It threads its way in that city along narrow boardwalks edging streets that are filled with a growth of rank veg citation; or. where the streets are over solid ground. that are filtered with refuse matter of every noxious variety. For it there are no amusements, no entertain ments. The men, after their days work about the docks or in the railroads ser vice is done, crowd the saloons and gambling houses.

 Under such circumstances one does not look for culture or refinement; nor does one wonder that people die in this fever infected land. The wonder is that condi- tions are as good as they are; that any body lives, instead of that some thousands die every day.

 In the interior. between Colon and Pam anna, and in those parts we'll away from the railroad, domestic and social condi- tions are as bad as at Colon. In that portion of. this republic the people live in meanly built matched novels. or exist as ''squatters' in the long-disused and de- caying canal company houses.

(Stah Correspondent or The American.)
 Panama, R. P, December 23-"The oth- CT half' in Panama is in reality the ninety-and-nine, and in the general do- nestle conditions surrounding its living, 1t is but few degrees removed from sav- agery. Of the other one in this particu- lar equation it may be said that it lives under domestic and social conditions com n1only found in those countries where the glory of Spain is a memory centuries old. Far up in the western portion of 'the new republics domain there live some natives who claim to be the des- cendants of those whom the Spaniards found when they discovered and con- quered the country, and who seem to have retained the true native customs, speech and physical type. In that same section, notably in the Province of Chi riqui. as well as Porto BellO and Nombre de Dfos, to the eastward of Colon, on the Caribbean coast, there live to this day decaying remnants of the old Spanish gentility. Of these it is hardly worth while to speak, for they are so shut off from the world, living such narrow, stunt ed lives, that they wield practically no influence nor are they a matter of any public concern.
 To the eastward of Nombre de Dios, stretching away for many miles toward
 
 San Bias Indians, a race of stockily- built, bullet-headed shocky-haired abor- fgines, dominated by peculiar ideas and marked by most peculiar traits. These Inlians trade little with white men. . and occasionally small parties of them make their way into Colon bringing CO., coanuts or tortoise shells for barter: but the one great aim of their existence is to keep their blood untainted. To attain this end they have q hardaan-fast rule under which their women are never per- mitted communication with white men, and to save their blood from pollution white men are absolutely excluded from their coast at nightfall. The going down of the sun is a signal for every white man who happens to be on this coast to go aboard ship or stand offshore during the night in his cayuca, it being stated upon excellent authority that, so rigidly to the rule enforced, that no white man has ever slept night on the land belong ing to the San Bias Indians.

 From that day forth the boy will be a servant to his master, faithful, obedlent, respectful and willing; but there comes a time when this relationship ends. Some time or other the white man will note
 the disappearance of the servant-the boy will have gone to his destiny with his tribe. for. while the youngsters are taught that a white man will take them away, they are taught, too, that when
 they reach the age of about IS years they are to slip away from the white mans home and return to their native coast.
 This they do invariably, working their way back to the isthmus as common sail ors and rejoining the tribe. Their fate thereafter Is not unpleasant, for upon their return they are made minor chiefs or become teachers. So common has this practice been for. many. decades among the. San Bias Indians that to-day the tribe understands and speaks the Eng fish language freely. and, while forbid ding him their coast after sundown, is al- ways glad to welcome and entertain an Enslish-speakjne. man during the day.

STRONGEST EVIDENCE OF FAITH
B. G. Fowler Guarantees that Hyomei Will Cure the Worst Case of Ca tarrh in Montgomery.

When one of the most reputable con- cerns in Montgomery guarantees that a medicine will effect d cure or he will re- fund the money, it speaks volumes as to the merits of that remedy. It is in this way that Mir. Fowler is selling Hyomei. the treatment that has made so many remarkable cures of both acute and chronic catarrh in Montgomery and yt- cinity.
 Hyomei is not a pill nor is it liquid that has to be taken with a tablespoon or wineglass. Just breathe it by the aid of an inhaler that comes in every outfit and benefit will be seen from the first treatment.
 It destroys all germ life in the air pas- sages and lungs and enriches and purifies the blood with additional ozone. It cures catarrh of the head and throat, or of the stomach, liver and kidneys. Wherever mucous membrane contains catarrhal germs, there Hyomei will do it's work of healing When using this treatment the air you breathe will be found like that on the mountains high above th,, sea ley al where grow balsamic trees and nlants hich make the air pure by givInp. off vd Ele antiseptic fragrance that Is hearinA Q the respiratory organs

Their method of securing that association is, however, most pecu- liar. From the days of their infancy the youths of this tribe are taught that some day or other q white man will come to take them away and make servants of them.

My friends tried to persuade me to consult my physiciani but dreading that he would insist on using the knife, I would not consent to go. Instead, got Cuticura ResOlvent and Cuticura Ointment. l took the former according to direc. tions, and spread 6 thick layer of the Ointment on the swelling. On renew ing it l would bathe my neck in very warm water and Cuticura Soap. In Q few days the Cuticura Ointment had drawn the swelling to Q head, when it broke. Every morning 1t was opened with large steriliSed needle, squeezed and bathed, and fresh Ointment pat on. Pus and blood, and a yellow, chessy, humorous matter came out.

A SwintOn-Dana Story.

The crux of the newspaper question

Swinton. "For a first class man 1925

not get first class man for that" pro-
tested Mr.. Swinton. "Why mott" asked
Mr.. Dana. THAT is what l pay you,
and don't you consider yourself first
class man" "No, Mr.. DANA" rejoined
Mr.. Swinton. IF were a first class
man. l should be paying you $125 a
week." That $125 week practically
marked the limit Of Mr.. Swinton's OPP
