we were going business at the old
stand this morning, despite resolu-
lions made last night during the heat
of battle.
JOSH TUCKER-Happy? OF course
I'm happy. They say that this is d
lonesome town, but I've never found
il so and the fellow that said it must
have stayed at home last night.

READJUSTING SUGAR

Afr. ID. L. conkling, treasurer of the territory,
in the course of an article written for the New
Year section of the Star Bulletin and published
Yesterday, makes comment on the tariff situa-
ton that contains a happy thought with. which
TO begin the new year, Treasurer Conkling
says: - ~ i. ..+> T.. ",... .a,.-.
"0f course there is a fly in. the prosperity
ointment and that is the tariff reduction, which
lis now apparently nearer the country than ever
before This, however, if it results in Every ma
teriaI reduction in the sugar tariff, will simply
mean d read justment of the sugar business.
Sugar will have. to be made cheaper In Hawaii.
This can be done and will be done, and two or
three years of uncertainty will clear the way.
One small way in which sugar may be cheap
ened to the manufactures is by reducing the toll
for transportation; The Panama canal will be
one of the means of this and the opening of the
canal is much nearer than The actual operation
of Il reduced sugar tariff"
REIMBURSEMENT is the inevitable course of prog
rIss in any business. Hawaii has already dis
counted tariff revision, and the read justment
here will be a re-estabiishment Of sugar on a
basis of security that is impossible until the act
Iual extent of tariff-cutting is known.

BANKERS HAVE BIG YEAR
from Page

Pearl Harbor and other work, bring
ing in new capital, and the public
works carried on by the Territorial
government have placed a large
amount Of money in circulation. The
reflection of this disbursement is to
be found in the marked activity in real
estate and building operations, the re-
ported increase of the business OF
the merchants :. and until recently a
large business in the stock and bond
exchange The banks with others
have enjoyed the benefits of the sue
cessful year.
GThe outlook for this years sugar
prices and the uncertainty of tariff
legislation have, however, caused by
anticipation feeling that the COM
ing year will not be as profitable and
consequently a little slOwness has
been noticed in our line of business,
at least during the last few months.
"Whatever the year 1913 may bring
forth the community, including its
banks, is in the strongest financial
position in it's history safely and con-
servativelw to care for the needs Of
it's commercial transactions.
LAS soon as, and if; the t0riff ques-
ton is fairly and definitely settled,

GREETING THE new YEAR

Honolulus first New Year open-air carnival
was remarkably free from hOodlumism of any
sort Though the spirit of the evening was
merry and the ioIlity ulbounded, the crowds on
the streets were orderly and informality never
over stepped the bounds of propriety.
Honolulu has all the natural assets for open
air carnivaIs and it is to be hoped that the New
Year sidewalk ball will be made an annual event

Withdrawals by people investing in

Of Honolulu, pointed out the bright

Mr.. Spalding said. although the de
preston in the stock market the past
few months, owing to the fall in
sugar. prices and the tariff mcsr-
tainty, compelling the plantation com.
pan!es to cut down their dividends
Tor the coming year, has materially
affected the banking business as a
matter of course.
Yet there Is little doubt that busI-
ress in general has been good. The
large disbursements of the federal
government on Notifications, barracks
and harbor works mas added to the
wealth of the Territory gained by the
prosperity OF the sugar industry dur

Another gratifying condition is the,
activity in real estate experienced
last year, with, understand, an adj
Vance in values. T quite agree with
the views expressed by some one IN

effect that real estate in Honolulu
is one of the very best investments
today. There is no doubt that, after

you are not allowed to go out, and
only the doctor can 30 back and forth
don't think that all this disturbance is
useless, and intended simply to fill the
pocketbooks OF the doctors. These
germ diseases are spread in ways Sc

chemicals before being thrown out, Il
Is perfectly possible for the germs tc
be carried in water under ground, or
by flies through the air, for a long
distance, to infect other people. The
germs of scarlet fever may live In the
clothes of the victims and months
later infect the person who chances
to handle them. When the doctors

the ignorance, carelessness or OBJ.
stinacy of some one else is response

SYMPTOMS!

Not one person in fifty knows accu.
rately the symptoms Of beginning con.
sumption. The doctor can detect some
things which the layman can not; but
the following signs anyone can notice
Tie commonest symptom is a con
tinual cough, either a few spasms of
coughing each day or little hacking
cough at intervals all day long. A
slight feverish condition between one
and seven o'clock in the afternoon,
generally about o'clock, and some.
times lasting only half hour, is an.
other common sign. If pefson has
both the cough and the fever the
trouble is almost surely tuberculosis,
especially II combined with steady
loss of weight; gradual loss OF ap.
petite; a feeling of being continually
tired or lack of interest in life, or
night sweats, the other common signs
Of beginning consumption. Any one
Of these persisting for some weeks
should cause the person concern and
send him to the doctor. Don't delay. De-
lay is dangerous! Find out what ails
you! Everything can be gained and
nothing can be lost by knowing
whether or not your afIliction is tuber.
culosis.

Licking Valley courier. [volume] (West Liberty, Ky.) 19??-current, 1913-09-25
FRESH AIR!

It's a lucky thing that God made sc
much fresh air; II does more for US
than We ever imagine. Few things
have such destructive effect on most
disease germs, after they leave the
body, as a slow, steady draft of fresh
air. For instance, the germs OF con
sumption will be killed by II in less
than twenty.four hours. Considering
the number of people moving about
and spreading the germs Of consump
ton, il is lucky for us all that the
fresh air keeps so steadily and eflec'
lively at work. Fresh air Is also, by
long odds, the most important factor
in the cure of consumption. The
steady breathing Of fresh air twenty.
four hours day, regardless OF the
weather, will do more to produce q
cure than any other single thing. The
constant supply of fresh air purgine
the body of impurities, keeps the ma
chinery of the body literally in good
lighting TRIM and, at the same time.
slowly and surely kills the germs as
cast off.

DIAGNOSIS!

II you suspect that you have con
sumption 90 at once to your physician
to be diagnosed. Don't delay! Every
day lost decreases the chance OF cure.
And go TO the best physician. Even
the best physicians can not immedi'
ately distinguish tuberculosis in its
first stages from other troubles. Elk
pect your physician to take a sample
of your spit, which can be examined
free of charge In the laboratory Of the
State Board of Health. II germs OF
tuberculosis are found, that is abso
lutte proof that the disease is present
even though you can see no outward
signs of its inroads. II they are not
found, you may nevertheless have tn
berculosis in the early stages of the
disease more often than not the germs
will not be found in the sputum. Elk.
pect your physician also to make a
careful physical examination of the
trunk of your body from the waist line
to the neck. It will take him a full
half hour to do It thoroughly and, II
he requests 1t, the patient must be
stripped to the waist line.
