Mo Food In Seventy Hours.

Not bite of food for 70 hours was
the terrible experience Of native
who was admitted to the Krugersdorp
hospital (South Africa. The man
had been severely burned about the
legs In q fire in an outlying village,
and with the other injured persons
had been placed on a passing freight
train to be taken to the nearest hos
pltal. The man pulled tnrpaulln
over himself, and so, when the others
were removed, he was overlooked. The
train arrived at Krugersdorp during
q Saturday evening, and the truck.
was shunted into the station yard.
The whole of Sunday and Monday the
native remained without food or wa
ter, under the tarpaulin, and he was
only discovered on Tuesday afternoon
when q checker went his rounds. Rail-
way men were on the point of placing
mealies on the truck when they no.
ticed a movement under the sail, and
the native, semiconscious and partial
" demented, was found unable to
move much. On close examination II
was found that his lower limbs were
In a terrible state, and he was re-
moved to the hospital.

Japanese Make Paper Clothes.

Underclothing pade of finely crisped
or grained paper is manufactured In
Japan. After the paper has been cut
to pattern the different parts are
sewn together and hemmed, and the
places where the buttonholes are to
be formed are strengthened with cal
leo or linen. The paper is very strong
and at the same time very flexible.
After garment has been worn a few
hours It will interfere with the perspir-
alton of the body no more than do gar
ments made of cotton fabric. The
paper is not sized, nor is it impermca-
BILE. After becoming wet the paper Is
difficult to tear. When an endeavor
is made to tear II by hand 1t presents
almost as much resistance as the thin
skin for making gloves.

Protection against possible freez-
Ing of wet materials In a cement
mixer during cold weather Is obtained
ut low cost by using an oll-burnlng
heater which can be attached to prac-
tlcally any mixing machine. Such a
device unquestlonably can save money
for a contractor by making 1t safe to
operate continuously when the temper
ature is low, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The heater is provided with
a 25-gallon tank which is mounted
above the mixer and is connected by
n pipe with a burner situated at the
opening in the side of the mixing drum.
compressed mir, obtained either from a
hand pump or compressor, is used to
vaporize the oil and in this way a
flame is forced into the interior of

TO AVOID CENSORS
Soldier Boys Use the Regulation
Blue Envelopes.
Must Sign Certificate on Outside That
- Contents Are Personal or Fam.
lily Matters Only.

The blue envelope has made a big
hit with Sammy. It Is the one feature
of the army's field censorship regula-
tions to which he gives kind word.
Not that the censorship inhibitions are
unreasonable or irksOme especially to
him, but because 1t is the soldiers
prOverblal and inalienable right to
"beef" against the censor, writes
correspondent with the American CX-
peditionary force in France.
The provision regulating the blue
envelopes reads as follows:
"In order that men may forward
personal or family letters without the
necessity of having them read by Of
ficers known to them personally, such
letters may be inclOsed in the author
lied blue envelope and sent directly
to the base censor through United
States army postal service"
Only authorized envelopes supplied
to organizations at the rate of one
per man per week may be used. More
than one letter, however, may be for
warded in the envelope, but all the
letters must be from the same soldier
who signs certificate on the outside
Of the envelope to the effect that the
letters inclosed relate TO personal or
family matters only and do not refer
to military subjects.
'It's great stunt" said one dough
boy. "You see If me and the mlssus
want to have little tiff on paper
don't want the captain to be KNOWN
all about It. What do l care If some
fellow miles away, whom I'll never
see in my life, reads it. guess 1t will
seem like a little bit Of home sweet
home to himp
Or, as another put IT.:
N"YOu know any time fellow writes
his girl, of course he has to gush a
little. Maybe spring a little poetry
and sometimes, by gosh, you mean it.
Believe me, you get mighty lonesome
over here hearing lot Of chattering
you don't know nothin' about. And
when her picture is lookin' down at
you from the wall and the moon is
helpin' out the candle TO light the
room and you get thlnkin' of the night
you said good-by, it's powerful helpiD'
to sit down and write her all about It,"
The blue envelope is development
of this war. 1t is new in our service.
The French and English, though, have
been using it for quite while, and as
we have adopted In many respects the
censorship regulations Of the English
army the lady in blue, as the envelope
has come to be called, came with them.
Today she is the one popular member
Of her family.

