give. Instead of cutting down the
bill on its third reading, the mem
bers are simply increasing it, and
the mood of strenuous economy
which animated the Legislature
almost to a man but a few weeks
ago, seems to have passed utterly
away. The opening of the present
biennial period saw balance of
more than three hundred thousand
dollars in the Treasury. If the
House continues as it has begun,
April 1, 1894, will be an All Fools
Day indeed.
The Legislature, not the news
papers nor the long-suffering COM
munity, is entrusted with the ex-
penditure of the public funds. We
can only protest against the reck-
less appropriation of money with
out asking where it is to come
from. Those who thrust into the
bill every item which seems good
in their eyes, as though there were
no limit to public revenues, are
living in a FOOLS paradise, and
must expect a rude awakening.

HUNGRY ACTORS.

A Reply to an Article in the
Advertiser, in which the
Manager Says He is
Not Worrying.

Mr.. EDITOR: The article in
your issue of to-day proves the
truth of the proverb about going
from home to hear the news. [
am not aware of being worried, or
that my lot is an unhappy one at
the present time in consequence of
the "Wooing of Kaala," or any
other woman.
If any of the lady or gentlemen
members of that combination are
worried, I sympathize with them,
but up to this moment they have
not made any demand on me for
money, as your article seemed to
imply.
If any of the ladies or gentlemen
have grievance against me and
will state the same over their
names, I will notice it. In the
meantime I may mention that /
have divided in hard cash 1912
between fifteen ofthem, in addition
to SIT worth of tickets sold by
them; add to this $5S worth OF
free passes which they asked fol
and received for their friends, and
you have a total amount against
the treasury Of 1887, or an average
of over 500 each for fourteen per
sons, some of whom had only two
or three lines to say.
The fact that an average of fif
teen day sat down at my table
just when they pleased-morning
noon and night-to eat and drink
is an unconsidered trifle of ovel
5000 more.
Nothing amateurish about tina
company surely! If their crani
ums have unfortunately expanded
in night to the extent indicated
in your article, it may be ques
ton whether these figures are not
to some extent, to blame for it
But three or four of them removed
my property costumes, ETC., and
am suing for their restoration
hence those tears.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

A number of physicians have
memorialized the Legislature on
the subject of the Board of Health,
proposing some radical changes in
it's organization. The gist of the
matter is the recommendation that
three of the seven members of the
Board shall be members of the
medical profession. The President
shall be chosen by the Board, and
may or may not be a physician.
All shall serve without pay.
We thoroughly sympathize with
these recommendations, and hope
they may be incorporated in the
law without delay. A lay Board
of Health is an absurdity. The
laws of health are no more a
subject in which it is possible
to extemporize knowledge than
are the laws of chemistry or
physics. If a man is qualified to
conduct the experiments in
chemical laboratory because he
has observed that fire burns and
ice freezes, then man is qualified
to manage the hygienic affairs of a
city because he knows that mince
pie is indigestible, or that a warm
coat is a protection against cold.
No one can have thorough know
ledge of the laws of health who has
not made them the subject of profess
sional study, and hygiene is as
much branch of medical science
as therapeutics. The art of pre-
serving health is surely not less
important than the art of restoring
it. An ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure.
If q wife or child falls sick, a
skillful physician is summoned.
The anxious husband or father
does not scorn to ask instructions
as to the most petty details, and he
carries them out to the letter. He
does not dream of relying on his
own judgment in such a concern
Yet when, instead merely of the
well-being of single individual,
the safety of whole nation is at
stake, we hand the reins to men
who have never learned how to
drive, and let the coach go to de.
struction or not, "as God wills"
These observations should not be
construed as a ..disparagement Of
the present members of the Board
of Health, who discharge their du-
ties with zeal and fidelity. They
are intended simply to make il
clear that concerns of such vital
Importance to the whole nation
should be entrusted only to thu
highest intelligence and skill.

0LEOMARGARINE.

Among the freight which arrived
by the last Mariposa, were fifty
cases of oleomargarine. Whether
this substance has long been an
article of commerce here or not, we
do not know. The frequenters
of restaurants would prob
ably describe it as a common
article of diet. Good butter
is so scarce in Honolulu that
oleomargarine might well slip
around among the butter pats and
down threats, unidentified, though
not perhaps unnoted. Very little
has been heard upon the subject
here, at any rate, and few suspect
that it is an article of consumption.
Oleomargarine is a perfectly
legitimate substitute for butter,
and it may be quite as wholesome.
1t is not, however, butter, and the
sale of it as such should be pro-
hibited by law. The United States
has adopted this policy, and it is
the more to be regarded when it is
known that oleomargarine may be
the means of transmitting diseases
when made from the fat of I'M
healthy animals. This is fac
which has lately been demon,
strated by two italian physicians
of prominence.

but one desire, and that to be
"let alone" Food in any
shape is repulsive and the
patient goes through the
voyage on a starvation basis
because, as a rule, the
stomach will not retain
anything. TARo-MALoo is
peculiarly adopted to such
cases; the stomach will be
strengthened by it and other
food may be partaken an hour

TARO-MALoo has been used
with pleasant results.

notice that they differ from
the ordinary link collar in
that all the links are solid
and no soft solder is used.
If you want to see a sad dog,
just look at one just after he
has tried to break one of these
collars, the way he used to
break the old soldered link kind
by walking to the end Of his
chain and then finding that
he had an engagement to
keep in the next yard.
