The session of the United States dis

what he termed Judge Clemons' atti-
tude of favoritism towards defendants.
1t was a following up of the incident

BABY'S SCALP ALL
CRUSTED over
With Eczema That Broke Out when
but Three Months Old Burned
and ltched So She Could Not Sleep
Chance Of Cure Seemed Slight.
CURE BY CUTICURA
EASY AND COMPLETE

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began TO break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
eyes became crossed from the disease
and her scalp was q solid scale all over.
The burning and itching was 30 severe
that she could nct rest, day or night.
We had about given up all hopes when
we read an advertisement of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. We at once got q cake
Of Cuticura Soap, q box Of Cuticura ONT
ment and one bottle Of Cuticura Resoly-
ent and followed directions carefully.
After the first dose Of the Cuticura Re
solvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely
and applied tho Cuticura Ointment.
Then she began to improve rapidly and
In two weeks the scale came off her head
and new hair began to grow. In n very
short time she was we'll. Her eyes were
perfectly straight when she recovered
and have been SO ever since. She is now
sixteen years Of ago and Is picture Of
health. We know the Cuticura Hcme-
dies cured her and have used them in
our family ever since.
We used tho Cuticura Remedies
about five weeks, regularly, and then
we could not tell she had been affected
with any disease. She suffered with
burning and itching and hard, scc,y,
dandruff- looking scabs all over her head
and in places en- her body. Wo used no
other treatments after VIC found out what
the cuticura Remedies ulcl do for her.

CENTURY MAGAZINE TO
RUN HAWAIIAN STORY
EDITOR ASKS FOR PICTURES OF
FAMOUS ISLAND SCENES
TO ILLUSTRATE 1T.

The Century Magazine is to fall in
line and boost HAWAII. In letter to
Alexander Hume Ford, received here
yesterday, the Sentury staff sends its
regards and asks for a big batch of
Hawaiian pictures. In part the letter
is as follows:
"We are going to publish soon in
the Century an article on "a visit to
Hawaii" The article is by Mr.. John
Burroughs and we have decided to illus
trate 1T by photographs rather than by
original pictures. We wonder if we can
presume upon an old acquaintance and
beg your friendly cooperation in secur-
ing set of these photographer We
should like, if possible, to select some
twenty or thirty really fine photographs
of the Sandwich Islands. The idea is
to illustrate it as carefully as the en-
closed article.''
Then follows a description of the
pictures needed. There will be illustra-
tions of phases of the trips TO both
Haleakala and to Kilauea, and the in
terisland trip A particular request is
made for good pictures along the w. r.
Castle trail behind Honolulu, as this
is to be a feature of the article. r. W.
Crowninshield, editor of the Century art
department, speaks of the pictorial eff
fects of the Mid-Pacific magazine, and
indicates that such pictures would be
acceptable to the Century. Ford spent
the afternoon going over his photo

being making cruise of the Islands,
securing photo material for the Mid
Pacific. A hundred of Bakers best pic

MAYOR AND CITY Fathers INVESTIGATE
MERITS OF NEW SYSTEM OF FIRE ALARM

Should a Ere break out in your house

course is to run out in scanty attire
to the nearest fire telegraph box, locate
q stone with which to break the glass

down the hook. Meanwhile your house
is burning rapidly and you have to
chase back and save what few of your
household goods may be remaining,
Or you may have telephone in your
house and you frantcally try to find
the number of the fire department
headquarters, and if you do succeed in
finding it nicely slowed away under q
letter you did not figure on, YOU FUN

TO STUDY LOCAL
WATER SUPPLY.
LATEST SCIENTIFIC METHODS TO
BE USED IN BETTERNG TIE
CTTy's SYSTEM.
Orion wednesday s Advortiser.)

