body interprets his remarks as direct
ed especially toward that particular
part of the bill. This is due largely
to the undisputed fact that there are
number of men here exerting them
selves in behalf of duty on sugar.
But while they are here in that in
terest they claim to be acting openly.
Certain it is that most of them have
not hesitated to make their business
known Many. if not all of them, are
direct representatives of the cane or
beet interests, and they contend that
they have perfect right to exert their
influence against what they claim to
be ruinous tendencies on the part OF
the national legislators.
The president not only charged lob
bying but the word was qualified by
adjeetiyes which have been construed
as distasteful in themselves, and the
friends of sugar have replied with
spirit. One result has been to call
out statements from some of the west
ern senators who have not gone on
record on the question IF supporting
the. BILL They do not now go to the
extent of saying that they VIII Join In
an effort to kill the bill if it provides
for free sugar, but their declarations
are a step in that direction, and to
that extent have given hope and en-
enlargement to the duty advocates.
The sugar men say that they court
inquiry. 1t is believed that the worst
that can be shown is that few men
have been kept here on pay by the
producers, and the contention is that
their presence has been necessary. to
keep track of the details of legislation.
The subcommittee of the finance
COMMITTEES have concluded their hear
ings on the: various features of the
BILL and today began the real consid-
Grafton of suggested changes. SeHa-
tors Williams, Shively and Gore, con-
stituting the subcommittee on sugar,
are as busy as beavers going over the
mass of testimony taken by them. but
the indications are that they will go
back to the full committee with an
unchanged bill Senator Williams has
indicated a willingness to retain per
tmanently a reduced duty on sugar, but
since the Louisiana senators told him
that even then the bill would be I'M
acceptable to them, he IS reported 10
| have lost interest in reductions. The
! indications therefore still are that SUI
gar will remain in its present condi-
ton at least until the bill is presented
to the senate.

PAPlYA IS rich
IN MALIHDL
PROPERTIES

The fruit of the papaya tree, grown
here in profusion not equaled in any
other part of the world, has always
beenDa favored breakfast dish with
travellers and tourists, and also to a
limited extent with the residents of
Hawaii, and if the fruits wonderful
digestive qualities were better known
ii would be more generally eaten.
The Carica papaya grows largely
in Ceylon, India, the East and West
Indies, and the Hawaiian Islands, and
seems TO prefer slightly sandy sail
that is not too rich. Further descrip-
ton of the tree seems unnecessary
for who in these islands is not faInii
lar with the papaya tree, it being met
with in nearly every garden or back
yard.
Step into one of Honolulu's drug
stores some day and ask for twenty
five cents worth of papain and you
will be given very small quantity of
brownish, gummy substance that
looks like coarse bran or irregular
granules of gum arabic. This sub
stance is one of the best aids to di.
gestion that has been discovered, and
when first placed on the market was
worth $3.50 pound, but the ease of
production has brought the drug down
in price and at the present time ii
demands a price of $40 a pound in
the states. What is papain? II is
simply the residue from the Juice of
the papaya fruit and of the tree also,
milky substance, the commercial
article being obtained by evaporation.
There are many qualities other than
digestive contained in the papaya, and
are made use of by those who know
the secrets.
The digestive and disintegrating
properties of papain are remarkable.
The milk and even the fresh leaves of
the papaya tree will render the tough
est beef tender in the space of two
hours. Native cooks invariably wrap
tough raw beef with the fresh leaves
for half an hour, or apply a small
quantity of the fresh milk directly to
its surface, or put a piece of the green
fruit into the raw curry when the beef
will not boil soft. If a large quantity
OF the juice is applied to the raw
beef it reduces it in little over half an
hour to a pulpy mass that appears as
ii it had undergone partial digestion.
Papain is said to be capable of digest
ing ten to twelve times its weight of
egg albumen at the temperature of
the human body.
There are many other uses for pa
pain. Taken as tabloid or in the
form of raw fruit, il acts gently but
effectively upon the liver and bowels.
tits also said to remove freckles, and
is frequensly used by the natives of
0eylon as a soap From It's power
to remove stains in clothes, papain is
called melon bleach" by the Singhal-
csc, and they use It in the water
when washing colored Clothes espe.

cosmetic and produces clear, satiny
