PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION
REPORTS RAPID PROGRESS

struction work, in any given district, ir-
respective of its character, would be
placed under one head, the necessary
authority having been received from
the Secretary of War for the transfer
of duties as between departments, re-
quired by executive order of Jan. 6,
1908. The reorganization was desira-
BILE because the work of the divisions
of building construction and munich
pal engineering had reached a stage
where the continuance of separate divi-
sions for handling the work was un-
warranted, and was facilitated by the
consent and approval of the chief sani-
tary officer 20 have the sanitary en-
gineering work hitherto performed by
his department done by the canal con-
struction forces in accordance with
plans and on data prescribed and fur
nished by the department of santa
ton.
"a further advantage sought by the
reorganization was the establishment
of more uniform wage scale, and to
secure it the organization was put on
an impersonal basis by fixing the posi-
tions needed to properly execute the
work and the salary that each position
should carry. To the positions thus
found necessary the available person
mel was fitted so far as possible.
ITO accomplish the objects sought,
the zone was divided into three parts,
each of which is to constitute a divis-
ion under the department of construc-
tion and engineering, the division en-
gineers reporting direct to the chief
engineer. The first is to include all
territory north of Tabernilla, to be
designated the Atlantic division: the
second is to, extend from Tabernilla to
Pedro Miguel, to be named the central
division, and the third, extending from
Pedro Miguel to deep water in the Pa
cific, will constitute the Pacific divis-
ion. AS the reorganization is not COM
plete at this time, it's details must
be left for the next annual report"
The report shows great progress in
excavation and construction on the
canal itself and advances in the provis-
ions for sanitation and protection of
the towns in the canal zone. School
buildings were erected at ten places in
the zone. The general health condi-
tions have been greatly improved, the
death rate being less than half that of
the previous year.

BAD ITCHING HUMoR.
Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw
Feet SWollen-Sleep Broken
Cured in Days by Cuticura.

Some two months ago had a hu-
NOR break out on my limbs below my
knees. They came to look like raw
beefsteak, all red, and no one knows
how they itched and burned. They
were SO swollen that / could not get
my shoes on for week or more. 1
used five or six different remedies and
got no help, only when applying them
the burning was worse and the itching
less. For two or three weeks the suf-
fering was intense and during that
time did not sleep an hour at time.
Then one morning l tried bit of
Cuticura. From the moment 1t touched
me the itching was gone and I have
not felt bit of 1t since. The swelling
went down and in two days had my
shoes on and was about as usual

The annual report of Lieut.. Col. G..
w. Goethals, chief engineer of the 18TH
mian canal commission, gives in detail
the progress of the work on the inter-
ocean waterway. The report says, in
part:
"The membership of the commission
continued without change during the
year. Early in June Mr.. Jackson Smith
rendered his resignation, effective
Sept Is, 1908, and entered upon two
months leave of absence, beginning
July 18th. Lieut. Col. H. F. Hodges,
corps of engineers, U. S. A, was ap-
pointed to succeed him, and was as
signed to duty under the commission
during the interim; he reported for
duty on the isthmus July IA, 1908.
1.-THE executive order of Jan. 6, 1908,
combined several existing orders and
defined the duties of the commission
more clearly, transferring to the chair
man certain details which the order
that it superseded had delegated to the
commission.
"The organization of the department
of construction and engineering is CIV
en- in detail in the last annual report
of the commission, and the several de-
partments and divisions therein out
lined were continued throughout the
year, except that in consequence of the
change in the location Of the locks on
the Pacific side, the Pacific division of
locks and dams was substituted for the
La Boca locks and the La Boca dams
division. Briefly, the department of
construction and engineering con-
sisted of three departments and twelve
divisions; each division had its indie
pendent administrative organization
and reported through the head of the
department to which it belonged.
"Under the organization as it existed
buildings were erected, roads built and
sanitary bitches dug or constructed in
the same territory in which canal work
was in progress, but in each specific in
stance, under a separate head; the re-
suits were not always satisfactory. In
order to concentrate authority, to expe-
dite the transaction of business, to Sc
cure proper coordination, to fix defin-
itely the responsibility in any particu-
lar case, and to reduce the cost of ad-
ministration, complete reorganization
was undertaken toward the close of the
fiscal year, to be effected gradually,
beginning July 1st, by which all con-

Threshinu Pine Cones.

Glenwood Springs, Colo.-The office
of the Holy Cross forest reserve in
this city for the past few days has had
the appearance of threshing floor
rather than place for clerical work.
The officers are engaged in threshing
seed from pine cones. About 100 bush
els of the cones have been collected
and the yield is about one pound of
seed to each bushel of cones. The seed
is to be distributed over the reserve
to start reforestation.

When Disease viii Disappear.

At the reopening of medical school
In London recently Sir John Broad
bent, in an address to the students,
said that he looked forward "to some
Utopian era when such diseases as
influenza, pneumonia, measles, scarlet
fever and the like will become more
or less extinct as result of proper
ventilation of offices, shops, public
buildings and private houses, and 9TH
er sanitary measures, such as the
avoidance of overcrowding, the aboli-
tion of children's parties and the habit
of indiscriminate kissing. The last
should not be a hardship" Sir John
added, if we accept the schoolboy's def
milton Of kiss: 1T is just putting
your mouth to persons cheek and
drawing in your breath, SO as to make
little noise, which is not bad, but it
does nothing in the way of helping
you to love the person.

Beaver Pond in Denver.

The Beaver colony in the City Park
at Denver will be permitted to con-
struct dam and make their own pond.
A covered concrete home will be built
for them, with an underground pas
sageway leading to their pond. The
pond, though surrounded by concrete
walls so that the beavers cannot dig
their way out, will be provided with
plenty of earth, together with logs and
branches of trees for them to build
with. Water will be kept running
through the pond constantly.

Il was then an inveterate coffee
drinker, but it was long before l could
be persuaded that it was coffee that
hurt me. Finally l decided to leave it
off a few days and find out the truth,
"The first morning l left off coffee l
had raging headache, so l decided l
must have something to take the place
of coffee" (The headache was caused
by the reaction of the coffee drug
caffeine)

but after l learned how to make it
right, according to directions on pkg,
