A WORD TO
WOMEN ON
HEALTH

Women are generally careful about
the state of their health. and they are
apt to make good use of remedies
known as disease preventives. Germ
icides and antiseptics are included in
this class. but the greatest care should
be exercised in using any which con-
tain poisons, unless prescribed by a
physician.
BY reason of its absolute safety and
it's beneficial results, physicians have
strongly recommended Tyres Anti
septic Powder. 1t is unequaled as a
preventive of contagious disease. heal
ing diseased tissues, ulcers and deli
cate membrane passages, and ideal as

great weight off the shoulders and
minds OF the little tots.
A number Of young boys not yet in
their teen, who are receiving in
struction outside .: school, decided
that they wanted TO remember their
instructor at Christmas time. One
DAY last week they visited a jeweler
IN a body and selected a scarf pin,
and taking up collection among
themselves, made the purchase. Now
that pin is being passed around
smong the mothers of the little
chaps, and so far not one WORD of dis
approval has been uttered for the de-
sign was simple, and its symbol
friendship-seems to have pleased the
mothers as well as 1t appealed to
the boys. =..
These little fellows did not make
the purchase without thought, but
discussed the matter fully, and when
they had made their decision, hest
tated no longer. And they will prob
ably enjoy the giving of that present
more than any which their mothers
have purchased without their knowl-
edge and cooperation.
One OF the mistakes often made by
mothers is the manner in which they
ignore their children when 1t is time
to buy Christmas presents. or course,
ii would be very nard for a woman
10 take her children with her every
time she visited the stores, but she
could set aside one day for the selec-
ton of the children's gifts. On this
excursion the little ones should be
allowed to voice their own taste. and
whenever possible they should DO al
lowed to make some of the { pur-
chases. A child is never happier

Returns to Lihue from Haena
and viii Exhibit Here
in January

Otto Wix, the celebrated artist, re-
turned to Isihue last week from his
lonely vigil at Haena and Hanalei,
where he has spent several months in
transferring to canvas the Justly lam
ed charms of the landscape in those
sections.
His first visit to that island, when
his exquisite painting first brought
him into prominence as master hand
at depicting the tropical mountain and
coast kcenery of the Hawaiian Islands,
WIS three years ago, since WHICH time
lie has spent a considerable time In
California, where fame has come to
him as a result of his efforts in the
hills and valleys of the Coast Range.
While in California Mr.. Wix was
married, last year, to a young lady
who is herself an author and musician
CT no mean ability, and who will join
her husband here about Christmas
tine.
At Hhue, last Tuesday, the arts
gave the people of I4auai an oppor-
tcnity to see the beautiful work he
Las been doing recently, by means Of
an exhibition of his paintings in Lihue
Hall. which was attended by over fifty

than when he thinks that he is really
buying something by himself.
The result of days visit 10 the
shops with two or three small child
rem may not he very reStful to the
mother, but the case of her children
is a part Of mothers life work, and
this phase Cf it can not be over
looked or sighted.
When the small boy of the family
wishes to remember some Of his
school mates, one of the incest gifts
he can get is a pencil box entirely
fitted out This Is no sinai matter.
for there are great many little
things that belong in the box of the
school boy of today. There are not
only pencils but penholders and pen
points, erasers. and pencil sharpen
ers, and a dozen or more other things.
This same gift may be made by a
little girl, unless she wishes TO have
her gift little more personal. Then
there is nothing more acceptable than
a dainty hair ribbon. There is hard.
ly anything that delights a small girl
more than pretty assortment of hair
ribbons.
Another thing that often troubles
the minds of the small tots is the re-
membering of mother and father. OF
course. mother can tell them what TO
give father, but it is not always for
father to suggest to them something
that mother would like, that is also
within the limits of the Christmas al
lowance When it comes TO this, the
hest person to consult is a big sis
ter, and if there is no big sister, then
friend may be appealed TO.

Nearly every one of the paintings on
exhibition had one or more features
which marked its superiority over the
others, and it was very diffieult for
those who were enjoying them to pick
out any which could be said to out

A coMMENDABLE WORK.

