ALL HOGS
ARE ALIKE

Educated pigs have no more privi-
leges than uncultured pigs within Ho-
nolulu city limits, according to de-
Board of Health. Though the city is
mot incorporated, therefore having no
limits by metes and bounds, yet for
the living hog 1t has a boundary. This
is four miles from the Honolulu post
office in every direction, within which
boundary Board of Health regulation
makes the keeping of swine unlawful.
1t was the question of allowing the
maintenance of hog pens and runs on
the instruction farm of Kamehameha
Schools which the board decided. The
decision was against the piggery.
Letters that had passed between
President Pinkham and F. G. Krauss,
agriculturist of Kamehameha Schools.
were submitted to the board by the
former with these remarks:
'"The reply to my letter of July 81
avoids the point brought forward.
IT emphasize the necessity of in no
way weakening our control of sanitary
conditions. The decision is in your
hands"
In his concluding letter, accompanied
by illustrated print Mr.. Krauss pleads
strongly, indeed almost pathetically,
that the Kahnehameha hogs are a par
ticularly fine lot of swine and receive
such scientific care that it is impossi-
bile for them to become a menace to
public health.
1--WE fully appreciate" Mr.. Krauss
writes. the stringency of your rules
and regulations in regard to the con-
troll of piggeries in general in this Ter
ritory, but we believe our conditions at
the Kamehameha Schools to be suffi-
ciently exceptional to warrant your
making an exception In our case with
out setting a precedent that would re-
act detrimentally upon established
rules and regulations, because no SINH
lar conditions exist in this Territory"
In conclusion Mr.. Krauss promised
that nothing would be left undone to
keep the Kamehameha pig runs in the
best possible condition. He was willing
space allowed to each pig.
do the regulations forbid the keep
ing of pigs within the city limits?"
DIR. Judd asked.
YES" the president answered.
Are Kamehameha Schools within
the city limits?" the same member
then asked.
President Pinkham thought So but
called in DR.. Pratt for explicit infor-
nation. The chief sanitary Of
ficer said the prohibited limits
for hogs extended four miles
from the postofiice. He also said that
it was the runs more than the pens at
Kamehameha Schools to which objec-
ton was taken.
GLOW are we going to control the
rest of them IL we make this excep-
'tion?" the president asked. IT would
hate to break down our control of
pigs" He added that he had con-
wersed with w. o. Smith, who said
a meeting of trustees would consider
the subject but he had heard nothing
from him since.
Being then put to the meeting, it was
voted that the desired permission be
| refused.
- POISONOUS NosTRUM.
The president desired ito give the
widest possible information relative to
a certain advertised nostrum called
.Liquozone.'
THE Territorial chemist has expos
ed its dangerous character and our
leading druggists have labeled the
containers poison on his representa-
ton. 1t is advertised for internal use.
1t. contains none of the elements
claimed, and is of no remedial value.
Other evidence than our local authority
asserts it to be useless and danger
GUS"
THE MOSQUITO CAMPAIGN.
Under the head Mosquito Cam
paign" the president offered the fol-
lowing information and advice
I'VE have two men operating a
wagon fitted with the necessary appli-
ances for speedily oiling catch basins,
ponds, pools, etc. and capable of much
quicker and more effective work than
ever before. Every catch basin has
been located and numbered, thanks to
the sewer department. Catch basins
in the busy streets will be oiled after
heavy traffic has ceased for the day.
IAN sanitary inspectors are furnished
with. hooks TO be placed at the COM
monty used entrances of residences. On
these the inspectors will from time to
time hang cards, similar to samples be-
fore you, notifying each householder of
the breeding places of mosquitoes
found on his own premises.
I'VE trust this method will keep the
interest and effort of each householder
up to an effective and persistent point,
otherwise our success will be limited.
I'VE are anxious to be rid of pools
and undrained places. Most of this
work is inexpensive and, II the prop
erty owner would expend trifie of
