to TEEN with life are behind the stores, and
here scores Of children, with the inevitable
lazy Japs taking days off, with cigarettes
in their mouths. sit half dressed and dream
the hours away. Japanese on plantations
have been known to cut their own feet
with cane knives in order to enjoy the nee
essary vacation that must result so that
the life of non-industry these coolies live
when they have graduated into the easy
station of a keeper of a store, however
small and dirty, may be imagined. The
plantations may raise wages as they please
in their efforts to get enough workmen to
harvest their crops, but once let the Japan
ese or Chinese get foothold in some store
and he will live on nothing and make it
pay in the end.
In the outside districts the conditions are
the same. Along every country road one
encounters the Chinese or Japanese store,
never the white or native Hawaiian estab
lishment. In out-of-the-way places where
no one would believe that store could live,

Amendments Proposed to Bill Regulat-
ing sale1 Viruses, &c.


The amendments which the Medical So
ciety of the District Of Columbia have pre-
pared to the pending bill regulating the
sale of viruses, seruuis, toxins and anal
ogous products, were eTansmtted to Chair
man Babcock of the House committee on
the District of Columbia today by Thomas
c. Smith, MD, corresponding secretary CT
that society.
The report treats the subject in a very
interesting manner and closes as follows:
The only feasible method Of insuring the
purity and strength of viruses, serums, tnx-
ms and analogous products known to your
committee is that which this bill seeks to
establish, viz, the regulation and supervis-
ion by the federal government of all estab-
lfshments engaged in the propagation and
sale of such products. so far as such es-
taNlishments are within its Jurisdiction.
1t seems, however, more in keeping with
the spirit Of American institutions to sepa-
rate the legislative and the executive func-
tions. which will be called into existence by
the passage of this bill. and. in the promul-
CATION of the proposed regulations, to, ex-
clude the personal element as far as pos

white prosperity of the conditions these fig
ures show one must visit Honolulu or some
other of the larger settlements In the Is
lands. On every hand there is the small
Chinese or Japanese store, where groceries,
or clothing tobacco, soda water. etc, are
sold at cheap rates. In the rear sits lazy
Jap or Chinese whose fare to Hawaii from
the orient was paid that he might fill IL con-
tract as a plantation laborer. II he Is

want and perchance leave Ii few cents
day to be put by for the day when he takes
his savings back to the far east. If he Is a
jap possibly he has a wife who helps as
domestic or assists his earnings by some
thing else. In Honolulu there are whole
blocks of these stores. and they are pa
tronized by both whites and natives. They
are scattered throughout the residence dis
tricts even. There is such thing as
small grocer with a white skin in Homo
lulu; no such thing as small meat market
with a white man behind the counter, nor
is there a haberdashery or clothing store
kept by whites, except the few large and
successful ones which have their trade and
keep it, holding the business of those who
do not care to go to the Asiatic even at
cheaper prices.
