Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups were the remedies in common use for Infants and Children; Castor Oil so nauseating as to be almost impossible and the others all containing Opium in one form or another, but so disguised as to make them pleasant to the taste, yet really to stupify tta child and give the appearance of relief from pain. It required years of research to find a purely vegetable combination that wonld take the place of these disagreeable, unpleasant and vicious remedies that from habit had become almost universal. Tins was the inception of, and the reason for, the introduction of Fletcher's Castoria, and for over 30 years it has proven its worth, received the -praise of Fhysicians everywhere and become a household word among mothers. A remedy ESPECIALLY prepared for Infants and Children and no would think of giving to her bab$ fc remedy that she would use for herself without consulting a physician. ilSTimdl I"--' V- r V & ;:n ILAUEA Is spoil ting lava, spooling as never before in. Its history since the Caucasian has known Its "House of Everlasting Fire.** This continuously active volcano in Hawaii National park is over* (lowing from the pit of Haler maumau. All of the trails In the old crater bottom have been destroyed. Five flows are running north, south and west and a mountain of lava, the largest IB the volcano's history, is spout' Ing high, surrounded by hundreds of other fountains. The lava lake rose eighty feet in eight hours. The main flow, 1,300 feet wide. Is running at the rata at forty miles an hour. , Police guards are holding hundreds of tourist* and automoblllsts at a considerable distance front the scene because of the danger of a greater oul-> burst And the spouting of Kllauea is one of the *Oi d|r scenes of the world. * "The Hawaiian volcanoes," writes T\ A. Jlfgar, Jr., director of the Hawaiian Volcano observatory, "are truly a national asset, wholly unique of their kind, the most famous In the world of science and the most continuously, variously, an-J harmlessly active volcanoes on earth. Kjlauea crater has been nearly continuously active, with a lake or lakes of molten lava, for a century. Mauna Loa Is the largest active volcano in the world, with eruptions about once a decade, and has poured out more lava during the last century than any other volcano on the globe. Haleakala If a mountain mass ten thousand feet high, with a tremendous crater rift in Its summit eight mile* in diameter and three thousand feet deep, containing many high lava cones. Haleakala is probably the largest of all known craters among volcanoes jkhat are technically known as active. It erupted leas than two hundred years ago. The crater at sunrise is the grandest volcanic spectacle ou aprth." s-. • K i l a u e a ' s L a v a L a k e . " ' ' 'tile lava lake at Kllauea is the meet ipsrtattt' lar feature of Hawaii National park. It draws visitors from all over the world. It is a lake of molten, fie^y lava a thousand feet long, splashing on its banks with a noise like waves of the sea, while great fountains boll through It fifty feet high. This exhibition of one of the most amazing revelations of nature--the terrlfllc and irresistible forces of the earth's Internal tires--is accessible Iky automobiles almost, to the very brink, and may be safely viewed. The trip from Hilo to Kilauea volcano is by automobile, a distance of thirty miles. From Hllo the road gradually ascends through sugar cane and pineapple plantations, to a high elevation and then plunges into a great forest of tree ferna, whose fronds are thirty feet overhead and provide a delightful; cariopy for many miles. Ac 4,000 feet elevation the tri$ ends at Volcano House on the rlrti of th» crater. ' Here are unobstructed views of towering snow-capped mountains and the great crated, Kilauea, an ehormous pit nearly eight miles in circumference and six hundred feel deeif enclosing an area of 2,650 acres. Filling the floor of this vast bowl Is it sea of solidified lava, twisted and contorted into every Imaginable shape, with jets of steam, vapor and sulphurous fumes rising from innumerable crevices and cracks. Almost at the center Is the active throat of the volcano itself, called by the natives, Halemaumau, "The House of Everlasting Fire." This was. In Hawaiian mythology, the home of.Pele., thf god- 4 s s s o f f i r e . \ ' ' V.. ' Ofeateet Matoral This throat or inner pit Is a mile in clrcusife «wnce and contains at all times a raging sea Of molten lava, its white-hot waves lashing and gnawing at the imprisoning walls, and its vast fountains of .incandescent rock eternally flinging their flery spray in air; seething and roaring in awftol grandeur. The molten sea rises and falls periodically, at times even overflowing the rim of the , pit and spreading out over the floor of the main crater, while red-hot crags and massive Islands rise from Its depths to either collapse In tumultuous aval»nches or subside gently beneath the surface of the lava. The pit is fascinating by daylight, but at night the scene is enthralling. And It iray be witnessed In perfect safety. The national park system of the United Statue contains several absolute unique natural wondeiK, such as the Grand Canyon, Crater Lake and the sequoias of Yosemite, Sequoia and General Grant parks. Nevertheless, there are discriminating nature-lovers who have seen the world and declare that Kilauea's Halemauman is greatest of natural wonders. E. M. Newman, the traveler and lecturer, says: "The flres of a visible Inferno burning In ther mtdfjt of on earthly paradise is a striking contrast^ afforded only in the Hawaiian National park. It Is a combination of all that is terrifying and all that is beautiful, a blending of the awful with themagnificent. Lava-flows of centuries are piled high about a living volcano, which is set like ' a ruby In an emerald bower of tropical grandeur. Picture a perfect May day, when glorious sun- , shine and smiling nature combine to make the heart glad; then multiply that day by three hundred and sixty-five and the result Is the climate of Hawaii. Add to this the sweet odors, the luscious fruits, the luxuriant verdure, the flowers and colorful beauty of the tropics, and the Hawaii National park becomes a dreamland that lingers in one's memory as long as memory aurvlvea." "Infernal and Thrilling.1* Miss Edna L. Smith of Aurora, I1L, a globe trotter with the gifts of appreciation end description says of Halemaumau: "As a spectacle it is the most Infernal and