ANOTHER WARNING.

The subject of tuberculosis and warn
ings about it's danger appear in all d.
rections. Here in Honolulu, after re-
peated warnings a beginning has been
made by the establishment of a Hos
pital for Incurables. But the hospital
is only a step, there should be a sana-
torium for consumptives on every ISL
and. The hospital for incurables takes
the case of those in the last stages of
the disease, they go there to die in COM
fort. The sanatoriums for consump-
tiVes take the cases in the early stages,
and strive to effect a cure. Taken ir
its earliest stages consumption is cur
able.
Another warning about consumption
comes from Norway. 1t is contained
+n the report of U. S. Consul Victor n
Nelson of Bergen. He says:
y, "Dr. Claus Hansen, of Bergen, re-
Gently delivered a lecture before the
Storthing, at Christiania on the causes
OF tuberculosis and the fight against it
He stated that during the thirty years
Of his own experience consumption had
iii'i S'iSNu III lhe beISSu district oU per
cent. In the year 1896, 54.5 per cent Of
all deaths between Is and 30 years Of
age were caused by tuberculosis, and
statistics show that about 1000 of the
inhabitants of Norway die every year
of this disease. In England, he con-
tinued, they have succeeded during the
last fifty years in reducing one-half tie
number Of tuberculous cases, and ply
sicians attribute this to the increasing
cleanliness in English home life and
the erection of cOnsumptive hospitals
The foremost endeavors in fighting
tuberculosis should be to agitate for
greater cleanliness in general; particu-
larly should efforts be directed against
the habit of expectorating.
statistics of consumptive sanatori-
ums in Germany show that Sc 1-3 per
cent of the inmates were able to work
the first year after the cure 60 per cent
after two years, As per cent after three,
and IS per cent after four years. On
an average, it is estimated that so per
cent of the patients in sanatoriums
have their ability to work heightened
by one year. The advantages of public
sanatoriums for consumptives are 30
great that the German invalid insur-
ance companies erect these institutions
simply for reasons Of economy"
There are several things worth con-
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-04-27

The invention of a method for coaling
ships without the necessity of using a
man for each basket, will prove of con-
siderable advantage, if it proves a sue
cess. Every labor saving device Is
looked upon by the laborer as direct
injury to him, but the fact is that every
labor saving device gives work. When
railroads came in it was supposed that
horses would no longer be needed. As
a fact, in consequence of the greatly
enhanced carrying capacity more hors-
es are needed, and more men are re-
quired to look after drays and loading.
The wharf front laborer may not have
to carry baskets of coal, but there will
be plenty of work for him of some other
kind. The number of workers earning
good wages in this world is far greater
in countries where there is any quantity
of labor saving machinery, than it IS
in countries where everything is yet
done by manual labor and bull strength.

SPECIAL TRAINING.

few days ago when commenting
upon the class of men that work upon
sugar plantations, The Star suggested
that it would be a practical step in
real advancement for the planters to
establish an agricultural college, and
train up a set of young men for this
work, instead of taking raw material
which has been trained to something
entirely different, and breaking it in
upon the field. The trained agricultur-
.alist, with proper scientific education, is
the man that goes to the front in agri-
cultural enterprise nowadays.
Other countries have seen this long
ago, and have established such colleges,
and certainly these Islands should put
on their considering caps in this direc-
ton. But not only have the other coun-
tries started agricultural colleges, but
now, in France and in Belgium, there
have been established schools for pre-
pairing young men for special duties in
the Colonies.
A colonial" school is to be opened in
Marseilles. instruction is to be given
in botany, geology, natural history, col
onial geography and history. There will
be museums of colonial products, and a
school of medicine for the study of
tropical diseases. Expeditions of stu
dents will be sent out at the expense
of the state, and results utilized in re-
ports to the commercial houses.
In Belgium a colonial" department
has been added to the horticultural
school, at Valvorde Here the same
scientific training is followed out, with
practical instruction in house building
and the rules of sanitation. Lectures
on the treatment of unskilled labor will
also be given.
All this points to the fact that for any
career in life, people begin to under
stand that there must be special train
ing. Men do overcome the disad-
vantages of lack of training, but they
all agree that in doing so they lose
much time.
If this is true of the young men of
France and Belgium, who are being
trained for colonial life, it should be
true of our young men, who should be
trained for our great industry. We
ought to raise our own agricultural
chemists, and our own experts in every
branch of that complication of skill and
muscle Which goes TO form sugar
plantation. II is an idea worth the con-
sideration of our foremost men,

In this land ofperpetual sum
mer the Blue Flame Wickless
Oil Stove should be used very
extensively and the demand is
increasing every day.
There are many kinds Of
oil stoves made, only a few
have proved a success.
The following points, should
be carefully considered:
First, Safety; Second, Cooking Mer-
its; Third, Economy in Fuel; Fourth
Durability; Fifth, Cost and Facility of
Immediate Repairs.
We are making a speciality
of the Blue Flame Wickless
Oil Stove business and are car
rying in stock in all sizes two
of the best makes in America.
If you purchase a stove from
US we will give you a written
guarantee to furnish you for
your stove kerosene oil for
one year at a price not to ex-
coed a fixed rate; then you will
no longer be at the mercy of
oil spectators and will know
just what your fuel cost you.
We have an expert in atten-
dance who will explain the
operation of our stoves and we
guarantee satisfaction.
Please notice a sample each
of our stoves in operation in
our large front window. These
Blue Flames are lighted at 7
a. m. and run until 5 p. m.

Under American territorial legislation
It will perhaps become possible to
amend the tax law, in such form that
a man who fails to pay his taxes, be-
cause he has been burned out of house
and home, and cannot obtain work,
need not be regarded as criminal, be
taken to prison and sentenced to fif-
teen days hard labor and the degra-
ton of wearing the same prison garb
that a thief or a housebrealIer has had
to wear. These warrants signed In
blank by the tax collector in chief, are
really a scandal. The number of cases,
1t is true, has not been very large, but
that can be accounted for by the fact
that a very keen eye is kept on the
matter by the press.

The political pot will begin to boil
soon, and the machine will be getting
Its joints oiled up, so as to get into
working order. When we get the
amended bill in it's latest form we will
be able to see where we are at. The
fact that there is to be a delegate in
Congress has set half a dozen polite
ians hungering for the job. When the
time comes for the election of the dele
gate it is highly probable that not one
of the half dozen now dreaming of
Washington will be the happy man.

The extra days of quarantine are really
a period of supererogation. On Monday
next we will be declared a free port,
and our commercial relations will once
more be free to run in their regular
channels. 1t will then not take long
for the Island steamers to get back to
schedule time, and the Islands will once
again be in normal condition.
