PLAGUE DEATHS 70 DATEoEEN HOTEL ABANDONED
BOARD OF HEALTH TO GIVE UP
LEASE.
No Longer Need for the Property.
More Talk About Nuuanu Street
Stores-Routine Matters.

At the meeting of the Board of
Health yesterday afternoon it was de-
cided to give up the Queen hotel just
as soon as it can be fumigated and
placed in proper sanitary condition.
The hotel was taken some time ago,
to be used as u quarantine depot for
any white people that might be taken
from infected districts. 1t has been
occupied by the two families from the
block near Union square.
All of the out-houses and fences at
the Wing Wo Tai store will be destroy
ed Inside of the house, walls will be
torn out, the lower floor removed and
the upper floor burned over with sui
rhuric acid. Goods are being moved
to the fumigating depot. Perishable
articles, as well as the personal be-
longings of the plague victim from the
| premises, Will be destroyed by fire.
| The question of raising the quaran-
| tine on the Waikiki side of Nuuanu
street between Hotel and King again
| came up. 1t was finally voted that all
of the out-houses be removed and that
! the merchandise i'm the block be sub
mitted to thorough fumigation. The
latter requirement was not suggested
| before.
1t was reported impossible to place
! the buildings at the corner of Emma
and Beretania streets in a sanitary
condition, and the decision was partial
| ly reached to destroy them by fire
Mr.. Humberg, of the Merchants
| committee, reported that the larger
portion of Chinese merchants had
agreed to accept &C 2-3 per cent for all
perishabe goods to be destroyed by the
Board of Health. The goods are now
stored in the fumigating warehouses.
1t was decided to try and secure from
Colonel Ruhlen the house on the Wal
kiki side of the drill shed grounds for
the purposes of a temporary dispen-
Sary.
Mr.. Cooper was appointed a commit
tee of one to investigate small stream
that flows from Kawaiahao seminary
across Kewalo toward the sea and to
make recommendations as to what
should be done with it,

CURATIVE POWERS OF
CONCENTRATED SUNLIGHT

instantly. As a matter of interest in the
science of healing it is important to bear
in mind the structures through which
light must pass in reaching the deepest
portions OF the lungs. There are a single
thickness of skin, the semi-transparent
breast bone and ribs, few thin muscles,
and the transparent pleurg 70 be passed
through. and then the light has reached
the lungs, themselves almost wholly com
posed Of thin-walled air cells.
The reflector used in making these ex-
periments is a compound circular mirror.
thirty inches in diameter and overlald
with blue glass. 1t is so constructed that
all the light that falls upon It is focused
upon spot six inches in diameter at
distance of eight feet in front of It, Thus
a very powerful blue light is brought to
bear upon the parts
The heat rays of the solar spectrum are
largely contained in the red band, while
the actlnio or chemical rays are much
more abundant in the violet and ultra
violet bands. Thus by utilizing the blue
light we get much greater percentage Of
the heat rays than If ordinary white light
be used.
Belief in the healing powers of light Is
based upon these principles: That light is
a powerful germicide. its bacteria-killing
powers being due to the violet or chem
ical rays Of the solar spectrum; that the
chemical rays irritate not only the skin,
but all OF the tissues through which they
pass, the irritation arousing to greater
activity me vital forces in the parts upon
and through which the light is made to
pass; that the light has a chemical action
upon the blood through which it passes.
AS sunlight must be excluded from bac-
THEOLOGICAL laboratories because 1t kills
the choicest cultures, so. If 1t is passed
through the body IT kills the bacteria con-
tained therein. Hundreds of cases of
lupus have been cured by the action of
the light on the bacillus of tuberculosis
in lupus, and many cases of consumption
treated by Dr. Kline in the same way
show marked Improvement In weight and
otherwise. These cases are treated for
thirty minutes twice day.
1t has long been known that countries
having maximum Of sunshine were most
favorable to recovery from the ravages
of tuberculosis. Arizona, New Mexico,
California and Colorado have been the
Meccas for those suffering from this dis
ease. 1t has likewise been recognized
that cattle on the Western plains are
practically free from tuberculosis, while
those confined in barns are seriously af-
fected with IT.
Sunshine has nos, however. been used
in the most effective manner. Patients
have been sent across the continent to
enjoy its advantages, but on reaching the
land of sunshine they have still envel-
oped their bodies in clothing impervious
TO light. That sunshine may be Of great
est value it must fall upon the man
himself and not upon his clothing Or
binary sunshine falling upon the surface
of the body penetrates the tissues to
considerable depth. The condensed ac-
tinic rays of the sun pass entirely through
the human body.

