What a lot of ill feeling , and unhappiness could be avoided by a good square talk between parties where some misunderstanding is existing. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the grievance has been caused entirely innocently and unintentionally, and the affair can be cleared up and confidence restored by a candid, honest talk —and it should always be done, even if it seems humiliating to the pride of those interested. This is the time of year to get such things straightened out, ready for a clean record in the new year.

If your Stomach, Heart, or Kidneys are weak, try at least, a few doses only of Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. In five or ten days only, the result will surprise you. A few cents cover the cost. And here is why help comes so quickly. Dr. Shoop doesn’t drug the Stomach, nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative goes directly to the weak and failing nerves. Each organ has its own controlling nerve. When these nerves fail, the depending organs must of necessity falter. This plain, yet vital truth, clearly tells why Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is so universally successful. Its success is leading druggists everywhere to give it universal preference. A test will surely tell. Sold by All Dealers.

ISLANDS REPORTED - SUNK IN THE SEA.

Some were naked, others half-clothed and they alt were mudspattered and half-demented. They were seeking food, drink and clothing. Revolver shots rang out over the horrid din and confusion. The first of the searchers to find food were attacked by others with revolvers and knives and were obliged to defend their finds literally with their lives. The struggle was fierce. The famished men threw themselves upon each other like wolves and several fell dlaembowled in defending a handful of dry beans or a few ounces of flour. One of the unfortunates was pinned to a blank by a knife, while clinging to his hand was his little child for whom he bad rought. a mouthful.

FOOD RUSHED TO ITALY DY NAVY

Fleet’s Christmas Ship Now Relief Vessel DISPENSE WITH RED TAPE Celtic Loads In Record Time and Probably Will Make Record Run Acroee the Atlantic to Stricken Citiea—Carries Tons Upon Tons of Subsistence Stores, Clothing and Shelter Tents. To Duplicate Feat Achieved In Martinique Disaster.

Washington, Jan. 1. —The United States supply ship Celtic, which waa to have met the returning battleship fleet with holiday oheer, sailed out of New York harbor on an entirely different mission, but without changing a single item of her cargo. She will go direct to Messina to give a million and a half of navy rations to the earthquake sufferers. The idea of changing the Celtic into a relief ship came to her Commander Harry McL. P. Huse. It met with the Immediate approval of Rear Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich, commandant of the navy yard, who promptly communicated with the department at Washington. Red tape was cut out in a jiffy on the ground of humanity, necessary preparations were hurried at the yard, and the Celtic, with Christmas trees still lashed to the mastheads—it had been, designed to make the Celtic the Christmas ship for the fleet — steamed out of the harbor. Her supplies will not be eaten by American sailors, but by suffering survivors of the Calabrian and Sicilian disaster. Red Tape Forgotten. The navy department takes full responsibility for this sudden gift of supplies belonging to the United States government to the Italians, without warrant of law. It probably relies upon congress to approve of its action, but the expectations is that congress will be only too well pleased at this evidence of American pluck and of the "get there” qualities of the American navy.

Just as its ships were the first to reach Kingston after the West Indian earthqualv disaster, so the American naval flag on the Celtic may be the first to bring actual food supplies to Messina from any country, even, though we are 3,600 miles away. Certainly the ship has been dispatched to sea in record time —in less than eighteen hours after her captain conceived his humane idea.

A memorandum showing the location and proposed disposition of the Atlantic fleet is now before the state department for use when the decision is announced to offer the Italian government the assistance of these vessels, and their crews in caring for the sick and wounded. The navy department has asked the commanding officer of the Culgoa as to the condition of his stores, but after careful examination the officials are inelined to think there are no more aboard than are necessary to supply the larders of the sixteen battleships. Dispatched In Record Time. The Scorpion, which is ordered to render all service possible, will be particularly valuable, perhaps, to the American diplomatic and consular officers who may feel the necessity of using her in going from place to place in the stricken district. It is desirable that the American flag should be represented in Italian waters during these times. Ambassador Griscom will leave Rome today. As soon as he has organized and distributed the work at Messina, Mr. Griscom will return to Rome. He says in his dispatch he will be glad to have a few thousand dollars in case it is necessary for relief work. Edward Postpones Berlin Trip. London, Jan. I.—The Dally Mail announces that King Edward and Queen Alexandra have abandoned all idea of visiting Berlin in the spring. It is not stated whether the king’s health has caused the alteration in his plans.
