BY Teaching
the People
Ito Obey the Simplest
Law of Nature
Hundreds Have Been Cured of
Catarrh, Bronchitis, Asthma
and Consumption.

1t seems strange. indeed that in this enlichten-
81 age people should have to be taught that the
ar passages In the head, throat and lungs were
made Tor dry air alone, and that moisture Of any
klhd cannot enter the bronchial tubes and lungs
Yet such is the case and the. efforts of the r. II.
Booth Company !who, during the past few months,
have been teaching the people that grent and nm
changeable law of nature which permits nothing
put dry air to enter the bronchial tubes and lungs
ana prevents moisture of any kind from entering
these passages) show how much such lesson is
needed by the general public. The reason why it
has not been taught before is this: Until ..iiyo-
mel was discovered, there has never been found
a germicide of sufficient power to kill the baciIii
OF bronchitis, asthma and consumption, yet vola-
tile enough to impregnate every particle Of air
breathed by the patient and leave it free from
moisture. Since then, SO important was this dis
covery considered by the medical profession that
over thirty-eight hundred physicians have pre-
scribed this new method of treating diseases and
instructed their patients in its use

AN EARTHQUAKE At SEA.
UNCANNY EXPERIENCE OF THE
BAhKENTINE PORTLAND.
Almost Thrown Out of the Water by
a Shock that Lasted Twenty Seconds
Captains Report.

The United States photographic
Department at San Francisco, has
just received report of an earth
quake recently encountered by the
barkentine Portland, not very far out
side the harbor of San Francisco. Five
shocks were felt. and the first was
something terrible in its severity.
The Portland was bound from Sal
AVERY to Port Townsend, and the
first and most severe of the shocks
was felt on March 18th, at 1912 p. m,
Greenwich mean time. in latitude n.
30 degrees % minutes. longitude w.
100 degrees 36 minutes
Captain Larsen says in his report
that the ship was dawdling along un-
der full sail, with hardly any wind,
and smooth sea. when the first shake
up came. Everything was set aback,
there was IA scrunching noise under
the keel, as though the vessel had
suddenly run aground, and then the
little barkentine was tossed almost
out of the water, which was churned
up as with the fury of gale.
This terrible connection in the alb
sence of wind struck terror to the
hearts of all on board. and it was
several minutes before a man on the
ship was able to move from the posi-
ton he had assumed when the big
shock came The vibration continued
full twenty seconds and was follow
ed in about twenty minutes by anoth-
err shock of shorter duration. Twice
again during the afternoon was the
barkentine shaken up and that night
not man on board turned in. Every
not a man on board turned in. Every.
body stayed on deck, talking in hush
ed whispers of the awful, invisible
force, specializing on the probability
of a return of the qualling and tell
ing how they felt during the first I'M
canny moments of the shock that hac
suddenly disturbed the quiet of the
! calm ocean.

pertaining and instructive meeting
last evening at the home of Rev. and

scribed particularly the various sys-
TENS of electric railways. He used a
blackboard and photographs to illus
trate his explanations. general
