Here and there was a young patriot
so anxious to get to France for q
whack at the foe that he laughed ex-
ultantly and even Dragged about his
number being among the earliest
drawn. There is even one record In
stance of a man who wanted so to be
conscripted and was so sure he would
be that he had made a bet that his
number would be the first one out of
the globe at Washington. With the
odds 1O,499 to 1 against him he won.
His number was 25S. He threw up
his hat and went home to break the
good news to his father. This man,

AS a result Of the drawing every
registered man is given a definite place
in the liability for service list. AL

LAST CHAPTER In INNES
MURDER CASE IS WRITTEN

Atlanta, Ga August 25.-The last
chapter in the strange disappearance
of the famous Nelms sisters of Atlanta,
whose case created a nationwide SEN
sation few years ago, when Ida May
Innes, wife of Victor Eff Innes, went
from Atlanta to the Georgia state
prison farm at Milledgeville, where she
arrived yesterday to begin serving a
three-year sentence on the charge of
larceny after trust.
Her husband the celebrated Port
land, Oregon, lawyer who seemed to
exert a sort of hypnotic influence over
women, is now serving a sentence of
seven years on the Fulton county CON
yict gang on the same charge, he and
his wife having been tried separately
When Lois and Beatrice helms went
to San Antonio three years ago, they
dropped out Of sight as completely as
il the earth had opened and swallow
ed them. Innes and his wife were
tried in San Antonio on a charge of
murder, being accused of killing the
girls in their cottage and disposing of
the bodies by mutilation and acid.
They came clear because the prosecu>
ton could not produce the bodies or
any trace of them.
Innes and his wife were brought
back to Atlanta and tried in the Full
ton superior court on a charge of lar
ceny after trust for their successful
Vaccinations in separating Lois helms
from her money and property. Fol-
lowing the conviction of Innis, he APP
pealed his case and the supreme court
turned him down, Mrs Innes was
then tried and convicted. The begin
ming of her sentence was deloyed more
than year pending an examination
into her physical condition, it being
claimed that she had tuberculosis.

DEATH OF FORMER
L|HUE TEACHER

j. B. Alexander, formerly prin-
cipal of the Lihue school, wasfound
dead in his bed at his home in
Honolulu last Tuesday morning.
OF the death of Mr.. Alexander a
city paper said:
John Brown Alexander, we'll
known Honolulan and resident Of
the islands for many years, was
found dead in bed at his home on
Wilder avenue this morning, death
having been due to apoplcxy. He
is survived by a widow, residing
here, and other relations in Scot
land. The funeral services were to
be beld at 4 o'clock this afternoon

1858, and was 64 years old. He
was trained in the University of
Edinburg for the ministry and was
ordained a minister of the Presby-
terian church. He came to Hawaii
about 10, years prior to 1889 as a
school teacher, being assigned first
to Kilauea and later to Lihue, Kau-
al. He married at Lihue, his wife
having come to the islands as a
governess.
Through thrift and wise invest
ments he amassed modest fortune
in his early days here and died a
comparatively wealthy man. He
was profound scholar, particularly
learned in Latin and Greek. In
recent years he spent much time in
the study of Egyptian hioroplyphics.
He had recently returned to Homo
lulu from a tour of Europe" "

fore the Senate but the chances OF
having it adopted are slim. In fact
it is possible the entire bill will fail
of passage for notice has been
served on the Senate by Senator
Kenyon, of Iowa, that he intends
fighting it, and will offer in its stead
resolut on authorizing the expen-
diture by the War Department of
the blanket sum of S22, 100000 to
carry on projects upon which work
has been commenced. The bill, as
reported to the Senare, carries ap-
propriations aggregating 500, ,000,- =
0O0, of which at least one-third is
designated by Senator Kenyon and
others who will oppose the bill, as
"pork". In view Of the short
period remaining of the session and
the congested condition of legisla-
tive business it will not be a very
difficult task to defeat the bill or,
at least, to scale it to blanket sum
of about 100000 as proposed
by Kenyon. Should Kenyon be
successful the item in the bill for
the improvement of Honolulu har-
Dor would also fail.

ADV|CES Of THE
BOARD OF HEALTH
Communicated By The Anti-Tuber-
culosis Bureau.)

culosis Bureau.)
Systematizing health work in the
schools has been a prominent fea-
ture of board of health activities
during this fiscal period and has
brought to light number of fea-
lures requiring attention which were
previously more or less ignored be-
cause of circumstances. Additional
funds and additional staff has made
possible great deal of new work
that has borne fine results even in
the short period in which. it has
been in effect.
Thus for instance the board of
health has secured figures concern
ing what has been called an insight
fcant ailment, known as Porto Ri
can itch, which is common in the
schools. A good many of the CEN
ters of the trouble have been locat-
ed and special efforts made to con-
troll it with excellent success.
Porto Rican itch is a disease caus-
ed by a small insect which lodges
under the skin, and which is ex-
tremely contagious. In spite of the
insigni6cance of the ailment when
it starts it has serious consequences
if not treated and sometimes leaves
scars such as does a modified small
poX. 1t is not necessarily disease
of filth, but its spread is helped by
conditions where bathing facilities
are poor. The insect causing the
trouble is not partial to baths and
personal cleanliness and the proper
medication wipes it out in a short
time. 1t is usually confined to places
where people sleep in crowded
quarters such as iails, boarding
schools and barracks but will go any
place where similar conditions per-
nit.
1t usually commences between the
fingers and spreads up the arms
being noted most on all exposed
surfaces with the exception of the
face. The itching caused by it in
creases at a change of temperature,
when the insects commence to move
about under the skin and set up an
irritation. Scratching follows and
results in ugly scars, eczema or even
in some cases blood poisoning.
The proper washing of all clothes
coming in contact with the body
and an avoidance of persons who
have the itch or who are exposed to
it will soon relieve any victim.
There is a nurse or doctor available
in almost every school in the terri
tory to whom any school child
should be taken upon contracting
the itch, more particularly as UNI
der the law no child can attend
school who has it and who is not
under treatment.
The board OF health recently
found Porto Rican itch 50 serious in
