TUBERCULOSIS IS
COSTING HAWAII
million YEARLY

Over one million dollars a year is
the economic loss TO Hawaii OF tn,
berculosis according to the figures
PREPARED several years ago BIZ DR.. A.
y. Sinclair, then director of the tu-
berculosis bureau. The figure was
based upon an estimate Of loss for
Honolulu only, the latter being calcu-
lated according 10 the most approved
methods of modern economy. Dr.
Sinclair at thet time arrived al the
figure CT $523, Els as the loss to Homo
lulu, and as the status Of tuberculosis
in the territory has remained the same
the figure is probably correct today.
Honolulu supplies less than half the
tuberculosis in the territory so that
the total loss through this disease for
the islands is considerably over a mil
lion dollars.
The legislature is new being asked
for $175, 600 for 4 two years continu-
ance IF the campaign against tubercn-
losis, moderate increase over the
previous appropriation under which
splendid results lave been accomplish
ed. The sum ASKED TO combat the dis
ease is less than 10 per cent year
of tire loss il OCCASIONS.
1t is pointed cut that while the APP
preparation is 10 per cent OF the esti-
mated loss, tha disease will not neces.
sarily be reduced 10 per cent a year,
but il is very safe to assert that 1t will
be reduced hall OF that, or at least five
per cent ysdr. The available fig
ures show that that reduction may be
expected If the campaign IL carried on
vigorously.
Continuation of this campaign
means that instead of hundreds of the
children now attending school dying
of consumption before their twenty
fifth year, the number will be reduced
to minimum and the generation will
grow up stronger am, healthier. Few
er hreadWinners will die leaving their
families to the support Of charity
fewer mothers will die to leave their
children to be brought up out of hand;
fewer patients unable TO earn their
living will have TO be supported by the
government and the territory will then
be saved the money which 1t is being
asked to approx rate now, in addi-
ton to having saved the lives which
cannot be. expressed in money.

The Making Of a Soldier OF
the Seas.
BY RICTtRD BoECKEL.

A Marine Corps Cantonment, Nov.
IA search is on for "the meanest
man In ten counties" The marine
corps knows who he is. and it wants
to find him right away. He left the
camp the other day with sl37 In IL
bills. The money belonged to ma
chine gun company in training here:
1t was collected as n general fund
with which to buy tobacco.
The meanest man in ten counties
conducted shop down on the main
street OF the town. He seemed like a
perfectly reliable citizen and so, when
the money had been collected one pay
day the boys turned it over TO him
together with a. list OF their tobacco
wants, from cut plug TO pipe cleaners:
The toba cconist departed the next
morning for the city to put in the
order. When night came and he did
not return the marines thought moth
ing of It. 1t took nearly week to
arouse their suspicious. Today they
are looking for him hard. They want
that s137 back so they can put IN
subscriptions for liberty bonds
Tobacco funds being raised in va ri-
Gus cities are to be used solely for the
men In the trenches in front. Men at
the training camps are not complain
ing of discrimination, however. Ihey
believe this tobacco should go to the
men not in position to get their
favorite brands. Some of the men
have a distinct feeling that their
smoking should not be furnished by
charity"
The wages OF marine corps en-
listed man. officers point out are
larger than those of n first lieutenant
Of the French army, And II the
French lieutenant can buy his own
toha eco out OF his salary, the marines
feel that they can buy theirs too
The only Justification for the raisine
of tobacco funds, in their opinion, Il
the fact that the lighting men through
them are assured that they won't have
TO smoke foreign tobacco.
