MATTERS OF INTEREST
REGULAR SESSION OF THE NATIONAL
BOARD OF HEALTH.


Board of Health met at 3 p. M.
Wednesday, all members present.
Mr.. Keliipio reported 5o,ooo fish
inspected during the past week.
He remarked that quite a number
of fish were being salted.
Mrs. DR.. Z. J. Barlow, visiting
physician, asked permission to visit
the experimental station at Kalihi.
Mr.. Smith thought it bad policy to
permit anyone to visit the station
unless accompanied by one of the
examining physicians. Referred to
DR.. Meyers.
A request from the I. o. o. F.
insurance department for mortality
statistics was read. 1t came
through Mr.. Hastings at Washing
ton, and to him through Senator
Sherman Of Ohio. The inforna-
ton will be furnished. Mr.. Smith
remarked that insurance companies
were becoming dubious about TAX
ing risks, having the impression
that the death rate was large. The
Board considered the death rate OF
Honolulu very low, and expressed
some surprise at this idea OF insur'
ance companies.
The old contract for vaccine virus
at 60 cents per tube was relet.
DIR. Wayson reported on the work
in quarantine. 1t was decided TO
compensate DIR. Wayson at the rate
of SIS per day.
Mr.. Smith presented questions OF
Representative Hanuna, asking 1t
the Government knew people were
living over graves, and what would
be done about the matter. Mem
bers of the Board reported that ma
tives were living over graves at Ka-
waiahao cemetery. Mr.. Reynolds
was instructed to investigate and
report at next meeting.
Mr.. Reynolds and DIR. Day re-
ported a suitable cemetery location
near the shooting range at Kalihi.
Deferred for future consideration.
A physician wrote the Board that
on April 10Th he was called to see
native woman. She had been
attende by Chinese doctor. He
had made most horrible botch of
it. Nothing could be done for the
poor woman and she died. The
physician considered the criminal
carelessness and ignorance of the
Chinese doctor alone responsible for
the woman's death. He hoped, if
Chinese doctors had to practice
they would be compelled to confine
the practice to their own people,
Mr.. Smith said he had inyes-
tigated and found it to be within
the province of the Board to have
licenses cancelled. Mr.. Lansing
and DIR. Day thought the case men
toned above a proper one for Grim
inal prosecution for malpractice.
1t was decided to call the Chinese
doctor before the Board first and
hear his statement of the case.
David KAPPA was sent for and in
structed to follow up the case. The
Chinese doctor was summoned to
appear before the Board.

The Best Lubricants and How to Apply
Them to Bicycles.
There il nothing 80 important in the
tool rack" Of the bicyclist us the lubri,
cant. and 1t should be carefully chosen.
II too thick. it will gum and cause un-
necessary friction. II too thin, it will
not perform its duty. When oil is intro
duced into the bearings of any piece Of
machinery, it forms minute globules
and acts as rollers or balls, separating
the axle or other point of contact from
the collar surrounding it and within
which 1t revolves In the absence of
these little crystals Of oil the axle and
the inside Of the hub grind on each 9TH
er. and trouble ensues. The steel balls
which are used in the bearings of bi-
cycle Of course tend to minimize this
friction, and were 1t possible to make
absolutely dustproof bearings there
would be use for very little oil applied
at long intervals Of time But every lit
tie particle of dust increases the friction
and retards the rolling of the balls,
tending to make them slide instead of
roll The best oil IL composed prin-
cipally Of sperm and kerosene, boiled to-
gether. The sperm oil. while in itself
good lubricant when first applied, is too
thick. The kerosene which is used 70
thin the sperm oil also cuts out the dirt
or other foreign substance and aids in
keeping the bearings olean.
A few drops Of oil applied at the
proper time and in proper place are
much better than whole canful Of oil,
and the best results are obtained from q
small quantity dropped into the bearings
every time the wheel is taken OUT There
are some lubricants manufactured which
are claimed to be equally efficient in
cleaning the bicycle, lubricating the
bearings and also the chain, but as a
general thing the oil which is best for
use In the bearings is an absolute failure
when applied to the chain.
For the chain lubricant is necessary
which will form coating over the
links, preventing them from grinding
on the sprocket wheel, causing that
clicking, biting noise so familiar to the
novice who has not yet learned to take
the proper care of his mount The most
approved article for this use is composed
Of lampblack, kerosene and beeswax.
These ingredients when compounded in
proper proportion form mixture that,
when applied to the chain. does not col
lect dust to any great extent, is lasting
and makes the chain run smoothly over
the sprocket. In the absence Of other
chain lubricant common brown soap
forms an excellent temporary substitute.
After spreading tho lubricant along the
links the chain should be wiped off.
Enough Of the lubricant will adhere to
answer all purposes. New York Post.

A. A. ZiMMERMAN'S ADVICE.

Brace up and keep up and mark the
difference.
There is form about riding bicycle
just as there is good form ut the table.
Give your lungs an opportunity to fill
with fresh air. That's what you are out
for.
II you are ont for mild little jaunt,
you will enjoy it ever so much more if
you sit up straight.
II In city street, keep your shoul-
ders back and your head well up so you
won't meet with an accident.
II you don't stoop over your wheel,
you will not be afflicted with what has
become known as the bicycle face.
There's nothing SO attractive about
the road that you should keep your eyes
on it constantly. Study the country you
are riding through.
" is just as much bad form for you
to double over when riding the bike ~
1t Is for you to use your knife where the
fork should be used.
Ladies', don't care how handsome
your costume is or how pretty your fac,
may be, you look hideous when you 9,

you are pretty II We cannot see youi
