SHOCKED tbs REFORMERs.


La Crosse, Wis, Oct. 19.-Purity re.
form methods received two crushing
blows Wednesday night when Profess
sor Newton N: Riddell Of Chicago, aud

the National Purity conference before
o large audience at the Methodist

Professor Riddell denounced the ad-

ton, following closely upon a virtual
decision of the conference to conduct
Just such an educational campaign,
and to cast the limelight Of publicity
upon the modern" fleshpots Of Egypt"
caused the good purity workers to hold
their breath In amazement. Then, as
the conference reeled under this sharp
criticism, Frederick d. Sturgis Of hos

denunciatior Of the Mrs. Carrie Ma.

CANAL WILL TAKE TIME.
board Of Consulting EnEineers Re-
turn From Trip 10 Isthnns but
Have Made No Report.

Washington, Oct. 20-Though tn
trip OF the board of consulting engl
neers to the Isthmus was hard one
especially for these members accustom
ed to a cold climate, they are all high
ly enthusiastic over the management o.
their journey. The heat was at mos
times excessive and In the room where
the meetings were held tn thermometer
often registered 80 degrees. The heavy
rains which fell almost daily did not
bring any relief, but no member was
sick even for single day. Although
cases Of yellow fever still occur, the
efforts Of DR.. William Crawford Cor
gas, United States Army, have achieved
great results and the yellow fever mos
nuitoes have been almost entirely de-
stroyed. Several Of the members OF
the commission commented upon the
difference between the canal zone
where American methods are employ
d and the Isthmian regions where the
old condition still prevails. Next to
Colon, which is one of the most I'M
healthy and dirty of cities, they found
Cristobal under the American manage
ment, which has become a healthy
city. It is laid out in pleasing manner.
The town Of Panama has been greatly
improved. A water supply has been pro-
vided and a sewer system and paved
streets are under construction.
The reception, President Amador Of
the republic Of Panama, gave to the
members Of the board was most agree
able. Though 1t took place in the after
noon, the weather was so bad and the
rain fell in such streams that the re-
ception had to take place by artificial
light. Mr.. Stevens, the chief engineer
Of the canal appeared one day before
the commission and was questioned on
different subjects. 1t was the opinion
Of several members that the trip had
enabled them to see the real conddi-
lions Of the undertaking and had help
ed them more to form correct opin-
on Of the difficulties to be dealt with
han any amount Of information fur
lished by others.
No member has the slightest doub:
If the final completion Of the canal,

the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine Is certain to help.

WOULD IMPROVE THE WHEAT.

Brit1sh hil1ers Making I'm Important FIX.
perimsnts to Raise tho Grade.
A plan to improve the quality Of
British wheat has been reported to the
department of agriculture by It's Eu-
ropcan agent. The report says that
during the last two years experiments
likely to result in important practical
results have been carried en- by the
National Association Of British and
Irish hillers looking to the improve
meat Of the quality of wheat grown In
the UAited Kingdom.
The Decline which tho industry in
tho United Kingdom has long been uH-
dergoing, not only in quality OF prod
uct. bat especially In extent OF area,
has for years attracted wide atten-
tion and the solution OF the problem
Is chiefly to demonstrate by expert
meat the practical ability OF improp-
ing native wheats In the property of
strength. BY this means 1t Ia as
sorted that the declining industry can
be reviyined, successful competition
with the best imported wheat made
possible and the business Of wheat-
growing In the United Kingdom ulti-
mately restored to It's formerly prom
inent economic position.
The Introduction and testing of seed
wheat from foreign countries has been
carried on on a large scale. The gen.
eral result has been that with few
exceptions all foreign wheats degen-
crate when planted on English soil
and develop very erratically, though
sown under identical conditions. Kan
sas wheat so deteriorated that expert
ments with 1t have been abandoned.
The most promising results seem to
have been obtained from an improved
red fife from the government expert
mental station, Ottawa. Ont. This
wheat is now in It's third year In Eng
land and shows great properties Of
strength, yields abundantly and pos
sesses remarkable adaptability.
