Why Oil Will Still the Troubled Waters
Inmeda lately.

Frequently we hear the expression
that some one poured oil upon the
troubled waters which is linked up
with the discovery that oil poured over
board from a ship in distress will tend
to increase its safety by stopping the
waves from breaking against the ships
side. This is due to the fact that the
oil is composed of molecules which are
more closely compressed than the mole
culcS in water. The oil forms a kind of
blanket through which the waves can
not break, thus protecting the sides of
a ship that has poured overheard
enough oil to cover the sea for few
yards in all directions. The waves be
meath the oil are just as violent as
ever. but they cannot break through.

How the Auto Driver Can Alleviate

Every automobile driver has expert
enced the discomfort of dust in the
eyes and also from the effects Of cold
winds. \ suggestion has been made
that these discomforts may be greatly
alleviated by applying castor oil along
the eyelashes. This, it is claimed. will
catch most of the dust before it can
enter the eye, and also it protects the
eyes from the chilling effect Of the

Supervisor EoIlingcr interviewed
this morning said that the plan to
bring back the various little offices
which had been cut off from the city
and county engineers department in
the last few years, under the manage
ment of one man and empowering
that man to employ and discharge the
men under him at will was perfectly
agreeable to him in some ways but,
that he would like to give the plan
a thorough investigation before sup.
porting &c in full.
Another rumor which gained ground
this morning was in regard to Harry
e. Murray, who was depoSed from his
position of superintendent of wafer
works by the board of supervisors at

that A. S. Cantin, newly-appointed
city and county engineer, would ap-

The question is also raised by the

repayment is to be made out of the

RIA continue to drop. according TO in
formation obtained by the territorial
food commission from Honolulu
dealers.

that on Nay 10 rice on No. !
patent Ii0ur was $40, while today
it is 5000 T 0. b. San Francisco,
which IS j drop OF $500 a barrel, and
this adds the company, should help

Flour prices as Of september % are
quoted hv the company as follows:
Entire wheat !IouT, $3.50 per cNt.;
raham flour. $50 per cwt.; No. l
patent white flour, $5.7714 per CT.
I'll. whole wheat price is about tie
same as that Of entire wheat.
Information given the territorial
food commission by the Sporty Flour
Co. is that white flour is not only
cheaper in price than other flours, but
that it is easier to handle and gives
much better results in every way, as
darker fiours are liable to sour IN
the dough. and the keeping quarry
is not as good as in bread prepared
from white flour The experience OF
the company has been that all kinds
Of cereals, such as Graham and
whole wheat flour, do not keep for
any length of time in this climate.
Henry May & Co. quotes whole
wheat flour at IS cents a bag, retail,
and Graham flour at 40 cents. This
company informs the commission:
Graham and whole wheat flour
could be imported in carload lots and
pa-ked in large containers, which
would greatly reduce the price, but
importation could only be made in
such quantities providing the flour
was sold Immediately after arrival. We
do not care to in TT these grades
of flour in carload lots because of the
risk involved"
