THE GARDEN ISLAND, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1915
STUART S MANDAMUS
The Maui News is not in sym
pathy with JnilKc Stuart's efforts
to draw public lamls ptomiscuous
ly upon the market, and says so.
Its views, expressed cilitoihlly as
follows, arc quite interesting:
Judge Stuart, in liis suit nuainst
the Governor and the commission
er of public 1 indfi, is no doubt
playing a politicrd role in the hope
of making the public land question
of Hawaii a live issue. His peti
tion for a writ of mandamus has a
very familiar sound. In fact vari
ous passages tuiiht well have been
taken bodily from some of Link
McCandless, campaign speeches.
That some other motive was in the
Judge's mind than that of impress
ing a Hawaiian court is very evi
dent; else he would not dwell up
on the fact that the territory has
1,631,813.77 acres of land, when
he knows, as does every one else
in Hawaii that but a very small
fraction of this area is of any value
whatever from an agricultural
standpoint. Nor would he expati
ate uron the thousands of main
land homeseekers who are being
tamed away because the Governor
will not open this land to them.
Such arguments have no weight
with persons who know the real
situation, but of course they may
make an impression on members
of congress who are not so well in
formed, Judge Stuart is a homesteader
in nam:, That is he signed a spe
cial homestead agreement with the
territory by which he agreed to
make his home on the 15 acres of
land he drew, iust over the Pali of
Honolulu, and to perform certain
other conditions. Now he asks
the courts to compel the territory
to allow him to pay cash for this
land, and to relieve him of nil the
conditions he subscribed to save
the one prohibiting the selling of
homestead land to a corporation
or ati alien. (He also asks the same
privilege tor any person who takes
up territorial land He would have
no residence or cultivation condi
tions. He objects to the Govern
or's pfans to have suitable roads
into homestead tracts before any
more are opened. And he declares
that the restrictions are ridiculous
and un-American, choosing to for
get the fact that the laws of the
federal government relating to the
homesteading of the public domain
on the mainland are much more
severe and inflexible than are Ha
waii's.
There isn't any doubt that Judge
Stuart's plan would soon get rid
of all the government land left;
but it is very certain that it would
not get the land settled. That it
would get the conrol of this land
into the hands of private corpora
tions, there is no question what
ever, and very possibly the title
also, since the law preventing a
man s disposing of his own pro
perty as he sees fit is open to seri
ous question, which has never
been settled on a constitutional
test.
Governor Pinkham's course in
the main, should be supported by
Hawaii and bv congress; tor it
really aims to conserve the terri
tory's land with a view to the fu
tme. Diversified agriculture i n
these islands has no smooth road
before it, though it is making pro
gress and the future is bright.
There is scarcely a doubt that it
will succeed. But the progress
would be immeasurably retarded
bv the wholesale disposition of our
lands, without conditions, and to
persons, who had no other quali-
A SCHOOL LUNCH
Teaching is a fine art, the intel
ligent appreciation of which lies
beyond me; but when it comes to
a Inn h I am "in it" with the best
of people! Somewhat by chance
I happened into the Waimea pub
lic school the other day expecting
to be treated to vulgar fractions or
elemetary history, neither of which
setm to me very interesting, and
found instead a cooking class at
fications for developing them, than ! work, with a properly balanced
lunch laid out in theory on the
board, and in fact on the table.
The scientific equivalents on the
boatd, carbohydrates, protein, etc..
were quite beVond me, but the
wholesome, fragrant meal being
prepared was "alright", and 1
gladly accepted the invitation to
stay a:id try it. A dozen or so
little girls o f about the fourth
grade, I should suv, wearing the
insignia of office caps end aprons
deptly prepared, and then served
the simple lunch, consisting of
fish chowder, bread and butter,
cocoa and fresh pineapple all of
j excellent quality for the trifling
;sum of five cents. The ordets tak-
possibly, like Judge Stuart, the
money to pay the small fraction of
the real value asked for them,

