The Flu And The
Portuguese Societies

The standing of the Portuguese
benefit societies, the Lusitana and
the San Antonio, is being threat
ened by the Spanish influenza.
These societies have been conduct
ed on a basis of ordinary mortal
ity and hardly have the reserves
to carry them through period of
high mortality. These benefit
societies were started years ago
when the imni grants were in the
prime of life, and the death pay
ments were comparatively few.
Now, with the old people passing
away, and influenza taking IA large
toll, the resources of the societies
are being severely tried.
The dues are $3.50 Il year, and
the death benefit of $500, and
$500 Il week during sickness,
and it is becoming increasingly
evident that the dues must be in.
creased or the benefits reduced
AS there is no large fund out OF
which these payments can be
made, SO that they really depend
mainly on dues, the shoe pinches
very quickly in a time of excess
i've mortality.
The societies will probably be
reOrganized on regular standard
insurance lines, with dues rated
according to actual risk. AT pres
ent the dues are the same for all
without reference to age or ply
steal condition.

Kapaa Harbor Plans

The proposed development of
the Kapaa harbor as it now has
been decided upon, Mr.. Bigelow,
superintendent of public works,
says, cOntemplates constructing
an entrance channel $50 feet wide
and having minimum depth of
25 feet leading into a protected
dredged area of about 500 feet
wide and 700 feet long.
1t is proposed to construct a
wooden deck wharf 80 feet wide
and $50 feet long, approximately
one-half of it to be covered with a
shed. The wharf would be con.
nected with the shore by IA wooden
deck approach supported by con
crete piles, the approach to be zoe
feet long and II feet wide and
carrying narrow gauge railway
track.
The estimated cost of the i'm
provement is placed by Mr.. Bige

"H's Dead Easy''
By Vaughan Mac Caughey

"It's dead easy" to criticize the
public schools. No other institu-
ton, except the church, is so ex-
posed to attack from every quar-
ter, as are public schools. Any
body can find something wrong
with the schools. Anybody can
think of some teacher who is''nO
good" of some principal who
ought to be "fired," of some school
that is "going to the dogs" Any
body can sit down and convince
you, in five minutes of vitrOlic con.
versation, that the schools are IA
dismal failure, that the teachers
don't earn their pay, and that the
administration is Il screaming
farce. Anybody can do this. 1t
is dead easy.
Constructive suggestions and
helpful advise require real
thought. Optimism requires a
smile and "A good heart. Faith in
the schools as the only real sal
vatiOn of democracy demands the
forward look. Ability to see be-
yond petty personalities into the
splendid big sweep of events re-
quires the upward vision.
We men and women of Hawaii,
of many tongues and races, are
secretly mighty proud of our
school system. We know that the

HoW the Soldier is
to Get the Bonus

Section 1406 of the l.. :. Rev
enue Act apprOped February "a,
1919, authorizes the payment of
bonus of S60.90 to officers, sol.
diers, field clerks and nurses of
the army upon honorable dis
charge from active service.
AS most of the Kauai soldiers
were discharged before this act
was passed, it is necessary, in
order to get the bonus, for a
Kauai soldier to write letter to
the Zone Finance officer, Lemon
Building, Washington, ID. c., en-
closing the discharge certificate
and stating his service in the
army, the date of discharge and
his present address.
The Red Cross secretary at Ho-
nolulu has sent to Judge Dickey,
chairman of the Kauai Branch of
the Red Cross, 500 blank forms
for such letters and the Red Cross
will without charge, help all sold
iers to get their bonus. These
forms are being distributed by
Judge Dickey to A. G. Kaululou
and Eric A. Knudsen, members of
the Legal Advisory Board, and to
associate members of the Legal
Advisory Board and others who
are Red Cross workers, and blank
forms and help may be obtained
from any of the following: Ke-
kaha, Eric A. Knudsen, +. IL.
Aaser; Waimea, G. B. HOfgaard !;
Makaweli, Sinclair. Robinson, IL.
N. Browne; Eleele, Karl ROen-

Judge Lyle A. Dickey, A. &. Kau-
lukOu, Lihue Plantation Office,
Grove Farm Office; Kealia, III. T.
Barclay; kii;;%ea, L. ID. Larsen ;
Hanalei, William Werner.
Through haste in discharging,
many of the discharge certificates
of Kauai soldiers do not have the
final payment stamp which should
appear in the lower left hand
corner of the front side of the
certificate. If it is neither there
nor on the back. the discharge
certificate must first be sent tC
the Quartermaster Hawn. Dept.
U. $. A., Honolulu, to have same
put on, before it is forwarded tC
Washington for the bonus.

schools are making good" We
know that the schools of Hawaii
have a record which compares
most favorably with that of many
other regions. We are proud of
education in Hawaii,-prOud of
that finest product of democracy,
the school.
IT'S EASY TO HELP THE
SCHOOLS. They belong to every.
one. It's easy to say the kindly
word to the teacher; to lend the
helping hand to the principal. It's
easy to get acquainted with your
local teachers, not as government
employees, but as real men and
women. Not as people who have
glaring faults and defects, but as
human folks just like the rest of
us. Get acquainted with your
teachers; remembering that their
main job is not money getting nor
personal advancement, but the
building of a better and more
prosperous Hawaii, not for them
selves, but for the boys and girls
of your home community. Pros
perity is built only upon intelli
gence, and intelligence is the bust
ness of the schools. In Hawaii,
the Land of Aloha, our schools
should be centers of mutual un
derstanding and goodwill.

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain BItro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vioor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be.
ing advertised for the purpose OF making
thin people fieshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines Of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
OF men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need moro
phosphate than Is contained In modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate. which Is mex
pensive and Is sold by most all druggists
under q guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the In
crease In weight frequently being aston
fishing.
Increase in weight also carries with II
g, general Improvement In the health:
Nervousness. sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear. dun
eyes become bright and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom OF perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro-phosphato
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
should not, owing to its tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone VINO
does not desire to put sn Sesh.
