Weak, think peOple-men and women
are nearly always nervous wrecks;
thus eOnelusively proving that thin
ness, weakness, debility and neuras-
thenia are almost invariably due to
nerve starvation. Feed your nerves
and all these symptoms due to nerve
starvation will disappear.
Eminent specialists state that the
best nerve food is an organic phos-
phate known among druggists as
BitrO-P Phosphate, a five-grain tablet of
which should be taken with each meal.
Being a genuine nerve builder and not
a stimulant or habit forming drug,
Bitro-PhOsphate can be safely taken,
by the weakest and most delicate suf
ferer, and the results following its use
are often simply astonishing.

THINKS MANY BOATS MIGHT BE SAVED
 FROM SUBMARINES

LONDON. April 20.-J. w. Isher- wood, naval architect, told a Daily Express representative recently that "50 per cent of the merchant ships sunk by U-boats could have been saved had they been built with bulk heads in the proportion of about one for every forty feet of their length "It is quite an easy matter" he said, ''to build a ship which can not be sunk by one torpedo and, as a rule, that is sufficient to sink the ships of the mercantile marine today. l maintain that if the Glenart Castle had been fitted with ten instead of six water-tight compartments she would have remained .afloat The same applies to practically all ships that have gone down as a result of one torpedo"

During the nineteen years that he has been on the White Pass road. MT Shelley says the past winter has been the most severe in his experience. On many occasions from 12 to 16 hours were required to make the 110-mile run and frequently after hours Of bucking snow banks with the rotary snowplows, they were forced to turr back MT. Shelley brought his last train from Whitehorse to Skagway last Friday and he says that for sey eral miles north of the White Pass Summit the snow along the sides oi the track were higher than the coach es. The old conductor will be much missed by the company to which he has always been true and loyal and by the travelling public with whom he has always been popular.

WATER PRESSURE TOO GREAT ON
 STEAMER EVANS
Those in Charge of the Wreck Are in City and Tell About Plan to
 Raise Her.

Captain J. M Hcwison, of the Handy, in charge of the construction of the coffer dam about the wreck of the Admiral Evans, are in the city and expect to leave on the Prince of Wales this evening for the scene of the wreck Captain Hewison said today that the bottom of the Evans was in good shape and that no doubt about their ability to raise the boat is entertained We will have her up as soon as the rofferdam is complet- he said.
 The Evans is lying in such a posi- ton that the divers are unable to find all the holes to plug them. When the recent attempt was made to pump the ship dry, the three big ten-inch pumps were unable to gain on the pressure of water in the after part of the ship The forehold was pump ed entirely dry, but the water leaked into the after hold and engine room through unstopped holes faster than the pumps could handle it.
 The cofferdam will consist of a wood and canvas structure extend ing from the sides of the ship to above the water line. The structure will be made exceedingly strong to withstand the pressure of the water from the outside, and at the stern of the boat will be over 40 feet high, graduating down to nothing at the bow The two men are after material to carry on the work.

 WORKERS ARE BUSY ON DOUGLAS ISLAND

TREADWELL, April 23.-As the girls and boys of the United States are now recognized as a part of the National Army, and are busy doing their part in the great war now on. their organization, the Junior Red Cross, is deserving of much greater consideration than it is receiving. their work locally is attested by the following list of completed articles turned in the Junior Red Cross of Treadwell since the first of last Jan uary:
 complete layettes.
 20 sweaters, practically finished
 10 scarfs.

 3 baby jackets.
 20 wash cloths.

 In view of the fact that there arc no provisions for the Junior Red Cross taking from the initiation and dues money with which to provide working material, the organization is often hard put for the wherewith tc secure material and must depend wholly on contributions. For this reason and to enable the children t. make good in their undertakings means for raising funds must be re sorted to. The TreadWell Parent Teacher Association, therefore, has designated next Monday night, April 29, as the time and Labor Union Hall as the place for holding q card party for the benefit of the Treadwell Jun for Red Cross and the public gener ally is cordially invited to attend A number of valuable prizes have been donated for the occasion, one ol which is beautiful hand painting by the donor, Mrs. F.
