American Zines Great Jump to Wealth

From net profits of SIT, 900 in 1914 To
SIS. 200, 900 in 1915, and So 300 600 in
1916, records as spectacular jump
from poverty to affiuence as can be
presented by any industrial or mining
company enriched by the exigencies of
the European war There is the re-
cord of the American Zinc, Lead and
Smelling Co., as disclosed by the an

A PROVISION in the naturalization
laws, which most people are unfamiliar
with, is being brought TO the attention
of the people at the present time. The
statue referred TO says that citizens of
foreign country cannot be admitted
to citizenship if the United States is at
war with the country Of their birth.
No alien who is a native citizen or sub
iect, or denizen Of any country, state
or sovereignty shall be admitted to
citizenship if the u S. is at war at
the time OF application.

SEATTLE, May 10. - Judge

Seventy-five were charged by

as Tracy, of this number, was tried

Labor men declare the acquittal
of Tracy and the freeing of the
other prisoners is a notable vic

Tacoma will give 100000 to
wipe out the building debt of the
Tacoma General hospital.
A campaign to raise this
amount has been launched by the
trustees of the Institution. Be-
tween June Is and June 80 a
canvass of every resident of the
community will be made, accord
ing to statement issued by the
trustees.
THE institution is on a self
sustaining basis" says President
S. M. jackson. except for the in
terest charges on the building
debt, which have become an &C
cumulating burden and the source
of the gravest concern. There
fore 1t has been decided to make
general appeal to remove the
debt from the building SO that the
current income will be entirely
available for the more and more
exacting demands of the modern
community service"
From a total of 1856 patients
cared for in 1915. the activity of
the hospital has increased until ii
is expected record of 1000 pa
tients will be set for this year, an
increase of 100 per cent.
During the last IL months 800
babies were born in the maternity
department.
Within the last so days the Ia
coma General has been made a
naval base hospital, and in emer-
gency will be called to take
care of 1900 wounded soldiers
and sailors.
Established 33 years ago, the
hospital has become one of the
greatest institutions OF the north
west. The demands made upon II
are constantly growing.
Headquarters of the campaign
for funds have been established in
the Bowes building, 9th and A
SITS. Chairmanships and commit
tees for the campaign will be
selected at meeting of the trus-
tees at the Bank of California

advances to the employers" ex-
planned the big, we'll dressed long
shoreman president.
Undoubtedly, committees will
be elected at this convention to
wait upon the waterfront bosses
and ask them to cut out their pres
ent rough methods.
There's a blacklist against
union longshoremen.
"One employer of waterfront
labor right here in Tacoma, con-
nected with certain railroad
company, has even gone so far as
to prevent longshoremen from
getting Jobs with other concerns,
simply because of union affilia-
lions.
rs that right? Isn't It bound to
arouse bitter feeling? There is no
other city in America where the
employers have opened their own
longshoremen's hall, and put real
'scab-herders' in charge of it.
Labor Scarce.
Conditions are intolerable,
tell you. All the longshoremen
want Is square deal. They're
sorry for their mistakes. Why
can't the employers be real men,
and settle all the differences as
real men should?"
Labor Is becoming so scarce in
the east as to be alarming, OCon-
nor said. Ditch diggers are re-
ceiving 40 cents an hour. and there
aren't enough men to fill he de-
mand.
I'm six or eight weeks there'll
be such scarcity of labor in Ia
coma and other western cities that
the employers will be on their
knees, crying for workmen. And
they won't get them. Enlistments
are taking lots of men. New in
dustries, such as your ship-build-
ing plants, are taking others.
Favor Food Control.
Labor people everywhere favor
the plan for Uncle Sar to take
over the nations food supply, says
O'Connor.
"The high cost of living is a
real menace in the east. especially
with the working people. When
| left Chicago, potatoes were Sc
a hundred pounds, and going up
every day. It's the spectators
who are to blame. II Uncle Sam
will take over the food supply, II
will please everyone"

III FAVORITE FOODS
UPSET STOMACH
TAKE MAGNESIA

If some of the foods you like
best do not agree with you and
make your stomach sour or burn,
producing acid indigestion don't
think you must give up eating
these good things and do not,
either, make the mistake of swal-
lowing pepsin or soda pills after
every meal. Instead just make a
practice Of taking a teaspoonful of
pure bisurated magnesia in half a
glass of hot water right after eat
ing. The hot water will force a
needed blood supply to your stom-
ach and the bisurated magnesia
will instantly neutralize any excess
Of stomach acid and your digestion
will be natural and painless. b.
surated magnesia is not a laxative
and its continued use. is entirely
harmless as 1t never weakens
natural digestion. 1t can be OBJ
tanned at all well stocked drug
stores. Be sure to get Bisurated
Magnesia. Do not use other
forms Of Magnesia for this pur-
pose. q

This was the statement today OF
Charles r. Nawter, professor In
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, fol
lowing his acquittal of numbering
Stockton lleth, jr., young society
man and sportsman whom he shot
to death March Ia, after Heth had
invaded his home.
Vawter attacked the prosecu-
tion for "the injustice to Mrs.
Vawter," who took the stand and
barred her relations with Heth To
save her husband.
Defending Vawter she testified
that she had her finger on the
trigger when the fatal shop was
fired. She also testified that young
Heth had been a frequent visitor
at the Vawter home. that she had
been infatuated with him and had
been intimate with him.
Il greatly regret the whole af-
fair and the sorrow caused" said
Vawter, a free man, in his state
ment today.
sWhile I am blameless as
to Heth's death, I realize that
have been guilty of weak
ness when I should have been
strong"
One of the most sensational fea-
lures of the trial was the intro
duction by the prosecution of two
letters from Vawter to Heth, con-
doning the relations between Heth
and Mrs. Vawter, and asking Heth
to pay Vawter's liquor bill.
The jury deliberated only two
and one-half hours before return
Ing verdict of not guilty.
