TYPHOID DRINKING WATER

One Of the greatest dangers Of the
summer vacation is the summer ty-
phoid. People In the cities or else
where where the quality Of their
drinking water Is unquestionable.
and where some attention ia paid to
the matter OF flies, fall ready victims
to summer or vacation typhoid when
they 60 to our various summer re-
sorts, where the sewage and drinking
water are too closely related, and
where the flies and food are intimate
ly associated. Either of such c0mbi-
nations IL a dangerous proposition.
No one knows just how much OF our
water or how much Ia due to flies.
Now, as to the water question, II
there is the slightest doubt as to
the quality Of the water, the follow
ing simple remedy will make 1t
safe. Get q one-pound metal can OF
chloride Of lime, or bleaching powder.
Take level teaspoonful OF the
powder and q few drops OF water,
and make thin, smooth paste In .
teacup. Then dilute this paste with
four cupfuls OF water. Place this
stock solution in clean, stopper.d
bottle and keep corked tight This
Is enough to disinfect $50 gallons Of
water. Use teaspoonful OF this
stock solution to two gallons Of water
Stir well, and use In from quarter
| to half an hour. II the water has q
slight odor OF chlorine, use slightly
less OF the stock solution. Find
out how much stock solution 1t takes
| to give slight odor to the water,
then use about one-fourth less than
that quantity necessary to produce
odors.
Water thus treated Ii absolutely
harmless. The chloride Of lime 10
consumed by the water in ten or fiji
teen minutes, and even II 1t were
not, in such small quantities It would
be harmless.
i Fresh stock solution should be
made eye.y three or four days. and
il the powdered lime should be kept In
a tightly closed can.
i There Is little excuse for flies, ev'

practical damage done by flies Is In

Would Tax Women

That bill proposing a tax on
women who are drawing salaries
from government sources, should
be pushed for all its worth. When
one takes into consideration the
fact that many a laborer on our
plantations who draws even less
than a dollar a day and yet has
to pungle up that poll tax, and
then think of the scores of women
with no oiie to support, receiving
from forty to one hundred and
fifty dollars per month and who
never pay bean toward the sup
port of government, the justice of
the proposed bill is apparent. Some
will say. but we cannot vote,
why should we be taxed?" To all
such, we will say that the Tapa-
nese and all others who enjoy the
blessings Of residing i n Uncle
Sans domain, must paw this tax,
regardless of the fact that he is
or is not voter. A Japanese who
comes here from Japan cannot ever
become citizen, yet he must pay
the tax, many being held up t
steamer docks on the eve of their
departure for Japan, and compell-
ed to pony UP back taxes" hav-.
ing in some way or another, evad-

No, my girlies, in your strenuous

travels, he had not met with such
hospitable and kind people. He
was surprised to see our excellent
roads, too. Said he was really SUR
prised to see any roads at all.

all think you are semi-savages
here, and many Of my friends
cautioned me about the outside
islands, saying that this was where
Captain Cook was killed and eaten.
Iwish h I might take this island
home with me and convince those
ginks that there never was a
prettier spot in the world than
that beautiful Hanalei valley"

uai's paper, too, but Ye Editors
modesty will not allow him to
toot his horn to that extent as to

kauai PROD|GAL
FROM SAMOA

Leaving home more than thir-
teen years ago, following a boyish
impulse to see the world, Henry
Christian, brother of Charlie Chris
tian, head luna for the Hanamau-
lu plantation, and a son Of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Christian,
has returned to his old home to
claim his portion of the estate left
to the Christian heirs.
Young Christian, in deciding to
shuttle for himself, chose the
sailor life. His ambition brought
him rapid advancement, until he
finally became commando o {
nifty little coast-wise vessel in the
copra trade among the Samoan
group. AT first, like all good hoys,
he resolved to either write home,
or retdrn with fortune. But he
was also, like m any another
lad-t o busily engaged IL his
new surroundings to observe the
flight of time. Weeks heightened
into months. months into years,
and the boy had grown into man
hood with but vague ideas of his
one time happy Hawaiian home.
At one time he found time to write
his parents, but if they ever re-
ceived the letter, there was n o
evidence of it, and they went
their graves, simultaneously, in
the belief that their boy had pre-
ceded them TO that land where
separation is no more.
This belief was shared by the
relatives S we'll, until through
fhe untiring efforts of the Rev.
Hans Isenberg, who, on following
faint clue, located the Young
man in Samoa. The great difficulty
in locating him was due to the
fact that all men are known in So
moa by their first name only, and
had it not been for the aid of the
German Consul, his whereabouts
would have remained a mystery.
Mr.. Christian started home i'm
mediately upon receipt Of Mr..
Isenberg's s communication. Arriv-
ing i n Honolulu, h e forthwith
sought the public schools where
he still expected to find brothers
and sisters as he had seen them
before his disappearance. Strangely
enough, he was disappointed, for
the same little girls and boys whom
he had last greeted as such, were
now grown-ups, with little rosy
checked cherubs of their own.
The returning prodigal express
ed himself as greatly surprised at
the most wonderful changes on
Kauai since he left, and while he
thinks Samoa is a pretty good
place, he says he is tickled to
death to get back home. He will
probably become an employe of
the Hanamaulu plantation when
he is sufficiently recovered from
his long sea voyage.

