tha, The cheerful CRATER is looming up in the front
fact. Judge Robinson ordered the Grand Jury to
investigate the vouchers of the Hawaiian second
territorial legislature and the printing account dis
closes the energy of the CRATER.
The law provides that all legislative business,
shall he in the English language but the Grand
Jury reports for printing in Hawaiian bill of s4.
'64 and printing in English. $3310: for translation
the bill is Sl2l7- Therefore the printing and
lation in Hawaii are contrary to the law Nearly
$4,000 was illegally expended.
The Grand Jury found that the total printing bill
of this session was S13.!iS: and that il was moi e
than forble the proper amount For instance. there
were bills for comparing and revising in connection,
with the proofreading, which should have heen in
cluded in the proofreadng bill. The printers
charged s1.'o page and the Grand Jury thought
this should have included the proofreadn. at least.
to say nothing of the comparing aud revising The
total of these three bills amounted nearly 50 600

CURE FOR APPENDICITIS.

The rapid increase in appendicitis cases makes
important an announcement by Doctor Iautenborn
of Norristown, n. j.. who states that walking is 4
preventive OF the dread malady. 1t is explained
that if the entrance to the vermiform appendix is
not kept tightly closed small portions of waste food
find way into it. and there Is no exit it cannot
he forced out, necessitating dangerous operation
for its removal.
Doctor Lautenborn says that when man lis
doing considerable walking there is no danger of
appendicitis for the reason that the abdominal and
intestinal muscles kept continually active and
SO in good working order The.jolting given to IL
mans interior economy when he walks causes the
muscles of the abdomen and the intestines to con-
tinually contract to Offset the jar of his STEP
There would seem TO be much in this theory it.
indeed. it is not the correct 1t has long been
a common remark that "only the rich can afford
appendicitis" and perhaps this statement by the

SIGNS OF THE SEASON.


Mayor Wells has asked the Civic Improvement
League to exercise it's influence and persuade house
holders to cooperate with the Street. Health and
Police departments in getting the whole city cleaned
Streets alleys sidewalks, yards. houses and
lots. The Mayor will issue semoffical request to
the public and an official request to The municipal
departments. az he did last year. that the work lac
started certain day and be entirely finished
within a stipulated period.
The city is prepared to keep the streets and all
public places clean throughout the year Funds
will be set aside for this purpose. The Health De
partment will make greater efforts to suppress aMd
correct nuisances and unsanitary conditions. The
members Of the police force and the inspect
0rs are instructed to be strict in preventing infra
uons OF the law concerning cleanliness
The Board Of Public improvements has decided
that street surfaces cannot lie disturbed during ,c
progress Of the Worlds Fair unless the pavement
can be restored before sunrise. Underground work
must be done at night, and the streets he in
condition for traffic the next morning. Sidewalk
instructions will be prohibited
What will househOlders and citizens do to get the
city clean and keep it clean: 1t is important that
visitors should be well impressed with ST. Louis.
As st. Louis is now of the best paved cities il
is comparatively easy to make favorable impress
sion 1t can be accomplished by keeping everything
and premises and vacant lots
Householders should help the city. They should
clean their houses and yards. Property Owners
should help the city. There should be a general
cleaning this spring. Mayor Wells and the Civic
Improvement League advise. In this connection it
is quite appropriate to quote significant paragraph
from the leagues second annual report.
Under the heading Vacant Lots the following
appears: Sometimes the league meets opposition
One well-known and wealthy citizen. in response 10
request Of the secretary in respect TO his lot said
that he did not require the advice of the league rs
to the uses to which he should put his property
But such occasions rare and serve merely 10
mark the exceptional man whose purse grows in
versely to his public interest
In regard to cleaning the whole city and keeping
1t clean let not small private considerations grow
fnversey to public interests. ST. Louis is even now
cleaner than most large cities. Why not have the
cleanest city?
