Member OF Congressional Commits
sion Tells of the Work.
Kansas City, Mo-, March so. -
Representative Charles F. Scott of
lola. Kas.. a member of the con-
gresslonal committee that has just
returned from a trip to the isthmus.
tonight told of the canal conditions
in an address at Kansas City. Kas.
He said In part:
80 far as the excavations are con-
eerned, the bulk of the work should
be done in six or seven years. Tho
construction OF the great dam at
Gatun and the building OF the stu
pendous locks probably will protract
the period of completion.
1.-THE men on the works. however,
really seem to believe that If ev-
erything goes right the canal should
be finished within seven years"

Heat Not Severe.

The heat on the isthmus is not Sc
we're except at noon. when it is OPP
pressive. In the evenings 1t is nee
|essary at times to sleep under blan-
kets. The rainy season lasts nine
months In the year, and some rain
falls every day in that period. How
ever, the actual operations of digging
the canal go on all the time, under
the adverse conditions. DR.. Reeder
expects to see the canal finished in
seven years. The dirt excayated Is
used in filing up swamps.
That extremes oI cnmatic condi-
tions have the same effect on the hui
man system, is proven in a compari-
son of the effects of drinking intovi-
cants in the tropical zones, and in the
arctic zones. It is suicide absolutely,
to drink alcoholic beverages in the
canal zone. Those laborers who do
drink, and they are now confined
mostly to the native laborers, are the
most susceptible to disease and the
death rate among them is appalling.
In his hospital experience DIR. Reeder
became convinced that health could
be retained in the zone only by rigid
purity OF life in every way. 1t is a
well-known fact that north-polar re.
gion explorers shun intoxicants as
their most deadly foe.
Altogether. DR.. Reeder thinks that
the canal zone has not been over
praised by the president and other
fair-minded observers. Most of the
bad reputation the canal has received,
has come from laborers and officers
who have been discharged and who
give as their excuse for returning.
the unhealthful conditions. Dr.
Reeder expects to be gone on this trip
for eight months, his stay to be de-
termined by his wife's health. After
that time, he expects TO return to Pa
ducah and engage in the practice of
medicine. 1t is probable that they
will see Europe before their return.

PROPER MANNER OF READING.

1t seems to me that with the multi.
plication of books wo alo losing all

wise If the seeds of wisdom were in
him. / do not know even wise man
whose instinct for wisdom would not
be deadened by the Reorganization Of
the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Books
should be taken in doses no bigger
than music or pictures; they are even
harder to digest. There is more
drunkenness In book than in all the
vineyards OF France. A book may re.
make q mans soul. Books should Ia
treated with reverence or cast out as
dirt. They are in danger of passing

Nothing is gained by reading a book
unless you give to that book more
than 1t brings to you. All these peo-
pie who read with their eyes only are
fatally wasting their time. A book

DR.. Williams Pink Pills are doctors

titioner, and for nearly q generation
known as reliable household remedy
throughout the United States. Need
less to say, no advertised medicine could

Invaluable curative properties of the pills
that have made them standard remedy
in every civilized country in the world.
Added to this is the absolute guarantee
that the pills contain no harmful drug,
opiate, narcotic or stiinulant. A recent
evidence of their efficacy is found in the
statement of Mrs. N. B. Whitley, of
Boxley, Ark, who says:
81 had suffered for good many years
from stomach trouble. For long time
was subject to bad spells of faintness
and lack of breath accompanied by an
indescribable feeling that seemed to
start in my stomach. Whenever / was
q little rundown or over-tired, these
spells would come on. They occurred
frequently but did not last very long.
81 was confined to my bed for ten
weeks one Time ana the doctor pro-
nounced my trouble chronic infamma-
ton of the stomach and bowels. Since
that time I have been subject to the
fainting spells and at other times to flut-
tering of the heart and feeling as
though was smothering. My general
health was very bad and I was weak and
trembling.
81 had seen DR.. Williams Pink Pills
mentioned in the newspapers and de-
cided to try them. When I began taking
the pills was SO rundown in strength
that I could hardly do any housework.

Both my husband and myself think DR..
Williams Pink Pills the best medicine
made and we always recommend the
pills to our friends.'

cured serious disorders of the blood and
