Honolulu's American population
Is Increasing steadily. The Federal
operations are bringing in good
number of skilled workmen. Assist
ant Secretary Cooper of the Promo
ton Committee reports that there
are more tourists in the city than
ever before at this time OF year and
enough are coming to tax-the trans
portation lines to the limit. In addi-
ton to this the present enterprises
of the city are attracting or rather
demanding a good number Of skill
ed and well paid employees. The
leading automobile garages have
been constantly increasing their
stats, and the class of men requlr-
cd are of the best skilled mechanics.
So 1t is all over the city. The local
supply is not enough, and with the
expansion that is going on every
where a man here and one there go
TO make up a good sized total of
desirable newcomers, many Of whom
have families.

This city has a larger Fort-street
buying population than 1t has had
since 1890. and 1t should be said to
the credit OF our business houses
that the goods bought for and dis
played this season are more up-to-
date and attractive than ever be-
fore. Merchants all seem to have
sensed the coming OF the good
times, laid In ample stocks and OF
the best lines.

IN BUSINESS CIRCLES

Christmas week has OF course been
quies in many lines Of business with
the exception of those supplying the
public with gifts for the Holiday
season.
The Holidays that started in the
earliest and as the best Honolulu
has ever known In the retail trade,
have kept up the record to the last
day. Every business man of Fort
street reports increased business and
nearly all Of them have been rushed
TO the limit.

Vegetable Protein-The cereals are
more or less thoroughly digested ac-
cording to mode of preparation. Bread
made from wheat -four and maize meal
is not completely digested, because of
the large amount of starch present. The
per cent of proteid assimilated varies,
being less when eaten alone and
greater when eaten with other foods.
as variety stimulates the digestive
organs and causes their work to be
more thorough
oats are less easily digested than
either wheat or maize, because of the
amount of cellulose present, which pre-
vents the digestive jurces from getting
at the proteid. thus leaving it in an
unavailable form.
Legumes rank next to cereals as a
proteid food, the edible parts of them
being like the cereals, in that they
serve as a storehouse of food for the
Young plants. This group is especially
rich, in nitrogen, and because of this
they have been styled the poor mans
beef" Only a small per cent of this
nitrogen is in a nonproteid form; but
il is in a form that cannot be readily
used by the body. The chief proteid
of the legumes is known as Iegumin
sometimes called vegetable casein,"
because of its resemblance to the
casein Of milk. The legumes are valu-
able from mineral standpoint also,
and contain more lime and potash
The San Francisco call., 1909-07-26

than any of the vegetables, which con-
stituents are used by the body to form
and strengthen bony tissue.
In this class of vegetables we find
beans, peas, lentils and peanuts tho
latter possessing characteristics of both
legumes and nuts. Peas render the
farming class a two fold service, since
they serve not only as food, but en-
rich the soil, by taking nitrogen from
the air and storing it in small nodules
on the roots of the plants; and when
the plants decay the nitrogen enters
the soil, forming elements necessary
for the growth of other plants.
Beans, peas and peanuts are grown
extensively throughout the United
states, both as food for man and
beast and as an article of commerce:
but lentils, the most nutritious of ali
legumes, is scarcely known in this
country though it forms the chief ar
ticle of diet in some European coun
tries The lentil contains a large per
cent of proteid and carbohydrates. with
a small per cent of other constituents
which renders it especially good as a
food when eaten with a food lacking
in these two principals. In appearances
they resemble peas, but unlike them
are eaten only in the mature state
Peanuts are just coming to be recog-
nized by dieticians as an important
food product, and they are assuming
a prominent place in the diet. They
larger than that of any other vege-
table. and. in the crushed state or in
the form OF peanut butter. are espe-
cially good for making sandwiches.
Beans are richer than peas in proteid
and in mineral salts. hence they are
more valuable as food. The navy bean
is the kind most used In the United
states as food for soldiers and la
borers. who seem TO withstand hard
ships better on 2 diet of beans and
bread.

