PRODUCERS PAY HIGH
PRICE FOR SUGAR ON
THE ISLAND OF MAUI
Refined Article Commands
Higher Retail Price There
Than On Mainland

Although thousands of tons of sugar
are manufactured upon the island of
Maui, Hawaiian islands, annually, the
consumers of refined sugar there, and
these represent tine great majority of
the natives and residents, are compelled
to pay higher price for the product
than do the people of Salem and other
parts of the United States. Whereas
the best grade of refined sugar can be
purchased in Salem at $3.50 per hun
dred, or the rate of Is pounds for the
dollar, the people of Maui island are
compelled to pay at the rate of about
13 pounds for the dollar.
This intelligence is conveyed by Chas.
Savage, who was born and raised in
Marion county, and spent the greater
part of his life in Salem, who for the
past five years has been chief carpen-
ter and in charge of all the building
and construction work for the Hawaiian
Commercial & Sugar company, of PUN
enc, Maui who is in Salem visiting his
step-mother, Mrs. Henry II. Savage, and
other relatives. Mr.. Savage came over
to San Francisco upon a business er-
rand for his employers and took the
opportunity to take run up to Salem
before returning home.
Mr.. Savage accounts for the peculiar
situation in the retailing Of sugar at
such high prices in the realm of its pro-
duction to the fact that there are no re-
! fineries on Maui island and the raw or
crude sugar has to be shipped either to
California or Honolulu for refinement
and the Maui consumers are obliged to
pay the difference in the freight both
ways and the cost of refining, with the
brokers commissions and incidental
expenses added. The people over there
are very much in the same condition in
regard to sugar and the people of Ore
gon, one of the greatest wool produc-
| ing states in the country, are in when
\ they have to ship the wool east for the
manufacturing process and purchase it
back again in the nature of clothing
plus all of the cost of manufacture and
freight charges both ways.
Mr.. Savage, as a member of Company
X, Second Oregon Volunteers saw ser
vice i'll the Philippines during the Span
ish American war and Filipino insur-
rection. He engaged in carpenter work
|
went to the Hawaiian islands five years
ago and secured employment with the
sugar company ard has marked up to
his present lucrative and responsible
position. He is son of the late II.
H. Savage, who died in this city about
two months ago, but was unable to
come home when his father was seized
Of his last illnesse He is married and
is the proud father of two children
the youngest Of which is but little
over month old hence Mrs. Savage
and the babies could not accompany
him on the trip.
Ennis Savage, his brother, who is al
so native of Salem and graduate of
the Willamette university, occupies the
responsible position of consulting chem.

GET RID OF HUMORS
AND AVOID DISEASE

Humors in the blood cause internal
arrangements that affect the whole
system, as well as pimples, boiis and
other eruptions. They affect all the
organs and functions, membranes and
tissues, and are directly responsible
for the readiness with which some peo.
pie contract disease.
For forty years Hood S Sarsaparilla
has been more successful than any
other medicine in expelling humors and
removing their inward and outward eff
fects. It is distinguished for its thor
oughness in purifying the blood, whica
it enriches and iavigorates. No other
medicine acts like it, for no other med
icine is like it.

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
q happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
