ay Act Will Improve Personnel.
"All the howl made by the Pacific
Mall agalnet the act driving the line
off the Pacific was purery for cam
paign purposes. The Panama canal
law, and that alone, made it necessary
for the elimination of Southern Pacific
control in the company. Now it is
reorganized with W. R. Grace & Co. In
control and they are to re-enter the
Pacific service.
"The seamen's act is not only mak
ing the sailor free, but, with better
wages offered, it will improve the
personnel of sailors, and will bring
Americans back to a seafaring life.
Although the language feature of the
act ie' not being enforced as yet, the
advantages for reasons of safety and
others of this provision are manifest.
"Under the act Americans, instead
of investing in foreign shipping, will
find It more profitable to put their
money under the American flag; and
for this reason, for the first time in
75 years, the American merchant ma
rine lsjcomlng to be a reality."
Mr. 'Furufceth, who is at the Port

Yucatan Turned Over.
San Francisco, Sept. 18. The steam
er Yucatan came in Saturday night
from the orient for the last time for
C. P. Doe. The cargo was consigned
to Swayne & Hoyt, but the vessel has
been sold to the Robert Dollar com
pany, and as soon as the cargo Is dis
charged, will be turned over to her
new owners. The vessel will probably
be used by the Dollar company out of
Vancouver to Vladivostok. The Yuca
tan foundered in Alaskan waters ome
years ago, but was refloated. She is
a sister sh'p of, the Rose City, owned
by the San Francisco & Portland

been whispered to rne:
"Like prehistoric monsters, you

and fierce machine gun fire in the
ruins of a sugar factory which the
Germans had made into a redoubt with
machine gun emplacements.
The British had a new engine of war

to know that this distressing affliction
can be successfully treated at home by

who could scarcely hear a watch tick
have had their hearing restored to
such an extent that the tick of a watch
was plainly audible seven or eight

Therefore, If you know someone who
is troubled with head noises or catarrh,

4 pint of hot water and 4 oz. of granu