(f'rom Wednesday Is Advertiser.)
Modern methods of the very latest
date will shortly be introduced into n
scientific study of the water system OF
Honolulu by Superintendent Campbell
of the department of public works with
the object of increasing the efficiency
of service and lessening the cost to tax
payers as far as possible.
A pitometer survey of the entire
piping system will soon go into effect
for the purpose of determining the flow
of water in pipes and the loss of pres
sure from leaks in the pipes and other
causes. The system is highly com
plicated scientific one and amounts to
an analysis OF the system for improve
ments.
Superintendent Campbell quotes one
instance in Pennsylvania city where
the pitometer showed the capacity of
n pipe to have dropped from 100000
gallons in twenty-four hours while
clean to 100000 gallons following the
accumulation of tubercules and rusting
inside the pipe.
Data on Meters.
Much of the data that Superintend-
ent Campbell is gathering in regard to
water systems before he retires from
the department relates to the use of
meters. The evidence he has so far
secured has confirmed him in his belief
in meters and he is now answering
queries to the department as explaining
its advocacy of this system.
az am an advocate of cheap water
and plenty of it, - he stated in letter
to an inquirer yesterday and quoted
number of instances where this result
was obtained through the installation
of meters.
Quoting data from Washington, d.
c., he showed that that city, whose use
of water on the parks is as great as
the entire Honolulu consumption, was
able to stop plans for $2,00O,0O0 ex-
tension TO the water system which
seemed urgently necessary before the
meters were installed.
Additional Facts.
In letter from George ]. Gray, gen
eral superintendent of the New Orleans
water system Mr.. Campbell has re-
ceived additional facts. One of Mr.
Gray IS statements was to the effect
that with the installation of the meters
the consumption of water was reduced
from 10000 900 to 100000 gallons,
which did away with n necessity for
an enlarged plant. The number of con-
sumers increased from $4,000 to 10000
in the same period
"On the meter system" said Mr..
Gray. ''the average domestic consumer
pays from one.third to one-half of what
he had to pay under fiat rates and the
income of the plant is fully sufficient
| to meet the cost of operation and main
tenance.
con fiat rates careful consumers had
to pay for the waste of careless con
sumers two or three times their pres
ent bills and consumption, which has
been increasing by leaps and bounds,
would have required the very early en-
largement of system, which, since
meters have been adopted, will need no
enlargement for many years.

MANY APPEALS
FOR TAX COURT
COMING SESSION TO BE LIVE
LEST SINCE THE ANNExA.
TON SAYS BUSINESS MEN.
(FrOm Wednesday Is Advertiser

AAVAh .
The tax appeal court of 1919 is going
to have the liveliest and longest SEES.
sions of any tax tribunal that has sat
here since the annexation, judging by
the number of business men who are
working on plans to appeal from the
raises of tax assessments which went
to make up Treasurer Conkling's raise
of more than twenty million dollars in
the assessment valuations of the Ter
ritory.
In the local real estate offices, tables
of figures are being made up to prove
that the raises are unreasonable, and in
the plantation agencies similar work is
going on. None of the holders viii tell
what their appeals are to be, but all
predict that there will be very long
list. The news that the Bishop Estate
does not contemplate a>general contest
against the increases on its property,
was something of surprise. 1t appears
that various of the other big holders,
including plantations, have taken occa-
sion to express their endorsement of
the raises of Bishop Estate land. At
the same time they have made vigorous
objections to some of their own raises.
Are After oonkling.
Treasurer Conkling appears to be
about the most talked of man in the
business community just now, and he is
getting protests, mingled with express
sions of approval of his course, from
all sides. He said yesterday that he
had told those who came to him with
protests that the raises had been made
after due consideration, and that the
tax Office was simply trying to collect
what was considered fair taxes on the
property in the Territory.
Compromises Made.
The decision made some time ago, not
to make any compromise after the
board of equalization got through with
its work, but to refer all property hold
ers who had protests to the tax appeal
court, is not being carried out to the
letter. A lot of compromises are under
way, and may diminish the final number
of appeals.
In some OF these cases, the assess
ments were made hurriedly Under the
system established by the law, the tax
office work piles up so fast in January
and February that in some cases there
was no time to give careful considera-
tiOn to assessment figures. In others,
the officers took the safe side, and made
| figures they were sure were high
enough, and they may not want to 60
into court in these cases.
Tax Court.
| The tax appeal court is to consist of
three citizens, to be appointed by the
Governor, some time next month. In
view of the number and Importance of
the cases it viii have to hear, the per-
sonnet of the court is matter of much
interest. 1t is some years since the
court has had to hear many important
contests.

Cooperation.

Mr.. Potter states that in Pacific
Ocean cities, where there may be only
a phone here and there in the resi-.
dence section, householders have com
bined in the payment for the yearly
use of a fire box to be attached to a
phone in house centrally located.
1T is fire insurance to have these
in every house," said Mr.. Potter in
answer to a question by the mayor.
"ln a city of this size with its cosmo-
politan population, where phone fire
calls are SO unsatisfactory, this phone
fire alarm will be found one of the
best adjuncts to FIRE protection you can
have. 1t will reduce insurance rates
and in the long run will be the means
of saving hundreds of thousands of dol.
lars. A man who is away from home
