THE Mediterranean, the West In

but these islands excel the world" is
the tribute paid Hawaii by H. c. Hen

founder of the Anti-Tuberculosis
league of Seattle. Wash, and hea rttS
endorsed by Mr.. A. b. Stewart, who Is
in the wholesale drug business In Sc
attic, and also a traveller Of note.
Speaking in behalf Of their party,
staying at the Moana hotel since their
arrival on the Matsonia two weeks
ago, the gentlemen quoted declare
no account can be too glowing to ex-
press their full appreciation az Ha-
waits charm. Aside from the fascfrla-
ton Of Hawaiian scenery and the en-
joyment of an equable climate, they
are sgreeably surprised at the up-to-
dateneSs of Honolulu, such as her ho-
tel accommoda tons and the news ser.
vice Of the daily papers. Tourists re-
turning to the mainland are rapidly
overcoming the, prevalent idea that
Hawaii is isolated and behind the
times. declare the travellers, and they
predict greater tourist influx than
ever when the present turmoils of war
are over. ...:.
I'VE were glad to come, are delight

philanthropic work. Among his prac-
tical benefactions Is the AndTubercu-
losis hospital situated 10 miles from
Seattle. The progress made in the
eradication of the white plague is very
great, according to Mr.. Henry. King
county quarters have grown in three
years from a group Of tents sheltering
80 to a modern hospital with splendid
accommoda atoms for 200 patients. Elk

nurses who Yisit the homes through

Mr.. Henry believes Honolulu could
support an antttuberculosis league
