and Sugar

IMPORTATION of coffee into Hawaii amounts
i to only trihing amount, six hupdred
dollars worth month, while coffee exports,
during the fiscal year ending June 80 last, amount
ed to quarter of a million This year the exports
have declined. The benefit from an embargo will
come to the producer here only through raising
the price of the kOna coffee locally consumed and
for the benefit of home industry could do this
probably without feeling 1t to any great extent.
3. 1t is doubtful however, # we could consume the
amount produced, in addition to what has here
tofore been consumed there have been exported
from two to three million pounds year.
Hawaii imports, according to the 1917 stats
ties, more than thousand tons OF sugar and con-
fectionery a year. of value OF approximately
S325 900. Much Of the greater part OF this Is con-
fectionery, OF which these Islands import $13l 900
"a year or did in the last fiscal year. Hawaii is
able locally to manufacture every grade OF candy
and should manufacture all we consume Ill our
own shops from own sugar This quarter OF
a million dollars saved for local circulation would
help. If we had the last quarter or million sent
to mainland candy manufacturers, mainly for tin

SUMMER HYGIENE.
(By A. Nj. H.

If the housekeeper wants to keep
 her family in good health during the
 summer months she must look we'll to
 all corners of the pantry, cellar and
 refrigerator. It has been wisely said
 that some people talk about the dis
 pensation of Providence when affect
 ed with levers or diptheria; but a look about their back doors would in- dicate possibility of more humble
 causes. Slops have been thrown on the ground near the house in one place until the ground has become sour and blistered and this is a con tinual menace to the health of the family, If there is no drain to carry away the slops. carry them as far away from the house as possible and use good disinfectants around the house. If about four quarts of boil ing water are poured over five cents worth of copperas and the solution scattered over the ground that needs disinfecting, it will purify and de- stroy bad odors and there is nothing better than lime to use in damp, mol dy places. To keep the refrigerator in a sanitary condition it should be wiped out every day and have thoro weekly cleaning and the same may be said of the wafer cooler and the bread and cake boxes. All of these may be kept pure and clean and safe to use by washing out once a week with hot water in which a spoonful of borax is dissolved, as this is a fine cleansing, purifying and disinfecting agent Wipe dry as possible after washing and rinsing and leave open to cool, air and dry out. The pantry floors and shelves and china closets should be scalded and freshened at least week
 y with strong, hot borax water, and when perfectly clean and dry. sprinkle little powdered borax on the shelves and around the edges of the floor to keep out reaches and the large black ants. Use hot horax studs fer cleans ing out the bath room and pour plen- ty of hot suds down the drain pipe, then sprinkle the dry powder on the floor around the pipes and dark corn CTS under sinks and around wash basins 10 destroy unpleasant odors. If your cellars, bath rooms and kitchen sinks were disinfected oftener and kept purer there would be less sick ness and fewer doctors bills to pay
