HOW TO KEEP WELL.
Some Helpful Hint: from the Health
Department.
The Story of the Ink Pot"

The Story of the Ink Pot"
In New York City is a block in one
of the crowded tenement districts
known as the Lung Block" This
block is packed with huge, grimy ten
ements, honeycombed with rooms
from which both light and air have
been excluded. One Of the houses in
the block is called the link Pot" II
is five stories high, has front and rear
tenements and houses 140 people. The
whole building is dark and dirty
Doctor Huber in his work, "Consump-
ton and Civilization" gives the fol-
lowing record of just one room In the
link Pot" Here It is:
Up on the third floor is a room
with two little closets behind it. In
one Of these a blind Scotchman slept.
He took consumption and died in the
hospital : A few months later his lit
tie daughter was stricken with the
same malady and died. Then the
mother with one son left, moved
away. But the room had never been
disinfected and as the sunlight had
no chance to get into 1t the germs
were still there. Next a Jew rented
the room; he was taken and in few
months was dead. The next vicdms
were a German and his wife; she
took the plague and died. Then an
Irish family came in. The father was
hard worker, a man Of steady hab
its and fond of his family. After six
months he too came down and died.
This is the record for only one in
fected room in only one house out OF
whole block of foul disease-breed-
ing tenements. There is one other
room in the same tenement where the
known record of deaths from con
sumption is equally appalling.
Now, had the rooms we have been
talking about been properly construct
ed a few days of air and. sunshine
would have freed them from the dead
ly germs that cost so much suffering
and so many deaths.
AS we have said in former talks.
consumption is a house disease. 1t
is not contracted in the open air and
sunlight. Rooms that are properly
provided with fight and air and with
windows so placed that the rooms
may be flooded with sunshine are not
likely to become breeding spots for
disease. It is a wise provision of
nature that germ life cannot live m-
der the rays Of the sun. Sunshine,
air, light and Jcleanliness are the
agencies that promote health. Dark
ness and dirt produce disease.
so then, the lesson We ger from the
little story Of the link Pot" is very
plain and easily undersao,d. It is
this:
Our homes and places where we
live and work must be kept clean
They must also be Well provided with
pure air and sunshine. This means
that we must open the windows and
let the fresh air In; also raise the
blinds and give the sun a chance.
Bedding and clothing should be FIRE
Quently aired and summed.
Next we shouId Try to 1--we right
Cultivate regular habits, eat simple
but nOurishing foods and. above all

sunshine We possibly can. FOR in the |

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY And
THE NEGRO.
Julius r. Taylor,

THE NeSHO'
julius r. Taylor,
Editor Of The Broad Ax:-
The Negro must now make himself
felt in American politics. They owed
much to the republican party for
many years. The party also owed
much to them. They furnished one
hundred and eighty thousand good
soldiers to help put down the greatest
rebellion. that ever failed. They fur
nished votes enough to keep the re-
publican party in possession for N hny
years after the war. After they had
furnished the votes that turned 1.-THE
scales in favor Of r. B. Hayes, he
/ turned his back on them, withdrew
the army that protected them and
left them to their fate. Tilden could
not have done worse by them, IL he
had been elected, and probably would
not have done so bad.
From that day to the present, the
republican party has been letting go
, of the Negroes interest till now IL
makes no pretense Of trying to pro-
tect them In their rights. A republi-
can party has grown up that knows
not Lincoln, Just as there was Phar-
aoh came to the throne Of Egypt who
knew not Joseph. There are repub-
licans who feel otherwise, but they
are no longer in control. What must
the Negroes do? They must cross
the Red Sea, and no longer stay to
serve their Egyptian task masters.
They need not wait for the waters to
separate, they can wade them -
There is just as much reason for
the Negroes to expect favors from a
Democratic party and administration
as from a Republican; in fact more
so. Cleveland was IS fair to the
Negroes as any president since Grant.
It is fair to presume that Bryan would
as from a republican; in fact more
than is the condition now.
The South is In the saddle. Their
speers are buckled on and sharp.
They can ride the horse whittier so
ever they will. The Negroes Will be
forced to walk. But be patient-foot-
men can go where morse can not.
There are many by paths and short
routes the footmen can take and cut
corners and reach the good sooner
than the horsemen who must take
the longer and leveler roads
Continue to black the white mans
shoes, while you are powerless 20 do
better, but never concede that you
are not entitled to do better work
II you do. he viii kick you with the
shoes you black. II he reminds Jou
that he gave you your vote. remind
him that you have paid him dearly
for it. You. have -bvaght- your vaes
at a dear price and paid for them
including a big interest. Now it iS
yours. Use it as you like. There is
more hope of favors from an open |
enemy than from a false friend. BE
independent, and let it be known tina;
you are such. II your vote is so
hampered that it can not be used for |
your betterment, then it is worthless
to you. Sell for what 1t will bring. |
Sell 1t to the enemy even.

