The Vital Question
Most Names by Which Diseases Are
known Are Merely Technical Terms
to Distinguish Slight Differences.

Chronic maladies are due 10 two
conditions: First TO poor blood and
disordered circulation; second, to a
lack Of nervous force and unequal dis
tribution Of il. In other words, we
may look to the blood and nerves for
most of the lingering ills that weaken,
plague or wreck human kind. This
explains why Dr. Chase's Blood and
Nerve Food cures so many diseases
that bear distinctive names. It puts
the blood and nerves right, and
through them the whole system
comes right. This concentrated Food
is a blood builder, which so improves
the vital fluid that it thoroughly nour-
lshes every part of the body. 1t Is
also a powerful yitalizer, that gives
an abundant store of energy to the
nerve centers, which is distributed to
every part according to its needs

I COTTON LETTER.
Special by Ware, & Leland's Private
Wira.


New York, Dec. -2T.-Prices were
about. unchanged this morning, but
before long short selling started and
before the afternoon the low prices
Of the season were reached. March
sold at 7.10 and January broke below
z cents. Not since the advance in cot
ton started in 1899 has the price been
as low as it went today. There must
gbe pile of cotton for sale as well as
bear pressure of the most powerful
kind. This was due to the coming re-
port tomorrow and the feeling that a
large showing would be made. Some
looked for more than 11,500,000 bales
ginned up, to December. Is and this
would indicate a crop Of fully 12,5oo,-
coo bales to be ginned in the final re-
port. There was no support Of any
kind and the bear pressure had a de-
cided effect on prices. The average
trader was on the short. side. There
seems to be no staying power and as
bears now have the market in charge,
they will doubtless press their advan-
tage until something comes up to
turn the market. The market gets
weaker as it declines. On a further
sharp break We would risk the buying
side rather than sell short. :.

Panama Canal Routes.

There has recently commenced re-
newed discussion In regard TO the
Panama canal, as the actual work
upon it approaees commencement un--
der complete American control, and
the commission and engineers connect
ed with thu Job are confronted with
the difficulty Of deciding upon the
route, which appears to constitute q
greater swamp than those OF the
Chagers river.
There are, 1t seems, four contingen-
cies, ninety foot level with dams and
locks, q sixty foot level with dams and
locks, a thirty foot level with one dam
and a sea level canal with only one
tidal lock to overcome the difference IN
high tide between the Atlantic and
Pacific Ocean. OF course in the de-
scriptions of these, there are Infinite
minor details that mean nothing to
any but the technically trained. but
the expense of constructing and time
employed. roughly speaking, are about
as follows: For the ninety foot level
would cost about S200, COO, 600 and
take twenhty years to complete; the
sixty foot, 1928, 0O0, 900 and ten years
the thirty foot $500, 900, 600 and fifteen
years; the sea level as much as $500,
600, 900 and twenty years.
The final settlement OF the ques-
tion will be left. We trust, as matter
of course, to the highest expert au-
thority obtainable, and there is moth
Ing, therefore, that the watching
public would want to do-if it could:
Generally speaking. however, in all
relations of life the highest priced ar
ticles are the cheapest, the end.
to say nothing of sea level canal

nation most strogly. Moreover, if
captain Robson's bill is carried out
and the year 1925 is to see the United
Statees navy at its strongest-wheth-
or "supreme, or MOTT would seem
that good date for opening the canal
was that in which we were best pre-
pared to control it and insist upon its
neutrality being observed:
Still there is great difference be-
tween ten and twenty years. There
are many of US who might count with
confidence upon witnessing the con-
summation of anything requiring the
first mentioned lengh os time to con-
struct. when we would regard aught
that took twenty as belonging entire
" to posterity, and wholly unconnect-
ed with ourselves and interest.
It is a matter of such immense i'm
portance, however, to the nation in the
abstract and the south in the con-
crete, that-much as a the notion OF
a sea level canal appeals to our fancy
it is to be hoped that it will be

Demand for Holiday Goods Has Ex-

Merchandise Seasonably Quiet.

