LOCKJAW CAN BE CUREE.

The cure of a case of tetanUs, or
lackjaw, by au anti toxin is of very
great Importance to mankind. A
Brooklyn boy who had stepped on
the proverbial rusty nail was at
tackled by this hitherto incurable
malady. The surgeons injected into
the brain u serum which was inten-
ded to destroy the lockjaw germs,
and in a short time the distressing
symptoms disappeared. There is
every reason to hope for complete
recovery. Since we have robbed
diphtheria of most of it's terrOrs by
the use of an anti toxin, and since
it has been shown that lookjaw is
also amenable to that treatment, we
have the strongest reasons for be-
~lieving that eventually every serious
germ disease will come under SINH
lar Observation-Disclosures Record.

Strict economy, but not niggardlyness In

Interstate Commerce.
In regard to the Interstate Commerce
act of 1857, the President says it should
be amended He gives his reasons thus:
THE railway is a public servant. It's
rates should be just to and open to all
shippers alike. The Government should
see to it that within its jurisdiction this
is so and should provide a speedy. mex
pensive and effective remedy to that
end At the same time it must not be
forgotten that our railways are the ar

MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

No single great material work which
remains to be undertaken on this CONT
ncnt is of such consequence to the
American people as the building OF
canal across the 1sthmus connecting
North and South America. Its import
cnce to the Nation is by no means lir1-
tied merely to it's material effects upon
our business prosperity; and yet with
view to these effects alone it would be
to the last degree important for as mi
mediately to begin it. While its beHe-
fetal effects would perhaps be most marx
ed upon the Pacific coast and the Gun and
South Atlantic States. it would also great
ly benefit other sectors. 1t Is semphati-
cally a work which it is for the interest
Of the entire country to begin and COM
plete as soon as possible: it is one OF
those great works which only a great
nation can undertake with prospects OF
success. and which when done are not
only permanent assets in the nations
material interests. but standing nonu-
ments to its constructive ability.
II am glad to be able to announce to
you that our negotiations on this subject
with Great Britain. conducted on both
sides in a spirit of friendiness and mu-
tual good will ard respect, have result
ed in my being able to lay before the
Senate a treaty which II ratified will en-
able US to begin preparations Tor an 18TH
milan canal at any time, and which guar
antees to this Nation every right that it
has ever asked in connection with the
canal In this treaty the old Clayton
BuEwer treaty, so long recognized as in
adequate to supply the base for the
construction and maintenance OF a ne
cessarily American ship canal. is abro-
gated It specifically provides that the
United States alone shall do the work of
building and assume the responsibility
OF safeguarding the canal and shall regu-
late it's neutral use by all nations on
terms of equality without the guaranty
or interference of any outside nation
from any quarter The signed treaty
will at once be laid before the SENATE,
and If approved the Congress can then
| proceed to give effect to the advantages
it secures us by providing for the build
