CAN DRINK TROUBLE.
That's One Way to Get It.

Although they won't admit it many
people who suffer, from sick headaches
and other ails 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
ConnellsviIle.
Il had been a sufferer from sick
headaches for twenty-five years and
anyone who has ever had d bad sick
headache knows what 1 suffered.
Sometimes three days in the week l
would have to remain in bed, at other
times 1 couldn't lie down the pain
would be SO great. My life was a tor
ture and if 1 went away from home
for a day 1 always came back more
dead than alive.
Zone day l was telling a woman my
troubles and she told me she knew
that it was probably coffee caused it.
She said she bad been cured by stop
ping coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee and urged me TO try this food
drink.
That's HOY 1 came to send out and
get some Postum and from that time
I've never been without it for it suits

of my old troubles. All 1 did was to
leave off the coffee and tea and drink
we'll made Postum in its place. This
change has done me more good than
everything else put together.

Mrs. Brooks Became So Weak She Thinks
She Would Have Died But For
DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. Sarah L. Brooks, of No. As Lin
coln Park, Chicago, illinois, gives the
following account of ner cure from dis
tressing spells of vomiting:
For five years off and on 1 was
treated in vain by different doctors for
relief from stomach trouble which
showed itself in frequent and trying
spells OF vomiting. Part of the time 1
was able to work and again would be
confined to bed for three or four days in
succession.
Ny stomach was at times so delicate
that it would not retain even plain water.
The spells would sometimes occur at in
tervals of half an hour, and would leave
,ue so weak that 1 would be compelled
to lie down between them. 1 would
have several of them during the night
following day of such attacks. Finally
1 became SO weakened that I had to give
up working altogether. 1 weighed only
njnety-four pounds.
"Last January read about DR.. Viii
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People i'll one
of the Chicago daily papers and bought
a box and began to use them. After

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.
think I surely would have died if
1t had not been for DR.. Williams Pink

time l could not eat bite of anything.
One doctor said l had chronic inf1amma-
zion of the stomach, and another said
my difficulty was n cancer, but none of
their medicines did me any good at all.
Finally concluded that did not have
blood enough to digest my food and
began the treatment that has cured me.

pealed," says Rev. DR.. F B. Meyer
Jesus has never withdrawn from the
compact, and if we could only dare to
find that He was cooperating in church,
and Sunday school, and mission sta
ton" However, there are certain con-
ditions which must prevail before the
Christian can realize this blessed union,
this coopcrst ton of the Lord, unto
whom has been given "all power in
Heaven and in earth" The Lord can
not work with some of His followers be-
cause they have not met His conditions
and mary Christians fail to realize the
blessed presence and power of Jesus
because they persist in doing in their
own strength and their own way His
work.
I EFT us consider more fully what is
l. involved in these five rules. First
of all is emphasized the necessity OF a
clean heart and life. The Lord never
yet used a vessel which was foul with
willful and persistent and hidden sin
The Christian may keep the outside
clean and polished. He may deceive
but he cannot deceive God, and If
within the heart and hidden in the life
there are sin and indulgence which he
is not willing to give up, then the Lord
cannot work with such a one. And
what is more sad and awful than for
the Christian to be doing work in the
Lords name while the Lord is absent
from him? He is building apart from
God. He, is putting up the wood, hay
and stubble which will be destroyed
by the searching fire of Gods testing
judgment The Psalmist asks: who
shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in His holy
placer" And God replies: He that
hath clean hands and a pure heart"
1t is such that the Lord works with to
accomplish His purposes among men.
Dear brother, is the Lord working with
you? If not, what is it that is robbing
you of this blessed copartnership ex-
perience? Search within the heart and
the life. Drag out the hidden and cher
ished thing. Give it up. If thy eye,
or thy hand or thy foot offend thee

the lack of that which you so much
love and desire than that you should
fall short of the glory of God and His
plans for you. Cry with the Psalmist:
Create within me a clean heart, o
God, and renew a right spirit within
me-" He will do it, and then you will
begin to know what it means to have
the Lord working with you.

