HEALTHFUL
CONDITIONS
The February Reports
Of Physicians Are
Favorable.

Notwithstanding the storms prevail
ing in February, with an unusually
heavy rainfall, the reports of twenty
four Government physicians upon the
public health for that month are almost
uniformly good. With one exception
the worst is fair" while most of the
doctors use adjectives to show how well
the people were.
DR.. John Atcherley, stationed in
South Kohala, is the solitary complain
er This is peculiarly strange, since
former reports from that district have
treated inquiries about the health of
residents almost as joke. DR.. Atcher-
ley reports the general health of his
district last month as poor. There were
good many cases of respiratory
catarrh. A northwest wind had been
blowing for some weeks, which is popu-
larly supposed to be injurious to health
in Waimea. There were a few cases
each of dengue and the "old malarial
fever
DR.. F. L. Putnam, Kealia and Hama
lei, Kauai reports Lucrative tonsilitis
as having been prevalent.
South Hilo's general condition is re-
ported by DR.. c. l.. Stow to have been
fair, and the worst thing was mild in
fluenza with fifteen cases.
DR.. w. f. McConkey, Makawao, had
group of old-fashioned maladies to
handle in fifteen cases of whooping
cough, five of mumps and six of chick
en-poX.
Whooping cough is reported as prev
alent in Waialua by DR.. Hubert Wood.
This is the only doctor. out of twen-
ty-three answering the question in that
regard, who says tuberculosis is in
creasing in his district.
DR.. C. A. Davis, Eva, says the rain
disorganized the sanitary conditions of
the district somewhat, yet the health
of the people is fine.
Scattered among about half of the
districts of the Territory there had been
thirty-four cases of typhoid fever, of
which DR.. F. Irwin reported ten in
North Hilo.
DR.. r. II. Dinegar, Kihei and Kula,
Maui, sounds a warning against the in
PRODUCTION of ophthalmic disease.
Ophthalmia is reported by him as hav-
ing been unusually prevalent, appear
ing among newly arrived Japanese and
Koreans. The outbreak had been
brought under control by quarantine
and was diminishing rapidly. DR.. Dine
gar writes Il think strict surveillance
should be kept over recently landed
Japanese and Koreans for ophthalmic
disease"

A FINAL EFFORT TO
RAISE FUNDS FOR FAIR

terested in success, and upon whom
the committee must rely for funds.
DELAY A VETO.
"The question is now up to the peo-
ple," said Commissioner Macfarlane
yesterday. 81 have worked hard; first
to secure the use of the appropriation
made by the last legislature, and after
that was found to be unavailable, to
arouse sentiment among the business
men, l have felt keenly the position
in which l was placed, having gone
ahead with arrangements and all of
these having finally come to nothing
The meeting enabled me to show to the
merchants of the community what
had done; that I had gone to tie ut
most lengths possible, and that the
failure up to this time was not due to
any lack of effort on my part.
THE plan we have adopted is one
which should show us at once lust
where we stand If the people are of
one mind with the business men who
gathered at the Friday meeting, and
if the men who We're there can trans
late their enthusiasm into cash, then
we can go ahead and the project will
be successful. If not the sooner we
know it the better. There are scores of
people who have been requested to con-
tribute; the sums asked are small and
if the people send them in to us we will
be able to go ahead If not we will
abandon the idea altogether. The men
who respond to our letters tomorrow

TO REMEMBER

Sleep nine hours.
Rest after luncheon.
Don't battle when very tired
Don't battle soon after eating.
If thin, massage the face gently.
If too plump, a firm pressure is
better.
Use some good cold cream with the
massage.
A thorough cleansing should precede
message.
Gentle, thorough hair brushing
should be INDUCED in twice a day
If hair brushes be cleansed daily
and the scalp massaged the hair and
head will keep clean much longer.
If in addition to scalp massage we
give our hair a soft rubbing with the
palms of our hands it will be much
more silky.
The eating of fruit which is neither
green nor over-ripe, combined with
the drinking of plenty Of pure water,
is a great thing for anybody,
After disagraeable tasks the hands
will not suffer if thoroughly cleansed
with acids if necessary, and then
treated to cold cream and soft gloves,
Regularity in the taking of whole
some meals would do much toward
identifying some persons who never
have time to conduct their affairs

FASHIONS IN BEAUTY.

Is the type of beauty changing! IS
delicacy of feature old-fashioned? And
is it gradually becoming modish to
have rather thick features, com
plexion so fat as to approach the
very reverse of tae joy Of life? Is
dulness like a canker eating into our
very tastes and affecting our appre-
hension of the beautiful?
ask you all these questions because
of visit l paid not long ago to the
studio of a fashionable protrait-palnt-
err A few faces there were OF the mig
non type, sweet in expression and neat
of nose. But all the most admired OF
modern women were very different
indeed There was a lady Of the lyric
stage whose features can be described
only by the word fiat. She is Paris
celebrity, but enchanCs music-hall Lon
don now and then with her particular
form Of art. There is no denying her
charm. The difficulty lies in analyz-
ing it. What kind of soul looks out
from those apparently almost lifeless
eyes? The stolidity of expression is
almost inconceivable. The lips are
like those of the women of ancient
Egypt, large, thick, and yet with some
vague, if sensuous, charm about them.
The chin is solid, firm and masculine.
One can imagine men obeying the
owner Of that chin. One could never
picture her obeying any one. A smile
Z IoO
But it is not easy to imagine it cury-
ing into a smile.
Is this the coming type? It almost
seems so. Such a woman as she whom
I have been trying to sketch would
never trouble herself to ask ''Why?"
about anything and her answer ! to
every question would be Because, a
sufficient reason to any one wno I'M
derstoOd her.-London Truth.

is a simple remedy One finger is
passed through the paper-that is all!

