IEFT-HANDED SPONSOR
STILL HAUNTS SHIP

CHESTER, Feb. THE reported
withdrawal of the steamship II. r.
Alexander from the Honolulu-Los
Angeles service by the Admiral Line

ton TO nod their heads and inspires

DR.. r. S. McBirney, secretary OF the
Board OF Health, in which the doc
tor refers to the conditions found in
a number OF schools visited by him

Saturday He calls attention to the
fact that in many cases the buildings
were not in readiness for fumigation
although the Board OF Health had
been requested to do this work.
DR.. MsBlrney also called attention
to the danger from dust on the floors,
and advocated a liberal use of crude
oil, which he said could be obtained
at a cost not exceeding 8 cents a
gallon.
He also strongly urged upon the
Board OF Public Education the bene-
fits to be derived from a health
standpoint by a liberal use of sun
shine. In many of the buildings
visited, DR.. McBirney says, he found
the shades tightly drawn. excluding
all sunlight He advocated the rails

CITY HEALTH
New Regulations for Board
ing Houses, Grocers
Suggested
BOARD TO TALK
SUBJECT LATER

At a meeting OF the Board OF
Health this morning new rules gov
erning the regulation of communi-
cable diseases. and those coming in
contact with such cases, were read
by DR.. McBirney, and were the sub
Ject OF much argument as the Board
seems to differ somewhat on the
subject. No action was taken in the
matter. and X was decided 10 lay
the subject on the taole until the
next meeting of the Board.
The proposed regulations are said
to affect every boarding house in the
city ,as well as grocers or any one
handling food products. The rules
now in force in this city, it is said,
are good so far as they go. but are
not modern. as they do not give the
health officers authority TO deal with
some matters vitally affecting the
health Of the entire community. As
an example. IL is said, a vessel ar
riving at the city harbor terminal
with a case OF smallpox on board
could not be interfered with in any
way by the Board of Health under
the present regulations.
