Celebration Too Soon.

Although scheduled for performance
every nine years, Manua Loa took the
volcanologists by surprise and gave her
celebration several years too soon.
Heralded by earthquakes and accom-
panied by a series of tidal waves and
quakes, she has proceeded to give US
the most spectacular exhibition within
the memory of the oldest kamaainas
(old residents).
1.-THE first indication of volcanic ac-
tivity was the presence Of peculiar
cauliflower- shaped cloud hanging over
the mountain, Three days later, on
Sept. 30, the whole heavens were lit UP
with an apricot glow when, from a
huge vent in the mountains side, a
flood of molten lava was beched forth
stream, it came roaring down the noun
tain slope, burning forests, carrying
huge trees and immense boulders on
its surface-sweeping everything before
It. With a speed varying from one to
20 miles an hour, according to the
country 1t was passing over 1t broad
ened out until 1t was nearly mile
in width. After wiplng out the govern
ment belt road, razing telephone poles
and destroying a vast red-hot lava tum-
bled over high precipice and plunged
Kissing into the sea.
This outbreak was on the western
slope of Mauna Loa, occurring at the
6,500foot level, less than half way to
the top of the mountain, whose rounded
summit rises majestically 1855 feet
above the sea. This flow reached the
ocean on the Kona coast of Hawaii,
near Alika, the small village for which
it has been named. In its downward
course it followed the general direction
of the 1916 flow, but was much more
rapid in its progress, as 1t was only
some 26 hours from the time of the
outbreak until the first lava poured into
the ocean, In the case of the earlier
flow, a period of more than day oil
apparent inactivity interviewed between
the gas explosion which tore the great
hole in the mountain and the actua
appearance of the lava.

Comfortable, decent, and sanitary

a fiery Niagara, As the red hot lava

Miles up the mountain the lava
stream became blocked, forming great
lake which spread out on each side
seeking a new point of egress. Sud-
denly, as If a giant hand had tipped
the bowl the lake overlooked. The
whole heavens were lit up as the lava
like great cataract, plunged and boiled

Artists Wife Tells
of Using Scotch Liniment
For Relief of Pain

Many who have visited West Point,
Va, are familiar with the delightful
Barker Studio where they saw many
beautiful portraits and Virginia Views.
The managers wife, Mrs. b. Benton
Barker, knows about Mysterious Pain
Ease, the Scotch Liniment. We quote
from a letter from Mrs. Barker-she
wrote: 1--WE have been using IL for a
number of years. My sister, Miss NJ.
G. Lourie of Brooklyn, n. Y, and a
number of her friends have been using
it. ! have recommended it, and have
two or three families using it."
So il is the users who recommend
Mysterious Pain Ease to one another.
Pain is usually from Inflammation.
Mysterious Pain Ease relieves inham-
nation and that is why il gives the de-
sired relief in so many different trou-
bles where pain is present, like pain
from neuralgia. lumbago, stiff neck,
muscular colds where the shoulders,
chest and back muscles are in pain,
pains arising from Inflammation, mus
Gle cramps, neuritis, rheumatism and
sprains of all kinds.
Mysterious Pain Ease is a liniment
formulated BY a Scotch doctor. He
used il in his practice and in fact be-
came famous on account of it. II did
take out pain so quickly that people
thought there was something mys-
ferrous about it and so the linimeht
was named by the grateful sufferers
who used il.
Mysterious Pain Ease is sold by all
leading druggists Any druggist can
get it from his jobber.-Ady.

SAVE YOUR w. S. S.
Efforts Being Made to Protect People
From Sharks.

| F. c. Ayres, director of the savings
division, First Federal Reserve District,
warns people against the sharks who
are particularly active at this time
| trying to induce people to part with
their war savings stamps and other
government securities at unfair prices
Mr.. Ayres pointed out that during the
holiday shopping season when people
of small means particularly are anx-
ious to secure ready money, they may
make the mistake of selling their saw
ings stamps below the price, that the
government stands ready at all times
to pay through the postoifice, People
also may be induced to sell Liberty
bonds and Victory notes below even
the prices prevailing in the stock mar
ket.
Anyone who is forced to part with
their Liberty bonds, according to Mr..
Ayres, should be careful and go to
legitimate broker or to bank in order
to make sure that they lose nothing,
either on the market value of the bonds,
or on the accumulated interest. For
those who are unfamiliar with tigur-
ing interest on the bonds, there is
danger that a sharp bargain hunter
may cheat them.
Mr.. Ayres calls attention to the man.
ner in which the federal authorities in
San Francisco recently co-operated with
the government savings organization in
that city, and prosecuted people who
were purchasing war savings stamps in
violation of the law.
The specific charge made against
these persons was that of altering gov
eminent obligations. The law pro-
vides that only the owner of the
stamps shall redeem them, and there
are certain rules laid down, sustained
by decision of the U. S. supreme court,
which are supposed to safeguard the
purchaser from just such impositions
as have been practiced. The scheme
was to reap profit by purchasing the
stamps from the persons who had
bought them from the government, and
to pay from 10 to l5 per cent less
than they actually were worth. The
statute provides that purchaser shall
not buy more than $1,000 worth of
war savings stamps, and this law had
been violated by the concerns, which
it was charged, had in their posses
sion many thousands of dollars worth
of the stamps.
The San Francisco authorities also
are considering prosecutions against
the money sharks for transacting an
alleged illegitimate business through
the mails. The stamps are sold at S4.l2
in January, and go up one cent a
month, then are redeemable five years
from January ! of the year of each
issue. The stamps are attached to
certificates bearing the name of the
purchaser The dealers who have pur-
chased these certificates, it is alleged,
remove the stamps from the original
certificates and affix them to new GER
tifcates made out in the names of
one of their employees or agents, so
that they could be redeemed at the
post office merely by buying one new
stamp.
An examination of the books OF the
San Franchise post Office is said to have
shown that various dealers cashed
more than 100000 worth of war saw
ings stamps during the past few
months. 1t also was claimed that some
of the dealers handled stamps obtained
from house breakers.
