ance; the intestinal lacteais are
ashamed to absorb such miserable pa

BURN AslAIIC FooDSTuEFs.

IL Is time TO consider one more dras-
tic move In the struggle with the
plague and that Is to destroy all i'm
ported Asiatlc food stuffs in these ISL
ands except things-like soy-which
are known to be immune from the bu-
bonic germ.
The relation between the plague and
Asiatic provender is as clear as any
thing can be which rests on circum-
stantial evidence. 1t was amidst Asiat-
ic merchandise that plague broke out,
killing the bookkeeper of a provision
store. Where the most of the baled
foodstuff was gathered--that Is to say,
on the wharyes-rat mortality began.
The late Ethel Johnson was known to
be consumer OF Oriental sweetmeats.
Mrs. Boardman commonly received
presents through the Monaghan friends
OF her husband. OF Asiatic delicacies.
Plague cases on and near Palace lane
were traced to a similar source. The
majority of all the plague victims
bought their food at Chinese and jap
anese groceries. The case of pestilence
discovered yesterday near the Waikiki
turn from King street originated close
TO n store where Oriental food was be-
ing unpacked. SO clear is the connec-
ton that one of the big plantations
lately bought up all the Oriental goods
IN It's neighborhood and burned them.
We are not sure but that the Board
OF Health ought to do the same at once
ana the Government forbid the en-
trance Vt Asiatic merchandise until
iurther notice. Most local physicians
are now Of the opinion that fumigation
an the ordinary way does little good.

LARGE APPROPRIATIONS.

The Council of State rose to the occa-
sion yesterday and appropriated $345,-
25S.24 for the extension of the sewers
and 100000 for the payment of ex-
penses incurred by the epidemic of
bubonic plague
Tnis is as it should be. We believe
the Legislature, in view OF all the cir
cumstances, would have done as well.
Whatever is necessary to suppress the
plague here and elsewhere in the group
is a measure of utility to every tax
payer of the Hawaiian Islands. No one
mas right to complain at any OUTLAY
that will free this group from the Asia
tic seourge. Anything necessary to
such an end is absolutely necessary.
The country is now seeing the wis
dom that lay behind the accumulation
OF a great surplus. The piling IN of
gold in the Treasury was not an advan-
tage to business and just before the
plague broke out there was a strong
movement in commercial circles here
70 have the surplus, or the greater part
OF 1t, expended upon public works.
fortunately it did not succeed and Ha-
wall now has an ample fund to draw
upon in its hour of sorest need.

RATS ARE PLEASED.

! The so-called rat poison which was
taken In good faith by the Sanitary
| Committee and distributed to house
holders seems to have given rats Their
| first relief from persecution. Sub-in-
| spectors report no marked increase in
rat mortality and what there is may
have been caused by Indigestion or
govt. Rats ate the sailed lard or
whatever it was and came back for
more. They probably took it as sort
of gastronomic reparation from those
who have been killing so many of them
by other means. Were they able to
write letters to the press we should
expect to record their appreciative
thanks to the manufacturers although
they might express a certain bitterness
at the absence of their favorite oil of
rhodium from the banquet But oil of
rhodium at 81 per ounce was probably
regarded as too rich for their blood.
1t Is possible that the continued eat
ing of the lard may cause fatal indiges-
ton among large numbers of the
rodent tribe and that will of course ex-
cuse farther use of the pomade.
But householders who do not wish
their rats to linger along with declin-
Ing health until next summer had bet
ter resume the practice of setting traps
or putting poison on raw meat. The
rats, after gorging themselves with
lard, may attack the meat with
heartier relish. In that case al's well
that ends well.
Some days ago the Advertiser recon-
mended the poison on the strength of
the manufacturers prospectus as a
bane not only for rats but for cock
reaches. We wish to renew the state
ment about the cockroaches. Expert
ments show that, if box of the prepar-
ed lard Is set on the kitchen floor at
night, it will be surrounded with lively
reaches In the morning. Then the
family can turn in and throw a blanket
over the pests holding them down while
they are being trampled on or pounded
with sticks. Used in this way the Off
eial Rat Poison U't'd.) is a sure sue
cess.

ENGLAND VERSUS EUROPE.

The last mail advices state that the
entire British navy, go vessels, is being
put into fighting condition. What the
immediate cause Is does not appear. 1t
certainly is not for the purpose of fight
ing the Beers.
Regardless of specific aets-on the part
of the European powers, however, En-
gland has to face the disagreeable fact
that there is spirit of intense hostility
toward her throughout Europe. This
feeling is not only among the govern
ments, but animates the people and Is
apparently increasing. Public opinion
Is more and more influencing European
governmental action, and with this
substratum of ill-will and the MANY
points at which Russian, German and
French material interests now touch
and conflict, there Is grave danger that
general war may be precipitated.
We publish In this and the next issue
of the Advertiser the substance of two
articles which set forth the present
European feeling from a German and
Russian standpoint. There can be no
doubt that these articles faithfully pre-
sent the dominant if not the universal
European hostility to Great Britain,
and so frankly that 1t behooves every
Britisher to read them. "Forewarned
is forearmed."

That the special artists at work on
the Anglo Boer war have not had much
chance to observe the embattled burg
her personally Is shown by their ste
reotyped way of picturing him. Ac-
cording to the artists, every Boer SOL
der Is between forty and seventy years
old and Is bewhlskered like a Kansas
Populist. Not single man of the usu-
al military age meets the eye in the
sketches of which the illustrated pa
pers are full. II it were not for the
well-known habit Of war artists to
camp In some comfortable seaport, far
from the din OF war and evolve mill
tary scenes from their imagination,
one might think that the Transvaal
was being defended by the grandfath-
ers of the country while the middle
aged and youthful burghers were stay
ing at home to entertain the women
and do the family milking.

PeriIs of Appendicitis.


DR.. w. F. Cheney gave lecture last
evening on Appendicitis at the
Cooper Medical College, it being the
third subject treated in the present
season of Lane lectures. He told of
the inheritance of a vermiform appen-
dix; of its utter worthlessness and it's
position as death trap in the human
body. Among the common fallacies
that hes did away with was the idea
that grape seeds, orange pipS and
cherry stones are frequent promoters
of appendicitis. He said: 1.-The pres
the fault of our four-footed ancestors,
especially of those of them who ate
grass"
DR.. Cheney then gave the theories
of evolutionists, especially of Darwin
and Drummond bearing on the sub
ject and continuing he described the
location of the vermiform appendix.

said the teacher, that settles in the
region of the vermiform appendix, lose
no time in wondering what is going
on. With the pain comes also a sore
ness and tenderness to pressure. An
illness presenting this combination
should always be enough to warrant
professional investigation without de-
lay. While it is recognized now that
seeds and other foreign bodies have
practically nothing to do with the case,
it is quite common for concretions to
be found in the appendix. Appended
