Haven't the price of rice gone up %
per cent or more?
Haven't the price of poi gone up %
per cent or more?
Haven't the price of sugar gone up
% per cent or more since 1914, and
are you getting the benefit OF the
freight charges. etc. between here
and New YGrk City, or are you pay
ing the same price for sugar here as
they are paying in the city OF New
York?
Are you going to ask. why don't
the planters here sell sugar in Homo
lulu at New York prices less the
freight charges, handling, insurance,
etc?
With all the articles named sugar is
the one that is required by each and
every family three times a day.
If all the above articles have gone
up, then why shouldn't the price of
fish go up 50 per cent or more? If II
did. it is only in line with the others.
From your letter you seem TO want
those Cinnamon at the market to sell
fish to the poor Hawaiians with a
large IdLIlIS dJ dStuGI NOSt. II lilG(
is done, then who is going to sell the
necessaries of life to those poor
Cinnamon with large families to sup
port" at cost? Where can a poor
Hawaiian or poor ChiIaman or any
other poor man buy sugar at a reason
able profit over the cost Of produc-
ton? Sugar costs $3.50 per 100
pounds to produce and sold as high
as 10 cents a pound. Do you call that
justice to the poor people. in view Of
the fact that they must have it and
have it three times a day? Why don't
you ask your food commission to look
into this first instead of the fish
question? You cannot answer these
questions frankly. Look at the enor-
nous dividends that is being distribu-
ted by the planters monthly. Where
is that money from? The sugar con-
sumers, of course. Then who are the
consumers? You, your family and
all the poor HawaiiaIs and their famt
lies.
You suckers are always clamoring
because you are forced to buy fish at
a slight increase in price having in
mind the idea that the Orientals are
going to declare an extra dividend of
so many millions at the end of the
month Why don't you bark at the
right direction?
A NON-SUCKER.

The anonymous comment sent to
Mr.. Mcmahon On the fish question fol-
lows:
. Honolulu, T. H., Oct. S, 1917.
Since you have shown yourself to
be such a damn fool by writing such
a letter as appeared in the Star-Bul-
letin on October ), am going to ask
you a few kindergarten questions in
connection with the high cost of liv-
ing.
Haven't you felt or don't you know
that everything has gone up all the
way from 10 to 100 per cent ana in
many cases over the latter figure?
This question may be a little too
broad for your narrow mind, so will
specify a few local articles:
Haven't the prices of meat and pork
gone up so per cent or more?
Haven't the prices of poultry and
eggs gone up so per cent or more?
Haven't the prices of milk and but
ter gone up so per cent or more?
Haven't the prices of bread and
pastry gone uD so per cent or more?

,oNLY ONE PEACE MESSAGE.

In the schemes of peace that will settle the issues
now being fought out in France and Belgium and
elsewhere on the battle lines of Europe, there
be only that will give the final word guarantee
ing the peace of the world-unconditional surrender
for the kaisers central powers
There are details in the peace suggestions COM
ing from he council of soldiers and workingmen
Of Russia which indicate that the German conspi-
rators very active in Russia. 1t is not surprs.
ing that the people making up. this council are I'M
able TO appreciate that by advocating return 10
conditions existing before the war and the return
to Germany of its colonies they are PLAYING into
the hands of their enemy. They are not experienced
in world politics, and they have been through
enough in the last year TO warp the viewpoint of
most anyone.
The reason for Germany's anxiety to make peace
at this time is obvious. When the proposals from
Russia discussed in the conference of Paris the
men of vision and judgment will understand that
the only message to be sent the enemy at this time
is notification that we have just begun to fight and
German surrender will be considered at any time

