TROPICAL llpNESS
IS INFECTIOUS

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Some ex
traordinary statements are made in re
ports of the extent of anemia in Porte
Rico. The subject has been discussed
in all local insular legislatures, but il
seems no one has had the slightest idea
of ravages of this disease until an Off
cIal commission made an examina ton
of conditions in the island, conducted
a clinic and formulated it's report The
whole subject will be referred to Con-
gress, with a request for large APP
preparation for the purpose of stamp
ing out disease in the island
| In it's official report, the Medical Com
mission appointed by Governor Hunt
and continued by Governor Winthrop
says
| Until general and intelligent cru
| SADIE is begun, anemia will continue to
reduce the white and mixed inha bitants
forming the country class of the is
land to lower and lower grade men
tally morally and physically until the
existence of this class will be threat
ened
In summing up the situation in Por-
to Rico, the Medical Commission finds
officially that about 80 per cent of the
rural population in all parts of the
island are affected by this anemia and
it is evident that SO large a number
of sufferers must affect the social ana
economic status Of the country to
large degree. The affection is durable
in a great majority of cases and GER
tainly is subject to restriction by the
observance of elementary hygienic
laws and the treatment and care of
those already affected. The course Of |
disease is marked by profound ane-
mia and degeneration of the vital or !
gaQs, leading to chronic invalidism, |
which often results in death.
The report shows the existence of |
an infectious disease which is trans |
mitted from one to- another and is |
probably responsible for the so-called |
laziness of the Inhabitants not only Of |
Porto Rico, but of most other tropical |
countries. AS a matter of course; the
doctors have found the bug which does
the business. 1t has been developed
that the Infection is caused by the pres
ence of small worm, the uncinaria. in
the intestines of the patient; hence the
name of uncinariasis.

MATTE MATICS
VS.. SENTIMENT

Editor Advertiser: There is a good
deal in the first part of Mr.. w. A.
Loves statements in last evenings
Bulletin that sounds very wei, no doubt
about inducements, etc, and says
there's no reason why we should not
have fifty thousand European laborers
here within the next year.
Now, don't think he stopped to re-
feet . moment before he made that
statement. Suppose, for instance. the
Inducements he suggests as to giving
them land opportunities, etc, are to
imply that the plantations give them
house for their families (they have got
to have a house to live in). I would
like to ask Mr.. Love how much money
these immigrants are likely to have
in their clothes wherewith to build a
house after they have paid their pas
sage money to Honolulu. Or if these
people, are gathered together at the
immigrant station at New York, how
many of them would have the where
with to pay their fare from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu, even if they have
enough to land themselves in san Fran
cisco with?
Who is to pay their fare to this
country? Who will be called upon to
build their homes for them? Fifty
thousand laborers? This would mean
