: FRESH AIR FOR CONSUMPTIVES 5
Most Effective Weapon Available for Conflict I
With Dreaded white Plague


The following abstracts from an ar
ticle by J. E. Stubbert. NJ. D.. in the
Medical Record, should receive wide
and careful attention. No doubt if
these ideas could be carried out, the
white plague" would he robbed Of
much Of its terror:
In ancient times il was highly inn
proper 10 expose a tuborculous pa
tient. especially one beyond the first
stage. to breath Of fresh air except
on the mildest days in summer, while
the night air was dreaded and avoided
as the plague. Then the more obsery-
ant and thoughtful men noticed that
those who lived more in the open air
did not die as quickly as the dollhouse
patients. and they began to urge an
outdoor life and moderate exercise
as a prophylactic as well as cure
for those in the early stages of con-
sumption Those in the more advanc-
ed stages were allowed fresh air only
when it was at summer temperature,
but even this was better than being
kept indoors in warm. ill-yentilated
rooms the whole year.
There are several plans by which
the victim Of tuberculosis may con-
tinuously breathe pure, fresh air by
night as well as by day. Sleeping out
in the open air is not harmful to a
large majority of tuberculous people.
Millet, of Brockton. Mass, reports
the cases OF FIVE patients whom he
recommended to sleep out of doors at
night. They were allowed no roof
over their heads except in rainy
weather They wore soft felt hats
and cotton nightshirts, sleeping under
| ordinary bedclothes in beds arranged
on the roofs of their houses. Ina
] provement was noted in two weeks.

/ came normal, respirations we're easier
/ and weight increased rapidly No at
1 tention was paid to dampness and
I drafts, and heavy dews we're regarded
as inconvenient simply because of the
I necessity Of drying the bedclothes.
/ Sleeping in a small room with an
/ open window does not appear to be
nearly so beneficial TO the patient as
when the nights are passed on yer
anda or in a tent where there is Z
free circulation of air on all sides. L

have large room with southern ex

open freplaces, in addition to larg'
windows on three sides. which nigh

fers the circular to the army tent, an,

THE HOUSE.

! The principal portion of the morning
session of the House yesterday was TAX
en- up in the dreary process of read
ing the County Act through for the
third time. The clerk and the inter
prefer took turns about in reading it
through and the members did not even
affect the interest in the measure
which they are supposed to feel.
THE GOVERNORS VETO.
There was a welcome break in the
monotony when Secretary Atkinson
appeared with a message from Gov
ernor Carter, a message which turned
out to be the Governors first veto. II
ran thus:
TO the Legislature of the Territory of
| Hawaii:

titled An Act to Amend Sections 2223

wall, relating to annulment divorce and
separation received from the Legisla-
ture on March 9Th at a IN. and re-
turn the same herewith without my
signature.
The necessity for making laws that
are clear in expression and concise in
language is one to which L have al
ready called your attention. This bill
makes the proof that person has been
segregated as leper prima facie evi-
, dence that such person has contracted
the disease of leprosy. 1t is open for
question whether segregation as Ieper
has not taken place when a person Is
confined as a suspect and it would be
unfortunate to have on our statutes a
law which made such temporary seq
regation sufficient grounds for divorce.
The evident intent of the bill is to pro-
vide that when either party has been
declared by law to be leper proof of
such declaration may be taken as
prima facie evidence that the person
has contracted the disease known as
Chinese leprosy, and is incapable of
cure
My objection is not made TO the In
tent Of the bill. but rather to it's form.

THE SENATE.

