 "The chief engineer and all his pro- fessiOnal associates are firmly con vinced that the S5 feet level lock ca nal which they are constructing Is the best that could be desired. Some of them had doubts pl this point when they went to the Isthmus. As the plans have developed under their di- rectlon their doubts have been dispell- ed. While they may decide upon changes in detail as construc tion ad- vances they are in hearty accord in approving the general plan.

 Postal SavingsBank.
 T commend to the favorable con- sideration of the Congress a postal savings bank system. as recommended by the Postmaster General The primary object is to encourage among our people economy and thrift and by the use of postal savings banks to give them an opportunity to husband their resources. particularly those who have not the facilities at hand for deposit ing their money in savings banks. Viewed. however. from the experience of the past few weeks, 1t is evident that the advantages of such an insti- tuition are still more far-reaching. Timid depositors have withdrawn their savings for the time being from ma tional banks. trust companies. and savings banks individuals have hoard ed their cash and the Workingmen their earnings all of which money has been withheld and kept in hiding or in the safe deposit box to the detriment of prosperity. Through the agency of the postal savings banks such money would be restored to the channels of trade. to the mutual benefit of capital and labor
 Il further commend to the Congress the consideration of the Postmaster Generals recommendation for all ex- tension of the parcels post. especially on the rural routes. There are now 3s.215 rural routes. serving nearly 15.- 900, ,0OO people who do not have the ad- vantages of the inhabitants of cities in obtaining their supplies. These recommendations have been drawn up tO benefit the farmer and the country storekeeper: otherwise. I should not favor them. for I believe that it is good policy for our Government to do

stand atthck from the tubercular germ.
 A simple mixture of well-known in- gredients Is said to he most effective in breaking mp a cold. Two ounces of glycerine, a half ounce of the Virgin oil of Pine and eight ounces of whis- ky, thoroughly mixed and taken in teaspoonful doses every four hours will cure any cough that is curable. It has also been found that five ounces of tincture of Cinchona compound can be used in place of the whisky, with equal results.
 To guard against substitution of in ferior pine products. il is better to pur- chase the ingredients separately and mix them at home. The genuine Nir- gin oil of Pine is prepared only by Leach Chemical Co. Cincinnati. O.. and put up by them for dispensing, onsy in half ounce vials each securely sealed in round wooden case.

Dr. T. q. Roddick. of Montreal. ex- president of the British Medical As- sociatiOn. has been credited with the statement that within 25 years. proyid- ing adequate measures for its ellmina- ton are adopted, a case of consump- tion will be a curiosity.
 When one considers that today the mortality from tubercular diseases puts consumption at the head of the death list. Dr. Roddick's prophecy seems unduly sanguine. So much is being accomplished. however. in the warfare waged against the scourge. that it is not only possible. but prob- able.
 An essential warning is that against neglect of an incipient cough. A cough in itself is not necessarily dam gerous. but its action upon the respir- atory organs is irritating. and leaves the lungs sore and less able to with

 When the Department of Agricul- ture was founded there was much sneering as to its usefulness. No De- partment of the Government however. has more enDhatically vindicated it's usefulness, and none save the Post office Department comes so continual lv and intimately into touch with the people. The two citizens whose well fare is in the aggregate most vital to the welfare Of the Nation. and there fore to the welfare of all other citi- zens. are the wage-worker who does manual labor and the tiller of the soil. the fermer. There are. of course, kinds ot labor where the work must be purely mental, and there are other kinds Of labor where, under existing conditions very little demand indeed is made upon the mind. though I am glad 10 say that the proportion of men engaged in this kind of work Is dimin- ishing. But in any community with the solid. healthy qualities which make up really great nation the bulk of the people should do work which calls fer the exercise of both body and mind Progress can not permanently exist in the abandonment of physical labor. but in the development Of physical labor,