Through the appeal to the working men great good is being done in behalf of the necessary funds for the stamp ing out of tuberculosis. This organ ized effort is being made throughout the state by the societies which have taken the duty upon their shoulders. 1t is now being strongly urged in Meriden, where nickel week from each workman is expected to result>in a fund of s15,000 year. This fund will be used as the necessary expense attached to residents of that city be- ing aided in the state tuberculosis sanatoriums.
 This effort is the same as was be- gun here for the same purpose and it is to be extended to all the large cen-' ters of the, eastern end of the state, Particularly in the mill villages, is it realized, just how much need there is of aiding those i'll with tuberculosis. The state commission, through Com missioner Gunshanan. is doing great work in this regard and the patients from the three eastern counties will be taken care of in the local institution after the first of November. The rais- ing of such funds removes the feel- ing of being a charity patient. for ev- eryone can contribute and are there fore entitled to it's benefits. It is a contrlbution to q good cause, for the benefits obtained by patients are ex tensive, and the entire community in each instance is given the added pro lection against the spread of the dread disease. It has the necessary merit to it to make every section do its best

MonEY VALUE oE EDUCATION.

At this time of the year even. many are debating the question of whether to pursue their desire for an educa- ton beyond the grammar school or the high school It is problem which has bothered not few and the cause Of indeclsion in many cases is due to the lack of understanding the differ encs between the position of the boy who gets the education and the one who does not.
 There is money value to an educa- ton, which is shown in the study of 1000 actual workers, made by the Massachusetts, commission for indus trial and technical education. Reduce ing the average to the individual cases. 1t shows. for example, two boys, aged 14. interested in mechanics. One plans to perfect himself through the shop and the other in technical school. The boy in the shop starts at s4 a week and by the time he is 1s he win be earning 37 a week. At that age the other boy is leaving school and starting work at s1O a week. At twenty, the shop-trained young fellow is getting s0.5O and the technical graduate s15; at 22, the for mers weekly wage is s1f.50, and the Alters s20; and by the time they are tfth 25. the shop worker finds s12.7E i1 his pay envelope, while, theYtechni- cally trained man draws a salary oi t51.
 This applies to but one line of work but 1t Is an example which holds gooi In most every other line. It takes time to get an education, but employers recognize the additional benefit there. from. and 1t shows in the pay enve. lope, from which the outlay can bt quickly made up. No opportunity fol getting better education should bt passed by

Providence a Market for Unlicensed

Mir. Editor: The milk of human kindness must certainly have. soured with the Providence milk inspector Friday morning, judging from the haste with which he cleared his own state line and landed so unexpectedly isslGe the bars.. to read his little riot act in our farmy
 Rhode Island laws and inspectors are rrc bsbly all right; but their area Is somewhat limited-and that may be all right, too. Prof Scott is undoubt- ely the right man in the right place, and we hope he'll stay there. Nor wich, Conn. is not in Rhode Island, however-no matter how much we may like or dislike to be there.
 We have strict laws in this state for the protection of the public against impure or unsanitary milk, as the re- cent enforcement of them in the vicin- ity of Colchester and Willimantic can testify. And, before romping around here, with bells on him, shouting ''Un- clean! Unclean!" and threatening dire punishment, he'd better first be sure of his stamping ground and whose cows he is hooking into.

 The poor milk that is brought into our homes for the table. the nursing bottle, for culinary purposes, or in tEe shape of ice cream, is imported by rail from distant towns, and is not distributed by local milkmen.
 There are ten dealers-one recently withdrawn-living in the town of Nor wich and vicinity. who are sending their milk supply to Providence, the home of Inspector Scott, and there is 1 only one among the lot whose r.s-s is | o.

HE CANALS FINANCIAL SIDE.

