MEN PAST FIFTY IN DANGER.

Men past middle life have found
comfort and relief in Foley's Kidney
Remedy. especially for enlarged pros
tate gland, which is very common
among elderly men. L. E. Morris, Dex-
ter, KY, writes: up to a year ago my
father suffered from kidney and blad-
der trouble and several physicians
pronounced it enlargement of the pres
tate gland and advised an operation.
On account of his age we were afraid
he could not stand it and recon-
mended Foley's Kidney Remedy, and
the first bottle relieved him, and after
taking the second bottle he was no
longer troubled with this complaint.

double first figures caused alarm.
. Under present efficient organization
alarmists believed too much excavation
was being carried on for safety"
Mr.. Taft then takes up each of the
reports and cites facts and figures
which he declares absolutely disprove
them. He declares that Buns:'-Varilla,
and Engineers Granger and Idnden
Bates criticisms of the lock canal type

they recommend. or when practical

failed TO come UP to what is claimed
for IL by these advocates.

Concluding his observ atoms, the
President. as a final word. says:
The Administration is proceeding to
construct the canal on the types au-
thorized and directed by Congress. and

icate all their arguments on theory and
not upon practical tests, who institute
comparisons between the present type
of canal and the sea-leveI type. of 3CO

disturb the even tenor OF those charged
with the responsibility of constructing
the canal. Meanwhile, the canal will
be built and completed on or before the

are now its severest critics, will be
glad to have their authorship OF recent

PRESIDENT REFUTES
CRITICISMS OF CANAL
Cites Opinions of Two French Commissions to Confound
the Statements of Bunau-V arIla, and Shows I'm
practicabiGty of Sea-Level Type.

NEW YORK, April 23.-President
Taft cites the opinions of two French
commissions to confound the state
ments Of NJ. Bunau-Varilla, the French
engineer, that the only type of canal
that should be built at Panama is the
sea-level one.
Not only that, but he also calls the
attention of all interested TO the fact
that from the inception OF the De Les
seps project until the Nicaragua route
was abandoned, every commission that
examined the project was a unit for
the lock canal route. and he holds that
the natural conditions then were ex-
actly the same when the route was
changed to Panama
The lock canal is necessary" de-
elares the President in the May Nc
Clure's, because the floods of the
Chagres river would be uncomfortable
