To EortifY the Canal.

After nearly five hours OF debate
the house Of representative voted
overwhelmingly in favor of the policy
OF terrifying the Panama canal and
appropriated s3000.000 TO begin the
work. the total cost Of which hG:
been estimated at S12.000.000.
The action Of the house practically
settles the question of fertilization
for the sentiment in the Senate is
said to be more than two to one In
favor OF protecting the isthmian wet
erway BY Se?coast batteries.
The real test in the House came
on an amendment, proposed b. Rep
resentative Tawney Of Minnesota,
chairman of the committee on APP
preparations. Mr.. Tawney has been
opposed to fortifying the canal from
the first and made a speech against
that policy near the close of debate
He then offered an amendment which
provided that no part OF the money
set aside for fortification should be
used until the president of the Unit
cd States had attempted to negotiate
treaties with all of the leading mar
thine nations guaranteeing the neu-
trality and interns -.onal protection OF
the canal. Representative Sherley
Of Kentucky bitterly attacked this
amendment and warned members
that IT had been introduced for the
sole purpose of defeating the appro-
priatiOn.
The Tawney amendment then was
voted down by 1870 to GO. A motion
by Representative Keifer of Ohio to
strike out all provision for the forti-
| fication of the canal was lost by a
vote of 1875 TO 81
When II came TO voting. the Repub-
leans generally supported the forti-
fication OF the canal and the Demo
Gratis opposed II. The detection OF
about 90 Republicans from the gen.
eral policy OF fertilization was Offset
by similar detection on the Demo
! cratic side i'm favor OF fertilization.

HEREDITY

The influence of heredity cannot, OF

1t can be minimized or entirely over

and drink. A Conn. lady says:
"For years while l was a coffee
drinker l suffered from bilious at
tacks of great severity, from which
used to emerge as white as ghost
and very weak. Our family physi-
clan gave me various prescriptions for
improving the digestion and stimulat-
ing the liver, which l tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
HE was acquainted with my FAM
lily history for Several generations
back, and once when l visited him he
said: If you have inherited one OF
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from it's inaction.

MAYORS OF GERMAN CITIES
Position Is Considered One Of Honor,
and Graft Is Rarely Heard Of
There.

A public trust in Germany, accord.
ing to Heinrich Theurer of Frankfort,
Is public honor, and there are but
few cases of graft known in the ia.
therland.
One OF the principal requirements
of mayor in Germany" said Herr
Theurer, who is a banker, lis unquali.
fed honesty, for in the municipal ad.
ministration of Germany graft in any
form is not tolerated; in fact, it is un.
known. To become the mayor of a
city like Berlin, the applicant must
have established his reputation for eff.
ficiency by governing other German
cities. His career is carefully scru.
tinized by the members of the town
council, who select him, for not only
must he be competent, and be able to
perform successfully the duties of his
high office, but also he must be young
enough to remain competent for many
years, for a mayor in Prussia is elect
ed for term of IL years, and, If not
reelected after that period, is entitled
to life pension OF half the amount
of his salary. After a service of six
years his pension is one-fourth of his
salary, and after serving 20 years, two
thirds. He need not be a resident of
Berlin at the time of his appointment;
in fact, the mayor is usually chosen
from the residents of other cities.
THE mayor is appointed by the
town council, subject to the confrma
ton of the king of Prussia" continued
Mr.. Theurer. when it becomes
known that the Office of mayor is to
be vacant applications for the position
are considered by committee of the
town council, and If municipal officers
have made especially good records in
other cities they may be requested to
apply, if they have not already done
80. After a thorough discussion of
the merits of the various applicants.
the appointments are made.
I'VE regard the administration of a
city from a strictly business stand
point, the same as any other big en-
terprise. If Industrial financial and
commercial concerns are anxious to
secure the best managers to be had
to take charge of their interests, why
should not a municipality do the same
thing, when 1t is considered that the
interests involved are so great and i'm
portant and concern every citizen and
taxpayer? The less politics in the
public administration and more bust.
ness principles the better Why don't
you apply the same principles in

HEALTH MOVEMENT IN CITY
Washington School Children Given
Circulars Telling How to Pre-
vent Disease.

An elaborate health movement will
De started in Washington, D. c., in the
near future when more than fifty
thousand children of the grade and
high schools will be given circulars
telling in simple language how to
take care of themselves and prevent
diseases to which, it has been found
by investigation, school children are
peculiarly subject.
The movement will aim primarily
to prevent diseases which are due
mainly to neglect and bad habits.
Cooperation between parents, chill.
dren, teachers, school officials and
family physicians will be assured in
this way, it is hoped, with the result
of a better physical juvenile Wash
tngton. Furthermore, in endeayorine
to obtain the cooperation of the fam
lily physician, copies Of the circular
have been sent to more than one
thousand members of the medical fra
ternity of the district, with personal
letters asking their aid in the move
ment
The circulars, printed as they are
in simple language, entirely free from
technicalities, will form easy reading
matter for the children. Because of
the simplicity of the circulars, it Is
hoped by those who are interested in
the movement that they will be
talked over" paragraph by para
graph, and word by word, in sixty
thousand homes.
In spite of the fact that the keynote
of the pamphlet is simplicity, the lat
est scientific discoveries and data com
piled on the prevention of disease
have been embodied in the four pages
Of the circular.

it another powerful yank without be-
ing able to open it.

the wife ventured, lis that you are

With gentle tug upward on the

cured my baby of itching, torturing

cured it. Then the eczema broke out
so badly behind her ear that l really
thought her ear would come off. For
months I doctored it but to no avail.
Then it began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. had to
keep her in dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so I
stopped him coming.
For about two weeks had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then got box of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that. In a week
there was a marked improvement. In
all l used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and one box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not a
scar on her. 1 can not praise Cuti-
cura enough, can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without a sore From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the

Granite of the South,

When one speaks of granite the
mind naturally reverts to Vermont. 1t
is difficult to associate granite with
any section of North America outside
New England, yet it must now be &C
knowledged to the credit of the south
that Georgia, North Carolina, Mary,
land and Virginia are producing large
quantities of stone of good quality
which insures the south a place in
the market at any rate.
The annual output is now worth
about $3,50O,OOO and the industry is
growing. 1t may be of comparative
interest to know that New England's
output is about 100000 worth of
stone annually.
