The matter Of feed is Of
tremendous importance to the

loss, Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmerknows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children2
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped,
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia1
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

UNIONS MUT|NY
AGAINST CHIEF.
Missouri Strike Due to
Fight Against John
Mitchell.
Local Leader Seeks to Gust
Him From National
Presidency.

KANSAS CITY, Sept 3.-James Mooney.
the district leader, who is regarded as
responsible for the Novinger coal strike.
is asserted to be holding out against John
Mitchell to further his alleged aspirations
for the presidency of the United Mine
Workers of America.
Mooney has, it is said, worked at cross
purposes with President Mitchell ever
since before the Pittsburg, Kans, con-
ference two months ago, when Mitchell
went so far as to tell Mooney to sit
down and keep still. In any event the
situation In the Noyinger district prom
ises to supply an interesting fight Now
that the miners there have violated the
agreement reached by President Mitchell
and the miners at Chicago recently, the
operators say they will make no effort to
conciliate the strikers. The operators.
Furthermore, have told the national board
of the United Mine Workers that they
expect the board to control its own men
and that If they fail to do so they will be
unable to deal with the officers of the
national organization at the Kansas CITY
conference next week, when, 1t was
hoped, all differences would be wiped out.
Thus the situation has developed into
a question of authority If the men still
refuse to work after Vice President Lewis
of Bridgeport, Ohio, who has been sent
into the field by President Mitchell, talks
with the strikers, the next move. II ia
said. may be the suspension of Mooney
and the local unions involved.

ILLICIT TRADE

Make Raid in Honolulu and
Seize Set Of Incriminat-
ing Books.

HONOLULU, Sept S.-The Federal au-
thorities have been working for many
months to break up the trade in Japanese
women, who are brought here practically
as slaves. For some time past the Of
f1cers have been endeavoring to learn the
secret of the remarkable operations Of
the men engaged in this traffic and have
just been rewarded by the discovery Of
an organization OF extraordinary scope
which has existed among resort proprie-
tors in these islands for a long time. The
organization is a secret one, regularly or
ganized, with a president and an execu-
tive board and with set of bylaws.
The Federal officers by careful watch
ing managed to locate the headquarters OF
the society and seized among other things
complete set of books, showing the
status Of the association in all it's phases
Among the books is a membership roll,
with a complete list of the members Of
the society. Another book, and probably
the most important of those seized, shows
that the society has a fund of large pro-
portions devoted to the defense of mem
bers arrested for conducting the Illicit
trade and giving in some detail the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the society.
The officials are highly pleased with the
discovery and with the aid of the books
expect to bring many of the guilty MEM
bers Of the society into court and to even
tually break up the business of the asso-
citation.
