Good Cheer Aids
 Digestion Of Food
Dyspepties Can Make the Rest of the Family Happy by
 Using a Laxative
 tonic.

The temper of the family and the good cheer around the table dependi so much on the good digestion of each individual present that the expert ences of some former dyspeptics Whp overcame their trouble should. be of interest to those now suffering in this way.
 The best advice one can gfve-but it is advice that is seldom heeded-is to eat slowly and masticate each mouthfu1 carefully. However. if slow eating and careful maStication fail the next aid is one close to na- lure, Dr.. Ca1dweH's Syrup Pepsin. This remedy is an excellent digestant, and in addition to helping in the di- gestion of the food, acts gently on the liver and bowels, ridding them of the accumulation of waste that should long ago have been passed off. It is safe, reliable. pleasant tasting, and results are guaranteed.
 Maj. s. Martin of Joplin, Mo, now TT, thinks Dr. Ca1dWelFs Syrup Pep sin has helped him to longer and happier life He has not felt so good in years as he has since taking this excellent medicine, and in spite of his TT years he says he feels like boy.
 It is the ideal remedy for indiges- ton, no matter how severe; coHstfpa- ton, no matter how chronic, bilious ness, headach es, gas on the stonach drowsiness after eating and similar annOyanceS.

Washington. March IA simple sanitary system is a most important and necessary feature Tor every farm home Without it the health of the family is in danger, however attrac- tive and well arranged a farm house may be in every other respect The U. S. Department of Agriculture ha4s just issued a bulletin giving a detail ed description of a simple sanitary system suitable for the average farm home It will be sent free to any farmer on applications
 The simple sanitary system recon mended has four distinct features. It provides for:
 1. A pure water supply.
 2. Pumping. storage. and distri- button of water supply
 B. A durable and simple plumb m z. A safe diap6aal for farm sew
 A pure water supply is one of the most important factors in farm life today, as typhoid fever. dysentery and other disorders may be carried by impure waters.
 Surface water supplies should not for washing milk cans.
 Where underground waters are hard to obtain, cisterns. may be used where the store of rain water and surface supplies will be filtered and partially purified.
 The cistern should be of water -tig Int construction, to prevent leakage and to prevent pollution from the neigh boring soil.
 Farm wells are often polluted from local sources. They are often loeat- ed for convenience near the barn CT stable, or close to the back door, out of which household slops are thrown.
 The plumbing system for the aver age farm home should be simple and it's material and construction should be durable. Water pipes should be arranged so as to carry the water I1. as nearly a straight line as possibre to the point of discharge.
 Contrary to the usual opinion, small sewage systems require some watching and care. It is well to study the system and watch the ac- ton in the entire plant for any signs of c1ogging or water-logging. If the sewage is applied continuously to the final disposal system and in such quantities that the system is kept sat- urated, the filter. or disposal area be- comes water logged and sewage sdck's and ceases to be effective.

BUSY GREETING
HIS old FRIENDS
Returning to Philippines to
Take Command-AWay
. Since 1901 r..

Major-general Thomas H. Barry,
who is en- route to the Philippines,
to take command there, was kept
busy this morning greeting old friends
who came to army headquarters in
the Young Hotel in the hope of meet
ing him. Although he has not been
in Honolulu for more than IL years,
there are many local people who have
very pleasant recollections of his visit
here in 1898, when he was a major on
General Otis staff. His last trip here
was in 1901, on his way back from
the Philippines. ...-.=
General Barry was dressed in a
quiet suit of civilian blue this morn
ing, and his calls were purely infor-
NAL. He seemed genuinely pleased
to renew acquaintance with Hawaii
Il expect I'll find many changes in
the Philippines" he said to a Star
Bulletin repos'ter this morning. Il
haven't been there since 1901. when
We turned the Islands over to Mr..
Taft, after the so-called empire days
were over. am looking forward to
getting back again, for service there
is always interesting. am sorry
though that our stay in Honolulu is
so short, for it would be a real plea
sure to spend some time here and
note what has happened since annexa-
ton"
One link that, binds General Barry
closely to Oahu is the 1st Infantry,
in which regiment he served as End
and 1st lieutenant, and captain. He
graduated from West Point in 1877.
and went into the cavalry arm, trans
ferring to the 1st foot in 1880 In
1897 he gained his majority, being
detailed as acting adjutant-general, as
major. lieutenant-colonel, and col
onel. In August, 1903, he became a
brigadier-general, and in 1908 won his
second star. He was a brigadier-
general of volunteers from January,
1900, to June, 1901.
One of those who renewed acquaint-
ance with General Barry this morn
ing was Brigadier-general John H.
: Soper, n. G. H. retired, who knew
him here in 1898, and later in Cuba,
in 1908.

PINEAPPLE NOT
HOST fruit, IS
GROWERS CLAIM
Vigorous Protest Made to Such
Classification for Purposes
of New Quarantine
PUBLIC HEARING TO BE
HELD ON MARCH 18TH
Albert Waterhouse Says Other
Proposals Are Entirely Fair
and Satisfactory

Making a vigorous protest against
including pineapples in the quarantine
list of fruits and vegetables, as pro,
posed by tie federal department OF
agriculture, on the ground that 1t il
not a host fruit-that is, one to which
the Mediterranean fly is attracted
pineapple growers on the islands met
yesterday afternoon with the terrific
rial board OF forestry and agriculture,
and urged that a cable be sent to
Washington at once opposing the in.
ciEsion of pineapples in the new quar-.
antine list >-.~.
The board discussed the matter thor.
oughly at its special session, and at
the end decided to cable the secre-
tary Of agriculture In accordance with
the wish OF the pineapple growers.
Though both p;ses and bananas are
included in the new quarantine list,
on which public hearing will be held
in Washington, the fruits may be
shipped to the mainland after rigid
inspection by federal authorities, pro
vides the new rules. The objection CT
the pineapple growers is not to the
inspection-it was stated that they
really favor inspection-but to the
classification of pines as a host fruit.
Albert Waterhouse, acting president
of the board ofaforestry and agricul.
tCre, stated this morning that all tests,
made under artificial and natural con.
ditions failed to reveal that the Med.
iterranean flies touch the pinIs; and
It is for this reason that the growers
ipsist it is unjust to include them
among the other fruits and vegetables
which are known to be the victims Of
the flies
