The Dental Office That

Dentists for Is Years

In that time the trust dentists by hook or crook,
have done everything they could to hurt our office,
the ELECTRO DENTAL PARLORS. They tell
their friends that we use inferior materials that we
are not sanitary in our methods that we run cheap
place and employ students, that operations are
incomplete and will have to be done over by one Of
their members. They peddle their little falsehoods
into every ear that will give them a hearing They
can't stand modern methods in dentistry, and they
resort to everything from whispering to out dout
public knocking We have stood the test for 16
years against this sort of thing The recurring visits
of our former patients and zeal they show in sending
new patients are the best proof that our work is
standing the tests and cannot be harmed by the

Tips About What to Order
 and Wear This Summer.
A fashion expert writes:

A fashion expert writes:
 "Of course you are always interested in the new things not only for the pleasure such knowledge affords, but because having a good, broad, general knowledge of fashions past, present and future makes us better shoppers and enables us to be better dressed for less money than if we have no real un- derstanding of fashions and purchase promiscuously without reason, except that q certain garment or accessory tlckles our fancy at the moment.
 As summer advances look for more short sleeves, three-quarter and elbow in length, especially on dresses and fancy blOuses.
 Long skirts are on their way, though frankly feel 1t will be autumn before we see skirts to any extent longer than are now worn. And l be- lieve then the longer skirt will not be popular for the street clothes that bust ness and professional women wear.
 Separate coats, 1t is said, will be cut without any ripple-that is, they will have closer fitting, straight sections. "BOdlces darted and fitted to wear outside the skirt have lately been n- troduced by one of the French design CTS, but here again is fashion that has been slightly In evidence for a long while. You shouldn't worry about being forced to wear them if you don't want to. One never has to wear what one really dislikes in order to be in fashion these days. There are always more than one. and frequently many designs from which to make choice.
 'AIidseasoa should bring silk suits with perky little bolero jackets, many of them having seven-eighths or three quarter sleeves, and nothing could be cooler or more attractive for warm weather wear than suits of this char aCter.
 French designers are sponsoring hats trimmed prorusely with hOwers-a welcome change this after our long ac- ceptancc of severely trimmed or un- trimmed millinery.

POI PRICE may
INCREASE FIVE
CENTS SHORTLY
Reports to Food Commission
Show Dealers Going Out Of
Business; Taro Lands Being
Used for Other Purposes

That the local poi situation is
serious, and that the outlook for TIE
future from the standpoint of the.
manufacturers is rather disCoUraging,
is the summary of a report submitted
Edward H. Marine, meat and food in
sDector. a copy of which has been
handed to the territorial food com
mission.
The price of poi says the report,
has been going up steadily since the
first OF the year, and the chances are
it will keep on climbing for some
time TO come. Il is common talk
among the tarO planters and poi man
ufacturcrs, that If conditions do not
take a change for the better within
short time. the price of poi will
go up ) cents a pound. II is now
selling at the rate Of from six to six
and one-half pounds for - cents. as
against 10 pounds for the same
amount last January;
The planters are not planting as
they used to as the price of labor
is high and much taro land has been
given up to be used for other pur-
poses Owing to shortage of taro,
several poi makers | had on my list
have been forced to close their
places of business, and these places
were some of the best l had on my
list
Il also have other poi makers on
my list who are making only small
amounts Of poi until conditions
change, but if things keep on going
as today, We shall see a few more
go out of business. The five poi
makers who went out of business
represent about 5000 pounds daily,
which is a considerable lot in the
market, although | nave 16 poi max.
ers in the city and county represent
ing an. output OF 21,S60 pounds daily,
and even with this amount the open
market is short about 5000 pounds"
Not long ago a Hawaiian walked
into the office of ]. F. Child, assis-
tant executive officer of the food
commission, and complained of the
high price of poi Mr.. Child sug-
gested that he go out and endeaVor
to secure some reasons for the high
price. He has submitted very def
mite. report to the commission in
which he says, among other things:
"One hundred and ten acres of tAro
land have already been given up.
That makes 27,500 bags of taro, an
average of $50 bags of taro to the
acre. For 1880 bags, an average
of 81 pounds of poi in a bag, that
makes 2,502,500 pounds of poi short
for one year, and the daily average
of the shortage OF poi is 6S57 pounds
in this city, -: Il
But taro from the other islands
and. outside districts Is making up a
fraction of this shortage. This short
age is the main cause of high prices,
plus the high labor and cost of liv.
ing" " ...:..~..-..- .....
Outlining his reasons for the poi
manufacturers going out of business,
the Hawaiian says: :. ..~....'-' -~-
The reasons for the small poi
makers going out of business are:
First, they have no taro of their
own: second, they pay too high prices
for their taro; third, they were forced
to pull their taro before 1t was ma
ture; fourth, they have too many
credit accounts" -. -. ....

