SEEK MORE FISH TO CAN
Led to Inquiries as to Where II
Can Be Had.

There is perpetual and increas-
ing demand for canned fish of all
sorts. The utilization of the dogfish,
Or grayfish, as 1t is more politely
called, has added to the opportunl-
lies of the eastern Gamers but those
westward for still further supply.
The yellow and blue fin tuna (known
as the horse mackerel when they up
pear in eastern waters), the dolphin
and bonita are plentiful in Hawaiian
waters, and Pacific coast Gamers are
making inquiries as to the possibility
Of securing a catch large enough to
warrant the establishment of can
neries on the islands.
The commercial fisheries of Hawaii
are almost exclusively In the hands
Of the Japanese. A few years ago
they formed small companies to oper-
ate hand-prOpelled sampans. These
brought the fish to the Hawaiian mar
kets, where the catch was sold at auc-
hon. The gasoline boats have taken
the place of those propelled by oars
Or sails and these have steuming
radius of thousand miles. They are
equipped with ice chambers, SO that
the fish may be kept from four to six
days.
Large corporations have been
formed. One company controls $50
japanese boats and another 40. The
tuna Mt present prices, retailing at 10
to 20 cents pound, is too costly to
permit of canning with profit. The
bonita sells at cents or less and
might he used to advantage, as 1t is,
very plentiful.
There is also little sardine fish
that is taken in great numbers. The
establishment of United States gar
risons at or near Honolulu has
greatly increased the demand for
fish, but no survey has yet been made
which determines whether canneries
can be made commercially profitable.

An estimate based on figures gath
cred by the manufacturing department
of the Aeollan company places the pro-
duction of pianos in the United States
in 1916 at 100000, compared with $780,
600 In 1914. For the first time in sew
eral years the American piano manu-
facturers find their plants working ut
maximum capacity.
Prosperity accompanying the war
has stimulated domestic buying to an
unusual degree, according TO the com
pany. This, coupled with our increas-
ing export business, has created n de-
mand that is taxing factory capacity
In this country. Foreign buying from
new and unexpected sources is APP
pearlug in the market every few days.

CARNATIONS RENEWING P0PU-
lARITY

Shortly after the death Of the late
n perfect wave of popularity, due
largely to the fact that Mr.. Mckinley
was particularly fond of the flower
and nearly always wore one in his but
tonhole. For a time, following the
first interest in the flower, it seemed
to be on the wane as public favorite.
Now the carnation is riding back to
the place of leading fad. The deal
ers do not know why, but they are
getting a demand for more of the car
nation family than they have for years,
White, pink and deeper red are the
shades in vogue, although some of the
mixed flowers sell well.

GirIsi Try Thlsl Makes Hair Thick,

More itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing al over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with
Danderlne and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance Of
abundance; an Incompatible luster
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25 cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty, and soft
as any---that 1t has been neglected or

THE WINTER SUN PARL0R

one of the very easiest luxuries to
have Is a sun parlor for the winter.
There is no more delightful adjunct TO
a home than sun parlor and the out
lay for its. making Is inconsiderable
when compared to the comfort and Joy
that it brings. The parlor may be
built as an added thought TO a home
already constructed, or 1t may be mere
ly the adaptation of a balcony or
porch, converted by simply closing in
the porch with glass. The furnishings
are simple. A few large and comfort
able chairs, lounge, n table and q rug
or two make up the prime essentials.
OF course one may have flowers in the
sun parlor with advantage TO both the
parlor and the flowers.

PUSCHKlNIA LITTLE KNOWN

1t is surprising how little known is
the puschkinia among the bulb plants
that are worth while. 1t is very
charming flower and is worth a place
in any garden. 1t is one of the very
cheapest of the bulb family. The
bulbs only cost about one cent each.
When once placed they produce benu-
tiful spikes of flowers each spring.
The spikes rarely grow more than half
a dozen inches high, but each Of them
will produce from 10 to 30 flowers,
and they are lasting. The bulbs are
planted at the same time and in the
same way as other members Of the
bulb tribe, being set about three inches
apart.

KEEPING THE FORESTS ALIVE
BY ELIZABETH VAN eENTAuvsEN

BY ELIZABETH VAN 5ENTHUYSEN
Mankind is very peculiar collective
animal. Somebody said that the av-
erage man spends the first half Of
his life trying to destroy his health
and the second half trying to rebuild
it. That is surely his method of
handling most of the propositions that
confront him.
This is more strikingly illustrated
In the case of forestry than in any
other respect. Once let the march OF
progress begin and the ring of the
woodlands AK is heard and the path
of civilization is marked by the fallen
trees. Then comes the time when it
becomes apparent that the rebuilding
of the forests Is prime essential and
the people go to more trouble to recre-
ate what they have destroyed with Law
iSh hand than would ever have been
necessary had n little foresight been
exercised.
Showing the extent of the govern
mental interest in replanting the for
ests, there will be more than 100000
trees available next spring for refcr-
esting operations from the stock now
In the Pennsylvania state nurseries
alone.
More than half of the 100000 are
white pines. Some figures on the re-
mainder of the stock will be of gem
eral interest. Norway spruce number
1,013,O0O; Scotch pine, 1,2S3,000; pitch
pine, 10000; European larch, $4,000 ::
japanese larch. $4,000; sugar maple,
1000; and Douglass fir, 1000.
Last spring 10 bushels of black
cherry seeds were planted, In the hope
that trees might be produced which
would serve for timber and for bird
food. The unfavorable 4 weather re-
suited in making the crop almost a
complete failure.
A million and one-half trees were
planted last year by private indlvidu-
ais from stock supplied by the depart

water in cold weather as in summer,
which helps to flush the kidneys. Again,

Why rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather
BY VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, M. d.

A close connection exists between
these two - cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid or its
salts in excess, is the real cause OF rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance OF their
water as soon as it gets cold there is
often a copious sediment OF brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation OF uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
sf the double burden. Another reason
