1t might be good plan for the
President to appoint a commits
sion to find out whether the rage
to ratify the Panama treaty is in
the interest of the transcontinen-
tai railroads who do not wish to
have any canal whatever con-
structed at the isthmus. The
theory is considerably more than
plausible. Thus; these railroads
are vociferous for the Panama
route, declare all others imprac-
ticable, and want the treaty rati-
fed at once, Immediately, right
away, toute de suite But they
would give the forty millions
that the canal company demands
not to have any canal whatever
built between the two oceans.
How do these facts jibe ? Sug-
gestive, isn't it ? Especially as
the American Engineer Haupi
affirms that it would take forty
years to dig through the noun
tains for the Panama canal.

pare each human life to drop
of water evaporating from the

something similar in the process

The tendency of medical science u.s.

best thought of the world is being
given TO the subject 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. 1t
has been fully demonstrated that
pneumonia. one of the most dangerous
diseases that medical men have 10
contend with. can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip),
and il has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency OF
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands OF cases in which this rem
edy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years. and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no dan
ger is apprehended until IL is sudden
w discovered that there is fever and
difficulty in breathing and pains in the
chest. then IL is announced that the
patient has pneumonia. BE on the
safe side and take Chamberlain's
