The field for exploration purposes. Were
we to chose the plans providing for 80
feet above sea level, a number of dams
would be necessary. After considerable
nvestigation, we found hat solid rock
necessary for proper foundation would
not be found less than $50 feet below
the surface of the earth. With the sea
level canal, one dam at the Pacific end
Of the canal is all that is necessary.
While the cost of the latter form of
construction is higher, the results
would be better, and the canal could
at any time be changed.
LAS yet, it has not been definitely
decided which form of canal will be
accepted, as the canal commission has
not received the report of my inEesti-
cations.
Nothing serious is expected from
the labor problem, as has been report
ed. About 1900 laborers, half of
which are skilled workmen, are at
work at present. While the efficiency
Of their work is not as great as can be
secured, still it is adapted to the eli
matte and sanitary conditions"

CAN DRINK
That's One Way to Get It.

Although they won't admit it many
and other ais get them straight from
the coffee they drink and it is easily
proved if they're not afraid to leave it
to a test as in the case of a lady in
Connellsville.
Il had been a sufferer from sick
headaches for twenty-five years and
anyone who has ever had a bad sick
headache knows what l suffered.
Sometimes three days in the week 1
would have to remain in bed, at other
times l couldn't lie down the pain
would be SO great. My life was a tor
ture and if l went away from home
for a day I always came back more
dead than alive.
"One day / was telling a woman my
troubles and she told me she knew
that it was probably coffee caused it.
She said she had been cured by stop
ping coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee and urged me to try this food
drink.
That's how l came to send out and
get some Postum and from that time
I've never been without it for it suits
my taste and has entirely cured all
of my old troubles. All l did was to
leave off the coffee and tea and drink
well made Postum in its place. This
change has done me more good than
everything else put together.
Our house was like a drug store for
my husband bought everything he
heard of to help me without doing
any good but when / began ON the
Postum my headaches ceased and the
other troubles quickly disappeared. l
have a friend who had an experience
just like mine and Postum cured her
just as it did me.
Postum not only cured the head
aches but my general health has been
improved and / am much stronger
than before. / now enjoy delicious
Postum more than / ever did coffee

IN GREAT DISTRESS
VOMITING SPELLS LONG RESISTED
EVERY EFFORT TO CHECK.
Mrs. Brooks Became So Weak She(Thinks
She Would Have Died But FSr
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

She Would Have Died But FIR
DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Sarah l.. Brooks, of No. 41Lin-
coin Park, Chicago, Illinois, givesS the
following account of ner cur fromdis-
tressing spells Of vomiting:
"For five years off and ON / was
treated i'll vain by different doctors fol-
relief from a stomach trouble whiclA
showed itself in frequent and tryingI
spells OF vomiting. Part Of the time II
was able to work and again l would be-
confined to bed for three or four days IL
succession.
"My stomach was at times so delicate
that it would not retain eve plain water.
The spells would sometimes occur at in
tervals of half an hour, and would leave
me SO weak that l would be compelled
to lie down between them. / would
have several of them during the night
following a day Of such attacks. Finally
l became so weakened that l had togive
up working altogether. l weighed only
ninety-four pounds.
"Last January l read about DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People in II
of the Chicago daily papers and bought
a box and began to use them. After /
had used half a box l found that 1 could
keep on my stomach the food l az. !
was encouraged by this and kept on
using the pills for four months. At the
end of that time the vomiting spells had
ceased altogether and my weight went
up to 142 pounds and is still growing.
81 think l surely would have died if
it had not been for DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for / sometimes vomited clear
blood and for three or four days at q
time 1 could rot eat "a bite of anything.
One doctor said l had chronic inflamma-
zion of the stomach, and another said
my difficulty was a cancer, but none OF
their medicines did me any good at all.
Finally ] concluded that l did not have
blood enough to digest my food and !
began the treatment that has cured me.
/ can eat anything now, and have
strength for all kinds of work. l always
keep DR.. Williams Pink Pills OH hand,
and ] recommend them to my friends
because / know they cured me-"
DR.. WILLIAMSBURG Pills agree with the
most delicate stomachs and strengthen
the digestive organs until they do their
work perfectly. They are sold by all

The London Globe says: The
French ministry of finance has just
published the statistics Oh the wills
proved in France in 1903. and from
this it is evident that the number OF
very rich people in the country has
been grossly exaggerated. Last year
only 497 wills leaving more than
ZOO, 900 francs, or 100000, were
proved. and of these only IA exceed
ed 1000. 900 francs, or 100000. There
were only eight fortunes of over TO-,
600, 900 francs, or e400, 900, and the
highest of all was of the exceptional
value of go, 900, 600. 1t is evident,
then, that the real milliOnaireS in
France are very few, but it should
be noted that rich men in France
marry rich wives, so that a family
may be much more wealthy than the
will of either father or mother would
imply. But the fact remains that the
Frenchman is too wise to be given over
to the hunger for gold, and that the
whole joy of living for him is o cen
tered in piling up dollars, as it seems
to be across the Atlantic. He is salts
fed with thousands of francs, and
with the appearance rather than the
actually of wealth. He likes to re
tire and live at his ease, and therein
he follows the dictates of the old
world philosophy.

NEW BALLOT LAW.

THE last legislature made
changes in the official ballot and
in the manner OF voting it that
are now attracting some atten-
ton. These changes complicate
the method OF voting and render
it likely that any one who does
not thoroughly understand it
will make u mistake if he follows
the new method in the case OF a
scratched ticket.
This confusing change need
not be given any attention, how,
ever, rs the ballot can be mark
ed in the old way without dan
ger OF making a mistake.
There is a provision for voting
n straight ticket with one mark
that is by putting n cross mark
in q circle at the head of the tic.
ket under the emblem. When
that mark has been made nc
other should be placed on the
ballot. Ii the voter wishes tC
vote q scratched ticket heshoulG
mark in the circle to the right O

whom he wishes to support.
