North Sea ran as high in some in
stances as thirty per cent-a cargo
valued at 100000 thus paying $50, 900
in insurance to cover the war hazards
of the brief voyage. Rates to the far
East went as high as twenty per cent,
neutral ports reached ten per cent
$4,000 on a 100000 cargo.
The situation called for prompt ac-
ton. The marine insurance problem
was rated among the most serious
brought up by the war A special
conference of businessmen called to-
gether by the Secretary of the Treas
ury decided unanimously that the
three things demanding immediate
government attention were the needs
for a merchant marine, for facilities
for financing foreign trade, and for
handling war risk insurance. The in
surapce feature was acted upon at
once. A bill was passed through Con-
gress within two weeks, in spite of
some opposition in the House. Amer
lean business interests favored the
measure almost unanimously, as the
private underwriters were obviously
embarrassed by the situation.
The bill provided for the estab-
lishment of a Bureau of War Risk
Insurance in the Treasury Department,
and the day after the President signed
the measure, the bureau opened for
business. 1t was accepting risks
two weeks before 1t could set them
forth on it's regular form policies, be-
cause the policies weren't printed yet.
1t has issued 1444 policies to date, an
average of eighty a month. The pol
icies are no small ones. The aggre-
gate of the risks is over one hundred
and twenty million dollars.
The immediate effect of the estab-
lishment of the bureau was the STAN
dardizing and lowering of the rates.
Between nonbelligerent ports in the
western hemisphere the rate went
down to 81 cents on the $100, where
in the early days OF the war ii had
been in some cases as high as $40.
Rates to the far East sank to one dol
lar or the 500, the panic rates hav-
ing been as high as SIS or $40 in some
cases. On large and valuable cargoes
such differences soon total immense
sums. The rates of course would
have come down in any case but the
bureau caused them to come down
promptly and to the lowest practical
owing to the fact that commerce de-
stroyers have been practically swept
from the seas.
So accustomed has the world be-
come to war conditions that all these
rates for war risk insurance have been
tabulated and published. Only in the
case of certain special ports notably
those in the United Kingdom and the
belligerent countries of Europe, the
bureau considers each application for
insurance individually, and makes a
special rate based on the war situa-
ton and the nature of the vessel and
| its cargo.
The making of rates is plainly the
bureaus most important and delicate
task. The Office is organized accord
ingly. The regular staff consists of
only a Director, an Assistant Director,
three clerks and a messenger
pretty small force for concern doing
two million dollar business In ad-
dition however, there is an Advisory
Board composed of three expert in
surance men.

200 Powder Workers Quit
After Big Explosion
Sbeeiai TO the Telegraph

Emporium, Pa, July I. - The big
powder mills of the Aetna Explosives
Company are idle. as the result of a
strike of 200 employees yesterday. The
machinists and pipe filters demanded
an increase of 10 per cent. IN wages,
in addition to their usual bonus, and
also that they would not be compelled
to do any repair work in the drying
houses while they were filled with
powder.
Their demands were refused and
they quit work. They had left the
mills only a few minutes when they
were followed by nearly all of the
worl- 1rce, who also demanded a
10 per cent. increase.
The strike is said to be the outcome
OF last Saturdays explosion, which
cost the lives of IL workmen. Since
that time there has been considerable
disaffection and virtually every en-
ploye of the drying department haR
quit work since the explosion.

CHAPTER I

CHAPTER
Copyright, 1916, Star Coz
Il advise you to accept the posi-
tion, Miss Morley" the manager of
The Business School was saying. Such
opportunities do not come every day,
nor to many beginners. Were 1 not
sure of your proficiency, I would
not have suggested you for Hale
* Balm bridge. For they want a
really capable person in their office.
Why do you hesitate?"
You think L could satisfy them ?"
the girl evaded.
Certainly, the manager replied
cGrtiy. Then, as a student entered
to make some inquiry, he added,
Think it over and decide. ] will
be with you in a minute"
He went back to his desk and
left Agnes Morley to her thoughts.
E'ut these were not Of doubt as to
her ability to take the place Of
fcred her. She knew that she had
learned more rapidly than most of
the girls in her classes.
She was not conceited in ac-
knowledsing this fact. Stenog-
raphy and typewriting had come
easily to her. She would have said
that ii Just happened So" To
some persons languages were easy,
to others mathematics. She had not
found it difficult to prepare herself
for position in a business office.
She might be a little nervous at
the prospect of beginning to prac-
tise that which she had been study
ing in this school, but that did not
make her hesitate about accepting
this particular place offered her.
Her hesitation was due to her
knowledge that Philip Hale was the
son of the senior member of the
firm for whom she was to work.
And she and Pbilin EaIa x,,ara
friends
They had become acquainted a
year ago at a church sociable. One
OF the ladies of the Guild had in
trcduced them to each other
Church affairs are great Jewelers. of
no other function would Philip
Hale, the son of William Hale, have
met as an equal the poor niece Of
Miss Lucy Morley, a member in
good and regular standing in the
West Congregational Church
For Miss Lucy had owned a milli-
ner's shop until i'll health had
fashionable milliner at that
Nevertheless, she had accumulated
enough money while in business to
enable her to support thus far her
self and Agnes, her brothers
orphaned child.
IAiSli SNitOOA
Although Miss Lucy had had but
a common school education, she had
insisted that Agnes go through high
school and later take thorough
course in an excellent business
school. The elderly invalid could
i'll afford this, for the little money
she had laid aside was dwindling
fast, and her friends said that it
was time that her niece was earn
ing enough to maintain them both.
ITO make that possible, 1 intend
that she shall have a good start
and be well prepared" Miss Lucy
declared.
When Agnes Morley met Philip
Hale, the lad was a freshman at
the University. He was three years
Younger than Agnes, and she had at
first regarded him only as a nice
boy" Then as they became better ac-
quainted, she found herself liking
him more and more