WANTED WOMEN
IN THE NAVY

CHICAGO, Dec. IL Women nurs-
es should be employed in the United
States navy, in order to raise the ma
val medical service to its highest
standard of efficiency" This is the
opinion of Dr. X. w. Plummer, past
assistant surgeon of the United States
naval medical service, who spoke yes
terday at the opening session of the
national legislative council of the
American Medical Association in the
Auditorium hotel.
A bill for the establishment and or
ganization of a corps of trained wo-
men nurses in the navy was recon-
mended to congress 1t provides that
women nurses be employed in nava
hospitals on shore in time of peace
and on hospital and ambulance ships
in time of war.
In discussing the measure, Dr.. Plum
mer paid high tribute to the efficien
cy of women nurses.
Physicians and surgeons recogniz,
that women nurses have come L
stay he said.
| Up to the present time we hay,
had to get along without women nurs
es in the navy. The army has womeI
nurses, and the reports from the arm!
surgeons show the army medical ser
vice has been raised to a higher stand
ard.
I'VE know that women nurses ar
essential to the highest standard o
efficiency of the naval medical service
their assistance is as necessary to tn
naval surgeon as to the medical me-
of the army. Physicians everywher
favor women nurses.
DR.. Plummer added that the propos
ed corps Of women nurses was not in
tended to supersede the regular hos
pital corps. The new corps. he sale
was intended as an auxiliary force.
The gathering, which is the annua
meeting of the council, devoted tn
morning session to routine business
Twenty-Five members of the counc
were present from many states.

ing a concentration OF the country

toat as many pupils as possible may
have the advantages Of graded teach

cussed as it relates TO Ainakea and

Babbitt stated that he expects by the
time of the next Legislature to ask for
money for means of transporting chill

the desired concentration in scattered

the ACCESSIBILITY of this, of the Kalihi-

handled in this manner
The Board declined to reinstate Mr..

although a strong petition was read
from persons in the district As a bad
precedent, it was decided not to make
a reinstatement
Trouble at the Lahaina school caused
by the sale of seeds and other products
from the school grounds by Miss Had

to buying balls and bats. etc for the

As result it is likely that both
teacher and inspector may be removed

taken towards this end at yesterdays

Mrs. Cannon resigned her position as
teacher.
Ross Hall ended the investigation OF
charges against him by resigning hi:

TILLMAN INTRODUCES RSOLU-
TION INSTRUCTING COMMITTEE
TO INVESTIGATE TRAFFIC.

WASHINGTON, Dec 1S.-Senator
Tillman today introduced the follow
ing resolution, and asked immediate
considerations
That the committee on interstate
commerce be instructed to consider
and report, by bill or otherwise, what
legislation is desired or necessary to
enable the state in the exercise of
their police powers to control the
commerce of liquors and all alcoholic
beverages whiting their borders. SO
as to aid the cause of temperance and
to prevent the announcement by the
United States government of Illicit
dealing in the same
Explaining his purpose Mr. Tillman
said it was to prevent, if possible, the
circumvention of the laws i'm the in
terest of prohibition which are being
generally enacted in the Southern
states.
Congress attempted cnacting the
Wilson law to protect the people in
the enforcement of their state laws,
but the courts have shaded and shad-
ed down the protection until there is
practically nothing left of it, and /
want the committee to ascertain whe-
Their it is not practicable to give re-
lief The decisions of the court have
been on the ground that the law inter
feres with Interstate commerce, and
it is on this account that | have ask
ed to have the investigation made
by the Interstate commerce commits
sion"
Mr. Tillman holds the express com
panies responsible for the evasion of
the state laws He says they are
flooding the local option part of South
Carolina and other local option South
ern states with whiskey which is sent
in from states &C. o. d.
The supreme court of the United
States has held that such traffic can
not be interfered with because of its
interstate character.
Senator Aldrich objected to the pas
sage of this resolution on the ground
that it called for a great deal of in
formation from the interstate com
merce commission. which would con
sumo much time and he thought il
shouldr first go to the committee OF
interstate commerce in order tina
that committee might ascertain how
much work would be involved in II.
