CANAL WILL BE FREE
TO AMERICAN SHIPS

Washington, D. c., May 23.-By a
close vote of 100 to 80 the House to-
day refused to permit the imposition
of tolls on American vessels engaged
in the coastwise trade and which will
rse the Panama vanal.
The action was taken during con-
sideration of the Panama canal ad-
ministration bill.
Representative Adamson of Georgia,
in charge of the measure, expressed
confidence that the House would re-
verse itself Thursday when the bill is
taken up for passage and would vote
for the imposition of toll charges on
all vessels, irrespective of the flags
they flew.
A sharp but ineffective attack was
made on the provision in the bill pro-
hibiting railroad-owned vessels from
using the canal.

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
BY DR.. r. ALLEN
Food Specialist
A LESSON FROM THE SHAK-
FRS

The Shakers, who are distin-
guished by simplicity in diet a.
we'll as in other things, have a
great lesson to teach the Amer
lean people in that particuIa., if
not in others. The Oneida com
munity adopted about 80 chill
dren, having none of their own,
and all reached maturity, a cir
cumstance we'll worthy OF note.
The children were fed alone, on a
simpler and more wholesome
diet than that eaten by the ad-
ults, and the natural con-
sequence followed, immunity
from those di-eases that carry
off so large a percentage of in
fants and children. Sanitary
conditions in general have much
to do with the health of chill
dren, but vital resistance de-
ponds upon nutrition, and the
excessive mortality of Infants,
in summer, especially, is due
chiefly to bad ,eeding. We have
seen coffee, tea, white bread,
pie and cake fed to children by
people who knew that there is
doubt as to the wholesome
ness of those things, as every
one must know who reads the
newspapers.
