are concerned, must be considered in

Hawaii Maui and Kauai.
In Honolulu. National Guard condi
tions more nearly approximate those
of the mainland, in that the men who
belong to the militia come from all
classes and represent variety OF
trades, professions and businesses
They are recruited as individuals, and
their officers as rule see little OF
nothing of them between drill periods
On islands other than Oahu, how.
ever, conditions are vastly different
Most of the companies are recruited
from plantations so that each com
pany is a unit within a unit, consider

istrative whole. The officers are in
most cases picked from those in au-
thor.ty on the plantation affected, sc
that it is much simpler matter to
keep in close touch with the men, and
supervise their attendance at drills,
and their general attention to military
matters
Plantations Are Converted

Hawaii has been pointed to as a
model to be followed, and the patriot

something of this work. the planta-
tons on the Island of Hawaii have
been taken as an example. During
the five years ended June 30. 1915,
some Of the principal things accomp.
lished were as follows:
Buildings torn down ..... 1895
Buildings altered ...., 1892
Buildings constructed -. 5,425
Windows put in ........ 1888
Cement floors in wash or

Major nuisances abated -. 1882
Miner nuisances abated :. 1870
THE sanitation work on the other
islands has gone on well, but was
started a year later than on Hawaii.
What effect have these improved
sanitary conditions had on the health
of the county Of Hawaii? The death
rate on Hawaii in 1912 was 51.S1 per
1000, in 1916, 14S. Figuring on a
basis of $1,000 population for the
county of Hawaii this means a saving
of 112 lives last year. Take also the
deaths from typhoid fever, disease
largely due to filth and insanitary
conditions, and we find that in 1901
the deaths from typhoid on Hawaii
were 81; 1855 the deaths from
typhoid on Hawaii were z. reduction
Of ~ per cent; on Maui for the same
periods the deaths from this. disease
were 8 and 2. a reduction Of rs per
cent, while on Kauai they were and
2, so per cent reduction.
Wipins Out Disease
Before this sanitary work began
typhoid epidemics on Laupahoehoe
Sugar Company and Olaa, Hawaii
Maui Agricultural and Hawaiian
Commercial e Sugar Company, Maui,
and Makaweli Kauai, were of frequent
occurrence. With a still further inn
provement in sanitary conditions and
the use Of typhoid vaccine this disease
could be almost entirely wiped out.
It is hoped that the time is not far
distant when the use of typhoid
will become as universal
as the use of smallpox vaccine. You
all believe or should believe in pre-
naredness. Here is chance for you.
Be prepared. Take typhoid vaccine
and prevent typhoid If you do II,
others will do it and it will soon be-
come, not only an individual but a
practise.
The shrewd business or profes-
sional man considers lie insurance a
good investment and does not be-
grudge the premiums You can put
it down as fact that potable water,
sewers, sanitary plumbing. sanitary

and rat determination and
typhoid prophylaxis are among the
cheapest life assurances that can be
obtained. Lumber used to construct
sanitary toilets viii never be used

What Convention Can Do
1T Is taken for granted that one of
the objects the directors Of this con-
yention had in view when they re-
quested this paper was to find out
what this convention could do both col.

Physicians are baffled by st. Vitus'

which they can find nothing actually
wrong with the nervous system.
Long before the child becomes awkward
and begins dropping things there is a
period in which the appetite is tickle and
the patient is tired and listless. The
jerking movements characteristic of the
disease come much later.

THE ENTENTE'S GROWING
SUPERIORITY.

The concerted attack by 65 air ma

and Belgium--have been busying them.
selves in making extensive preparations
in the line of air equipment and that
they have at last secured feet suffi-
eient to make determined assault. 1t
is not to be presumed that the 65 aero
planes and seaplanes which engaged in
the attack of March 20 represented the
strength of the three allies in that de-
partment because a large number of
aeroplanes must have been retained for
accommodating purposes on the extended
battle front while large number, too,
must have been kept in England in order
made by the Germans. 1t would not be
at all surprising if the combined air
of the three allies far exceeds
the German and Austrian equipment for
the same kind of service, whereas a year
ago it was generally conceded that the
central powers, Germany in particular,
had a preponderance of air machines.
Thus in air, as well as on the sea, the
central powers are in second position. 1t
has long been known that the entente
allies outnumbered the central powers on
the land, although the Germans had the
superior equipment in guns. Now the
allies are bringing their great
hordes of men into fighting shape and at
the same time the great gun equipment
is being brought to par with that of
Germany. Indeed, the new French ISIS
are said to be fully as destructive as the
greatest hurlers of death which the Ger
mans possess. The fighting before Yer
dun over the past month shows that the
French guns are able to match the heav-
lest German cannon when il comes to |
The point of trench warfare. In all four |
departments of war, therefore, the en-

lscendancy, in addition to which is the

GARDENING ENCOURAGED.
Many Barre People Got New Ideas from
Morris Funds Talk

Under the auspices of the civic depart.
ment of the Barre Woman's club, Nor
| ris Fund OF New York delivered a lee
ture on Gardening" in Rowland hall last
evening. Mr.. Fund is man who has
had something like twenty-five years of
practical experience in gardening and
showed, both by his talk and by his
ready and explicit answers to questions,
that he was thoroughly informed on al.
most any branch OF his subject.
Mrs. Alvin Gates, president OF the club,
introduced the speaker Mr. Funds talk
dealt more especially with flowers as one
branch OF a subject too large to be ham
died with justice in talk of the length
of time which he was able to use last
evening. Flowers said the speaker, are
like children; to appreciate them we
must not only love and understand them,
but we must watch them grow up from
a seed until they finally die, We cannot
say that we love flowers il we do not
care for them and attend to their wants
regardless of our own convenience. He
went on to explain the impossibility of
an amateur understanding how to order
an ordinary seed catalogue and showed
up clearly many of the misleading state
ments found in these books. He re-
ferred the audience TO book gotten out
by himself and written for the express
benefit of the man who knows nothing
about flowers
The hardy flowers were the ones dealt
with more especially last evening, and
the speaker explained the various meth
DDS of starting them, the proper method
IF planting the seed, of protecting the
seedlings, the time for planting, and the |
manner of dividing the roots and caus-
ng the plants to multiply many fold. !
Methods of treating soil to make it suit |
ible for the raising of particular species
we're given with description of common |
troubles of the amateur, the disease most !

or these. Everything was explained in
common sense manner and in way
which could be understood by anyone,

pecial note was the use of leaf mould

hat no leaves should be burned when
ne ton of the leaf mould is worth more

manure.
A plant generally unknown and called

or steep banks and shady places where

lany valuable hints in regard to prun-
1g, the killing of various worms and
Insects were given at the close of the
,cture in the form of answers to ques-
ions from the audience. Mr.. Fund, him
elf, suggested questions where none were
olunteered from the hall and in this
'ay paved the way for others which
ould otherwise not have been men

lore flowers in front of houses to the

THE AEROPLANE IN OUR MEXICAN
EXPEDITION.

The military aeroplane is likely to
prove its worth in the present punitive
expedition into Mexico by American
troops in pursuit of the elusive Villa.
As in the European war, too, the chief
value of the aeroplane will be in recon
noitering and determining the location of
the enemy. The topography of the land
in northern Mexico is such as to lend it.

lively small number of men, provided
the searchers were to be dependent en-
tirely upon their observations from the
ground, or from such lofty eminences as
they were able to reach; but in the use
of aeroplanes it is possible for the ad-
vance parties of the expedition to hover
over wide area of territory at no great
height and thus to search out the noun
tain passes and other places more in
