WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to b
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am.
bition, nervousness, are often times symp.
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR.,

Red Blood and Courage ]
(BY DR.. v. 9. LU0Aa }

What drives the men right up to the
trenches in this war is courage, and it's
red blood that cputs the heart Ia the
men. Did any one ever see a puny, thin
blOoded man ever rush into the fight with
any chance Of winning out With rich,
pure blood you can face any hardship,
reach any goal. But you are handi-
capped in the race of life without Il.
Every tissue, bone, muscle, should take
from the blood certain materials and
return to it certain others. When the
poisons accumulate in the blood, perhaps
the face breaks out in pimples, or boils
appear on the neck, and we feel languid,
tired, our vitality is at g low ebb, and
We easily catch cold.
It's time to take an Alternative extract
and blood-purifieT, taken from Natures
forests, Such q one is made up Of
Golden Seal, Blood and Stone root,
Oregon Grape and Queens root - ex.
tracted with glycerine and made into
sugar-coated tablets or liquid, and this

ALCOHOL INCREASES FATIGUE.

Fatigue is due to the action upon
nerve endings and nerve cells of pois-

body as the result Of muscular me-

doses, another poison in the form OF
alcohol is only to make matters

sand years OF alcoholic saturation."
"All life should evolute," he says;
"alcohol produces evolution. Take the
largest and finest breed of dogs-the
Great Dane, for example-and for
three or four generations feed them
daily little alcohol and what Is the
result7 What was previously large,

yet we feed men on this lethal poison

"In this dawn Of the twentieth CEN
fury 1t may be truthfully affirmed that
the aggressive war brain is the brain
that directly, or indirectly through he
redity, has been poisoned by alcohol.
The alcoholic brain cannot evolve
those emotions of the human soul that
make for peace. We may talk peace,
Iegisate for peace, and make peace

the brain is freed from the corroding
effects Of alcohol.

Rules Less Drastic Than Ger
many's, But Less Lax
Than Ours.
EXPLAINED BYLORD RHONDDA
Chief Aim lie to Safeguard the inter.
est Of Consumers First Of ALL
Imposes Little compul-
sorry RationIno.

Washlngton.-Three general policies
10 food saving are now being main
talned by three great nations, the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many.
The German idea is strict rationIng
OF the consumer, and recently the Unit
ed States food administration issued
figures showing the present German
ration, which Is meager as to variety
and far below average dletetIc re-
qulrements.
The American idea in food saving is
to secure voluntary cooperation, as far
as possible, from both the public and
the producer and handlers Of food ar
ticIes.
The British idea lies between the
two. AS little compulsory rationing as,
possible is imposed upon the general
public. But there is a farreaching and
rIgid supervision Of all food articles
by regulating the manufacturers and
merchants, by the establishment of
maximum prices, and after December
80 ratlOning cards are to be issued for
sugar.
What Lord Rhondda Says.
A statement just issued by Lord
Rhondda, the British food controller,
describing the British system of food
control gives succinct and clear
picture for comparison of the food-Sav-
Ing measures which are now being fol-
lowed in the United States.
Lord Rhondda says:
my aim is to safeguard the inter
ests Of the consumer, to do away With
proflteering altogether and to prevent
excessive profits of any kind. The
framework Of our machinery is formed
on the civil service. They are the ad-
ADMINISTRATORS, but in all cases we Sc
cure the best available business men to
advise them, as well as a number of
expert committees dealing with almost
every food commodity. The policy is
TO limit profits at every step from the
producer to the consumer, and at the
same time to regulate supply.
"A costlngs department under the
direction of chartered accountants has
been set up, through which the profits
made by any manufacturer or retailer
Of food can be ascertained. The cOun-
try has been divided into separate
areas, in each of which leading firm
Of accountants has been appointed by
this department to do the necessary

war rates is added to the present cost.
the price limits agreed on that basis,

Sixteen Food Divisions.
Decentralization is obtained by d.
vlding Great Britain into 16 food d.
visions, consisting of so many coun-
ties. Each division is under the SUI
perintendence Of commissioner APP
pointed by the food controller. In
each of these divisions the borough, |
urban or rural district councils, or
other local authorities appoint local
food committees, with limited powers
and certain discretion, to carry odt
such regulations as regards price and |
distribution as may be issued from I
headquarters.
Local tradesmen are registered with
their local committees, and If any
tradesman does not carry out regula-
lions and orders he may be struck Off

THE woRKINoMAN's BURDEN.

Every workingman carries on his
back a nonproducer. The laborer
who pays his bills is charged a higher
price to cover the loss the storekeeper
sustains by failure of the drinking
man to pay what he owes. When
crime is committed or family impov-
erished by the drink-debauchery Of its
natural support, the cost appears on
the tax bill of the man who labors.
Jobs are made by the consumption
Of products, and If money is not spent
for booze, it will be spent for other
things which must be produced by
labor.-From the Cyclopedia of Tenn
perance.

VALUABLE HOME
GROWN BEANS

The County Agent is making in
teresting discoveries that may prove
to be of much value in the matter
of food production as we'll as of
commercial advantage.
Inquiry has developed the fact
that Kauai imports from Honolulu
some $50 to 200 bags a month of
azuki beans worth 6 or 8 cents a
pound, Of which our japanese
friends are very fond. Experiment
proves that this bean grows to much
better advantage here than in Japan
and that we can supply our own
demand right here with consequent
double saving of both profit and
transportation.
On the strength of this discovery
Mr.. G. A. Rice is planting a very
considerable area of them by way
of experiment, but with every as
surance of success.

Why November
Territorial Fair?

November seems an unfortunate
month for an Agricultural Fair such
as that proposed for Honolulu this
Fall. Perhaps it is the time for
New England with Fall fruits and
vegetables coming in. But here
about the only thing we have in
IT'S prime Just then is the sugar
cane, and we can hardly make
much of Fair out of that even if
it is our main product. With this
exception, field and garden pro-
ducts, agricultural and horticul-
tural, are at low ebb, even for the
Tropics.
To hold a Fair in a Summer land
like this and have to make up the
exhibit out of canned and preserved
products, with the artificial sheen
Of glass instead Of the natural bloom
of fruit; this is folly.
Let us have our fairs when things
are at the prime, not when they are
at their worst.

Hawaii and the
Submarine Problem

A recent number of the Adver-
tiser comments most favorably on
the valuable invention of a son OF
Hawaii, Hamilton McCubbin, chief
engineer for many years OF the
Pioneer Plantation at Lahaina. This
invention has been accepted by the
American government and prom
ises to be very effective IN dealing
with the submarine problem. 1t is
known that this invention is one
Of the most important, if not the
most important, yet developed in
this line.
This McCubbin has already made
several valuable inventions in the
line of mill machinery and railroad
appliances so that he is by no
means a novice in the matter OF in
ventions. He stands in the very
front rank among the mill engineers
of the Islands.
1t is perhaps a matter OF per-
sonal interest that Mr., McCubbin is
a foster brother of our Mr., Lyd-
gate. Left an orphan, he was
brought up by the Lydgate's in
their family in Hilo, and from
there he was sent to the Coast for
his mechanical training.

fancy overlook them; they camped
right down and were Independent
of hotels or elaborate service.
They are enthusiastic, not somuch
about the roads that are, but about
those that are going to be. All a
long the line, the remaining bad
stretches are in process of recon-
struction, and in a couple of years
or so, there will be a magnificent
boulevard the whole way up and
down the Coast. That will be the
time for the rest of us to make the
trip.
