PANAMA AND GOOD ROADS
WERE DISCUSSED IN THE SENATE
NewIands and Depew Held Forth Upon the Pana-
ma Question While Government Aid for Good
Roads Was Advocated by Latimer
of South Carolina

Washington, Jan. 14-The Senate to-
day listened to speeches by Mr.. New
lands and Mr.. Depew on the Panama
canal question, and to a speech by Mr..
Latimer, in advocacy of the adoption
of a plan for the improvement of the
wagon roads of the country.
Mr.. Newlands spoke in criticism of
the course of the President in Panama,
declaring that it was an act of war
and in contravention alike of the
treaty of 1876, of international law and
of the constitution of the United States.
Mr.. Depew, on the other hand. praised
the Presidents policy as patriotic and
justified it under precedent and law.
He reviewed the history of Panama
and detailed the facts connected with
the negotiation of the Hay-Herran
treaty, contending that Colombia had
over-reached herself in her rejection
of that agreement.
The consideration of the Postoffice
Department investigation resolutions
was postponed until next Monday
In accordance with his previous no.
tice, Mr. Latimer of South Carolina
discussed the subject of good roads.
He based his remarks upon his own
bill, providing a plan of cooperation
between the national government and
the various states for the Improvement
of the public roads. He said that
about one-third of our people, living
in the country districts, bear the en-
tire responsibility and cost of main
tanning the common roads. He con-
tended that this is an unjust discrimi-
nj fha
the burden.
Mr. Newlands, discussing the Pana-
ma question, said 1t was doubtful
whether the status which existed be-
fore could be restored. A new govern
ment had been created by the violent
acts of the United States government.

NERVOUS PEOPLE
SOMETHING YOU OUGHT TO
KNOW.

NO nerves and never irritable"
This IS what Knights Pharmacy Co.
say people report after taking Vinol.
1t is remarkable" said a member of
the firm to the editor of the News,
how many people buy sedatives and
all sorts of opiates to quiet and dead
en- the nerves, when they are weaken
ing their entire nervous system by
doing so.
Nerve troubles are easily cured"
he continued. 1T is simply case of
treating the general weakness, not
the nerves alone, and that is just what
Ninol does in the most direct and
simple manner possible. 1t cures nerve
troubles because it builds one up and
makes one strong all over. 1t invig-
crates the entire nervous system,
makes new blood and vitality.
"Vinol contains no drugs, and you
know what you are taking-simply
the medicinal curatives found in cod
liver oil dissolved in a delicious ia
BILE wine and a little organic iron
added. 1t is fast superseding old
forms of cod liver oil and emulsions
because it is so delicious to the taste
and has such marvellous vitalizing
power"
Such letters as the following prove.
what Vinol will do: Mrs. Elizabeth
Richards of 32 E. Montcalm ST., De-
trOt, Mich, writes: II was very
weak and suffered from nervous pros
tration. Tried all sort of medicines
without relief, 1 have now taken four
bottles of Vinol and it has brought
back my health and strength"
Miss Lizzie Leary of Burlington,
VT, says she was a nervous wreck,
and Ninol restored her to perfect
health.
Miss Edythe M Perry of st. Paul.
Mimi, says Vinol cured her of nerv-
BUSINESS and insomnia.
And so we might go on quoting
from hundreds of just such letters;
and it is for this reason that we say
to every nervous, run down and debil-
itated person, in Savannah, try Vinol.
and if it does not cure you, come
back and get your money. knights

1t would be difficult to undo what had

Such disavowal would mean compen-

ration of the thing taken. or damages
for it's taking, to be surrendered either
by mutual agreement through the form
of treaty of amity or by reference to
some tribunal of arbitration such as

Mr.. Spooner congratulated Mr.. New
lands upon what he denominated as an
espousal of the doctrine of internation-
al eminent domain in the last decla-
ration of his speech in the interest of
collective civilization. 1t was. he said,
a recognition of the right to cut a way
through the isthmus for the purpose of
wedding the two oceans. dependent
only upon the payment of damages.
Mr.. DeDew spoke in support of the
administration in its conduct on the
isthmus of Panama. After speaking
of the importance of the canal, Mr..
Depew said that the opponents of the
treaty are aiding the enemies of the
canal.
If" he continued. there has ever
been a concert of action among any
great railway corporations to defeat
this most beneficent work of commerce
and civilization, l am not aware of it;
but if such a combination does exist,
then it's allies and its most efficient
assistants are to be found among those
who, under any device or excuse are
endeavoring to defeat the treaty with
the republic of Panama"

TRAINING DOGS OF WAR.
Great Danes Taught by Germans to
Drag Bicycle Riders to the
Ground.

