SHALL THE CANAL BE BU1Lrp


Under the caption ''Wanted-A States
man. the Chicago Inter Ocean dis
cusses the history and present status
of the Nicaragua canal proposition as
follows:
The Nicaragua canal project has been
before congress ever since 1869. Presi-
dent Grants first Nicaragua canal
commission was appointed on March 10,
lS92 It had on it men of tried intel
ngence and prObity. 1t represented the
best expert opinion that the country
could AFFORD After full investigation
and surveys Of the routes it reported
on Feb: z. 1876. in favor of the Mica
ragua line
Ever since that day obstruction tao
tics have been employed against every
canal measure introduced. All this
time public sentiment in favor of the
canal has been growing stronger and
stronger. In response to this public sem
timsnt. the Fifty-fifth congress made
the excuse that more information was
needed, and an tsthmian canal commits
aion was appointed ostensibly to make
new surveys. to gather fun information.
and to report to congress
The report of this commission was
submitted to the senate and house yes
teruay. 1t repeats almost word for
word the general recommendation of the
commission that reported in 1876. It
recommends. with slight notifications,
the route recommended twenty-four
years ago. 1t declares specifically that
the most practicable and feasible route
for an isthmian canal under the control,
management, and ownership of the
United States is that known as the Mic
aragua route"
This is what Grant declared in his
messages 1t IS what the ablest Ameri-
can engineers favored IN 1873 Congress
has Travelled in a circle and is just
where II started a generation ago.
However. no excuse now exists for
farther delay. The hope OF some that
this commission, after full investiga-
ton. would report in favor OF the Pan
anna canal, Is destroyed. Congress has
all the information that ii asked for.
Unless il ignores the report OF the com

MUSCLE AND NOT FAT.
What Thin People Need to Round
Off the Corners.

What thin folks need is flesh or
muscle, not fat.
To be symmetrical and properly pro-
poruoned every person Should have a
certain amount of excess flesh, but to
be plump does not necessarily mean to
be fat
Fat is undesirable; it clogs and re-
tardS the action of the muscles, inter-
feres with the healthy action of the
heart and lungs and when very excess
sive, predisposes to fatty degenera ton
Of vital organs, to say nothing of the
discomfort resulting from too much
adipose tissue.
Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become f1eshy and plump
the thing most needed would be flesh
forming food that is. albuminous foods
like eggs, beef, oatmeal, etc.
The kinds of food which make flesh
are the foods we have on our tables
every day; but the trouble is that our
stomachS, from weakness or derange-
ment of some kind do not promptly and
properly digest it,
Really, the principal reason so many
people remain thin is because their
Stomachs do not properly and complete

day.
There are thousands of such people,
and they are really dyspeptics although
they may not suffer any particular pain

these tablets are prepared exactly for

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure every