cane, and 5000 from Gay & Ro-
binson cane, total Of 25,292 5
tons.
I he manager expresses h S
doubts as to the correctness of the
estimate of 1000 tons of sugar
which Gay & Robinson have made
for their 1913 crop, adding that he
hoped they would make it. but
that he feared they had not left
sufficient margin O cover h e
damage done by the drought.
The 1914 crop is said to be in an

bring off 5000 acres of rattoons.
A new bonus system has been
put into effect by the plantation
the first payment of which was
made on the November pay day.
The average price of sugar during
the year was 4,1919 per pound.
On this basis the bonus was fgur-
ed out. A large number of the en-
ployes had worked the required
time and were entitled to a greater
amount than was expected.

Sunday Ball Bill

The bill presented to the present
legislature which has for its aim
the exclusion of Sunday baseball
is one which should be anihilated
without ceremony and inferred in
Potter's field. The report that w
J. Sheldon had fathered such bill
was due to the fact that discus
sion Of same was entered into by a
number of prominent Hawaiians
who gave as their reasons r
supporting the bill, that the Sun
day baseball had a general de-
teriorating eff ect on Hawaiian
Church and Sunday School work.
Mr.. Sheldon it seems merely re-
mark about his views in the mat
ter, with no intention whatever in
giving the bill his support as a
legislator. / is a well known
fact that the two years baseball
series which Kauai has experienced
has added materially to the con-

MakaweI's Report

According to Manager Baldwin S
annual report of t h Hawaiian
Sugar Co., of Makaweli, the past
year has been one of the driest in
the history of that plantation. A
drouth which covered a period of
many months and which was not
broken until in December, is re-
ferred to in the managers report
Milling of the 1912 crop began
Nov. IS, 1911, and the mill closed
down on August 7, 1912. The
managers estimate of 81, l39 tons
of sugar from the Company's fields
fell short 245.4 tons, while his
estimate of Gay & Robinson's fields
of 45l1 tons was exceeded by
1888 tons. so that OH the COM
bined crops, there was a shortage
of 97.O9 tons of sugar from the
estimates.
The plantation is reported as be-
ing on the whole, free from all
kinds of pests since the last re-
port. The technid fly, however,
is reported to be somewhat on the
increase. Harvesting of the 1913
crop began on November IL, 1912,
and grinding on the 13. A splendid
beginning was made on the new
crop, due to t he fact that the
factory had, during off season, re-
ceived a thorough overhauling.
This crop is said to be the one
which was suffered most from tie

Others Get In Line

1t will be remembered that while
Secretary Fisher was on his tour
OF investigation here, that the Eve
ming Bulletin howled its head off
about the great work he was &C.
complishinR. In fact about the
only two papers that did not GO in
to a mushv, mushy fit over what
the investigator was doing, and
which were not afraid to offer a
little criticism, were this paper and
the Crossroads Of the Pacific.
Now comes the Bulletin, with a
spasmodic little squibble, which
shows that its editor is beginning
to realize that the whole thing was
a grand, big farce.
Fisher was entertained bv those
who in many cases should have
been the subject of his investiga-
ton. He was whisked through
with only few minutes here and
there, and was not given time to
really find out what was under the
surface.
In Lihue, however, he did man.
age to rather embarrass," one of
our citizens, but that is as far as
he got. In Kapaa, he was met by
delegation of electmen, w h o
greeted him with hasty aloha,
after which he hurried on to Ha-
nalei, where according to prear-
rangement, a boat was waiting TO
hurry him back to Honolulu be-
fore he learned too much. This
was the investigation Kauai had at
the hands of this expert, and if our
readers have copy of this paper
which was issued about that time,
they will see that we were not con-
vinced of any sincerity in Mr..
Fishers investigation in so far as
this island was concerned. And
now h Bulletin S following
suit. Though rather late in the
day. 1t is better than never.

"Bil' Steps Down And Out

time as a guest of the Whitehouse,

t h i s morning. 1t is said that
Billie made hosts of friends during

but that after all, he yielded to the
ever present desire to hike back to

him. If the newest arrival at the
Whitehouse does not make better
record than his predecessor, it
might be better to amend that bill
before the house providing for a
six year term of Office for our pre-
sidents. Had the United States
been represented by the right sort
of a president, Mexico would have
had her deserts many moons ago,
and many of the American lives
which were sacrificed t o satisfy
the frenzied crowd of murderers.
would have been spared. The bill
now pending, which calls for the
annexation of lower California and
the Mexican state called Sonora,
will probably precipitate war be-
tween the two countries, providing
the bill passes. If this is the case,
then every congressman owes it to
the country to annex the additional
territory. They need lesson, and
if the United States does get start
ed, they will probably get a lesson
which they are not likely to soon
forget.
