URGES RIGID RULES OF SEA
Leader of Seamen's Union Calls Lon
don Regulations Too Lax-Accuses
Senator Lewis.

Washington, June ANDREW Fur
useth, president of the International
Seamen's union, issued a statement
charging Senators Lewis of Illinois
and Burton of Ohio and Congressman
Alexander of Missouri with attempt
ing to prevent the passage of legisla-
ton to insure the proper manning of
vessels. Although the advocates of
the London convention for greater
safety at sea believe the Empress of
ireland disaster will force an early
ratification of the treaty by the SEN
ate, the attitude of Mr.. Furuseth indi-
Gates that there will be bitter fight
on the measure. Senators Lewis and
Burton contend that the convention
will insure safer ships and adequate
life-saving facilities. Senator La Fol-
lette, who is leading the opposition.
holds the convention inadequate to OBJ
tain real safety at sea.

SURVIVORS RELATE
THEIR EXPERIENCES
Passengers Give Vivid Scenes
Following Accident.
IRVING MET DEATH A HERO
WelI-KnoWn Actor and His Wife EN-
brace One Another AS Empress
of ireland Sinks to Bot
tom of River.

Quebec, June 1.-SurvivorS of the
Empress of Ireland, still dazed by the
closeness of their escape from death
and by the physical tortures they suf-
fered, told something of the expert
ences they had in the IA minutes be-
tween the time the liner was struck
by the collier Storstad and that yes
sci, shattered by collision and eXplo-
sion, sank in the st. Lawrence river
off Cock Point, to the east of Father
Point
In the Chateau Frontenac, in the
Seamans mission, in the hospitals,
and on ships where they are being
cared for and nursed they spoke of
their dangers.
There were stories of self-sacrifice
where men died that women might
live, of battles in the water, of life
boats falling on struggling men and
women in the water.
Sailors Not Blamed.
While many of the crew were saved
"a great number in comparison to the
number of passengers who were
drowned-there is no accusation
against members of the crew. The
decision of the surviving passengers
is that the boat sank so quickly after
the collision that there was no time
for the crew to do any rescue work
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Freeman of
Wisconsin at the Chateau Frontenac
told vivid story of their dash for
safety after the Empress was smashed
by the collier. Mr.. Freeman jumped
from his berth and, Selling sweater
he threw it around Mrs. Freeman. In
the dark they struggled up the COM
panionWay and made their way to the
port side, where the unmanageable
lifebOats were.
The boat keeled, and, determined to
die together, they jumped into the
water. They were separated, but
both could swim. Whirled about the
water, they finally were picked up
by boat from the Storstad.
Actor Irving Died Hero.
Laurence Irving, son of the late Sir
Henry Irving and we'll known on the
English and American stages, lost his
life in the sinking of the Empress of
Ireland while he was trying to save his
wife.
F. E. Abbott of Toronto was the last
man to see Irving alive.
81 met him first in the passageway
and he asked calmly, is the boat 60
ing DOWN.
Il said that it looked like it.
'Dearie,' Irving then said to his
wife, hurry, there is no time to lose
Mrs. Irving then began to cry, and
as the actor reached for life belt the
boat suddenly lurched forward and he
was thrown against the door of his
cabin. His face was bloody and Mrs.
Irving became frantic.
keep COOL he warned her, but
she persisted in holding her arms
around him.
"He forced the life belt over her
and pushed her out of the door. He
then practically carried her upstairs.
l said, Can l help your and Irving
said, No, yourself first old man, but
God bless you all the same
Il left the two-man and wife
struggling. l got on deck and dived

timber and, holding on tight, looked
around. Irving was by this time on
deck. He was kissing his wife, and as
the ship went down they were clasped

Put That Pain to Use

The network of nerves in your body,
like the network of wires in burglar
alarm system, gives quick warning
when anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at 1t in this way pain is
q useful alarm. Now, kidney weak
ness is a dangerous thing-a condition
not to be neglected-and it is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals of sick kidneys.
Backache is a common warning of
congestion or Inflammation in the kid
neys. 1t may be dull, nagging pain, or
sharp twinge when STOPPING or lift
ing. There are likely to be disorders
Of urination, dizziness, headaches, and
drowsy, Respondent, tired feelings.
1t is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel,
dropsy, and fatal Brights disease.
AS a special medicine for weak kid
neys Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used for years all over the civilized
world, and surely are considered reli-
able. The patient can always help the
medicine immensely, however, by diet
ing lightly. using little or no liquor,
tea or coffee, keeping regular hours
and drinking lots OF pure water.

Pertinent Suuuestjon.

A wealthy but miserly merchant was
celebrated for having magnificently
decorated dining room, whilst his
viands were very few. A celebrated
wit was invited to dine on a certain
occasion, and the host asked him il he
didn't think the room elegant
"Yes." was the reply. But It is not
quite to my taste"
"And what change would you
maker" asked the host.
Well" answered the wit, "if this
were my house, you know, I would
have'-looking at the ceiling-"less

Hard Job for AGENT.

Some years ago the owner of a
small vaudeville house out West, who
had spent some time in the clothing
store he had formerly owned than he
had in school. found the receipts of
the theater dropping off, and decided
to cut expenses. A few days later
his vaudeville agent called him up
and said he was sending him quar-
.tet for the next weeks bill.
How many in a QUARTET" asked
the manager.
-Four" answered the agent, nat.
urally bit surprised at the question.
Nothing doing" came back the
manager. You'll have to cut it to a

A REBELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand a lot OF
abuse, but sometime it will surely re.
bel and demand proper food in place
OF the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on
which 1t has been made sick.
Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady Of Washington says: Three
years ago I was very i'll with catarrh
OF the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. I laid in bed four
months and my stomach was so weak
that l could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was SO
weak and emaciated after four months
OF this starvation that my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me In my chair.
But weak as my stomach was, it
accepted, relished and digested Grape
Nuts without any difficulty the first
time that wonderful food was tried
Il am now strong and in better
health than for a great many years
and am gradually growing still
stronger. rely on Grape-Nuts for
much of the nourishment that l get.
The results have certainly been won
derful in my case and prove that no
stomach is SO weak 1t will not digest
Grape-Nuts.
