leaving no visible evidence of the fact
still on account of the underlying black
sand strata which is found there, even
though they have to come across skele-
tons in digging graves, it remains sani-
tary and hardly warrants it being
closed to interments altogether More
rigid rules for the marking of burial
spots should be enforced by the officials
selling the burial site, requiring ma
terial more lasting than wood for same.
The proposed Waialae cemetery site
owned by Gear, Lansing Co., situated
on the east side of Diamond Head,
comprising forty to fifty acres, is very
suitable for the purpose and we would
pronounce same as being sanitary in
every respect and capable of being
made into veritable beauty spot under
properly organized burial association.
The proposed Kalihi cemetery site
situated on the west side of the valley,
on the Kamehameha ~ road, will be
above the proposed School street ex-
tension when extended out of town as
far as Kahauiki. Though this site is
outside the two mile limit from the
center of the city, it lacks depth of
soil for digging graves and is situated
within resident section, which is
against public opinion.
The Kamoiliili site below the church,
represented by w. r. Castle, is about
two and a half to three acres. 1t is
strictly intended to be used as burial
ground for the Buddhist sect. of Jap
anese. The excavations down to seven
feet show lava scoria intermingled with
larger rock which may require blasting
in some eases There is no sign or
water to contaminate and in the line
of sanitation nothing can be said
against it, more than lack of loam
or dirt soil for covering the graves, but
same can be brought on to it if neces-
sary from nearby if required. Some
thing, however, should be provided for
this numerous class of people, more es-
pecially when Makiki is closed to them.
A receiving vault should be provided
for this site.
The Board passed resolution adopt |
ing the recommendations of the report, |
and directing notice to be given that |
cemeteries and parts of cemeteries de- |
clared insanitary should be closed after |
ninety days notice is given.
The cemetery site at Moiliili was |

zation is ready TO act and if given

NEW WATER SUPPLY FOR THE
MOLOKAI LEPER SETTLEMENT
Arrangement Being Made With Marine Hospital
Service by Which the Cost of the Pipe
Line Is Provided

A new, abundant and perennial
source of water supply for the Leper
Settlement at Molokai has been Sc
cured. or it is believed has been Sc
.cured. by an arrangement with the
united States Public Health and Ma
rine Hospital Service.
The source of the supply is the Wal
kolo Valley, on the Kalawao side OF
the Settlement. The present supply
comes from this valley, but is from
a series of springs a comparatively
short distance up the valley. But the
proposed source is considerably higher
up and from a stream that leads from
the perennially rain-soaked mountain
mass forming the backbone of the is
land
To tap this source of supply with
an eight-inch pipe has been plan Tor
the Settlement for a long time, and
the pine was actually bought and
landed at the Settlement. But lack OF
funds prevented this accomplishment,
and the whole project would have had
to wait until the next Legislature met
had it not been possible to carry out
the combination with the Marine Hos
pitaI Service.
The United States Leprosarium
buildings are now reaching compile
ton, and a large and constant supply
.Sf water will soon be needed. The
Marine Hospital Service did not care
to extend a pipeline up to the source
on land which it did not own to sup
ply which it did not control. The Ter

THE INSANITARY
CEMETERIES
Board of Health Takes Positive Action on an
Old Subject-Report of Special Com
mittee---Buddhist Cemetery

The Board of Health has declared two
cemeteries and part of third, un
sanitary, and has prohibited interment!
after three months.
At the same time it approved tive
cemetery sites, and one of these vii
very likely be an accomplished fac
within the three months.
The Board of Health in the past
come up to the brink of closing GENE
teries but never took the final step until
yesterday.
The action was taken on the report
of a special committee on cemeteries
consisting of DIR. j. T. Wayson, and NJ
p. Robinson, who were appointed at the
last meeting.
The report in its principal parts was
as follows:
{ Nuuanu Valley Cemetery-Ts sani-
tary; it has been enlarged in the rear
and is sufficient for many years.
Makiki Government Cemetery-Is in
a most sanitary site. But outside of
private lots, which are vested rights,
is overerowded. We do not recommend
'enlarging or adding new portion and
would close it as to interments, outside
of the private owners of lots and their
families.
The King Street Catholic cemetery is
sanitary, so far as quality of soil is
concerned on the higher ground portion,
but on the furthest inside portion
asloping down towards CycIomia park
that was, it becomes too shallow for
graves, quickly reaching water and
therefore we recommend prohibiting
further interments to all that portion
On the inside lower end that will on
excavation meet with water at the reg
ulatien depth required, say six feet,
and that said portion be declared un-
sanitary and condemned and closed for
such purpose.
The Catholic Waikiki Cemetery-Is
unsanitary and should be closed for rea-
sons as above cited and existing in the
lower portion of the King street Catho-
lie cemetery near Honolulu (see Ven
huizen s report).
The Kawaiahao Cemetery-Is sani-
tary. Though evidences prove that this

During an epidemic of grip Peruna
should be used. Tho doses recon-
mended on the bottle are sufficient.
After the grip has once been acquired.
DIR. Hartman recommends the use Of
Peruna in teaspoonful doses every hour
during the acute stage, after which
the directions on the bottle should be
followed.
Experience has shown that the peo-
pie who use Peruna as a remedy for
grip generally recover sooner and are
less liable to the distressing and long
continued after-effects of the grip.
When Peruna has not been used dur
ing the course OF the grip. and the pa
tient finds himself suffering from the
after-efrects Of this disease. course Of
Peruna should be resorted to.

Healthy Mucous Membranes.

Those who are fortunate enough to
have perfectly healthy mucous MEM
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose. throat and lungs, when in nor
NAL state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion Of grip.
But II there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement OF the mu-
cous membranes, then the victim be-
comes an easier prey to the grip.
This in part explains why some peo-
pie get the grip. while others do not.
The rational thing to do is to keep
the system free from catarrh. In at
tempting to do this most people have
found Peruna to be invaluable.
