LOomis' address concerned the work

manager who makes little distinction
in his treatment of laborers and mules
Is coming to close" he commented.
He told of the relative success the
managers are having who take an In
terest in the welfare OF their laborers
as compared with those who don't,
citing one case in particular where
laborers were in the habit of leaving
certain plantation only few weeks
after their arrival in the islands, until
the manager and his wife started to
take an interest in the gardens and
home life of the laborers. Some of
the managers have welcomed the
work of the various Y. NJ. c. A. clubs
in forming education classes and pro-
viding certain forms of sports, while
others take no such interest. Ii pays
a plantation to give some time, atten-
ticn and money to make the laborers
happy and contented. Even a laborer
has. ambition to improve himself
I'm every camp there is a good
crowd and bad crowd, BY forming
Y. Nj. G. A. clubs we naturally attract
only the good crowd, for the gamblers
and boozers will not Join 1t. These
are the kind of problems the managers
must put up with, and since the man.

the College of Hawaii would like
you to know about it. You won't get
the most out OF your work II you are
simply good chemist, and know of
no other interest more worth while
than that OF the men who work for
you.
Recently was talking with book
keeper of one of the large plantations,
and he told me that two-thirds of the
annual expenses of his plantation
were for labor. Every other item was
gaining. BY the methods of modern
business efficiency IL is about time
more attention was being paid to cut
ting down the labor item. The col
lege man is naturally looked up to as

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Do you wear
glasses! Are you a victim Of eye
strain or other eye weaknesses? II
so. you will be glad to know that ac-
cording to DR.. Lewis there is real
hope for you. Many whose eyes were
failing say they have had their eyes
restored through the principle of this
wonderful free prescription. One man
says, after trying it: Il was almost
blind; could not see to read at all.
Now can read anything without any
glasses and my eyes do not water
any more. At night they would pain
dreadfully: now they feel fine all the
time. II was like a miracle to me"
A lady who used it says: The atmos-
phere seemed hazy with or without
glasses. but after using this prescrip-
ton for fifteen days everything seems
clear. can even read the fine print
without glasses" It is believed that
thousands who wear glasses can now
discard them In a reasonable time and
multitudes more win be able to
strengthen their eyes 50 as to be
