The ratio of males to. females in the
United States as whole is about nor.
NAL, immigration accounting for n
slightly higher percentage of males.
This ratio does not vary widely from
decade to decade, and though figures
for 1910 for the whole country are not
mt hand, the proportion of males in the
total population is probably now about
the same as eleven years ago. A glance
at the percentage columns shows that
the excess of males in Hawaii, while
still about 10 per cent of the total
population greater than in the United
States as a whole, has considerably de-
creased (by about per cent of the
total population) since 1900, the num-
Der of males per 1000 falling from 69I
in 1900 to 642 in 1910. This excess is
found by the unnatural ratio of the
sexes among the Filipinos, Koreans and
whites Except Portuguese), the ratios
among the Hawaiians and Portuguese
being nearly normal. Separate figures
for the sex ratio of Chinese and Japan
ese in 1900 cannot be derived from the
published data of the twelfth census;
but the ratios for the two nationalities
combined is obtained, and shows fall
in the proportion of males from SOB per
1000 in 1900 to 40 per 1000 in 1910.
The proportion of women among the
Japanese is nearly 1912 per cent of
the total population greater than
among the Chinese; but the sociological
significance of this fact is modified by
the greater intermarriage between Chi
nese and Hawaiians. The proportion of
women among the Japanese is rapidly
approaching the proportion that at
present obtains among the American
and North European residents of the
Territory.
The equalization of the sexes is part
~ due to the increasing proportion of
young persons in the population of Ha-
wall, as among those under 81 years of
age the sex proportions are more near
ly normal than among adults. The in
creasing proportion of children of itself
constitutes progress towards stable So
eial conditions. which are the necessary
prelude to solution of the Territory s
present industrial and political prob
lens. Again. for purposes of COMPARE
son. figures for the United States in
1000 are given, together with partial
figures for the more important elements
of the Territorial population.

While in the United States in 1900,
462 out of every 1000 persons were un-
der 21 years of age, the same year in
Hawaii only 317 were under 81 The
number in Hawaii had increased how
ever, to 1856 in 1910. Among the Ha-
waiians in 1910, 419 of every 1000 were
under 81 years of age, and among the
Portuguese 5SS were minors to every
497 adults. The proportion of young
persons is smaller among the other eau
casians, but this is in part due to the
intermarriage of whites and Hawaii
ans. which accounts largely for the re-
markable percentage, 6S1, in 1000, of
young persons among the part-Hawaii
an population. Among the Chinese and
Japanese the proportion of young per
sons is still far below the normal,
though it has risen from 1873 to 300 per
thousand since 1900. The proportions
of the sexes are more nearly normal
among the other elements of the popu-
lation here reported than among the
Asiatics, possibly because more girls
are sent back to Asia than boys.
The proportion of native and foreign
born among the Chinese and japanese
shows significant changes since 1900.
The figures are as follows;
Native and Foreign Born.
Chinese, Hawaian-born. 1885, or 1872
per cent of those in Hawaii.
japanese, Hawaiian born, 1880, or
25 per cent of those In Hawaii.
This indicates that there are over
$4,000 Japanese in Hawaii who were
born after June, 1900. OF the 24,005
japanese residents of the Territory I'M
der p years of age probably less than
1900 are foreign born. 1t is not i'm
probable that by another census a ma
iority of the Chinese and Japanese re-
siding in Hawaii win be native born,
though a prediction of this sort may be
falsified by many unexpected inhu-
ences.
| In April 1907, the Heliopolis brought
2946 spaniards to Hawaii, and some
persons of this nationality arrived
with the Porto Riean and Portuguese
immigrants at other dates prior TO the
census of 1910 This census shows 1890
, spaniards In the Territory, or a net
lass exceeding ESQ In three years, over
the natural increase for that period

deaths.

WHY So WEAK?
Kidney Troubles May Be Sapping Your

Learned This Fact.

When healthy man or woman be-
gins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languid, de-
pressed, suffers backachc, headache,
dizzy spells and urinary disorders,
look to the kidneys for the cause of it
all. Keep the kidneys well and they
will keep you well: Doan's Kidney
Pills cure sick kidneys and keep them
well. Here is Mankato testimony to
prove it.
Mrs. Jane Williamson, AS South
Fourth street, Mankato, Mimi, says:
"The public statement | gave in favor
of Doan's Kidney Pills nearly two
years ago still holds good, for / think
just as highly of this remedy as |
did then. A dull ache in my back, to-
gether with dizzy spells and headaches
made me weak and nervous and re-
sisted all my efforts for relief until |
used Deans Kidney Pills, procured
at John c. Thro's drug store. The
great benefit l derived from this prep
aration convinced me of its merits and
as l have been in good health since
then, my opinion of this remedy has
been strengthened"

Mr.. SLEUTH WAS MISTAKEN
Waseca Young Lacy Had An. Expert.
ence While in Minneapolis.

