Panama Canal Purchase Will
Require Bond Issue.

Special to New Orleans Times Democrat.
Washington, Jan. 24.-With the
prospects good for the early ac-
QUESTION by our government Of tho
propety and rights of the Panama
Canal Company, Secretary Shaw
and other treasury officials are
planning to raise the funds to pay
for Uncle Sans latest enterprise.
From now on until the big canal is
completed Secretary Shaw will
have to dig deep into the treasury
vaults to satisfy, first Of all, the
French company, and later on tho
numerous contractors who will AS
sumo the task of finishing up the
project.
Secretary Shaw has decided that
bond issue will be necessary to
raise the money required for the
building of the Panama canal.
This is the only point SO far set
tied, and the amount of bonds to
be sold is something to be deter
mined later on. Authority al
ready exists for the issuance of
canal bonds, the act which passed
in June last containing a proviso
for the selling of bonds to defray
expenses incurred by the taking
up of that project.
As soon as the treaty is ratified
by the two governments Secretary
Shaw will send an envoy to Paris
to hand over draft for $40, ,OOO..
600, and receive in turn a deed
conveying to theUnited States gov.
eminent . clear and unobstructed
title to the property and rights o.
the French Panama Canal Com
pany.
The canal act also provides that
100000 shall be appropriated
for the first years current ex
penses, making a total of $50, 1000,
600 that will be called for the frs
thing.

statement shows that the treasury
is in no condition to stand . do

when his whole career is consider
ed, the Crum incident is not un-
characteristic. He has always
been like the COW that gives good,
rich milk-and then kicks over the
pail. If, itching for notoriety and
sensation, he desires to experiment
with miscegination in United
States Offices, why did he not ap-
point a negro collector to some
New England port. and enjoy the
results of giving negro worshipers
some of their own medicine? Why
did he not app oint a negro collec
tor here in New York. where a lit
tie deeper blackness in Republi-
canism would not have affected
the solid Democratic majority? :?
Why did he select typical
Southern city, in which there is
not only the old race prejudics,
but the constant dread of attempt
ed negro domination? l can not
believe that Mr.. Roosevelt's object
was to capture the votes of the
negro delegates in the next Re-
publican convention, because a
moments consideration would
show him that a renomination
would be worthless if all tie
white voters were driven from
him. No; this is rare and sad
case of mid winter madness-our
ancestors would have called It
possession by the devil"--and We
can only mourn the loss Of OF
who promised to rank with or
most illustrious presidents.

point a bull to United Stat $

are more flies than people IN New

make a horsefiy collector of this
port. The apology is as stupid as
the offense.
The South must be patient under |
the Roosevelt prOvOcation. There
must be no wild talk about seces-
sion; no threats of negro prosecu-
ton; no boycotting of Northern
products. The good sense of the
American people will settle the
race question, as it has settled
others more difficult. The States |
have rights-even to their preju-

ness, and if any State objects to

sub-agents will be substituted.

it will prevail.

Talk Up Your Tow n.

II may be observed as a general
rule that in any prosperous town
In this or any other State, there
will be found unity of sentiment
in everything that concerns the
welfare of the place or promotes
its interests. There is also dis
position to speak well always of its
prospects and tendency to re-
sent unfavorable criticism. The
reverse is equally true. for it is as
easy to talk town down as it is TO
talk it up. To be continually pro-
claiming that town is dead, y
mo business" and similar talk is
like putting up posters to warn oil
capital, for nobody with common
sense would want to invest in a
dead town, and property owners
should hesitate. if only for selfish
motives, to give ntterance to such
sentiments.

EASY TO KEEP WELL
If YOU KNOW YOURSELF.

Keeping well is mechanical. Eat
ing. working, sleeping. temperate en-
ioyments and becoming animated over
some useful subject cover the field.
II Is better to pay doctor to tell
you how to keep well than to treat
you after you arc sick. But so few
do this the doctors hardly know what
to say when one tries the plan.
A suggestive fact Is that a woman
with continually poor health will take
sick house plant and bring II up into
hourishing state, and a man who
gever sees n well day will take sick
horse and cure him. This illustrates
the power of special knowledge APP
piled. But there are people with spe-
cial tendencies and inherited diseases,
who break all rules of treatment and
preventive science, though these ex-
ceptions are so few that no one need
place himself in the list till he has
tried modern course of systematic
exercise with proper diet and right
remedies.
Il took one doctor long time to
learn that bread with coffee or fruit
with bread did not agree with him.
He found that potato and fruit or
coffee went all right together. You
must know yourself and then do as
well as You know.
A Chicago doctor tells me that a
cold salt water bath before breakfast
is fayorito with him. He thinks
more of soups than meats. Recently
radishes and lettuce gave him such
severe Indigestion that 1t required
n milk diet for days to restore his
stomach. But for some people milk
is almost a poison. and for diet they
eat graham waters or dry toast.
Another doctor tells ME he can eat
anything but llver and does not pay
much attention to himself except to
cat and sleep regularly. He has nat
ural force. physical harmony. latent
energy, and lives healthily automat-
ically. 1t is just as important to have
little reserve strength as it is to
have emergency money.
Some people seem to draw money
and health toward themselves con-
tinuaily. while others appear to
frighten these blessings off, There
are tcw general rules. Some really
need medicine often, but many will
never be healthy as long as they con-
tluue dosing. It surely requires a
clear head to decide for each case
Alright. Some are built to walk many
miles day and some are always in
iured by common stroll. One man
told me that muscular exercise always
destroyed his appetite and that a
couple hours work In his study made
him as hungry as bear.
Many eat too much. A few do not
eat nearly enough. Light foods and
no cold drinks for summer. Keep
away from very hot air il you are
going into very cold air winters. Be
extra careful about clothing during
Lpring and fall. Plain food gives
rich blood. Do not experiment with
your appetite. II you know by expert
ence useful Information that would
add TO this or have a question you
would like answered send it on. Eat
for strength. Speak for truth. Live
TO spread good news.
