The death rate of Honolulu is only
exceeded by fourteen cities on the main
land. Of these fourteen cities, ten are
IN the South and four in the North. In
the former, the colored people-among
whom the death rate is very high-are
in very large numbers, and in the lat
ter the foreign immigrant population is
high.
Of the children under FIVE years of
age who die in Honolulu, 81 per cent
die between the ages of one and six
months, IS per cent between the ages
OF SIX months and one year, Is per cent
between the ages of one and two years,
and per cent between the ages of
two and FIVE years.

Hitherto this work has been carried
on at the Palama Settlement. People
have come from all parts of the city for
the milk. The work is now to be en-
larged
Through the kindness of those in
terested in the Kakaako Mission. a
room has been secured in which a dis
pensafy has already been started and
within week or ten days a milk sta
ton will be opened in the same place.
The plan at present is to have the milk
modified at Palama and put up in bas-
kets and sent ont to Kakaako. This
method is followed to avoid duplication
OF machinery and for the sake of econ
omy.
That the death rate among children
under five years of age can be reduced
is proven by the work of the Roehes-
ter, n. Y, Health Office The death
rate IN that city during the months of
July and August was reduced from
LA to S64, or little over 40 per cent.
1t IS also proposed to open milk
station in the building of the Associa-
ted Charities on Alakea street. This
will eater to those living in the Punch
bowl district, as necessary, and if back
ed by the public of Honolulu, other sta
tons will be opened, not only for the
dispensing of milk but for the instruc-
ton of mothers in the care and feeding
of babies.

babies have been admitted. 1t must
be borne in mind that nearly all of
these babies when brought TO the depot
were weak and sickly, yet the results
have been encouraging. Of the one

Infant Mortality In Honolulu
BY J. A. RatI1.

Attention has lately been called to
the high death rate among the infants
of Honolulu. In the hope that a study
of this question made some two years
ago and supplemented lately by further
study, may be of interest, the following
facts are submitted to the public of
the city.
In infant neutrality-suspicious. under
one year of age-Honolulu exceeds the
average on the mainland by 93.5, the
average for cities on the mainland be-

nine years Honolulu has averaged 273.4
per 1000. The facts for the several
years as revealed by the statistics of
the Board of Health are as follows:

multitudes of girls is a want of
proper nourishment and enough
of it. Nowadays they call this
condition by the learned name of
Anemia. But words change no

victims among them. Some of
them are passing through the
mysterious changes which lead
up to maturity and need especial
watchfulness and care. Alas,
how many break down at this
critical period; the story of such
losses is the saddest in the his

DR.. A. G. Hodgins, in a paper read
before the Territorial Medical Society
IN 1906, stated that about so per cent
of the deaths of infants was due to
gastro-intestinal trouble. This study
goes to confirm the Doctors statement.
1t is certain that At per cent of the
deaths are attributable to this cause,
and if the correct diagnosis of every
case was known, it would without doubt
bring the percentage up to that stated
by DIR. Hodgins.

WANT MONEY SUNDAY
Strenuous Effort to Be Made Next
Sunday Morning at tho Tabernacle
to Raise tho Remainder Of the Money
Needed to Pay Revival Expenses.

An especial effort is to be made at
the tabernacle meeting next Sunday
to raise the remainder Of the money
needed to pay the expenses Of the re-
vival. The total of the collections TO
date is $1,142,58. In preparation for
this effort there is to be a meeting Of
the pastors and those actively inter-
ested in raising the budget at the tab
ernacie FRIDAY.
The plan has been suggested, and
will undoubtedly be adopted, of secur-
ing q certain number of men who will
give SO each toward the expenses. An
effort will also be made to secure a
number Of S. and smaller amounts
each. Two weeks will be allowed in
which to pay these subscriptions. Rev.
Mr.. Sunday is anxious to have this ex-
pense money raised so that taking Of
collections at all except the Sabbath
day meetings can be discontinued.
