Typhoid Fever

W hen the digestive process Is perfect
and the general system is strong and
vigorous, no fear need be entertained of
germs, typhoid, tubercular or otherwise,
as it is only when the system is run
down and IN a weakened state that
these germs or bacilli find favorable
lodgment and multiply. We are daily
taking into our bodies, by way of the
mouth, the nostrils and the skin many
disease germs of a destructive nature,
but as the conditions wit hin the BODY
are not favorable to their propagation
they are rendered inert, destroyed or
thrown off without injury. In locali-
ties where typhoid and other low forms
of fever prevail because of contamina-
ted water or other cause the importance
of sustaining the system at high
standard OF health, in order to resist
the germ influence upon the bodily
functions, cannot be overestimated.
Sunshine, fresh air, proper nourishment
and suttlclent rest are essential to good
health, and whatever contributes to the
peace and luxury of perfect digestion
must not be neglected. A remedy that
eXcltes the flow of the salivary fluid
for the digestion starches and stimu-
lateS- the mucous surfaces and little
glands OF the stomach in the digestion
OF all other foods, and at the same
time, as a simple food. contributes heat
and energy to the body, must be of
priceless value in sustaining and build
ing up the system and rendering it i'm
mune to the despoliation of germs or
other evil agents of health. Duffy S
Pure Malt Whiskey is indisputabIv
i this remedy. 1t not only serves to keep
the bodily health at the highest notch
of excellence, but in typhoid fever es-
peclally, when the bodily functions are
| at their lowest ebb and death seems
imminent, 1t is retained by the stomach
when other agents are rejected. and as
food and stimulant sustains life until
the crisis is passed. While convalescing
after fever it is the greatest strength

euce.

poor when they come here and have to
work several years before they have
money enough, and experience enough
with the land and crops, to do success
full farming. But by bringing in immi-
grants and increasing the population of
settlers we make our public lands more
valuable. Ii there were only 100 peo-
pie in the Hawaiian Islands the public
lands would be worth little or nothing.
Therefore immigrants, though they may
not buy public lands themselves, cause
larger sum to be received from the
sale of those lands which makes more
money to be spent for roads, schools
and public works, and mere money 10
90 as wages to the citizen laborers en-
ployed to build them.
Large Tracts May Be Subdivided
1t is commonplace in economics that
the more settlers there are In a country
the more the land is subdivided into
small farms. In the early days, when
there were said to be half million
Hawaiians in these Islands, the whole
country was covered with kuleanas. In
Porto Rico, with its 100000 people,
even the great sugar plantations are
simply collections of small farms send
ing their cane to central mills. Now,
the ease with which man can get d
farm in Hawaii, or any other country
where land has real value, depends not
so much upon the amount of public land
as upon the extent to which it is di
vided into small holdings. Were Ha
waii divided into forty-acre farms,
we could always buy farm. because
for various reasons farms would always
be on the market. One man would want
to sell to move into town, another be-
cause the climate did not agree with
his wife, another because his father had
died and left him property elsewhere.
Part of our government immigration
policy is to negotiate with the large
private landowners of Hawaii to sub
divide tracts of land into small farms,
to be leased or sold to both citizens and
immi grants. If that can be accom-
phshed, we may hope to see imm gra-
ton accompanied with more small farm
ing, more easily acquired land for every
one. more revenue from taxes and conse-
quentlv more money to spend on public
works now sorely needed. At the same
! time we shall place before the immi
grant an object to work for in which
he will not compete with the native,
but will cooperate with him to make
Hawaii more securely prosperous and
| happy than ever, and to place this Ter
ritory on the road to eventual state
! hood.
Let me add in conclusion that prob
| ably on an average every family of
immi grants-certainly every famil V of
Portuguese and Spanish immigrants
| brought here by the government eventu-
ally pays back to the Territory in taxes
alone more than it costs the government
! to bring it here. Very truly yours,

An objection was received from L.
G. Correa and others to the putting up
for lease in one tract of the Waiohuli
and Keokeo lands on Maui. The ap-
plicants asked for the cutting up Of
the ten thousand acres into thousand
acre tracts, offering an upset rental of
$3.50 for each tract. No action was
taken, however, nor was any action
taken on the applications for home
stealing, the board not being sure just
what lands the would-be homesteaders
wanted.

Eighty years ago there was the same
agitation against immigration in New

that there is now in Hawaii. The ma
tive American worlllngman opposed the

reason for this is clear to a student of
economies. The rise in wages is not
due to immigration alone. it is true,
