SCOUT HANDBOOK BIG SELLER.

our country's most popular Juvenile
book is not, MS might be supposed,
Robinson Crusoc" or Treasure Is
land but the Handbook for Boys,
published by the Boy Scouts of Amer
len. Within the last two years there
have been published more than 100000
copies of this book. and it is a good
guess that more copies have been sold
than have been sold of both "Trcasure
island and Robinson Crusoe" togcth-
er during the same period. Indeed. 10 is
not too much To say that if the figures
were available 10 make such a COM
parison possible, Il would DE shown
that there have been published in the
last two Years more copies of the
Handbook for BOYS" than all the
standard stories for boys published
during the same period.

Mills
MAY RUN Until
LICENSES COME
Application Forms Have Beer
Mailed From Washington,
JUDGE BaIIou Cables

Hawaii sugar mills are to be al.
lowed to operate until application
blanks for food administration II.
censes for the manufacture Of sugar
are received, filled out and returned
to Washington, but all Of them max.
ing sugar or molasses will be required
to secure the licenses. -. r
Such In effect is the context of q
message received yesterday afternoon
from Judge Sydney Ballou. Washing
ton representative Of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters. The cable was in re.
Spouse to one sent to the planters
representative by w. o. Smith, secre
tary of planters association on the
day previous.
There was delay in delivery Of the
message from Judge Ballou, due to
some defect in the signature, and the
stringent rules Of the cable csompany
In war times. The original message
has not yet been delivered, but is
contents were learned this morning.
The message read as follows:
License application forms have
been mailed with permission to oper.
ate after October l until licenses can
be issued"
Receipt Of this message sets at
rest all surmises as to whether or not
the island plantation mills would have
to secure licenses to continue the max.
ing Of raw sugar. When news of the
censes under the food control act was
received here last Saturday, some Of
the local sugar men thought the or.
der would apply only to refined sugar.
II is probable that details as to the
method OF government will use in
keeping check on sugar manufacture
and sugar imports will accompany the
license application blanks, now on the
way here from Washington.

SEATTLE urged
TO INVESTIGATE
SHIPPING DATA
Honolulu Chamber Cordially
Invites Delegation to Pay
Oahu a Visit

Honolulu has not yet given up its
attempt to secure q steamship line be
tween the Hawaiian Islands and Seat
tie, at least 80 Tar as the local Cham
Der of Commerce is concerned. Ray
mond C. Brown, secretary, is writing
to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
asking them when they intend to send
down q delegation of Northwestern
businessmen to look over the situation
here with q view to learning whether
the field is large enough for competi:
ton with the San Francisco shipping
interests. " -. 1884,.
Recently the local Chamber Of Com
merce received letter from the Seat.
tie chamber, asking the possibilities
for the establishment of steamship
line between the two ports, and saying
that delegation Of businessmen
would come to Honolulu In the fall
to investigate. The chamber replied
that to all appearances the field was
taken up by the San Francisco steam
ship lines, and that while there could
be big cargoes from Seattle to this
port there did not seem to be return
freight Of any proportion. And now
Secretary Raymond C. Brown is writ.
ing to the Seattle Chamber Of Com.
mers telling them that the balmy.
climate Of the islands would do them q
world Of good and that their delega-
ton may as well come down and look
over the situation for themselves. The
letter also tells the Seattle businessmen
that the local chamber, would like to
know when they are coming 80 as to
prepare data for them and give them
the usual Hawaiian reception.
It was pointed out to the Seattle
interests that they could enter the
field II they wished and struggle along
for few years until such time as the
contracts made by the pineapple inter
ests and the sugar interests expired
with the shipping concerns and then
the Seattle interests could make an
attempt to secure . part Of the freight. |
Cut It is hardly likely that the Seattle
interests would consider this plan.
As to freight shipments from Seat. |
lie to Honolulu the ships could come
with full cargoes for the bulk Of the
wheat and flour used here Is imported
rom the Northwest. This could be
shipped much cheaper from Seattle
han from San Francisco through
elimination of railroad freight rates
rom the Northwest to the Golden
late city. L.

The Social Side
Of Hygiene

Society as rule is generally careful about
the state Of their health, and they are apt to
make good use Of remedies known as disease
preventives. Germicides and antisepfics are in
cluded in this class, but the greatest care
should be exercised In using any which con-
tains poisons, unless prescribed by physician.
By reason Of its absolute safety and It's
beneficial results, physicians have strongly rec
commended Tyree's Antiseptic Powder. This
preparation appears 70 occupy Q unique posi-
ton as toilet and hygienic antiseptic and ID
