LAST PORT ON THE BEACH

Ore, Run Ashore in Alaska to
Save Her from Sinking

SEATTLE, Oct. 70. The barge
Charger, 1874 tons, Captain Aust, owned
by the Coastwise Steamship and Barge
company of Seattle, was run ashore in
Karta bay Southeastern Alaska, about
sixty miles northeast of Ketchikan,
about midnight Sunday.
With her hold awash and the heavy
cargo of 2300 tons of copper ore strain
ing her timbers, the pumps on the barge
could not be depended on to keep the
water down, and to save her from
laundering the old hulk was put on the
beach.
The Charger was once one of the
clipper ships of the now fast-disap-
pearing old wooden fleet of square rig
gers which carried the Stars and Stripes
into every sea. She was built in Bos-

BOY KILLED WHILE
MOTHER SOUGHT HIM
POLICEWITH DIFFICULTY KEEP
BACK THE NEWS
Father Is at Last Located-He Col
Iapses When He Is Shown
Dead Body of His
Son

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-One of the
most difficult problems which con-
fronted the police of a Harlem station
was in keeping a hysterical mother
from knowing that her child had been
killed.
Albert Hedland, 81 years old, strayed
away from his mother on the street,
and while she was seeking him in one
block he was run over and killed by a
surface car on another street. There
was nothing to indicate the identity of
the child when the mangled body was
taken to the police station.
An hour later the excited mother
rushed into the station and reported
the loss of her child. The desk SER
geant Immediately knew that the dead
body in the rear room was that of her
boy, but he also knew that if he told
her the news it would be a blow she
could not stand.
While he was trying to learn her huS-
bands name and address she dashed
from the station Historically. Several
times in the following six hours she re-
peated her call at the station, but only
on the last visit was the sergeant able
to learn her husbands identity. The
boys father was summoned and he col
lapsed when he was shown the body.

Nervous Dyspepsia
And NeuraSthenia
Weakness of the Nervous System
Often Dependent Upon Long
Continued Indigestion

NEURASTHENIA, also known as
nervous exhaustion" nervous debil-
ity" and nervous prostration," is a
disease which in these modern, siren
uous times is becoming more and more
prevalent. 1t is a condition in which
there is more or less marked and per-
Eistent loss of energy, together with
considerable irritability.
Persons who suffer from this trouble
are easily excited and irritated; can
not do as much work as formerly, and
in attempting any mental effort,
quickly become confused and are un-
able to concentrate the attention. They
also complain of insomnia, nervous in
digestion, depression of spirits and
palpitation of the heart.
There is a general muscular weak
Bess; the person cannot walk very far
and tires quickly on attempting ply
steal exertion. There is ringing in the
ears; blurring of eyesght headache
and vertigo; specks floating before the
ability to sustain prolonged intellectual
effort is interfered with and the patient
imagines he is losing his memory
Neurasthenics continually watch for
new symptoms, unconsciOuSly eXag-
gerate the old ones, attaching undue
importance to them. Causeless fear is
often suffered from; a dread of some
impending danger; extreme pessimism;
dark forebodings and hysteria. Sleep
is not refreshing and the person feels
much more tired in the morning than
at night. Horrible dreams and night
mare are usually complained of.
But by far the most prominent man
Hesitation of NEURASTHENIA is
NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA. IN nearly
every case this disturbance of the
stomach dominates the complaint.
Cause and effect may be transposed
and dyspepsia may be the result of
Neurasthenia, but oftener indigestion
is the original cause of the nervous
condition. The nerves are simply
starved" because the stomach does
not digest the food properly, and as
the nerves are dependent upon the
food which the blood absorbs from the
stomach for their sustenance, any de-
privation thereof Is sure to cause nerve
weakness.
The use of nerve tonics" in this
condition Is a mistake; they merely
stimulate, but do not rebuild nerve
tissue Completely dig5sted food is tho
Only true nerve builder and strength
cner; and in the treatment Of nervous
exhaustion one should first cure the
nervous dyspepsia, which is usually
the origin of the trouble, by taking
STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS in
doses of one or two after each meal
or whenever needed, and the long train
Of nervous symptoms will be cured
along with the nervous dyspepsia
This celebrated remedy is without
reer in the treatment of nervous in
digestion and. in fact, indigestion of
any kind. They digest all the food
with great thoroughneSs and facilitate
it's absorption by the blood, which car
ries it to the weakened. diseased nerves
and builds them up, so that every
symptom of Nervous Exhaustion is
gotten rid of.