- and then unity-Christian unity,
which made the early church such a
victorious and aggressive church. The
Lord cannot work where there is lack
of harmony, where there are jeal-
ousies, where divisions separate and
weaken. We need more and more of
that loving fellowship and unity which
prevails when the Spirit of Christ rules
in the hearts of His children. Thank
God there is coming to be a larger
spirit of fellowship and cooperation be-
tween the followers of Christ of all de-
nominations. The old divisions ard
jealousies are almost dead and gone
and in their stead we are finding a
constantly increasing purpose and de-
sire for harmony and unity in the great
and blessed work of winning the
world for Christ. And in the measure
that this is true, there are realized
the presence and help of the Lord And
last and above ALL faith is needed,
faith that will claim the Lords pres
ence and cooperation, and faith that
will reckon upon it. Faith draws the

Faith that Christ was working with

and is giving him glorious victories at
the present time in England and Scot

realize how much we may do when the
Lord works with us! And oh, that we
might realize that to have the Lord with
us we must be pure in heart and life;
we must seek His glory, and His alone;
We must depend upon Gods Word, the

we must cultivate that loving harmony

DUT not only must there be the clean
ID heart to enjoy the cooperation of
the Lord. We must seek iIiG glory and
not our own. Herein lies a constant
danger. The heart is so subtle that
even the most humble and consecrated
Christians are apt to be deceived Us to
the motives which dominate tho life.
1t is only as the Christian realizes the
danger of unconsciously seeking ones
own glory, instead of the glory Of God,
that he is able to detect the weakness
and guard against it. Self should be
obliterated and forgotten as far as pos
sible in the Masters service. This was
the first of four rules which governed the
life of that brave soldier and devoted
Christian, Gen. Gordon, better known
as Chinese" Gordon. And the other
three were a help to the realization of
this holy ambition to forget self and
glorify God. They were: Absence Of
all pretence; Indifference to the worlds
opinions, and absorption in the will of
God. All, how richly would the power
and presence of God be manifested in
and through us if we maintained this
attitude towards God and the world
We must seek Gods glory IL we would
enjoy His cooperation. First, then, is
the clean heart and life, that is, contff-
ton. Second, the desire for Gods glory
and not our own, that is, attitude; and
the third point has to do with equip
ment What shall we use if we are
to have the Lords cooperation? Need
we ask when God has promised so re-
peatedly to richly honor and bless His
Word, ct shall not return unto Me

SEA.LEYEL CANAL
IN TWENTY YEARS
Engineer Wallace Submits Fig
ures on Four Possible Plans
>, for Waterway.

Washington, Dec. 1e.-John F. Wal
lace, chief engineek Of the isthmian
canal commission, has given to the
house committee on, interstate and for
eign commerce the result of his inves-
LEGATIONS SO far asi made regarding the
engineering tasks to be performed in
the construction Of the Panama canal.
Mr.. Wallace says that the best esti-
mate Of cost that Gan be made at pres
emit would be based on the estimate of
the former commission Of 100000, 600
for the 90-foot level canal. Figuring
with this as basis, the 60-foot Level
canal would cost 1925, 100000, could be
opened for traffic in ten years and fully
completed In welve years; the 30-foot
level would cost $250,0O0,000, open fol
traffic in twelve years and fully com
pleted In fifteen years; the sea-leve1
canal could cost $300,O00.000, could be
open for traffic in fifteen years anG
completed in twenty years.
Sea-Level Canal.
Answering a question about the
operation Of sea-level canal, Mr.
Wallace said;
IA sea.level canal would be less ex
pensive to maintain, less expensive tt
operate, save time in passage thru it

entire line of the canal, including the
cities Of Panama and Colon. 1t would
also provide a power plant for the gen
GRAFTON of electric power sufficient to
furnish ample power for the operation
of the Panama railroad and for the oper-
alton of any machinery that might be
used in the construction Of the canal. 1t
would require two years to construct this
dam and roughly estimated it's cost, In
Guiding spllways, would be between fiji
teen and sixteen million dollars, not in
Guiding the power plant.
Extensive Examination.
The isthmus is traversed by a noun
| tain range the summit of which Is ap-
| proximately twelve miles from the Pa
ciic and thirty-five miles from the Carrib-
! bean. To determine the most feasible
| plan for the construction of the canal
will require a most careful and cOmpre-
| hensive examination not only of surface
| conditions, but the subsurface must be
explored. ~".-.
After following the valley, of the
Chagres to Gamboa, the line of the canal
! follows a tributary, called the Obispo,
up to the summit Of Culebra, and thence
follows down the valley of the Rio
Grande into the bay Of Panama. The
summit at Culebra was originally about
three hundred feet above the sea leve
and is the lowest point in the divide
along the entire length Of the isthmus
of Panama. ..-..- Ill .--

