PREDICT CURE OF
HAWAIIAN LEPERS
USE OF CHAULMOOGRA OIL
WILL PUT END TO COLONY
IN TEN YEARS TIME.

HONOLULU, T. H.-Sixty-hve
per cent of the chronic cases OF lepro-
sy in the Kalaupapa leper colony, IS
land of Molokai, will be cured within
the next two years by the use OF the
chaulmoogra oil specific prepared by
DIR. A. L. Dean, president of hte Uni
versity of Hawaii, and within ten
years the famous leper settlement will
be a thing of the past, according to
the expressed belief of DR.. w. J.
Goodhue, the settlements resident
physician.
Dr.. Goodhue and territorial health
board officials do not hesitate to say
that number of cases in the colony
never will recover, that the disease has
gone too far to be arrested by chaul
moogra oil and the care of these, it
is believed, will necessitate keeping the
colony running for another decade. In
the meantime, however, it is confident
ly expected, the majority OF cases at
Kalaupapa will be cured and d1scharg-
ed within twenty-four months.
Members OF the territorial leg1sla-
ture recently visited Molokai, thor
oughly inspected the colony and made
estimates of the Improvements to be
carried out there.
Although they may be cured a
number of the older inmates OF the set
tlement always will bear prominently
the marks of leprosy's ravages, and
for these, who have no interests else
where, President Charles Chilling
worth OF the territorial senate, has
suggested setting aside government
land on Molokai for farms.

600 banks in time of necessity can take
that credit and theoretically expand 1t
ten-fold through the provisions OF the
law requiring them to keep with the
federal reserve banks ST out OF every
$40 of demand deposits.
In actual practice the banks could
expand the $2,000,000,00O credit reserve
fund from six to seven times. The
most conservative of bankers would
admit that it could be expanded tilve
times. Taking the most conservative
basis as the proper one for computa-
ton the $2,000,000000 reserve OF cred,
il in the federal reserve banks could
thus be changed to a $4,000 ,OOO0OO
reserve in the member banks with
which the man needing money must
do business.
There is, of course, no need Tor
tapping measurably this vast credit
fund on which American business can
draw if need be. Nor would 1t be wise
to utilize it, or any portion OF 1t at this
time except for the soundest business
practice. Nor would it be possible, IN
the temper of most American bankers
TODAY. to obtain any portion OF 1t Tor
any enterprise that would not stand
the acid test. But the big point is that
it is there and that its length and
breadth, greater than the human i'm
agination can conceive, stand today
between legitimate American business
and failure.

Harvard Instructor Found
Making Booze in His
Private Boston Residence
Prominent Clubman Said "All Boys
Have Stills" When Federal Agents
Raided His House.

Moonshine in the making, with a
still operating full blast, was found in
a fashionable section of Boston when
prohibition enforcement officers enter
ed the home OF Louis Agassiz Shaw,
clubman socially prominent and an
assistant teacher in applied physiol-
ogy at the Harvard medical school.
Shaw was placed under arrest.
"Al1 the boys have stills, said
Shaw when he showed the officers his
plant"
Federal agents who made the arrest
quoted Shaw as saying that there were
Others in the district operating stills.
He also said that there was consider
BILE rivalry among them to see who
could turn out the most successful
product
The liquor was sampled at social
affairs, according to the agents. They
said that after they found the still in
room close to Shaw's ball room he
told them that he had had friends in
from time to time to test out his stuff
and that in turn he had tried out the
products of others in gatherings at
their homes.
The still the agents reported finding
in Shaw's home was described as one
of the finest that has yet come to light
in Boston or vicinity. 1t was capable
OF producing ten gallons OF high-prooi
whisky in one day. 1t was in opera
ton at the time they found it. Nearby
was a stock OF FIVE gallons OF its al

.PEONAGE CHARGES
MADE EACH DAY
IN ONE INSTANCE A WHITE
MAN CHARGES HE is HELD
IN STATE OF SLAVERY.

