MANILA SANE
ON BANANAS

A Manila lady returning by the
Mongolia says that they are not much
troubled with mosquitoes in that
town, but when a flock makes its
appearance the householders in the
neighborhOod are regarded as person
ally responsible, AID they lose no
time in hunting for the breeding
places, which are either destroyed or
properly oiled. A feeling of pride re-
garding mosquitoes makes people
vigilant and careful, with beneficial
results for the whole city.
When asked whether bananas are
allowed, she replied that Honolulu's
frantic excitement and action in the
matter of banana plants were the
cause of much amusement at our ex,
pense.
Banana trees are abundant in Ma
lnila," she said, and no one objects
to them in any way, and the health
Officers are exceedingly vigllant."

tious cases. Even layman can APP
preciate the importance to the COM
munity Of having a hospital where
operations can be conducted with a
certainty that the risk of infection to
the wound from other patients does
not exist 1t is sufficient, however,
for the trustees to say that the medi-
cal staff are quite clear in their insist
ence on this feature.
The hospital also serves the COM
munity as a city infirmary and holds
itself in readiness to render first aid
free, in all cases of emergency and
accident. Our professional staff is
called on at all hours of the day and
night to afford this service.
For the benefit of members who
are not now residents of Honolulu, l
may state that the institution now
consists of three wings, somewhat in
the shape of an inverted THE main
entrance and offices being placed at
the center of the head. The lower
floors of the three wings are occupied
by nine wards for men, containing
eighty-fve beds. Coming to the Sec
ond floor, in the wing on the Waikiki
side, are five wards for women, con-
tanning twenty-siX beds. The second
floors of the mauka, or Bishop wing
and of the Eva side, or Pauahi wing
contain fifteen private rooms with
single beds. There is a third floor
to the Pauahi wing containing four
additional private rooms. The hos
pital has therefore fourteen wards
and nineteen private rooms, contain
ing a total of 100 beds.
The main operating room is on the
third floor of the Pauahi wing. The

In closing my report ! cannot re
frain from congratulating the hospital
on the faithful permanent staff which
they have. In Mr.. ]. f. Eckardt they
have the unique instance of man
who has served the institution through
a long period of development, and
whose keen interest in the place has
never tagged in spite of changing con
ditions. He has had the grace to work
faithfully under changing boards of
trustees-many times under difficult
circumstance ubordinating his own
opinions on many matters to the views
of the trustees. The hospital will
never have more faithful servant
1t is because sudden attack requir-
ing operation has prevented his being
with us annd making the customary
report, that | have enlarged on sta.
tistics in this report. | am sure that
you join me in expressions of thank
fulness that he is making such a good
recovery from the painful operation
he has had to undergo.
In the anxiety and strain of caring
for the lives of those who come to
them for help, physicians and nurses
must oftentimes become weary and
overweight with the sight of suffer
ing and the very monotony of an al
ways recurring routine of work. 1t is
for us who-while responsible for the
conduct of the hospital-are removed
from its drudgery ana professional
anxiety, to encourage them with the
assurance of the gratitude of com
munity and with the uplifting
thought that their work, faithfully and
with sympathy accomplished, enables
+ them to follow more closely than
most of us along the path that in this
, life was trod by the Great Physician
r. Give DAVIES.

STOCK DIVIDEND
RUMOR OF OAHU

The sudden activity of Oahu sugar
shares during the past few days seems
to be explained by an apparently well
| founded rumor on the street that a
stock dividend of $4,000 will be de.
clared by the directors of the company
at meeting to be held this afternoon.
Last week the stock was selling gen
orally under 80 and was rather quiet.