Mr.. Hoover announces that lower prices for food
stuts may be expected in consequence of large crop
increases. Lower first cost of certain staples in
Honolulu does not appear to have any effect on
prices to consumers of products in which such sta
pies elements. On the contrary, there has just
been proclaimed raise in milk along with drop
in the prices of several kinds Of feed for dairy stock
In the Is days prior to October II, for instance,
corn fell $3.50 to $5 ton, barley s. to $3.50, mid
dlings from SOS to $64-G5, alfalfa hay So. Bran in
the same period went up $3.50 to S. ton and wheat
hay 81 to So. Along with these two exceptions may
be noted decline in scratch feed of 81 ton and
oats unchanged-the whole exhibit indicating a
general tendency to lower cost of all animal feeds.
Yet, besides the raise in milk, poultry and eggs
have. gone up-young roosters by to cents a
pound hens , cents, select eggs 10 cents a dozen
and No 1 eggs cents

Weekly Report Of
Union Stock Yards

North Portland, Oct. .10.-The offer
ings that have been brought forward
to the Portland Union Stock Yards for
the week. opening do not constitute
as great a volume as that which was
Offered for the previous week, but they
make up in quality1what they lose in
quantity, inasmuch as the percentage
of good finished killers and high dass
feeders is considerably higher than
was shown last week.
Cattle-The cattle market contin-
ues steady with last week s. prices in
all departments. The operations in the
feeder cattle department have been
rather slow for the day, whereas the
feeder department has been extremely
active. OF the entire volume of 1900
cattle, probably 30 per cent were feed
ers. which changed hands at current
prices. Buyers for this class have been
plentiful in the yards for sometime
past, and many of them left without
getting what they came for, SO that
the feeder market continues strong at
this writing. Feeder cattle are by no
means a drug. The demand is stronger
than a week ago. Quotations: Best
steers $909.75; tgood steers $500
s.75; good COWS $6.75@7.50; ordinary
$4G6.75; heifers $7@s; calves $40
$50; bulls $4@6.50; stocker and feed
ers s4@7.25.
HogsEOne load of hogs .ehanged
hands al $685., though this perhaps
should not be considered characters
tie of market conditions. While the
top extended to $685., the bulk Of
the sales were about $17.75 with n
load at SIS. The market continues act
i've in the feeder department with n
heavy demand. Quotations: Prime
light s17.75@1S; prime heavy S17 500
I7.75: bulk $17.75; pigs $15.50m17.
Sheep-Conditions continue firm in
the sheep department with the volume
of business somewhat smaller than
thee previous week. Neither packers,
feeders or breeders are receiving
nOugh sheep to meet their wants. The
following quotations are %eurrent:

SALTS If BACKACAY
AND kidneys HURT
Drink Lots Of Water and Stop
e Z Eating Meat for a While If
Your Bladder Troubles
You

s31When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
oyerworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When YOU kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body s: urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy
full of sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and you are obliged
TO seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night.
Either consult a good, reliable ply
stefan at onee or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutrallze
acids in the urine so it no longer lr-
ritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. Tt Is inexpensive, cannot
iniure and makes a delightful, effer-
veseent lithia water drink.

In Cold Storage

Chicago, Oct. 10.-A quarter of a
billion more eggs were in cold storage
in the big warehouses of the country
October l than at the corresponding
date last year. At the same time there
has been practically no demand for
eggs for export, compared with the
hundreds Of thousands of cases that
were shipped abroad in 1916.
But in the face of these two impor-
tant factors that should make for low

Plan to Fight High
Price Of ALI FOodstufs

Chicago, Oct. lO.-A plan to fight
high food prices with publicity was
announced today by Harry A. Wheeler
food administrator for this district.
Housewives, under his plan, win be
informed daily through the newspa-
pers, just what the price of staple ar
ticles should be. The price will be fixed
by a committee of three, represent
ing the fdral food administration,
wholesale grocers and retailers, spe-
cial sales and giving premiums will
be banned and groeers will make but
one delivery a day.
Al hommitte representing the re-
tailers already has fixed the margin
of profit they are to receive on po-
t%atoes, flour and sugar. On potatoes
the maximum profit win be ten cents
a bushel, with an additional ten cents
for delivery. The profit on standard
brands of flour will be 81, a barrel.
On sugar it will lbe three-fourths Of
a cent q pound.