and could be widened and deepened
when required without interfering with
traffic.''
Chairman Hepburn question de-
veloped the estimate of time to build a
canal was based on ten-hour day, and
that with the construction of the Gam
boa dam and the operation of the power
plant electric light sufficient to illumine
the whole of the Culebra cut might be
had, thus making practical the working
Of two or more shifts and shortening the
time Of construction.
Cut the Problem.
Mr.. Wallace stated that the excava-
ton of this cut is the feature of the
construction Of the canal which takes
the time. He said:
Upon the economical and efficient
handling Of the material from Culebra cut
depends the cost and the time it will take
| to complete the canal. Every other ques-
ton and every other problem connected
with the entire work is subordinate anC
inferior to the problem Of the excavation
and disposal Of the material from the
Culebra cut; that is the principal prob
lem Of this work. The control of thu
Chagres, the construction Of the various
dams, the construction Of harbor i'm
| provement and all other work are rela
lively less important.
Work is now going on in the cut, one
American steam shovel and some Of thu
French machinery being in operation
Fourteen American steam shovels have
been purchased, one of which is being
set up. The others are to be delivered
at the rate of one month.
During October 3,1S5 men were on th
payrolls Of the commission Of thes
2,165 were laborers receiving 10 cent
silver an hour; 245 laborers receivin!
LIN cents an hour; IT'S were machinists

penters and masons; 256 were Ameri-
cans from the United States, whose COM
pensation is paid in gold and who fill
positions as engineers, clerks and fore
men, More laborers are to be employed
in the immediate future.
Four Plans Suggested.
Regarding the different plans Mr..
Wallace said:
| The first plan to be considered, the
one estimated upon by the former COM
mission, is the possibility and prac-
ticablity Of a. high dam, or proper foun-
dation for a high dam at Bohio upon
which depends the ACCESSIBILITY Of con-
structing high level canal, with the
s1rfe &c Of the water ninety feet above
sea level.
| The second plan under consideration
is a summit level Of sixty feet ABOVE
sea level. Constructing a canal on this
plan admits of two different methods OF
treatment. First, the construction Of a
dam sixty feet above sea level at Bohio,
with two locks of thirty feet, there be-
ing two locks on the western slope; sec
ond, the construction of a dam sixty feet
, above sea level at Gatun, eight miles
; from Colon, with two thirty-foot locks
in the same vicinity.
| IOGSOIV O1I N0CCoodIS'
The adoption of a sixty-foot 1eve
also will render it necessary to construc
a dam at Gamboa, in order to provide
a reservoir to accumulate water enough
, during the wet season to furnish wate
for the summit level of the canal. 4
The construction of dam at Gambo;
in this connection would also control thu
; Chagres river, except that it would b
necessary to provide a safety spillWa,
by the construction Of "a tunnel som
) eight miles in length thru the divide
discharging the surplus waters of tn
Chagres into the headwaters of the Jual
: Diaz or the alternative plan of con
Z structing a. tunnel four miles lon
4 thru the divide separating the Cha
4 gres basin from the headwaters of tn
5 Gatuncillo, a stream which enters int
the Chagres valley at Gatun. Shout
\ this latter course be adopted it would b
\ necessary to construct an auxiliary chan
4 mel for the Chagres from Gatun to tn
4 sea- in order to divert it's flood water
4 into the bay eastward Of Colon.
4 The third general plan under considera
& ton would be the construction of
canal with twenty foot or thirty-foe
\ level above the sea with a single lock q
\ Miraf1ores and single lock at Bohio, {
in the immediate vicinity; the construc
I ton of the Gamboa dam to be require
in this instance the same as in the sixty
4 foot level plan.
I Sea Level Plan.
The fourth plan would be the cor
struction Of a sea level with tidal loo
\ at Mirafores. In this connection it
necessary to explain that while the mea
! sea level Of the Pacific and the Caribbea
/ are the same, high tide in the bay
