BOTTOMS LACKING, PLAINT Artier lean Tonnage Can't Handle Traffic, Representatives From Pacific Ports Declare? TVASHrN'GTON. Dec. 6. General opposition to the application to Pa cific coast ports of the preferential rail rate provision of the merchant marine act vas. expressed today at a hearing before the shipping board. The hearing was held by the board as a part of Its Investigation into the advisability or enforcing the prefer ential rate section of the act, which permits railroads to grant lower rates for export commodities, transported fur shipment In American vessels. Tonnage Lacking, IMalnt. Representatives of Pacific Coast ports told the board that at present there was insufficient American ton nage on the western coast to handle the traffic and should the preferen tiaJ rates be made effective foreign steamship lines would relieve their vessels from that service and busi ness in the port cities would be seri ously injured. J. w. McCune, representing the raffle and transportation bureau of Tacoma, declared that opposition on the part of the coast to the proposed rates was based on self-preservation. He contended that equalization of transcontinental rates and some of the preferential rates on the coast would mean that the foreign lines would take their ships to the Atlan tic ports and by making cheaper rates divert the traffic from the west. Seattle Voices Protest. Indefinite suspension of the prefer ential provisions was recommended l.y Seth Mann of the San Francisco t.'liamber of Commerce because of the inadequacy of American shipping on the coast, while W. L. Clark of the Pacific Steamship company of Seattle advised against the rates in general, f-xcepting where oriental ports dis criminated against American ship pi. ng. Chairman Benson read a telegram from the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce declaring its members fa vored all the provisions of the ma rine act, and Commissioner Teal read a. telegram from the Portland Cham ber of Commerce which recommend ed that congress be given an oppor tunity to consider the matter before drastic action was taken. "evr York in Opposition. J. S. McDaniel of the Cordage In stitute of New Tork opposed the rates, because, he said, facilities for carrying hemp in American bottoms were inadequate. Hemp shippers in the Philippines, he declared, only use American ships when foreign tonnage is not obtainable. Chairman Benson, at the conclusion of the hearing, said the board would take the question under considera tion, but added there was a large junount of American tonnage which ould be used to meet the needs of the ports. He later announced that the board would soon begin assign ing its new 12,000-ton combination passenger and cargo vessels to the trans-Pacific route. 1920. when he was transferred to!

"My health was completely shat tered,'' says Mrs. John Minrick, of No. 1329 Leahy street, Muskegon, Mich. "I had no life or ambition to do my housework. I was dreadfully nervous. The least noise would star tle me arid I would tremble and have weak spells. "My stomach bothered me so that I would be in distress and bloated after eating. I suffered a good deal of pain and was inclined to worry. I did not sleep well and had spells of melancholia. "Medicines I had taken had given relief only for the time being until one day I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I got a box. After taking them a week I felt much bet ter and was more cheerful. I kept on taking the pills and noticed that I slept better. I gained in strength and was less nervous. I no longer have indigestion and have not had a dizzy spell since I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I never worry, I sleep soundly and have had no more melancholy spells. I am glad to rec ommend Dr. Williams'. Pink Pills." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a tonic for the blood and nerves. They are a specific for just Stfch anemic condi tions as Mrs. Minrick describes.