EFFECTS OF NOTED BATTLES OHIO g. KENTUCKY RAlLN
Probable Results II Outcome Had Been
Different, Explained in Book by
English Writer Years Ago.

About 60 years ago an English
writer, Sir Edward Greasy, published
book which he called "The Fifteen De-
cisive Battles of the World" His pur-
pose was to describe those great mill
tary events which have had the great
est influence upon human history.
Each battle described, had 1t re-
suited differently, would have COM
pletely changed the course of civilian
ton, says the Worlds Work. Had
Charles Martel not have won the bat
tie Of Tours, for example, the whole Of
Europe, and that means also North
and South America, would very likely
have become Mohammedan in religion.
"Perhaps the Interpretation Of the
Koran" says Gibbon, describing the
coqsequences of this battle, "wOuld
SDw. be taught in the schools of Ok
ford and her pupils might demonstrate
to the English people the truth of the
revelation Of Mohamet."
Ten Of Creasy's epochal battles have
been fought since the beginning of the
Christian era. -Four Of them represent
victories which were won on French
soil-the battle of Chalons A. d. 451
the battle of Tours, 1872; Joan of Arcs
victory at Orleans, 1929, and the battle
of Valmy, in 1892. Another was
great French victory won on English
soil-the battle Of Hastings in 1866.
Two Others-the battle of Blenheim,
in 1904, and the battle of Waterloo in
1S15--were great French defeats. 1t
appears, therefore, that of the ten
most decisive battles fought in the
Christian era five were great French
victories and two were French defeats.
No other nation has any such military
history as this. This mere record in
dicates the part which France has
played in advancing civilization. So
far as Europe is concerned the great
est events in modern history have
taken place on French soil. At this
time, when the democratic nations
have Joined hands to deliver France
from the cowardly attack which Ger
many has made upon her, 1t is well to
keep this fact In mind.

road building, or will they play
politics and try to keep the roads
up under the old system. :
The idea should be from the
first that good roads cost money.
When that realization is felt by
the people and the officials, we
will have good roads. Let the
thought sink in: Good roads
cost much money-but they are
worth much more than they cost.
u ~
One pertinent question is: Has
the newly elected officials formu-
lated any definite plans for the
beginning of the good road cam
paign? Or will the four years be
spent in getting ready to get
ready? To obtain State aid the
inter-county plan must be follow
ed. But what will be the plan of
beginning? The only sensible
plan would be to select a section
of road and appropriate as much
money as can be made available,
secure State aid, and BUILD THE
ROAD. Aud in the meantime,
start the campaign for bond is
sue to build more roads. The
best thing that this genel alton
can do for the next generation is
to bond the county to the limit
and build permanent roads. To
fail to do so is to rob them of the
opportunity that should be theirs,
to force upon them surroundings
half a century behind that of the
adjoining communities. We have
no right to make conditions for
the next generation that will
make life intolerable for them.
Economic conditions are chang
ing so rapidly that the communi-
ty without good roads ten years
hence will be an isolated commu-
nifty, and its citizens powerless
to meet the competition of COM
munities that have good roads.
Put away the hope that we will
return to before-the-war condi-
.ditions. We will not. The fin
ish of the war will mark the be-
ginning of a new era for the
world. Everything will be diff
ferent. Even the thought and
customs of the people will have
changed. Old methods will be
discarded, and in the fight for
commercial supremacy only those
equipped with the most modern
means of production and distri-
button can hope to succeed.
Good roads and improved farm
machinery will be the only key
to the farmers door of success.
Without good roads the farmer
will be cut off from the best mar
cts and the things he buys will
beJan added burden of cost.
- -
There will be those who will
oppose the building of good roads
because of the additional taxes,
and there has never been discov-
cred a way to convince them OF
their error before the roads are
built. After good roads are con-
structed in spite of their opposi-
ton, and when the are prosper.
ing they sometimes become con-
verted, but not always.
Good roads and all other i'm
provements must be made over
heir protest, and that is not al
ways easy, for the threat to vote
'agin" some officers has its eff
feet in many instances. 1t is to
be hoped that the new county
administration will have the cour-
age and the will to do some real
road construction and will bepin

