Too Much Pork. Not Enough Fat

Without doubt the fat in pork is
about as hard to digest'as anything can
be. A person has to have a strong di-
gestion and must be engaged in hard
work in order to take care of this food.
although it is true a large humber of
persons depend upon il especially
through the cold weather. The fact Is.
however, that as a rule fat is largely
deficient in our food: that is, a fat
which can be easily digested and
promptly assimilated by the system.
Cod liver oil, as we find it in SCOTS
Emulsion, is the most easily digested CT
all fats; it is just the food the body
must have to give it nerve power, brain
power and digestive power.

NICARAGUA CANAL.

~ reached the conclusion that there
are only two available canal routes

Nicaragua and the Panama routes.

final estimate OF the cost Of the canal
across Nicaragua. as the explorat ons
are not completed. nor will. they be un-
an fall.
The indications are. however, that
the exhaustive investigation which has
been made will show the advantages OF
the route selected by the Walker Com
mission OF two years ago over any
other. though II In likely there will be
slight notifications.
Both the Nicaragua and the Panama
routes are considered perfectly prac-
ticable. but the enterprise which the
/ Commission will recommend will con-
template n canal TO accommodate YES
sells OF 10000 tons displacement. The
attention Of the Commission has been
called TO the great displacement mer.
chant ships are now attaining and II
has been decided that the canal must
be OF a size that can accommodate,
without difficulty such mammoth yes
sells ms are likely to be constructed
Consideration OF these important mat
ters viii probably cause the Commits
sion TO recommend canal OF create
width and depth than hitherto ha
been regarded necessary. There vii
consequently be an increase In cost.

THE CASE OF PORTO RICO.

President MoKinley's recommendation
tat Porto REQ be given free access TO
our markets was based purely on the
Rround Of humanity, We had taken the
leland from spain, re pointe out. there
by dsprlving its inhnbitaatI of the mar
kets they had formerly enjoyed, and 1t
was no more than fair ana right that
they fh uld bs given our markets. The
question whether Forto Rico had an
indsfeasible right to our markets under
the con stitution, because 1t was o part OF
the United States he did not consider.
OBJ os,tion to the Presidents rseommen-
dalton Immediately appeared among the
extreme prctsct'onists CT his party. es-
pecislly among members of Congress
whose DISTRICTS produced articles that
Porto Ripo's products might compete
with, and their influence proved strong
enough to teie 1t the President S recon-
men dation In the wsys and means CON-
mittee, and substitute In Its stead bill
fixing a tariff tor the island In which the
duties axe placed at 60 per cent OF the
Dinsley law. IT is Ia o II oderate tarin.
and perhaps will not infllot any very severe
hard saip upon the Porto Ricsns, though
we hold that the re ommendation of this
President was in accordar CO with what
was right and just and what we owed to
the island, and ought to have been adopt
ed.
The rejection Of the Presidents recon-
mendation has precipitatcd the great con
stisut.onel question OF the status Of our
sc called colonies at time which 10 GER
