LOCK PLAN
COLONEL GoETHALs SAYS CANAL WILL BE FINISHED BY
 JANUARY, 1915

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Colonel Geo. w. Goethals, chairman of the 18th milan Canal commission and member of the board of engineers appointed by President Roosevelt, who went to Pana- ma with President elect Taft, reached Washington today. The board will re port unanimously in favor of contin- uing the lock plan.
 Colonel Goethals said: Y "I repeat what l said to you year ago, and that is that the canal will be completed and ships will be traversing it by the first of January, 1915. Work on the waterway is going ahead splend- idly.
 ''I am to appear before the house committee on appropriations tomorrow when l will be prepared to give an es- innate of what the canal will cost.
 ''In my judgment the character of the canal to be built has not changed in the least The most acceptable plan is the lock canal, which is now under construction.
 Any danger of ships pumping into the gates or other parts of the lock about which some apprehension has been expressed, will be entirely avert ed by electrical devices by which the vessels win be kept under control at all times

UNIDENTIFIED MAN SELECTS A TERRIBLE METHOD OF SELF
 DESTRUCTION
DIES FROM AWFUL INJURIES
BACK, RIGHT LEG AND LEFT ARM BROKEN IN sUICI-
 DAL INCIDENT

PRESCOTT, February l5.-ln head end collision with freight train No. B on the s. F. F. & F. railroad near Cedar Glade yesterday morning at :l5 o clock an unidentified man was thrown from the track and almost immediately killed. He was carried into the caboose immediately after the accident and died in ten minutes on his way here. Ap- parently it was case of suicide.
 An inquest was held over the remains the jury returning verdict that the body was that of an "unknown man, about 45 years old, that he met his death by being struck by an engine on the s. F. F. & P. railroad, while run ming towards it, :" and "that it was the intent of deceased to commit suicide.
 When the train reached point 300 yards north of mile post Ia, the engine crew was startled by seeing man ruuing towards the train in the center of the track. The emergency brakes were applied. He was struck by the rapidly moving train, the pilot throwing him from the track After the train was brought to a standstill the man was carried into the caboose in an uncon- seious condition. He expired soon af- forwards without uttering word.
 The man s back, right leg and left arm were broken in the collision with the engine His hands were bruised in the impact of his body with the rocks when thrown from the track.
 He evidently removed the shoes from his feet az the train approached. The engine crew noticed that he was running towards the train in his stockings and examination after he was picked up showed that the soles of the stockings were not damp, although the ground was frozen. It also developed at the inquest that the toes of both feet were frozen so badly that the skin had fallen from them. His shoes were not found. No papers or other articles were found in his possession by which he could be identified. His possessions consisted of two half-used bars of toilet soap, an old towel and three, well-worn railroad time tables.
 The general appearance of the body and dress indicated that it was that of tramp.
 He was seen by train crews the last five days lowering around the vicinity where he committed the rash act tha; ended his life.
 The man boarded the northbound pas scnger train at Meath Tuesday morning and after being asked his destination by the conductor said tha. he was going to the wood camp. He appeared under the influence of liquor. He was asked for his ticket and replied that he had no money. The train was stopped anc after he alighted at mile post 8 started south on the track in the direction oi where he met his death

 "Imt there any way of giving baby medicine 70 that the whole household is not upset and at least three doses are ad ninistered before he gets oner asked distracted parent. Indeed There is Like everything else, it is simple when one knows how, and even castor ou will slip down in . second, however baby may wish 1t wouldn't.
 Castor oil should never be given without irst heating it a little. This does not mean getting 1t hot nor put ting . burning spoon into the little mouth. Tue object of heating is mere ly to thin . little the consistency of the heavy oil. and the most gentle warmth will do this. This change alone Eakes the liquid go down more easily
 When this dose Is to be given 1t is well to call in . member of the family to act as assistant. Put baby down on the bed on his back and have ready . small napkin or other bit of linen wrung out in cold water. Fold this dat just large enough to go under baby's chin up 10 the ears. Give this to the assistant and instruct her In her duty, which Is merely that of hold ing the wet compress against the chin at the psychological moment. This second Is when you gently hold the in- fant's nose. which you are to do just as you put the oil well back into his mouth. but not in the throat, which would then cause him to choke.
 Holding the nose destroys the sense of taste, and the wet compress causes . How of saliva that helps to send the medicine down. The thing necessary to success Is that all shall be done together and that the oil shall fall on the precise spot on the tongue--that is to say, it should drop as close to the throat as it can without going into the throat. To put it too near the front of the mouth gets 1t all over baby's gums and gives him full benefit of the nasty flavor. If an infant fights at taking any kind of liquid medicine it may be given in this way. but as . rule the little one swallows any un- consciously.
 If medicine in a powdered form is to be given think the simplest and for young child the best way is to give it dry. Open his mouth and have the dose ready on the point of spoon. Drop this quickly well back on the tongue and then nurse or give him . bottle at once

His Vision Of Heaven and the story
of the Mountain.

His Vision Of Heaven and the Story
Of tho Mountain.
I Halabi, the founder Of Islam, was
born at Mecca In the year A. d. go.
He died June 8, 6S2, at the age of sew
enty-two. he assumed the titular
name Of Mohammed, which means, &C.
cording to some authorities, the 'pre-
dicted Messiah"
One of the most extravagant rela-
lions which can be found In any Ian
Ruage In credited to Mohammed.
Speaking Of the sights he beheld when
transported to heaven" he says: Il
saw there an angel the most gigantic
of all created things. 1t had 10000
heads, each head had 70, 900 faces, each
face had 10000 mouths, each mouth
had 10000 tongues and each tongue
spoke 10000 languages. All were en-
ployed in singing Gods praises"
When MOhammed first announced
his divinely inspired and appointed
system the Arabs demanded super
natural proofs Of his commission.
"Moses and Jesus" said the Arabs,
wrought miracles In the testimony
Of their divine authority. And II thou
art indeed a prophet of God do 30 like
WISE"
1T would be tempting God to do co."
replied Mohammed, land bring down
his anger, as in the case Of Pharaoh"
AS the story is told in Brewers
"Phrase and Fable" the Arabs were
not satisfied with this answer, and
Mohammed then commanded one Of
the numerous eminences near Mecca
to come to him. The mountain not
stirring at Mohammed's bidding, the
prophet exclaimed: "God is merciful!
Had the mountain obeyed my words 1t
would have fallen on US to our de-
struction.
