SettVtdfA iait mas resolved that tfe
Isthmian Canal Commission shall pur-
chase machinery and supplies for the
Panama Canal in the cheapest market.
unless Congress shall Otherwise direct,
says the Brooklyn Eagle That reso-
lllution, if carried into effect, will mean
that foreigners will stand an equal chance
with domestic manufacturers to sell goods,
to this government Some time ago the
Commission advertised for bids for two
dredges to be used in deepening the ca
nal. A Scotch firm and firm in Mary
land submitted bids. In cost and in
speed of delivery the Scotch competitors
Jistanced their American rivals the di1-
ference in price alone representing a saw
ing TO the Commission of more than
$4,000. Now. this figure is consider
able item in itself. but the significance
of it is really in the fact that it is typi-
cal of other contracts for machinery into
which the Commission will be compelled
OF enter. If the Secretary of War and
the canal commissioners have their way
the American competitor for these con-
tracts will obtain exact justice and moth
ing more. In other words, if his price
is lower than. or even eual to. htat of
his foreign rival he will secure the award.
Otherwise not
1t is. of course. within the power of
Congress to make what regulation it
pleases regarding purchases. 1t may or
der the Commission to buy only in this
country. in which case the Commission
will be at the mercy of protected manu-
faeturers. who may. by agreement
among themselves, exacf almost any price
as an alternative to the suspension of
work through the failure of the Commits
sion 10 obtain materials with which to
dig. If this be the conclusion of Con-
gress it should find expression in a sepa-
rate bin and not a a section in any gem
eral measure. A separate bill will re-
cord without confusion in The public
mind the opinion of Congress on ques-
tion materially affecting the whole cost
of the canal. Also. it will enable the
President to interpcse veto if he sees
fit. which he would hardly undertake to
do if the prohibition against foreign inn
poFtations We're but one feature of gen
Srdt ul-l. Inc same 1Ssue was raised
last year by Secretary Taft. and was not
then discussed or determined by Con
gress 1t ma be that neither discussion
nor determination will occur in Congress
now. But We are inclined TO suspect
htat the prospect of American money
going into foreign pockets even though
the result be the advantage of the
American people, viii arouse some ''in-
teresfsy to which no Republican, Con
gress was ever known 10 be uilistsppeetiye.

WHY HAIR TURNS CRAY.
Various Theories Accounting for the Sudden or Gradual
 Change.

The color of the hair depends on lit- tie granules, which can be seen If the
 hair be examined under a powerful
 microscope. Sometimes, says St. Nich- olas. the hair may become white in a
 night Brown-Sequard tells us that when he was 45 years old his beard turned white in two days. This took place when he was perfectly we'll and without any especial cause. Sometimes. however, sorrow or illness produces the change earlier in life than it would usually take place. AS to the cause, some have said that the hair becomes filled with small air-partieles which make it look gray; others have said that the outer part of the hair becomes altered SO that it is like ground glass and you cannot see the color. But a man by the name of MetchnIkof tells us that the real reason is because small bodies In the hair deyour the grains of coloring matter and move them to the root of the hair. Sometimes poisons fin disease. or some results of sorrow, bring about an effect upon these small migrating bodies IceIlsD. causing them to become active in the above fash lon. That Is said to be the reason why the hair grows gray.

GRACE AND DANCING.
Women Should Employ Means That Make for Supplsness and Ease
 of Movement.

Fancy dancing. under the direction of q master of the art, is sure and un- mistakable means of gaining repose. dignity, ease and grace of manner. says Mme. Qui Vive, in the Chicago Record Herald. It makes the muscles flexible, and in consequence the movements of the limbs are natural and spontaneous
 It brings the body to the normal con dition, so reducing flesh when there Is too much and increasing tissue when there is not enough.
 Dancing Is as old as the human race The little child dances by instinct, as a kitten rolls and jumps about in play. The Spartans had law obliging par ents to exercise their children in dan. cling from the age of five. The Greeks made the art of dancing into system

THAT ONE WEAK SPOT.

Kidney sickness robs the back of all it's power and strength. It's hard to lift, to stoop or straighten, and even to get up from a chair.
 This indescribable weakness of the back, the endless dull aching that goes with it, are never-failing symptoms of kidney complaint. A bad back is Ma lures signal of distress. a call for help from the kidneys. The aching tells of Dangerous congestion that robs the Kidneys of their blood Altering power, or painful, wasting inflammation. There is immediate need for Deans Kidney Pills, to relieve the pain and heal the diseased kidneys. to ward on more fatal and painful disorders.
 Healthy kidneys keep you well by keeping the blood pure. Sick kidneys keep you sick by failing to purify the blood. This is the cause of many forms of rheumatism, neuralgia and gout: of such nervous troubles as headache. irritability. dizzy spells, de pression: of pafpitation of the heart. stomach troubles, liver complaint: of la grippe. colds. chills: of half the aches and Ills of humanity.
 Learn to keep the Kidneys we'll. Deans Kidney Pills will do it for you. Grateful residents of this city testify. Their statements prove 1t to you.