WHEREIN THE MEAT EATER EX-
GELS THE VEGETARIAN.

uals of them have been found to have an
enormous length. even as much as fifty or
ffty-ive feet. This fact is testified to by
Konig. Gruber and other great medical
authorities.
"Of all the world the workingman of
this country has to think as he works
He is in no sense a beast of burden; he
cannot live ON grain. One-third of the
blood In his entire body is needed to
keep his brain active. His labor is fierce
ly fast and competitive All this and
more is in his work that Is not in others.
He needs rapid nerve repairing food,
strong red meats. He cannot do such work
except with these man might be
quiet, intellectual sage on vegetables, or
can be a beast of burden and live on
such if he has the right kind Of viscera:
but he cannot do fierce, nerve smashing.
competitive work or be a good soldier
without meat, and plenty of it.
zone needs a certain racial. geographi-
cal and anatomical disposition to be
good vegetarian. OF ali peoples we are
the least so qualified. The vegetarian
races have on an average five to ten feet
more of intestines than meat eaters, and
so can live and toll on grain and vege-
tables, but they cannot build warships,
bridges, typesetting machines, skyscrap-
ers, locomotives, etc.
1T is safe to say that this century's
unprecedented use of meat has had nearly
as much to do with speeding and progress
sing civilization as either coal or iron.
The American cannot do the skilled and
speedy work required of him and meet
the worlds competition. as he does now,
unless he has an abundance of meat.
1.-THE recent experiments of living on
a few cents day are most unfortunate
and misleading, for some of our people
may be tempted to economize in this
dangerous way. The workingman of this
country is so constructed that he cannot
do this safely, and it is foolish and haz-
ardous for him to attempt such a thing.
Every man who works should eat at
least one pound Of fresh, rare beef daily.
The man who eats meat and works to
earn 1t too makes the best citizen and
workman and the bravest soldier"

Suburbs Growing at
The Expense of Cities

That reaction against city life. which
has been going on OF late years, has
been shown in the census of the cities
Of the country. The cities have been
merged into suburbs and the suburbs
into the country, until II is now diff
cult 10 determine where the one leaves
of and the other begins. Scribner's
Magazine says. in its Point Of View
THE impcsslbility of delimiting or de-
fining the suburb. as its extent be-
comes more and more indefinite, is due
no less TO the influence of trolley com.
petition than to its direct facilities.
To this competition must be largely at
tributed the fact. discovered by Prof.
Commons in his recent investigation OF
railways In Massachusetts,, that while
fares for long distances have fallen but
little below what they were fifty years
ago, commutation fares for short dis
tances have fallen nearly so per cent
In ten years-that is, during the period
Of trolley extension. 1t is by no means
a case merely of cheaper suburban liv-
ing. For the opportunity of a country
home for those whose work calls them
daily to the city keeps pace with a new
devotion to all that now attracts to the
country, the love of sport, and any in
terest or diversion that calls one out
into the open. Suburban living has
thus come to mean something far diff
ferent from what 1t used TO be thought
when a suburb was merely nearness to
a great city. And with every in
creased remove the suburban city
fe
inc country, while the attraction of the
city life to the country worker is dis
tinctly lessening. So far. then. as the
census shows a relatively arrested
rate of increase in city population it
justifes a new Identification of suburb
with country, and is a sign of a
healthy reaction which may some day
reach the now abandoned farm
