CHANNEL INCOMPLETE
IN 1917, SAYS DEAKYNE

The 35-foot channel to the sea can
not be completed in 1917, in accord
ance with the predictions Of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Joseph f. Kuhn, United
States Army engineer in charge OF, the
work, unless Congress at its next ses-
sion apprOpriates at least $2,500,0 900
for 1913 and the same amount during
each year following. The annual re-
port compiled by Major Herbert Dea-
kyne, Colonel Kuhn's predecessor,
was forwarded to General Bixby,
chief army engineer, yesterday. That
report, together with those Of all the
other Government engineers through
out the United States. will be forward
ed to Congress for consideration.
IL can be easily deduced from the
report that the annual appropriation
of $l,000,0O0, under which the local
office IS now working, is insufficient
for the project That portion of the
Statement which outlines the financial
needs of the Office was not made pub
nc; but II can be easily seen that
with the present rate of work, the
machinery required TO carry il on
and the number of men at work, al
least S2,500000 year must be had
II the channel is to become a reality
by 1917.
Colonel Kuhn condently asserted
that the project could be finished
without unusual difficulty by 1917. n
sufficient appropriations were always
at hand. He added that he believed
the present appropriations were sui.
fcient. The report compiled by Ma.
ior Deakyne lcmes theeefore as z

How TO keep pace with tho rapid

OF this popular delivery car are reap

ECZEMA ON CHllD'S FACE

"My little boy broke out on the face
with that terrible disease, eczema,
when he was Just one month old, and
l just thought sure it would kill him,
as it killed our other baby at five
months old. 1t would break out in
pimples and scab over, and he cried
day and night. thought that there
was no cure for him at all. His face
would itch and burn so bad that had
to tie his little hands down so he could
not scratch his face.
I'VE began at once to have him
treated until he was seven months old
and he got worse all the time. l sent
and got a box OF Cuticura Ointment
and one cake of Cuticura Soap. I had
not used them a week until I could
see great change. and they cured
him sound and well and never left a
single scar" (Signed) Mrs. Lille