To let loose the dogs of war is
TO be a yeritable military maneu-
yer, for dogs are now being
trained by the German army to do
actual battle. The bicycle is re-
sponsible for this. Since its intro
ductiOn into the armies of Europe
German officers have been cOnsid-
ering the best methods of combat
ing il, and the result has been Il
decision to train dogs to drag BIZ
cycle riders from their wheels.
The Great Dane has been select
ed for the purpose, as his size and
strength make him a powerful
and effective antagonist. At Ber-
lin there are now a thousand OF
these great dogs in training.
Every day for the last three
months they have been taken tn
the parade ground and been given
a lesson in distinguishing the Ger
man and Austrian uniforms from
the French, italian and Russian,
for it is necessary that they
should discriminate between
friend and foe. Then they are
taught to rush upon a bicycle.

him.
When it is remembered that
nearly all of the armies of Europe
have adopted the bicycle the ne

their effectiveness can be appre-
ciated, and the German officers be.

the method.
The dogs are taken to the field
of operation where the cyclists
areurged to attack the riders, who
are padded against harm. After
this lesson is learned they are
turned loose upon soldiers wear

they attack a German or Austrian
they are whipped, but when they

ILLICIT STILL IN A CHURCH
Singular Discovery Made by Customs
Officers in the South

AS the result of anonymous in
fOrma ton, some customs officers
climbed into the spire of an an
Gent church at Quezac, in the
south Of France, and after care
full search found a still, which, al
though dating from the seven
teenth century, was yet in a per
feet state of preservation and ca
pable Of being worked. Natural
ly the requirements Of the law
withregard tOapparat us of this de
scriptiOn had not been complied
with in this case. but who was the
offender? The vicar i'm charge Of
the building? The sacristan who
visited it weekly?
InterrOgated, the former said
that he had only recently come
into the parish and had never set
foot i'll the spire. He was, there
fore, totally ignorant of the exist
ence of the discriminating vessr'.
The Sacristan, however, could no.
allege so valid an excuse, and. hi
explanation not being considered
satisfactory, he will be proceeded
against.

TIPS WANTED I'm VENICE.
american Woman Has Unique Expe-

That City.

One of the things that most as
!onishes you with regard to the
working class Italian is the per
feet frankness with which he
shows his desire for Il tip. No
false mOdesty Obscures il, says the
San Francisco ArgOnaut. You
may sometimes fear that you will
.Orget it, Let such fears forever
rest. He won't let YOU. He will
follow You, asking YOU if you have
yOurparasOl when he seesitin your
hand, or if you know the way out
enhehas just tOIdittO you. The
whole poor population of Venice
is absolutely naif in its exhibition
of desire for any small sum Of
money the passerby may throw it.
The children, one and all, make
demand for a soldinO as matter
of course. 1t is sort Of greeting
to every foreigner, casually, as a
phrase Of general usage.
Coming from the bath you fee
the girl who has charge of the
lighthouses. If you don't she has
a dozen ways of making herself
disagrceable the next time you
come. And do not allay your
troubled anticipatiOns by the
thought she may not recognize
you. One glimpse Of face fxes
it in her memory for months.
After that you fee the woman
who takes care Of your purse and
jewcly. If you fee her enough
she drags out from some inner re
cess a cheap mirror which distOrts
your countenance and allows You
to look into it and see how truly
hideous the human visage can be
made to appear. Before the bath
you have feed the old woman who
gives YOU your bathing suit. If
you neglect her the next time you
come she will give you a suit thar
doesn't fit you or is full of holes.
When you go out on the ter
rasSc for Il black coffee, which
COSTS ten cents, you fee the waiter.
When YOU get into your gondOla
YOU Zee the old man who draws il
close 10 the steps with hooked
stick and offers you his withered
old arm to lean on. When YOU get
out Of your gondOla at the hotel
Won fee another old man with

NERVOUSNESS IN ARGUING.
Irritating to Those in Opposition and
Weakening in Effective
ness of Defense.

TO argue with nervous anxiety
either in ourselves or in others. is
never helpful. Arguing with
nervous excitement Of any kind is
like rubbing sore. II only irri-
tates il. Ii does not take long To
argue excited or tired nerves into
inflammation. but il is a long ami
difficult process 10 allay the in
flammatiOn. says Leslie's Maya
zine. 1t is Il sad fact that many
people have been argued into long
nervous Illnesses by WOuld-bc
kind friends, whose only inten-
ton was to argue them out Of i'll
ness. Even the kindest and most
disintereSted friends are apt to
lose patience when they argue.
and that, 10 the tired brain which
they are trying 10 relieve, is q
greater irritant than they realize.
The radical cure for nervous fear
is to drop resistance to painful cir
or conditions. Resist
ance is unwillingness to endure.
and to drop the resistance is to be
strongly willing. This vigorous
Willingness" is so absolutely GER
tain in its happy effect, and it is
so impossible that it should fail,
that the resistance impulses seem
to oppose themselves to it with
extreme energy. 1t is as if the re-
sistances were conscious imps,
and as if their certainty of defeat
in the case Of their victims en-
tire "willingness"-rOuses them
to do their worst, and to hold on to
their only possible means of
power with all the more determin-
alton. But every sharp attack, if
met with quiet willingness"
brings a defeat for the assailants,
until finally the resistant imps are
conquered and disappear.
