TAK1N<; CARE OF WOMEN
OF THK KAKltAKY <X)ASf
When the San Francisco reformer*
who closed up the Barbary Coast,
started on their campaign of purifi
cation u few weeks aso, they thought
of au unusual thiug—and they plan

women who had been making their
living iu the local tenderloin, and
who would be "thrown out of work
when the teuderloin closed.
Accordingly ;i tew maiviuuuis wn«

the movement which finally forced
th- police commissioners to "put
the lid on the coast* made the
rounds of members of women's clubs,
church societies and other organiza
tions to whose .demand the polite
commissioners had bowed, asking po
sitions for such of the denizens of
the district who might want honest
work at fair wages.
Then the women were visited lid
asked wiiat they were willing to do.
Of the 3u3 women whose answers
were made public by the investiga
tors, twenty nine elected to con
tinue in the old life either in San
Krancisco or elsewhere; thirty were
unde> ided what to do; twenty said
thoy intended to leave the city; one
announced she was going to enter
an old ladies home; eleven were
willing to do anything; twenty-six
said they would do 'most anything
that paid a living wage" sixteen de

ENGLISH WAKSHIP
LAUNCHED AT PORTSMOUTH
Portsmouth, Eng., Oct. 21—The
costliest, speediest, most power
ful super-Dreadnaught in the world,
the "Queen Elizabeth", was launch
ed at the royal dockyard here .Fri
day, the naming ceremony being
performed by Lady Moux, wife of
Admiral Sir Hodworth Moux, com
mander-in-chief of th« Portsmouth
naval station. The "Queen Eliza
beth" and her four sister ships now
under construction, comprise the
very latest word in battleship build
ing. Each will cost when complet
ed $11,750,000, will huve a speed
of 25 knots an hour, and will he
provided with ten 15-inch gtfns cap
able of throwing a broadside fire
of 15,600 lbs. They will burn uo
coal whatever, relying upon fuel en
tirely from oil which will be storod
between the outer and Inner sklus.
Each will carry more than a mil
lion gallons of oil. The guns will
have an extreme range of 22 miles,
and experts say they will be able to
penetrate the thickest armor yet
made at a range 50 per cent great
er than that at which any naval
action is likely to be fought. The
enormous advance in warship con
struction as represented by these
vessels is indicated by the fact that
the original Dreaduaught, complet
ed only seven years ago, had a
broadside limit of only 6,800 lbs
The big increase in both offensive
and defensive armament was made

SECOND CONGRESS OF
CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION
Boston, Oct. 21—Nearly one hun
dred bishops and archbishops and
other high church dignitaries arriv
ed in Boston last week to attend
the greatest and most important
Catholic event held in America this
year. The event is the second con
gress of the Catholic Missionaries
Association. The first congress was
neld in Chicago in IPOS and the
seeoud was to have been held in
Boston last year. Owing to the fact
that the Eucharistic Congress was
held that year in Montreal, it
was oofi'oncl until this year. The
congress opened at the Cathedral
of the Holy Cross Saturday. All
the bishops and archbishops of
America were in attendance. All
the sessions will be secret except
ing the minor public ones to be held
at Lowell and other surrounding
cities. The opening mass was celebra
ted by Apostlic Delegate Bonzano,
of Washington. Cardinal O'Connell is
one of the chief figures at the con
gress. He preached the sermon
opening religious services. Follow
ing the service Cardinal O'Connell
tendered a luncheon to the distin
guished guests.
In all the churches of the city
Sunday there were special vesper
services, benedictions and sermons.

Alaska, Like Every Section in tlie 1

People with kidney ills want to
be cured. When one suffers the
tortures of an aching back, relief
is eagerly sought for. There are
many remedies today that relieve,
but not permanently. Doan's Kid
ney Pills have brought lasting
results to thousands. Here is proof
of merit from this vicinity:
F. A. Sutton, tent and awning
dealer, Room C, Capitol Hotel Bldg.,
Salem, Oregon, says: "I had Kid
ney trouble and rheumatism for ten
years and sometimes I was laid up,
Doctors did not help me. Sharp pains
extended through my back and were
most severe in my kidneys and loins.
Often when working, I had to give
up. I lost weight and was in very
poor health. I had headaches, rest
ed but little at night and did not
know what to do.1 On a friend's ad
vice I tried Doan's Kidney Pills
and to my surprise, they brought a
great improvement in .'a few days. I
continued to get better steadily. I
got more sleep, my appetite improv
ed and the pains gradually, but
surely left me. After I had used
three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills,
I was In better health than I had
been for ten years and not a sign
of kidney complaint remained. The
cure had been permanent. I gladly
confirm the endorsement I gave
Doan's Kidrey Pills several years
ago." _ i
