TO PALE, THIN PEOPLE.
Druggists Offer to Pay for SamoSe IL
1t Does Not Make Thin
People Fat.

Pale, thin people are simply suf-
fering from want of nourishment
They may eat enough, but their food
is not properly digested and does
them no good.
Samose, the remarkable flesh
former, should be used by all who
are pale, weak and thin. 1t mingles
with the food and aids assimilation,
so that when taken for short time
nature will soon assert her norwal
powers, and the food that is eaten
will give strength and good flesh.
The woman who longs for rosy
cheeks and the. plumpness of beauty
should use Samose. The man who
wants to be strong and we'll and gain
health and good flesh should find his
desires accomplished by Samose.
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use of Samose that Drug
gists McNair Bros. are willing to pay
for the treatment if it does not give
the desired results. They make this
offer generally and want all who are
thin, weak and out of health to get a
box of Samose from the mon those
terms.

places you are taken off by a
crane"
There are no drift logs or wood on
any of the beaches, nothing but white
coral and sand and some nice sea-
shells, which are gathered and sold
to the tourists, of which it is claimed
that $4,000 visit the islands each
year All of these have to come
1000 miles and many of them 1000
and 5000 miles, and all that distance
by water, and when they get here
there are not near as many places to
scenes as in Jackson county. Now,
if we would make the most of what
we have, we, too, would get this coast
trade, or others like them.
We have not got this beautiful
summer climate all the year, but the
tourist boats get here all times of
the year and they simply come be-
cause others are coming or because
those who are paid to go to the diff
ferent parts of the world and solicit
tourists to include the islands in their
trips turn them this way, and we are
benefited by their enterprise, just
the same as Oregon or Jackson coun-
ty would be if they would do the
same thing, in the same way

D. P. Blue Writes of
Honolulu and It's People

One often hears of letter "a yard
long" but it is not often that one
is actually seen. However, Mr.. and
Mrs James Gault recently received
one from d. p Blue and family, now
of Honolulu, but formerly of Ash
land, which is four and one-halt

You will notice how neatly the sheets
are joined together. This is only one
of the many queer and different
things that we find over here, and
while some are old and obsolete, yet
have learned many things that will
Oe useful in mechanics as we'll as in
other pursuits of life when l return
TO the United States.
This is Christmas day, and such a
warm day, sun shining, clear and
warm. ! have only got on thin silk
shirt and a pair of white duck pants
and / would take the pants off if l
was wearing drawers. Our first win
ter is over. | think so because the
same trees are blooming now that
were in bloom when we came here
last May. They have ripened their
fruit and some have set another crop.
About all the difference in winter
and summer here is, think, that the
wind blows a little harder and it
rains more often, but as for chilly or
cold nights or mornings there have
been none so far, and 1 am getting
homesick to see some rain from
clouds, some mud or a little frost,
for surely this sameness of every
day and night gets tiresome.
There are many things different
here-no fog-lo frost-no snakes
no briars--no poisonous insects-no
wild animals larger than a rat except
the hogs, goats, cattle and dogs
which were once tame-no twilight.
The sun rises out OF the ocean on
one side and it sets in the ocean on
the other. 1t is dark a few minutes
after the sun goes down, but we eat
supper at o'clock and do not have
TO use light. This is because we
are so near the equator.
Rainfall 400 Inches.

/ the island but is most always cloudy
and raining on the other side. When
| tell you that the average rainfall
on the mountains of nearly all of
these islands is about 400 inches
(over an inch day. you will see
I that Oregon is not in it,
OF course you know that this coun-
try is about the size of Jackson coun-
ty and about as much hills and noun
tains, but the valleys are not as large
or as fertile. The soil is coral sand.
The mountains are coral. Nothing
grows on or near the tops of the
mountains as the heavy and constant
rains keep working everything loose
down toward the bottom.
{ When l tell you that the big part
Of all the streams are in the middle
you will not understand, so l will
explain that the mountains are full
of crevasses and the rock is very
porous. Therefore but very little of
this heavy rainfall ever reaches the
level land near the coast. l have
seen them irrigating within IL miles
of where the government reports 400
inches of rainfall.
Rainfall Very Spotted.
Another curious thing is that the
rain is only on the mountains. At
sea level at Ko Kono head there has
not been any rain in three years, yet
only four miles away it rains nearly
every night. This heavy rainfall does
not worry the people, for it falls
mostly at night, and as the soil is
coral sand they could not raise the
pineappels and sugar cane without
this constant rain. Even when it is
raining the ground (sand) is not too
wet to cultivate. Many of the farm
ers of the hills depend upon the
nightly rains for all water, as there
are few is any springs. They all
have large concrete or iron cisterns.
Some have nearly an acre of the hill
side covered with concrete or CORFU
gated iron to catch the rainfall for
irrigation or family use.
No Timber On the Mountains.
When you go fishing or camping
you carry wood or coal oil, as there
is not any timber on these hills or
mountains. The first wood tree was
planted in 1920. There is getting to
be considerable brush and trees on
the low lands. The original trees
were cocoanut, banana and bamboo,
which are always green and will not

burn when alive or dead. They all
grow something like cornstalks. Even
the royal palms do the same, and /
have seen cocoanut trees IS inches
in diameter that were cut down in a
few minutes with a jackknife. Many
of the kinds of wood planted are
very beautiful and are being used for
furniture, as it is too costly for gen.
eral use. Oregon lumber is about
double the price it was in Ashland.
Sugar pine is worth $12O per thou
sand and redwood $50 Shingles are
$1.25 per bunch.
Imports Are Heavy.
Some things are as cheap here as
in Ashland, sue has canned milk, SUI
gar, rice and canned vegetables,
while all fruits and vegetables raised
| here are very reasonable, but not as
good as those from the coast.
1t will surprise you when I say
that there We're imported into these
islands last year over $23, 1000, 900
worth of products. Over $10O,O 900
worth of condensed milk, over $780,
600 worth of butter, over $500, 900
of green vegetables, over 81 900, 900

100000 of bacon, beef and mutton,
$4,000 of eggs and chickens.
think l hear you asking, "Well, why
don't they raise it over there?" 1t
can't be done. We have not got the
soil. The sand will produce cane,
etc, but not grain or certain kinds of
vegetables. Their potato is the taro
and it grows in water and looks when
growing like our skunk cabbage only
it has bulb instead of roots. All
gardening is done by Japs and Chi
nese and they are up to date on what
they can raise and how to raise it.
About all of the level land on the
island belonged to "the royalty" and
never can be sold. Therefore it is
leased and most of these gardeners
pay SIS or 500 rent per year for
the best land and $25 to $50 for the
ordinary hillside where they have to
irrigate.
No Natural Harbors.
None of these islands have any
harbors except Honolulu, and it has
only a small one dredged out of the
coral rock by the United States gov
ernment, and this so small that when
one end of boat is at the wharf the
other is out in the ocean, but as it
never storms on this side of the
island It does not make much differ

on the other islands are more dan
gerous; in fact, at most places lex

stew, says a writer in the Seattle
Post Intellisencer.
Surely a nation is forgetful of its

braved the onion and detected its Gu

too much upon the spectacular and

our domestic supper joys, When man

whole tribe put on sackcloth and ashes
and wait with dismal foreboding for
news OF his demise by explosion or

Things that are simple joys to US