expressive of sentiments, and the most eminent Greek sculptures studied the attitudes of the public dancers as aids to their work. Aristotle places dancing on the same plane as poetry, and says in his Poetics that there are dancers who, by rythm applied to gesture, ex- press thought, manners, action and life.
 To return to more modern matters.
 Awkwardness is an unnatural physi- cal condition, the same as crossed eyes or any other disfiguring defect, and the individual who is afflicted should give this matter the same attention that she would give to an illness. Grace is not only beautiful but 1t is health-giving. That woman who holds her head and back properly is seldom a victim Of spinal, trouble, while the erect chest is an absolute safeguard against diseases of the lungs.
 An easy, natural carriage gives strength and endurance. The woman who is bent and stopped tires easily. for her bones and muscles are not working at best advantage.

'FRsUlHL 7 RULES FOR TIE EYES agl 2
Do Not Get the Attention They Should, Although Contribute
 So Largely to Beauty.

Although the eyes contribute more than almost any other feature to per. sonal beauty, they get surprisingly little attention from the majority of persons. Here are a few simple rules for preserving their strength and brightness:
 Do not read by flrelight. When pos sible protect the eyes from the direct glare of lamp. gas and candlelight. Do not read or work in such a dim light that an effort is necessary to see clearly. If the eyes are tender, wear smoked or tinted glasses. Never ap- ply soap near the eyes. Bathe them once daily, the lids being open, in tepid water. It is best to use an eye bath or egg cup. and to open and close the lids in the water. Do not apply any face cream near the eyes. Put on the lashes but the best of oil. Never cut the flashes in the belief that they will be im- proved. Keep in mind that white cliffs. stretches of sand and of snow are injurious. and must be guarded against with glasses.

 strongly to be repfobated. During tho four and half years;that Ihave been

 stance whore the government has in-
 voked the right of injunction against } combination of laborers. We have Invoked 1t certainly a score of times

 Nov, come to the general subject of your petition. I wish in the first place to state my regret that you did not divorce 50 much of the petition as refers to the action of the executive from 90 much as refers to the action of the legislative branch, because |. cannot consider any petition that you make that reflects upon the coordinate branch of the government or that makes any charges whatever against 1t. I would not even receive it save for the fact that in part 1t affects the executive.
 Tn what have to say shall limit myself solely to what you assert in reference to the acts of the executive.
 You speak of the eight hour law. Your criticism, so far as it relates to the executive, bears upon the sigma ture of the appropriation bill contain ing the money for expenditure on the Panama canal with the proviso that the eight hour law shall not there ap- ply. If your statement is intended to mean that no opportunity was. given for hearing before me, then the state- msnt is not in accordance with the facts.
 T believe emphatically in the eight hour law for our own people in our own country, but the conditions of la bor, such as we have to work with in the tropics, are so absolutely different that there is no possible analogy be- tween them, and an eight hour law for the Panama canal is an absurdity"

PRESIDENT ON LABOR
American Federation Men at
 White House.
SCORES REFLECTIONS ON CONGRESS-
In Accord on Immigration and Chi- nese Exclusion, but Eight Hour Day For Panama Canal Work
 Was Absurd.

WASHINGTON, March p. - Presi.
 dent Roosevelt received large body
 of the representatives of organized la
 bor at the White House and talked to
 them about their urgent request for
 the enactment of labor measures now
 pending before congress.
 Samuel Gompers, president, and Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, head ed the delegation, which consisted of about hundred members of the exec utive council of the American Fedora tion of Labor and officials of the or ganizations which comprise the feder- ation. Practically all of the important labor organizations of the country were represented in the delegation.
 Secretary Morrison read to the presi- dent memorial of the executive coun- ell of the American federation urging action on the various demands for leg. islation being made by the organized labor interests of the country.
 The memorial dwelt particularly on the eight hour law and its enforcement on government work, including the Panama canal, and the immigration laws. especially the Chinese exclusion laws.
 President Gompers and James Dun can of Quincy, Mass, first vice presi- dent of the federation and president of the Granite Cutters union, followed with brief addresses on the lines of the memorial.
 President Roosevelt after listening to the statements replied in an ad- dress.
 On the subjects of general immigra- tion and the exclusion of Chinese labor the president indicated that he was in practical accord with them, but on some other matters he differed from them radically.
 The president said in part:
 '"If your body objects to the passage of the proposed anti-injunction bill I have no question that you can stop 1t, for there is not capitalist concerned who simply as capitalist is not against t, though I believe that goodly num- Der both of capitalists and wage work DTS who, are concerned primarily as cit zens favor it.
 T do not believe it has any chance ,f passing because there has been great criticism in both houses of congress against the attitude of the administra- ion in going so far as we have gone, md if you think 1t is not far enough, why, you will have no earthly difficult y in killing the bill. Personally I hink the proposed law a most admira- 'le one, and very sincerely wish it would be put through.
 "As for the right of injunction, it is lbsolutely necessary to have this pow. IT lodged in the courts, though of
