BOARD OF HEALTH TABLES PRO
POSITION - WARNING AGAINST
A milk PURIFIER"

The Board of Health yesterday after
noon tabled the proposal to close the
cemeteries in Honolulu, as a result of
an earnest protest against such action
The invitation by the board to the pub
lie to appear at it's meeting and give
expression of opinion was accepted by
a large crowd, and sentiment appeared
to be unanimously against the plan.
After the report of City Sanitary officer
Tracey had been read there was gem
eral discussion, ending with the adop-
ton of a motion to table the report.
The matter may be brought up in the
Legislature
In his report to the Board, Food Com
missioner Shorey gave a warning
against the use of a milk purifier" re-
garding which a number of circulars
have been received locally from San
Francisco DIR. Shorey says "One
sample which came into my hands
found to be a mixture of glucose, COM
mon salt, and carbonate of soda. The
claims made for the compound are that
lit preserves the milk, improves the taste
and most important of all enables the
volume of the milk to be doubled at the
cost of two cents per gallon. The
carbonate of soda would preserve the
milk for a short time, but it is easily
seen on reading the circulars that the
compound is intended to be used chief
ly to give body to the milk after the
addition of water. The sample eX-
amined contained no fat as claimed in
the circular. The use of such a COM
pound to cover up the addition of wa
ter is in violation of the present food
law, and there should be no trouble in
convicting any one so using it,"
Bids for supplies for the Insane Asy-
lum and the Leper Settlement were
considered, and contracts for the next
period were awarded to the following:

NO SCHEME
FOR EXTRA REST
OAHU POLO PONIES NOT GIVES
THE BEST OF IT-INDIVIDUAL
CUPS TO BE PRESENTED.

The individual cups presented by B.
F. Dillingham; for the members of the
victorious Oahu polo team will be pre-
sented at a final meeting of the polo
club to be held at the Elks' Hall on
Tuesday evening next when the sea-
sons polo will be brought to an end
with a statement of affairs.
There is a universal disbelief on the
part of Oahu polo players to credit the
Maui team with having made the
statement inserted in the Maui News
that Oahu Unanswered the schedule of
games so as to give Maui ponies no OPP
portunity to rest up for the final match.
The Maui team left on the most friend
ly terms with the oahu men and it is
supposed that a Maui rooter, not one of
the players, who lost more than he
could conveniently afford, must have
made the statement to the editor of the
News.
AS a matter of fact the difference in
resting time between the ponies of
Maui and Oahu was not more than two
hours at the outside. Both teams play
ed on Tuesday, Oahu starting at one
fOrty-five with Hilo and Maui in their
match against Kauai at $3.50. Neither
team played again until Saturday so
that, in the face of the fact that Maui
had more ponies than Oahu, the charge
of attempting to get two hours rest the
best of it during a mutual -four days in
teTval seems somewhat invalid and call

FIJI LAND QUESTION.
Complaint That Land Laws Need
Remodelling.

The Western Pacific Herald says of
the Fijian land question:
If Fiji is ever to become permanently
prosperous. it is absolutely necessary
that inducements shall be held out to
attract the small settler to these shores.
Without the white planter we cannot
expect to advance with the times.
In the New Hebrides every facility is
afforded for obtaining land at a very
low rental on long lease, and on terms
far more favorable to the lessee than
obtain in this colony. OF course in the
New Hebrides the land which is being
thrown open is owned by Europeans,
whereas in Fiji practically the whole of
the land is the property of the Fijians,
who are by ordinance prohibited from
selling the freehold, and can only lease
with the sanction of the Government.
1t is certainly true that the condi-
lions have improved of late years, and
that the authorities seem anxious to
come to terms with the intending lessee
but the native owner still has an exalt-
ed opinion of the annual value" of his
holding and the rental to be paid by the
small settler is considerably in advance
of that of the New Hebrides. a large
number of settlers from Sydney have
taken up land in that Group, and had
similar advantages been held out to
them we believe they would have been
equally willing to come to Fiji instead.
They all have a certain amount of
capital. and there is TO doubt that these
We're the class of men we want here.