dicate an indifference hard to recon
Gle In a woman.
The visit to the undertaking sstab-
lishment, the frequent talks with her
charge on the subject of suicide and
the knowledge conveyed that the gun
was within reach, what do all these
facts indicate but an attitude that
boded only i'll to Laura Mathews.
Formal complaint has been made
against Miss Green charging her with
conspiracy in assisting Miss Mathews
to commit suicide.
But while according to such ele-
ments of probability to the sinister
part taken in the affair of Miss Green,
the authorities are not overlooking the
possibility of murder by Rumbaugh,
followed by his suicide.
Rumbaugh was insanely Jealous OF
Laura Mathews. He was constantly
In her company and he knew her frame
of mind toward himself and Coey.
Several witnesses are at hand who
heard Rumbaugh make threats against
Laura Mathews. To other persons the
girls expressed her fear of the Pitts
burg man, whom she believed intended
to kill her. Finally Rumbaugh put an
end to his own existence and the mo-
tive is held to be fear of consequences
to himself after a thorough investiga-
tion Of the facts surrounding the death
of Laura Mathews.
Rumbaugh's actions while in Colo
RADIO Springs were such as to make
him the subject of suspicion. He pur-
sued rather fast existence, lived un-
der an alias at one hotel and made a
series of conflicting statements after
the death of Laura Mathews was dis
covered.
1t can well be believed that his af-
fairs in the East caused him great
deal of worry. He was well connected
and desertion of his wife unquestion-
ably preyed upon his mind.
That there was an agreement be.
tween him and Laura Mathews that
they should both put an end to exist
ence is not entertained with any dc.
gree of seriousness, although the sui.
eide pact is suggested as one Of the
vain theories upon which an under
standing of the mystery can be based.

Lived to See Father.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-Because he was
determined TO see his father before he
died, w. Frank Simonton of Upper
Sandusky, Ohio, lived four days after
the time when all precedent and reason
said he should have died. Simonton
was operated on for appendicitis here
last week, the operation revealing a
hopeless condition.
Last Thursday, when it was thought
at the hospital that the death of the
patient was the matter of an hour or
so, Simonton realized his condition
and requested that his father, in Upper
Sandusky. be sent for, stating his de-
Termination to live until he had seen
and talked with the old man. There
was not the slightest probability that
Simonton would live out the day, but
his wish was complied with.
Then the sick man began an aston
ishing battle against death, retaining
full possession of his faculties when he
should have been unconscious, and liv-
ing when to retain the spark of life
seemed an impossibility.
By sheer force of will he won, for he
vas still alive and conscious when his
father arrived in the city. After pa
thetic meeting between father and son
young Simonton resigned himself to
the inevitable and two hours later was
dead. His body was shipped to Upper
Sandusky, accompanied by the father

Widow Is Being Held.

New York.-Mrs. Jane Wheeler, a
widow of Birmingham, England, who
has been twice married, arrived at
Ellis island on July 10th. aboard the
Cunarder Carmania, with her two lit
t.e boys, one blind in one eye. She
herself is lame. The local immigration
authorities barred her and tho young
sters.
Her son by her first marriage.
Thomas Leek, a prosperous farmer OF
Aurora, Colorado, whittier she was
bound, appealed to Washington. Mayor
Edward G. Smith of Aurora and all
the town officials decided that If they
were anything like Leek they would
be desirable accessions to Aurora.
Mayor Smith appealed to Acting
Governor Harper of Colorado. who
started things moving in Washington.
Commissioner Watchorn was notified
that he might admit Mrs. Wheeler un-
der $1,000 bond. and he did SO. Mrs.
Wheeler and her boys are on their
way to Aurora.

Use Money Before Available.

Denver.-Dr E. G. Hill. the chemist,
State Board of Health in its investiga-
tions under the pure food law, will
now be able to cash his voucher for
$40 which was turned down a short
time ago by State Auditor Statler.
The attorney generals Office has an
nounced an opinion which allows some
of the money appropriated by the last
Legislature to be used before the new
law goes into effect, but not all of 1t.
DIR. Hills voucher is legitimate ex-
pense that comes under the money the
attorney generals office says can be
used this year, and 1t will be honored
by the state auditor within a day or
two.
The opinion was written by Horace
Phelps. 1t holds that out of the $4,000
the Legislature allowed for the prose-
cution of the pure food work in 1907.
the only items that can be legally
available are the 5000 for travelling ex-
penses, 81 900 salary for chemist. 5000
for clerk and $500 for laboratory ex-
penses.
In addition to these amounts the
Legislature allowed $4,000, which it
was the intention of the board Of
health to apply to paying the salary
of an inspector, thus beginning the
work six months ahead of time. Phelps
says ne is in doubt as to whether this
appropriation can be thus applied, and
asks time to make further investiga-
ton.
The use of the $4,000 will enable the
State Board of Health to do consider
able preliminary work, but it is likely
that nothing will be done toward the
appointment of an inspector until the
law goes into effect, January, 1908.

