WHAT ONE COMMON
HEN HAS DONE
Record of Black Spanish Fowl
Given by an Interested
Suburbanite

To those who boast of what their
hens can do, their attention is called
to the following, clipped from an ex-
change:
Almost eight years ago, when We
bought home in the suburbs, we be-
gan to keep hens, because that was
one of our many reasons for becOm-
ing commuters, says contributor to
Suburban Life We purchased a rnix-
ed lot, to give the business a tryout,
and among them was solitary black
Spanish, more than year old. She
laid our first egg the morning after
her arrival, and continued laying with
out vacation until late in the fall,
but is not winter layer She has
been doing business at the same
stand all these years; has always
kept her brilliant black plumage
when not in mott, and is just as clean
limbed as any pullet We own. Up 10
her fourth year, she never offered to
sit, when it suddenly seemed to occu-
to her that her duty in that direction
had been neglected, SO she took a
nest, sat on it one day, and the neat
morning marched into the yard with
an imaginary flock of chicks at her
heels. She clucked and clucked, and
for some days mothered the old hens.

there was no shower on Tuesday night
so 1t was reported, and the record of
101 days without rain was unbroken.
Never has such long period been
known on this portion of Maui without
at least some showers
At Olinda there was rain above
and heavy showers below, but at
Olinda itself there was not dro1

On the cane fields in Makawao and
Paia the rain did no end of good.
while at Waikiki on Saturday the

noon every thing was overlooking be-
cause of the freshet. On TUESDAY
night the whole Wailuku region got
a soaker. People as a result feel
better and take heart once more over
the prospects for the future. The
situation had become really serious.

'CASCARETS" BEST
FOR THE BOWELS
No headache, bad taste, sour
stomach or coated tongue
by morning,

1t is more necessary that you keep
your Bowels, Liver and Stomach clean,
pure and fresh than il is to keep the
sewers and drainage Of a large city free
from obstruction.
Are you keeping clean inside with
Cascarets-or merely forcing a pas
sageway every few days with salts,
cathartic pills or castor oil? This is
important.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested and fermenting food and
foul gases; take the excess bile from
the liver and carry out of the system
the consttpated waste matter and poi
son in the intestines and bowels
No odds how badly and upset you
feel, a Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning. They work while
you sleep. A 10-cent box from your
druggist will keep your head clear,
stomach sweet and your liver and bow
els regular for months. Don't forget
the children-their little insides need a
good, gentle cleansing, too. (AdvtD

BITTER CONTEST
 ON SUGAR TARIFF Enormous Growth of Amer ica's Sugar Industry LOUISIANA IS BUSY Quite Likely That Some of That States Delegation Will Line up
 Against Any Material
 Reduction
By C.. E. STEWART

Washington December 16.--(Special) Or the tariff schedules. it is quite probable that the one relating 10 sugar will be the most bitterly contested when Congress takes up the tariff revision booked for inc extra session. The sugar industry in the United States Is growing very rap idly. and the state of Louisiana is so vitally interested in the industry that it is very difficult for her representatives and senators To rise above the wide as pect It Is quite likely that some of them. if not the entire delegation, will line up against material reduction Of the tariff upon sugar.
 The sugar consumption of the United States in the year which ends with this month will exceed S,OOo,0O0o0O pounds, against 45OO,O0O GOO in 19Oo, 3,00O 0O0OoO in 1890. 200O.000000 in 1880 and a little over l. oO0o00OOo in 1870. Foreign countries, our own islands and our own fields have re spectvely increased their contributions to the sugar supply of the United States. The total imports from foreign countries, according 10 the latest figures, aggregate s,5ot, 100000 pounds, against little over i300, coo 900 last year. The receipts from Hawaii will approximate 1.2O0,o00 QUO pounds against 1l36,OOo,Oo0 last year; those from Porto Rico. about 700,oo0o0O pounds, against 645 0oO,Oo0 last year The product of the beet sugar fields of the United States will approximate 140o,o00o GOO pounds against 100000, O00 pounds last year. while the cane sugar fields will probably show but little increase, or

New York, December 16-News of the supreme court s decision in the anthra- cite case sent up prices of stocks with a rush today. Excited bidding for Read ing came after the first word from Wash ington, and for a few minutes there' was a wild scramble of brokers about the Reading post on the exchange.
 The quotations mounted as much as a point between sales during the first rush, before the traders paused to take breath and seek more detailed information of the terms of the decree. For nearly an hour Wall street then hesitated in doubt as to what extent the anthracite roads would be favored by the decision but in the latter part of the days trad ing the upward movement was resumed.
 Reading sold nearly 10 points above the low price of the day. Other coal carrying roads also benefited. Lacka- wanna gained 26 points, Central of New Jersey 10 and Lehigh Valley 41a The market as a whole. which declined in the morning with a break of points in Reading, moved up with it in the aft ernoon and several prominent issues ad- vanced to points above the low prices of the day.

POWER OF RAILROAD COMMISSION MAY BE
 LIMITED BY COURT
Continued from Page One)

>---~~-~- taken within the period of one day
 The general belief is that the railroad commission will at the conclusion of the hearing. reach decision that there is no just reason why the Louisville X Nash vile should have increased it's passenger rate from 2ia cents to 3 cents per mile. And that immediately afterwards, the l.. X N. will appeal to the courts. Then the state will be compelled to employ an at torney, and, as the state is not now rep resented by an attorney, the man en,- poyed to fight the case in the courts will not be in position of familiarity with present proceedings.
 The general interpretation in Mont gomery seems to be that unless the su- preme court in it's decision in the Min nesota cases says something of suffi- cient potentiality to quiet the litigation in Alabama, the final periodS to that litigation will not be written in the very near future at any rate
