BAC|LL| OF LEPRQsY
Still IN HIS SYSTEM
Hope is again deferred


The Nastine treatment, from which
so much was expected and which II
was believed had cured patient at
the Kalihi Receiving Station who has
been under this treatment for several
months, has been found not to have
effected cure after all
A meteorological examination was
made lately by DR.. Walter Hoffman,
and DIR. J. IT, Mcdonald, and the
hacilli of leprosy was found to be still
in his system.
That the treatment is not without
effect, however, is proved by the fact
that all clinical :. .nptoms have dis
appeared, and the bacilli themselves,
instead of being distributed as they
are in leprosy cases, are gathered in
lunches. This, it is said, is one of the
typical characteristics resulting from
the Nastine treatment.
AS result of this examination the
patient will have to remain segregated
and the Nastine treatment will be con-
tinued.

to check me up. During the past
eighteen months this duty has devolved
upon Mr.. Charles Hustace, Jr., Mr..
Bicknell and Mr.. John w. Cathcart.
tlemen belong to the same political
party that l do, and am pleased now
to say that they performed their duties
conscientiously and weh.
"I feel sure it will interest you to
know how they found things from time
to time. Please bear in mind that

times, and that no notice was sent
ahead of their coming. Here are their
reports, signed and sworn to in every
case before notary public. And in
every case they found the money in
the Treasurer Office correct to cent.
"Now, gentlemen, if there is any
| credit due for the manner in which this
money has been handled, want the
Treasurer clerk, Manly Hopkins, t.
have his full share of it. Practically
every dollar of it has passed through
his hands, and not even n single mis-
take has been charged up to him.
"And this is the record on which
| ask for your votes for reelection. The
Home Rulers and Republicans are both
anxious to get control of the treasury
A vote for them will be vote to re
| pudiate the record that has already
been made and to substitute Other
methods. Do you want to make the
change!"

William Jarrett, candidate for Sheriff
said, loosely, that in serving warrants
he had never failed but once, and tina
was when he had been given warran
for Republican who was going to yot,
the straight Republican ticket. He has
been obliged to return that, "not foun,
in Oahu County,
/ Jarrett said he was a poor speaker
but that when it came to action he be
lieved he could say he was there witt
the goods.
Other speakers were II. I. Moore, L
NJ. Watson and Joseph J. Fern.
In opening the meeting Chairmal
lngham said, among other things;
"If Mr.. McCandless were goinl
about making the rash statements, a
charged by the Republicans, /, for one
would petition to have guardian az
pointed for him forthwith.
But even if il were trne- that tn
promise of a homestead of 100 acres 0
