The special offer that closed last
Saturday exceeded the expectations OF
the contest department, and although
they would be pleased to announce the
winners of the same that fact is impos-
sible owing to the fact that outside dis
tricts were allowed the privilege of
turning in subscriptions into their
postoffice up to the hour of 10, there Is
no doubt there will be a number come
in today, and besides it will take some
little time to tabulate the number OF
points. However the winners will be
announced as soon as possible.
The Grand Finale
Next Saturday night The Herald's
$4,000 contest will draw to close ana
all votes must be turned into the con-
test department on or before 10 o'clock
next Saturday night. Heretofore on
special offer night contestants residing
outside of Los Angeles were allowed
the privilege of turning into their re-
spective postoffces subscription up to
the hour of 10. On next Saturday
night all must be turned into the Office
at that time.
Contests One, Two and Three
All contestants In the above are here
by warned that they have but six more
DAVIS to demonstrate their ability in
being winners. All promises of sub
scriptions should be carefully looked
after. If there is any way that the
contest department of The Herald can
assist you in securing the same don't
fail to call unon us. We have tried to
the best of our ability to treat one and
all alike and have known no favorftes.
Roll of Honor
This feature in connection with the
contest has been exceedingly popular
and while there is scarcely any per-
ceptible change in the honor roll today
that fact can be attributed to yesterday
being Sunday. The only change in the
same takes place in district five, Mrs.
J. H. Mcdonald of Chino taking the
place of Miss Pearl Campbell of Glen
dora.

Leprosy was brought to Hawaii by Portu-

the island of Maui, was at that time the
great ftting-out port for Pacific whalers,
and some of the whalers used to spend
months there in doing their fitting out.
Portuguese sailors attached to the whal-
ing expeditions contracted more or less
temporary marriages with native women
at Lahaina and some of these sailors, be-
ing infected with leprosy, which they had
picked up in far northerly chimes. thus

1t could not be truthfuly said that there
was no element of pathos in this specta-
Gle but the young lepers appeared to en-
10y it. and they rooted and kicked over
decisions and went through all of the
motions with just as much elaboration
and enthusiasm as If they were whole

live, as a rule, for many years after the
disease develops.
The explanation of the rapid spread Of
the disease throughout the Hawaiian Is
lands. after the first infection through the
Portuguese sailors at Lahaina, is simple
enough. The Kanaka's national dish is
poi, made from the boiled root Of the tara
plant. They eat poi. starchy mess. from
a common household pot, wrapping the
stuff around their fingers and thus in
sorting 1t in their mouths. Thus the ma
tives infected with leprosy infected the
other members of the household through
this dipping of the poi out of the COM
mon household vessel. Many years ago
the Kanakas were forbidden by the Ha-
waiian authorities to eat their poi in this
manner, but it is pretty hard to break up
native custom that has grown up
through the centuries, and the disease
went on spreading through the poi-eating
habit in spite of all efforts of the au-
thCrities.
The lower the scale of civilization. of
course, the less keen do those infected
with leprosy take the anliction. Few of
the Kanakas seen at Molokai most of
them in advanced stages Of the disease.
seemed to be downright unhappy. Many
of the leper men and women had their
children with them. The children, of
course, become lepers themselves in time.
1t is commonly the case. however. for the
wife mother of leper rounded up at
Honolulu and shipped to eternal Danish
ment on Molokai to accompany the aff1ct-
ed one to the leper island. knowing full
well, too, that the chances are all in favor

Of his own life.
Three or four years ago there was
congress Of leprologists at Paris and it
was rumored in the cable dispatches at
the time Of this congress that the old
japanese doctor with the leprosy cure
was going to submit his cure. with the
details, to the congress. Nothing more
was heard Of the matter, however.
The lepers on Molokai go their ways
a good deal like other folks. taking their
affliction with q kind of resignation that
certainly Is or should be an example to
Christians. The male lepers do the fish
ing for the leper colony. 1t used to be
the idea, by the way, that the Kanakas
contracted leprosy from their habit OF
eating raw fish, as all of them do, but
this notion was exploded long ago. The
keenest leprologists could find no ground
whatever for supposing that fish, raw or
cooked, had anything on earth to do with
the disease Of leprosy. So the leper col
onists of Molokai continue to fish and the
lepers eat the fish raw for the most part

of this American doctor who had lived
in Honolulu for so many years. The doc
tor had done valuable and unselfish serv-
ice for the lepers for a number Of years
and when he discovered that he himself
was infected with the disease, and he
asked permission Of the government of
Hawaii to go to Japan, instead Of being
exiled to Molokai. the permission was
granted as an especial favor though as
a matter Of course, very little was pub
licly said about it at the time in order
not to arouse the Japanese health au-
thorities.
The reason why this infected American
doctor wanted to go to Japan. instead of
standing for the lifelong exile to Molo-
kai. was that strange rumors lad reached
him. of and on. for many years, to the
effect that there VAS an aged Japanese
doctor in one of the remote Japanese d1s-
tricts who had discovered a cure for
leprosy. The infected medical man had
heard this yarn from SO many different
and plausible sources. mostly from mari
ners who had seen evidences of the cure
themselves, that in his extremity he de-
sired to root up the old Japanese doctor
and find out if his leproSy remedy
amounted to anything.
So he went to Japan did this American
medical man suffering from leprosy, and
in just four years he returned to Homo
lulu, looking magnificent, and perfectly
cured of the disease-the first cure of
leprosy ever recorded. and the only one.
He had found the old Japanese doctor
and had been treated by him. but the
