BELL REFUSED A FERRY
FRANCHISE FOR VALLEJO
Solano Supervisors Hold City
Trustees Have Authority
TSoecioJ D;sso,rL \, I'll. eli

VALLEJO, June S.--The fight of the
clerks of the Mare island navy yard
against the Vallejo ferry company,
which now enjoys rich monopoly in
transporting the 2,400 employees of the
navy yard across the channel from
their homes in this city, took a new
turn today when the supervisors of
Solano county turned down the appli-
cation OF Theodore A. Bell of Napa for
a ferry franchise.
Bell had organized the independent
company and hoped to secure the
necessary permit. The petition was
denied on the ground that tht city
trustees of Vallejo had jurisdiction in
the matter.
Bell also has an application before
the trustees, but has been unable to
secure a decision from that body on
his request for a franchise The pres
ent company paid $4,000 for a 20 year
franchise Is years ago, and has made
probably half million dollars since
that time.

Here's a remedy that cures while
you sleep No poisonous drugs to
swallow. No weak stomach or di-
gestive troubles due to drugging.
This remedy is Natures medicine
electricity.
The only way TO cure anything
is to help nature Nature will cure
when she has the power. That
power is electricity. Feed it to
your nerves and they will absorb
and carry 1t to every organ and It's
sue of the body, where it gives
health and vim to every ailing part.
The reason drugs don't cure is
because they do not assist Nature.
Nature needs nourishment. strength,
something that builds up. Drugs
give no nourishmenr, no electricity,
not one thing that builds up vital
ity-just poison that tears down.
My way is the best way of apply
ing electricity. It's the only method
that has proved successful. I've had
30 years experience in treating dis
ease with electricity and know
more about it than any other doctor
on earth. Ny Electro-Vigor is the
result of this 20 years experience.
Electro-Vigor is an electric body
battery applied while you sleep. 1t
sends a constant stream of electric
life into the nerves and vitals all
night long.
Electro-vigor is not an electric
belt. 1t never needs charging, for 1t
makes It's own power continuously
HElectro-Vigor cured me of indi-

CHAPTER XVI.

The dreary night watching was a new
experience in Alison's life. for she had
been too young at the time Of her moth
er's last illness to share in the long and
tedious nursing: the silence and inaction
made the hours drag heavily. Roger, IA
tigued with his days work. was sleeping
heavily with his head against the wall.
Alison pitied his weary position. and
fetched a pillow from the other room and
put it gently behind his head.
Once or twice she went across the pas
sage TO look at Missile She was glad to
find her sleeping. Sarah was at her post,
sitting blot upright and nOdding. Now
and then her father spoke a few words I;
once he asked what the doctors had said.
Alison was thankful that they had not
informed him Of their fears.

she returned, gently; they think you

"You are a good girl, Alison; your
mother always said 50, and II I am
spared He sighed heavily, and turn
ed his face away; and Alison, remember
ing the Doctors injunction. dared not say
any more. lest it should increase his agi-
tation; she only took his hand and softly
laid her cheek against II, as though she
would show by this action a child's love
and devotion. Her touch seemed to quiet
him, and BY and by he dozed little.
Morning came at last. and Roger
reused himself with difficulty.
Alison felt weak and faded: the strain
was beginning to tell even on her vigor-
Gus vitality. She was glad the nights
inaction was over, but she felt too weary
for the days work. But Roger had not
forgotten her; he came back presently |
with a refreshed look on his face, and |
told her that breakfast was all ready in
the dressing room

average. The Office considered him a
