Washington, Dec. 5.-fSpecial )- With hardly an exception the Congress men who make trips to Panama to in- vestigate the progress of the work on the canal bring back information tc the effect that the big ditch is certain ly going to be finished some time dur ing the year 1915. which is the time Colonel Goethals, the engineer in charge, says 1t will be finished.
 But the statesmen who have lately returned from the isthmus do not agree with that eminent engineer that the canal will not cost over $S75,000,00 They think that perhaps the physical work can be done for about those fig- ures, but great many additional mill lions will be required to put the enter prise into running shape so that the canal can be opened to the navigation and commerce of the world.
 As to finishing the gigantic under taking within the year 1915, much will quentiy occur, and which have given the engineers and the force of laborers no end of trouble. There is no way Of determining at present just where this thing will stop However, 1t has been possible to prevent the earth from slid ing in the places that have been strengthened. and the experts do not calculate they will break loose again
 May Build Forts.
 It seems to he the general opinion among Congressmen. and especially those who are members of the Senate and House Appropriations committees that the Government will fortify the canal at both ends, and the proposition will be brought forward this session the belief being strong that the forti- sications can be constructed to more advantage and at less cost now than fl the construction were delayed until af- ter the completion of the canal. Al present there is an abundance of labor on the isthmus. the machinery is al hand. the cement works are already there. and practically everything else necessary in building the necessary forts for the protection of the canal in the event of war. It Is estimated that

 The very best physician should be consulted at once, or let the following simple, inexpensive. but reliable pre- ecriptton be used for several weeks:
 Mix on-half ounce fluid extract Bu- ciu, with one ounce compound fluid Baimwort and two ounces compound syrup Sarsaparilla. Then take a tea spoonful after each meal and one at retiring, drinking plenty of good, pure water between meals. This mixture makes a splendid tonic and blood pu- xifler.
