fairly good and very expensive. One
OF the cheapest rooms | saw in the
Plaza hotel was 81 a duy, European

hotels with rooms from So upward.
The Plaza is, perhaps the most
cosmopolitan of all the hostelries of
the city. In its ballroom and its
drawing room | was reminded of
the Waldorf Astoria. The meals
are a little higher than in the big
hotels of New. York city. But
there r numerous small res
taurants WI ere good refreshments
may be had at reasonable prices.

Pierpont Mor- gan, in letter received by local busi- ness men, asks all St Louisians who have purchased cotton in the recent "buy-a-bale" movement to contribute the cotton to a fund for the relief of the soldiers and the destitutes of the warning countries Tn Europe.
 Her letter declares she has organ i1ed force of needy women to con. vert the cotton into bandages and wearing apparel. The cotton itself, or the warehouse certificates, will be ac- ceptable, Miss Morgan said.

Orders for approxi. mately 4,600 bales at $50 each were placed here during the buy-a-bale movement.

A REBELLION Food Demanded.

The human body will stand lot of abuse, but sometime it will surely re- bel and demand proper food in place of the pasty, starchy. greasy stuffs on which it has been made sick.
 Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts, the most scientific and perfect food in the world.
 A lady of Washington says: Three years ago I was very i'll with catarrh of the stomach and was given up to die by one doctor. laid in bed four months and my stomach was so weak that l could not keep down medicine or hardly any kind of food and was so weak and emaciated after four months of this starvation that my daughter could easily lift me from bed and put me in my chair.
 But weak as my stomach was, it accepted, relished and digested Grape Nuts without any difficulty the first time that wonderful food was tried
 '1 am now strong and in better health than for a great many years and am gradually growing still stronger l rely on Grape-Nuts for much of the nourishment that l get. The results have certainly been won- derful in my case and prove that no stomach is so weak it will not digest Grape-Nuts.

Thursday the Russians. with swift movement, occupied all the ways of retreat toward Cracow, and thus the entire Austrian army was pushed toward the Carpathian noun tains, against which they are closely pressed.
 Their condition here is desperate, as their only line of retreat lies across the Carpathians into Hungary. But the Carpathians at this time of the year, and with the recent snowfalls, are almost impossible to million and half of men with provisions and munition trains and artillery.

PRACTICAL CHARITIES

While the 'unemplayed' situation in this
city does not seem to be of such proportions as
10 threaten to get beyond control, it is bad
enough and is not clearing as rapidly as could
be wished. Where a few are provided with
taking their places. .~
Tt does not seem that in this deplarabe sit
uation there is any cause for thankfulness, hut
Hawaii's climate helps some. We are thankful
that here there are no sudden drops in the Their
mometer during the winter months that would
create additional suffering that the Associated
Charities would be calledon to alleviate. So far,
the Associated Charities has done remarkably
we'll. 1t is doing more, in fact, than the layman
ever suspects, in putting families in the way of
self-support and in widening the margin between
comfort and privation. w.. IS:
1t is always timely to help worthy charities,
and the majority give in money, which the busy
man seems to think is the easiest and quickest
way out of the situation. Perhaps the hest ends
can be accomplished by an offer of work TO the
jobless man After ALL it is work that the wage
aarners of the destitute and near-destitute fam
lies need most, and in this respect the Associat-
.ei Charities is straining every nerve to make
good-to bring the man and the job together.
1t has always resulted far better to offer a
man an opportunity to earn money. Most of the
people Of this city who are in need of help would
infinitely prefer to foil for dollar or so than
b accept the same amount without giving any,
thing in return, and this is much preferred by
the helping citizen. ~ ."=
So, at the present moment it is incumbent
upon every .Honolulan in comfortable cireum-
stances, to look around for work that can be
done, and report the opportunity to the Asso-
ciated Charities, so that the man or woman
upon whom perhaps the sustenance of a family
Of little ones depends, can hayesa chance to earn
something and feel in a measure independent.
