congratulations. Mrs. Brewer has been
at the home since November, 1890, be-
ing the second inmate whose name was
enrolled on the register. She is in ex-
cellent physical condition considering
her advanced age and is able to per-
form many duties about the house.

Nearly Enough Landseeking
Peers from MotherIand to
Form House of Lords

LONDON, Eng, July 27.-The exo-
dus of British nobility to Canada con-
tinues, and there are enough peers
now settled in the Dominion to form
a House of Lords. The latest re-
cruits are the Hon. Gerald Ward,
youngest of the four brothers of the
Earl of Dudley, and Lady, Evelyn
Ward, the daughter of the Earl and
Countess of Erne. They have shaken
the dust of the old country from their
feet in favor of Ontario, where they
expect to engage in farming.
Last November the Duke and Ouch
ess of Sutherland took up large tracts
of land in Alberta and British Column
bia as part of the ducal scheme for
the purpose of encouraging English
and Scottish farmers to take up farms
where they may settle without the
sacrifice of their British citizenship
When on their holdings the Duke and
Duchess live in coy bungalow near
Brooks, Alberta.
Lord Somers, late of the Life
Guards, soon after taking up farming
in Ontario, was Joined by Lord and
Lady Hyde, his sister and brother-in-
law. Lord Leconfield's brother, Reg
inald Wyndham, is also trying his lot
as a settler. Other peers own large
holdings in Canada and spend a grea
deal of time in the Dominion looking
after their interests there.

While there have teen no serious
epidemics, yet during the year four
dangerous conditions have arisen,
namely, a case of yellow fever in the
city OF Honolulu; six cases Of plague
at Honokaa and kapulena, Island OF
Hawaii; twcnty-four cases Of scarlet
fever on the Island Of Maui, and DIRTY
two cases OF diphtheria on the Island
OF Kauai.
"Pnemonia caused 342 deaths; tub
erculosis 1868, enteric fever 80; teta-
nus IS; diphtheria II and scarlet fe-
yer 8.
The otal deaths from all causes
was 3,07l, or 225 less than the previ-
Gus year. On the basis of pOpula-
ton of 1871 ,909 this is at the rate of
1902 plus, per 1000 as compared with
1874 plus, the previous year. There
were 202 deaths in the Territory due
TO accident, violence suicide, etc. IL
these were deducted, the death rate
from disease alone would be much
less. There were, excluding still
births, l ,057 deaths in Honolulu which
would, on a basis Of 52,1S3 population,
make the percentage z0.255 plus. In
Honolulu there were SIS deaths due to
accidents, violence, etc.
Birth Rate Increase.
Reported births number 5,147, an
increase of 653 over the last period
and were divided as follows: Homo
lulu 1,430; Oahu outside Honolulu

There were 2,882 marriages, an
increase of GIG over the previous Pc

Mentioning the fact that the steam
ship Harpalion, which brought Portu-
guese and Spanish immigrants, was
quarantined for smallpox, and SINH
lar action on the steamship Willesden
which brought Immigrants affected
with diphtheria, scarlet fever and
measles. the report gives the follow
ing warning:
Immigration is already beginning
to have a bearing on the health sta
tistics Of Hawaii, particularly as re-
CARDS tuberculosis, leprosy and vari-
ola. While everyone recognizes the
necessity of immigration vet at the
same time it should be SO controlled
as to prevent the introduction of dis
eases of which We already have suf-
ficient number.
"One of the most important matters
carried on by the board has been the
campaign of education, and a great
deal of time has been devoted to this.
An earnest eort has been made to
arouse public and individual interest
in health and sanitation. Only
a beginning has made yet we hope.
to accomplish much more in the fu-

