Green & Co, publishers.
Two remarkable books have been
written recently by Frances Guliek
Jewett, of Oberlin. They form part of
series of school texts, written for
the use and under the direction of Dr.
Luther Halsey 6ulick, who is now di-
rector of physical training in the pub
lie schools of New York city. The first
volume. Good Health, treats of personal
hygiene, especially emphasizing those
things a child can do for himself. such
as the care of the eyes, the teeth, ordi-
nary ventilation, etc The second
book, Town and City, represents fresh
step in civic education. 1t is the first
attempt to make school children ae-
quainted with the fundamentals of com
munal health, such as water supply,
sewage, contagion, clean streets, pure
food, etc. In both books the style Is
crisp, the movement rapid, and the
mater itself thoroughly scientific ami
free from dogmatic assertion. but full

is drawn The treatment Of alcohol

individual and on the community, is

TWO INCIDENTS
At THE CAPITOL
Berger's Little Mistake---Con-
sui Forster's Runaway
Executive Functions.

Captain John A. luke, commanding
H. B. N. s. Monmouth, accompanied by
Mr.. r. G. Y. Forster, H. B. NJ consul.
called on Acting Governor Atkinson at
the Capitol yesterday forenoon. Col
onels j. W. Jones and Sam johnson,
\. G. H., attended the governor. Cap
tain Berger was on hand. in the Capitol
grounds, with the band, playing the
British national anthem on the arrival
and departure of the visitors.
Two incidents occurred in connection
with the band, one of them comieal
and the other a little less so from hav-
ing spice of peril.
Just before the arrival of Consul
Forster's carriage with Captain luke
and himself another carriage with dis
tinguished occupants, three in number,
entered the grounds. They were recog-
nized correctly as japanese and were in
full morning dress with plug hats and
all. Captain Berger sized up one of the
gentlemen, sitting in the back seat, as
Prince Fushimi. This was a surprise
10 the veteran kapellmeister but he had
never allowed himself to be taken by
surprise before and this occasion should
be no exception.
A quick command, brisk flourish Of
the baton, and the notes of the Japan
csc national anthem from the loud mu-
steal battery smote the welkiE. The
three gentlemen in the carriage were
hugely tickled over the compliment, es-
peeially as their visit was unheralded.
They were Consul General Miki Saito,
DR.. Haido and Mr.. Akai, manager Of
the Yokohama Specie bank, commit
tee to consult Mr. Atkinson regarding
the reception TO Prince Fushimi.
The second incident was a runaway.
Consul Forster had left the horse at
taehed TO his carriage unattended, and
when the band struck up at the de-
paFture of Captain luke and himself
from the building. on their way to the
Forster sprinted at a medal-winning
pace for the horses head and in few
strides caught it and prevented what
might have been disastrous episode
Acting Governor Atkinson, accom-
panied by Colonies Jones and johnson,
at $3.50 in the afternoon called on
Major Dunning and stah of the Doth
Infantry at Kahauiki Post, in return of
the call on him by them the day before
From there Mr.. Atkinson had to hurry
away to his Waikiki residence, to re-
ceive the return call from Prince Flu
shimi appointed for 1 clock

THE TRUTH ALWAYS.

When you are in doubt tell
the truth" It was an expert
enced old diplomat who said this
to a beginner n the work. It
may pass In some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
eeption are often profitable so
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way Ia to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and q reputa-
ton that ia always worth twen-
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity Of
wAMPOLE'S PREPARATIONS
rests. The people have discov-
cred that this medicine is exact
" what It is said to he, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it viii do. It's ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. It is palatable az honey
and contains all the nutritive and
curative properties Of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by rs from
fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites and the Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. a COM
bination of supreme excellence
and medicinal merit. Nothing
has been so successful in Ane-
mia, Scrofula, Bronchitis, Infu-
enla, Loss of Flesh and Vast
ing Diseases, Weakness and Low
Nervous Tone, and all COM
plants caused by Impure Blood.
DR.. Austin D. Irvine, of Canada,
says: al have used it in cases
where cod liver oil was indica-
ted but could ms be taken by
the patient, and the results fol-
lowing were very gratifying" 1t
cannot deceive or disappoint you,

and comes to the rescue of those
who have received no benefit
from any other treatment It

GUESS WATER BILLS
Rents Are Estimated Where
There Are No Meters.
PROTEST IS MADE BY HOTEL
Edward j. SteIIwagen, President of
willard Company, Secures Redue-
ton of Alleged Excessive Charges.
commissioners Tell OF Difficulties
with Which They Are COntending.

As the result of a protest submitted by
Edward J. Stellwagen, president of the
New Willard Hotel Company. TO the Com
missioners regarding the waterfront bill
of the New willard Hotel fer the months
of October, November, and December, it
was developed yesterday that, in the alb
sence of a water meter, the District gov
eminent presents bill based upon an
estimate" Of the amount of water con-
sumed. This is acknowledged by w. r..
Macfarland superintendent of the water
department.. TO be a most unsatisfactory
practice, resulting in much annoyance,
not only 70 the consumer, but also TO the
department"
In recent letter to the Commissioners,
Dir. Stellwagen says that for some reason
the meter was taken from the New viii
lard Hotel during the month Of October,
being replaced November Il. and state
ment was taken December =.
This portion of the quarter. therefore,
covered by the water reading he writes,
Is the very busiest time in the entire
fan of the year, and it is eminently I'M
fair that the first part of November and
ali the month of October should be esti-
mated on any such basis. They make the
bin over 500 more than it has been for
a similar period, and / think il is matter
that shouId be fairly adjusted, and if any
guessing is 10 be done, by taking last
years bill for the same period Of time.
Due to Increase ip Rate.
Mr.. SteIlwagcn was informed that it is
a practice of the water department where
meter fails 20 register. TO render a bill
based on the actual reading OF the meter
/ after it has been reset and allowed TO run
/ for a reasonable period, and that it APP
peared that the large size of his bill is
/ due principally to the increase in The
water rate In reply 10 this Mr.. Stell-
wagon wrote the Commissioners as fol
/ lows:
+ Up TO the time Of taking up this mat
/ ter. ! was not aware that there had been
1 any increase in the rate charged for
water and / find upon general inquiry
/ that the community at large was also not
aware Of the fact. The one or two inser-

/ Der. 1866 and eight months later, as tC
meter regulations, in midsummer, wher
most Of the citizens were out of town had
/ escaped me. as well as such of my
friends TO whom the matter was men
toned.
THE question naturally arises in th'
mind of some OF us. and. of course We
would welcome explanation. why, wher
almost frenzied attacks are being made
upon all so-called public utility corpora
tons TO reduce their charges IA the In
terests of the citizens this, the only pub
JIG utility under municipal control, is ad

Installation Of Meters.

1.-THE installation OF water meters will
also be at a considerable cost. Congress
100000 last year to be paid
back from revenues of the water dc
partment at the rate of $20.0C0 year
1t will probably authorize this year tho
expenditure of such funds as are prac-
ticable for continuing the extension 'of
water meters. The necessity of meters
is self-evident, as the use and abuse Of
water has caused the capacity of the
conduit to be nearly reached. as well as
the filtration plant and at certain times
of the year has caused almost water
famine
For instance. during the winter Of
1904. the reservoirs were drawn down with
the use OF water during several days Of
cold weather so that had the cold weather
