DEPENDS ON WATER IN LUNGS
That a Drowning Person Must Rise to
the Surface Three Times Is
Merely General Belief.

A group of old salts were discuss
ing the popular belief that drowning
person must come to the surface Of
the water three times before he can
possibly drown.
We'll" said Capt TON" Morgan.
there is little ground for that suppo-
sition. The truth, drowning person
may sink the first time, never to rise
again, or he may, as in the majority
of cases, rise three times before he
sinks forever
ut all depends on the quantity OF
water he swallows when he sinks
and the size of his lungs. The hui
man body in life naturally floats while
the lungs are inflated. So long as
one keeps his head above the water
he can float with very little effort.
But as soon as the person sinks
he gulps down lot of water. If att
err he has swallowed this water ne
has any air left in his lungs he will
undoubtedly rise again, and Will con-
tinue to sink and rise until all the
air has been worked out of his lungs.
I'm most cases the frightened VIC
tim swallows enough water when ne
sinks the first time to leave him ex'
hausted, but as there is still air left
in the lungs he soon finds himself on
the surface again. Each time ne
sinks. however, the supply of air in
his lungs grows less, until ultimately
there is nothing left to support him,
when he will drown

To attain correct carriage one must
walk erect and to achieve this end
there is nothing better than trying to
walk with a book or similar article,

one from developing the swaying of
the body more to the one side than
the other. Stays that force the oppo-

Taking journey through the canal
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. one
may see everywhere evidences of the
rapidity with which the canal Is be-
ing completed. The seven-mile sea
level section between deep water and
the Gatun locks is already opened to
navigation. 1t can now be used by
craft of moderate draft. and will be
completed to its full width of 500 feet

BY the first of April the Gatun dam
will be ready to hold 55 out OF the
final 25 feet of water in Gatun lake.
That part of the dam between the
locks and the spillway is already prac-
tically completed. and the other sec
ton is being pushed to completion
rapidly. The whole structure will be
completed nearly two years before the
official opening day Of the canal.
After passing through Gatun locks.
one finds the finishing touches being
applied to the next &c miles OF chan

OF the Panama railroad along the high
ground to the east Of the canal has
taken the road out of the Chagres val
ley. This permits that entire portion
of the old Panama railroad to be done
away with. and by May the &c miles
of the canal between Gatun and Las
Cascades will be entirely completed.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health Of ev-
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude.
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or Indigestion or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective. is
combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive In
its effect. Strengthening the muscles
of stomach and bowels SO that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tons without assistance.
DR.. Caidwelrs Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in soc and

it, write for sample to DR.. w. B..