be said that the working of the
, monthly meetings of the staff has
been satisfactory, and / suggest that
the president of the hospital should
in the future be invited by the medi.
cal staff to attend their meetings in
order to maintain a contact between
the trustees and their medical staff.
Change in Board Of Trustees-Dur-
ing the year Mr.. North resigned, TO
our very great regret, and Mr.. Won
Holt took his place upon the board
Resident Staff-Dr. Troutman re.
tired from the position of house ply
stefan, and on May II. 1911, DR.. J..
NJ Thompson was promoted from the
post of inferno to be house physician.
In July DR.. e. Beasley Joined the hos
pital staff as first inferno. For it
was found necessary, in order to
meet the requirements of the operat-
ing room and of the visiting doctors,
to provide a second inferno. To this
position DR.. A. Bowen was appointed
in August
Miss l.. A. Sax, the head nurse,
having completed her year left the
hospital at the end of last August,
and Miss S. G. Parish succeeded to
the position There have naturally
been various changes in the person
mel of the nursing staff during the
year.
Grounds-During the year the hos
pital acquired for the sum of $500 the
lot on Miller street belonging to the
Hawaiian board The acquisition of
these premises enables the hospital
to control what has frequently been
a noisy nuisance to the patients-es-
pecially as it is so close to the Pau
ahi wing. It leaves other lots, how
ever, on each side which should also
be placed under the hospitals con-
troll.
The Beretania street front was i'm
proved by curbing the sidewalk and
laying down a cement pavement with
grass border. At the same time the
fence was removed, leaving the hibis-
Gus hedge to act as screen. BY
arrangement with the superintendent
of public works, in consideration of
this improvement, we were allowed
to pipe water without extra charge
over the portion of the grounds front
ing on Luso street. This area was
without grass on it owing to lack of
water. We are now proceeding with
grass planting, which will make that
part of the grounds more slightly.
The nurses tennis court has been
reconstructed at an expenditure OF
1885. On the drives we have expended
the sum of ST.. Part of this was
necessitated by the change in the
buildings referred to later, whereby a
new main entrance to the hospital was
provided The new location of the
drive from Vineyard street directs
traffic in a way which we hope viii
lessen the discomfort to patients from
the noise and fumes of thoughtless
carriages and motor cars which form
erly drew up so close to the Pauahi
wing. Practically all the drives have
now been put into frst-class condi-
ton.
Building ImproVements.-During the
greater part of the year the hospital
has been very unpleasant place for
our professional staff and nurses, for
there has been a great deal of altera

Immediately at the front entrance of
the hospital.
The resident staff consists of the
superintendent, Mr.. J. F. Eckardt; the
house physician, DR.. ]. M. Thompson,
and two assistant doctors; the head
nurse, the housekeeper, and staff
of fifteen nurses These, together
with an office assistant, and the hos
pital attendants, bring the total num-
Der of employees up to fifty-one.
During the twelve months to De-
cember 81 last, there were admitted
to the hospital 1872 patients, while
1882 were discharged. The highest
number of inmates for the year oc-
Cured during February, being ninety
seven-the lowest for the year being
forty-seven, in August There were
337 major and 229 minor operations.
The figures l give are exclusive Of
patients applying for first aid at
tention of the surgeons, but not re-
quiring to be detained at the hospital
The total hospital days for the year
were 27,153. OF these it is interest
ing to note that 1851 were indigents
sent under contract with the county,
while 2034 represents free occupants
of endowed beds. Thus 40 per cent
were patients unable to pay for them
selves.
The average cost of each hospital
day for the year was 1927, while the
corresponding receipts were $1.95--a
deficit of 80 cents for each hospital
day AS a matter of fact, the hos
pital has had to fall back on its in
come from endowments to the extent
of SS655 in order to pay its way dur
ing the year.
a comparison with the figures re-
ported last year shows an increase of
twenty-eight in the admissions. The
number has steadily increased every
year for the last four years. The
number of operations-major and
minor-was 1911, forty-seven more
than the previous year.
Trustees-The trustees have held
twelve regular and four special meet
ings during the year--a total of six
teen. The third Wednesday in the
month was adopted as the regular
meeting day.
Visiting Conmittees--A visiting com
mittee consisting of a trustee and two
members of the society has been APP
pointtd for each quarter, and has made
reports as to the condition in which
the institution was found
Medical staff-Four physicians, four
surgeons and two specialists are
elected annually to form the medical
staff, and they arrange a schedule for
the year, so that each acts for one
quarter, in turn. To the whole medi-
cal staff, however, the rules commit
the welfare of the hospital-to report
to the trustees anything requiring at
tention. The rules call for regular
meetings of the staff each month, and
that the chairman for the time being
should attend the monthly meeting
of the trustees and spbmit the report
of the staff for the month. At only
six of our regular meetings has the
medical staff been represented, and
while we thank these doctors for
their help in assisting thus to keep
up the observance of rules, it is
hardly satisfactory not to have the
staff always represented Nor can it
