Another Canal Project.

Another caanl project is to be men
tloned. Germany In the Keil channel
has waterway by which she can
,shift her warships from the North sea
ito the Baltic or vice versa at will, and
she Is also developing her interior sys-
item, showing she is giving attention
TO the needs of peace and commerce
rs well as those Of war and national
defense. High officials in England
have suggested the ACCESSIBILITY OF
constructing a canal from the Clyde
to the Forth for the use of battleships.
1t appears, says Troy Times, there Is
q feasible channel of about 80 miles,
and all that is needed Is dredging the
bottom, which is of soft sand. 1t Is
asserted that the canal can be so coz
trived that the tides will scOur 1t and
thus prevent it from being filled up
again, wherein a great advantage Will
be scored over many other similar
canals, including the Suez, where
there has to be constant fighting to
maintain proper depth of water
What England will do is not an
nounced. but this multiplicity of canal
undertakings must impress the OBJ
server. The United States is In the
lead in such matters, and 1t is typical
of its spirit that all OF the works now
under way are intended primarily for
purposes of peace and to facilitate
commerce.

The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine Dusi-
ness 10 the natural outgrowth Of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history Of this country
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, Iaxstives and tonics, were to BE-
found in almost every house, compound
cd by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the spothecary OF the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
sloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
Of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more Of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
+ The patent medicine business Is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, inn
pressed by the usefulness Of one q
these homemade remedies, would take
1t up, improve It in many ways, manu-
facture 1t on a large scale, advertise II
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus 1t would become used over 4
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE

opportunity to plead with Thaw's attor-
neys. AT his request, therefore, Justice
Fitzgerald ordered all talesmen who
have not yet been examined to be in
court Monday morning ready for jury
service in case any are needed. Mr..
Jerome then announced that If there
should be no change in the situation In
the meantime the state would proceed
to place all it's direct testimony before
the jury at the Monday morning ses-
sion. The defense was notified to be in
readiness to proceed by Monday after
noon.
I'VE are entirely satisfied with the

added the intimation that he would not
consent to any further alterations of
the personnel.

coed the minute the prosecution has
finished it's case" declared John b.
Gleason. another of Thaw's attorneys.
Asst. Dist. Atty. Caravan will make
tho openind address for the prosecu-
ton. His remarks will be brief The
state will then introduce such witnesses
as are necessary to prove that Stanford
White was shot and killed by Harry X.
Thaw on the Madison Square roof gar
den the night OF June 90 last. In an
nouncing that the introduction Will not
require more IMAM one session or the
court Mr.. Jerome is evidently of the
opinion that the cross-examination of
the states witnesses as to the actual
events associated with the tragedy may
not be very extensive.
From the questions which have so
persistently been put to the talesmen
by Thaw's attorneys as to any prejudice
against the defense of insanity, IL IL
at last generally conceded that plea
OF emotional insanity Will be the main
reliance Of the young defendant. This
probably will lead to n cross-questiCn-
ing of the states witnesses as to any
popularity they may have noted
| in Thaws conduct the night of the
tragedy In which event the conclusion
of the states direct testimony may take
longer than is now anticipated.
Thaw seemed to be In the best OF
spirits as the last Juror was sworn.
Forty talesmen had been examined
| In vain during the day, when Bernard
| Gerstman declared he had no such
| opinion In the case that could prevent
his rendering fair and conscientious
| verdict, and he was not pretudiced
against any line of defense, and would

give the prisoner the benefit of every

But" suggested Dist. Atty. Jerome
would you go further than that and
require the state to remove every
possibility of doubt?"
Il would certainly want every doubt
removed replied Gerstman, before
/ would vote to convict in a capital
case"
The district attorney challenged the
Juror for cause.
Thaw's attorneys were not content
to let the talesman go, and on cross
examination they brought his answers
within the legal requirements, Mr..
Gerstman replying to Mr.. Hartridge
that he meant by doubt" any doubt
that a reasonable man might enter
tain.

competent answer and overruled Dist.

Rumors were in circulation today
that one and possibly two more jurors

Until the excitement attending the
completion of the panel late in the
afternoon there had been but one in
cident of note in the courtroom. This
was sensational move by Asst. Dist.
Atty. Caravan, who today continued to
inquire OF the talesmen If they had
been approached or spoken to about
the case in any way since being sum-
moned as possible jurors. One of the
talesmen at the afternoon session adj
mitted that he had spoken with sew
eral persons who sat near him In the

acquainted with them.

Then for the first time since the

True Cause of Disease,

IN these days almost every ailment is
L supposed to be caused by disease
germs.
The medical profession as well ms the
people, seem 10 have gone mad over the
germ theory of disease.
Tho universal fear and dread of dis
ease germs Is becoming a very serious
matter TO the welfare and happiness of
the people.
DR.. Hartman has consistently con-
tended through all the rise and spread
of the germ theory, that most diseases
are caused by climatic influences.
For instance, catching cold is respon'
sible for more than one-half of the ills
10 which human beings are subject.
Danger of Neglected Colds.
A person catches cold easily, thinks
nothing about it, negiecfs II, when it
finally becomes settled in some organ
of the body, and chronic disease is the
result.
A few doses of Peruna in the begin
ming of the cold would have saved
months of suffering, as well as great ex-
pense for treatment.
Peruna Is reliable relief for cold.
| Almost every body knows this.
Instead of trying to dislodge or kin
some imaginary germ, il Peruna was
used at the proper time it's tonic proper
| tiles and nti-catarrhal qualities would
soon convince the patient that he has
! found the right remedy.
| A multitude of letters are received
testifying to this fact.
Keep Peruna in the house. Use it
whenever cold or climatic affections as
sail, and sickness in the household will
| become greatly lessened, II not entirely
prevented.
Catarrh Of the Stomach.
Mr.. Christian Holman, II. i. d. /,
Slatington, Pa, writes:
"For many years 1 suffered with ca
cafarrii of the stomach. was coughing
day and night. After having tried
three doctors and many remedies, one of

fcred with cafarrh this summer. ] am
cured and Peruna did it. / give Peruna
to my children when they feel bad and
you should see how healthy they are"
Nose, Throat and Stomach.
Mr.. Delbert b. Craft, Lowell, Ind,
writes:
"For a long time l suffered with
chronic caLarrh of The nose, throat and
stomach. | would continually take
cold and my stomach WINS in bad condi-
ton. truly suffered untold misery. /
