HONOLULU TROUBLE
PURELY INDUSTRIAL
Governor Frear and Japanese
Consul Deny Strike Has Any
international Aspect

HONOLULU. June 1s.-Governor
Walter Frear. in an oficial statement
given to the Associated Press today,
said:
II see no reason why this strike on
the island of Oahu should assume an
international aspect. 1t is purely an
industrial affair, and the masses
among the strikers have shown every
disposition to act in a peaceable and
orderly way. The very few cases of
violence which have occurred are be-
ing dealt with by the civil authorities
in the ordinary manner"
Consul General Uyeno unofficially in
dorsed Governor Frear's statement
and said that the Japanese government
was fully informed in regard to the
trouble and appreciated the fact that
1t was not of an international char
acter.
Cable messages from Yokohama re-
ceived today by the strike leaders here
urge them not to yield in their de-
mands and promise them financial aid
The dispatches also state that great
excitement prevails in Japan over the
strike on these islands. The local sit

Machine Counts Uncle Sans Money

pour the silver stream into the hop

But there is one place in the life Of
the coin where it must be counted by
hand, and that is when it comes back
to the treasury for redemption.
The money hen must be gone over
by hand to separate the foreign, mu-
tilated, worn out and counterfeit
pieces, a work that requires very
quick precision, and women have been
found to do it exceedingly well. Usu-
ally they a detect a counterfeit coin
by it's color as it lies among the 9TH
ers on the table, but if not then, the
operator captures it when she losses
it from one hand to another, for there
is a false ring in it's chink as 1t leaps
into her palm. 1T is remarkable" said
a treasury employe recently, how
many counterfeit copper cents come
in, especially when n calls to mind
how little profit there is in making
them. Of course, as they are of such
small denomination, they "a be
passed without much chance of sus-
picion being aroused, as few people
trouble themselves to examine a

of the counterfeit pennies are made
by Italians in New York city, and they
put them into circulation to a great
extent through peddlers and small
store keepers.

The Best Food for Workers.

60
The best food for those WHO work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Scotch Oats. 1t stands at the
top among foods that supply nourish-
ment and vigor, without taxing the
digestion, and yet It is the least ex-
penslve food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands. fed
plentifully on Quaker Scotch Oats will
work better and with less fatigue than
if fed on almost any other kind of food.
All OF these facts were proved and
very interesting Information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
lessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. You'll find Quaker Scotch Oats
In regular size packages, and hermet-
ically sealed tins; the latter is best for
hot climates. 8

crowd stated that whether it did or
didn't he was there, and they were

him to the Glenwood Springs hotel GO

with the towns famous warm springs.
Now, a bath before breakfast is a very
pleasurable thing to take, out the way
the president was to take this did not
suit him in the least. The thoughtful
people of GlenwOod had prepared a
specially-cOnstructed bathing suit for
the president, and a dozen or so for
the members of the party, and the pro-

Observation-Disclosures Sam is now
w too big, too prosperous and too
much in a hurry even to count his
money, and instead of counting his
coins by hand he simply runs them
through a sort of hopper, operated by
electricity, and an automatic register
shows how many go through. The
coins fall into a bag and are tied up
and sealed, the government guaran-
teeing that the correct number are in
the bag.
The machine can make no mistake,
hence Uncle Sam feels safe in making
his guaranty. In this way all the
money is now being counted out at
Washington, to go to the subtreas-
uries and banks throughout the cOun-
try. The treasury does a great deal
Of counting of money, and for the
purpose wOmen are employed rather
than men, as it has been found after
long experience that the women make
fewer mistakes. Hence the operators
who sit at the electric machines and
