Passenger on the American
Steamer China Describes
Seizure By the British.

San Francisco, Cal. March 1.-THE
American steamer China, from which
30 men were taken by a British board
ing party. Feb. is. off the Japanese
coast, arrived here today. Capt F. E.
Frazer declined to make public the de-
tails of the boarding Of the China. but
some of them we're supplied by Mrs
W. b. Knapp, a passenger. who said
she took stenOgraphic notes of some
of the conversation.
The passengers were lined up on the
deck by a boarding party and each
man was asked II he was German, &C
cording to Mrs. Knapp, who said the
Germans, Austrians and Turks were
then segregated.
Families Are Separated.
Two Of the Germans taken off, W.
F. Schuetter. a merchant Of Using Tau,
and Richard Weber, left their wives
aboard the China. Mrs. Weber was
left with three children.
The women were crying and sob
bing," said Mrs Knapp, and one OF
the British officers, touched at the
plight Of Mrs. Weber, said to Weber:
Get out of here-get below
Weber Talked Too Much.
Weber" said Mrs. Knapp, was
headstrong and protested the right of
the British to take off any Germans,
SO finally he was removed to the
Laurence with the 81 others"
Look Tin Eli, president Of the China
Mail Steamship company, owner Of the
China, was at the dock when the ves-
sci arrived. but beyond q comment that
the episode was "a serious one" he
had nothing to say

poetry and imagery of the original, and
II is altogether a charming object. From

SUGGESTIONS TO
SICK WOMEN
How Many Are Restored To
Health.

First.-Almost every operation IN
our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displscements, pain
in the side, burning sensation in the
stomach, bearing down pains, nervous
ness, dizziness and sleeplessness. q
SecOnd.-Themedicine most success
full in relieving female ills 10 Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound 1t
regulates and strengthens the organism;
it overcomes disease.
For forty years it has been making
women strong and well, relieving back
ache, nervousness, liberation and in
iammation, weakness, displacements,
irregularity and periodic pains. 1t
has also proved invaluable in prepar-
ing for childbirth and the Change Of
Life.
Third.-The great number of unso-
licited testimonials on file at the Pink
ham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, many
of which are from time to time published
by permission, are proof Of the value Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, in the treatment Of female ills
FOurth.-Every ailing woman IN the
United States is cordially invited to
write to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine

Girls and Good Times 3
Beatrice Fairfax Writes About Enjoyment and Its Limits
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

her youth in a feverish quest for pleas
ure and that she never catches up with
honest joy. Father is very wise.
The girls of today are a rather dis
cOntented, excitable set Of beings A
brilliant and distinguished old physi-
clan said to me recently; The city is
a bonfire. People come to it-and
burn up"
A bonfire burns brightly for while
and sends out a warm, beautiful glow.
It consumes all that falls within its
flame and leaves very small heap Of
charred ashes.
The girls of today actually fluttsr
like falling leaves. Premature frost
touches them. they glow with color for
awhile. the wind blows them where II
will: and at last. sere and dry before
their time. the bonfire of the city con-
sumes them.
Needed In Moderation.
No sane human being denies for a
moment that youth needs color and
light Joy, but It needs them in modera-
lion. auc today it seeks them fmmod-
erately. Rushing about evening after
evening end day after day in pursuit
OF pleasure takes the fine edge off
cnes appetite for pleasure. It il a
have enough Of a thing-we have too
much. Desire does not end with en-
joyment, and enjoyment circles back 10
end with desire.
SaUSIE all desires just as lney come
and each return of them will mean a
little less enjoyment. No human being
ever gets the same ecstatic glow from
a second sTeat experience that he got
from the first Just like II. The first
time an author sees his name in print
he reaches the heights; but gradually
seeing his name in print becomes q
ma tier Of course. So with Joy.
The girls who go out evening after
evening and claim they must have a
gay time at the weekend to make up
for the hard work that went before,
come after awhile to be rather mechan-
ical in their enjoyment II they were
just a little more discriminating about
going out less frequently, and then
with selected and chosen companions,
they would get far more happiness out
of each pleasure excursion and they
would avoid the unpleasant come
back" of criticism which always falls
to a girls lot when she Is too much in
evidence.
Father is wise in his day and gener-
alton and wise for ours The girl who
seeks only to enjOy-enjOys nothing
Be wise in choosing your pleasures and
selective in choosing the friends with
whom you enjoy them.

MEXICAN STARTS
METCALF STRIKE
All Employees of Mines and

pany Walk Out.

Clifton, Ariz., March 11-When
Mexican miner employed by the shan
non Copper company at Metcalf was
discharged by the shift boss, all the
employees at the mines at Metcalf and
the smelter at Clifton walked out. The
mines and plant are idle today
The Mexican miner had refused to
work with a mucker assistant, de-

miner and not mucker.
General manager J. W Bennie says
the issue raised in this incident is one
