MOTOR CAR SERVICE
Arranged For the Mineral Point
and Northern RAILWAY.

Charles w. McIlhon, president, and
George q. Clinton, vice-presidont of
the Mineral Point and Northern, were
at Omaha this week inspecting motor
ears in operation there, with 4 view
of placing motor ears for passenger
service on the new line which connects
the city Of Mineral Point with Linden
and Highland. Judge Mcllhon arrived
home on Wednesday eteuing. He re-
ports that arrangements have been
completed for placing mo-
tor cars on the new road. Such ears
are extensively in use on short lines
in Ohio and some other states, and
wherever they have been tried have
proven not only profitable to the rail
way companies but most convenient
for the public. The Democrat Is glad
to be able To print the news that motor
ear service is to be given by the Min
eral Point and Northern line.

as handkerchiefs, corset-coyers, arti-

The narcissus and pansy sachets here

The narcissus petals, of white ribbon,
are cut nearly an inch and half long,

in very slight points, should start lit

square ends are then carefully turned

Corinth was to the Greeks!" This was
written by Bolivar in 1915, in what has
been called his prophetic letter." AS
early as 1928 a survey was made of the
Several others followed during the sue
ceeding years, and in 1S72-75 the Unit
ed States completed the most complete
survey of any which had been made.
The Colombian government granted in
1877 concession to Frenchman named
Wyse for constructing canal. This
was the concession which later was
bought by the Panama Canal company
formed by De Lesseps, and in The Hay
Herran treaty which the Colombian
congress refused to ratify the United
States proposed to purchase these con-
cessions for $40,000,000, and to pay to
Colombia $1o,000,0oo for the privilege of
constructing the canal, and securing po-
session of strip of land OF each side of
the proposed canal. That Colombia NOW
realizes her loss in the secession of Pan
ANA is evident from the desperate efforts
she is making to bring the province back
into the Colombian union.
The republic of Panama which has
been formed by the revolutionists is
about $50 miles in extent from east to
/ west and in width varies from 80 to 10
miles-an area Of about 31,500 square
miles. The population, as estimated by
the statistical bureau of the department
of commerce at Washington, is 1000.
1t is chiefly the seacoast that is inhabit-
ed, most of the interior being dense
jungle and is for the most part unex-
plored The city Of Panama is credited
with having a population of 25, 900, and
Colon, the other chief city of the new re-
public, is much smaller, having only
5000 people.
This is accounted for by the fact that
Colon was founded at the time of the
building of the railroad across the 18TH
mus in 1S50-55 while Panama was
founded in 1919 by Pedrarias over 300
years earlier Morgan's buccaneers
burned the place in 1911, and two years
later it was rebuilt. 1t is cathedral
city, and On Sunday the bells ring clam
orously. and the people quite largely go
to church, but the rest of the day is spent
in anything but Sabbathlike way, fol
cock and bull fights and other sports fill
the remaining hours of the day.
Colon is distinguished by the fact that
1T contains the palaces erected by Ferdi-
nand De Lesseps and his son, who ex-
pscted to see Colon become mighty city
when the canal had been completed.
About their palaces, which are now GO
ing to ruin, the city was laid out on
grand scale. An iron maSket house.
large enough for a town of half a million
inhabitants, was put up, and along the
wide streets lines of cocoanut trees were
planted. To-day, it is said that Colon
is as ragged as any town on the hemis-
phere.

ENEMY OF GIRLHooD.
ton OF Sweet Seventeen snd
DoctOra Call 1t Anemia

Health controls the complexion
throughout the whole course of exist
ence, but perhaps never more palpably
than about the age of IL.
Anemia is the greatest enemy OF a
beautiful complexion that girlhood can
encounter. 1t results in pallor, in
blemishes, such as spots and blackheads,
and in that general appearance of deli
cacy that should be complete stranger
to youth. Unfortunately just about the
age now under consideration girls are
so busy over their books and so eager
to excel in their school examinations
that instead of aiding and abetting their
elders to improve their anemic state,
and so to alter their muddy and unat-l
tractive compilations, they do all they
can TO further the inroads of weakness
by working indoors too much and stay
ing up too late at nights.
The anemic girl, whether she must
work at her books or not, must be
dosed with iron for months and months.
1t is the paucity of iron in her system
that makes her lack of color in her
cheeks. There are several well-known
preparations of iron that will suit the
sufferer, but it is always we'll, if possible.
to consult doctor as to the most eff
cacious one to be had in pills and in So
luton. Iron can be taken in pills
for the sake Of the teeth, and in solu-
ton for the sake of the digestion. But
while one girl can take three pills day,
and in course of time even eight, nine
or ten, another cannot take more than
two in "a hours. That is why Doctors
advice is so necessary.
The more open air the anemic girl
gets the more quickly she will overcome
her weakness. She must live on fresh
air just as much as on milk and fresh
meat, and every other kind of nourish-
ing food. Not only must she take ex-
ercise in the open air, but her Sleep
ing hours must be supplied with it.
and her sitting-rooms always have an
open window in them. Rich food is not
good for the anemic patient; indeed, the
simpler the existence the better.-Cin-
cinnati Commercial Tribune.
Why Eyeballs Are White.
The eyeball is white because its blood
vessels are so small that they do not
admit the Aed corpuscles.
