GROWING
In SAN FRANCISCO

The bubonic plague in San Francisco
has gotten out of the bounds of China
town, and is now in the business por-
ton of the town, according to the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The fol-
lowing is from that paper:
PORT TOWNSEND, Nov. 23.-Ar-
cording to private information receiv-
ed here today from Washington, and
which is said to have come from a
source that can be considered as Off
cial, bubonic plague exists in San
Francisco, not alone in the Chinese
quarter, but in the business portion of
that city
The report from Washington states
that there are other cases of plague in
San Francisco, but that the disease is
not confined to any particular district
There has been for some time a
general impression that bubonic
plague has been in existence in San
Francisco since quarantine was de-
clared off, some months ago, and that
the city is an infected port and, il
reports from Washington received
here yesterday are correct. it is prob
established against the bay city.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. "a
There is every reason to believe that
the Marine Hospital Service of San
Francisco is planning to place quar-
antine, and unless the merchants OF
! the city take action Federal line may
be drawn about the port in a few days
This cannot be definitely stated, as
every effort TO find out what the SER
vice is up to has so far failed. and
there is no official in the surgeon gen
erals office who will give the slightest
intimation regarding the secret ses-
sion of the Secretary of the Treasury
Spaulding and Surgeon General Wy
man. All that is known is that the
conference held today was regarding
Ialleged plague in San Francisco. They
even both deny that there was a CON
ference, but it is too well known that
such special meeting was arranged
for the truth to be long suppressed.
The recent injurious reports of the
marine hospital service has awaken
ed the officials, and if San Francisco
remains passive much longer concern
Ing the work of Kinyoun and his as
slStants, the city may soon have cause
to regret its indifference.

THE POND MOSQUITO.

According to yesterdays advices
from the Orient the relation of mos
qultoes to malaria has been studied
by the Hongkong Sanitary Board with
results which should put people on
their guard against the pond MOSQUITO.
A report on this mosquito by the
medical officer of health was submit
ted, and ran as follows:
The modern theory in regard to the
transmission of malaria is that the
ulsedSe is conveyed from man to man
py certain mosquitoes belonging to the
genus ahopheles of the dipterous Uwo-
winged) family Culicidae.
IL mas long been known that true ma

there undergo certain developmental
changes, and should the same MOSQUITO

nary mosquito genus culex) in thar

lance OF some 400 or 500 yards and can
remain alive for a period of sevarai

the maiarial organism. 1t follows,
therefore: .
ID That European houses should be
distant some 400 or 500 yards from ma
tive dwellings.
% That all pools in which anopheles
can breed should be filled UP for a like
distance around such European houses.
CD That all brushwood and rank veg
citation, including grass, should be
kept down by frequent cutting.

If people who find their milk poor in
quality will save some of it for In
spector Myhre to test, they may be
the means of putting the milk business
of Honolulu on a different basis. Abb
solutely pure milk will stand three
skimmings for cream; but it is an ex-
ception that the milk delivered from
the carts will yield more than one
skimming, or even one that is bounti-
full. Besides, much of it seems to be
watered and infused with chalk. The
cream that belongs to the customer is
resold to him afterward by the grocer
who gets it put up in bottles. Inspector
Myhre is eager to compel the diaries
to deliver pure milk with all it's proper
constituents, and will follow up such
clues as consumers may give him. But
without that help he cannot, owing to
the care of the milkmen when dealing
with anyone whom they suspect to be
an employee of the Board of Health,
bring enough culprits to justice to
make a lettering example.

FOR PURE FOOD.

While local health authorities may
do much to stop the sale of adulterated
food products, and should strain every
nerve in that direction, there is need,
before a complete reform can be ex-
pected, of a national pure food law.
The extent to which adulteration has
gone is alarming. A table has lately
been issued by the agricultural expert
ment stations of Kentucky which
shows at glance that there is dan
ger in the commonest articles of food.
This table, which we find in bulle-
tin of the United States Department
of Agriculture, is as follows:
Kind and number of samples collect
ed from June 13,. 1898, to December 81,
1899:

The health officials of Hongkong in
sist on whitewashing all native shacks
in the suburbs of the city twice a
year so as to make sure that the habi-
tations will be reasonably clean in the
event of an outbreak of the plague.
In discussing this policy the Hong
kong Press does not assume that
whitewashing is a preventive of the
plague; indeed, it doubts that any
form of disinfection will answer such
a purpose. The abundant use of lime
on the walls, however, is good against
malaria. while cleanliness, such as
whitewashing implies, is a thing to
be looked after wherever Asiatics OF
squalid populations of any race may
congregate.

Total

This shows that forty per cent of all
samples of food taken were adulterat-
ed-some of them, as the bulletin goes
on to show, with substances Injurious
to health, and others with substances
merely intended to cheaper. The in
spectors found salicylic acid, some
times In large quantities, in tomato
catsup, preserves and other food prod
ucts which were sold as pure, and
formaldehyde and other preservatiyes
in milk. which. perhaps, in some cases,
were fed to infants. Essence of pep
Fpermint and essence of cinnamon were
found to contain wood alcohol, a pois-
onous substance. In the preparation
of these essences a mixture of wood
alcohol and common alcohol was used
In place Of common alcohol, presuma-
bly, to avoid the Government tax on
alcohol.
While uniform State and Territorial
laws rigidly enforced would, perhaps
do away with the bogus food abuse,
the simpler remedy would be a ma
tional enactment against the manu-
facture and sale of food articles not
up to a certain standard. BY this
means pulls" which now prevent
prosecution of the offenders
against local laws, might be avoided,
and the whole bogus trade conspiracy
throttled.

T. Cowen, who represented the Lon
don Times in the China-Japanese war
of 1S94-5, is about to start a paper in
Picking, to be published in seven Ian
guages. Up to few months ago MIR.
Cowen was editor of the Manila Times,
and before that was foreign editor of
the Japan Times. His new venture
will be called the China Times. As
Cowen is a journalist who knows his
field as few Europeans of his age have
ever known it, the prospects of his
new paper may be considered fair,
though the disturbed condition of Pc
king does not altogether warrant the
opinion that the China Times has
come to stay.

(D That mosquito nets should be

The variety OF moaquitoi named is
numerous in Hawaii and may be to
blame for much of the malarial sick
ness which occurs here Of course, sc
long as taro and rice are staple arti-
cles of food, and mullet ponds abound
it would be difficult for Honolulu to
take the measures of defence against
the pond mosquito which the Hong
kong authorities suggest But one
thing can be done, largely by means
of rapid transit, and that is to build
the future residence districts of Ho'

up hill would be one of the most eff.
fective measures possible to preserve
the public health from malarial poi
