A fine Of $500 was imposed upon the

Capt. c. L. Stewart will appeal the
fine to the department Of commerce.

Of 5000 for each man is provided for
violation of this law.
Four Men Deserted
When the Aztec was here September
90 from Portland for Brisbane, four
men deserted, and four to take their
places were picked up on the wharf
and signed then and there, short
time before sailing, according to Cap
tain Stewart s statement. The steamer
sailed at fyethirty CLOCK in the
afternoon of September 10, after the
customs Offices had closed, and wait
ing for them TO reopen so men could
sign on before the commissioner would
have cost fifteen hours delay. Cap
tain Stewart noted in his log the sign
ing on of the men, and he will plead
unusual circumstances in his appeal to
Washington.

fine of this kind ever imposed here. If

Give Those Worn
Nerves A Rest

Housewives who are often "all un.
strung" are apt to think it due entire
ly to family cares.
But nervous troubles often come froH
kidney weakness, and then the best
help for il is to help the kidneys.
When the kidneys are slowed up from
a cold, or some unseen cause, their work
of altering the blood is hindered. POis
onous uric acid, which the kidneys
should throw off, clogs the blood, and
the nerves are constantly irritated.
Uric acid poisoning causes nervous
ness, "blues," crOssness, worry, head
ache, dizzy spells, tiredness, rheumatic
pains and indigestion, and, If allowed
to run on, heart disease, drOpsy, grave
and Bright = disease.
