El Psas6leo no es un substitute del
Aeease de HigadO de Bacala0

Durante la presente escasez de
aceite de hfgado de- bacalao, algunos
industriales han hecho grandes es-
fuerzos para popularizar en- provecho
propio el uso de petroleo para6na
como subtancia a1imenticia.
Bastante rfdiculo es en- verdad, POT
no cali6carlo de otro modo, el asegu-
rar que el petroleo puede substituir al
aceite de h1gado de bacalao.
La gran reputation de que goza Ell
aceite de hfgado de baca1ao es debide
sus grandes propiedades nutritivas 8
a1imenticias. En- verdad, el aceite de
hfgsdo de bacalao no solamente IS
tin alimento, sino que es el mejor me-
dicamento que Sc conoce en- Medicina
y adn no Sc ha podido encontrar en- Ia
natu1aleza otro alimento igua1, y
anunciar el petr6leo como Tin substi-
tuto del aceite de hfgado de bacalao,
es atribuir al petr6leo 6 parafna pro-
piedades que no tiene. El petr6leo
carece de Ia propiedad esencial de TO-
do alimento, eS decir, la de ser aSimi-
liable. El petr6leo 6 parafna no sola-
mente no eS una substantial asimilable,
sino Que cuando sc toma interiormente

evacuaciones intestinales, causando in
digestion, irritaci6n del est6mago y
de los intestinos, intermediates del

cia diarrea y disenterfa.
La presente eScasez de aceite hfgado
de bacalao es I'm case exceptional que
no durara mucho tempo, pero ha des-
mostrado va la gran demanda que
conStantemente hay en- Ell mundo por
este producto alimenticio. Miles de
personas, j6venes y ancianos. usan
-oontinaamente este aceite Y su salud J

Afortunadamente la mayor parte
del aceite de bacalao que Sc consume

MORGAN WINS With
HIS IMPORTED DOGS

New York. Feb. 1O.-The feature of
the opening day at the dog show in
Madison Square Garden was the sweep
ing success of J. Pierpont Morgan with
his rough collies. Mr.. Morgan has
not exhibited in recent years, but to-
day he showed some superb English
importations. The star of the kennel
was Wishaw Clinker, dog which could
not be beaten in England. and for
which Mr.. Morgan is said to have paid
between $4,000 and $4,000.
The second best was Ormskirk Olym-
plan, which, until he met Clinker, had
not been beaten. With these two dogs,
and some others, all the principal prizes
went to MIR. Morgan. In the open class
he took all three prizes and in the
winners. which is tantamount to the
championship, Wishaw Clinker beat all,
and Ormskirk Olympian took the re-
serve ribbon.

CONSIDERING PERSONNEL
: OF THE CANAL COMMISSION.

Washington, Feb. 10-As it seems
certain now that the Panama canal
treaty will be ratified soon by the
Senate, President Roosevelt has taken
up with Secretary Shaw the arrange
ments necessary to be made by this
government for the payment of s4O,-
100000 for the canal property and the
$1O.OOO,0OO to the republic of Panama.
The President is considering very
carefully the composition of the Canal
Commission. 1t is thought to be GER
tain that Rear Admiral Walker,
president of the present commission,
will be a member of the new commits
sion and probably will head it. Isham
Randolph, the chief engineer of the
Chicago drainage canal, and Gen.
George w. Davis, U. S. A., retired,
also, it is believed, have been decided
upon as members of the commission.
New York, Feb. 10.-Leslie NJ. Shaw,
Secretary of the Treasury, was in
conference with number of bankers
at the sub treasury to-day regarding
the governments payment OF Panama
canal moneys. Definite arrangements
have been completed, the Secretary

disturbance of local financial con-
ditions.

He explained that when he came to
Washington to assume his duties he
owed 100000, and at the present time
owes but $4,000 of the debt. 1t was
brought out by the government that
since 1899 Machen had deposited in a
Westminster (Md.) bank over $4,000,

that it was impossible for him from
the various sources mentioned by him
to have received this amount of money.

BY r. NJ. Larner.
Washington, Feb. 1O.-A member of
the Georgia delegation is authority for
the statement that Representative
Maddox is to retire from Congress to
become the legal advisor of aabusiness
enterprise. which will yield him a
larger income than that of a member
of Congress, and at the same time fur
nish him more congenial employment.
Judge Maddox is also interested in
his sons political aspirations.
Bartlett Opposed the 'LOan."
Representative Bartlett is credited
with having made the most damaging
speech delivered against the st. Louis
Exposition loan scheme. After de-
nouncing the proposed loan as unwar-'
ranted, he said that if the United
States government is going into the
mOney-lending business, 1t should dis
card it's emblem, the American eagle
and shield, and substitute three golden
balls.
All of the Georgia members, except
Messrs Livingston and Hardwick, are

LAID OFF AT BRUNSWICK.
This is Taken as an Indication of
the Closing of the Railroad Deal.

MS Il lakGA an OA
the Closing of the Railroad Deal.
Brunswick. Ga. Feb. 1O.-Twenty-
FIVE employees at the Brunswick and
Birmingham Railroad shoDs in this
city were laid off this morning. under
orders from the general officers The
men were given no reason for this ac-
ton. except that the road wanted to
curtail expenses.
However, this action. together with
the fact that Bird NJ. Robinson. pres
ident of the Brunswick and Birming-
ham, visited Waycross yesterday and
held a consultation with President
Raoul and other officials of the Allan
tic and Birmingham. is a good sign
that the deal which has been pending
between the two lines for some time
has been finally closed, and it is be-
lisved that the shops here will later be
closed temporarily.
None of the officials are in the city
to-day to give out anything definite as