Arches Collapse on Erie Canal.

Syracuse, N. Y.-The stone arches
which support the bed of the Erie ca
nal at a point near the center of this
city, where it passes over Onondaga
creek, gave way and four canal boats
were drawn into the bed of the creek
beneath. Fifty feet of the wall of the
three-story Empire Touring mill fell
into the water and the Bartels and
Greenway breweries, respectively on
the north and south banks of the ca
nal, were threatened with demolition.
No one was hurt.
All canal traffic is tied up. and 1t
will be several days at least before
the damage can be repaired. The
boats and cargoes are total losses.

A Good Suggestion.

Often and often you have stood by
the kitchen table laboriously trying to
clean the silk from green corn. OF
course, you know just how difficult
this can be at times. especially when
the silk is deeply imbedded. Have a
small brush for this purpose-the
vegetable brush will do-and you will
be delighted in finding how much
more quickly you can accomplish the
work. Another good suggestion is to
use the scissors to snip" beans
which are free from strings. The work
is done more rapidly than when one
takes the time to tediously perform
the work by hand.

TABLE DELICACIES
DAINTY DISHES SUITABLE FOR
ALL OCCASIONS.
Something New in the Line of Break
fast Preparations-A Quick Des-
sert-Preparation of Rib
bon Sandwiches.

. Dainty Breakfast Dsh.-Equal parts
of toast crumbs, chopped boiled ham,
and small piece of butter. Put in
'buttered muffin rings and break an
egg on top. Place in oven until egg
is just the right consistency. Slip a
pancake turner under them and re-
move to a warm platter, then gently
run knife around the ring, removing
it and leaving your muffin shaped
dainty. This may be garnished with
crisp pieces of bacon.
Quick Dessert.-Beat the whites of
four eggs, add four tablespoons sugar.
four of cocoa. Bake in pudding dish
in moderate oven about 15 minutes.
Serve at once with whipped cream.
Raspberry Ice.-Three tablespoon
fuls of sugar, one cupful of raspber-
ries, one-third cupful water, one tea
spoonful of lemon juice. Sprinkle
raspberries with sugar. cover, and let
stand one hour; then mash and
out as much juice as possible. Add
lemon Juice and freeze.
Juicy Roast.-Heat some beef fat in
an iron pan or broad kettle. Put the
meat into it and with fork stuck in
the fat part turn until it is a fine
brown on all sides. This is done to
keep in the juices. Put into a hot
oven elevated from the bottom. Now
in five minutes you will find the top
dried, which will make it necessary to
dir the hot fat from the pan over the
top of the meat. Repeat every few
minutes. Add no water to the pan.
When half done add salt and pepper,
as it will tougher if seasoned before.
Vegetable Soup for Hay Stove.-
Clean soup bone and put in large hay
stove bucket; add water, salt and pep
per to taste; two carrots chopped fine;
one good sized onion; two bay leaves;
six allspice berries; one-quarter cup
of rice. Cook one-half hour on fire.
Then remove to hay stove and leave
ten hours.
Ribbon Sandwiches.-Ribbon sand
wiches are pretty on the plate. Rye
bread and white bread in alternating
layers, with cream cheese between, or
Boston brown bread and white bread,
ribbon effect. Another idea requires
three square, thin slices of white
bread and two corresponding slices of
whole-wheat bread. Butter a slice of
white bread and cover it with a fill
Ing made of egg paste, then put upon
1t slice of whole-wheat bread and
butter that and cover with egg paste.
On top of that place another slice of
white bread and repeat the operation
with white bread and whole-wheat
bread, alternating until you have used
all your five slices.
