recipes and prepared the luncheon. There
were alfalfa biscuits, light in texture,
delicate and palatable, made with
slight admixture of wheat -four. Finally
there was alfalfa tea-the actual fluid
brewed from the leaves of the alfalfa
plant. One was not compelled to drink

beverage for human use, though it has

value as a stock food and would prob

show what could be done, and to exem-

The Doctor stated that he had found
the proposition highly profitable one
for growing pigs. The following figures
are quoted from memory, but they can
be verified by anyone interested by
addressing DR.. w. X. Sudduth, Billings,
Montana. He stated that he fed, exclu-
sively, alfalfa tea, with sufficient admix-
ture Of bran or shorts to make thin
mash or soup, to growing pigs, from the
time they were weaned till they were
seven months old, at which age they
weighed 1876 pounds each, and he further
stated that the total cost of producing
the porkers was about $500 per cwt.
The profit of such scheme of stock
feeding needs no argument The tea"

watts and drawing off the liquid.

referred to, the writer stated that he had

the human race is rapidly approaching
an era of food shortage due to the ex-
haustion of the resources of the soil,
but that when he saw such demonstra-
ton of what can be done in the prepara-
ton of human food from one of the
greatest staple crops of the Northwest.
and tasted the products, his optimism
received great upift, and if the
luncheon to which we had been so gen.
erously served was an earnest of future
possibilities, he could see no reason for
pessimstic forebodings lest the worlds
supply of food should become exhausted.
The increased cost of living is a aues-
ton that has forced itself upon public
attention with an insistence that is
nearly, if not quite, irresistible. How
far supply and demand control the ele-
ments of cost in our daily food account
is question that economists must deal
with. but even layman can see that
if there is an increase in population
without corresponding increase in food
production, by and by there must come
a time of actual scarcity in the food
supply. The writer is not one of those
who think that the limit of productivity
of the soil has been reached or is likely
soon to be reached. Neither does he
think that human ingenuity has any
where near reached it's limit in devising
means of making greater use of the
natural products we now have. More
will be produced as we learn better
methods of agriculture, and more effec-
tive uses will be found for the products
of the earth as demand of an increasing
population requires.

DECORATION DAY WAS
OBSERVED IN EACH Of
THE CITY CEMETERIES
(FrOm Wednesdays Advortisor.)

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
Decoration Day" observanees yes
terday were not confined to the vet
Grams or to the soldiery. In each of
the several cities of the dead in Homo
lulu reverent hands placed floral
wreath or cross or lei upon the graves
of those departed, until each cemetery
was carpeted with bright, blossoms.
Even unmarked graves of the unknown
dead came in for their share of the
flowers and scarcely one mound re-
mained undscorated last night.
Some of the decorations were mag.
ni6cent; others were pitiful in Their
meagerness, but all served the one pur.
pose. Throughout the whole day con,
slant stream of people could be seen
coming and going from the graves.
The plumaria trees, planted through
out the cemeteries, added their tribute.
just at this time of the year they are
in fall blossom and the heavy scent
of the waxlike flowers stirred as in.
cense across mound and tomb, while
the wind blew the full blossoms to the
ground and in many places the plots
were covered with them. Many of the
decoration schemes worked out ON the
graves were made from these flowers
One of the noticeable features of the
occasion was that hardly any Of the
graves lay neglected. In some of the
plots there was nothing to mark the
fact that someone slept there except
that a wreath of flowers had been laid
thereon.
At Kawaiahao the decorations were
extensive. Although there were not so
many visitors, the graves at the Roman
Catholic and Makiki cemeteries were
all decorated. Some of the designs
were simple, while others showed that
special loving care and thought had
been given to the preparation.

MELBOURNE, Australia, May 81
A sensational speech was delivered here
last night by Hon. William Morris
Hughes, attOrney-general in the cabinet
of the Commonwealth and at present
acting as premier in the absence of the
Hon. Andrew Fisher, the acting premier
declaring that Australia stood ready to
defend her title Of 'sWhite Australiau
against japan and would apply the
anti,Japanese immigration laws with
force, if necessary.
The speaker, commenting upon the
fact that Great Britain is an allv of
japan and that laws restricting the
movement of Japanese to and from
British territory had previously been
declared ultra wires by the British col.
onial secretary, declared that Australia
was now ready to question the jurisdic.
ton of Downing Street over the inter.
nal affairs of any portion of the EN-.
pire possessing autonomous powers and
was also prepared to leave the Empire
altogether if such thing had to be.
Australia would not consent to the en-.
try of Japanese, be the cost what It
might.
The radical statements of the official
were received with tumultuous cheera
from the thousands who listened.