ROAD TO HEALTH Is
THROUGH THE KIDNEYS

No person alive is stronger than his
kidneys. The minute the kidneys be-
come disarranged or clogged with
waste the warning is flashed through
out the entire system. The greater
part of all sickness today can be avoid
ed by keeping the kidneys working
properly.
Most any reliable druggist in this
vicinity can probably tell you of many
well-knOwn people whom Solvax, the
standard kidney remedy, has restored to
health, often after they have tried
many other methods of treatment with
little or no benefit.
There are hundreds of people who
were not the least bit surprised when
they read awhile ago that Daniel j.
Fry is selling SOlvax on guarantee
to refund the money in case it did not
relieve. This remarkable kidney rem
edy is guaranteed to help the worst
case of lazy, sluggish, or clogged-up
kidneys, or the general headachy, kinky
backed, played out condition that af-
flicts people suffering with kidney
trouble. Solvax does not simply re-
lieve. 1t aims to cure.
The best kind of Advertising is the
praise of a pleased customer, and there
are hundreds today praising Solvax be-
cause it has done for them what it is
advertised to do. Not very long ago
they were afflicted with all manner of
sickish, uncomfortable pains and each
day seemed to bring with it a new ache
in some other part of their body. Since
using Solyax they are once more bright
and clipper and able to enjoy life al
its fullest with no more fear of suf
fering.
We doubt if any other kidney remedy
has made such a large percentage OF
cures as Solvax. 1t is so large that its
owners are perfectly safe in standing
ready to refund the price to any Gus
toner whom it does not help. This is
good time to get well and you ought
to take advantage of this offer. Gel
it from Daniel j, Fry or any wei
stocked drug store.

Women at Wooden Mill
Object to Efforts of
Welfare Commission

The women employees Of the Thomas
Kay Wooden Mills sent a delegation to
appear before Governor Withycombe
Saturday to protest against the efforts
Of the welfare commission to place them
under the rulings reducing the hours of
work for women The women at the
wooden mills are doing piece work and
make from $50 to $40 per month and
they state that if their hours are re-
duced from 10 to S hours per day that
their wages will be reduced about 20
per cent.
There are l25 employees at the wool
en- mill Of whom over 40 are women and
there are about 80 weavers, of whom
% are women. The women weayers are
making wages equal to the men, but
since men can be employed at the same
rate the women argue that they will
lose their positions which will be given
to men who can work 10 hours per day.
Since so per cent of the product of
the local mill is sold outside of the state
the mill is brought into competition
with mills in states where 10 hours is
allowed and the owners Of the mill feel
that they cannot afford to have their
machinery idle for the two extra hours
each day and remain in the competition
with the mills that are allowed to work
10 hours per day Accordingly if the
Welfare commission rules that the wom-
en- who are employed by piece work
cannot work more than hours per day,
the women will be discharged and men
will be put in their places A delega-
ton of the women from the woolen mill
will also be sent to Portland to appear
before the commission in Portnd.

SAYS ACID STOMACH
CAUSES INDIGESTION
Excess Of HydrOChlOriC Acid
SOurs the Food and
Forms Gases

Undigested food delayed in the stom-
ach decays, or rather, ferments tae
same as food left in the open air, says
a noted authority. He also tells us
that Indigestion is caused by Hyper
acidity, meaning, there is an excess of
aydro-chloric acid is the stomach which
prevents complete digestion and starts
food fermentation. Thus everything
eaten sours in the stomach much like
garbage sOurs in can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like a toy balloon. Then we
feel heavy, lumpy misery in the
cnest, we belch up gas, we eructate
sour food or have heartburn, flatu.
lence, water-brasi or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
a tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast and drink while it is
effervescing and furthermore, to con
tinue this for week. While relief
follows the first dose, it is important
to neutralize the acidity, remove the
gas-making mass, start the liver, stimu-
late the kidneys and thus promote a
free flow of pure digestive juices.
Jads Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.
