HILO, Oct. LIT was reported AZ
meeting of the board of trade of
Hilo on Tuesday last that the sale of
territorial bonds TO local people was
going on all right and that over one
hundred thousand dollars had been
subscribed by local OanEs. 1t was al
so announced by J. w. Russell, one OF
the members OF the board of trade
committee which has charge of the
matter, that several firms had beer
considering the matter of purchasing
local bonds and that they probably
would do so.
Mr. Russell said that the First Bank
of Hilo had promised to take up $780,
| 600; the Peoples Bank a similar
amount and Bishop & Company SIC.
| 900. Hackfeld & Company and the
Hilo Mercantile Company would, it is
expected, also take up blocks of the
! bonds
1t was also stated that there was 4
chance of the Inter-Island Steamship
Company taking up bonds. the pro,
ceeds of which would be applied to
wharf building in HiIo.
When this announcement was made
by Mr. Russell. c. Castendyke inQuir-
ed as to what was the most favored
project upon whivh to eXpend the
money raised by the bonds.
1t turned out that the concerns that
were taking up bonds seemed TO favor
the expenditure of the money upon a
concrete road to the volcano before
anything else. In fact most of the
money was pledged on that under
| standing.
R. w. Filler stated 1t as his en-
phatic opinion that the first money
should be expendeu upon wharf for
Hilo. Such a wharf is an absolute ne
cessity, whereas a concrete road tc
j the volcano is a luxury that could he

Shoe men and haberdashers seen

because shoes and mems furnishings

Steamship men hold that it is too

Wheat Bran

NNE of the Oldest and certainly the most
~ valuable remedies in the treatment OF
constipation is ordinary wheat bran. Bran
contains a large amount of Cellulose in an
indigestible form. The apprehension when
some authors have expressed concerning the
irritating effects of bran are wholly Wlth-
out foundation. AS n matter of fact. when
well softened with water, bran Is no longer
an irritant. but is an emolient. The thln
films of CeluloSe become as soft and plaDle
as wet paper, and excite the bowel not
by scratching or irritating It, but by gem
tie Utilization, so to speak and by giving
to the food sufficient mass to distend the
intestine and stimulate it to vigorous ac-
tivity
In its ordinary commercial form, bran
is scarcely fit for use, on account OF the
large amount Of dirt which it contains, in
Guiding multitudes of bacteria. For in
teStinal use as "A laxative, it should be
carefully prepared by thorough cleaning
and washing of the wheat before grirdng
and by sterilization of the bran. one or
two rounded teaspoonfuls should be taken
at each meal the amount depending
upon the character of other foods taken.
The writer has never seen any i'll effects
from the use of sterilized bran. Bran is a
much more efficient laxative than mineral
waters of any sort, besides being harmless,
while mineral waters are injurious Many
persons whose bowels can no longer be
made to act by means of pills or other
drug laxatives respond readily to the sys-
tematic use of bran. either by itself or
combined with mineral oil.

ID ELADY-WHAT is SHE? AN
INTERESTING DEFINITION
Ie True Gentlewoman Distinguished by the

According to Ruth Shepard Phelps

ME interesting question, What Is a

~ Ruth Shepard Phelps in the North
american Review in confuting Mrs. Put

Writer agrees with Mrs. Putnam in so
EEAr that the lady is to be distinguished
from other women by the number of
$1klGgs she may not do. But she does not
sl[together agree with the latter's further
f1onception that these are the things
which society will not let her do, and

I'VE can best understand many things
~ looking first at what they are not;
ana the lady is not a martyr, nor an
'egoette.' nor curmudgeon. nor a cat.
She never makes scenes, and her feelings
are never hurt; she never sets you right,

willing, with a superhuman touch of un.
selnshness, not to appear so; she can give

be always doing what she likes. She Is
able and willing, in short, to do entirely

understood! Indeed. her virtues are for
the most part so difficult and uncongenial

can only wonder and admire on rejecting
how many women have succeeded in being
ladies at all.

Take 1t EASY

housekeeping as little apparent to the
members of her family as possible Per-
haps when carpets were tackled down at
the edges of the floor. when much uphol-
stored furniture was the rule and when
every available shelf table and chair back
was decked with tidy, it was impossible
to take housecleaning calmly. But now It
is surely as easy to houseclean one or two
rooms al a time as it is to turn the whole
house inside out, thereby lengthening the
cleaning process for each room for over a
couple of weeks.

Dear Madam am a girl of nineteen and

last three months. Would II be correct for ma
to wear white during the summer? FRANCES
All white, especially for one of your age
is correct but you should be careful to make
il pure white or all black, with white collar
and cuffs.
n white gown worn with a black and
white hat and black shoes would be half
mourning, whereas white gown. white
shoes, white hat trimmed with dull white
taffeta or white crepe is considered as deep
as all black and is suitable for q young per
son. 1t is very expensive. however. as il
must be perfectly correct Some persons
prefer for this reason to keep to black.
