U.S. TAKES 150 SHIPS FOR WAR SINCE OCT. 15 2,500,000 Tons Placed in Gov ernment's Hands Without Demur by Owners Washington, Oct. 25. Four hun dred and fifty ships, more than 2,500,- 000 tons, have been taken into Gov ernment service since Bainbridge Colby, for the United States Shipping Board, issued his proclamation on October 15. This does not include the number of vessels on which negotia tions still are in progress, but merely those that are now at Government orders. The case and speed with which the requisitioning has gone for ward, Mr. Colby said yesterday, was a revelation. "It is a high tribute to the intense patriotism of the shipping men all o\ er the country," he declared. "They co-operated with us in splendid spirit. Details as to percentages to be paid by the Government, etc., have all been ironed out smoothly. It ap pears the shipowners have made no effort to avoid Government requisi tion. but have willingly provided all needful Information regarding their vessels." N'o general effort is to be made to requisition vessels as small as 1,500 tons, although plans at tirst contem plated such action. Chairman Hurley, of the Shipping Board, yesterday afternoon announc ed that he had agreed with the War and Navy departments on rules to govern the operation of all vessels In Government service. The Navy De partment is to man and officer all ves sel# requisitioned for use as trans ports. in this way the Navy will be responsible in every detail for the success of moving troops. The War Department will have charge of vessels requisitioned for the moving of Army supplies, while ships are loading and unloading. These vessels >vill be manned and op erated, however, by the Shipping l-ioard. All other merchant ships in Government use will be manned and operated by the Shipping Board. Strange Alkali Conquers Indigestion and Dyspepsia Used by Specialists and in Hospitals for over 3 years. Now obtainable of druggists everywhere. EVERY PACKAGE ACCOMPANIED BY BINDING GUAR ANTEE OF SATISFACTION OR MONEY BACK Many hundreds of remarkable cases of relief from various forms of di gestive and stomach troubles have l.ow been credited to Bi-nesia, yet only a few years ago this strange alkali was rarely, if ever, heard of outside medical circles. It was because of its ability to neutralize stomach acids that Bi nesia lirst attracted close attention, for it had already been proved that practically all forms of digestive and stomach trouble— I N DIGESTION—DYSPEPSIA IIEAItTHIHN —I'I.ATII.EM'E (1 \ STRIC CATAUHH—GASTRITIS 1 N FLA >1 MATIO.V —ACIDITY, WIND. <* c. ' T -were traceable to an excessively in id condition of the stomach. Bi-nesia, specialists declared, would neutralize this harmful acid, and by so doing would eliminate the underlying cause of a host of ail ments for which a remedy had been sought Mn vain for years. And, to-dav. there is overwhelming evidence that these prophecies have been more than fulfilled. • Noxious medicines and harmful ; drugs are not employed so freely as : formerly, and the poor sufferer from digestive or stomach trouble is no longer required to make his or her life miserable by following a diet made up of small quantities of plain, unappetizing foods. The advice given to-day is: Kat normally and regularly of the foods you fancy, but correct the acid-forming tendency of these foods by taking a little pure Bi-nesia after every meal. That this modern advise is good Is proved by the following extracts from letters recently received from readers who once suffered from di gestive or stomach trouble: Chronic Indigestion for 34 Yfiw. 27 Trinity Place, Reading. Dear Sirs, Mv husband will be 50 next birthday, and he has suffered from Chronic Indigestion since he was 1. He has tried everything, and has been an out-patient at several hospitals. He could eat no solid food, and night after night he would groan with pain. But Bi-nesia has changed all that, and he is now able to enjoy a hearty meal of whatever he may fancy. (Signed) MRS. RANDALL. (iwntrli- Catarrh PlwuppearH. "A splendid ineillclne for the Stomach." Moss Moldert, Acharole. Dear Sirs, I have been troubled with my stomach for two or three years, and my doctor has treated me for Gastric Catarrh, but the trouble always returned, and I was be coming despondent when I heard of your 81-nesia, and determined to give it a trial. I am glad to say I experienced benefit almost immediately, and am now keep ing quite well. I consider Bi nesia a splendid medicine for the stomach, and shall always recom mend it. (Signed) W. HARRISON. Did space permit much similar evi dence might be quoted, but these two letters are quite sufficient to prove that even longstanding and severe casfs of digestion and stomach trouble yield* quickly to treatment with Bi-nesia. Perhaps past disappointments have made you despair of ever finding a radical cure for your digestive or stomach trouble. Medicines have failed you: little or no benefit has resulted from the use of drugs, while dieting has made you weak and de pressed. That immediate benefit will follow the use of Bi-nesia seems to you almost too good to be true. But will you try it and see? 81-nesia is unlike anything you have ever tried before. It is NOT A SECRET REMEDY, and it does not contain a single in. gredlent which can possible upset the most delicate constitution.

