repeat that the work on the 1sthmus
has been done and Is being done admir-
ably. The organization Is good. The mis-
takes are extraordinarily few and these
few have been Of practically no conse-
quence. The zeal, intelligence and efficient
public service of the lsthmian Canal Com
mission and its subordinates have been
noteworthy. I court the fullest, most ex-
haustive and most searching investigation
of any act of theirs and If any one OF
them is ever shown TO have done wrong
his punishment shall be exemplary. But
ask that they be decently paid and
that their hands be upheld as long M

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is
only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms OF kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they lead to diabetes or
Bright's disease. The best best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Owosso people testi-
fy to permanent cures.

Catalina Seed.

The crop of Catalpa sneciosa seed
for 1905 was very short, many of the
best trees having no seed whatever.
Tho cause of this situation. which is
the same TO less extent every year, is
that at the blossoming period for Ca

bees and other insects have not yet
become active, aEd the flowers fail to
become polleniZed. while two weeks
later. when the inferior varieties open,
tho insects are abundant, ana pollen is

for tie present According to author

does not see the necessity at the pr s.
