UNITED STATES
TO GUARD POLLS
Panama Election Will Not Be
Favored by Fraudulent
Methods.
TAFT'S LETTER PUBLISHED
HAS CAUSED A SENSATION ON
THE iSTHMUS- VOTERS APP
PEALED TO SHOW SOME PA
TRIOTlSM.

Panama, June 17-The publication
OF the letter which the American sec
rotary of war, William II. Taft. deliv-
cred to Pre- sident Amador at the time
of his visit to the isthmus and in
which the intention of the United
States government to intervene in
Panama elections is plainly set forth,
has caused sensation here, particul-
arly among the supporters of Senator
Arias, the secretary of state. and one
of the candidates for the presidency,
concerning whom Secretary Tafts let
ter makes special reference.
The American communication has
been guarded by President Amador
since the date of its receipt, it being
stated that not even all the members
OF his Cabinet were cogniZant of it's
contents, and the plain statements
made in the letter, now published
have made a deep impression.
The active participation of the Unit
ed States in the coming elections is
the chief subject of discussion among
the Panamans, as it is announced the
American commissioners, backed by
sufficient force, will be present at the
polls to supervise the counting of the
votes, so that the legal voters may
have an opportunity to elect a presi-
dent without danger from fraudulent
methods.
Representatives of the United
States also will keep watch in the
principal cities during the municipal
elections, which take place June IS.
Intense excitement prevails in official
circles at the present time.
The collector of customs at Colon,
Jose Echeont who has been taking an
active part in the campaign, today is
sued pamphlet, which was extern
sively distributed, urging the nation to
forget political differences and ap-
pealing to the patriotism of the people
to avoid the fatal results of American
intervention. He instances the sit
uation in Cuba. and suggests third
candidate as solution of the present
state of affairs.

AslMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUY.
ING PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple
and easy it is to avoid all uncertainty
IN buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the mar
ket, which contain chalk, zinc, barytes,
aud other cheap adulterants. Unless
the property owner takes advantage of
the simple means of protection afford
ed him by reliable white lead manu-
factVrers. he runs great risk of getting
an inferior and adulterated white lead.
1t is to protect the paint-buyer
against fraud and adulteration that Ma
tional Lead Company. the largest max
ers of genuine Pure White Lead, place
their famous Dutch Boy Painter"
trademark on every beg Of their pro-
duct, an absolute guarantee Of its pur-
ty and quality. Anyone who wants to
make practical test of white lead and
who wants valuable free book about
painting, should address National Lead
Company, Woodbridge building. New
York. and ask for test equipment.

4 Machine for Building Cement Side.

One of the latest labor saving devices
is a machine that lays and finishes cement
sidewalks with remarkable rapidly 1t
consists of a travelling mould and a winch
for pulling the mold ahead. The concrete
for the base OF the sidewalk is shoveled or
dumped into the front part of the mold,
and the finishing mortar is shovelled or
dumped into the hopper at the middle of
the mold This hopper is so designed that
it feeds thin layer of mortar on to the
concrete base as the mold travels forward.
Thus complete and perfect sidewalk is
delivered at the rear end of the machine
No skilled fnishers are required. No la
Dor is needed to build forms. No men are
needed to lamp the concrete. In brief.
says Cement Age. New York. the process
is simply one of mixing the ingredients
and depositing them into the proper part
of the travelling mold. The mold does the
rest With a properly organized gang, the
mold is kept travelling continuously at the
rate of two feet per minute. The shape
of the mold is such that the concrete is
squeezed both lateraliy and vertically in
to Il dense block, which, as above stated
requires no ramming. Perhaps the most
remarkable feature of the mold is the per-
feet finish that it gives to the sidewalk
The walk looks as IL it had been hand

1t is no economy to feed poor musty

that horses do not eat dirty and musty

DO not stuff the road horses with hay
A horse cannot travel easily with stoin-

A good handful of cut hay should be
mixed with the grain to compel perfect
mastication
There is always good saving In the
Intelligent handling of feed.
Irregular feeding tends to make horses
bolt their grain. Guard against it. Bolt
ing food causes indigestion and conse-
quently loss of health.
1t is not always wise to feed the same
amount OF grain to both horses in one

Be sure to teach the sucking colts to
eat grain before they are weaned.

only drawback to this statement IL
that it will tend to increase the num-
