DOCTORS AND DRUGGIST

1.-THE Cuticura Remedies are the best
In the world, as know from exper ,ence,
In DowlaiS, South Wales, about fifteen
years ago, families were stricken whole

your life an inferno. Sleep Is out OF thr
question and you feel as IL q million
mosquitoes were attacking you at the
same time. Yet you coeld SEQ nothing
on the skin. But the itch was there all
right and sincerely trust that shall
never get it. l knew q dozen fnmilies
that were 50 affected. The male men,
bers and myself belonged to the same
society and, as steward, it was my duty
to visit the sick members once a week
OF. That is how became SO familiar
with the itch. ... .,..,.
Tho doctors DID their best but their
remedies were Ct no avail whatever.
Then the families tried q druggist Who
was noted far and wide for his remark
able cures. People come to him from
all parts OF the country for treatment
but his medicine made matters still
worse, as a last resort they were advised
by friend t. use the Cuticura Remedies.
/ am glad to tell you that after few
days treatment with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and ResolvPnt, the effect was
wonderful and the result was q perfect

H1Lo SUGAR ENDS HARVEST

Hilo Sugar Company finished grind
ing its 1913 crop August % with i
total of 1893 tons. This is just 500
tons less thanathe l9l4, harvest but ~
463s tons in excess Of the manager g
January estimate. The crop averaged
1872 tons of cane per ton of sugar
Careful records and comparisons were
made of the yields of plantation and
homesteader s cane. The plantation
fields yielded 500 tons of sugar and
44.5 tons Of cane per acre. The out
sider's cane averaged 39.7 tons per
acre, with only SOB tons of sugar
This brought the plantation average
down to 5.36 tons sugar and 42.5 tons
cane per acre.

TOBACCO IN CANE ROWS

A coarse, heavy tobacco known as
ox-tongue, or ''Iangue de boeuf," is
cultivated rs r, intcrcrop between the
young plant cane rows in Reunion.
This variety has stiff lance shaped
leaves with fine veins. About 30UU
plants are set per acre.
After being barn cured the leaf is
stemmed aud sorted. 1t is then rolled
into bundles weigh ng about twenty
six pounds These are subjected to
heavy pressure and are then tightly
bound. 1.-The tobacco thus under goes
fermentation in small heaps. The
product resembles perique, and is used
in smoking tobacco mixtures. The ex
ports from the island are worth about
$4,000 a year.

USE VINEGAR RAG
. FOR TAPPING CEARA

81. new method of tapping ceara rub
Der trees which is sail to materially
lessen tn" cost is described in Der
PtlanZer, an agrIcultu al Newspaper
published in German East Africa. The
manager Of rubber plantation at
MorogorO discovered that vinegar co.
aglilates the lateX, so he Quilted a
tapping gang with bands of cotton
cloth thirty inches long aud four
inches wide. The cotton bands are
Dipped in bucket of vinegar and
wrung out. The Taper makes cut in
the tree trunk and then draws the wet
vinegar rag up along the incision. The
latex radheres to the cloth and is ccag-
ulated in a thin film which is easily
detached.
y The rubber obtained in this way
is pure and can he cleaned by hand,
one laborer being able to clean sixty
pounds day. Vusk lied tappers
Using the vinegar rag method pro-
dueed an average of twenty. eight
DUNES Of rubber per day.
Der Pflanzer claims that this new
method Is superior to any other thus
far tried, as it does away with all cx-
pensive cup arrangements and is also q
labor saving device. 1t would Ger
tainly be worth while giving the vine
Ear rag method a good trvout on the
Hawaiian plantations which are now
practically abandoned on account of
the high cost of tapping and the low
prices for rubber.

oLAA CANE Is GOOD

Manager c. F. Eckart Of Olan re-
ports that there is only seven inches
of water in the main fiume, which
of course will materially delay the
balance of the 1918 harvest. There
have been good showers at the lower
elevations and the cane fields ara all
growing fine. The water shortage is
all at the water heads, above the cane
fields
Olaa Sugar Company has harvested
$4,000 tons to date and has shipped
23,500 tons. The manager January
estimate called for a $4,000 ton crop
and the full amount will be forth com-
ing if only good supply ,of water
can be secured in the main fumes tor
another six weeks or so.

Near Catastrophe.

Mr.. j. M. Russell, who oper-

establishment, two doors west of

on his life Wednesday afternoon.
He was washing clothes in gaso-
line. in the rear of his shop,
when the gas ignited from the
fire in a nearby stove. In q
flash Mr.. Russell was enveloped
in flames and rushed out the
back door where prompt assist
ance extinguished his burning
clothes. Fortunately DR.. Spran-
kle was in his office next door,
and no time was lost attending
the injured man. Both arms
from the elbow to the wrist are
badly burned, and it will be
several weeks before Mr.. Russell
will be able to resume his duties.
The fire department responded
to the call, but the fire was
smothered out before they ar
rived. The damage consisted
entirely in the destruction of
several suits of clothes that had
been washed in gasoline, and
were hanging on the line at the
time of the accident. At the
time going to press Mr.. Russell
is resting as comfortably as could
be expected from the nature of
his wounds, and all danger of
complications setting in is past.
He is to be congratuled upon his
escape without any more serious

sary to resign on account Of his

sever his connection of years,
and express our deep gratitude
and appreciation for his untiring
efforts in behalf of the stock
holders and the bank. +"
