creased shipping facilities and lower
rates to points both east and west this
waterway will offer once the suggest
ed improvements are made on the re-
naming sixty-three miles of the canal
between Lockport and La Sale.
Norman d. Fraser, president, Chi
cago Portland Cement company, an ar
dent supporter of the project, states
that the abandoned waterway land
will doubtless realize a sum equal to
that necessary for the improvement of
the canal.
The 100000 which the legislature
will be asked to appropriate is an
insignificant sum in itself for the
state of Illinois to devote to a project
OF this kind and with every prospect
of receiving that sum in return, from
one source alone, it is hard to con-
ceive how the legislature can do other
than endorse the plan.
Those who are opposed to the i'm.
provement of the waterway maintain
that its use, as a means of transport
ing freight, will be limited and that
any expenditure by the state for its
improvement would, therefore, be un.
|, warranted.
The use of any waterway nine feet
deep is Of course limited in the sense
that it cannot be used by lake or
ocean vessels but the advocates of
the Illinois and Michigan improvement
plan are interested only in the move
ment Of freight by barges and tow
boats. How then would the use Of
the canal be limited?" asked Mr.. Fra
ser. 'Tn the past it has been popular
enough among shippers to return to
the state, In tolls, every dollar expend-
ed on it's construction. An addition

make, will likewise be returned; the

BUILD DAIRY or CONCRETE
Easy to Keep Clean.

Statistics show that the health of a
community may be impaired by, impur-
tiles In drinking water. The same is
true of the milk supply. An unwonted
number of lives have already been
sacrificed, chiefly among babies by
the use of impure milk. Much has
been and is being done to improve
this condition-to insure purity. Clean
illness in the dairy Is therefore of
prime Importance. If only for its
superiority in this one respect writes

Syrup of Figs. "

Children dearly love to take delicious
syrup of Figs" and nothing else cleans
and regulates their tender little stom-
achs, liver and 30 feet of bowels so
promptly and thoroughly.
Children get bilious and constipated
just like grown-ups. Then they get
sick, the tongue is coated, stomach sour,
breath bad; they don't eat or rest well; :
they become feverish, cross, irritable
and don't want to play. Listen, Moth
ers-for your child's sake don't force
the little one to swallow nauseating
castor oil, violent calomel or harsh irri-
tants like CathartiC pills. A teaspoon
full of Syrup of Figs will have your
child smiling and happy again in just a
few hours. Syrup of Figs will gently
clean, sweeten and regulate the stom-
ach, make the liver active and move on
and out of the bowels all the consti-
pated matter, the sour bile, the foul,
clogged-up waste and poisons without
causing cramps or gripping.
With Syrup of Figs you are not drug

GAS COUNTS AGAINST
TEACHER EX-CONVICT
FOR DEFALCATIONS

PEORIA, ILL, Sept. 24-Newton C.
Dougherty, former head of the Peoria
schools, was expected to arrive here to-
day to give bond on fifteen indictments
containing 645 counts growing out of
his defalcations in 1888 The former
educator is now under parole after
serving six years for charges growing
out of the same defalcations. He is
living in Chicago.
The new indictments are based on
script found in the school records in an
envelope marked 1888"
Recently Dougherty began legal pro-
ceedings to regain title to property in
ST. Louis and in Wisconsin which had
been given over in trust to the school
board agent to cover any shortage dis
covered. No action on the part of the
board to take this property had been
made. Dougherty's attorney asserts
the new indictments were brought to
hinder the action to recover this prop
erty.

Addresses on "Occupational Neuro-
sis" and The Public School as a Pos
sible Factor in Preventing Infant and
Child Mortality" were delivered by Thos
A. Williams, of Washington and Dr.
Henry L. Ceit, Of Newark, n. ].
DIR. Williams said that "neurosis is
a misnomer for those of occupation are
strictly psyche dynamic inhibitions OF
disorders in the habitual series of CO.
ordinated associations gained by educa-
ton in some art. A want OF harmony
in the controlling of the mechanism is
the fault and the disharmony is always
psychological" DR.. Williams is a spe-
cialist in nervous diseases who has been

tlcular professional acts which fail"

Checking Infant Mortality.
Dr. Ceit proposed, as a comprehen-
sive plan to check sickness and death
among infants and young children that
to the Manchester plan for little moth
ers" shall be added the French plan
and that the consultation for moth
ers'' shall be conducted within the pub
lie school and finally become a part of
its system.
The best means of preventing sick
ness and DEATH he said, would be to
raise the living power of the individ-
ual to what is called immunity II we
could apply this principle 10 infancy and
childhood, through educational and pro-
phylacttc measures, we would bring
about the greatest possible physical eff
ficiency in manhood and womanhood
while physicians have led in this
crusade against infant mortality. it is
strictly a problem in preventive medi-
cine and. therefore, clearly to be solved
by educational methods which should
be applied by the people (the state) at
the expense of the people and for the
