More Vigilance Wanted


1t is a strange thing that with its
army of inspectors end employees
the Board OF Health cannot despatch
q man promptly when notified Of
dead rats. We are informed that a
lady telephoned the health office
and gave. information thati lhere
were FIVE dead'rats ON ber premises
The Office answered back that a man
would be sent up at once. This is q
few days ago and the man has not
appeared yet. Late 10 the afternoon
one Of the servants burned the rats.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-08-26

The point is this; There is now an
extraordinary mortality among rats.
What the public wants to know is
the cause Every dead rat found
should be submitted TO the bacteri.
ologists until such time as the n a
turs of the epidemic is fully de
termined. What We wait is that the
Board OF Health exercise the erest-
est vigilance in this matter.

Cider In EnuIand.

From the New York Commercial.
 Every summer that arrives brings with 1t fashionable beverage in England, though how the fad Is started-no one ever knows. One summer every one was drinking barleywater and extolling It's merits; this year cider is the smart drink and much discussion is rife concerning It's climax of excellence. and whether it should be spelled cider or cyder.
 It Is a most refreshing and healthy bev- craze, according to some connoisseurs taken neat others extol 1t in the form of cup, and a third faction enjoy it diluted with sodawater, but without ice, which is said to cloak its zest and destroy the snap of the apples In one form or an- other It is everywhere in evidence in Lon- don-at the restaurants, in the clubs, and even at big dinner parties, a fact upon which cider makers are congratulating themselves excessively.
 A beverage that improves the comnlex- ion and brightens the eyes is certin to be favorte one among women. and cider is said to perform both salutary offices. It is not fattening in its influence. A fact that endears 1t 10 those who live in fer TOT of adding to their avoirdunois ana 1t suits rheumatic persons. Altopether 1t looks as if 1t would take lis nroner ,,I.oa as national beverage. until some new fad rises to usurp its place.

MIR. BEN M. JACOBS
HAS RETURNED FROM ATTEND ING THE GRAND RAPIDS FURNi- TURF EXPOSITION.

Ben M. Jacobs S Bros. secure their main advantage by their methodieal and skilful buying. Years of experience with the manufactures, jobbers and wholesalers has given this firm the advantage over othes purchasing agents. It is not com monplace matter to make selections for thousands of customers and to know just what they want. MT. Jacobs has made complete study of the buying question un- til he he's not only eradcated all of the experimental stage of the buyers art, but has supplanted it with good, keen. honest and proper judgment
 One of the very first things in the buy ing line that was discarded by this firm was the buying from jobhers and whole salers. The general public has no idea of what difference it means to them-the buying from the jobber and the manu- facturer 1t just gives the merchant the leeway of saving his customers the money he saves on the purchase. It has been the policy of this firm to buy from the largest and most responsible manufac- turers in the country. This insures proper styles, durability and low prices. Semi-an- nually MT. Jacbs goes to the Grand Rapids, Mich furniture convention, to attend the gathering of the largest manu- facturers in the country. Here is where this store gets its fine furniture The high standing of Ben M. Jacobs Bros. in the business world and the enormous purchases they make secure for them the same privileges that are accorded the wholesaler and jobber. By securing fur niture in such large quantities the firm saves thousands of dollars and gets the opportunity of selling nearly one-thrd less than others. The seni-annual ship ments are by no means the only goods that this firm receives. but almost daily you can see the wagons carting carload after carload of goods to this establish ment.

Fish Diet.
pm the Boston Globe,

From the Boston Globe,
 Fish is excellent food either In sum- mer or winter. But the notion that 1t specially makes brain" or is particu- larly a nerve food" is erroneous.
 It Is true that it contains phosphorus. But 1t does not contain 1t in free state. The notion that fish contains excessive phosphorus had no doubt its origin in the glowing phosphorescence of fish in the dark. This phosphorescence is due not to phosphorus at all, but to micro organ isms.
 But fish offers the best of diet and cannot be too highly recommended both on account of it's constituents and its digestibility N
