STORYOF SHIP
BY REAL "JINX"

Captain Santa Cruz spending several
thousand dollars for the work.
In June Captain Jack Hunter was
brought to Mobile to take command
of the Hildegard, as he is rated as one
of the most dependable and expert
enced masters plying in the gulf.
Her Jinx Pursues Her.
On June 16, she was lowed to the
lower bay, loaded with a full timber
cargo. Several days later without
warning she turned turtle while an
chored near the Quarantine station at
Fort Morgan. She was dragged into
shallow water by one of the lower bar
tugs, the crew "skinning" the ropes
which lead from her stern to the tug
like rats making their escape, while
the vessel was practically sinking.
She lay on her side in shallow water
for several weeks.
A derrick barge later was sent to
her assistance and she was raised.
Two days later Mate Olsen went in
to her hold for the purpose Of inspect
ing the extent Of the damage. He
failed to return and a few hours later
he and Captain Green, a father-in-law
of Captain Santa Cruz, were found
lying side by side. The mate was
dead and the captain was in seri-
Gus condition, but later recovered.
The Hildegard was towed to this city
July %, and after undergoing repairs
was again released fr6SzAhe dry docks
She was towed to theS1sger bay apd
was ready to sail for her destina-
ton when the third accident occurred.
"Will the Hildegard ever leave Mo
bile bay?"
Captain Santa Cruz says she will if
he ''has to sail her himself"

nae Mobile Item saws:

The Mobile Item says:
Three times the rechristened bar
kentine Hildegard has tried to leave
Mobile bay. Two men have gone into
her hold and have failed to return
alive, while a third who ventured be-
low was rescued only in the nick of
time, and still the barkentine is an
chored in the lower bay.
"Will she make it on her fourth
attempt?" is the question that is on
the tongue of every sea faring man in
Mobile. The last man to meet with a
mysterious death was the cook. He
was found dead by members of the
crew after having prepared the even
ing meal for Captain George j. Santa
Cruz, the owner of the vessel, her
master and crew. He is said to have
died of heart failure.
Since 1906 the albatross has failed
to perch on the masthead of this yes
sci. She has met with series of
mishaps, including wreck by storm,
just plain turning turtle and deaths
among the crew. Now Captain Jack
Hunter, master of the vessel, is hav-
ing hard time in getting the rest of
his crew.
After having been abandoned fol
lowing the storm of 1906 in which the
Hildegard Cat the time the Norwegian
bark Henny), wen beached somewhere
in the gulf between Mobile and Pen
sacola, she was salvaged by a tow
boat concern of Pensacola. The early
part of this year she was bought by
Captain Santa Cruz, to enter the No
bile and Buenos Aires trade.
She was brought to Mobile in the
spring, and placed on one of the local
drydocks and completely overhauled

Should Properly Enforce
Laws Regulating Autos.

] The Journal has on several occa-
sions within the past few months called
attention 10 the lax methods of en-
forcing the automobile laws, especial
", those relating to fast and reckless
driving, but as yet the city commits
gioners have to act and give the peo-
pie the police protection for which
they are annually taxed. The person
ell Of the police department is not to
blame for this condition The city
commissioners alone are responsible.
There have been several serious ac-
cidents In and around Pensacola dur
ing the past few weeks, but It was
not until yesterday morning that there
was q fatality. There have been nu-
merous near accidents by reason Of
reckless and fast driving and citizens
almost take their lives in their hands
when they cross some of the streets
when such drivers are passing.
The accident Of yesterday morning
could have been prevented had the
commissioners given orders for the
strict enforcement of the traffic laws.
The driver of this car evidently felt
free to do as he had seen others do.
The others had escaped accident, but
he was not so fortunate.
There will be more accidents in the
future. The number of cars owned in
Pensacola is increasing daily. The
drivers of some become more reck-
less with each day and unless a halt
is called other deaths may be ex-
pected in the near future.

plans; there was now added reason for
renewing them.
Ohio had been deemed part of vIrginla's
domain.
Almost every State upon the seaboard
had had at the first a grant from the
crown which read as IL II had meant to
set no boundaries at the west at all ex-
cept the boundaries of the continent it.
SELF; and virginia's grant was the Oldest
of them all.
Virginia claimed practically all the
western country which lay north OF her
own southern line, extended under the
terms Of her charter of 1903, which de-
fined her territory as running from her
boundaries at the seAcoast up into the
land throughout from sea to sea. west
and northwest"
But the other colonies as they were
formed had also received their charters
which had straight westward outlook.
practically without bound or limit this
side of the Pacific; and each laid conf
dent claim to it's own long western strip
OF the continent.
It was in part to quiet these conflicting
claims, in part TO give herself, who had
no grant at all at the west, some parity
with her partners in the Confederation,
that Maryland had insisted, as oondi-
ton precedent to her acceptance Of the
articles, that all the western territory be
coded to the Confederation itself, as a
joint and common property to be held for
the use and benefit OF all.
New York, accordingly, had ceded her
claims in 1854; and Virginia so much of
hers as lay north of the Ohio, IN 1913.
The other States were virtually pledged
to follow their example.
The West was already practically COM
mon property. Whatever should be dono
to bind 1t to the East would bring so
much nearer the promise. dawn of a
national life.

Lime Medication
in tuberculosis

In the New York Medical Record Of
December 8, 1914, Or. John North, of
Toledo, says. "a have come to the con-
cIusIon that one of the most prominent
causes (of tuberculosIs) Is lime starva-
tlon.' In all cases Of lncIpIent tubercu-
IosIs there Is a deficiency Of calcium.
Many do not eat food containing
enough lime. : In each case we must
resort to lime medication"
Eckman's Alternative should be given
a fair trial in such cases, because one
of its chief ingredients is calcium Qime),
in such combination with other rem
edial agents as to be easily assimi-
lated in the average person.
Where its use is combined with prop
er diet, from air and hygenic living
conditions, we believe 1t will prove ben
eficial in any case Of tuberculosis.
It contains no opiates, narcotics or
habit-forming drugs, so is safe to try.
