WATER SUPPLY.

Some almost startling facts were
submitted to the Board of Health
yesterday regarding the water
supply. The water is polluted
both by surface drainage from
the public highway and by de-
cayed vegetable matter from its
sources to the reservoirs. 1t was
stated by medical members of the
Board that a great deal of sick
ness certainly resulted from the
impurity of the water supplied
to the people. The bad conditions
now reported to the Board were
exposed by the BULLETIN several
years ago, and the necessity for
clean channels from the sources,
together with a process of purih-
cation at the reservoirs, was
urgently presented. 1t was also
pointed out, after personal obser-
walton, that there must be a great
waste of water in seepage
and absorption by the sedgy
margins of the streamlets that
the supply comes from. A
settling basin and some fltering
arrangement, no matter if crude,
are wanted in connection with the
reservoir system, and the reser-
voirs ought to be lined with con-
crete like that of the o. r. & l..
Co. at Pearl City. Springs at the
sources ought to be dug out and
walled, and the streams there
from given a clean and clear
course between stone lined
banks, with gravel and sand
behind them to filter, in some de-
gree, the rain water coming from
the outlying jungle and sedge.
These ideas for remedying the
detects of our surface water sup
ply we're approved long ago by
experts to whom they were sub
mitted. Something ought to be
done promptly, for we do not
know the day when another cpl
demic Of some kind may arrive,
requiring perhaps the prohibition
of mountain water with the great
expense of furnishing the artesian
article. In the meantime, after
what the medical gentlemen of the
Board of Health have told us, it is
the part of wisdom for the people
to boil all water that is to be used
as a beverage.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

A Washington dispatch as late
as January q says the prediction
was freely made by members of
the House committee on foreign
affairs that if the proposed re-
affirmation of the Monroe doctrine
is adopted by the Senate and sent
over to the House for action it
will be allowed to rest quietly in
the committee files. More than a
majority of both Republican and
Democratic members of the COM
mittee we're interviewed without
any of them being found who en-
dorsed the resolutions. One
of the foremost authorities
on diplomatic matters in the
House said he deemed livery poor
diplomacy to take any steps tend
ing to increase the tension between
the United States and Great Bri-
tain in what practically amounted
to crisis. The perfervid declam-
atoms of members of Congress in
behalf of the doctrine ought not
to mislead anybody even at this

SUGAR BOUNTY.

An important question has been
raised by the refusal of Controller
Bowler to authorize the payment
of sugar bounties on the ground
that the law was unconstitutional.
1t is whether an executive officer
of the Government can prevent
the operation of an act of Con-
gress if he thinks it is unconsti-
tutional. Representative Ray,
member of the Judiciary commit
tee, has introduced bill that, if
it pass, will settle the question for
the future. The bill makes it un-
lawful for any executive officer of
the Government to refuse or neglect
to carry out law of the United
States on the ground of its un-
constitutionality. If he considers
that law is unconstitutional, he
shall report his opinion to the
head of his department, whose
duty it will then be to temporarily
suspend the execution of the
law, If in his Judgment such sus-
pension will not embarrass the
transaction of public business.
The question raised is to be sub
mitted to the Attorney General,
who, if he believes the law uncon-
stitutional, shall certify the fact to
the department interested and i'm
mediately institute a suit in the
Court of Claims to have the law
declared void. From the judg-
ment of that court an appeal may
be taken to the Supreme Court,
and such appeals are to have pre-
cedence. Ii, however, the Attor-
ney General regards the law as
constitutional, he shall so certify
to the department presenting the
question, and thereupon all exc
cutive officers of the Government
are to proceed to execute and en-
force it. 1t is provided that no
executive officer shall question
the constitutionality of any law
appropriating money to pay
the current expenses of the
Government or to provide for the
common defense. In the matter
of the sugar bounty the action of
Controller Bowler forced the
sugar raisers to institute suits for
themselves, and they have won
their cases before the United
States Circuit Court for the East
ern District of Louisiana. APP
peals have been taken to the
Supreme Court which will be
prosecuted with as little delay as
possible. Before the final de-
cision is given, however, long
period will have elapsed in
which the sugar men had been
kept in state of uncertainty ex-
tremely injurious to their inter
ests. Should it prove that they
are lawfully entitled to the boun-
ties, claim for damages against
the Government is only what
should be expected.

Timely Topics

President Kruger of the
Transvaal republic is one of
the greatest diplomats in the
world. He is a living proof of
the fact that in rare instances
the diplomatist is born, not
made. He is ignorant of let
tiers and the elegancies of life
and his range of reading is
very limited, but the old Boer
possesses qualities that enable
him to cope with the clevereSt
of the trained diplomatists of
England.
The attention of the whole
civilized world is now riveted
on this man and his doings.
His every act is reported in the
London and New York papers
by able special correspondents
detailed for the purpose.
Here in this little republic of
fly-specks on the great Pacific
we are so far from the arena
in which the present great
game of diplomacy is being
carried on, and our means of
getting news from the outside
world are so few and far be-
tween, that we have more time
to attend to our own and our
neighbor'S busineSS-especially
the latter, if all reports are true.
We want to call the atten-
ton of readers of the Bull
LETIN this week to something
which not only interests them
but their neighborS also. 1t is
to an article called CARBO-
LINEUM AVENARlUS. We
believe those are Latin words
but we don't know and we
don't care. We know the ar
ticle is good for the purpose it
is used, and that is all that
concerns us.
Carbolineum AvenariuS is
used for preserving wood
against all insects, rot, fungus,
etc, and it does the business
in great shape. 1t is applied
the same as paint and is in a
convenient and handy form
for use. We had a lot of this
valuable compound some time
ago but the demand was so
great when people got to know
about it that our stock was
soon exhausted. We have
plenty on hand now, however,
to supply everybody.
In building houses this pre-
paration is invaluable for coat
ing plates, mudsillS and any
lumber which is liable to come
in contact with moisture. 1t
is excellent to preserve the ends
of fence posts and telephone
poles. Railway ties coated
with it last twice as long as
without it.
Nearly everyone is troubled
with borers about their prem
Uses. These pests will not
touch any woodwork that has
once been coated with Carbo-
lineum AvenariuS. Five dol
lars invested in this prepara-
ton will save $500 worth of
lumber.
This is not a new preparation.
1t has been in extensive use in
Europe and the United States
for twelve years past, where it
is gaining favor as its merits
become better known.

