TIRED LOOKING WOMEN

Some women always wear worn, tired look. It is the outward sign of nervousness, neurasthenia perhaps, with it's characteristic symptoms of worry, headaches and sleeplessness.
 Overwork, grief, undue excitement, the late hours and nervous strain of 8 strenuous social season, lack of out-of- door exercise, any or all of these may be responsible for the trouble but the most common cause at this season of the year is the grip.
 Whatever the cause, if you feel the need of more strength try the great non-alcoholic tonic, Dr. Williams Pink Pills. AS the nerves get their nourish- ment from the blood the treatment must be directed toward building up the blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills act directly on the blood and with proper regulation of the diet have proved of the greatest benefit in many cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by most neu- rasthenic patients, is also corrected by these tonic pills. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes $2. 50.
 Write for,the free booklet, Diseases of the Nervous System" and a diet book. Address: Dr. Williams Medi- cine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y.

L0NGBEACH DEFENDS
 MANY LAW SUITS
Result From Empire Day Disaster
 When Pier Fell

Correspondence of the ASSO. F'resS.)
 Los Angeles, May 9.-Unique features are involved in the Chafor suit, test case that was brought by George and Edward Chafor, the hus- band and minor son of Edith E. Chafor, who was killed May "A, 1913, in the collapse of a municipal pier at Long Beach, Cal. The accident was known as the Empire Day Disaster, since 1t occurred during a celebration by British residents of the late Queen Victoria's birthday
 Many Law Suits.
 In the collapse of the pier forty persons were killed outright and a number died afterwards from their injuries. Tn addition to the Chafor case, 1S7 suits for damages were filed ir the superior court, but trial of them was delayed by agreement un- til the state supreme court should de- eide the test case. The sums in the 1S7 cases total s3,5o0,O00.
 Damages of SIS, ,000 were asked for in the Chafor case and after a trial lasting twenty-one days, verdict of s7,50O was awarded the plaintiffs by jury in the superior court.
 Keynote Vibration.
 The theory of the "keynote' vi- bration was advanced by the city of Long Beach in it's defense. The key note" theory is an application of the traditional assertion that a violin player under certain circums stances by playing the "keynote'' of a great building can cause it to collapse. In applying this theory, the defense argued that a group of Scotch bag pipers leading the Empire Day cele- bration parade stopped on the pier and struck the dangerous keynote while the crowd, swaying to the 1ythm of the music accentuated this.
 The bag-pipers piped, it was shown, for several minutes while someone hurriedly sought a forgotten key to the municipal auditorium to admit the waiting crowd, gathered on the two-story pier. In the collapse, $50 persons on the top deck Of the bier were dropped thirty feet amid vreckage to the sand beneath.
 Pier Old and Rotten.
 The plaintiffs argued that the pier was old and rotten and collapsed through weakness and structural de- fects.
 The defense also advanced the theory that the city was performing a ''governmental Junction. in opera ting the pier and auditorium and therefore it was not liable for damages.
 This was opposed by the testimony of the plaintiffs, showing a payment of $25 for the use of the auditorium. This payment, it was contended, made the operation of the building a private enterprise conducted by the municipality.
 One of the speculative features of the case was as to the manner of collecting any awards if the supreme court should uphold the verdict and proportionately large damages should be given in the other hundred and eighty-seven cases.
 It was contended that actively used, municipal property could not be sub jected to levies to satisfy such judg- ments but only a restricted class of property attached It was pointed out by attorneys also, that such judg- ments, if rendered. never would be satisfied by a bond issue because, given the known elem ents Of human nature, the citizens Of Long Beach probably would not vote such an issue.

BANK BUSINESS DOUBLES.
But Stockholders SGet Only Small Portions of Earnings in Germany.

But Stockholders S1set Only Small
 Portions of Earnings in Germany. Correspondence of the Asso. Press)
 Berlin, May 9.-The business of the Imperial Bank of Germany in 1915 was much larger than ever be- fore, owing chiefly to large transac- t1ons for government. The turnover reached the stupendous total of $231, 1850, ,000, 0,00O,, which compares with SPA, 1000 for 1914, and SlOO,OOO, ,000 for 1913. In other words, the business of the bank has considerably more than doubled since the war began.
 The earnings were also far in ex- cess of all previous years. They amounted to 65,OO0.00O, or more than twice those of 1914. According to 8 law recently passed a special war tax was laid upon the Imperial l bank, in addition to the large pro- portion Of the earnings falling to the treasury under older laws. Thus the treasury gets 47,500,000 of the earn ings, whereas the stockholders get only $3,84O,000 or somewhat less than for 1914.

Daughters of Eve Now Wondering If War will Shut off Supply of Husbands

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 Rome, May 9.-A discussion of How to find a husband after the war;" is being carried on in the columns of the Piccolo. Intense in terest is indicated by the number of letters received from young women readers who confess their fears that there will not be enough men to go around. One of these declares her intention to emigrate to the United States in the hope of finding hus- band.
 Another points out that the un- married men remaining after the war who have suffered deeply by it's hard ships will be inclined to select as wives those women unspoiled by the new freedom which the absence of men at the front has given women, that the women to find a husband will have to be modest and obedient.

NOME, AHOY! CRY
 0F SEATTLE JACKS
Alaskan Port, Isolated Since Octo- Der, to Receive "0utSide" Ships

Seattle, Wash, May 12.-Steam- therly city in the world, which has been isolated since last October will be resumed on June 1 with the sail ing of the steam ship Umatilla from Seattle, Followed by the steamship Victorit on June 2. Soon after the last south-bound steamer left Nome on October 2S last, Boring Sea was entirely frozen over, and it was necessary, because of the winter cold, to suspend mining operations at Nome. The 2,00O or more people who were left behind when the last steamer sailed prepared to face the long winter. During the winter there was a letter mail service by dog team from Fairbanks, but news7 papers, magazines and parcels were not carried. The United States signal corps maintained connection with the outside world by means of cable and wireless
 The arrival of the first steamers from the south, in the last week in June, is the occasion of even greater excitement in Nome than the finish of the annual dog team race The ~ people are adV1Sed by cable of the departure of the boats from Seattle, and eager watch is kept for their smoke. Sometimes the steamers have a hard battle with the ice and are held for many days only a few miles from Nome, with ice conditions so unsafe that no one ventures to walk to shore. Again, the season may be favorable and the boats will come in sight of Nome without diffi- culty, and see firm ice between them and the shore. In such a case the passengers, or most of them will walk to Nome over the ice and will have a more prosaic landing than if they waited to be hoisted in the basket of the aerial tramway. There is no wharf at Nome and can be none for there is no harbor. Passengers gre taken ashore in the tramway and freight by lighter and tramway.
 Both of the boats now preparing to sail for Nome have every berth l reserved, and all the cargo room is spoken for. Much of the cargo will be reding matter, vegetables and
 fruit, of which the people of Nome stand in great need after eight , months of Imprisonment Most of l the north bound passengers are men interested in mining in Nome. and their families. They go out in autumn and return the next summer.

Credit to Board of Health For

on advice of the Inspector, refused to
be stampeded. By adhering to a con-
sentative course all health interests
