FLESH EATING BIRDS.
They Find Their Prey by Sight, not
by Sensc of Smell.

study Of the habits Of flesh eating
birds shows that If they possess the
sense of smell at all it Is not suf1l-
ciently acute to enable them to use It
IN finding food.
All observers arc agreed that when
carcass is hidden by never so slight
screen it Is safe from the attacks Of
vnltnres md other carrion seekers,
but the most remarkable proof Of the

WAIT FOR AN APPETITE.
Do Not Emf MenI Unless You Arc
Really Hungry.

Really Hungry.
1t Is not wise to eat unless there is Il
real. natural hunger. 1t Is fur better to
miss meal than to cat without Ill ap-
petite.
y prolific cause of chronic indiges-
ton Is eating from habit and simply
because 1t Is menltimc. To eat when
not hungry Is to ent without relish. and
food taken without relish is worse than
wasted. Without relish the sulivary
glands do not act, the gastric fluids are
not freely secrctcd ana the best of
foods will not be dlgcstcd. Many per-
fectly harmless dishes are severely
condemned for no. other reason than
they, were eaten without relish and due
insalivatlon. y,
Hunger makes the plainest food en-
joyable. 1t causes vigorous secretion
and outpouring of all the digestive
fluids-tle sources Of phyain, pepsln,
tryspin. etc.-without q plentiful sup
ply of which no foods can be perfectly
digcstcd.
Wait for an appetite IL it takes a
week. Fasting is one Of the saving
graces. It has spiritual Significance
only, through Its great physical and
hydrologic Importance. If breakfast Is
a bore or lunch a matter of Indifference
cut one or both of them out. Wait for
distinct and unmlstakablc hunger and
then eat slowly. If you do this you
need ask few questions as to the pre-
priety and digestibiIity Of what you
eat, and it need not be predigested. -

ing TO an announcement Of policy made
today by Chairman Shonts. of the
Panama Canal Commission. Mr..
ShOnt9 said:
Our first duty is to create sound
underlying conditions. This is vastly
more important,' than the moving of
dirt. The men must have suitable
houses in healthy surroundings; they
must have wholesome and nourishini,
food ut reasonable cost; they must
have transportation facilities to get
to anil from their work, anu they must
have opportunity for recreation af-
fcrde,l them. II will he the policy
OF the commission to provide these
essentials au quickly as possible and
to only increase the working force,
asile from the mechanics necessary
to provide these necessities, as fast
as the facilities indicated can he
furnished. The commission realizes
that its adherence to this policy will
result III the actual handling of less
quantities IF material temporarily, but
1t also knows that with healthy I'M.
DERIVING conditions vastly more will
be accomplished later on at less cost
and with less friction.

OF the commission To give to the pub
lie the actual conditions as they exist
on the is.hmus without any attempt
to either color ur conceal. So much
has been said by the press of an cx-

there were twenty canal employees

pany and no deaths. During the month
OF July. up TO the present. there have
been no ncw cases anu there is but
one cmplOyc under treatment.
In regard to The wages paid and
the statements that so many men left
because of reduction in salaries, the
TACT is that wages, instead of having
been reduced, have been very consid-
e:ably increased in every branch of
the service OH the Isthmus during the
