THE SUEZ CANAL

It is certain that in ancient times a
canal connecting the Mediterranean and
Red seas did exist. HerOdOtUs ascTibes
its projection to Pharaoh NeChO. GO 3.
c. The honor Of its completion is given
by some TO Darius, by others 70 the
Ptolemies. How long this canal con-
tinued to be used we do not know: but,
becoming finally chOked up by sand, it
was restored by TTajan early IN the
second century A. D. Becoming again
useless from the same cause, Il was re
opened by the Calph Omar, but was
finally closed by the uncomfortable
sands about A. D. l67 in which state
IL has since remained. This ancient
canal, from Suez 10 Bubastis, on the
east branch Of the Nile, was ninety-twc
miles long. from los TO leo feet wide,
and fifteen feet deep.

Constipation
is Caused by Cathartics

Amy harsh physic-a any physic that
gripes-irritates the bowels.
That is how salts and cathartics get
their effect. They act as pepper
acts in the nostrils - causing the
juices to flow.
But the bowel lining-like the skin
grows calloused under constant
irritation.
The bowels then cease to supply their
own laxative. You need physic all
the time. AS the bowels grow harder
you need larger doses.
Chat Is chronic constipation.
That is how constipation is caused
by the efforts of Nature to resist
harsh physic.
The way to cure it is to use a natural
laxative-dainty and gentle. That's
CascaTets.

WONAN'S BEST FIELD
IN GOVERNMENT
Bureau Head Says Service
Is Ideal for Them-Per-
SOnal Notes.

One Of the chief statisticians OF the
Bureau of the Census has given con-
siderable thought TO the matter OF the
employment OF women clerks in the
Government service. It is his opinion
that no line Of work affords a more at
tractive field for women than clerkships
IN the departments in Washington
He points out that the pay is good.
the hours Of reasonable length. with the
additional features Of sick and annual
leave. The great trouble. however, he
says, and On~ that leads to illness and
broken COnsUJ buttons, is the habit that so
many OF :he CLERKS have of bending over
their desks, which he thinks leads TO
stoop shoulders and probably some Pc
culiar ailment that may be claSsed with
the diseases that are said to follow GER
tain lines OF sports. such as the auto
mobile heart" and the glass arm Of
the baseball player.
Sounds Note of Warning.
He is certain that the female clerks
are becoming afflicted with the stoOp
shoulder and he sounds a note Of warn
ing in the hope that they will do what
they can TO avert such a calamity. He
suggests that they form the habit OF
AlttinB upright at Lhelf desks take al
vantage Of every occasion 70 be in the
open air, and walk whenever it is pos
sible. Long walks, plenty of fresh air,
and more attention to posture while at
work, VIII do much toward bringing
health to the clerks. he says, and re-
move the one obstacle that stands in
the way of Government work becoming
the ideal employ ment for women.
