athlete who every morning swan the
Tiber three times.

TERRIBLE ITCHING.
Eczema Affected Whole System-Un-

fered 4 Years-Cuticura Cures.

81 suffered severely for four years from
poison oak and ivy. My condition was
serious, as : could not rest night or day
and be free from a terrible itching sensa-
ton from scratching on my hands between
the fingers, my feet and face. | got the
best of advice and treatment from six diff
ferent doctors who were anxious to cure
me. One of the doctors told me that when
the poison was cured, eczema IA worse
diseased would follow, which became true.
My eyesight was affected, and | went to
a hospital especially for the eyes and got
relief, but eczema got a terrible hold on my
system. | was about to give up all hope of
ever being cured, yet could not be recon
ciled to such results, as my health had been
good and free from any disease all my life.
My age is seventy-three years. In nv ex.
tremity | happened to read of Cuticura
Remedies for skin diseases. | was anxious
about my condition and desired to evade
any spurious imitation. This was N July,
1905, and | called on a certain druggist
for the Cuticura Remedies. | bought fv
boxes Cuticura Ointment, also some Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Pills as | required
them. In four weeks treatment my face
was smooth, and the itching gradually
left my hands and feet and | could rest
comfortably, for which | am grateful and
happy. w. Field Cowen, Justice of the

ARMY TO DIG THE CANAL
President Places Work Under
Government Engineer Officers.
Contractors Bids Rejected; Stevens
Resigns and Major Goethals
Takes Hold.

Washington, D. C.-The Panama
Canal will be built by army engi-
neers; all of the bids submitted by
private contractors have been reject
ed; Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky,
will, after leaving the Senate on
March 4, be appointed a member of
the Canal Commission; John F. Ste
vens, chief engineer of the Panama
Canal, has resigned, and his resigna-
ton has been accepted.
These facts were announced at the
White House, after a most exhaus-
tive inquiry into the merits of the pri-
vate contract system, and after am
pie opportunity had been afforded to
all the interested contractors to dem
onstrate their ability to undertake a
task of the magnitude which the en-
terprise on the isthmus is certain to
aSSume.
Chief Engineer Stevens, who has
carried on the work with brilliant
success during the last eighteen
months, and who heartily concurs
with the President in the belief that
I'll bids should be rejected for the
lCoI u CoIo VI IlC 0OfCl AIiC1I, Will
be succeeded as chief engineer by
Major George w. Goethals, an army
engineer of great experience and ex-
ecutive ability. Major Goethals will
start for the canal zone Immediately,
to take from Mr.. Stevens the COM
mand of the work. Major Goethals
will be clothed with all the powers
now in the hands of Chairman Shonts
and Chief Engineer Stevens, and
should he at any time in the future
become incapacitated for the work or
leave the enterprise, he will be sue
teeded by other army engineers, two
Of whom are designated by the Presi-
dent to go to the isthmus with him,
and who with him will also become
members of the reorganized Canal
Commission.
Nearly all of these interesting facts
were made public at the White House,
and most of them were found in the
text of a letter the President wrote to
the chairman of the Isthmian Canal
Commission.

A correspondent relates the follow

himself near North Berwick on the

driving home in my sleigh I stopped
to speak to some friends, when a
robin came and perched on the whip
shaft, which my coachman was hold
ing in a slanting position not more
than a foot or two from my face. Rob-
in sat looking earnestly at me with
his beady black eyes with the most
perfect confidence for nearly half a
minute, and did not mind the talking
or the holding out of my, alas, empty
hands. All birds, and especially the
robin, are very fearless in this wealth

complete fearlessness of man.

A Bar of Iron That Grew.

The Franklin Institute, of Phila-

medal to a metallurgist for demon
strating the phenomenon that a bar
of iron will grow, by simply heating
and cooling.
The experimenter took a bar OF
iron of known size and weight, and
repeatedly heated it to it's critical
temperature, which vas 735 degrees
Fahrenheit, and cooled it with the
result that the size increased by the
extraordinary amount of forty-five
per cent.
The appearance of the metal and
the texture did not alter during the
expansion process, and the weight, of
course, remained the same.-Detroit

Mysterious Robbery in Chicago
Being Investigated.
EVERY EMPL0YE UNDER FIRE
All Clerks Rigidly Examined, But
Deny Amy knowledge of the
Robbery-Money Taken Was in
Bills of Large Denominations.

Chicago.-The sum of $173,0O0
was stolen from the United States
Sub-Treasury, and the Secret Service
agents of the Government at Chicago
and Washington still have no clue
to the thieves.
No mar is missing from his post,
the books of the institution are in
perfect shape, no locks have been
forced or wagons have been robbed.
The money simply has disappeared.
Secretary Shaw, of the Treasury
Department, was told of the theft
when in Chicago, and was in confer
ence with Su~b-Treasurer Boldenweck
and Secret Service officers.
All the money taken was in large
bills, bills of the denomination of
$1,000, $4,000 and $4,000.
At first it was believed that there
must be some error in the bookkeep-
ing. 1t was thought to be impossi-
BILE that such a large sum of money
could have been distracted in the
face of all the safeguards thrown
around Uncle Sans strong box.
The ledger men involved siren
uously denied any error and an inves-
tigation showed there was no possible
clerical mistake to account for the
disappearance of the cash.
This brought the inevitable con-
clusion that robbery was the only ex-
PLANTATION.
Every man who could have had
anything to do with the case was
called into Treasurer Boldenweck's
office and put through an exhaustive
examination and a still more rigid
cross-examination. Captain Porter,
Of the Secret Service, assisted in the
lnquisition.
They stood the ordeal, every one
Of them. All denied any knowledge
Of the theft and protested their in
nocence with unanimity and vocifer-
usness.
Sub-Treasurer Boldenweck is fran
tic over the theft. He and his bonds
men,, who have been notified, are
legally liable to the Government for
the amount stolen, but Uncle Sam
rarely exacts his pound of flesh when
the head of an Office in which a de-
~falcation occurs is not personally to
blame. A bill for the relief of the
officer is introduced in Congress, with
the sanction of the department af-
fected, and the Government charges
the amount to profit and loss.
The Chicago Sub-Treasury handles
in the curse of a year something
like 100000 900 in various forms of
currency. From $4,000 900 to $780,
100000 is in the vault every day of
the year. Through the exchange of
n form of currency for another by
Western banks the money used in the
West goes through the Chicago Sub
Treasury.
William Boldenweck was appointed
Sub-Treasurer on June rs last. He
succeeded William P. Williams.

Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Pc.
tuna when we claim it to be an effec.
tive remedy for chronic catarfh?
Have we abundant proof that Peruna
IS in reality such a catarrh remedy?
Let us sec what the United States Dis
pensatory says of the principal in
gradients of Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or gCeden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, hat it is large
iy employed in the treatment of de-
PRAYED mucous membranes, chronic
rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atomic dys-
pepsia (catarrh Of the stomach),
chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal
jaundice (catarrh of the liver), and
in diseased mucous membranes of the
for the treatment of various forms of
diseases peculiar to women
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formOsa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as a stomachic and
as a tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient
of Peruna, an excellent drug hat has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States DispensatOry says of the action
of cedron that it is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dyson.
terry, and in intermittent diseases as a
substitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States DispensatOry as a mild stimu-
liant and diuretic. 1t acts on the stOm-
ach and intestinal tract. 1t acts as a
stimulant Or the genito-urinary men,
