FOREIGN BIDS FOR CANAL work.
Belgian and English and Perhaps German
and French Contractor May Compete.

Belgian and English and Perhaps German
and French Contractors May Compete.
WASHINGTON. Oct. lI.-American con-
tractors will have foreign competition
in their efforts to secure from the Isthmian
Canal Commission the contract for doing
the construction work Of the Panama Canal.
Baron Moncheur, the Minister OF Belgium
to the United States, called at the COM
missions Office to-day and obtained copies
Of the form Of contract which will be fol-
lowed in letting the work to a contracting
concern, and various other facts and figures
which will be OF use to bidders. While
the Minister did not say so directly. he
was certainly getting the information
for Belgian interests. 1t is regarded
as certain at the canal Offices hat there
will be English bids also. n 1t will not be
surprising il the Germans and French do
not make an effort TO secure the contract.
The commissions advertisement invit-
ing the submission Of bids ia appearing
in pers in all parts OF the country.
The bids will be opened in Washington
at noon on December ~. Copies Of, the
formal invitation, proposed contract and
bond can be obtained at any OF the com
missions purchasing agencies. The big
contractors Of this country are taking "A
deep interest in the project, and some Of
them have engineers in Panama making
an inspection u the work there and estimat-
ing the cost OF cOnst ruction.
Ii the contract should GO to "A foreign
concern there will be no change in the re-
quirement that the materials used in con-
~struction be purchased in the United States.
BY law the commission Is required to buy
everything in the United States, unless,
in the Judgment Of the President. the prices
asked are unreasonable This contingency
has not been encountered. On the con-
traTy the Canal Commission is buying
machinery and building materials for use
in Panama At a less cost than some of the
big railroads and contracting companies
are paving for the same things.

Important Movement ir dvertisIne.

The creation of a General Advertising Department for the New oik Central Lines, and the placing i2 charge of that department the veteran T-ilroad alvcr- User, George II. Daniels, who has been for nearly twenty years the General Pas senger Agent of the New York Central Railroad, marks an era ia the history ot advertising in America.
 The New York Central Lines are tho first great system to create an adyertis' ing department which covers all tine Tal- ways in their system, and the far-reaching consequences of such d movement cannot be appreciated at first sight, but this ac- ten on the part Of the management of these lines emphasizes the value ct adrcr- Using generally, Ind forces the eonelu- sion of a strong belief in the efficacy of railroad advertising in particular.
 Some idea of the importance of this new department can be had when it is understood that 1t will control the zen eral advertising in America and in foreign countries of the New ! ork Central, Dos ton and Albany, Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, Michigan Central, Cleveland Cincinnati. Chicago and St. legis. Rut- land, and Lake Erie and Western railways and their leased lines, having ther west. ern terminals at Chicago. St. Louis and Cincinnati, and their eastern ermlnals at New l ork, Boston and Montreal, and em- bracing more than twelve thousand mlles of the best equipped railways i'll the world.
 Mr Danels has for many years been q firm believer in newspaper and magazine advertising, and, therefore. the oTeaHiza ton of the General Advertising Depart ment of the New York Central Lanes i3 of importance te every legitimate pahlica- ton Ill AmcYica. daily. weekly or monthly.
 In an ediress before the New ork State Press Association a few years ago, Mir. Daniels made the point that the rail- road is the advance agent of commerce. and that railway advertising had been of immense value to American manufac- furers m calling the attention of the whole world to the excellent work done by our inventors and mechanics, as illus trated in the Empire State Express. the Twentieth Century Limited, and other great trains that connect the east with the west; the average foreigner arguing that the men who are able to turn out such machines must be able 10 build anything, and that the farm machinery, and ali kinds of industrial machinery made i'll Amer ica. must be of the very best quality. Rail road advertising has certainly been the means Infringing thousands of men here from foreign countries to investigate our manufactures and has wonderfully in creased our foreign commerce.
 Every legitimate newspaper and maga- zine publication in America will have q direct interest in the General Advertising Department of the New York Central Lines. and every advertising agent on the continent will take a lew lease of life because of this endorsement of the value

 The present Mrs. Pinkham has for twenty-five years made study of the ills of her sex: she has consulted with and advised thousands of suffering women. who to-day owe not only their health but even life to her helpful advice.
 Mrs. Fannie D. Fox, of Chestnut Street, Bradford. Pa., writes:
 Dear Mrs Pnkham

UNCONSCIOUS POISONING.
How It Often Happens from Coffee.


 T had no idea" writes a Duluth man, that it was the coffee had been drinking all my life that was respon. kible for the headaches which were growing upon me fer the dyspepsia that no medicines would relieve, and for the acute nervousness which un. fitted me not only for work but also tor the most ordinary social functions.
 But at last the truth dawned upon ne and forthwith bade the harmful beverage a prompt farewell, ordered 1n some Postum. and began to use it. The good effects of the new food drink were apparent within a very few days. My headaches grew less frequent, and decreased in violence, my stomach grew strong and able to digest my food without distress of any kind, my nervousness has gone. and l am able to enjoy life with my neighbors and sleep soundly onights. My physical strength and nerve pow CT have increased so much that can do double the work used to do. and feel no undue fatigue afterwards.
 This improvement set in just as soon as the old coffee poison had so worked out of my system as to allow the food elements in the Postum 10 get hold to build me up again. | theerfully testify that 1t was Postum. and Postum alone that did all this. for when l began 10 drink it threw Qhyeic to the dogs" Name given by Post0m Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
