REPUBLIC'S LOSS LESSON
Ilurkc's Measure Strongly Advocat

Agaiiit Monopoly.
WASH1XGTOX, Feb. To prevr-nt the
loss of life by catastrophes at sfa mich
as so nearly occurred when the linor
Republic went down recently, the ITesi
(lnt wi:t to Congress today a message
uruiiiR thrt passage of a Mil similar to
that Introduced by Representative Burke,
of Pennsylvania, requirinc; the equipment
of ocean-goicj? veistla with wireless tele
srrapli apparatus.
Befora sodding the message the Presi
dent conferred with Mr. Burke on the
subject. The President had been advised
by the Commissioner of Navigation that
jn his opinion ui-h legislation was urgent
ly demanded and lie ureed in - strong
language the passage of this or a similar
bill. The message follows: ,
AVIreless as Life-Saving Device.
"To the Senate and House of Represen
tatives Your attention is invited to re
cent events which have conclusively dem
onstrated the great value of radio-telegraphy,
popularly known as 'wireless teleg
raphy,' as an instrumentality for the
preservation of life at sea.
"While the honor of the first practical
application of the scientific principles in
volved may belong to another country,
it is gratifying to know that our inven
tors have been quick to seize upon and
develop the idea and that several ,ys
terns of approved scientific merit and
practicability have been put Into opera
lion in the United States.
'Furthermore, through the liberality of
Congress and the Intelligence and in
dustry of the Navy Department, our
Atlantic, Gulf and Pacilic Coasts are
eouinped with a chain of shore, stations.
designed primarily tor the National de
fense, but capable of receiving and trans
mitting messages by any of the systems
of wireless telegraphy now In general
use. Kven our distant insular territories
and Alaska are so equipped. So far as
our own country is concerned, steps have
thus been taken effectually to prevent
the establishment of a monopoly in the
practical use of the new applied art.
Require "Wireless on Steamers.
I deem It highly desirable that the
Congress before adjournment snoum en
act a law requiring that with certain
limitations, such as determined by what
the Government of the United States has
already done and by what prudent and
progressive shipowners have already
found practicable, that all ocean-going
steamships, carrying a considerable num
ber of passengers on routes where wire
less installations would be useful, should
be required to carry sufficient radio-tele
graph installations and competent opera
tors. "The subject is now under considera
tion by the Congress and I am advised
legislation to effect the same general
purpose is under consideration abroad.
Our Interest in its enactment is keen
on account of the great number of steer
age as well as cabin passengers w ho an
nually arrive at and depart from our
ports. What we have already done along
practical business lines warrants '. the
United States in being first among na
tions to enact a statute requiring the use
of this safeguard of human life."

MAXIM Gl'X-SILENCEU UNIQUE
INVENTION".
Army Kifles Fired With Device and
Heport Is No Louder Than
Hand-Clap.
NEW YORK, Feb. 8. The first public
demonstration of the new Maxim gun
silencer was given here today by its
inventor, Hiram Percy Maxim.
The device is a little cylindrical affair,
barely six inches long and about an Inch
in diameter which fits snugly in the
muzzle of any' gun. United States Army
rifles and other powerful guns were fired
with the anti-noise attachment and the
resultant report was scarcely louder than
a mild handclap.
Mr. Maxim declared the device could
be applied to heavy artillery and just as
effectively pilenco cannon.
The inventor exploded the theory that
the new silencer could be useful to as
sassins and murderers. The sharp click
which the bullet made in cleaving the air
would give warning enough, he said. Its
advantage in ganio hunting would be
considerable, he declared, as the game
would be unable to locate the hunter.

great hole in her deckload of lumber
where .'the battering of the seas had

overboard, and her deck fittings badly
damaged, the steam schooner Aurelia
entered the harbor today with every
man aboard expreslng thanks that the
stout little vessel had weathered the
storm which overtook her off Cape
Blanco Saturday night on the wa- from
Grays Harbor.
The schooner was in great danger for
a time, her engine-room being Hooded
and Ufeboats torn from their lashings
by the giant seas which boarded her.
So heavily did she roll that it was feared
she would turn turtle, which ,would
have meant death to all on board, as no
boat could have lived in the sea that
was running. Sticking to their posts
courageously, the engineers kept the
vessel moving, however, ami,, lightened
by the loss of her deckload, the Aurelia
finally worked clear of the storm and
limped into port.

IT FOR DYSPEPTICS
Proper Diet, Plenty of Time for Eating
and Rest Will Ours Most Cases
Unless the Blood-Supply
Is Deficient.
Drugs play very little part in the
modern treatment of dyspepsia. From
a list of articles easily digested the
patient selects those that most appeal
to the appetite, avoids hasty eating and
rests after each meal by lying down for
a time if circumstances permit. Then,
unless the supply of blood to the stomach
is deficient, nature works the cure.
The cure of Mrs. Jennie Temple, of
No. 106 North Main street, Fond du
Lac. Wis., of stomach trouble by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills was due to their
power to build up and purify the blood.
She says:
"I take great pleasure in letting others
know of the great benefit I have received
from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was a
sufferer of stomach trouble, caused by
overwork, for about ' two years. My
appetite was very poor and I could not
eat much of anything. No matter what
I ate. my stomach became sour and gau
would form on it, causing shortness of
breath and affecting my heart. I had to
diet and eat only the lightest food. For
montlis I did not know what a good
night's rest meant. I had frequent dizzy
spells and would faint- at the least excite
ment. My head ached almost continu
ally and my heart action was slow and
irregular. I was weak and thin and in
every way was extremely wretched. At
one time I was confined to bed for three
weeks.
"I had begun to despair of getting
well as I had been treated by many doc
tors and srjent a great deal of money in
medicines and liad received little or no
ibelp. Finally my sister became alarmed
at my failure to get well and begged me
to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial.
Just to humor her I bought four boxes
of the pills. Before I had taken the pills
a month I felt much better, both men
tally and physically. My nerves became
Btrouger, my heart action was more
steady and the distressing symptoms
were lessened. My appetite increased
and I soon became well and strong.
Since using the pills I have regained
my weight. I 6till take a few doses
of the pills occasionally to' tone me
up. I can truthfully say that I think
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the very
best medicine any person, suffering as I
did, can take."

Pills or they will be sent by mail, post

FACTS ABOUT
THE CROUP
THE FIRST SYMPTOMS A1ID
TREATMENT.
Some Interesting Information for
Young Mothers How to
Guard Against the
Disease.
The great danger from croup is fully re-'
alized by most mothers of young children.
There are many, however, who do not know
that an attack of croup may be prevented by
proper treatment as soon as the first symp
toms appear. The first indication of an
attack of croup is hoarseness. The child
becomes quite hoarse; this is followed by a
rough cough thnt has something of a metal
lic sound and has been compared to the
crowing of a cock. Give Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy according to the printed
directions with each bottle as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, and it will prevent
the attack. Jt is, in fact, a certain cure for
croup, and has never been known to fail, but
it is better and safer to give the remedy be
fore the attack of croup is fully developed.
It then saves suffering for thechild and anx
iety for its parents. There is no danger in
giving this remedy freely, as it contains no
opium or other narcotic It is the standby
and sole reliance in many thousands of
homes and never disappoints those who de
pend upon it. There are women who took
this remedy in childhood, now giving it to
their grandchildren, and with the same uni
form success. It always cures and is pleas
ant to take.
