d." followed by the name of the boat
and the latitude and longitude in which
the distressed vessel may be, is all
that the wireless operator needs to
tell the captain of his ship for any
vessel within hundreds of miles of
that point to turn the bow of their
ships in the direction from which the
call comes. This is what happened on
Sunday night. But the great Titanic
had been down for hours when the
Carpathia, the nearest aid, reached the
scene of the greatest maritime disas-
ter in the history of the world.
The scene of such an accident, four
hundred miles from shore, with life
boats enough for less than half of
those on board and barely enough to
accommodate the women and chill
dren, can only be imagined. The rules
in such case is always women and
children first, men passengers next
and then the crew.
The crew of nearly 1000 men whose
mothers and fathers, wives, sweet
hearts or children were waiting for
them at home, dreaming perhaps at
the time of the reunion that was only
day or two Of, secure in the as
surance Of the excellence Of the
greatest ship ever built" must work
with frantic haste to put the mothers,
wives and daughters of other men in
safety and then stand with breaking
hearts while the waters closed above
their heads. And husbands and fathers,
with hardly time to say Goodbye"
with possibly one last kiss, must put
their loved one in safety and then
stand with the strong-hearted members
of the crew absolutely helpless.

The size of the boat is given below.
The Titanic is of 1929 tons regis.

Her total length is SS2 feet 6 inches,
her breadth is 80 feet 6 inches, and
she is IT'S feet from the keel to the
Top of the smoke stacks. She has IL

called a syscraper few years ago.
The vessel will carry 1000 persons, in

In spite OF the fact that the state
rooms are unusually spacious, beds

the apartments. Two regal suites on
the Titanic cost $4,350 each for the
trip, the occupants having private
promenade deck on which they could
have as much privacy as on the piazza
of their own home. When the huge
ship left Southampton, April 10, she
passed near the New York of the
American Line, and the tremendous
suction developed by the passage of
the leviathan caused the seven haw-
sers holding the New York to snap
and turn that vessel loose. She was
pushed back into her dock without mis-
hap. To show the tremendous ad.

a Permanent Cure For
Chronic Constipation

Although those may dispute 1t who
have not tried it, yet thousands Of
others, who speak from personal expert
ence, assert that there is a permanent
cure for chronic constipation. Some
testify they were cured for as little as
nifty cents, years ago, and that the
trouble never came back on them, while
others admit they took several bottles
before steady cure was brought about.
The remedy referred to is Dr. Cald-
the market for over a quarter of a
century and has been popularized on it's
merits, by one person telling another.
The fact that its strongest supporters
are women and elderly pcople-the ones
most persistently ipated-makes IL
certain that the claims REGARDING it as
a permanent cure for constipation have
not been exaggerated.
IT is not violent like cathartic pills,
salts or waters, but operates gently,
