REGULATING THE SPRINKLING OF
LAUNDERED ARTICLES.
In the recommendation made by the
Board Of Health, December 3lst, 1904,

of clothing and articles with liquid
from the mouth. The suggestion failed
An investigation of the adverse deci.
sion on q similar law by the Supreme
Court under date of February 18th,
1893, discloses the fact 1t was Act 81
Sections /, 2, 3, Session Laws of 1898,
that was rendered void, and not a reg.

with liquid sprayed or projected from
the mouth of said person or persons.
| EXPECTORATION.
| The number of deaths in Honolulu
| for two years ending June 30th. 1905,
was 1884, of these 26S, or 1916 per
cent. were from pulmonary tubercu.
losis. and SO or 100 per cent. were
from other tubercuar diseases.
Section 3S OF the rules and regula.
tions Of the Board of Health declares
pulmonary tuberculosis to be a com.
municable and a preventable disease"
UnQuestionably exposure arising
from indiscriminate expectoration by
those afflicted is the prime means Of
spreading the disease.
The Regulation No. rs OF your hon
orable Board is wholly inadequate. FIX.
pectoration should not be allowed In
any place where the clothing OF any
person can touch the sputum. II would
be impossible to control the public ia
the extreme, hence, | suggest the gut
tiers Of the street be excepted.
! | recommend section 2S of the rules
and regulations OF the Board Of Health
be amended TO read as follows:
Resolved: That no person shall ex
pectorate upon any public place, side
valk, street crossing, or upon the floor
of any street car or railway car, or any
