Mrs. D. C. Wedding, of lliu'.fonl, Ky.,
writes ns folIowH concerning the c I i'ill
cultios which afflicted her:
" I wits seriously ill nutl was confined

too full, my kidneys did not act
.freely, my liver was inactive, my beiirt
IbeKt wwi very weuk und I hud dizziness
or swimming in my head and iiervoiii
troubles.
"hvns under tho treatment of several
different physicians but I hoy all failed
to do mo any good, After milTering for
two yours L learned from an Arkansas
Ifrinnd about tho merits of Dr. Williams'
il'ink Pills and I decided thut J would
'try tlioiu. Tho very first box L took
'made mo feel better and when I had
taken four boxes more I wu.s entirely well,
'weighed fifteen )M)iinds nioto than when
' I began, resumed my household duties,
nnd havo since ooutluuud in Ihnbcst.of
health. I huvo reooniinoinled Dr. Wil
linms' Pink Pills to many people on no
oountof what they did forme, and I feel
that I cannot praise thorn too strongly."

CLOTH MADE FROM BARK.
I'l-mliiet of mi Afrloaii Tree i;illi.ei
for Tills I'lii-piisr.
(rent possibilities are said to lie In
(be use of a new tree bark for cloth, a
long report on which is made to the
Department of Commerce and Labor by
Consul (i. K. Kagcr, who reports that
'be (ionium government Is greatly Inter
vsted In the use of the new bark cloth,
ays the Washington Star. He says
Unit the tree Ironi which the cloth is
mad" grows In exhaustlcss quantities
In cast and central Africa. Samples of
the cloth have boon sent to the Depart
moid of Commerce and Labor, both
bleached and unbleached specimens,
which are kept for exhibition to poi
sons interested. The report says, in
part :
"The bark Is pooled from the tree and
pounded by the natives Into a cloth in
pieces of from - to UW, yards In width
and l to u yards in length. Tho tree
Is of tho genus llscus and grows. It Is
nhl, In inexhaustible quantities all
aver central and east Africa. The most
uioresimg icaiure ol ino naru seems
to be the good spinning possibilities of
Its liber. Although the staple is rather
short, there Is no reason why It should
not spin and make an admirable mix
ture with wool for felting or other pur
poses. I he crude bark can be treated
so as to yield the liber readily without
Injury.
As the tree In question can he easily
propagated and Is not killed by strip
plug off Die hark, but permits this proc
ess for fifty or more successive years, it
Is readily seen that this hark product
will become a commodity of consider

bo used extensively hero in (Jermany
by iiKiny different manufacturers yu ac
count of Its novelty ami of the cheap

for the masse.
"Head coverings for men an.l women
of all shapes and kinds made from this
cloth are much lighter than straw or
other material anil of much greater
porosity. The cloth can be trimmed like
silk, mtiHtii or velvet: can be dyed In
any tolor. and would answer for uni
form caps or helmets for summer wear,
as II can easily be waterproofed. It Is
blocked Into any form and stays In
simp', and when cemented two thick
lies" crosswise It makes a cloth of
great strength. In Ibis form It Is very
suitable for mattings for summer cot
tn gen and could he printed or stamped
in ail styles. It would also be an ex
cellent and cheap substitute for burlun
for walls.
"I find thai similar trees yielding a
bark used by the natives for cloth
grows almost everywhere south of the
equator, In South America. Fast India.

possessions, the Philippines. 1 think It
of Importance to call attention of out

AGRICULTURE IN HAWAII.
Soil ntiil Cllliiule Ailuitleil In tlio
Cult ImiIIoii of Tohiieeo.
Tobacco growing and other agricul
tural pursuits In Hawaii are treated
of In a report that has Just been Issued
by the department of agriculture, says
the Washington Star. The report goes
Into great detail as to the growing of
tobacco and the preparation of the soil
and the curing of the crop. The re
sults of a number of experimental
plants are given and the conclusion
drawn Is that tho soli of Hawaii and
the climate and rainfall are all adapt
ed to the cultivation of a high grade
of tobacco on a paying basis. It Is said
that there are 100,000 acres of land
adapted to tobacco growing In Hawaii,
with considerable tracts In the adja
cent Islands. The cost of producing to
bacco Is put as low as from - to 'J'j
cents a pound for the green leaf. It
Is said, however, that the Holds have
to be poisoned before planting, owing
to the prevalence of tho cutworm, Japa
nese beetle and other insects. Direc
tions are given in detail for doing
this and the process Is said not to bo
expensive.
Considerable attention was given by
the experiment station to the growth ot
rubber. It Is thought that owing to
the subtropical character of tlio climate
probably only two varieties of rubber
will thrive, the Assam and the (Vara
trees. P.oth of these are doing well
and one company on the Island put In
KKi.ODO seed trees last year and expects
to have hall a million growing lu two
years.
The bee-keeping Industry lu the Ha
waiian Islands represents an Invest
ment of approximately $1, "0,000. With
the exception of a few Japanese who
are engaged lu the work individually
on. a small scale and certain others who
produce comb honey for local con
sumption, the Industry is in the hands
of three corporations, one of which
equals In production the combined prod
uct of the other two. It Is apparent
that with the completion of the plans
of expansion now under way by these
corporations the next year or so will
see the various lioney-producing locali
ties of the Islands well covered and
the limit of pmluctlon attained.