There seems to be good reason for the belief that England's interest in the Panama canal legislation, aside from the looking out for the Canadian interests. Is the financial side of the proposition Though it was built on our own land and with our money, none of the other countries participat- ing, the foreign attitude seems to be that the allowing of United States coasting trade to, use the canal free will throw upon them an increased canal charge, or make them pay for what otherwise would be charged to the vessels of all nations including the United States. While the American vessels engaged in foreign trade must pay the same as foreign ships. the canal bill exempts the coasting trade. This, according to Prof E. R. Johnson, ,1who is at work upon the Panama, canal traffic and tolls, will amount to about q million tons a year directly after the opening, or about one-tenth of the entire tonnage going through the canal.
 This might indicate that the for eign trade through the canal would make up that one-tenth in their tolls, but it must be remembered that in order to attract business through the canal the tolls must be reason ible and compare favorably with, or even un- derbid the Suez canal It is therefore, more than probable that the revenue from the canal will not touch the amount necessary to maintain it and meet the interest account. in which case the foreign trade would not be influenced by the fact that United States trade went through free. After England properly understands the sit nation she will change her position

Strange. indeed, is the confession of Senator Cummins of Iowa in his be- lated statement that he believes in the republican party but in the self-in- flicted standard bearer of the new party He is opposed to the third term party. but stands for the man who caused and started it, so what is the difference between that and in- dorsing the whole thing How he can endorse one and not the other is the peculiar situation, for it is we'll known fact that Roosevelt is the whole thing, candidate, party. boss and all.
 The New York Tribune, in thinking the senator's action an afterthought, the same republican convention, says:
 The Iowa senator was hopeful for a time that a deadlock between the Taft and Roosevelt forces would make him eligible as a compromise candidate. If he had been chosen as the result of such a compromise he would have owed his success, just as much as Mir. Taft owed his. to the existing basis of representation. Would he have scorned a nomination given to him because it came from convention which was not properly representative of the vot- ing strength of the party? We hardly think he would"
 Senator Cummins, as far as known. has done nothing to improve condi- tions in the republican party, of which he complains. His position is that of straddler. He fears to cut off the organization from which he expects future aid. but he evidently thought he could honeyfugle both sides. His action shows what kind of presidential timber Iowa put forward.

BOOM IN sHiPRuILDlNe.

In the shipbuilding industry there are the strongest kind of indications that the current fiscal year will be a very large one. and that the shipyards will be particularly busy. This is in a large measure due to the approach of the canal opening and the necessary preparations to take care of the trade. The railroad clause in the canal bill will not disturb the shipbuilders; it will simply mean that the business will be done for other owners.
 It is a significant fact that returns filed with the government bureau of navigation show the steel vessels un- der construction or under contract to be of two and half times the ton nage of year ago, and of that, ships of S0.000 tons are for use in the ca- nal Orders for many more will go in now that it is known what the regu- lations will be. and who will be af- fected by them.
 This would indicate that the loss which it was felt would be experienced in this line of work because the rail- road owned ships are to be excluded, will be offset by the ships to be built for the independent lines That trade opens an interesting proposition to shipping, and it is evident that it will not be allowed to go begging. Whether the railroads build the ships or not, the worlumen will get the benefit of the business. and it is safe to believe that there will be vessels enough to take care of the trade when the time comes. The railroad lines will forego this golden opportunity only because they have to, and some interesting shipping competition promises to re- suit. The boom in shipbuilding is to be expected and it is to be hoped it will continue indefinitely and not be confined to coasting trade.

IDEAS OF PLAIN MAN
THE sTRlNeED INSTRUMENT.

<
 There is something about a stringed instrument that makes it more human than all others.
 The violin has a soul. The voice of the violoncello is a spirits cry.
 A tones tone, of course, just as ] mans a man; yet as some men have kingly and prophetic spirits. and some are but little better than animals, so some tones come all surrounded with suggestions, enclosing strange impli- cations, attached by spiritual connota- tions, drenched with mystery, dripping with the waters of the infinite.
 1 wonder if it is that cat-gut. Does this fragment of dead animal be- come the medium speaking to US the unknowable secrets of that darkness into which animal-souls go when the body dies?
 When I hear a skilful 'cellist draw his bow across the string. the sound that penetrates me is not like that of a drum or a harp string, but it is a veritable voice, the voice of one calling ac'-css the lake of tears in my heart
