FRANK j. HUBER

In yesterdays Star we announced
the death of Mrs. Frank j. Haber. I've
were mistaken; it is Mr.. Huber who is
dead. A rather indistinct message
over telephone caused the mistake.
While we are glad that Mrs. Huber
is yet alive, we have gained but little,
for we are greatly saddened to hear
of the death of her husband.
Frank Huber dwelt among US a
dozen years and was a good citizen.
He was postmaster for four years and
occupied the scarcely less onerous and
public position of a. G.. L. agent for
several other years.
He was strictly an honest man and
a kindly one, doing everything in his
power for his friends and also for the
many strangers who came in contact
with him during his official duties. He
was quiet man, but men and women
had no difficulty in picking him out IN
throng as one they could turn to
for advice and assistance.
He died Sunday, at Cannelton, IND
The particulars and place of his fun
eral we have not learned.
The Star joins the many friends OF
Mrs. Huber in sympathy for the death
of the husband to whom she was q
loving wife and assiduous helper.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
WILL HELP FAMILIES
OF EX-SERVICE MEN

Announcement is made by the state
board of health of Florida that plans
are being perfected whereby in con-
nection with the registration OF
deaths occurring in the state record
may be obtained of all beneficiaries
of the bureau of war rish Insurance..
1t is apparent from the confusion
that seems TO exist in the handling of
government insurance that soldiers
may die who are benefciaries of the
bureau Of war risk insurance under
conditions which make it doubtful
about the proper claims for insurance
money being promptly filed in Wash
ington. This is due in some instances
to soldiers dying away from home,
and in other instances carrying In
surance unknown to relatives. Under
the plan to be adopted the deaths of
any ex-service man or woman will be
reported to the bureau of war risk
insurance together with information
that may lead to the prompt payment
OF any and all insurance claims with
out unnecessary delay.

WILSON SHARPLY
REBUKED CONGRESS

Washington, May 14.-President
Wilson pointedly informed Congress
yesterday that in his opinion the leg
islative branch of the government
was showing an. increasing tendency
to interfere unduly with the eexrcise
of executive functions.
Taking as a vehicle for his admon-
ition sharply phrased veto of the
annual legislative. executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill. the president
declared that one of the riders of the
big supply measure would muzzle ex-
ecutive officials with a censorship"
regulated by the congressional joint
committee on printing.
Whether repassage of the bill un-
changed will be attempted, or wheth-
er the feature objected to by the pres
ident will be eliminated had not been
decided late last night. The measure
carries $a04. 100000 for salaries and
miscellaneous expenses of many gov
ernment departments, and it must be
approved in some form by the end of
June or these funds will lapse.

had, on the nearest cane, coffee or tobacco plantation. His dress con sists of a pair of white trousers, white shirt, and a straw hat. His wife and children are clad as poorly as he is; and none of them wear shoes.
 "But work in Porto Rico is season al, and it lasts seven months at the most, so that for five or six months he has to do the best he can for a living. Bananas and other tropical fruits are plentiful and in many in stances the landowner for whom he works during the season permits him to eat his bananas gratis. Some re- ceive with their little huts a patch of ground and raise some foodstuffs dur ing the dull season, but such cases are not common. How he pulls through the slow season is a mys tery.
 '"The jibaro is exceeding courteous especially to Americans, good-na- tured, ready to render a favor at any time, and, though poor, accept no compensation; he is even cheerful and fond of music. But he is a sick man. Uncinariasis (hookworm dis ease), anemia, etc, are very wide spread. During the fiscal year 1917- IS, 20, ,590 hookworm patients were treated by the health authorities These figures, however, must fall far short of the actual number of peo- pie afflicted, since the difficulties in getting to a dispensary or private physician are numerous.
 '"The principal food consumed by the Porto Ricans is made up of rice, beans, codf1sh, coffee, and bread. Of these five articles of diet only cof- fee is not imported. There are some mountain rice and beans raised on the the island, but the bulk of the island, but the bulk of the other three commodities, chiefly from the { United States, excepting codfish which is brought from Canada.
 'tUndernourishment makes the la borer an easy prey to disease and units him for hard manual labor; his endurance is undermined and he cannot stand the strain of 10 or 12 hours work in the fields This fact is not unknown to employers, for some experiments in connection with prop erly feeding laborers have been made l and splendid results obtained. t'The old system of the employer ] paying to the storekeeper the wages of his laborer and the storekeepel taking out the amount due him fo1 purchases made by such laborer is still in existence on the island, des- i pite the fact that public opinion is l against it. The laborer under sucE | conditions is at the mercy of the storekeeper, often an unscrupulou: one, who at times takes advantage O.
