Owing to the level condition OF tho
country, the construction of canal
In Holland involves but comparatively
little labor and expense. Many of the
canals are used constantly as substi-
tutes for public highways, and In the
winter their frozen surfaces offer con-
venient roads for the skaters who
throng them on their way to and from
market and about their various occu-
pat1ons. So complete is the canal
system that by means Of it resident
| Of Rotterdam could breakfast at Delft
or The Hague, dine at Leyden and
sup at Amsterdam, or return to his
! home before nightfall. Since not only
the surface but the beds of many Of
Hollands canals are above the level Of
land, the drainage is of the greatest
Importance. This is effected by means
of pumps worked by the windmills
that are such characteristic feature
of the Dutch landscape. The banks Of
the canals are maintained by the fam
lilies that live along them, each being
assigned portion to keep in repair.
Emory R. Johnson, professor Of
transportation and commerce in the
University of Pennsylvania, who re.
Gently made study Of European wa
terways, as the special representative
of the National River and Harbor con-
which Germany, France, Holland and
Belgium have co-operated in estab-
fishing standard dimensions for their
canals and barges, and connecting
their systems. In this manner the
through shipment Of international
traffic has been facilitated. "Another
feature Of the waterway policy Of
these European countries" he says,
''is that care is taken to provide wa
terways with adequate terminal and
harbor facilities, and to make such
physical connections between rail-
roads and waterways at all inland
harbors as to guarantee the easy and
economical transfer of traffic from
cars to boats and water to rails It Is
realized that terminal facilities and
rail connections are as essential part
of the projects for making waterways
useful as are reliable channels of ade-
quate width and depth. The Rhine
river, for instance, has 62 harbors
equipped AS fully as commercial needs
require, with storage and transfer ia
cilities. At 10 Of these terminals the
direct transfer of goods from trains

Many of the harbors include large
basins, some of which are used for
the transfer and storage of commodi-
ties, while others are constructed to
enable big industrial plants to locate
on water frontage. Each city con-
structs is own harbor with but little,
If any, aid from the state, the expense
being borne by the city, aided In some
| instances by private interests"

COFFEE CONGESTION
Causes a Variety Of Ais.

A happy old lady in Wisconsin
says:
During the time was q coffee

aches, sometimes lasting 2 or 3 days,
totally uniting me for anything.
TO this aftliction was added, some
years ago. trouble with my heart
that was very painful, accompanied
by g. smother1ng sensation and faint
ness.
Dyspepsia, also, came to make life
harder to bear. took all sorts Of pat
ent medicines but none Of them helped
me for any length Of time.
The doctors frequently told, mo
that coffee was not good for me; but
without coffee felt as If had no
breakfast finally decided about z
years ago to abandon the use Of cof-
fee entirely, and as I had read q great
deal about Postum I concluded to try
that for breakfast beverage.
Il liked the taste Of It and was par
tcularly pleased to notice that It did
not come up az coffee used to. The
bad spells with my heart grew len
and less frequent, and finally ceased
altogether, and have not had an at
tack OF sick headache for more than q
year. My digestion is good, too, and

OrOus and pushing. Then, with q
successful kill, there would naturally
be little gorging of meat, followed
by long and lazy rest.
Now, while we, their descendants,
are not quite as savage or quite as i'm
provident as were our primitive fore
fathers of the Jungle or the prairies,
and while it is true that we are not
distressed with alternate scarcity and
redundancies of food, we inherit the
stomachs and the general digestive ma
chinery of those active old fathers of
ours, and a reasonable degree of alter
nate gorging and starving is good for
US. Unfortunately, however, most of
us have to attend to business year In
and year out, and We cannot lie idle
around the woods digesting OF our
gorges, whereas fasting is not to be
thought of by persons who work at
occupations very different from hunt
ing.
But we can do this: We can cut
down, or cut out, our meat diet at IT,
regular and fairly frequent intervals;
go without meat altogether for week
or so; be vegetarians, not regularly,
but quite irregularly, for short lengths
of time. And then when we give
meat its inning, we will be better pre-
pared to appreciate it, and to extract
from it the health and happiness we
need.
The vegetarian is therefore here
with supplied with a scientific princi-
pie" as sound and as negotiable as a
golden eagle. But II he adopts 1t he
will have to cut himself in two.