Kauai Snowing Good
Although the anti-tuberculosis
bureau of the Board of Health re
ports a marked increase in the;
number of cases of tuberculosis in
the territory, as well as an increase
in the number of deaths from the
disease, Kauai is holding her own
in the matter and, in October, re
ported only eight new cases. There
were no deaths on the island from
the disease during the month

this occasion there were 100 orders
and 127 applicants.
Whether or not this new depar
ture produces results educational
ly I am not in a position to say.
Presumably it does, but at , any
rata it gives a wholesome palata
ble lunch to a good many children
who would not otherwise have
such a lunch, or indeed, any lunch
at all and that is surely nn abun
dant justification.
This school lunch has grown to
such large proportions from very
small beginnings, under very try
ing conditions and with very primi
tive and inadequate equipment,
but it has so proved itself that a
more suitable outfit is being pro
vided in the new school buildings
now nearly completed.

The Spoiling Of Good Food
There is a saying that in many homes more is car
ried out the back door in the garbage can than can be
brought in the front door in the pay envelope. And it
is a well-known fact that the thrifty French hav: long
been appalled at tne waste that goes on in the average
American home.
But there is a waste other than that of mere throw
ing away that is not so often spokeai of. And this is
the waste that results from poor cooking. The waste
here is just as great though it may not bulk so large to the eve in
quantity. But badlv cooked food is unpalatable and innutritions. If it
is eaten, it does not fufill its purpose. And frequently it is not eaten
and is added to the other waste of the garbage can.
Domestic science is being taught in the schools, so that possibly
cooking in general way improve in the future. In well kept homes
where cooking has been taught the mistress by her mother, the food is
usually good. But there is a large percentage of homes, well-to-
do, where the cooking is left to a servant, and homes of the poorer
order, and a larger percentage still ot restaurants, where the food is
not well cooked. The restaurants, to lie sure, are of the second class.
The food served accounts for their being second class. But a percent
age of our population eat in thtm and pay good mouey for what they
get. And they do not get what their money entitles them to.
There is a tremendous quantity ot bread made in this land of ours,
both in bakeries and in the home. Considering the quantity that is
made, the bread that has acquired a reputation because of its quality
is pitifully small.
Potatoes are another article of every day diet. Yet where in many
a home, are really good fried potatoes served? True, tbey are said to
be indigestible and so, perhaps, we should not eat them. But as a
people, we do eat them. And many of us eat them, if we eat them at
all, half coi ked and greasy,
Mashed potatoes and boiled potatoes meet with the same fate. So
do many of the otker vegetables. Many a fine steak and chop is spoiled
in the cooking. Good home-made salad dressing and other delicacies
are rare, so rare, that the housekeeper who turns out a delicious brand
soon becomes known in a small town for the wares of her kitchen.
Our national dish, pie, is a thing of suspicion in many places, and
would never recognize itself as kin to the properly made kind ot a well
kept home.
Good cooking is no mystery. It is no secret to be purchased at
some fabulous price. Any good cook-book will give chemically correct
recipes how to cook properly. It is a matter of really wishing to do it
wen, ot using one s Diains, and ot oeing caretul. Uut good food is
spoiled, food that would be appetizing and delicious and nourishing,
because most cooks are indifferent and careless. And the waste that
results in this way is a more serious matter than manv realize. Not
only may the food in some cases be thrown away, but even when
eaten, it does not nourish as it should. And either stimulants are re
sorted to, to make up for the unsatisfied craving or the health suffers
As it seems to me, this question of poorly cooked food touches us vit
ally in many ways. It may conduce to bad health or bad habits.

The Jury of Awards at both San Francisco

made from California asphalt-base crude,
highest in lubricating efficiency. That oil mas
Zerolene. The fact, too, that such unbiased author

Packard and Ford Motor Companies, and others,
have also gone on record in favor of oils made
from asphalt-base crude in accord with the de
cision of the Exposition juries proves that Zero