ATLANTA, Gait is pretty dull
day in official circles that another
peonage case is not dug up to the Ell
feet that people in some particular
section are flagrantly violating the
laws of their state and nation.
Usually the activities OF United
States Attorney Hooper Alexander
are directed toward safeguarding the
lives and limbs of innocent negroes,
cherubims OF the cotton patches who
meekly make pilgrimages to their mas
ter's farm house for their daily fog
ging and who spend all their lives in
fear OF instant death should they so
much as make a break for liberty.
However, this time Mr.. Alexander
cites an instance in the western part
of the state where a young white man
was bought for so and held in peon-
age until he worked out his purchase
price" Attempts of the young man to
escape were frustrated by the friends
and employees of the owners OF the
plantation.
"At any rate" declared Mr.. Alex
ander, this case is typical OF many
others in the state where people, both
white and black, are being mistreated
and held in peonage and slavery"
Mr.. Alexander was undecided as to
what course he will pursue in the mat
ter of the slavery of the white farm
ers of the state, but intimated that he
might pass the information on to the
of justice at Washington
for further Instructions, just as has
been done in dozens of other cases
where people have written stories OF
peonage.
Recently it has been a popular pas
time in reput lican circles in Wash
ington. and to some extent in daily
and in official circles in
Georgia, OF villify Georgia and Geor-
gians in connection with alleged in
fractions of peonage laws, but the lat
ter, under storms of protest and criti-
cism, have lately put on the soft pedal.
A resolution, couched in strong Ian
guage and Enthusiastically clear, was
passed at the annual state convention
Of the county commissioners at Dub
lin a few days ago, in which the 'un-
Just and widespread reports OF sys-
TENS of peonage in Georgia are to be
These reports were char
acterized as unfair and preiudicial to

Farmer Bids Against
Hound For a Mule
Silent Taper Boosts Price $45, But
Does Not Close Deal.

CENTRALIA, MOI. R. Brown,
a local auctioneer, is very careful when
crying a sale to be sure to get all the
bids that are made, relying either on
the word of mouth, or a nod or tap,
when he can not see a bidder At a
sale held here recently tapping was
the undoing of the careful sales cryer.
At this sale a mule was being offer
ed and was about to be sold to farm
er who had bluffed out all competitors
when he bid $3.50. Then Colonel Brown
got couple of taps on the leg and
announced that the increase of SIS had
been met. The farmer raised the bid
and the invisible Taper continued to
bid also, until the price was boosted
another $45 and the farmer gave up.
Then Colonel Brown looked. around
for the successful bidder, but no one
would admit making the bids. Two
taps again on Colonel Browns leg
revealed that they came from the tail
OF hound asleep at his feet.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR "A BAD COLD

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving q
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

ASHTON SCHOOL
TRUSTEES ELECTED
Two New School Districts Rep
resented on New Board
LENGTHEN SCHOOL TERM
Expect to Make Ashburn Best
Country School in Georgia

w. H. Robitzsch, Wiley McMil-
Ian and B. H. Dormillay Ssgre elected
trustees for the Ashton school at a
meeting Friday of the patrons from
the Ashton district and the two new
districts which will consolidate with
Ashton. Mr.. Robitzsch reg is
Ashton, Mr.. Mcmillan REP as
Horton and Mr.. Dormineys repre-
sents the Dorminey district.
The election was in charge of B.
F. Harding and Professor Lamb, of
Ashton. About fifty patrons of the
schools were present.
According to plans outlined at the
meeting, the school term at Ashton
will be extended from six months to
eight months. The faculty will be
expanded from four teachers to six
or seven. One of the seven will be
an expert from the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, the most of
whose salary will be paid by the fed
eral government under the Smith
Hughes act. The school will also get
an additional $1,000 from the state
because of the consolidation.
Patrons of the Ashton school ex-
pressed regret that Evergreen and
Eureka had not joined the conso1i-
dation movement. The two schools
will probably be consolidated with
each other ard the patrons may in
future take advantage of the oppor-
tunity of sending their children to
the Ashton school.
