Gerry department. This means that the
firm cannot compete at its. own prices
with reputable dealers without adult
Grating its goods. It means that with
the prohibition adu1terants would be

that the state food commissions are
absolutely no avail so far as the pre-
vention of adulterated goods by for
eign catalog houses is concerned.

task Of converting the Panama railroad,
which was a decripit single-track road,
twenty-five years behind the times in
personnel and equipment and without
terminal yards or docks, into a double
track road with modern personnel and
equipment, terminal and switching yards
that would be credit to any railway

modern hosting and unloading appar-

mate VIZ have had since the LIST of
March, 1906, an average of 800 Spanish
laborers on the rolls and Of them only
one has died from disease They have
malaria in about the same degree as the
white Americans, butt not at all to the.
extent that the negroes have it, and
there has not been a single case of
yellow fever among them Their general
condition is about jas good as it was in
their homes in Spain, and they stand
the climate very much better than the
negroes.
During the three and or1e-haTf months
at the height 8of the rainy season, sup-
posed TO be the most sickly, among 6, 900
Americans, including 4 200 women and
children no death occurred from dis
ease. During October, among $500
white employees Of all nationaIities, there
were but 2 deaths from disease, as
against sc deaths from disease among
the negroes. If the negro employees. had
possessed the power to resist disease as
Iefectually as the, white employees did,
there would have been but 6 deaths in
stead Of 86 among them.
In view of these statistics down to
October 81, and of the gradual decrease
in both sickness and death rates among
all classes of employees, we. feel justified
in announcing to the world our belief
that we are now in a position to invite
white labor in any quantity from the
States to assist in the construction Of
the canal, and at the same time to prom