Consul General Mason Reports as to Its
Practical Working.
Frank Mason, United States consul
general at Frankfort, has taken advant-
age of the fact that the new German
sugar tax went into effect June ! to
make special report 70 the STATE Ds-
partment upon the whole subject OF
sugar export bounties, pointing out the
practical working of the bounty system
in Germany, where it originated, and
quoting statistics comparing the sugar
industry in France and Germany. He
says they saw that the German
sugar producers are safe from Euro
pean competition, and do not need the
increased export bounty, but nothing
could withstand the agrarian demands.
Their victory was one of the most sig
nificent events in recent German legis-
lation. The new law cannot fail to in
crease Germany's sugar product, and
thereby exert a more or less tangible
effect on the general market,-Ameri

broken,
And many a coveted boon,

There are uncut jewels of possible

Lying about in the dust,
And many a noble and lofty aim
Covered with mould and rust.

near,
Is further away than the moon;
Tho our purpose is fair, yet We never

Is strewn with pitiful wrecks;
And the ships that have sailed from its

Bear skeletons on their decks.

And further at night than at noon.

SIDE OF WASHINGTON.
Largely Influenced by his En-
vironments.
His Tendencies Towards Higher
Ideals.

In the eighteenth century games OF
chance and betting were universal
practice in Virginia, and from WASH
ington's earliest accounts it is known
that from the age of sixteen he indul-
ged moderately therein, writes Gener-
A. W. Greedy in his first article on
"The Personal Side of Washington"
in March Ladies' Home Journal.
That most insidious form of gambling
the lottery, was an especial favorite,
being resorted to for the purpose of
raising funds for charity, church use,
or public improvements. Active and
jealous as Washington was in pro-
noting plans for the public benefit or
or in extending a helping hand to
others, it is not surprising TO find that
the tickets of the Mountain Road Lot
terry in 1869 were signed by him, and
that he spent fifty pounds therein.
He evidently did not associate lot
terry tickets with gambling any more
than the modern stock brocker asso-
ciates his "puts" and "calls" of to-day
with the same vice. To his nephew,
Bushrod, we fluid him writing,
"Avoid gambling, a vice productive
of every possible ILL"
1t would be extraordinary if a man
of Washington's passionate character
had refrained entirely from the use of
forcetul and emphatic language. AS
has been elsewhere said, his language
was alweys clean, and, it may be
added, never was in any way vulgar
beyond an occasional expletive.
These phases of Washington's life
bearing on the problems of drink,
gaming, ETC., emphasize most strongly
the inevitable trend that local customs
and opinions give to the thoughts and
habits of rising generation. Ac-
cepting unhesitatingly the amuse-
ments, habits and views of those
whom he loved best as a child, he dis
closes the innate strength of his indi-
viduality in that he fell into no
sloughs of despond. but that in years
of discretion'all his tendencies were
away from his age add toward higher
ideals of thought and sction.

Peanut Cultivation.

Peanut Cultivation in a commercial
way is confined to about half dozen
states. When the last U. S. census
was taken, the area devoted to peanuts
was 100000 acres, but during the five
years since that time in a number of
states notably Tennessee, the cultiva-
ton has been materially extended.
th The census of $50, Virginia led with
b., 1862 acres, yielding l,l7l,624 bu or
nearly third of the total crop re-
ported of 3,5SS, l43 bu. George was
second with 52,226 acres, but the rate
of yield was much smaller at scant II
bu compared with 1913 bu for Virginia
and an average for the entire country
OF l7.6 blu. The average yield per
acre in Tennessee was returned at
34.2 blu. Kansas is credited with ISL
acres, turning off an average of % bu.

age yield OF 81 bu. Missouri, Michi-
gan and Illinois have done some ex-
perimenting.

California Oranges Frozen.

The freeze in Riverside county on
the night of December 20 proves to
have been more disastrous to the or
ange crop in that part of California
than was at first believed. In some
of the higher locations the trees and
fruit escaped damaged not even the
tenderest shoots being touched, but on
the lower lands the destruction was
very great. In the early part of the
season Riverside's orange crop was es-
mated at 5000 cars of 800 boxes each
About 1000 cars have been shipped
of which 400 were forwarded before
the frost and 900 since and estimated
only 500 cars marketable fruit in the

The Punket Stove.

81 have noticed in the Louisville

wonder has not been on the market

III refer to the Punket stove. The.
punket stove was first made in China,
and its fame now reaches around the,
globe. In appearance it is simply a.
small box, with punctured top.
Into this box punk or powdered char
coal, pressed into packages, is put
after it has been lighted. The heat
generated will continue for six hours.
1t is recommended in cases OF pneumo-
MIA and neuralgia. 1t is of such size
and weight that it is easily carried :.

muffs, to keep their hands warm,
while not few while driving in their
carriages had punket stoves among
the lap robes. Courier Journal.
