A recent bill known as the Seaman’s Bill became a law under the President’s aiKnalur '' anil Mr- it 1’ Schwerin, vice-president of the kUHRMII* *C C < SIuII St ' a,llHh| P t'ompany. win n asked to define HHHEe a "’ a,,, l outline it h effi ct upon American steamship lines, said in part: pH* bill provides that no ship of any .nationality 'shall be permitted to I depart from any port of the United States unless she has on board a crew not |bss than seventy-five per centum of which, in each department thereof is able to understand any order given by the officers of such vessel, nor unless forty per centum in the first year, forty-five per centum in the second yean fifty per centum in the third year, fifty-five per centum in the fourth year after the passage of this Act, and, thereafter sixty-five per centum of her deck! screw, exclusive of licensed officers and apprentices, are of a rating not less ■ban ab>le seamen.' ■ftho oversea trade of the world is competitive, therefore the original cost of the ship and the operation of the ship have to be reckoned with in the Men competition of these rival nations with one another. The Oriental sailor,is obedient and competent and is the cheapest sailor in the world. It is therefore manifestly clear that if this law applied to all nationalities I in tho transpacific traffic, all would be on the same economic basis, but it I works a single hardship to all the ships of the world, except the Japanese -and Anierican ships, and with the latter it works two hardships. With the European, the cost of constructing a ship is no higher than the cost of conBtructing a Japanese ship, but if they had to provide European crews, while the Japanese operated with Japanese crews, the condition of competition would be such that they could not overcome the handicap and they would be driven off. But the American ship would have to contend not only with the tremendous increase of cost of wage in the substitution of the European crew for the Chinese crew’, but also the initial cost of the ship. As the Japanese have now done away with their European officers and Japanese crews, all of whom speak a common language, there is no difficulty for them to comply with all the conditions of the bill and continue their Japanese crews, with Oriental wages. “The law, therefore, instead of assisting tho American ship, adds another heavy burden, while it places none whatever upon the Japanese ship, but, on the contrary, turns over to the Japanese the traffic of the Pacific Ocean, which the American ship is forced to forego by act of Congress of the United States.” ®Look for the Turkey on Every Bag You BayJ- , Great Strength, Durability, Fine Color.

THOUGHT SHE COULD NOT LIVE Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Unionville, Mo.—“l suffered from* female trouble and 1 got so weak that I

could hardly walk across the floor without holding on to something. 1 had nervous spells and my fingers would cramp and my face would draw, and I could not speak, nor sleep to do any good, had no appetite, and everyone thought I would not live.

Some one advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I had taken so much medicine and my doctor said he could do me no good so I told my husband he might get me a bottle and I would try it. By die time I had taken it I felt better. I continued its use,and now I am well and strong. “I have always recommended your medicine ever since I was so wonderfully benefitted by it and I hope this letter will be the means of saving some other poor woman from suffering. Mrs. Martha Seavey, Box 1144, Unionville, Missouri. The makers of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have thousands of such letters as that above — they tell the truth, else they could not have been obtained for love or money. This medicine is no stranger —it has stood the test for years. If there are any complications yon do not understand write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. (confidential) Lynn,Mass. Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman and held in strict con'’deuce. o KTTER ™L CALOMEL Thousands HaveDiscoveredDr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets —the substitute for calomel —are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on tho liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, lint have no bad alter effects. They don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of tho trouble and quickly correct It. Why cure tins liver at the expense of the teeth? Calorm I sometimes plaxt* liavflc wRU the gums. So do strong liquids. (• It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards’ Olivo Tablets take its place. Most headaches, “dullness” and that lazv feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards’ Olivo Tablets when you feel “loggy” and "heavy.”• Note Low they “clear" clouded brain and how they “perk up” the spirits. At 10c and 25c per box. All druggists. The Olive Tablet Company, Columbus, O. h Hour TO 1 «$ Take a tablespoonful of Salts if Back hnrtfl or Bladder bothers—Meat forms uric acid. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is- retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of load, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a iabiespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes ,a delightful effervescent lithia-watcr drink, and nobody can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.
