SUFFERING BABY
RELIEVED AT ONCE

Mr.. H. ]. Lamar, Macon, Ca, writes:
"We used Hancock Sulphur Compound
on our one-year-old baby who was
suffering intensely from prickly heat
and a half dozen applications, in the
course of days, entirely relieved her.
When we first applied it, she was
broken out almost over her entire
body, causing fretfulness and loss of
sleep, but she has not suffered since.
You should recommend the Sulphur
Compound strongly to mothers as
many children suffer SO much from
heat. We also used tablespoonful
in her bath for days and it proved
very soothing"

Ointment are sold by all dealers.

Fortune in Waste Paper Basket.

The days when poor men may pros
pect for gold are, pretty well past, but
it seems as though substitute, per
haps less picturesque and exciting,
offers itself in the waste paper baskets
of business corporations.
Not very long ago the Hemingway
Paper Stock company purchased from
the banking firm of Townsend, Wheien
& Co., in Philadelphia, a batch of old
correspondence and papers, to be used
as paper pulp. Tie price paid was $40.
An employee of the purchasing firm
began going over the documents and
letters and discovered a great number
of old, foreign stamps. He reported the
matter to his employers and they or
dered him to go through the whole lot
and pick out every stamp that seemed
unusual. A vast number were col
iected and when shown to A. F. Her.
kels, president of the Philadelphia
Stamp club, he appraised their value
at over $4,000, thus giving the firm a
profit of more than thousand dollars
IN each dollar of their purchase. 9

HELPS IN FLOWER GROWING

Don't drain the soil before the
moisture of winter and spring has
drained from it, so that it will pulver-
ize perfectly. If the soil drops from
the spade in moist, soggy Jumps, be
sure it is not ready to work.
As the frost leaves the soil dig in
the nanure-mulch placed last fall
about the shrubs, roses and hardy per-
ennials. If there be no winter mulch
about such plants. be sure to apply
some kind of fertilizer to them.
A good coat of bone meal in the abb
sence of well-rotted manure will serve.
Scatter it about the base of the plants
after the soil is stirred, and let the
rain drive it to the roots.
Dig strip 15 or 18 inches wide
across the bed or border and then
rake it, beginning at the bottom Of the
trench and fining the soil from the
Eubsoil to the top. Continue this
throughout the length Of the bed, and
then you win have worked the soil
perfectly.

TRANSATLANTIC SEEDLINGS


AS soon as seedlings can be convent
emily handled, transplant in pots or
boxes; give them plenty of room on ell
sides.
Transplanting carefully by hand is
the way professional gardeners do
their transplanting, but forked stick
can be used If carefully handled
Shade from the bright sun for a few
days and water carefully. If the
weather is advanced, give the newly
transplanted plants plenty of air. In
this way they are hardened off Until
they will be able to stand full exposure
in the open ground. Care must be ex-
ercised with all plants removed from
conservatories, hotbeds or from plants
raised in boxes or pots in the house.

HOME GROUNDS BEAUTIFUL
BY BETTY PAKE.

Look out for dahlias. gladiolus and
other rank-growing plants that are
likely to be blown down by the wind
and stake them.
Pick the pansies and nasturtiums
every day If you want to have plenty
Of bloom.
When the lilacs have finished bloom
ing all the seed clusters should be
cut away.
1t is fatal to some plants to fertilize
them with rich manures when the
ground is very dry.
Never allow roses to remain on the
bush until the petals fall.
If the seed is allowed to develop on
the lilac it generally has few flowers
except every other year.
The best way to kill weeds is to
pull them up by hand. Do not allow
them to get ahead of you.
Look out for the red bug and other
enemies of the rose.
An excellent spray for the rose
bushes is made of one-half pound of
laundry soap melted in hot water to
which is added one cupful of kerc-
sene. When this comes to boil. use
about one part to fifteen parts of wa
ter.
Keep the moisture in your soil
around your plants by applying road
dust about the roots during the hot
and droughty weather.
Lawn clippings make an excellent
mulch for bushes, shrubs and large
plants.
Tea roses like to have the soil about
their roots cool and moist. Grass
clippings are good for that purpose.
Spread the grass over the bed to a
depth of two or three inches. AS soon
as it withers work it into the soil
when as it decays it will act as a
fertilizer. Apply fresh clippings.

ACTION IMPERATIVE FOR kauai
HoMESTEADERS.

