A Dangerous Pain
How often do you feel thai dull,
tired ache in your back and won'
der what causes it? Look out for
it. There is never a pain without
a caune, and the cause of this pain
is going to lay you up tome day
for months. It tells of a weak
ness, and you should cure it.
Your kidneys may be crying
for needed help; your spinal
nerves may be
exhausted and
want strength;
you may have
locomotor ataxia
in its first stage,
or lumbago, all
of which are se
rious and need to
be cured to pro
tect your health.
Do you think a
dose of medicine
taken into your
stomach will re
lieve the pain? It
may by stupefy
ing the nerves,
but that is not
real relief. Don't
you see that
there's only one way to cure that
trouble, and that is by giving
strength to your back if it is weak
or helping the circulation if there
is congestion?
Electricity will do that by giv
ing its strength to the back mus
cles and stimulating circulation.
No pain nor weakness can exist
where electricity is, for electricity
is the life of the body, and when
it goes in, pain goes out.
Electro-Vigor is a body battery
which you apply -while you sleep.
It saturates the nerves and m fa
ciei of the back with electric life,
adding new strength 'daily until
it is restored to its natural healthy
condition.
Electro-Vigor is not an electric
belt. It never needs charging, for
it manes its own power
constantly.. It Is tha only
successful ' electric . body
appliance, and haa cured
hundreds - after tha failure
of doctors and drugs. -
There Is nothing like
Electro-Vigor for strength
ening tho back. I feel bet
ter and stronger than I
bava for years.

FALLING ON STOVE
IRnolnt 'Tllimfltrh , to Tha Jnnrnatl
Astoria, Or., Dec. 24. The 2-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Jaloff was
soveroly burned on the face through
railing on a stov yesterday. Tha fam
ily were visiting neighbors at the time
and the accident occurred at Che neigh
bor's house. The condition of the little
girl is very serious and tho outcome
cannot b ascertained at present.
VAUDEVILLE THETEE
' fOnlted Prese tessed Wire.)
ong Beach, ' Csil.. Dec. 24. "Tarry
town-on-the-Plke," a new vaudeville
theatre, waa destroyed by fire caused
by spontaneous combustion early this
morning with losses aggregating about
$10,000. including tho stock of a tobacco
store located in the building. .There
was no insurance. x ;
in excluding
lng these sailors fairly
them from his institute?
In regard to tho Christmas dinner.
most of which I understood is being
donated, the seamen without a berth are
excluded and no one is allowed without
a ticket, which Mr. Roper says he is
going to distribute among the men on
board ships only. Is this fairf Does
a sailor on a ship, who will no douot
aet a arood dinner, need it as much as
one who has no berth?
It seems to me that keeping tho men
out of the society- rooms will drive
the men into saloons, and I hardly
tninK mat is wnat tne mends or tha
Seamen's Friend society want or expect
wnen tney .contribute to its support.
myself think It would be Mr. Roper's
duty in these 'hard times to give thi
seamen out of a berth, with no place o
sleeo but box 'cars, and no olace to
eat, a dinner in place, of those who con
get a good dinner on their ships.
