strength and spirits. This con-
tractor had experience that taught him
the great value Of good oatmeal. s.

HOME RULE FOR
HAWAII DISTRICTS
Plan Being Worked Out to Divide
County of Hawaii Into Three
Separate Counties.

There is a possibility that the pres.
ent County of Hawaii will be split into
three counties when the legislature
meets. During Governor Frears tour
of the Big Island, the matter was
brought to his attention by many of
the advocates of the plan and the rea-
sons they laid before the Governor
have brought him back to Honolulu a
three-county advocate
The idea is to place those districts
with community of interest under
their own little government but not
to give each one an elaborate govern
ment. To combine efficiency with
economy is the proposal and the scheme
has the backing of many who were
vigorously opposed to the two county
scheme attempted in the last legisla-
ture by Representative Kawewehi of
Kona.
"The plan has much to commend it, -
says Governor Frear. "The proposal is
to make Kohala one county, to unite
the two Konas and Kau as the second
county, and Pupa, Hilo and Hamakua
as the third, this being the natural
division. These small counties do not
require any big system of government.
If each had board of supervisors of
three members, say, those three would
not cost the taxpayers any more than
the members they now send to the pres.
ent board, while their work would deal
with their own districts entirely. Each
county would have to have its sheriff,
treasurer and auditor, but there would
be need for no deputies, as at present,
except for the deputy sheriff.
each of the three districts men
toned has its own problems. On the
Kona side there would not be so much
money in taxes, but to correspond with
this there is not the same road expense
as on the Hamakua side. The Kohalas
form district by themselves, with lit
tie interest with the rest of the island,
The matter will probably be up before
the Legislature, at any rate, and sug.
gested to the supervisors while 1 was
in Hilo that they prepare county data
to submit to the legislature when the
bill is under discussion. At the present
time the law compe!s each county to
file a financial statement with the ter
ritorial government, and my suggestion
is that the County of Hawaii go further
and submit detailed figures of expenses
and revenues, segregating the figures of
the different districts.
