The Louisiana State Live Stock

The Louisiana State Live Stock
Sanitary Board has made remarkable
strides during the last six months to-
ward ridding the state of the fever
tick, but lack Of sufficient finances
with which to operate limited its ac-
tivities to few parishes and curtall
ed its possibilities for service mater
tally, according to report read by
DR.. S. p. Fowler, executive officer,
and secretary of the board, at a meet
ing held at Baton Rouge. Only rou-
tine business was transacted During
the last six months the board has dis
tributed 1.317,6S0 cubic centimeters
Of hog cholera serum, which approx
mates an annual total of $780, 900 Gu
bic centimeters, or an excess of 150,-
900 doses over the previous six
months.
The board has one of the most mod
ern, sanitary, fireproof serum plants
| in the country, and Louisiana is
among the very few states manufac,
| turing and distributing this product
in such bulk or at such low price
The board also has in operation a
modern electric, motor-driven bleed
ing and injecting appartus that does,
in one-third the time, the work here
tofore required six men to do Through
the use Of this appartus, the board
also is able to place two Of the force
into the field work, and to dispense
with the services of a trained labora
tory assistant.
In the seven parishes where sys
tematic tick eradication has been car
ried on, conditions are so gratifying
the release from quarantine of five
of these parishes was considered SC
riously, but it was deemed wiser Il
take no chances, and the quarantine:
will remain until all the infection
shall have been removed. These pal
ishes are: Caddo, East Baton Rouge
) East Felicianna, Richland, Tangips
Ioa, and West Feliciana. II is ey
! pected they will have been cleane
up thoroughly by the latter part @
; July. Failure on the part of the Ger
} eral Assembly to provide the neede,
, addition of $4,000 to $4,000 for tn
: eradication work, has restricted tn
: boards operations to twelve parishe:
and resulted in a serious setback, tn

Editor Honolulu ftar.BulIetin.
Sir: How much better II would be.
II people would give q word Of praise,
and appreciation. to q person teither
IN public life or prfyatel while they
are living, instead OF waiting until they
have passed away, and then give all
the honors that are cue them. We
often read in the daily papers kicks
about the police force and the detective
force They are said to be brutal to
one, and wiz do nothing for another,
and 30 II goes. Very seldom do we
read OF q word Of praise from citizens.
And We al know they are certainly
deserving. at times at least. How can
q person holding q public position
enter into his duties with his whole
soul when he finds himself contin-
pally criticized by the public.
The words of appreciation In this
letter are directed to Chief OF Detec-
tiyes McDuffie and his efficient force.
They act quickly and accomplish re-
suits. For instance, five minutes, eE
actly, after he was notified to send
men to the notorious disorderly

street tKalihi) there were there in
force And the result was the patrol
wagon was filled to capacity, so. great
was the haul. The second raid which
was made on the same places, just
two nights later, had the desired re-
suit, and was accomplished In the
same quick manner. Now, what more.
can people want? Let your. COM
plants be known, and Chief McDus.
ually criticized by the public?
Suffice US to say the Hon. Judge
and Prosecuting Attorney do the rest
by their gallant words, and severe
sentences prove they do all possible
to do away with this vice.

4 WASTE THAT CAN BE ELIMINATED.

AT least five hundred cakes Of ice we're wasted
this morning. said an observant citizen passing
along Merchant street about 8 O'Clock. He pointed
to the melting ice lying around on the sidewalks
at half dozen spots within eyesiew.
Here il something the food commission might
have taken up, because it happens every holiday and
has happened ever since have been getting ice in
Honolulu. On holidays the ice is delivered to the
shops and Offices just the same and half of the cakes
are not put into the coolers They just lie around
and melt, usually on the sidewalk II on holidays
the ice were given to poor people who really need it
this hot weather, it would be of some use to the
city,
And this suggestion could be easily carried out If
the icemen, making deliveries the day before holi.
days. would determine what customers downtown
didn't want their ice NEXT day.
