current in one direction of two and
siX-tenths miles an hour. venture
to say that no large ship, occupying
as large ships will, forty per cent OF
the prism through which it will pass
can navigate at that speed with that
current, safely, under its own
steam.
The lock canal, on the other hand,
as recommended by the minority OF
the consulting board, and Endorsed by
our commission. will have thirty-fve
miles Of free lake navigation, so that
the difference in time of putting
large ships through the locks will be
more than Offset by their speed
through the lake portion of their trip,
which is more than twOthirds of the
entire length of the canal.
In regard to the capacity, no man
can estimate with any degree of &C
curacy the volume of tonnage which
will 90 through the Panama Canal
The only guide we can have is the
traffic of the SueZ Canal Taking the
development Of the traffic in the Suez
during the thirty1ive years Of its ex-
istence as q basis, and continuing
the same ratio of increase until the
year 1000, the volume of traffic pass
ing through that canal will be in that
year, in round numbers, 42,500, 900
tons; or, estimating that the Panama
Canal, if constructed on the plans
which this commission has recon-
mended, will be open for traffic in
1916, and estimating that the volume
Of traffic passing through it the first
year will amount to 100000 tons
(Which is the best guess that experts
have been able 10 make), and apply
ing the same ratio of increase to that
traffic which experience has shown
to have developed in the Suez, the
volume in the year 1000 will have
reached 32.500,0OO tons. The estl-
mated capacity of the lock canal, as
recommended by our commission, is
5O,0O0,0O0 tons per annum. Unless
the development of the population of
the world changes the basis Of our
estimates, the type Of canal we rec
Ommend will be adequate for all
business that may be thrown upon it
during the next one hundred years.

Is Disease a Crime +?

Not very long ago, a popular magazine
published an editorial article In which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain II Is, that much Of the sickness
and suffering OF mankind is due TO the
violation Of certain OF Natures laws.
But 70 say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal TO
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
It would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal, TO condemn the poor,
weak, over-worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load OF household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
nesses, various displacements Of pelvic
organs and other arrangements peculiar

Frequent bearing OF children. with its ex-
acting demands upon the system, coupled
with the care, worry and labor OF rearing a
large family. Is often the cause OF weak
nesses, arrangements and debility which are
aggravated by the many household cares,
ana the hard, and never-ending work which
the mother is called upon 70 perform DIR.
Pierce. the maker OF that world-famed REM

ills-Dr. Plerce's Favorite Prescription-says
that one OF the greatest obstacles to the cure
