WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 13.-In
an address on reclamation work in the

society, last night, G. j. Blanchard of
the geological survey declared that sew
enty seven miles of main canals Of river
size have been built during the three
years in which the United States recla-
nation service has been organized.
Irrigation canals long enough to span
the earth twice and representing an out
lay Of S90,000,OOO had been built the
past quarter century.
Every year." he said, this area re-
turns harvest valued at more than
$3.50, 100000, and 100000 people dwell
in harmony and content where only a
short time ago the wilderness reigned.
THE reclamation service has built "a
miles of irrigation canals and 1856 miles
of bitches. 1t has constructed and has
in operation $50 miles of telephone, 125
miles of road in canyons, involving deep
cuts; it has excavated 100000 cubic
yards of material and one-half mile of
tunnels. Work is now actually going on

IN THE SENATE.

The Senate on the 9th adopted two resoIu-
tons of inquiry. One authorizes an inyesti-
cation by the committee on interoceanic
canals into the general conduct of Panama
canal affairs, and the other an inquiry by
the finance committee into the question of
the exchange rate on money on the isthmus
The remainder of the open session was de-
voted to a speech by Mr.. Morgan on the
railroad rate question, his bill being re.
ferred to the committee on interstate COM
merce. At 100 p. IN. the Senate went into
executive session to take up Mr.. Bacon's
resolution calling on the President for in
formation regarding the attitude of the
United States government on the Moroccan
question. Adjournment until next day was
had at 500 p. IN.
The Senate on the 10th disposed of con.
siderable business, about eighty bills being
calendar Most of the measures grant
private pensions or authorize the construc-
propriated 100000 for the marking Of
the graves of confederate soldiers who died
in northern prisons during the Civil war
Then attention was given to the question of
Panama canal salaries, the pure food meas
and the merchant marine bill, but with
out taking action on them. The senators
fought shy of the Moroccan controversy,
and when the resolution dealing with the
subject was reached on the calendar an
executive session was taken at 3:17 p. m.
to avoid discussion. The Senate adjourned
at 1926 p.
In the Senate on the 18th Mr.. Hepburn
spoke in support Of his bill creating a ma
tlOnaI DOarQ Tor the cOnCrOl OF corporations.
The message of the President, transmitting
the letter of Secretary Taft to him on the
subject of Poultney Bigelow's article on the
condition of affairs in Panama, was received
and ordered printed together with the Bige-
low article. Mr.. Bacon revived his Moroc-
can resolution, and the doors were closed
for discussion. 1t was decided to leave the
resolution on the calendar, which virtually
ends the incident. At APO p. ~. the Senate
adjourned until Monday.
Mr. Bacon succeeded on the 18th in Sc
curing an open discussion of the Moroccan
question in the Senate. 1t came up through
the introduction Of a resolution making Il
general declaration against interference on
the part of the United States in any con-
troverSy among European nations concern
ing their internal affairs At Mr.. Bacon's
request the resolution was referred to the
committee on foreign relations. The mer-
chant marine bill was laid before the Sen
ate Mr.. GalIinger offered a number of
amendments, relating principally to the
naval militia proposed by the bill, which
we're adopted At 3:44 p. N. the Senate
went into executive session and at 400 p.

WATERMELONs AND MORALITY.
Desire for Beer Is at It's Lowest Ebb IN
Texas.

f'Our Sundays now show a large de-
crease in the number of jags," said Sergt
John Fitzhenry at police headquarters
''Have you thought of the reason for
this? There is a reason for it and
only tumbled upon it the other day
Look at the records for the past month
and see if what l tell you is not true as
to effect. Now as to the cause. 1t is
simple l don't know whether the min
listers and the saloon men realize it or
not, but the watermelon as a moral fac
tor is equal to ten policemen.
''How do I know? Simply by study
ing causes and effects. We can see the
effects here Of some cause which has
decreased the number of Sunday jags.
There is just as much beer to be had,
just as much made. It's just as cold
and tastes Just as good as ever. Men
like it as well now as they did III April
They have the same means of getting it.
But they don't drink as much. Why?
Because they eat Waterme1Ons. There's
nothing SO cooling as a watermelon off
the ice. 1t slakes the thirst as we'll as
anything else, and after eating a large,
juicy slice no man will have any desire
left for a cold, frothy stein, no matter
what his tastes may be. This is a fact.
THE watermelon is the only fruit
know of which asserts a positive moral
influence to such an extent that it will
show on the records of the police de-
partment. Take the classes of people
who usually pay us a visit, and a fne
too, if they get drunk. They can get a
good melon for 10 cents and they prefer
that to beer. Hence we have fewer
jags, fewer visitors and collect less
money in fines. Put the watermelon
down as positive moral factor and you
will make no mistake."-San Antonio

COAL MINERS ARE IMMUNE.
10 Tubercular Infection Among Men
Who Work in Fuel Pits

A sensation has been created in Du-
quoin, ILL.,, by the publication of a COM
munication from DR.. M. G. Carr of that
place. He finds the coal miner practical
" immune from tuberculosis. The COM
tnunication is as follows:
After an experience of twenty-five years,
and during this time having under my OBJ
servation from 700 to 1900 coal miners, and
after careful inquiry among the oldest min
ers, / have been forced to the conclusion
that bituminous coal miners, while actively
engaged in their occupation, are practically
immune from tubercular infection.
About seven years ago l commenced the
treatment Of whooping cough by sending
the patient down in the mines Immediately
after the miners had fred a shot: having
the patient inhale the gas and powder
smoke for one and one-half to two hours
at q time. | found that one or two sit
tings was sufficient to effect a cure in
from four to six days, and without other
medicine.
This was followed up until 1 have on
my records from 70 to 100 cases, ranging
in age from months to q years. This
treatment has passed, SO far as my ex-
perience goes, from the experimental stage
to the stage of confirmation. 1t is SO sue
cessful and is now we'll known in this
locality, the miners take their children SO
affected into the mines, without consulting
a physician, and always with the happiest
results.