A popular young lady of this
city had an interesting experience
in Minneapolis one day last week,
says The Waseca Journal While on
the train going into the city she no.
ticed q man staring sharply at her
and after she had left the depot in
Minneapolis and was walking up u
street this same man accosted her
and asked her if she did not live in
Faribault. The young lady mentally
put the fellow down as an extremely
bold type of masher and Indignantly
stated that she did net reside in
Faribault, fact which the man did
not appear quite willing to believe
as he pulled aside his coat display
ing detectives badge and inform
ed the startled girl that he was a
plain clothes man detailed by police
headquarters to locate Miss Kathryn
Morgan who had mysteriously dis
appeared from her home in Fari-
bault. He stated that the descrip-
ton given of Miss Morgan tailed
exactly with the girls appearance
and that he would be forced to ask
her to accompany him to police
headquarters to prove her identity.
While he was talking, Miss Waseca
beckoned to q policeman across the
street and she did little 'identi-
flying herself, the policeman as
surfing her that the man was a de-
tective. She then entered into the
humor of the situation and accom-
panied the detective to police head
quarters, where she proved that she
was not the lady sought after. AT
that the only thing that let her out
was the color of her eyes. The de-
scriptiOD of Miss Morgan's height,
weight, features and complexion tai
lied exactly with our Waseca girl,
but the latter happened to have
blue eyes (and well digress from
our story to the extent of saying
that they're pretty ones, too,) while
the description accredited Miss Nor
gan with possessing a pair OF brown
lamps. The title of this tale ought
to be Saved BY Her Eyes or How

COST OF KEEPING POOR
Figured That Cost Is S1.44 Pc
Week: Some Statistics

FIGURED mat Cost is S1.44 Pei
Week; Some Statistics.
The Mapleton Enterprise has this
to say of the Blue Earth county
poor farm:
I'm view of the recent investiga
ton of the cost of caring for the
county poor in one of. our northern
counties, where it was shown tha
the cost was SIP per week per pa
tient, it is in striking contrast tC
conditions in this county where the
average cost the past year of carina
for the unfortunate was but $144
per week. This does not mean that
the poor in this county have not
been well cared for. On the contrary
they have most excellent home
with the best of food and good
warm house in which to live and q
superintendent who works early and
late to make their lives us pleasant
as possible.
THE secret of the low cost in this
county is the fact that the farm
upon which the home is located
which consists of 100 acres has been
made to produce crops which have
brought returns of S1,1S096, saying
nothing Of the amount consumed on
the place. The crops raised consist
ed of thirty-one acres of wheat which
yielded 1920 bushels; nine acres of
oats, 60 bushels; seventeen acres
corn, 1,2O0 bushels; five acres Of DO
tatCes, 500 bushels; one acre pump
kins, fifty loads; one-half acre OF
squash. eight loads; three-fourths
acre melons, ten loads. But sixty
five acres Of the farm is under cul-
tivatiOn. Some stock is also kept.
including seven mich cows and
twelve hogs. In the poultry line
they have $50 chickens, five geese
and five turkeys.
"Of the twenty-five inmates now
on the farm the average age is sew.
enty-four years; one has reached
ninety. one eighty-six ard two eighty.
five, there being twelve eighty years
or over and of this number six are
blind. The youngest inmate is forty
one, a feeble-mindcd woman.
TO care for these unfortunates
$3.50 was paid for hired help; cloth.
ing and food was purchased to the
amount of $1,511.77. The total ex-
pense, including the salary of the
superintendent, amounted to $2,791.77,
against which there is the credit of
the produce sold, amounting to ST.
lSO.96, leaving the cost net $1,610S1.
we doubt if any other county in
the state can make u more credit.

ty commissioners have every reason
to feel proud"

Mr.. Scherer said that he might be

the day of specialists. and the eyes

/ Dr.. HOlbrOOk said that this would

were SO plain that the teachers could

in the morning phone the Judge to
withhold the filing of his decision,
and await the arrival of the com

that while he could not so to Fart