CARB0NIC ACID SNOW
TREATMENT RESULTS
IN A SECOND SUCCESS

Joe, a Hawaiian boy about fifteen
years of age, who has been under
treatment by DR.. ]. t. Wayson at the
Kalihi Receiving Station for some time,
is the second leper to be pronounced
as cured within the past two weeks.
meteorological tests now show no
signs of the presence of the baeilli of
leprosy and he coald now pass an ex-
animation as free from leprosy and be
discharged. Doctor Wayson, however,
prefers to keep the boy at the station
under observation, and the boy being
willing, he will remain there until the
physician concludes he is in readiness
to face the world, clean.
This boy was given the same treat
ment used in the first cured case an
nounced couple of weeks ago. Gear
bolic acid snow" was used throughout
and practically the same course of
treatment was followed with like re-
suits. When the boy was first taken
to the station he had leprous sores ON
the face and on his legs. These have
all disappeared and new skin, slightly
lighter in color than the surrounding
cuticle, has replaced that "burnedS ,

HONOLULU KEEPS
RIGHT ON GROWING

The steady growth of the city during
the past twelve months is shown stril1-
ingly in the figures given in connection
with the new Polk.Husted Directory, to
be issued from the presses Of the Ha-
waiian Gazette Company within few
days. The Oahu section of the book is
now complete and the pages relating
to the other islands are being run of
and carted to the bindery, the expecta-
tioR being that the completed volumes
will be on sale on Monday next.
The Oahu section for 1911 contains
three thousand four hundred more
names of residents than the directory
of last year, giving total for this
island of 25,l26. Using the multiple
generally employed to secure a popula-
tion figure from directory totals-three
and one-quarter-it is seen that the
figure for this island is S1,659, which
includes none OF the plantation laborers
The official census figures for this
island, secured last year, give the total
population, plantation laborers and all,
at 81 1893.
R. w. Robinson, the superintendent
OF the directory work in Hawaii, in
discussing the 1911 directory, states
that in the recent canvass made of the
city 1t was extraordinary how few va
cant stores or houses were found, the
number being less than ten per cent
of those usually found by directory can
vassers. Not only were empty houses
extremely scarce, but the number of
| new buildings going up, especially
throughout the suburbs, was found to
be especially large. In this respect,
Kaimuki led, but is being given a close
run for first place in the matter of new
residences by Kalihi.
Mr.. Robinson is well satisfied with
his work this year and believes that the
| 1911 directory will show a number of
improvements over those of former
years. He looks upon the volume as
something in the line of good promo
tion work, also.
Zone good advertiser in q community
is worth more for promotion purposes,
than all it's millionaires, philosophers
and philanthropists, he says. "He
will tell the people and the world more
about the place and bring to it more
money and employment than all the
others combined. A place is known
more by its bustling men and its ad-
vertised business houses than by any
thing else. Who would have ever known
of Stratford-on-Avon if it had not been
for Shakespeare, the best advertised
man who ever lived in England.
I" A city that supports a good direc-
tory will give the same support and
prosperity to all it's institutions; one
who is looking for location will Judge
wisely if he selects city that has
well patronized city directory. 1t is
an infallible evidence of intelligence,
thrift and general success and pros
perity. The standard of life in such
communities is always high and the
people all live well and prosper"

.DOLE'S TRIP TO
Be GUT SHORT
FEDERAL BUILDING SITE SUIT
WAITING FoR Hn6
NOW.
BY Ernest q. walker,
tMaIl Special to The AayertIser.l

WASHINGTON, May 1o.-1t looks as
though the condemnation proceedings
at Honolulu for the new public build.
ing were hung up for several months
till Judge Dole returns to duty. That
is tho way it seems to George Mex.
Mcclellan who has been consulting with
officials here at Washington about the
status.
He has had a talk with Attorney.
General Wickersham about the matter
and the law governing the detail of
another judge to act at Honolulu has
been studied. The decislon Of the de.
partment is that there is no law for
sending a federal judge from California
to Honolulu. The statute for transfer.
ing federal judge from one circuit to
another is held not to apply to Homo
lulu because the federal judges for Ha-
waii are named for term of years
and are in a different category from
those on the mainland.
Attorney Wickersham regrets
the delay that is made inevitable by
the disability of Judge Clemons to act
in this particular condemnation case but
has told Mr.. Mcclellan that he will
not extend Judge Dole's leave. That
means Judge Dole will be back in Ho.
nolulu by early October. He had init.
mated to the department that he might
ask for an extension.
