and withdraw from territory which has
been garrisoned for more than a year.
According TO Washington paper, the
administration is afraid to withdraw
from the West Indies, which will make
it necessary to send a large number
of volunteers from the United States
to China.

We are inviting all sorts Of trouble.
The policy of the administration is to

when politicians plunge the country
into needless wars.
We have troops in China, Porto
Rico, Cuba, Hawaii and scattered over
the thousand isles of the Philippines.
We need more troops, for colonial de-
tendencies require garrisons and large

implies constant warfare and foreign
disputes.
These are the incidents of imperial
ism. Against these, rocks the admins

A meeting of the physicians of Ho-

covers diamond Ring.
The recovery of a diamond ring val
ued at $3.50 was a clever piece OF work
by Deputy Marshal Chillingworth on
Saturday. The loss of the ring was
reported by Mrs. McGreggor, who lives
on Nuuanu avenue, below the White
House. Deputy Marshal Chillingworth
learned that a boy named Dan, with
another boy named Paul Kanoa, had
been at Mrs. McGreggor's house remoy-
ing a trunk, and Dan was taken into
custody and closely questioned. At
first he denied all knowledge OF any
theft, but finally told the Deputy Mar
shall that the other boy had taken a
small box from a bureau in the Nc
Greggor house.
Kanoa was arrested, but half-hour's
questioning by Deputy Marshal Chill
lingworth failed to bring any informa-
ton to light. After the officer re-
viewed the boys answers, however,
and showed him his numerous false
hoods, the boy broke down and con-
fessed that the ring was in his trunk
at home. Accompanied by an officer
young Kanoa went to his house and
produced the ring. which was later re-
turned TO the owner. KanOa will be

Menace of Chinatown.
THAT portion of the city commonly
spoken of as Chinatown" has ever
been a menace to the health OF the
community. Situated as it is in the
very heart of the city, the recurrence
of epidemics having their origin there
must impress us with the necessity for
radical action. With our increasing
commerce and population. with an
added desire and interest on the part
of the Oriental populations to congre-
gate about the institutions which they
keep alive, something must be done TO
protect the city against the danger OF
outbreaks of disease among this por-
ton Of the people. The removal of
Chinatown has been discussed. but IL
must be remembered that the minimum
of hardship must be inflicted upon
those interests.

About Sewerage.

AT last we have, after persistent ef-
forts of several years, the beginning
OF a sewer system, which is now in the
course of construction. Engineered by
an expert in city sanitation, the nu-
cleus Of perfect drainage plan is be-
ing put down. But il is no more than
nucleus, for IL has become apparent
that it is absolutely inadequate TO the
needs of the city even as ii now is. It
IS more true in cities than in anything
else that we build for a future. Surely
none of us will doubt that our city is
destined TO be greater and broader and
as we put down the foundation those
who come after us will reap the benefit
in health and happiness. While the
system now planned will take care Of
the center of the city. there are grow
ing districts just outside which must
be protected and the pipes should
reach the outskirts before We are salts
fed that We have the greatest good
from the drainage plans.
As to Garbage.
The disposition Of the refuse Of a
city has of recent years engaged the
best efforts Of sanitary engineers. Two
plans seem to be feasible. One which
is most used in the United States is
the consumption Of garbage in special
furnaces. BY this plan intense heat Ia
applied to the collected refuse matter
so the consumption is absolute. Such
progress has been made in cOnstruc-
tiOn that now the burning OF a city's
garbage is carried on with a minimum
of annoyance to the nasal organs OF
those living near the crematories, as
the gases help TO furnish the fuel In
Europe. where economy is more care
fully studied, a plan which Is meeting
with great favor and success Is the
sterilizing OF all garbage and the SOL
ids carried by the sewers, by subjecting
them 10 great heat in Tetorts. and the
organic matter thus reduced is sold as
fertilizer, practically in some instances
paying the expenses Of collection.
Should this latter plan seem feasible
here the resultant fertilizer should find
ready market on the plantations.
Disposition Of the Dead.
The enthusiasm Of a few short
months ago to secure and provide bur-
ial grounds outside the city limits ap
pears TO have evaporated, and we find
that we are just where We were when
the agitation seemed to be bearing
fruit. The cemeteries are becoming

TO POSTPONE OLD AGE.

The latest theory is to apply electric
ity to the base of the brain. The hard
ening of the arteries-the first symp-
tom-is followed by a crumbling away
of the brain cells. This process pro-
duces the mental characteristics of old
age. Not alone does this treatment re-
store the feelings of youth, but pio-
duces the appearance of it. While nun
dreds of experiments have been PIE"
scented, there is but n way of p%rolong-
ing youth, and that is by the prese1Vl-
ton of health. For this purpose, ana

GOOD ADVICE.

The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from Dyspep-
STA and Liver Complaint. More than
seventy-five per cent of the people in
the United States are afflicted with
these two diseases and their effects:
Such as Sour Stomach, Sick Headache,
Habitual Costiveness, Palpitation of
the Heart, HEARTBURN, Water-brash,
Gnawing and Burning Pains at the Pit
Of the Stomach, Yellow Skin, Coated
Tongue and Disagreeable Taste in the
Mouth, Coming up Of Food after Eating,
Low Spirits, etc. Go to your Druggist
and get a bottle of August Flower for
Is cents. Two doses will relieve you.
