Very young cattle have the power
to withstand the disease without any
dangerous results, and cattle owners
can bring calves under four months
old to their tick infested farms with
practically no danger, provided these
calves become infested at once With
ticks. Though | always advise the

to be introduced on a farm infested
with ticks. This incubation can be
practiced successfully only with cattle
that are under two years old, though

suits, cattle much older.
The traffic in cattle is very import
ant to the cattle owners of the State.
If he has a tick-free farm, no animal
that is infected can be permitted TO
enter those premises without very
much endangering the lives OF the cat

And the life Of an animal that has
never carried ticks is equally cndan-
gered when 1t Is brought to farm

these facts in mind as the time is near

It has been suggested to the Adver-
tiser that the Honolulu Gas Co. should
lay its mains in the streets intended
soon to be macadamized before that
work is done. Otherwise, it will be the
old, story of ripping up thousands Of
dollars worth of road work done at
the public expense. Even if the COM
pany undertook to leave the streets as
good as it found them. there would
still be a waste of money and the
public sure to be the loser in the long
run. Besides, undertakings of this
kind are seldom enforced against hold
-ers of pubic franchises and contract
ors. The construction of the first sec
ton of the sewer system transformed
miles of newly macadamized streets
into rough and Doggy stretches, some

AS TO OCEAN FARES.

The Oceanic Company knows it's own
business best and may have good rea-
son to think that it pays better to run
the Alameda with a few cabin passen-
gers at $135 for the round trip than it
does to send that vessel out with many
passengers at $50 or 500. Nevertheless
the big Atlantic lines adopt the other
policy. If man chooses to take
small or slow steamer across the At
lantic he can get first cabin passage as
low as s45; but if his choice is a grey
hound he pays much more. Here the
small and the great steamers are
class and it costs just as much to
ride on the Alameda as it does on the
Ventura, the Korea or the Manchuria.
Naturally the Alameda gets left. If
there is nothing to be gained in passage
money by taking the Alameda why
should anybody prefer it to a newer
steamer of three or four times it's size,
more stability and greater comforts?
If the Oceanic line could see its way
clear to cut the Alameda rate the city
would be gratified in more ways than
one; pleased at the chance to avail st
self of lower fares and at the incentive
thus given to the tourist trade. To
the lay mind it looks as If the Alameda
could be kept very busy indeed as a
cutrate ferry boat

The SIMPLE LIFE.

1T is a good sign that Pastor Wag-
ner,s little book, THE Simple Life
should have taken the country by
storm. It is many years, perhaps as
long ago as the advent Of Uncle Tom
Cabin" that any BOOK has sold 50 well
in the United states. The cartoon in
the Sunday Advertiser showing the
street hawker offering The Simple
Life" to sluggish yoluptuary, was
not out of the way, for the work is sold
at the curb ali over New York and
other cities. is to be found on the rail-
way cars and in the news stands and in
tens Of thousands of offices and homes
surely there must be some latent I'M
pulse or emotion. some deep seated in
stfnct which the book draws out, or 1t
would not sell so well. There is moth
ing strenuous or exciting about it; no
plot, no glitter, nothing morbid; just
a manly and simple appeal for return
to that life which made our. fathers and
mothers strong when full of years, and
accumulated the great inheritance OF
health which so many of US are spend
ing rashly as we go along. The multi
fudes that hasten to read THE Sim
pie Life" save those who merely do so
from curiosity, must feel the need of it
or they would let it alone. And we re-
peat that this is a good sign.
The world is beginning to see that
the conquering races are those whose
lives are least corrupted by luxury: and
that the same is true of the conquering
men. The simple days of Rome were
its great days; the simple days of the
AngIo-Saxon race, whether in the old
world or the new, were its noblest ones.
And if there is anything in the Yellow
Peril 1t is due to the fact that the Ash
attic races are living in simple houses,
wearing simple clothes, eating plain
food and having few wants. The ma
fion which is shaking the world today /,
with the tread of its armies and the
thunder of its broadsides is made up
of rice and fish eaters, of hard, out-of-
door laborers, of athletes; people like
the Moors. who conquered Spain with
no other rations than handful OF
dates Woe to the race, whatever its
past glories may be, which rises from
the banquet board or the silken couch
to cross swords with these men of ma
ture 1t will go down before them as
the slothful Romans did before the
fierce invading Huns.
If Pastor Wagner can induce our
countrymen to return to the plain liv-
ing and high thinking of the early New
England days he will deserve well of
the republic Things that sap the
strength of America are the vastness of
its riches and the diffusion of its ener-
waiting comforts. "As wealth accumu- j
Iates. men decay" Back to the simple
life is a course that would have saved
Babylon and Tyre. Rome and Greece. !
and all the splendid imperial states
that rose in goatskins and died in pur--
pie.

The guns of the New Orleans were the
best of their class that the United
States had in the Spanish war. They
came with the ship from England and
their range and accuracy surprised the
American naval officers and led tc
some revision of our own naval arma-
ment. Landed at Guam and Midway
these guns should make sufficient de-
fence of the cable stations for ordinary
purposes.
