Habit-forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many
of the So-called patent medicines con
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some Journals OF more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been of great benefit in arouslng needed
attention to this subject, 1t has, in a
considerable measure, resulted III the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly Sus-
pncted of containing the I'M curious ingre-
dents complained of. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce. of Buffalo,
n. Y, "tooll time by the forelock," as 1t
were and published broadcast all the
ingredients of which his popular medi-
cineS are composed. Thus he has COM
plctely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-fOrming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegeta bic, extracted from the roots OF
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths of our American forests and OF
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases of diseases, becomes highly objec-
tionable from its tendency to produce a
craving for stimulants, DIR. Pierce EN-,

How to Confine Leghorns.

The usual method of keeping Leg
horns is to contine them in yards hay
ing fences about six feet high and with
reasonable yard room they will rarely
fly over, especially if there Is no post
top above the wire for the birds to
alight upon. Fowls almost never fly
directly over a fence, but fly up on to
the top of it and then fly down. TAX
ing advantage of this habit. 1t Is easy
above the fence posts with slim stakes
to support them. When a bird flies up
to light on the post top the wire pre-
vents, and the attempt is rarely re-
peated

Delaying PuIIets' Maturity.

You can keep pullets back from lay

another as soon as they show decided

who wants to get large size on his
Barred Rock pullets follows this plan
each season. with the result that he
holds them back an average of about
q month, he thinks, and when they do
begin to lay they lay larger eggs than

NEGRO labor
IS NOT WAN NTED
FOR THE CANAL

Panama, Dec. 1-International competi.
ton i'm labor, in the opinion OF President
Roosevelt and officials of the Panama
canal. is the solution Of the greatest OBJ
stace To rapid and successful completion
of the waterway.
President Roosevelt saw for himself the
inefficiency OF Jamaica. Barbados and
Martinique negroes as labor units. lie
saw the marked superiority OF the Span
ish laborer over the negro-an advantage
which fully compensates for the larger
wage received by the Spaniard. Contrac-
tors visiting the isthmus made IL known
TO the president, and he received the same
testimony from officials on the canal
work that Chinese labor is needed, and
badly needed. A few Italians are drifting
i'm and applying for positions. They are
we'll thought OF American negroes are
seldom found in the ranks OF the men be-
hind the shoVels.
The question Of utilizing Chinese labor
on the canal zone has been much agi-
tated President Roosevelt has never con-
sidered any objection adequate TO prevent
their employment The canal commission
issued bids for Chinese labor. and were
offered 2500 coolies to work nine hours
day for % cents, gold. The jamaican ne
gro gets this price. Contractors who have
experience with both declare the eff
cheney Of the Chinese is 100 per cent.
greater than that OF the jamaican in ac-
tual labor output. 70 say nothing OF the
fact that the Chinese better subsst them
selves. can better stand the climate and
are thoroughly tractable.
The Spaniard is becoming more OF
favorite as laborer here every day.
Some authorities rate his efficiency above
that OF the Chinese. Others declare the
Chinese has the advantage. But the
Spaniard receives just twice as much as
the Jamaican and the Chinese, or $3.50
gold a day.
White foremen directing the work Of
the 1000 Spaniards already at work report
ed TO President Roosevelt that the Span
lard was valuable not only because OF his
shovel output. but because Of his stead
fastness The jamaican must take a lei
surely survey OF the landscape about
every third shovelful. The Spaniard
keeps his eye on the work laid out for
him The same quality Is attributed to
the Chinese
II is deemed nexpedient to fl the
shovel and unskilled laboring force with
workmen OF one nationality. The bulk
now serving are Jamaicans. Some of
them are under contract for six months
or a year. Others hold no contract. Their
immediate bosses assert that under the
liberal labor policy OF the United States
they are more or less insolent I'm some

WATCH PROGRESS
OF TOLL BRIDGE
LEGISLATION

Concord, n. H.. Dec 1.-The bill before
the Vermont legislature based on the re-
Communications OF tho Vermont bridge
commission and designed TO secure the
freedom Of the present toll bridges over
the Connecticut river between Vermont and
New Hampshire is being watched with
great interest by the New Hampshire
towns bordering the river and also by the
New Hampshire bridge commissioners.
The New Hampshire bridge commission
has been making an investigation Jointly
with the Vermont commission for the last
two years.
According TO members of the New
Hampshire commission their report 20 the
state legislature will agree with that of
the Vermont commission in all points eX-
cept one and that very essential one.
The Vermont commission recommended
that the state OF Vermont and the towns
of that state bordering the river pay to-
gether one-third of the total cost OF buying
tho toll bridges and relmbursing certain
river towns for money paid hitherto in
fleeing toll bridges.
The New Hampshire board insists that
Vermont should assume as much OF the
expense as New Hampshire does. The
New Hampshire men contend that each
state should pay one-fourth the entire
expense and leave the other half 10 be
paid by the towns at opposite ends OF the
bridges.
