RETURNED FROM
THE PANAMA
CANAL Zone.
TWO SEABREEzE RESIDENTS
TELL INTERESTING STORY OF
RECENT TRIP WITH EDITORIAL
ASSOCIATION.

AoSOGIA iloN.
Geo. W Wells and w. B. Hatch, of
Seabreeze, have returned from their
visit to Panama, the latter gentleman
being member of the national press
association, and the trip was under
its auspices, thus affording UNUSUAL
advantages for observation and in
spection of the gigantic work of build
ing the canal. Mr.. Wells tells inter
estingly of the magnitude of the en-
terprise, and is strongly convinced of
the wisdom and advantages of the
lock, instead OF sea level, canal.
But he says the work the national
government has done there, in the
way of health and sanitation, making
the canal zone as healthy as Sea-
breeze or Daytona, almost equals the
work of digging the canal. Mr.. Wells
regards Col Goethals, who is in
charge of the work, as a most re-
markable and competent man, and
that he merits and will achieve en-
during fame, in the construction of

Genevieve and were riding in a
tourist car, headed away from Los An

the folks at home, who were getting
ready for the Thanksgiving dinner, but
we were talking of other things. Words
are slow unless thoughts are produc-

sation Jagged.
Finally, Genevieve turned to me
with the smile she always wore when
a good plain plan had just struck
f1er.

are all relatives, and let's have fam

I'm 20 around and tell them that

DRINK WATER TO CURE
KIDNEYS AND RHEUMATISM
The People Do Not Drink Enough
Water TO Keep Healthy,
Says Well-known
Authority.

THE numerous cases OF kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drink
ing OF water, natures greatest medi-
cine, has been neglected
Stop loading your system with med
icines and cure-alls; but get on the
water wagon. IL you are really sick,
why, of course, take the proper medi-
cines-plain, common vegetable treat
ment, which will not shatter the
nerves or ruin the stomach"
To cure rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-
tralized so II will no longer be a
source OF irritation to the bladder, and,
most OF all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
Is the cause OF stomach trouble and
poor digestion. For these conditions
you can do no better than take the

Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
