LARGEST WARSH|P IN
 WORLD IS LAUNCHED
U. s. Dreadnaught Pennsyl- vania Formally Christened
 at Newport News

Newport News, Va, March 16.-Moored to pier at the shipyard here tonight lay the giant red hull of tEe new battleship Pennsylvania, the worlds greatest fight ing craft, awaiting completion after her successful trip today from the stocks to the waters of James river. Mechanics were back at work on the vessel almost as soon as tugs could take her in tow, the builders seeing that not minute was lost in preparing her for commission- ing not later than February 2S, 19f6.
 Secretary Daniels of the navy and Gov ernor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania headed the distinguished company on the launch
 ing stand to see the Pennsylvania take the water. Miss Elizabeth Kolo of Ger mantown, Pa, named the ship and broke bottle of champagne against the bow after Episcopal Bishop berry of Penn sylvania had delivered a prayer.
 Joining with the noisy welcome gwen the new dreadnaught by the whistles oi the presidential yacht Mayflower and harbor craft and the shouts of 10000 spec tators was the hoarse shriek of the siren of the German commerce raider Prinz Eitel Friedrich, tied up at a nearby pier. Commander Max Thierichens, the German captain, in full uniform. was guest on the launching stand
 A banquet was given late today at Old Point Comfort by the ship building com pany in honor of the sponsor, and Secre- tary Daniels was the principal speaker.

Don't Be Pussy
 About Eating
Your Stomach Will Digest Any Kind of Food When Given the
 Proper Assistance

We are prone to fall into the error
 of singling out some article of food
 and soundly berating the fiend who first
 invented the dish. The habit grows With
 some people till almost all food Is put
 on the blacklist This is all wrong. What
 is required Is a little assistance with
 those agencies upon which scientific
 students for many years have set their
 seal of approval because they have be-
 come absolute facts. Stuarts Dyspepsia
 Tablets for all stomach disorders are
 recognized; they have fine record; !;
 they are rated reliable, dependable and
 worthy of confidence just as the presi- dent of big bank puts his o. K. on depositor's check. And so you can eat what you want, whatever you like, knowing we'll that should indigestion, sour risings, gas formations fermen- tations or any other stomach distress arise, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in a few moments will put you right. Coated tongue, bad breath, heartburn, belching. fiatulency, bloat-all the symptoms of digestive troubles disap- pear quickly when these tablets are used. They are not cure for anything but dyspepsia and kindred complaints. But they have brought relief to more sufferers from digestive diseases than all the patent medicines and doctors S prescriptions put together.
 The stomach does the heaviest work of any of the bodily organs, yet it's the one we treat with the least regard. We eat too much of the wrong kind of food at any time. The patient stomach stands such treatment as long as 1t can and then it rebels. You get notice of the rebellion in the shape of the gases and pains caused by undigested, fermenting food.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold and recommended by all druggists at soc box.

Resolutions Adopted

"The jitney cars. as now operated in Birmingham are a public menace
 Tt is matter of common Knowledge that the cars engaged in the jitney bust. ness are in the main unmarke etble sec ond-hand cars, bought for few hum dred dollars on the partial payment plan, and mortgaged for a large part of their small value.
 "Uncontralled by franchise regula- tions, such as are imposed on all other common carriers, comparatively tax exempt, and many of them judgment proof, they gambol through our streets in carnival of nickel-grabbing, with a disregard for public safety, which im- munity from regulation by law invites, and which financial Responsibility for their wrongs and injuries assures.
 "Therefore, Resolved by the board of directors of the Chamber of Com merce, that we hereby petition the city commissioners to require the operators of jitney cars to operate under a fran chise, by which the business will be regulated so as to protect the lives and property of the public, and by which they will be required to furnish ade- quate bonds securing their compliance with the franchise regulations, and se- surfing the public in it's lawful Tight to compensation for their wrongful in juries to persons and property
 The foregoing resolutions wero unanimously adopted by the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce at meeting held Friday, March 12. 1915. CRAWFORD JOHNSON.

 ticed Is Martyr to
 Mankind

Some day." says an eminent American scientist, there will be erected a mon. ument to guinea pigs in Central park New York, in honor of it's services tc mankind" This attractive and inofren. sive little animal that is pet of many children is also favorite of scientist, for experimentation, and particularly for vlvisection. Its period of long sufferinc 1s by no means ended, for many human diseases are yet to be analysed at lis ex . pense. One of the splendid accomplish. ments with the little animal was the dis. covery of antitoxin for blood poison.
 This is an age of great enlightenment in medicine and surgery Take. for in. stance, the comparatively recent discovery of vitalitas. This remar kable product fs proving SO beneficial in the treatment of a large variety of ills that demand for it has sprung up throughout many states Its merits lie in the fact that 1t Is a nat ural tonic and corrective and may be safely used in the home either as a mild tonic or as cure for many chronic dis orders of stomach, liver. kidneys. bowels and blood. While 1t is in the nature of 6 condensed mineral water, still none of the most beneficial waters of the world will compare with 1t as a curative and corrective. As a spring tonic it should be in every home. It is pleasant to take and is pure.

How Boston Came to Elec-
trify Her Surface Lines
BJ Holland

Asa Potter. at one time a Boston
banker, was associated with Henry NJ.
Whitney in some important public
service undertakings in Boston, was
describing to me year or two ago
the points of resemblance between
Henry NJ Whitney and his more wide
" known brother William c. Whitney,
and also the points Of difference,
when an incident of which he had
personal knowledge and which oc-
Cured in Richmond, Va, led him 10
remark that it was Henry NJ. Whit
ney's intuitive business judgment
wrich made il possible for Boston 10
take the lead among the cities of the
United States in the development o.
electricity upon 4 great scale for the
hauling of street cars.
1T happened in this way" said Mr.
Potter. "Mr. Whitney. with myself
and three others. were perfecting a
plan for the unification OF the street
car lines IN Boston. In some way
Mr.. Whitney heard that Frank l.
Sprague had made a demonstration
in Richmond of the capacity OF the
electric energy for hauling stree
cars over a level road and up a hill
as we'll Mr. whitney said that I
Sprague was actually able to do thi:
with electricity his apparatus was go

I'VE went TO Richmond and pur
posely took rooms in a hotel whicl
was built upon a hillside in the bust
ness portion Of the city and was. a
I recollect, near the State capito
building. We made up our mind
that if electricity could haul ca
up that hill Il was somthing to b
reckoned with.

tracted. We looked out of the window
and saw that IL was caused by the
trolley car coming up the hill The
car moved all right and We noticed
that there were a number OF people
in il. But all. with the exception
Of Mr.. Whitney, said that Boston
would never submit such a noise as
that. We thought that this was go
ing to be an insurmountable obstacle
to our utilization OF electricity in
Boston.
Mr. Whitney waited until the car
had passed on up the hill. then he
turned 10 us and said. If electricity
can pull that car up this hill then
il is surely going to supplant horse
power. That noise that you heard
is only an incident. II certainly will
be overcome. II is from the COM
mercial point OF view trifling de-
feet If our further Investigations
are satisfactory. then the thing for
us to do is to go back TO Boston. per-
suade the city government to give us
permits and install our system with
electricity. II we do that we shall
/ be the first large city to equip street
/ railway lines with electric energy
"The others in the party were per-
suaded that Mr. Whitney was right,
and i'm what seems now TO be an in
credibly short time Boston was oper-
ating her street car lines with cleo
/ tricity, and other cities in the United
States rapidly followed the example.

as the rest Of the party were by the
noise that car made when going up a

have gained that prestige"
