TONIC EFF.EcT OF A

1t is a pity that only comparatively

in renewed health and joy to skimp

TO get two orsthree weeks by the sea-
Fortunately 1t is possible by means of
watching the newspapers advertising
columns to secure accommodations
within reach of almost every woman
The first surf bathing experience of
woman living inland is something to
be remembered. When she makes her
appearance in the bathing suit, with it's
very short, skimp skirt and long black
stockings, she feels as If all the world
had only one eye and that was fixed on
her. She goes shyly down upon the
sand and steps into the water deep
enough to get her toes wet. She gives
little screech. It's cold. she thinks
She also still thinks everybody is look

PEACE NOW
At WA|ALUA
Strike OF japanese La.
borers On the Plan
tatios1 Settled.

The strike of Japanese laborers at
waiaiua plantation was settled yes
terday, and the men who have been out
for few days past will go back to
work this morning.
The strike was called off at the con-
cIusfon of a series of conferences held
between Manager Goodale. of the plan
tation, and a committee from the
strikers, Interpreter Mkt acting as
intermediary.
The men had presented thirty-two
demands for the redress of grievances,
all of which were discussed and am1c-
ably adjusted The most important de-
rnand was for an increase of wages,
and this has been settled on basis
very much lower than the demand.
The laborers asked that the rate of pay
for cutting cane be at 20 cents per ton.
and that they be paid for loading at
the same rate.
The schedule agreed upon is Is IL
cents for cutting and 16 1-2|
cents for loading. This rate of pay
will hold until April, when there will
be an agreement upon a new schedule
The men are to have pay and half
for overtime work on Sunday irrigat-
ing.
During the discussion of the wage
schedule, Manager Gooda1e offered to
pay the men for overtime in fighting
fire The Japanese, however, replied
that that would be a work of necessi- |
ty, and that they would make no
charge for that.
AS to other grievances, the plantation
people agreed that water should be |
piped to all the houses in the Japanese |
camps. The Chinese night watchman |
at the mill, to whom the Japanese
laborers have greatly objected, will
be put in a position where he can no
longer bother them, and the inter- |
prefer to whom they have objected will |
be discharged