WHY COUNTRYMAN
SEEKS TO BE MAYOR
Attorney Explains His Aspira-
tiOns for Place at Head of
Republican Ticket
Expresses His Views on Mat
ters of Interest Affecting
the Municipality
By GEORGE A. VAN SMITH

Robert Harmer Countryman is a can
didate for republican nomination for
mayor Of San Francisco. He does not
accuse any one of having coerced him
into the primary fight. He is a candi-
date because he thinks he can do some
thing for the city.
Countrymsn speaks softly and we'll.
He has ideas. Some OF them are as in
teresting as his ingenious recitals of
his political activities and affiliations.
He has been active in politics for many
years. He IS well known in politics and
at the bar. In politics he was and is the
associate of Frank Maestretti. At one
Harrison. late of the supreme bench and
of the district appellate court.
For the present Countrymen is can
didate for the republican nomination
for mayor. More than 1000 electors by
signing the petition which entitled him
to a place on the primary ticket sub
scribed TO an oath to support him for
that nomination. Since he is a candi-
date for mayor his political affiliations,
associations and views on public oues-
tiops are matters of public interest. He
told me of himself and his views easily
and f1uently. He was entertaining and
refreshingly candid. He carried that
candor to the extent of telling me that
he did not expect me to believe the rea-
son he gave for his candidacy. He
talked of many things and well. Some
of these things bore on his candidacy:
quite as many did not. I put to him
the questions I have put TO other can
didates for the same Office
The San Francisco call., 1909-07-26
QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED

Here is what he told me in answer to
those questions:
My full name is Robert Harmer
Countryman. I was named after Con-
gressman Robert Harmer of Philadel-
phia. l am - years old. ! was born in
Philadelphia. 1 came to California in
1873 for a visit and remained. l have
lived in San Francisco since 1885. I am
married and have two sons.

uated in 1855 and have practiced here
since that time. When Judge Harrison
retired from the supreme bench l went
into partnership with him under the
firm name of Harrison & Countryman.
This partnership lasted until Judge
Harrison was appointed TO the appel
late bench.
4 have been in politics q long time.
1 got in to get Judge Harrison nomin-
ated to the supreme bench. I lived in
the Ssth district then. I wanted to get
into the state convention and I got
Maestretti to put me on the ticket 1
made Maestretti's first success He had
been getting whipped. I told him to
change the men who were doing his
work in the hill district, where there
were many fine people. I stuck TO
Maestretti. Subsequently Ruef wanted
the district. He promised to make
Maestretti a fire commissioner and he
kept his promise. Afterward he put
Maestretti on the BOARD of works.
BREAKS WITH RUFF
7 broke with Ruef in 1905 at the
Santa Cruz convention. He beat Judge
Harrison for nomination to the district
court of appeals bench-threw him
down for Carroll Cook I told Ruef
that If he did turn down Judge Harri-
son I would always fight him. Cook
was nominated and I threw the 39th
district delegation and beat Ruef out
of the nomination to the appellate
bench which he had slated for Jim Cal
lagher. That was one good thing |
did. If il had not been for me Gal
lagher would have been elected and we
would have had great scandal I
have never held a public office.
why am l a candidate for mayor?''
Countryman echoed.
Il know you will not believe it, but
I became a candidate because thought
1 could do something for the city"
Are you in favor of the Hetch

tion and development of the proposed

man. should be done by the city In the
matter of the United Railroads attempt
to maintain its monopoly on lower Mar
ket street,"
The United Railroads should mot
have a monopoly. but 1T should be al
lowed to run the Sutter street cars
down to the ferry. 1t could be coerced
into an agreement by threatening to
take away some of the other Illegal
privileges it is enjoying.
do you favor resubmission to the
people of the proposed Geary street
municipal railroad bonds?"
Il do not think the proposition should
be resubmitted at the present time. IL
would look too much like tanning 1t
through A certain amount of time for
mature deliberation should be allowed.
A year, 1 think, would be fair"
Are there any other questions of
public policy, Mr.. Countryman, upon
which you wish to express your views
for publication"
The answer was something different.
MUSIC AND LITERATURE
San Francisco has no factories said
Countryman. THE life of the COM
munity is dependent upon the develop
ment of the individual. I would favor
the establishment of a symphony or
chestra and lectures after the New
York plan of free lectures to the adult
public, using the public school build
ings I would have music and concerts

SAVE WASTE WATER BY

Millions OF Gallons Of Water

The only obstruction to universally
installed individual water-power plants
on the farm Is that not every farm is
blessed with running water to furnish
the power. But there are thousands OF
farms In the United States which
have running water that can be har-
messed and made to work
The government has been taking a
census of the available water power

On hundreds of farms with which
the writer is acquainted in a number
of states of uneven topography there
are many streams with volume and

so to 200 horse power, and where the
power plants could be installed at rel
atively small expense. And the first
expense is practically the only ex-