BIGGEST TREASURE VAULT
HOLDS TWO BILLIONS

. WASHINGTON July 27.-A steel
ribbed indestructible five-story vault
sunk in the earth beneath the United
States Assay Office in New York. and
capable of holding $4,000 GOO, 900 in
gold, is planned by Secretary Mac
Veagh, Of the Treasury Department.
This project the largest money v7Slt
in the world, requires the sanction of
Congress and has, already received a
favorable report from the House COM
mittee on approximation.
] Looking into the future, Secretary
MacVeagh believes the vault isaR nee
essity for the convenience and safety,
Of the Nations wealth. Gold is pllr-
chased by the United States Govern
ment at the rate Of S100,000,OO0 a
year. This treasure against which
gold certificates are issued, is distri-
buted the country over in the vaults
OF the treasury, subtreasuries, minis
and ASSAY offices. Within few
years, it is estimated the entire stor-
age capacity of these buildings Will
have been consumed.
If authorized, the big vault will be
erected under the proposed new front
portion of the Assay Office. 1t will
cost $4,000 while the building stand
ing over it will cost only S225.000.
Gold bullion, turned into bars, will be
piled in the structure like bricks.
while this storehouse could hold all
the governments gold at the present
time, it is not the intention to am"2s
it in New York. but to reserve tie
space for future hoardings

DEATH RATE Shows DECREASE
SAYS BOARD OF HEALTH REPORT
Dr. Pratt Reviews Work for Year and Declares Future Pre-
sents Many Problems to Be Solved in City of Honolulu
Mosquito Campagn-Rats and Mongoose

and sanitary means for the disposal
OF sewage. Throughout the entire Ter
ritory the conditions in plantation
camps are being improved and the
board greatly appreciates the assist
ance which the majority of managers
have given to the lettering Of sanitary
conditions. If the same advance had
been made by individuals in cities and
towns as has been made on planta-
tions, the death rate would have been
much les"
Discussing the mosquito campaign
in Honolulu; the report says, in part:
The work accomplished under the
Division Of Sanitation consisted of
139,305 inspections, including 507
places of standing water drained, 12J
places of standing water oiled, cess
pools oiled 2,96S, holes and low places
oiled or filled 1888; catch basins
treated 22S; swamps and ponds oiled,
Trained or filled 118; water barrels,
tubs, etc, screened or overturned,
1906; loads Of tin cans, bottles, etc,
removed SIT; places where mosquito
fish were distributed Al; gallons of
oil used 5,992; places where mosquito
Wrigglers" or larvae were found, $3.50.
This work was accomplished with a
force of twelve inspectors"
This much work was accomplished
During the period from November l.,
1911, to April l, 1912.
Rats and Moneoose Killed.
OF the rat campaign in Honolulu,
the reports says that 25,759 rats and
ESQ mongoose were trapped; $40 rats
were shot from trees; 291 killed by
sulphur dioxide and found dead. OF
this number 23,4O3 were examined
bacteriologically, with the result that
none were found infected.
In closing his voluminous statement
DR.. Pratt saws:
1.-THE work of the Department has
not been all smooth sailing yet on
the other hand it has been a source
of qualification that the public has
been so generally back of the efforts
of the Board of improve conditions:
The Board needs the cooperation of
the public to make effective the work
they are trying to do.
LAS to the future, there are many
problems to be solved, particularly in
the City of Honolulu. Tenement
house conditions, sewerage, garbage
disposal, new streets opened, wet agri-
culture, pig and duck ranches, milk
supply, and filling in of low and in
sanitary lands may be mentioned as
some of the most important. Most
of these will require some additional
laws but the most important work
will be the education of the public to
the necessity of these improvements.
A start has been made in this direc-
ton and will be continued, during the
coming year.
The appointment of sanitary en-.
gineer as member of the Board was
an advance in the right direction but
the engineering problems of the
board have increased so much that it
is planned to have a sanitary en-.
gineer employed regularly. Negotia,
lions are already under" way and it is
hoped they will be successful.
THE educational work will be car
ried on more extensively in the fu-
ture than during the past year."
