SIDEWALK ADS A NUISANCE
Not Only Offensive to the Eye But
Unpopular With Most Citizens
as Well.

Street and sidewalk advertising has
become SO general in many places
that public protest is being raised
against it on the score that it disiig-
ures a city It is bad enough to dis
figure the landscape in the country
1t is not so easy to disfgure city,
but 1t is nc less reprehensible. 1t is
more difficult to disfigure city, be-
cause as a rule there is but little
lbeauty in it TO be disfigured. But az
the City Beautiful idea grows there
is more effort to avoid those things.
some of them taken as matters of
course for several generations which
offend the artistic eye and the artistic
perception.
In Des Moines the chief of police
has put stop to sidewalk and street
advertising. Acting under authority
granted by an old ordinance which he
discovered, he has instructed his off
GERS to bring to the police station all
persons carrying advertising signs,
driving advertising wagons, or in any
way using the streets of the city for
disfiguring of the walks by chalk or
paint signs. The chiefs action fol-
lowed complaint entered by the Com
mercial club of the city. The streets
Of that city have been infested with
sandwich men, men on horseback and
other advertisers on the streets. They
are unmitigated nuisances in the
crowded streets of the business dis
trict. They impede traffic, and make
the streets of the city look like a
NANCY dog.
II the case is taken to court, 1t
will be interesting to note what the
final decision will be-
So far as merchants generally are
concerned. newspaper advertising and
signs on store fronts, supplemented
by window displays, will attract more
attention if the sidewalks are not
painted or chalked over, and If dis
tracing street and sidewalk displays
are not made.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Faintinq.

First aid treatment for faint
ing should consist in getting the
patient into an open air space as
quickly as possible, lowering the
head if the face be pale and rails
ing it if it be congested At the
same time the clothing must be
loosened from the neck to the
waist. 1t is absolutely necessary
that a free circulation of air be
had, so If there is none stirring
vigorous tanning helps consider
ably. If the patient is uncon-
scious give nothing by the
mouth. but If she is conscious
the sooner fluids are given the
better. Cold water in sips, cold
tea, hot coffee, cold milk and
warm beef tea are all useful, but
some stronger and more quickly
acting stimulant may be neces-
sary. Ammonia In the form of
sal volatile is the stimulant usu-
ally supplied in ambulance ham,
pers. A dose Of from five toithir-
ty drops of this salt in two ta-
Diespoonfuls of water is general
" effective, but d great objection
to It's use IS that it sometimes
causes vomiting, which is espe-
cially undesirable in one who is
already weak and exhausted.

Wong Sam, proprietor of the Now

related by captain of IOliee Kahana-
moku thus: @ . ~

ton tonight with blood in his eye and
wanted q warrant for the arrest Of
Wong Sam. 1t seems that he went TO
the iatter's restaurant and ordered a
sirloin steak for which he was charged
thirty-fiye cents. When the steak ar
rived the aroma arising from il was so
great that Hole demanded another
steak or his money back, The Chinese
refused to do either. He then wrapped
the steak in a paper and brought 1t To-
the police station. When the paper was
removed from the package the odor
that came from il was something ter
rible. / told him the best thing he
could do was to take the steak TO q
doctor and find out what was the mat
ter. Acting upon my advice he went
to Doctor Moore who examined the ar

Sam was arrested and later released
upon dePpsiting ten dollars hail. Judge
Monsarrat viii look into the merits Of
the case this morning. Hole went away
perfectly happy despite the fact that
a dinner he did not eat cost him two
dollars and tbirty-fve cents,
What makes the case look bad for
Wong Sam is the fact that there arc
no refrigerating facilities in the police
station and the steak Is now roppsing

CENT A POUND
TARIFF MAY Be
LEFT 4 WHILE
Word from Washington That
Proper Presentation of Facts
by Delegate with Tact viii Get
Period Of Grace for Sugar In
dustry.

That there still remains posi-.
bility Of shelving Of the free sugar
clause Of the present tariff, for al
least some years, is the cheerful
news that was received last week
by prominent Republican leader
IN Honolulu, In close touch with
the situation at Washington. This
news came through Republican
sources at the national capital, but
IL is supposed to voice the inner
sentiments Of Secretary Redfeld
and the President himself.
The word that comes to Homo.
lulu is this: If by the careful com
pilation Of statistics Of the Hawa-
iian sugar industry, with all the
facts given in all their phases, IL
can be shown that free sugar is
going to deal the industry as hard
a blow, or anything near as hard,
as is feared in Hawaii, and il
these statistics can be properly pre-
sented at Washington, the admin
istration will be inclined to favor
a suspension of the free sugar
clause for at least a period of
years, TO give the industry thor.
ough chance to adjust itself.
The Washington tip includes the
statement that II Is up to Hawaii
to elect . Delegate this year who
will not only have the ability to
present the statistics, but who will
be ON the job consistently to see
that full force is given to them.
The Delegate must be, also, some
one with tact enough not TO antag-
onize the administration, as was
done 10 Hawaii 8 cost when the
representative Of the planters Of
Hawaii attempted TO lobby against
the tariff bill. The Washington
correspondents takes IL for granted
that Hawaii will have sense enough
to elect Republican as a further
proof Of the Territory's dissatis
faction over the sugar tariff.
