PANAMA CANAL KNOCKERS
ARE SCORED BY sHONTs

"ouAu6sOAs NOV. theodore p
Shonts, chief Of the isthmian canal

81 the joint meeting Of the American
Hardware Manufacturers Association
and the National Hardware Assooia.
ton at the New Willard hotel last
night. There was large attendance
OF members of both associations, by
whom Mr.. Shonts was given a hearty
reception as he entered the hall.
Mr.. Shonts reviewed the progress Of
work on the canal and the obstacles
overcome and concluded by saying:
The canal will be built-rest as
sured OF thst-and it will be built at
Panama. Those two phases Of the
problem have passed irrevocably from
the field Of debate. There are indus.
trious and voluble bands of hired An.
naniases moving to and fro in the
land whose mission it is to deny this.
The burden of their song is The canal
will never be built at Panama, and
every body connected with the enter
prise, from the president and commits
sioners and engineers down is con-
vinced Of this
"You can hear the members of this
band chanting their song, singly and
in chorus, wherever men congregate,
and wherever few reporters are gath
cred together. They are rehearsing for
their grand burst of noise when con-
gress shall have assembled. When they
are not rehearsing they are putting the
words of their song into bogus inter-
views and other written forms of news
paper publication, which they are
sending forth by thousands from their
bureau Of publicity in this and other
cities.
'Who is capitalizing this industry?
What is the bountiful source Of this
spouting spring Of mendacity! Is it to
be found among the friends OF the 18TH
milan canal? Are these supplying funds
for the sustenance Of such q campaign
of misinformation? What interests ex-
cept those foolishly dreading the COM
petition of the isthmian canal would
put up money to delay and possibly de-
feat ite construction? That there are
interests of that kind is not q matter
of suspicion or speculation, but OF his
tory. They have been fighting q canal
for moro than half century, and they
fought it successfully till Theodore
Roosevelt armed with his big stick, :
appeared az it's champion. From that
moment their efforts have been power
les, but they have not yet discovered
the fact. They are wasting their ener-
gies and their cash, for behind Theo-
dore Roosevelt stand the American peo-
pie In solid mass and with q determ-
ined front, shouting a. one man:
"'Give ID canal that wilt be ado
ouate TO meet the demands Of the COM
meroe Of the world, and give it to Us
at the earliest possible moment.

EGGS ARE A PERFECT FOOD.

Contain All Elements Necessary for
Nourishment of Body.
Almost everybody eats eggs. There
is perhaps no article Of diet that is
more commonly eaten In all countries
than eggs. Hens eggs are used more
than any other kind, although some
people eat duck eggs, goose eggs and
the eggs of guinea fowl. Turkeys
eggs are not 30 often eaten; they are
generally kept for Matching.
Eggs are said to be perfect food,
the same as milk-that is, containing
all the food elements necessary for
the growth and maintenance Of the
young chick, just as milk does for the
young animal. While it Is true Of
course, says Medical Talk, that the
egg does contain all the elements nec-
essary for the young chick, yet 1t
would not follow that these elements
are in the right proportion for the
sole nourishment of an adult person.
That eggs are splendid food Is not to
be questioned, but that eggs alone
would furnish sufficient diet for q
grown person is hardly probable.
Eggs consist Of proteine and fat.
water and mineral matter. 1t is the
proteine or heterogeneous matter that
builds up and repairs the tissues OF
the body, while the fat supplies en-
erxy. The white of an egg is often
said to be pure albumen, but it also
contains phosphoric acid and sodium
chloride or common salt. The yolk
contains the fatty part Of the egg.
phosphorus, calcium. magnesium. pot
assium and iron. Eggs also contain
sulphur, and this probably accounts
for the dark stain left by eggs on sil-
yer, the sulphur coming In contact
with the silver forming silver sui
phide.
Eggs are very easily digested. Raw
eggs are more quickly digested than
cooked eggs. Soft boiled eggs, roast
ed eggs and poached eggs are more
easily digested than fried or hard-boil-
ed eggs. The stomach win digest .
raw egg in from one and half 70 two
hours. Soft boiled and roasted eggs
renuire from two ana half to three
hours. while hard boiled or fried eggs
must be allowed from three and half
te four hours for digestion
EGGS furnish good substitute for
meat. and We believe 1t would b far
halter for the average person IL eggs

William Sellers, who established the
Edgmoor Iron Works in Delaware oppos-
lite PENIS Grove in 1868, and had for his
summer residence the large mansion with
Grecian columns a short distance above
the works, died OH Tuesday in the Hospit-
al at the University of Pennsylvania, after
all operation, aged 81 years. His home
was at 1919 Vine Street, Philadelphia.
He was a farmers son, having been
born at Upper Darby, Delaware County,
