A CHILD'S TONGUE
SHOWS If LIVER OR
BOWELS ARE ACTIVE
If cross, feverish, sick, bilious, give
fruit laxative at
once.

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup of

because they love its pleasant taste and

tie stomach, liver and bowels without
gripping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath il bad, stomach sour, look at the
tongue, Mother. If coated, give a tea
spoonful of this harmless "fruit laxa-
tive, and in n few hours all the foul,
constipated waste, sour bile and undi-
gested food passes out of the bowels,
and you have a well, playful child
again. When its little system is full of
cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,

Der, good "insidc cleansing should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep California
Syrup Of Figs handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves n sick child
tomorrow. Ask your druggist for so

Figs, which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Beware of coun-
tcrfcits sold here, so don I be fooled.

Planting.

Garden seed must be planted not only
at the right time, but at the right depth,
says the National Emergency Food Gar
den commission of Washington, which is
cooperating with this paper in urging
good garden planting to cut the cost of
living.
Plant seeds shallow, unless special di-
rections tell YOU otherwise. An old
rule is to plant to a depth equal to five
times the width of the seed.

Willing his entire worldly for

acquaintance who was travelling
in the third class cabin, Alex
Smith, a galley worker on the
Makura, jumped overheard from
that vessel the second day out
from Honolulu on the last voy-
age of that ship from here to
Vancouver. Smith, or Glinn, as
his right name was found to be
from his effects, was believed to
have been demented.
The night before he committed
suicide Glinn approached the pas
senger in the third cabin. whom
he had known previously, and
gave him his pack of money, say
ing: Keep this for me. If any
thing happens to me 1 want you
to have it." The next evening
just at dusk he clambered upon

DISTILLERY IN
HAWAII CAN'T
MAKE BOOZE
WASHINGTON OAR COACH DIES.

Refuse waste molasses may be
used as a distilling material for the
production OF nou-beverage goods
only, under the act Of August 10"
With the receipt OF the fore going
cablegram Saturday from the commits.
sioner Of internal revenue, Washing
ton. d. c., Ralph S. tombstone, acting
collector of internal revenue at Homo
lulu, has advised distillery on the
ISLAND Of Hawaii TO cease using refuse
waste molasses for the manufacture
of gin and rum. He has ruled, how
ever, that the distillery may continue
to use refuse waste molasses for the
manufacture of alcohol. 49,.
With a view to determining whether
refuse waste molasses is feed or
food coming within the liquor clause
of the national food law, Acting Col
lector tombstone sent the following
cablegram to the revenue commission
er last Thursday.
Under the act Of August 10, 1917,
can distilleries continue where refuse
molasses is used solely? II discon-
tinued, molasses thrown away"
The reply, quoted above, came last
Saturday afternoon, and Acting Col
lector tombstone Immediately in
formed the Big Island distillery of
its contents. The reply is interpreted
as meaning that the Hilo distillery
will have to close unless it uses the
refuse waste molasses solely for the
cistillation of a spirit which will not
be used for consumption. There is
nothing to prevent the distilIery from
manufacturing alcohol, the acting col
lector thinks, on the ground that al
cohol is not a beverage such as gin
and rum might be termed.
Il was doubtful in interpreting the
law on the question of whether refuse
waste molasses was a food or feed,
said the acting collector today, com
ing within the class which may not be
used for the distillation of spirits.

Fragments of the boiler we're blown

ter the explosion.
Shortly after the bodies of the two
men were removed, an investigation
was started by Walter Dillingham; of
