The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifler at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice thru a fine cloth SO no
lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan, and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try it! Make up a quarter pint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage it daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands. 1t should nat
urally help to whiten, soften, freshen,
and bring out the hidden roses and
beauty of any skin. 1t is wonderful
for rough, red hands.
Your druggist will sell three ounces
of orchard white at little cost, and
any grocer will supply the lemons

DEMAND WAY BILLS FOR r.. g. r..
Slip ShOd Method of Handling Freight
Ordered Abolished by Commission.

The Car Service Commission of the
American Railway association has
promulgated a new rule designed to
reduce delays in the movement of
freight Except in the larger bust
ness centers, shippers frequently fail
to furnish bills of lading or shipping
tags to local agents. This causes in
definite delay in the movement of
freight from the shipping point, if the
agent holds the freight until proper
way bill can be made out.
1t has been a common practice of
agents at the smaller towns and ship
ping points to load into cars freight
without regular way bills for it. AS
result, large number of cars have
been held at Interchange points and
at destinations of shipments in many
cases for long periods.
To avert such delays in future of
freight and cars, on October 1 will
go into effect the new rule of the car
service commission that no carload or
less than carload freight is to be
loaded into cars unless accompanied
by regular way bills fully filled out.

money has been judiciously expended.
Personally, | do not believe in giving
one official lump sum TO spend as
he sees fit. Sometimes discretion
gives way TO favoritism and becomes
dangerous procedure.
The governor has 10 days in which

APPORTIONMENT
COMES TO FORE

That old bugaroo the apportiOnment
question has come again into its own.
Senator NJ. G. Pacheco has prepared
a bill for introduction in the upper
house bringing apportionment to the
fore
Pacheco'S measure would make the
apportionment along the population rs
shown by the 1910 census. The num-
Der of senators would remain un.
changed but lower house changes
would be numerous.
in the first representative district
only would the number of legislators
remain as now. The second would
have three instead of four: third, five
instead of six; fourth, eight instead of
six; fifth. eight instead Of six; SIXTH
two instead of four.
Honolulu would thus gain by four

STATEHOOD FOR
HAWAII IS ASKED
IN RESOLUTION

Statehood for the territory of Ha-
wall in a concurrent resolution was
presented this afternoon by Senator NJ.
{: Pacheco.
Hawaii, the state" declares the
resolution, is as certainly the natural
and ultimate destiny of this territory
as was the annexation by and admis-
sion as an integral part of the United
States of America" The resolution,
which was referred to the printing
committee, follows:
Whereas, the people of Hawaii,
previous to the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands by the United States
of America in the year 1898, had es-
tabIished and maintained for more
than five decades an independent ma
tional government, recognized by all
the governments OF the world; and
thereby demonstrated their capacity
for self-gOV as sovereign
state, and
w hereas, Immediately following
the annexation OF Hawaii by the Omit
ed States, Congress passed an Organic
Law giving Hawaii the status OF
territory, which form OF government
has been the traditional stepping
stone 10 statehood, and
Whereas, under this form of gov
eminent the citizens OF the Territory
of Hawaii have conducted their gov
eminent and domestic affairs in a pro-
gressiI", able and patriotic manner,
proving abundantly their ability for
the development of the highest stand
ards and ideals OF American citizen
ship among all classes OF it's cosmO-
politan population, and
whereas, Hawaii, the state, is as
certainly the natural and ultimate des-
tiny OF this territory, as was the annex
alton by and admission as an integral
part OF the United States of America,
and
whereas, the splendid record of
our people, the evidences of their en-
terpriSe, the proofs of their intelli-
2enCe, patriotism and ambition is such
as to command for them a respect and
Ct nfidence eQualing that accorded the
citizens o. any state in the Union,
Therefore. be it resolved. by the

ritcry of Hawaii. the house of repre-.
ConCurrins. that the Con-
gress OF the United States of America

LEGISLATORS ON
ABATEMENT BILL
NONCOMMITTAL
House Members Want to See
Proposed Law: Public
Hearing Undecided

Apparently not a large percentage
OF legislators were present last night
at the opera house to hear The discus
SION on the abatement law.
Senator George P. Cooke, chairman
of the health committee in the upper
house. which is considering the bill
now there. was one of those who heard
the speeches with interest.
Cooke said today that he considered
il a highly important meeting and one
which did much toward unifying the
forces attempting 10 drive out COM
mercialized vice.
He has not yet decided whether he
will call public hearing on the ques-
ton as chairman Of the health COM
mittee.
Representatives Non-committal
With one or two exceptions, mem
bers OF the house are not committing
themselves on the senate bill provid-
ing for abatement by injunction. A
majority of the representatives have
not read the bill and have not been
informed of its contents, and give this
reason for not expressing their
opinions one way or the other.
A report was current today that the
Democratic representatives may make
a strong fight against the bill when it
comes to the house. Representative
William f. Miles said today that, so
far as he has been informed regarding
the provisions OF the bill. he will op-
pose it. He has not read the bill yet,
he says.
One Member Speaks Out

think some provision should be made
for a regulated restricted district in
Honolulu, because of the large num-
Der of soldiers here"
Asked If the other Bourbon house
members would take the same stand.
Miles said he did not know.
Cooke Openly Favors
Representative Clarence H. Cooke
says that, while he has not read the
bill, he undoubtedly would favor it.
Speaker H. L. Holstein. also ignorant
as to the measures provisions, be.
lieves he would support it, Represen-I
tatives Petrie and Wilder decline to
commit themselves. Representative
Andrews also will make no statement.

bers prefer to wait until they have

Is to increase the county reaIizatious

Treasurer c. J. Mccarthy also came
to the meeting at the request OF the
committee. He expressed the feeling
that such change would be of little
value, and that the financial realiza-
tons would not warrant it.
He mentioned the fact that the tax
commission has recommended the in
crease of apportionment to counties,
which will answer the question finan-
cially if ii goes through.
Chairman Castle announced that. as
Judge Whitney is now on Maui, dis
cussion of Pacheco's other bin regard
