China Liner TO
BE TAKEN over

S. W. Good, who is reported by
cable to have been named as the Hono
lulu agent for the Pacific Mail Steam.
ship CO., is unknown to the officers OF
the China Mail liner in port today
They think that he is probably a
Grace & Co. man who has been select.
ed for the Honolulu position. The
China, or Pacific Mail, is now a subsi,
diary company of Grace & Co. Of San
Francisco.
The China liner has received no in
formation since leaving Sa- Francisco
that 1t has been commandeered by the
government, although it was rumored
on the coast that she was to be taken
over, but probably maintained on the
Oriental run.
Both Captain r. o. Demarst, the
ships master, and c. J. James, the
purser, state that no particular pre-.
cautions were taken en- the voyage
from the coast, due to the German
raider now in the Pacific.

STOMACH MEDICINES
= ARE DANGEROUS
DOCTORS NOW ADVISE MAeNEslA

Just how dangerous it is to indis-
criminately dose the stomach with
drugs and medicines is often not real
lied until too late. 1t seems so sim
/ e to swallow a dose of some special
mixture or take tablets of soda, pep
sin, bismuth, etc, after meals, and the
folly of this drugging is not apparent
until, perhaps years afterward, when
il is found that gastric ulcers have al
most eaten their way through the
stomach walls. Regrets are then I'M
availing; it is in the early stages
when Indigestion. dyspepsia, heart
turn, flatulence, etc, indicates exces.
sive acidity Of the stomach and fer
mentation Of food contents that pre-.
caution should be taken. Drugs and
medicines are unsuitable and often
dangerous-they have little or no. in
fluence upon the harmful acid, and
that is why doctors are discarding
them and advising sufferers from IN
digestion and stomach tr uble to get
rid of the dangerous acid and keep
the food contents bland and sweet by
taking a little pure bisurated magne-
STA instead. Bisurated Magnesia is an
absolutely pure anti-acid which can be
readily obtained from any drug store
1t is absolutely harmless, is practical
ly tasteless and teaspoonful taken in
a little warm or cold water after meals,
will usually be found quite sufficient
to instantly neutralize excessive acid
ity of the stomach and prevent all
possibility of the food fermenting.-

CUSTOMS OFFICER GETS
OPIUM AND YEN SHEE

Two opium and yen shee hauls and
one arrest were made yesterday morn
ing from Inter.Island steamers by
Customs Inspector J. H Oliveira. Act
ing on suspicion, he stopped and
searched a basket which was carried
by All Ping, Chinese fireman on the
Mauna Kea. He found a small package
of yen shee, or opium which has been
smoked once.
The second search resulted in bigger
game, when All Hin, one of the Chinese
firemen on the steamer Kaiulani, was
discovered to have two tins of opium
concealed on his person. In his hand
he carried a package of yen shee.
All Hin was placed under arrest and
turned over to the federal officers.
The two tins of opium are worth
$246. as the last reported sale of opium
in Hilo was at 1923 a tin.
No intimation could be gained from
the Cinnamon as to where they secured
the opium and yen shee.

COAL DENIED
NEUTRAL SHIPS
BY THE ALLIES

WASHINGTON, Oct "A final
movement to prevent supplies from
reaching Germany from the outside
world was taken today by the Ameri-
can government In deciding TO refuse
coal TO neutral ships carrying supplies
from South America 10 the northern
European neutral countries. unless
their cargoes are inspected in Amerl-
can ports.
In making known the decision TODAY
the exports administrative board an
nOunced that 1t would apply provisions
Of the exports control act, which gives
the government the same supervision
over bunkers it has over the eXporta'
tion Of goods generally.
The step was taken with the approx
al OF all the allies, who will cooperate
by enforcing similar regulations. 1t
follows closely Great Bsitains declara'
ton of a complete embargo against the
northern European neutrals, which
was designed TO strengthen the emoar'
go already put into force by the Unit
ed States.
NO final policy has been yet decid-
ed on" the statement said. because
the board has not been able to obtain
information from the governments OF
the northern neutrals, repeatedly re-
cuested, as to their resources and re-
puirements and other information
necessary for intelligent action. The
matter still is under discussion with
the neutrals and with the foreign gov;
ernments associated with rs in the
war"

YEARS SUPPLY OF

Fifty-tfree merchantmen. represent

now under construction in twelve lead
ing built in different less important
figure does not include a number OF
other merchantmen which are now be-
ing built in deterrent less important
shipbuilding yards. Since the war
broke out, the shipbuilding industry
has made q marked development and
according to information emanating
from most reliable sources, this coun'
try will be able to turn out merchant
men aggregating 10000 tons yearly.
Meeting a large demand for mer-
chantmen, many Of these leading
shipbuilding yards are now contem-
plating an expansion in their plants
on a large scale and as soon as they
are completed this country will be
able to produce merchantmen, show
ing total tonnage Of 100000 an
nually, several leading shipbuilders
here believe. Regarding the ship
building, no issue has ever been more
serious than the recent embargo on
steel and iron shipments in the Uni
ted States, AS soon as this ban be-
came known in this country, the
leading shipbuilders jointly wired to
Viscount X. Ishii, Japan's envoy ex-
traordinary to the United States, ask
ing him to approach the authorities in
Washington to shift the ban, especial
ly In favor of Japan for this issue has
a vital blow for the future of the ship
building industry here.
However, the recent despatchs from
Washington are not altogether hope
full and the shipbuilders here cannot be-
optimistic over the issue. Most of the
leading shipbuilders have a stock OF
materials lasting at least for the next
twelve months. These fifty-three YES
sells with aggregate tonnage of $4,000
in twelve different shipbuilding yards
in this country and which will be
finished in the near future are as
follows:
