Only last week we examined the beer
brewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash, and it is a
perfect Illustration of the quality of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend, for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
Of beer is most beneficial in it's use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior
excellence is a very wholesome bever-
age. Physicians often have occasion
to prescribe a pure beer for cases of
debilitation, and they can safely order
his beer, made by the Capital Brewing
company.
L. H. Dee has in his keeping the
american Journal of Health and can
De seen by anyone.
This beer can be had in bottle or on
draught at the HOFFMAN, corner of
Hotel and Nuuanu streets. A large as.
Sortment of the very best of American
and foreign liquors we are pleased to
1ell you and give you value for the
Nnefit of your health.
Yours, L. H. DEE,
Proprietor of HOFFMAN.

THE ONLY REAL STRATEGY
SANITATION THE ONLY WEAPON
AGAINST PLAGUE.
Cleanliness and Not Quarantine is the
Means With Which to Meet the Pres
ent Emergency.

EDITOR STAR:-Since the plague
has broken out again, the public natur-
ally looks to the Board of Health FOR
measures to eradicate it. The Board
which justified its existence during the
time conditions of plague epidemic
were forming themselves, by formulat-
ing minute regulations relating to pig
pens, has now risen to the emergency
which confronts it by formulating an
elaborate and intricate system of reg
uations for inter island freight and
passenger traffic.
There is only one way of dealing with
any epidemic that is to create condi-
tions under which epidemic is impossi-
BILE. Those conditions are thorough
cleanliness. The duty before the Board
is to put this city, this island, all the
islands in a perfect sanitary condition.
Not alone Chinatown and Japan Sea.
but Kewalo and Iwilei and Kakaako
and for that matter Nuuanu Valley and
Makiki, should be put in such perfect
| order that COntagion and infection
would have no chance.
Cleanliness and not quarantine is the
weapon with which to fight the black
plague. With cleanliness of the SAINT
airy kind and degree you can bring
black plague bacteria here by the ship
load and they will prove innOcuous. But
without cleanliness you can have quar-
antine regulations and red-tape piled
on till a man will have to have a pass
from the Board of Health to go from
his bed room to his bath room in the
morning. and still the plague can flour
ish.
Quarantine has seldom kept an cpl
demic out of a place where conditions
were unsanitary; it never since the be-
ginning of the world eradicated II
where it had once gained a foothold.
Sanitation and sanitary cleanliness on
the other hand will not only keep plague
out but will eradicate it where it has
secured a foothold.
It is santa ton and not quarantine
which has driven yellow fever entirely
away from three-fOurths of the cities
and towns of the Southern States where
it used to be a regular annual visitor,
and made it's visits infrequent and of
short duration in the remaining one
fourth
But if our Board of Health is going
to meet the emergency it has got to
hump ITSELF in way it never has be-
fore. The work before it is cleansing
| and sanitation. This ought TO be car
ried forward in an even, efficient un-
| hysterical way. 1t isn't necessary that
| every time there is a death the Board
shall hold a midnight nor even a spe-
cial meeting like a board of startegy
creating by its own manner spirit
| and a state of unrest. There is no
| strategy elective dSdlllSl lllt pc' lVi 10
Of zymotic disease except the strategy
| of cleanliness.
Let the members of the Board of
Health each personally know conditions
in this and that portion of the city. Let
them know it so well that the agents
they appoint will have to be efficient
out of sheer mental self-respect be-
| tween employer and employed.
Is the Board of Health ready to rec
| ognize the one thing needful and en-
gage in it with energy ard efficiency?

But here is another that calls for the
medal of honor, if 1 understand it Alright.
The military telegraph line, before the
battle began, extended on our front to
block house II close 10 the Santa Ana
bridge. The officers of the signal corps
followed up the movements of the brigade
and stretched their wires far to the front.
But the line ran through the village of
Paco-a nest of insurgents out of uniform,
therefore all the more dangerous. Pace
church was found to be a stronghold of
the rascals early in the day, and dozens
of the villagers houses proved to be only
lurking places for assassins in the garb
of peace-the white, everyday dress of
the Filipino. OF course it was not long be-
fore church and huts innumerable were in
flames and the lurking occupants hunted
out but the huge stone tower of Pace
church refused to burn and there, safe
sheltered until we could smash il with our
artillery, and fanatical to the last a party
of perhaps half a dozen insurgents kept
up incessant fire upon Americans whose
duties compelled them to cross Paco bridge

Santa Ana and the city Toward eleven
