COURT CONSIDERS
80 DIVORCE CASES
One Husband Secures Decree
Because of Wlfe's Cruel
Treatment of Him.

With the exception of few cases
which have been reset, the ninety ap-
plications for divorce have been con-
sidered by the court and in most cases
judgments have been entered in favor
of the plaintiffs.
The most interesting case considered
yesterday was that of Paul E. Haw-
kinson, who wanted a separation from
Matilda Hawkinson on the ground of
cruel and inhuman treatment. This
complaint is often efficacious in the
case of a woman, but it is seldom that
man secures divorce on that ground.
But it was proven to the court that the
woman had threatened to cut the mans
throat, and after the husband had APP
piled for a divorce she told one man
that she would shoot her husband.
Other divorces granted yesterday
were: Mary E. Stuth from Edward C.
Stuth, Ida May Trow from Gardner o.
Trow, Alice Countryman from Henry
Countryman, Caroline Willis from Al
bert Willis, Ella c, Dahlstrom from AL
bert Dahlstrom, Ingeborg Hanson from

from Solomon Bergstedt, Mary Brooks

A SHAM e
To Poison Children.

Il have made coffee during the IT
years l have kept house on an average
or at least once a day until we gave it
up altogether. My husband was often
forced to leave off drinking 1t for sew
eral weeks at a time owing to severe
pains in his heart which he declared
were caused by coffee"
SO says lady of S. Atkinson, Me.
L had bad stomach trouble, my ap-
petite was poor, and what food 1 ate
did not digest and had no strength.
i also had bad nervous trouble and
suffered much from headaches and a.
feeling of suffocation and faintness.
We have four children and all were
very fond of coffee and drank it every
morning, seldom eating much break
fast. They were pale and often COM
planned of feeling faint and dizzy, and
one daughter had indigestion badly
My husbands father, who lives with US
was badly bloated and sometimes said
believe coffee hurts me- But after
trying for few days to get along
without 1T the habit of a lifetime proved
too strong and he would call for a cup
of coffee.
Last spring we began reading about
the wonderful cures by Postum Food
Coffee and became interested and de-
cided to try 1t. So we stopped coffee
and began using Postum. In a surpris-
ingly short time we all noticed a very
decided change in health all round
The children's appetites improved and
after using Postum a short time they
began to eat hearty breakfasts every
morning. Elizabeth's dyspepsia is all
gone and she says she can eat anything
now and 1t does not hurt her They no
longer complain of feeling faint and
dizzy and all are growing plump and
rosy.
81 have gained eight pounds myself,
although doing more work than I have
been able to do for years. My appetite
is good. food digests, nerves are strong
er, and have none of the other trou-
bles. 1t is simply wonderful.
my husband has no more trouble
with his heart, and father-in-law does
not bloat and can breathe much more
easily.
1--WE had made the change from cof-
fee to Postum without telling father
in-law, but one morning after we had
used Postum short time he slipped his
coffee and said, How much better this
is, how did you happen to get such
good coffee?' and he was greatly sur
prised when told it was not coffee, but
the food drink Postum. He declares
that it has done him great good and he
has not been SO well for years, al
though he is now 79 years of age. A
lot of my other relatives have had al
most the same experience, all of them
having found out that 1t pays to give
up coffee and drink Postum If you
want to be healthy and happy" Name

BIG DEEP SEADREOCE
Monster Machine Lifts As Tons
of Ocean Bottom.

Anchored in the mouth of Oakland
Creek, where 1t is busily engaged in
lifting the bottom of the bay and de-
posting 1t across the breal1water, that
the channel may be deepened, the larg-
est dredger in the world may, be seen.
1t is the property of the American
Dredging company composed entirely
of men of this state and is called the
Uncle Sam. 1t was entirely constructed
here, the capital for it furnished by
local men. and 1t is engaged in max
ing imperative improvements in the
bay under q contract with the United
States.
This dredger exceeds in size and ca
pacity anything of its kind, not even
excepting the immense machines which
were constructed for digging out the
Panama canal 1t is a combined "clam
SHELF and hydraulic dredgeF, and the
only one of it's kind ever. built. 1t was
constructed especially for harbor i'm
provements and for reclamation work
upon the tidal and eoVerfiowed lands
along the banks of the Sacramento and
San Joaquin rivers and their tribu-
taries. The building of 1t was directly
instigated by the determination of the
war department to let large contracts
for dredging the harbor. For this work
1t is admirably equipped and its en-
ergies will be engaged for the next two
years by the government on contracts
for harbor improvements already let.
The "a" frame which supports the
boom Is the most massive ever built on
any dredger and weights more than
fifty tons. 1t is more than sixty-two
feet high from the deck and is made of
six 24x24 timbers for side legs and
two 18x24 tlmbers for back legs. At
the top there Is a solid cast iron cap
weighing about $4,000 pounds. From
this the topping lift is run to the end of
the boom, and supports the weight of
the boom and bucket or ladder as the
requirements may be.
When working the dredger as a
"clam SHELF machine boom 100 feet
long and 28X28 inches square is sup
ported by the "a" frame. At the end
of the boom are two large steel sheaves
six feet in diameter in frames weigh
ing three tons, over which are run the
cables operating the clam SHELF
bucket These cables are 1 ga inches in
diameter and have a combined tensile
strength of 300 tons. The bucket used
is made of steel and opens and closes
like a pair of shears. The shells are
shaped like rinds on a quarter of an
orange when opened, and when closed
they form a half sphere. This bucket
weighs empty $4,000 pounds, and will
lift In good stiff material twenty cubic
yards, weighing thirty tons.
This enormous load, together with
the bucket, weighing in all more than
forty-five tons, is raised from the bot
tom of the bay. swung distance of ESQ
feet. emptied and the bucket returned
to its starting point in less than one
minute. 1t is remarkable with what
ease the operator can handle this great
crane. He Is put to no more exertion
than would be required to lift his cap.
