MUST GET RID
OF CHINATOWN
THERE IS A GROWING SENTI-
MENT AGAINST 1T IN SAN
FRANCISCO.

No matter what view may be enter
tanned by a vast majority of the people
of San Francisco respecting the non
existence OF the highly infectious dis
case known as bubonic plague, they
will unite with the merchantile joint
committee in the movement to get rid
of the Chinese quarter It has long
since been recognized by those who
have kept track of the assaults on the
sanitary reputation of the city that
nothing short of the removal of China
town will disarm outside criticism.
There is an impression not borne out by
the facts, however, that Chinatown is in
an extremely insanitary condition, and
IL will constantly be drawn upon by
those who seek support for their efforts
to cripple the commerce of the city by
establishing a quarantine against it.
There is no use blinking at the situa-
ton. The people of San Francisco
might as well stare it squarely in the
face. If they do not get rid of China
town nuisance they will be called upon
to pay an endless bill of expenses. It's
existence will form an excuse for
never-ending demand for appropria-
tons. No regard will be paid to the
evidence which the mortality records
furnish. Chinatown may continue in
the future, as it has in the past, to be
as absolutely free from epidemics and
infectious diseases as any other part OF
the city, but that will not help the
trouble. bad name has been fasten-
ed upon the quarter from which moth
ing will free it but obliteration.
q ha| Mo
OF dealing with the matter than con-
verting the locality on which China
town stands into a park may present
itself when the matter is fully con-
sjdered. 1t is a section OF the city that
may be made valuable for commercial
purposes, and some method of utilizing
it may be found which will not be so
costly as It would be to carry out the
parking project. But something must
be done TO get rid of the narrow streets
dilapidated houses, and generally dis
reputable quarter or We shall never
have peace.-San Francisco Chronicle

ly would not have rejected a. Dr.
Hutchinson's general conclusion is that
the facts do not controvcrt the
hypotheis, while some Of them AFFORD
unassailable support Of IT, the truth ~
which his inquiries I'm South Africa last
year convinced him.
Or. Hutchinsons tour OF India in
cluded visits to Colombo. Madras. La
hore, Calcutta and Bombay, where he
held public meetings and discussions,
and also visits TO the leper asylums at
Colombo, Madras, Calcutta, Purua,
Azonsal Agra, Tarntaran, Jullundur
and Bombay.
He visited in Ceylon an the lepers
who had been fish eaters In Madras
and Calcutta each of the lepers. with
the single exception of a high-c class
Brahmin, denied that they had ever
eaten fish. In Bombay. there was one
doubtful exception. In Agra Tarnta-
ran and Jullundur there were several
exceptions. OF the 500 inmates of the
purula asylum, all had habitually eaten
of fish, and many believed that this
had caused the disease. Some had
left off eating it on that account. The
majority Of those who had not eaten
fish were patients who had contracted
the disease in early life.
In accounting for these, DR.. Hutchin-
son suggests "commensal communion
ton" spreads the disease to a slight ex-
tent in a community where it has once
originated, without 1t becoming conta-
gious in the ordinary sense of the word.

directly from the hands of leper, or
otherwise received the bacillus by the
mouth.
The prevalence of the disease in the
whole population of India is not greater
than five in 10000, which is about the
same percentage as in Norway, but
not single district is entirely free
from the disease. 1t is always more
prevalent in or near the fishing places.
In Ceylon, where the fisheries are so
unproductive that the greater portion
of the fish consumed must be imported,
the incidence of leprosy is less than
two per 10000. In Minicoy, the ad-
| jacent fish-exporting island, where the
Inhabitants eat fish four times a day,
y the percentage is $50 in 10000 In the
Bombay asylum there. are 400 inmates,
| the majority of whom are from the
! great fishing district of Konkan. Dur
| ing eight years there have been no
jams, and only one Parsee patient.
! The jams are strict vegetarians., Dur
ing the same period the Island of Sal
settle, which has a population of &c.
OO0 was the only Christian community
which sent patients to the asylum. The
! Salsetters are all Roman Catholics who
observe all fast days and the ajority
of them are actively engaged in the

A FOOLISH OLD IDEA.

II was once thought that .
medicine was all the more bene-
fetal for having a nasty taste and
smell. We now know that such
an idea is perfect nonsense.
There is no more reason why
medicine should offend the sen
ses than why food should do so.
Therefore, one of the greatest
chemical victories of the past
few years is what we may call
the redemption of cod liver oil.
Everybody knows what a vile
taste and smell this drug has
in its natural state. No wonder
most people declare they would
rather suffer from disease than
take cod liver oil, and the emul-
sions are quite as foul and abom-
Unable as the plain oil, no matter
what may be alleged 10 the con-
trary. Now it is one of natures
laws that a medicine which dis
gusts the nose and the palate,
and also sickens the stomach, can
have no good effect as a medi-
cine, because the system cries
out to be delivered from at. In
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the desired miracle is wrought,
and we have the valuable part of
the oil, without the other. This
effective modern remedy is pala-
table as honey and contains the
nutritive and curative properties
of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by us from fresh cod rivers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites and the Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
The palate accepts it as it does
sugar, confectionery or cream.
Taken before meals it goes to the
very secret stronghold of diges~
tive disorders: prevents and cures
Nervous Dyspepsia, Scrofula.
Throat and Lung Troubles and
all diseases due to impurity of
the blood. DR.. G.. @. Shannon, of
Canada, says: al shall continue
it's use with, / am sure, great ad-
vantage to my patients and salts
faction to myself" Has all the
virtues of cod liver oil; none of
its faults. Effective from the
Rrst dose. Sold by al chemists

Jonathan Hutchinson, F. r. S. has
