NICARAGUAN CANAL.
Great Deal On for Its Completion
At an Early Date.
American and British Gold 10 Unite as a
Private Enterprise.

Chicago Nov. An afternoon news
paper publishes long article pulporting
to give facts regarding "A new deal, the
contamination Of which will mean the
complete construction of the Nicaragua
ship canal with American and British
millions purely as private enterprise,
aided materially by Chicago capital, as
represented In the newly invented canal
digging machinery in successful operation
on the Chicago drainage channel.
1t Is stated that attempts to obtain
financial assistance from the United
States government through Congress will
be abandoned If it should develop that
the charter granted the Nicaragua Mari
time Canal Co by Congress is likely to
prove embarrassing, 1t will be surrendered.
With the revised estimates OF the cost
Of constructing the canal, based on the
great saving, through the use Of improved
excavatng machinery owned by the
Chicago contractors and inventors, it is
said that the canal promoters went to Lon
don and laid tempting plans before the
money kings there. For months these
flnancicrs have been investigating the
proposition, and great deal is on the verge
of contamination. The new figures call
for an expenditure OF between $40, 900, 900
and $55, 600, 900
1t Is asserted that engineers and other
experts In the employ Of the Nicaragua
Ship Canal Construction Co which has
invested 50, 000 900 in the isthmus canal
to date, camped for months on the line of
the Chicago canal from here to Joliet, OBJ
serving the wonderful mechanical i'm
provemcnts in ditch digging on huge
scale
When they returned to Now York, 1t is
said, the experts gave such m encouraging
report of their examination that the prime
movers in the canal enterprise, notably
Warner Miller, president Of the Construc
tlon Co, were induced to undertake at
once negotiations for the London deal
The officers of the company expect that
there will be vigorous opposition on this
side Of the Atlantic in the executive and
legislative branches of the government,
when the fact becomes known that British
capital Is to be invested in the canal, but
they do not apprchend serious compiled
lions from this source, and they claim that
rs q purely private enterprise they have
perfect right to get capital in any market
free from Interference or dictation from
any government.
President Wenter of the drainage board,
and Contractors Qualey and Mason, admit
that Warner Miller was here, during the
past summer, on the mission above stated.

II suddenly, by some great miracle, the
multitude of human beings who are seri-
Ously i'll and those who actually suffer pain
could be relieved, the good work would
only be begun
There would still remain the great army
of "the nervous"
For every downright sick person there
are hundred who go about their business
weary from pain and bodily weakness--and
the nervous, the feeble, the ailing are met
on every hand.
These earliest small beginnings must be
attended to-
The help which that most scientific and
practical OF all remedies, Paine's Celery
Compound, is able to give, comes, in no
all measure, from the fact that by it's use
men and women who are merely "run
down." weak and nervous, build up their
bodies, give tone to their digestive organs
and feed their exhausted nervous system
before their weak ets has progressed into
chronic disease.
Nature tends to keep healthy. Give her
q chance, and she will throw off disease as
som sthing unnatural and disturbing. This
great nerve and blood food, with which the
name of its discoverer, Professor Edward e.
Phelps, M. D., LID, of Dartmouth college,
will always be associated, this most remark
able remedy OF the close of the nineteenth
century, has saved countless numbers of
men and women from lifelong, and often
from fatal, diseases.
No such preventive remedy has ever be-
fore existed.
The long labors of Professor Phelps in the
famous Dartmouth laboratory proved to the
satisfaction of the medical world that the
true cure for nervous weakness, rheumatism
and heart disease was in supplying, as
rapidly as possible, material that the weak
ened parts could appropriate and build into
new, healthful tissues
On the basis of this clear reasoning, Pro-
lessor Phelps prepared Paine's celery com.

pound. Its remarkable control over diseases
OF the liver, kidneys and stomach has left
no doubt of the correctness of this great
scientists belief
Because there is often no crisis of pain, or
any absolute disability, many are apt to
neglect growing tbinness, beginnings of
nervous weakness, and the lack of strength
and high spirits that should accompany
sound health. Physicians, from their daily
observations of such cases, all know that
there is grave danger in these signs Of low
cred vitality.
By the advice of their family physicians,
| thousands OF overworked and we'll nigh dis
couraged men and women, in all parts of
this country, are finding the inestimable
value Of Paines celery compound for re-
cruiting the strength, for restoring healthy
color and condition to the skin, for freeing
themselves of the tell.tale humors, and for
lifting them out of their dependency into
the sunshine of bounding health and spirits,
by taking Paine's celery compound for two
or three solid weeks.
Even after this short time, it is easy to
note the difference in increased weight, in
added color, and in the feeling of vigor and
in the new Zest in living. Read what is
said by Mrs. A. M. Kane OF South War eham
Mass, whose picture begins these columns:
II have suffered terribly from kidney
troubles and nervousness for long time. I
could not sleep nights, had no appetite, and
L felt so weak and tired all the time it
seemed as though life was not worth living.

I do not have that weak, all. gone feeling in

the compound has also given me good
health and sound, refreshing sleep. 1 have
