CANDY MAKERS MAY BE
FORCED TO SAVE SUGAR

While the territorial food commits.
sion has not yet taken action to Sc
cure saving OF sugar by reducing
the manufacture of candy and other
CONNECTIONS in Honolulu. there is a
possibility that an investigation into
the feasibility of such move may be
made soon, says J. F. Child, assistant
executive officer and federal food adj.
mini3trator for Hawaii
According to figures secured by Mr..
Child, candy and other CONNECTIONS
valued at $4,000 were imported into
the territory during the year ending
December so, 1917, while similar goods
valued at S232, 900 were imported dur.
ing the year ending June 80. 1917
Mr.. Child says that candy valued Mt

THOUSANDS or woArEy are asking
what to do to acquire beauty. And
few seem to consider another thing
as important-what not to do. Do
you want to be beautiful? Then
read, and heed, these "don'ts": IT,,
Don't undersleep.
For an overfull stomach means an
oyerworked digestion. And an over
worked digestion means that the
pores of the skin must help throw on
the poison matter accommodating in
the body, which in turn means
pimples and blotches.
Don't undersleep
Most people need eight full hours
Of sleep, @nemic or nervous women
should have nine. Dull eyes and a
dull skin are often due to lack OF
sleep. ....> 49,.
Don't be afraid Of exercising.
I The body is a huge and compli-
Gated machine, and the blood acts
somewhat like lubricant. Exercise
sends the blood running actively
through the veins, stirring up liver
and stomach, yitalizing the entire
system. = ~
Don't run to the drug store for a
cure for every ailment.
This applies to everything. from
cold cream for muddy skin to head
ache powders and dyspepsia cures. A
two-mile tramp every day will cure
any or all of the aforementioned
ailments more certainly than all the
bottled remedies.
Don't neglect yourself in any way.
And by this mean that you should
examine your face carefully, es-
pecially your eyes, to Judge. the con.
dition Of your health. II the whites
of your eyes are yellowish, instead Of
a blue white, II your skin Is sallow, If
you look wilted instead Of Vivacious

RED CROSS THEATRICAL
DAY Is POSTPONED

A. L. Castle received by this morn.
ing's mail a letter from the American
Red Cross stating that Red Cross
Theatrical Day, which was to have
been observed throughout the country
on October &c, had been postponed to
December I. The postponement was
made by Henry P. Davidson, chair
man of the Red Cross War Council,
and A. L. Erlanger, national chairman
for Theater Day, so that attention
might not be diverted from the
Liberty Loan. .. !.
Many theaters will devote the en-,
tire receipts for the day, and many
actors Nlll contribute their entire,
salaries for the day, to the Red Cross
War Relief Fund. A number of theat-
ers are planning special performances.
and the additional time will doubtless
mean that many more will make like
plans. AS the letter had just been
received, Mr.. Castle had not had time
to confer with local theater managers,
but he feels sure, that they viii enter
heartily into the plans. ..

NEW eLoUsEs.

The new blouses for wear with
separate skirts are sure to meet with
instant approval. as designers Of pop.
nlar priced waists have declared them
selves in favor of better lines and ma
ferials, and fewer frills and laces. II
truly seems that every line of ready
to.wear merchandise that Is being OF
fered the public has an added air OF
service; the wish to serve has given
even frivolous Fashion something TO
think over, and She has emphasized a
sort of dignity in girlish frocks as
well as in the offerings made to ma
ture matrons.
In the wash blouses, no material re-
quiring starch seems to be as adapt
able for fine tucking, as organdie.
This tucking is combined very effect
lively in some OF the smart French
blouses when figured wolfe is used.
AS these figures are embroidered in
coIors, the, organdie is inserted In
long rows relieving patterns OF their
monotcny.
Bits of rich lace adorn some OF the
dressy chiffon waists. Some OF the
more modish effects follow the gen.
eral lines of the Balkan blouse. The
model of flesh colored georgette on
the left is an admirable example OF
this mode, and while IL possesses an
individuality all its own, at the same
time 1t suggests ever so family the
smocks that were so popular a sea-
son or SO ago. The buttons down the
back give an immature air TO this gar
ment that is delightful.
With the latest fashion books open
before us we realize with sigh OF
regret that the sport suit has gone.
Its departure was so quietly brought
about, that we have scarcely realized
Il. We can not fail to feel peeved at
tickle Fashion, as these little suits
were so useful as we'll as modish, one
began TO feel they were here to stay.
The peplums have heightened into
real tunics, and the waists and skirts
are in one. ]"
Our good humor will surely come
to the surface again, as We are being
offered a garment that will surely
compensate the loss for the Sport

and half sweater will go far toward

Justice to Farmers.


The recent grain conference in Kan

farmers, as o whole, are not disposed

upon justice; and justice being ac-
corded them, they will cooperate
Fundamentally and periodically in
solving the tremendous food problems
confronting the country and world at
this time.
Mr.. Hoover declares that the farm
,rs were paid for their wheat on a
sI.50 basis during large part of the
present year, but that the consumer
raid for his -four on basis of more
than $3.50 per bushel for wheat. The
estimate made by Mr. Hoover con.
firms the opinion which most well in
'ormed persons have entertained
hat the "middlemen," and especially
the food spectators. have been the
bcneilciaries Of the abnoraml condi.
lions prevailing, and not the farmers
