At last we are to have scientific
regime i'll the home Pratt institute has
opened a course of study i'll domestic
science that goes away beyond anything
that has so far been tried in this or
any other country. The science of cook
ing has. for some time. been the fad in
domestic science. and it was thought
that when once mastered the growth
would be complete. The chemical values
of foods were an important feature. and
the simple diet as !, Means to nutrition
and of reducing the demands upon nat
urc's machinery was an attendant detail
to which much attention was given.
The labOra tory became the anterOOm to
the Kitchen; fermrnts and adulteratiOn.
and plain life and bacteria. and a whole
list of subjects that are known to the
old-fasfioned housewife by some other
name, were shown up under the rays of
the sparchlight of science, and every
atom of food was made to reveal it's OK
ce1lence or deficiencies and stand on it's
own chemical merits. This knowledge
was leading up to something. no one
knows what. and it's result could not be
foretold any more than the future of
electricity can be exactly defined A.
climax has been reached, however. and
the end is not yet. The diet kitchen
was one result, and now the most practi-
cal result of all is suggested in Il post
graduate course to the understanding
and cooking of food, viz. its selection
and purchase and the preparation of
students for the position of stewardesS
Of hotels and large philanthrOpic and in
duStriul institutions.

nolulu subjected at present to hard
ships, inconvenience, and loss? 1t
is a well-established opinion in Ho-
nolulu that the cholera was brought
here from Japan in the freight from
Kobe. No proven case of cholera

none at the quarantine station. The

also wants the mouth OF the stream

the following petition signed by

which reads:
To THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF
THE BOARD OF HEALTH:
Gemtlemen:-We, the undersigned
Japanese merchants of Honolulu,
respectfully ask the Board OF Health
to make such reasonable rules for
the landing and disinfecting of
freight from steamers coming to this
port from Japan as shall be suffici
ent to prevent the introduction of
disease, but, at the same time, not
so stringent as to be practically pro-
hibitory.

most prominent Japanese business

of Hawaii's capital and advertls-
ing it as the healthiest and most
beautiful place in the world; we
have done this so often and for
such a length of time that we
finally came to believe what we
said and wrote.
The beauty is here but the
recent epidemic has clearly de-
monstrated that the beauty was
not even "soil" deep. We have
been roughly awakened to find
that the drinking water is i'm
pure and unfit for domestic pur-
poses; that the atmosphere is
polluted; and that the town gen
orally is in as filthy condition as
any Oriental overcrowded city.
Officials and private citizens
have been aroused and the cpl
demic will cause thorough
cleansing of Honolulu, the con-
struction of proper sewerage,
and also a general sense of the
necessity to adopt for each house
and each individual proper sani-
tary precautions.
We have placed in the market
a filter for water taps. 1t is not
everybody who can afford to
purchase water filters but no
house should be without the Tap
Filter. The filter will fit all
Gin. taps, and the water running
through it will be thoroughly
filtered. All water should be
boiled before using but it is ne
cessary to filter it before boiling,
and for that purpose the Tap
Filter is the most practical and
simplest apparatus. We sell
them for $1.00 each.
Roberts Ozonator which has
recently won a great reputation
in the United States is the
surest and cheapest disinfector
known. From the Ozonator is
dilfused "Sanitas Vaporizer Mix
ture' which is unequalled as a
germ destroyer, and the smell
of which is pleasant and not
nauseating like other disinfec-
tants. The Ozonator ought to
be placed in all water closets,
bathrooms and other places ex-
posed to an unhealthy air. The
effects Of the Ozonator are anti
septic, disinfecting and deodo-
rizing. In sick rooms, where
the patients suffer from diseases
breeding foul odors, the disin-
fecting apparatus has proven a
boon and promptly destroyed
the foulness of the air. The
Ozonator costs only $500, and
nobody purchasing one will ever
regret the investment.
Besides discussing the above
sanitary goods we will call at
tention to the new Electric Vib-
rating Bell which we sell for the
low price of $3.50. For that
amount the purchaser gets fifty
feet OF wire, a dry battery, the
vibrating bell and the necessary
staples, etc. The bell is easily
put up and it will prove great
convenience to people whose
servants live in detached cot
tages, or who wish facilities to
call up their stables, etc. Mer-
chants and owners of warehouses
or stores will also find the bell
a great convenience, and the

How tardy the acknowledgement
The Advertiser states, referring to
the low lying land on the Eva side
of the Nuuanu stream, "The filling
in of this low marshy land was re-
commended some three years ago,
but nothing was done on account OF
an economical streak which now
proves to have been decidedly cost
ly." Note the time. Remember
whose economical streak" it was
that prevailed. Gould any more