New New York Dec. 23.-R. G..
Dun & Co.'S, weekly review of trade
tomorrow will say:
Demand for holiday goods has ex-
ceeded expectations, but trade in
staple merchandise is seasonably
quiet. Business conditions are salts
factory, however. manufacturing plants
producing freely, except where in
sufficient water supply restricts ope-
rations, and a large volume OF option
trading was recorded for the week at
the leading commodity exchanges.
Dispatches from the leading cities are
encouraging.
Traffic returns continue favorable,
railway earnings for December thus
far exceeding last years by 7.6 per
cent. Conditions in the cotton goods
market are calculated to induce con-
servatism and trading is restricted
to immediate requirements. Prices
are fairly we'll maintained.

Since the constitutional convention
only three new counties have been
formed under the provisions made by
that body, as we recall. The smaller
comfy sentiment seemed at that time
to be quite strong. but if it was it has
since materially weakened. A num-
ber OF new county schemes have been
proposed, but generality have failed
because there has seldom been any
good reason for them. The movement,
as a rule, starts in some town ambi-
tions to be county seat and opposl-
tion in existing counties has been TOO
strong for dismemberment. With
very few exceptions our couuties now
are not too large, and to split them up
into smaller, results il little more than
making two sets of county officials to
be paid, when. one was entirely sufh-
cient.-Columbia Record.

SOME POINTS ABOUT BEAUTY.
Good looks Only Possible When Care
Is Taken OF iieaitii.

In France, says The Chicago Re-
cord Herald, they will tell you about
the wonderful schools of beauty in
America where, for the sum of 800
and the investment Of few weeks
time, the ugliest woman is made ador-
able. Here in our dear Amerca we
drink in fables concerning the won
derful beauty shops of Paris, where
youth, beauty and Titan locks are to
be had for the asking and the price,
and where enamled faces are the pro-
per caper.
The truth is no such marvellous,
miraculous revolutions from ugliness
to loveliness ever take place. Ones
thought dome covering can be dyed.
but that does not bring general
beauty. Wrinkles can be rubbed
away and the skin freshened, facial
blemishes can be removed to large
extent, and cutaneous irritations
cured, but when you start out to
make of yourself truly beautiful wo-
man you have the task of years before
you. It means that you must take
care of your health, which is the
foundation and structure Of good looks.
1t means that you must chase away
from the habit Of saying things
when you feel out of sorts. 1t means
that you must take the straps and
buckles of prejudice and petty opin-
ions off your heart and your brain,
and that you must be great and big
of soul, loving humanity, appreciat-
ing life, enjoying, studying, working,
achieving, dreaming and making each
day better. The word beauty covers
a multitude of goodnesses, fine quail
tiles, sympathies, affections and hon.
esty. 1t is not merely . matter of
bombarding complexion ills, wearing
a dip belt and growing pompadour
as big as a Hubbard squash. 1t is by
creating a definite goal Of perfection
toward which every good impulse will
help you. In the majority of cases a
complete chagne ia ones appearance
means an entire reform in habits,
bringing the daily regimen into con-
formi.y with hygienic laws. Clean
illness. fresh air, good, substantial
food and cheerfulness are the greatest
of all cosmetics.
Concerning the beauty Of the neck, :.
arms and shoulders there is muckfo
be said. This is a triumphd hour of
physical culture and there is no need
of an all-bony condition or the too-fat
product. The arms of Sandow, con-
sisting of great knots of muscles, are
not to: be desired, for thas style of
loveliness should be monopolied by the
steIner SEX We are not professional
athletes. !.
What woman should seek is strength
and fexibility, combined with 1.-the,
soft, efeminate loveliness. 8 beauti-
full arm is yoand, smooth, white and
plump-not fat OF thin. There
should be delicate wrist with an
adorable curve. Many pretty arms can
be made from scans material II the
beauty candidates j persistent and
does not over exercise or forget.