Governor Pinkham and Land Commissioner
Rivenburgh viii find plenty to do on Kauai
when they go to straighten out the tangled
Kappa Waipouli homestead and the Lihue-
Makee railroad and water-rights agreements.
The situation to which the Advertiser draws
attention today in more than page of news,
interviews and comment is the situation to
which the Star Bulletin directed public atten-
ton more than two weeks ago. And it is a
situation that well deserves the emphasis which
the Advertiser now gives it. For more than a
year the Kauai homestead agreements have
been sup in the air" and the water-rights and
railroad agreements DELAYED. The license
which Col Spalding submitted to the governor,
for land and water rights, railroad rights, ETC.,
has not been approved, and, with public atten-
ton turned on it, is less likely to be considered
as at all approaching a proposition in the
public interest Certainly many of the Kauai
homesteaders feel that they have just
grievance and that this grievance is likely to
be more bitter IN the future if the Spalding Ii
cense goes through.
The approaching visit of the governor may
clear the atmosphere The point made that
the homesteaders are afraid to speak out is
probably correct to a degree. But in private
conversation they have,not hesitated to express
their opinion, and so far as the Star Bulletin
has been informed, that opinion is that most
of the homesteaders would rather enter into
agreements with Lihue Plantation than with
Makee Sugar Company. Until the railroad to
Lhne is constructed such agreements are Inn
possible, which is the imperative reason why
there should not have been this continued de-
lay in settling the vexed questions
The Star-B Bulletin believes that if the terri
torial administration would. take a definite
stand and stick to 1t. making the interests of
the homesteaders Tie first consideration and
guaranteeing the future Of the man with the
small holding, the rival plantation interests
would simply have to settle their differences.
That stand has SO far been lacking

where wrong turn of the wheel, or misstep
of the horse, will send the traveller into space

Sir: Reference to the numerous
questions and answers thereto, What
Can Honolulu do For the Soldiers" or
what Can the Chamber of Commerce
OF Honolulu do For the SoldiersY
(The question is what are they will
ing to do?)
The writer is of the firm belief that
the suggestion made by Chaplain Fea-
ly, Scnofleld Barracks, comes nearer
to the point of solving the question
What Can We Do for the Soldiers"
than any suggestion which has as yet
Deen made, viz:
Give the boys Of Schofield
Barracks nice, large gymna-
Stun building with such construc-
ton as will afford nice riding
hall in the center of the building,
with seating facilities on all four
sides and a. bandstand in one end
of the building; place set aside
for bowling alleys, etc. Nearly all
posts in the United States have
such a building as the writer re-
fers to, and some are deliberately
equipped with swimming pools,
bowling alleys, and all sorts of
athletic equipment The War
Department makes an annual al
lotment for the maintenance of
building and athletic goods re-
quired therein"
No doubt If the good citizens and

view Of erecting a hall such as refer
red to, they would receive good fin
ancial support from the boys of Scho-

WHAT DO THE TAXPAYERS SAW

Editor Honolulu Star-BulIetin. -r
Sir: In this mornings Advertiser, in
q signed letter, my friend Charles R.
Forbes states as follows; =.
Il was under instructions to PRO-
coed to Washington in the interest of
certain legislation desired by the gov.
ernor of the territory, one Of the bills
for which / was to work providing
that the adjutant general of the Ha.
wall National Guard should be an an.
pointee of the president, in order that
there might be a continuity in the pol
Icy OF the guard administration and
that the National Guard might be
placed wholly. outside 81 any POSSIBLE
ity of partisan politics The national
government desired this; the various
ranking officers of the regular army.
In Hawaii had expressed their approx
al of it, and the governor desired it.
AS a matter OF fact, am quite pre-.
pared TO state that nine-tenths Of the
citizens of Hawaii desire it, +
If Charley. as he says, represents
nine-tenths of the citizens of Hawaii,
and | will concede he represents
$4,000 OF our resident Brown Broth
ers, who are not citizens of Hawaii,
/, as one of the remaining one-tenth
OF Hawaii's citizens, would like to
point out that the bill referred to by
Charley was one simply and solely for
the purpose OF landing Sam Johnson,
a Republican, in this position at
higher salary then even that; of the
governor himself. IL -.
The. claim that this bill, fathered by
the governor, was for the purpose of
placing the National Guard outside of
any possibility of partisan politics Is
not very convincing to the average
man, when the same governor, con.
trary to the Organic Act, commissions
three of the most prominent RepubH-
can senator's, one-fffth of the total
number of senators, besides the
speaker of the House of Representa-.
tives, as National Guard officers
1t is very refreshing to know that
this bill to land Sam johnson at $4,000
''per" was one of the bills which
Forbes was sent to Washington to
work FOR at the joint expense, mind
you, of the harbor board and the pub
lie utilities board. Maybe the COVER
nor can justify to himself an order
to the harbor board and the public
utilities board to pay Charley's ex-
penses to Washington in an endeavor
to lift the National Guard out of parti.
san politics, but how can he to the
taxpayers? What difference is it to
those boards whether the National
Guard is injected with partisan poll
tics or not, or whether it is necessary
to pay Sam Johnson $4,000 a year to.
rescue the National Guard from the
political mire which Pinkham says he
found it in and let it stay in for over
a year and half before the uplift
movement was started? .
This whole thing Of taking the Ma
tiona1 Guard out of politics is just
bunk pure and simple. .-..-