Bacon) 1917—25 May I must have been insane when T wrote the foregoing entry. I had no recoleletion at all of having written it and this is the first time since that day that I have opened my diary. No wonder, though, that I was so immoderate and incoherent in my expression. 1 had just sunk She steamship Ada, en route from Gothenburg to Hull, killing ten of her crew, and was thereby indirectly responsible also for the death of poor Sven. Sven and Captain I-.arsen were of ficers aboard the Ada. After the sinking, when their lifeboat came alongside of us. Sven, driven in sane by the murders which I had been instrumental in bringing about, sprang at me and was about to eiutch me by the throat, when Hal beit, who had become greatly at tached to me, struck him on the head with the butt of a pistol. Sven dropped and toppled off Into the sea. 1 leaped after him, but he must have sunk to a great depth and beep drowned, without having re covered consciousness. We searched long, but found no trace of the poor fellow. flis unfortunate father, deprived of wife, daughter and son. In one way or another, through me, made no reproaches. His heart was too heavy. He retained his seat in the lifeboat, just shaking his head list lessly. as if he but partly understood the import of the final'misfortune which had befallen him. For a long tim? I looked after the receding boat, and to the last, when even through the Masses I could scarcely disting uish him any more, I could see his head still bobbing to and fro. If it were not for Fritz I surely would have become insane long ago. At times I must have tried his pa tience and forbearance almost to the point of breaking. For I have occasionally turned abruptly from him and walked away while he >vas formula is printed on the label and as you can see, it is just a pure ant- | acid and food corrective, which can j be taken at all times by men and wo men of all ages, and nothing but | benefit ever follows its use. WILL YOU DO THIS f Give up your drugs and medicines ! for a time. Cease nibbling at patent j foods and performing weird exercises. I Vou have tried these things and they have failed you. so will you follow | the plan adopted by hospitals and | recommended by many eminent spe cialists, At regular hours eat nor- I mally of the foods you fancy, and I Immediately after the meal take a j teaspoonful of Bi-nesia in a little warm water, or if you prefer, take I two of the compressed tablets In the j same manner. Do this for a while and you will never resume your dieting or drug- j taking, for your trouble will disap- j pear. Hi-nesia will neutralize the harmful acid which is the underlying cause of your trouble. In addition it will prevent the accumulation of wind or gas in your stomach, stop your food feimenting, and then soothe, strengthen and heal your inflamed stomach and weakened digestive or gans. A WORD OF WARNING But if you desire to accomplish these good results you must, of course get the real Bi-nesia for this is the torm prepared specially for stomach use, and is totally different to the ordinary antacid mixtures, bearing similar names. Genuine Bi-nesia is now obtainable of most high-class drug stores every where, at prices which place it with in the easy reach of all, viz., 50 cents each for both powder and tablet form. Tests have shown that each large bottle of the powder form contains sufficient for at least 3 weeks' con tinuous treatment, and therefore the treatment really costs less than 3 cents a day. GOOD RESULTS GUARANTEED. Another point worthy of note is that to support their claim that Bi nesia will cure over ninety per cent, of all the cases of digestive and stom ach trouble in which it is used the manufacturers enclose in every pack age a binding guarantee of SATISFACTION OH MONEY RACK. Therefore you can try Bi-nesia without risk of loss or disappoint ment, for if it fails for any reason to do you good, your money will be refunded in full, and the trial will cost you nothing. THE FORMULA. 81-nesia is a harmless but won derfully effective remedy which you can make at home or any druggist can prepare for you by mixing 1% ounces bisoma carbonate with 1 ounce magnesia carbonate. If, how ever, you wish the guarantee of sat isfaction or money back, be sure to ask for an original package of Bi nesia, • 81-NESIA SH lliiiiiji I form; % POWDER - FORM M 50t Per Bottle | p SQ Per Bottle ' in t'.•■> at ™st—and such a long rest forever!" "How do you know?" asked Fritz. "Do you not recall what Hamlet says: " 'For in that sleep of death what dreams may come. When we have shuffled off this mor tal coll. Must give us pause.' "Do not fool yourself, Hans; death is not the end of us. The atguments commonly put forth agviinst suicide are wretchedly stupid and puerile. For what that is life weary cares, for instance, whether or not the act which takes him out of this world is considered cowardly or not? But there is no answering Hamlet's doubting fears. Hove T not often enough made it clear to you that the Will is our imperishable element, and IJiat. ei-en though my head be severed from my body, thus destroying the intellect together with the brain, the Will—the one factor which consti tutes my true reality—still contin ues to exist? Then how can suicide solve the problem of getting rid of troubles? All that it can hope to accomplish is merely to change my form of existence from the con scious one on earth to—Heaven only knows!—what worse kind of one, amid conditions a million times more agonizing than those I'm bear ing now. To quote Hamlet again. " 'Who would fardels hear. To grunt and sweat beneath a weary life, But that the dread of something after death. That undiscovered country from whoj.e bourne No traveller returns, puzzles the will. And makes us rather bear those l'!s we have Than fly to others that we know I not of.' "No Hans, do not believe one can thus escape trouble. Suicide i the! worst kind of cheat. It promises what it has not in its power to yive. He who realizes this and 'leverthe liss takes the risk is either crazy or fool."

Sailors and Officers Will Operate Troop Ships Hereafter Washington, Oct. 25,—Bluejackets will man and naval officers will com mand army transports hereafter. Of ficials believe this will insure more efficient operation of the ships, par ticularly in the war zone, where the strain on a crew is greatest, and so lessen the risk of destruction by submarines. Decision to have the Navy operate the transports, announced to-day, is believed to have been hastened by the sinking of the transport Antilles, manned by civilians. It was pointed out that the highly trained and dis ciplined naval force is far more ef fective than a constantly changing civilian personnel. This is regarded ns particularly true ol' the fireroom force, upon which a ship's speed largely depends. The manning of the transports will make necessary a large increase in the naval personnel, and the general board is understood to have recom mended that Congress be asked in December,to authorize an additional 80,000 men, 30,000 for the permanent naval forces and 50,000 during the war. With the transports turned over to the Navy,.it was decided to have the shipping board operate all cargo vessels, including those carrying sup plies for the armed forces abroad. Thus was settled a question between the Navy and shipping board which began with the decision to build and commandeer merchant ships. In anticipation of to-day's agree ment, the Navy has been training men especially for the transport service, and a large force is under stood to be available now. Others will be trained as rapidly as possible, so that not only all existing trans ports can be manned, but also the new ones now building. These latter have been especially designed and will be much faster than the stand ard cargo vessels. They are so planned for a speed of at least eigh teen knots. Will Organize Lebanon ForY. M. C. A.
