Ancient Industry Has Undergone Note
worthy Revival in America In
Last Few Years.

News dispatches telling of the re-
cent capture of three sperm whales
by Grays Harbor hunters serve as a
reminder that the ancient industry of
whaling has undergone noteworthy
revival in the last few years. II Is
an interesting fact that this revival
has been due largely to the develop
ment of the battleship, one of the
most modern creations of man.
Hundreds of whacrs from Amerl-
can ports sailed the seas in the times
before the Civil war, when whale oil
was used for lighting. The discovery
of petroleum caused q slump in the
industry Historic New Bedford and
Nantucket became tile honeyards of Il
once mighty fleet, and the race of
hardy American mariners developed
by whaling became almost extinct.
The old romances passed into tradi-
ton.
But rs ships. and particularly bat.
tleships, grew in size ard number 1t
was found that for use in certain of
the bearings in their Ionderous en-
g.nes there was nothing that would
quite take the place of Cease oil"
found in the head Of the sperm whale.
which is strangely clear and does not
disintegrate under great pressure and
heat. So whalers began to take the
sea again. They are not so primitive
as those Of the older generation, but
their cargocs are more than ever in
demand.

JUST EAT, SLEEP AND WORK

That is all that some people do.
They are deprived Of all the higher
things in life, all the pleasures and JOYS
of existence because i'll health has rob
bed them Of their efficiency and ordi-
nary duties now take so much time
that there is no opportunity for relax
alton and social pleasures.
Are you like that? If you are, look
into your own ease and see if worry is
not responsible for much of your
trouble. See if you do not fret over
little things and scold when you could
just as we'll be pleasant.
The disorder which causes its victims
to worry whether they have anything
to worry about or not is neurasthenia.
1t is the great American disease.
The patient is usually pale, showing
that the blood is thin, and the first
thing to do is to build up the blood
because anything that builds UP the
general health helps TO correct the
neurasthenic condition.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are an ideal
tonic for this condition because they
are non-acoholic and neurasthenic
patients should avoid alcoholic stimuli
iants. Write today TO the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for
booklets on the nerves and diet. Your
own druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.

CLUB HOUSES IN FRANCE
Will Be Built by the Loyal Order Of
Moose,

At the annual convention OF the
Loyal Order of Moose, held in Pitts
burg in July of this year, there was
appropriated 100000 for a War
, Emergency Fund, to be used Tor re-
lief purposes behind the lines in
France, for members of the order who
would see service there.
The commission which will direct
the expanding of this fund, following
engagements arranged with Govern.
ment officials in Washington, consists
of Director General of the Loyal Or
der OF Moose James j. Davis OF Pitts
burg, chairman: Hon. John j. Lentz
of Columbus, o, president Of the
American Insurance Union and for
merly Congressman from Ohio;
Ralph w. Il. Donges Of Camden, N.
j., president of the Public Utilities
Commission of New Jersey, and En-
nest NJ. Oswalt of Mooseheart H.,
manager of the printing and publish
ing interests of the Loyal Order Of
Moose, secretary of the commission.
The work of compiling the names
of members of the Loyal Order OF
Moose who are now in France, in
American forts, American Navy and
concentration camps, has been be-
gun. AS there are about 1000
members distributed in more than
1900 subordinate lodges throughout
the United States, it will take consid-
cradle time to establish the number
of members actually at the front
or in training, and their addresses in
the services.
AS soon as such information is com
piled and proper arrangements made
with Government officials, the com
missioners will sail. Their first eff
forts will be to establish clubhouses
behind the lines, to which Moose may
come in their periods of rest. The
work of the order will be carried on
as nearly in q normal way as possible
Ritualistic Implications will be
held, that, in every way possible the
members will be kept in touch with
the progress of the order in the
States.
In addition to this, regular motion
picture shows produced by American
talent will be operated for Moose sol
diers and their comrades. All Amer
lean published magazines and miscel
ianeous newspapers published in the
cities represented by the Moose mem
bership will be on file in these var
ious clubhouses.
1t will also be the duty of the Com
to assist, where they can, in
comfortable quarters obtain
able for conyalescent wounded sol
diers who are members of the order
The ambulances provided for by this
War Emergency Fund will be guided
by this commission through the di-
rect control of the American Red
Cross.