Genius and Hair,

Charles Kassal has carefully review ed the biographies of most of the emi- nent men of the world and has tabulat- ed the results of his work, so far as the color of the hair is concerned. Dark brown to black is the prevailing hue on the heads of great men. A list of fifty names has been compiled in which the color of the hair is given by biogra- phers, and 90 per cent are dark brown or black. The structure of the hair whether straight or curly-is given on twenty-six of Mir. Kasseps list of ge- niuses, and of these all but four pos sessed curly or wavy hair. It is ex- tremely notable that, of the remaining four, Napoleon and President Jackson were the two remarkable for "wiry hair," and that James Russell Lowell and Grieg were those having lank. straight hair.

FACTS AS TO OIL
 OCCURRENCE EXPLAINED

The following non-technica1 explain ation of facts as to oil occurrence is made by the Geological Survey:
 "Oil occurs in porous rocks at va. rious depths, generally the porous rocks are sandstone and irf few places limestone have furnished oil. Porous beds, even when they are in cluded in formations that may be oil bearing, do not generally contain oil in large aggregations or polls ex- cept in places where they have beer bent into more or less definite folGs, when the oil if present is usually in the upward folds or anticlines and domes. There is no way of certainly determining that oil exists beneath the surface of the ground in large quantities in any proven area except hy drilling. Films of oil on water, oil seeps or springs, gas amenatioEs, asphaltic deposits. and rocks satr- rated with oil or emitting the odoI of petroleum are favorable indications of the presence of oil or gas or both ir rocks below or near by. They do not prove, however, that these substances exist in paying quantities or indicate the depth at which they occur. Thin films of oil on the surface of the WI ter in bogs or marshes may result from the decay of organic matter {; the surface; also films of iron oxide, which accumulate in such places, may be mistaken for oil, and such occur rences should be carefully distin- guished for actual oil seeps.''

AMERICA VESPUCCl.
She Asked Congress For Citizenship
 and "a Corner of Land"

She Asked Congress For Citizenship
 and Ia Corner of Land"
 A decided sensation was created at Washington during the Van Buren ad- ministration by the appearance there of u handsome and we'll dressed Italian woman who called herself America Vespucci and claimed descent from the navigator who gave his name to the continent Ex-President Adams and Daniel Webster became her especial friends. and she soon was a welcome guest in the best society. In few weeks after her arrival she presented petition to congress asking, first, to be admitted to the rights of citizenship and. secondly. to be given "a corner of land" out of the public domain of the country which bore the name of her ancestor. An adverse report, which soon was made. is one of the curiosi, ties of congressional literature. 1t GU logized the petitioner as "a young. dig nified and graceful lady. with mind of the highest intellectual culture and a heart beating with all our own en- thusiasm in the cause of American and human liberty." The reasons why the prayer of the petitioner could not be granted were given, but she was com. mended to the generosity of the Amer ican people.
 "The name of America. our country's name. should be honored, respected and cherished in the interesting exile from whose ancestor we derive the great and glorious title"
 Later it was discovered that the wo. man was an impostor.-"Perley's Rem, iniscences."
