II Is the testimony Of people who
have lately been before the Senate
Committee on the Panama Canal. both
witnesses and spectators. and OF out
siders who have studied the record of
the long series of examinations of en-
gineering experts. that the general ef-
feet OF these inquiries has been appar-
emily to strengthen the case OF the ad-
vocates of the sea-level canal plan.
When the board OF consulting en-
gineers last fall made its report, and II
became known that the majority favor
ed the sea-level ditch. opposition came
from many quarters.
Hsving been so vigorously criticised
for their report, the members of the
majority have been the more anxious TO
make their showing as strong as pos
sible In the committees inquiry. in
order to vindicate their position.
One OF the features in the financial
showing that has been made to tell
against the lock canal design is the
question OF land damages In order to
build lock canal. a great area OF land
must be bought and converted. by
means of dams, into a lake. The Gatun
lake is calculated to embrace an area
OF 10 square miles. The advocates OF
the lock plan are accused OF slurring
over the problem of buying this land,

Advocates of This Scheme Encouraged by
Effects of Testimony That Was Given Before

but General Davis, who was governor
OF the canal zone under the Walker
commission, gave the committee a most
Illuminating statement on this point
General Davis told OF a number Of ex-
periences of the old commission IN buy
ing land. showing how utterly impos-
sible IL was tc secure property at any
thing like an honest valuation. Some
rock wastes that the commission could
not get along without cost $1,000 an
acre, absolutely worthless for any pur-
pose except that of the canal. He was
finally pinned down TO a general esti-
mate that the 10000 acres or there
abouts OF land that would be flooded
would cost $500 an acre. and that meant
total of about 81. 600 900. The COM
mittee sat up and took due notice when
these large figures were presented.

Experiments satisfied me. some five
years ago. writes a Topeka woman.
THAT coffee was the direct cause of the
insomnia from which l suffered ter
ribly. as well as the extreme nervous
ness and acute dyspepsia which made
life a most painful thing for me.
Il had been a coffee drinker since
childhood. and did not like TO think that
the beverage was doing me all this
harm. But it was, and the time came
when ] had TO face the fact. and pro-
tect myself. l therefore gave il up,
abruptly and absolutely. and adopted
Postum Food Coffee for my hot drink
at meals.
Il began TO note Improvement in my
condition very soon after l took on
Postum. The change proceeded grad
ually. but surely. and IL was a matter
of only a few weeks before L found
myself entirely relieved-the nervous
ness passed away, my digestive appara-
tus was restored to normal efficiency.
and began TO sleep, restfully and
peacefully.
