In a testimonial from Sweetebarg a resident named Arie Berauit describes years of frontal catarrh and systemic spread causing ulcers throat issues and weight loss. He credits two months of Catarrhorone treatment with restoration and urges readers to try the remedy via dealers.
The Titanic inquiry echoes similar findings on iceberg warnings, lifeboat shortages, and wireless understaffing. It urges strict future standards while noting the Imperator’s launch with full lifeboats and broader safety steps by others. The Moose Jaw News adds the Made in Canada train idea and a physician’s quip about quitting smoking.
The piece surveys Winston Churchill as a potential Liberal leader and possible future British premier. It details his mixed reception in England, his Anglo American background, and long career from soldier to politician. It notes his Irish home rule stance and naval budget advocacy.
A essay-like piece compares memory card prompts for speeches with ship safety, praising pocket cards as aids for recalling long addresses. It discusses reverse memorization, and then shifts to maritime topics, highlighting submarine bells and receivers as crucial safety tools, citing Titanic and Carpathia incidents and quotes from ship captains.
The submarine bell warns ships of reefs and shoals with fifty two in the United States service and scattered use in other nations. The world’s reefs are only now being equipped with these signals as major naval and civilian seaports adopt the device.
The special train bearing the Made in Canada exhibit left Montreal May 16 and tours the west until July 1. Imperial Tobacco Company of Canada shows its brands and offers souvenirs to dealers visiting the train. Brands advertised include Black Watch Tobacco, Meerschaum Cut Plug, Old Chum Tobacco, Player's Navy Cut, Sweet Caporal Cigarettes, and Columbia Little Cigars.
The article describes how thumbs played a signaling role in bargains among Scottish classes with licking and joining thumbs as a final settlement.
