OPPOSE SEAMEN's Law.
Maritime Association to Appeal to
Wilson to Have Act Repealed.

New York, June 30.-The Maritime
Association of the Port of New York,
numbering 500 representatives of
domestic and foreign steamships lines
entering this port, is to send an appeal
to President Wilson urging him to
call congress in special session to re-
peal the present seaman's law.
In resolution adopted by the as
sociation, a copy of which was to be
sent to the President, it was set forth
that enforcement Of this law will
be most disastrous in effect, and its
drastic and impracticable provisions
will defeat the very purposes for
which it was said to be enacted" The
situation is SO critical to shipping in
terests, 1t is asserted, as to warrant
end fully justly the President in cal
ling a special session of congress for
the repeal Of this law before its ruiz
nous provisions shall become effec-
tive. Unless the law is repealed the
association asserts, long established
lines will Of necessity be withdrawn
and other lines heavily handicapped.
Copies of the resolutions were sent to
every commercial organization along
the Atlantic seaboard.

NEW METHODS IN WHALING
old-F ashioned Harpoon Has Been Dis
carded for the Most Modern Of
Deadly Weapons.
(TO BE CONTINUED

In early days the wooden sailing
ships engaged in the whaling indus
try in southern seas pursued only
right whales and sperm whales. or
cachalots. The so-called "finners,
such as the blue whale, the largest
animal in the world; the finer whale;
the small fish whale; and the hump
back, were all too active, and sank too
quickly when killed. But their turn
has now come, for the modern whale
gun is finely fashioned cannon, the
harpoon carries a shell, and the body
of the whale is kept afloat by initiating
it with air through pipes from the
engine room Of the whaler. The rem
dering Is now done in factory on
shore. or in special large vessel
moored in the harbor. Besides the
whalebone, which no longer pays well
or at ALL and the OIL which is graded
into qualities as 1t comes from the
blubber, the fat of the tongue and kid
neys, the flesh and bones and the
refuse, there remain the dried flesh
and bones, which are now also put TO
commercial use. The absolutely fresh
flesh Is used to make whale-meat meal,
nutritious and wholesome foodstuh
that Is largely fed to cattle. From
the remaining flesh and about third
of the bones whale guano is made. and
from the bones alone bone meal. The
largest whaling business In the world
is now conducted in the Falkland Is
lands and their dependencies. The
season begins In November, and lasts
until the end Of April, and the aver
age production of oil is nearly half
million barrels; of guano, s,375 tons.
The industry gives employment to
about $500 men.-Youth's Companion.

The chief bookkeeper In a large

coffee and tea did for him:

coffee. 1t happened in this way:
II had an attack of pneumonia,
which left me with dyspepsia, or neu-
ralgia OF the stomach. My cup OF
cheer had always been coffee or tea.
but became convinced, after time,
that they aggravated my stomach
trouble. l happened to mention the
matter to my grocer one day and he
suggested that l give Postum a trial.
Next day 1t came, and we liked 1t
so much that we will never change
back; for / am well man today and
have used no medicine.
MY work as chief bookkeeper in
our Co.'S branch house here is OF a
very combining nature. During my COZ
