THE GREAT WATERWAY.

Perhaps the most interesting discus
sion that is going on in the world OF
engineering today is that in relation
to the construction of the Panama ca
nal. 1t is now understood that Chief
Engineer Wallace does not favor a
searlever canal, but one thirty feet
above tidewater, which could at some
future time, If necessity arose, be con-
verified into a sea level proposition.
Such a canal would cost a great
less to build. What the people
Of the nation demand today is some
thing they will be able to use. If we
should start in on a tidewater canal
in all human probability most of us
would pass hence before it could be
completed.
chief Engineer Wallace has made
no positive recommendations, says
various propositions. There are four
suggested solutions:
/ A lock canal with the high level
ninety feet above the sea cost about
5000, 600. 600; time required. eight or
nine years.
9. A lock canal with the high level
sixty feet above the sea; cost about
1925 600, 900; time required, ten years.
3. A lock canal with the high level
thirty feet above the sea; cost about
$3.50. OOO. 600; time required. twelve
years.
4. A sea-level canal with a tide lock
at the Pacific end; cost about $500,
O0O, 900; time required, Is years.
1t is the third plan hat is likely tC
be carried out. Under this plan a
good many oil us may live to cross the
isthmus through the canal and enjoy
the experience denied to Columbus
when he sought a waterway to the
East Indies.

HOW TO WIN A HUSBAND.

Woman's sphere in this goth century is
not limited any more than is mans. She
can occupy almost any business position
or profession. and yet the popular view of
womanhood is that she best fits the posi-.
ton of wife and mother and head of the
household. Every girl should know her
heart and also know that her wonIanly
system Is equal to the strain of marriage,
If a gin is nervous and irritable ten chances
to one 1t is due to some trouble peculiar to
womanhood.
she Is nervous and irritable, feels dragged
down, worn out for no reason that she can
think OF. The weak back, dizzy spells and
black circles about the eyes are only svmp-
toms. Go to the source of the trouble and
correct the irrcgularity. Stop the drains
on the womEnly system and the other
symptoms will disappear. This can be
done easily and intelligently. So sure of

and reasonable trial of their means o. cure.

AMEND THE PURE FOOD LAW.

chemist and his assistant are doubt

der the law, but they have no power
to cause the arrest of parties. They

there is no money to pay the health

The next legislature should make
some provisions whereby the law may

Probably the best plan would be to
