WORKMEN IN NEED OF FOOD.
Canal Laborers Who Do Bulk of Work
Are Half Starved.

President Roosevelt has received
telegram from Hudgins and Dumas
protesting against the letting of a con-
tract by Chairman Shonts of the 18TH
milan canal to J. e. Markell of Omaha,
for the hotel and subsistence conces-
sions in the Panama zone.
The threatened starvation of Pana-
ma canal laborers was one of the
grounds which caused Mr.. Shonts,
chairman of Panama canal commits
sion to accept the j. e. Markell bid
for supplying food to government en-
ployes at Panama, causing two unsuc-
cessful bidders to protest to President
Roosevelt. Chief Engineer John Ste
vens has been sending daily appeals
to the canal commissioners headquar-
ters to send his men food. 1t was SAID
by an authority that laborers who are
doing the hard work have been for
some time in half starved condition,
due to the fact that the demand for
food has raised the prices of all com
modities to abnormal figures in Pan
ANA.
The dollar day men, with eggs at
10 cents each and bad meat from ~ TO
40 cents a pound, have gone for two
and three days at time without any
food except that got from sucking the
wild cane in the swamps. They have
gathered around the headquarters OF
officers begging for food, and daily
cables to Washington for food supplies
have been the result. In this emery
1, for accounting
the Markell bid, it is learned was the
fact that he has an organized force
ready to put into Panama at once.

NATURE SPARES


What q fortunate provision of nature
II is. that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be it's
grief to discover. in the height Of its
blooming glory. that a canker fed at ita
heart. and that Its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is o veritable
store-house Of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