REST FOR WEARY MOTHERS.

As the health of a nursing infant
depends largely upon the health Of
the mother, it is very essential, as
has been stated before, that no great
strain, physical or mental, should be
put upon her, and that she should
have certain amount of rest and
mental diversion. To this end it is
advisable, as early as possible, which
means as soon as the baby is we'll
started and gaining in weight, to give
one bottle feeding of diluted cows
milk once in twenty-four hours. 1t is
usually safe to commence this feeding
at the end of month, and it is best
to give the milk quite diluted for the
first two or three days, say, one part
of milk to four parts of water, until
the stomach becomes accustomed to
the change of food-Harper's Bazaar.

COMPLEXION AND INSANITY.
Fewer Blondes Than 5runettes in
State Insane Asylums.

Several months ago l happened
across a pamphlet published by the
government of southern state in
which were some interesting statistics
regarding the complexion of the in
mates of the State Insane asylum"
Mr. Hobart Langdon said only 3
percent of the total had. light hair
and only 2 percent blue eyes.
1T struck me as a rather curious
fact that dark haired and dark eyed
people should so largely predominant
among the insane, but the matter OF
latitude might play some part in this,
thought; for naturally there were
more dark than light haired people in
that section. Just as matter of
curiosity, however, | thought would
write to asylum authorities in certain
other parts of the country to see what
the ratio of light haired inmates was
to those who were dark, and expected
to find the percentage increase In
communities where the total of light
haired was larger, but in this | was
mistaken; SO l am led to infer from
the statistics | gathered that there is
a greater possibility for insanity
among dark haired than among light
haired people.
"My figures were obtained from G8
asylums, located in nearly every state
in the Union, and few in Canada
and England. The total number of
patients in these institutions was 49,
512, of whom 703 had light hair and
only GG red or auburn locks. In other
words, 96 percent of the inmates were
brunettes, with either black or brown
hair, the latter in varying shades In
one asylum in New England there was
not a single inmate that was not q
brunette. Of course, l do not know
how to account for this, for | am not
specialist in such matters and only
secured the statistics out of pure curl
osity but it certainly looks as though
blondes were less liable to insanity
than those with darker hair or eyes.
Another peculiar feature about the
facts | obtained, however, was that
the percentage of those regarded as
incurably insane was much greater
among the blondes than among the
brunettes. The totals show that among
the dark haired inmates only 53 per-
cent were marked hopelessly insane,
while among the blondes 81 percent
were put in this category, and that
only three among the red haired pa
tients escaped the same classified
ton. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

GIRLS OF NEW ORLEANS.

Poets and lovers of New Orleans will
tell you that the girl Of the Southern
city gets her pale, creamy complexion
from the magno,ias that bloom in such
profusion; her grace and Ianguid ease
of motion from the thousands of way
ing palms; the dusk Of her eyes and
hair from the wondrous tropical beau
ty of the Southern nights; her voice
from the whispering of the zephyrs
and the changeful song of the mock
ing bird. Much of her health, says a
writer in the National Magazine, is
undoubtedly owing to the fruit she
eats; oranges like globes of greenish
or russet gold into whose favor has
entered the perfume Of the most de-
licious flowers in the fruit world, figs
which are flowers, purple without, rosy
within, watermelon" whose cool col
ors are as refreshing on a summer
day as the draught that comes from
its crimson heart.

Administering Ether.

The most common mistake made by
beginners in the administration of
ether is that of forgetting to lessen the
proportion Of the substance when full
anaethcsia is established-that is, con
tinuing to make their patients respire
an atmosphere as highly charged with
its vapors as when getting them under
its influence. 1t is matter of sur
prise to physicians how very little
ether will often suffice to keep a pa
tient well under the influence toward
the close Of an operation, and this
small quantity will always postpone
vomiting until the operation is com,

TELLTALE GRAINS OF RICE.


Here is a lesson that all persons
who make Npretensions should take to.
heart A woman who was invited to a
fashionable wedding did not think her
two spring hats quite good enough to
cope with the Paris creations that
would prevail So the undaunted wo-
man called at a milliner's and selected
a costly affair Of lace, which she had
charged to her account Of course her
idea was to wear it to the wedding and
returned it the next day. Her hat
was vastly admired. She glibly said it
cost a mere $50" and enjoyed the ef-
feet the price produced on her friends.
Unfortunately she got in the way of
the shower of rice that was hurled at
the happy couple. The next day she
returned the "hat-on-credit" The day
following she was asked to call on the
milliner, and was confronted with the
question. Didn't you wear this I'M
satisfactory hat at wedding yester-
day." The unhappy woman denied it,
but finally broke down. How did
you know" she gasped. "Well," the
milliner replied, Eve found several
grains of rice in the folds of lace. -
