HONOLULU, T.

Statistics com piled show decrease in production ir the last year of more than one thous- and quarts a day in the Honolulu dis trict.
 Condemnation and killing of many COWS because of tuberculosis has been a large factor in the decreased produc- tion and may dairymcn have been turning to the raising of beef catt:c a. more profitable than dairying. Costs of fccdsturfs are high in Hon oluIu because of transportation charges.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRs. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am
young married woman of 81 and aw-
fully unhappy 1 have two small chill
dren. My husband tells me he doesn't
love me and that he loves a girl he
was engaged to before we were mar
ried.
If leave him could he be made to
keep the children? His mother is al
ways telling him things that aren't
true and he believes them and gives
her money when 1 need it worse than
she does. Does he do right?
Please give me advice as 1 am very
unhappy and can't stand it any longer.
DISCOURAGED WIFE.
Your husband can be made to sup
port the children, and there is a
chance that you yourself can collect
a1imony. 1t would be we'll to talk to a
lawyer and see what he can do to
straighten out your circumstances.
Unless the man is willing to do the
right thing, alimony is rather hard to
collect.
A gentleman never taunts his wife
with the statement that he no longer
loves her. Such a thing is ineXcus-
able. A man who cheats a girl by
| making her his wife without love,
should repay in every other way pos
S1Dle-NllH respect, CCllSluSIdliO anu
money. OF course your husband
should not give his mother money
when she does not need it and you do.
Dear Mrs. Thompson. % I am
seventeen years old and am very much
troubled. L love one boy very much.
Others want to take me places. but
refuse. What do you think about it ?
CD The boy that 1 am in love with
| comes to my home two or three times
a week. Is that too often for him to
come?
CD When he leaves he wants to
kiss me. but l do not let him. Would
it be all right to let him kiss me?
| (4) Is it all right to send him let
! tiers and gifts sometimes?
TROUBLED EYES.
% I think d girl of your aga
should not limit herself to one boy
: friend. Her nature needs the broad
ening influence of association with
| various friends.
| CD He should not come oftener
| than twice a week.
| go Do not let[him kiss you. Wait
until you are older and more sure OF
your affections before you permit a
man to kiss you.

Werld's Highest Psid Woman Winter.
The Vice of Self Pity.

In reality, malice could do a child
no greater harm than to teach it to
be sorry for itself and to cry over its
hurts instead of taking hard knocks
with smile. For the vice of self pity
is just as deadly a thing to inoculate
in the young as is the morphine habit.
1t drugs courage. 1t deadens initia-
tive and Kills energy, and superin-
duces a lethargic state in which the
poor victim sits down and sheds
maudlin tears on his folded hands, and
succumbs to fate without striking a
blow.
Thus do the parents rear slackers
and cutters, for nobody will have
dealings with the poor creatures who
are always bemoaning their misfor-
tunes. wilmer is a foredoomed fail
who was always complaining about
having to work so hard. or plying
himself because he had to bear this
or that burden. Successful people are
invariably cheerful people; people
who have had the courage to take
and who have joyed in fighting
against every odd.
This is matter of common knowl-
edge, yet in spite of that you will see
mothers deliberately turn their chill
dren into cry babies, who haven't the
strength and spirit to contend against
the first obstacle they meet with, but
who give up the moment they encoun-
ter the real struggle OF life.
L have heard a mother lamenting
over her son, and telling him how
hard it was that he couldn't have a
racing car, and she couldn't send him
off to an expensive college. l have
seen a mother weep over her son
| when she woke him up to work in the
| morning. and sob over him when he
came home at night, and pity him be-
cause his boss expected him to do his
work properly. .1.t- -a vs..
| And the boy reacted to his mothers
| sympathy by becoming an anarchist
| in spirit. and hating everybody who
| was little better off than he was,
and by doing as little work as he
| could, and by leaving one job for an
| other, trying to find the mythical oc-
| cupation in which there is no work.
and good pay. And I have seen the
| boy end up by becoming loafer and
i a parasite on his mother who still
pitied him and said he had never had
| a chance in the world. And he didn't.
Entirely due to her teaching him the
| vice of self pity.
And / have seen another mother
| breed grit and determinati ton into her
| son as the weeping mother bred weak
| ness. She told her son what a splen-
| did thing it was for a boy to have a
| good job. She pointed out his oppor-
| tunity to him and told him to go to it.
She said to jaim: "Of course you have
to work hard, but you've got the man
hood to pay the price" And the boy
| will be a success.
| Don't pity your children. Give
| them a brace.