brilliant thing I have ever seen and as a natural phenomenon it is the most thrilling sight I evehope to see. Worlds In the making best describes what is going on there. Miniature molten mountains are turned out of the white-hot furnace to cool and you see how ail sorts of stratification? are made. Then in turn miniature hardened mountains are swallowed by the burning lava lakes. And nil the time the most tremendous roaring and hissing go oo as the fiery lava is spoute<» high up In the air. It soirtids as if some angry dragon were In the heart of the great crater spewing up flames and brimstone In a rage." Stephen T. Mather, director of the national park service, says of Kllauea. among othea things: "I want to record my feeling that this is the most wonderful feature of the national park sys- ' tem, surpassing the geysers of the Yellowstone, the waterfalls of the Yosemlte, and even the big trees of Sequoia park. It is the most awe-inspiring thing that I have ever observed, and I have no hesitation In predicting that when once the people of the United States realise what a remarkable thing this volcano Is It will become the objective of thousands of visitors." Kllauea does not by any means confine its activities to Halemaumau. Last year, out on tht. Kau desert, about six miles from the fiery pit in Kllauea crater, molten lava burst forth from a subterranean tube leading through a crack beginning at the wall of the main volcano. This flow of lava was called the Kau flow of 1920. and is still at work building up a new mountain. Hie flow really began In December, 1919. It lius now built up a-great mound almost 200 feet In height. This mound has been designated Mauna Iki (little mountain). The Kau flow was easy of access, and hundreds of visitors saw Its live stream of lava cascading over older flows. It was possible to approach to within a few feet of the kum «»4. , poke at it with a green stick. . Footprints 130 Years OML It is in this Kau desert that Professor Jagger has Just made an amazing discovery--the footprints In the hardened volcanic ash of an Hawaiian army flying 130 years ago from the wrath of Pele, the goddess who dwells In Halemaumau. King Keoua of Kau, as recorded history says, led an army of three divisions against King Kamehnraeha, who later united all the Hawaiian islands under his sway, in the year 1790. This year also recorded the last explosive eruption of Kllauea volcuno. J Hawaiian legend records the fact that some of Keoua's warriors rolled stones into Kllauea crater to mark their disrespect for the goddess of th» molten lake. Pele rose In her wrath, and, with a terrific explosive eruption, totally wiped OUT the second division of Keoua's army. The footprints found in the Kau desert are believed to be those of men of the first division, who, seeing tb* /destruction of their Comrades In the rear. led from the locality. The tracks will be enclosed and preserved. Kileauea Is the center gf a district unexcelled In volcanic marvels. There are many great craters Within easy walking distance; Interesting lava tubes or tunnels, wonderful forests of ancient Koa trees and tree ferns, banks of live sulphur, WtA tNtttomless flsfures and earthquake cracks. > . ' v . .. by > ' -• Hawaii National Park. "Hawaii National park was established by act • ,<>4 congress approved August 1, 1916 (39 Stat* 482). The park at the present time is composed . of three noncontiguous areas, two on the island of Hawaii, the largest Island of the group composing the territory of Hawaii, and one of the Island of Maui. Briefly, the park lands may be ^escribed as follows: 'The Kllauea section, which embraces the crater el Kllauea and much of the surrounding region. && area Is 35,865 acres. fThe Mauna Loa section, which Includes the «fcater of Mokuaweoweo, the summit creater of tike great mountain Mauna Loa, with some adjacent lands. The total area Is 17,020 acres. 'The Haleakala section, which Is on the island Df Maul, and includes the crater of the extinct toMcano Haleakala. Its total area is 21,150 acres. A tract that will contain 860 acres, and will connect the Mauna Loa and Kllauea sections of the park. Mauna Loa Is Intermittently active ibd the World's lurgest volcano. Near the top of this great mountain, towering to a height of 13,675 feet above the sea, Is the crater of Mokuaweoweo# . with an area of 2,370 acres, a circumference of 9.47 miles, a length of 3.7 miles, and a width of 1.74 miles. In October, 1919, a great flow of lava from the west side of Mauna Loa took place. It began in a rift well up toward the summit, and sweeping its way through virgin forests below finally reached the sea, where it pushed up a sand cone of great dimensions. It was called the Allka flow, because It passed over the Allkn section of South Kona. It destroyed 1,800 linear feet of the main highway around the island. *Leading from the crater Itself and'in the region just be- Jojv are several rifts of great scientific interest. B*rom these rifts, which in many cases are highly 'colored, numerous lava flows have issued, among them the great flow of 1881 which nearly destroyed the city of HUo. In the line of these rifts are many spatter cones and other peculiar phenomena that attract the attention of the tourist. Halekala, "The House of the Sun," la the largest Quiescent volcano In the world. The elevatiou of its summit is 10,032 feet. Its crater is nineteen square miles, or 12,160 aero; the circumference of the rim, twenty miles; extreme length, 7.48 miles; extreme width, 2.37 mWes. The almost vertical walls drop half a mile or more. It is Impossible to realize the great area of the crater. The whole of New York city, below Central park, could be burled within its depths, and th^ highest ef that city's church spires would be but toys by the side of Its cinder cones; cones which rise like young mountains from the bottom of the crater, and which are relatively but fair-sized ant hills When viewed from the summit. Thin vantage point is above the usual cloud elevation. The level rays of the setting sun illuminate every nook and corner of the stupendous crater and bring to view the outlines and delicate tints of the majestic pictures which have been hung In this mammoth gallery, to thrill and awe all who look upon them.

As the sun rose higher the colors in tlu? crater became more and more intense, the shadows deeper and bluer, and then the sunlight began to brighten the sugar-cane fields far below fully 10 or 15 minutes after we had seen the first glow.