the nation would have to borrow
more money than was available
lin the great money centers, that
the men of small means would be
expected to loan to the govern
ment, He also realized that the
people, as a rule, were not famil-

the country press must educate
the small investor, the farmer

PRICE ADVANTAGE

Honolulu consumers Of refined sugar
are getting the advantage of the Pa
cific coast prices on purchases at re-
tail, whereas consumers in the middle
Western cities are paying a retail
price based on the $500 per hundred
price for raw sugar in New York City.
This is indicated by report from a
Denver paper which states the perm.
anent war price Of beet sugar will be
SS.05 hundred pounds, and of cane
sugar SS45 a hundred"
The present Honolulu retail price OF
granulated sugar. according to Henry
May & Co., is $7.75.
The Denver report also shows that
the hope to eliminate the margin be-
tween beet sugar and cane sugar has
not, yet been effected. This is explain
ed by the Denver paper as follows;
although the government has indi
Gated that cane and beet sugar shall be
sold at the same price, jobbers de-
clare that compliance with this re-
quest is impossible until conditions
adjust themselves. The advent Of the
new Cuba sugar supply in December
will admit the sale Of cane at the
same price as that OF beet, it is stated.
Denver retailers of the larger
downtown stores say the government
orders on sugar prices will admit OF
variance in the price Of beet sugar
from that of cane until importations
of cane permit uniformity"

ASKS
MEDICOS HELP
!. WIPE out VICE
fAssociated Press bY o. s. Naval Wireless.l

ASSOCIATED Press By q. s. Naval wirsless.)
CHICAGO, Ill, Oct. 23.-Direct ap'
peal was made by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels to the medical profes'
sion of the country to aid in bringing
about purer and cleaner lives for
the men of the nation. This appeal he
made before the clinical congress OF
the Surgeons Of North America. He
blamed the medical profession in part
for not having taken stand which
would long since have helped the
cause of decency and health.
What the country is doing to re-
move immoral conditions and tempta
tons from the vicinity of the new
camps, Secretary Daniels had told
earlier in his address. The Difficult
ties that had been encountered in Sc
curing clearing out of vice in some
cities and towns he had told and he
had shown how it had been proved to
be possible in such communities to
have decency when public officials
recognized that the advantage of hav-
ing such a camp would be lost to the
community otherwise.
The especial appeal which Daniels
made to the surgeons was for the
medical profession to come out at
once and strongly and END this false
double standard which more than
anything else excuses viciousness
among our youths and young men,"
There is no army in the world
Daniels continued, which has not had
its effectiveness reduced by the dis
eases which result from the immoral
ity that this false double standard in
duces.
'The men of our navy lost 141,37S
days last year, through such prevent
able diseases from immortality. Think
of it, that number of days reduced 20
years means the loss of service for
one man for 800 years.
in 1915 in our navy 112 men out
of each 1000 in the service were ad-
mitted to treatment for some disease
that had resulted from sexual i'm
purity.
''In the British army that same year
there were admitted $4,000 cases of
diseases of that type
The speaker then put it squarely be-
fore the medical profession on it's duty
to humanity and it's duty to its coun-

in the cities of the land. especially the
seaports, and to discourage on all pos.
sible occasions immoral conduct in