The Senators did a little high-class
politics at the afternoon session yes
terday upon the second reading Of
House Bill 43, fixing the pay of day
laborers in the public employ at the
rate of $1.25 per day. The bill had been
reported from the Senate Judiciary
Committee with an amendment that
provided that such laborers should
receive $50 per day in Honolulu, and
81 % in the outside districts the COM
mittee advancing the argument that
the price OF living was greater in Ho-
noluIu, and that therefore the men
should be paid more to enable them
to support their families.
In the beginning, when the bill came
up for second reading, McCandless
arose and asked for some information
He said that he understood the House
had passed the county bill, and if that
We're true and the county act We're to
pass both houses. it would put this
matter of the minimum pay of labor
ers into the hands of Boards of Super
visors. The rates of pay mentioned in
the bill, by the way, were minimum
rates in all cases.
After McCandless had been told by
Achi that the matter was still on for
the consideration of the legislature,
Bishop wanted to know why dis
elimination mad been made by the
committee against laborers in the out
side districts.
Achi answered that the cost of living
was higher in Honolulu and then
Bishop moved that the minimum wage
be fixed at $1.30 a day, this, he said
would cover the discount of two per
cent now made on the warrants of
Iaborers.
Paris said that Kona people were
glad to work for one dollar day. Ii
the wage were raised to $1.25 or S1.5O,
there would be just that much less
money left to spend for public i'm
provementS.
HIGH POLITICS.
GandaII thought the rate Of pay
should be uniform throughout the is
lands 1t was not true that it cost
more to live in Honolulu than in Ka-
uai. for instance.
Dickey called attention to what he
said was an error by Bishop in stating
that laborers lost anything by having
their warrants discounted. Labor
ers," said, the Senator from Maui, ARE
not paid by warrant
do you mean to say that they do
not get their pay by warrants?' asked
Achi.
Yes"
you don't know what you are talk
ing about Achi exclaimed.
Then Dickey moved that the mini
mum wage throughout the islands be
put at one dollar a day.
That was my motion" said Paris.
Then 1 second it, said Dickey.
ut has been said that if we vote
against this bill we will not be re-elect-
ed said Paris. but L think if we
vote the improvements, we will get the
votes"
Achi made an earnest plea for the
passage of the bill as it came from the
President Isenberg, calling
Paris to the chair, made speech
agreeing with Achi that it cost more
TO live in Honolulu than in the outer
districts but said that the rate or
wages fixed in this bill would be the
minimum AS much more might be
paid as was possible. But he said the
la borers of Kauai would be satisfied
with one dollar a day. They were,

Time Of Year Has Arrived
To Clean Up Your Premises

In this connection it is not
amiss to call attention to the fact
that in the very center OF the
J city may be found a wagon load
=! of refuse ON a lot and nearby a
| bin used possibly for a year or
such a time.
Now, why should it be incun-
, bent on the city authorities to
make warfare? Certainly, the
citizen himself should have suffi-
cient respect to do his duty in this
regard, and the neighbOr who
does his and seeing that the other
fellow does not his duty and
makes no complaint, is not doing
his neighborly duty, nor is he do
ing justice to his own family. Let
every one clean his premises and
keep them clean, and there will
then be no cause for complaint.
Mayor Lynn Kirkland has des-
ignated Monday, May 1, as
"cleaning-up day" for the resi-
dents of the city, and earnestly
quests the people in general to
make a concerted effort on that
date to rid their premises of ali
refuse matter and thereby add in
every way possible to the attrac-
tiveness of the town. This is a
highly commendable suggestion
on the part of our efficient mayor,
and all citizens should comply
with the request.
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1905-04-29

The time of the year is at hand
for cleaning premises. 1t is In
cumbent on every citizen to do SO
for the benefit of himself and fam
lily, and the man neglects to do
so is not worthy to be known as
the head of a family. There are
evidences of this unworthiness in
Sistersville, the Oil Review re-
grets to say, but doubtless the
fault has been because OF thought
fitness rather than willfulness,
but, after newspaper attention
has been called to it, there can be
no excuse.
As the result every citizen who
cleans up his premises should have
the good will of all others, who do
the like, but he who will not clean
his premises should have such So
cial ostracism as will impress up
on his duty to himself, his family,
his neighbors and his city to such
an extent that he will find it
compulsory to clean his place.
There are some who would lay the
blame on the city, and, possibly,
those authorities are not strict
enough, but the man who assumes
to be responsible for household,
should not wait to be forced into
protecting the welfare of those
nearest and dearest to him, to say
nothing of his duty as a citizen.
