question of continuing the excava-
tion of the canal by steam shovels
or by hydraulic dredges and Colonel
Goethais for the first time makes
an official statement of the reasons
which impelled him to choose the

In brief these were based on the
apprehension that Gamboa dixie
would not be strong or high enough
to keep the water out of the Cut
as the Gatun lake rose in the wet
season. Also, steam shovel opera
tions would be retarded by the sea-
sonal rains which would affect the

BRONCHITIS SUFFERER
Takes Druggists Advice With
Splendid Result.

If anyone should know the worth
of a medicine, it is the retail druggist
who sells it over his counter every
day in the week, and is in a position
to know what remedy gives the best
satisfaction.
Mrs. Frank H. Uline, of West Sand
Lake, N. Y, says: For a number of
years I was a great sufferer from
bronchitis. Last July / had an attack
which was more severe than any, and
my friends thought could not recover
from it. Then / was advised by my
druggist to try Vinol, which | did,
with wonderful results. My cough
has left me; have gained in weight
and appetite, and l am as strong as
ever l was. I advise all who have
bronchitis, chronic coughs, or who are
run down to try Vinol"
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal curative elements of the
Gods liver, without the greasy oil,
aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron that makes Vinol 50 efficient

A TWO REEL BRONCHo FILM.
His Squaw' Will BE Shown at the
Palace Tuesday Night.

''His Squaw'' Will BE Shown at the
Palace Tuesday Night.
Jim Hale is engaged to a pretty
girl, Irene Smith, and goes West to
search for gold. He spends his last
money for powder to blast with. A
terrific explosion rends the mount
ain side, revealing no yellow metal.
Discouraged Jim writes TO his sweet
heart releasing her from her engage
ment and bidding her goodbye for
ever. In his abstraction he becomes
lost in the desert and suffers from
the rays of the sun and raging thirst.
In a dying condition he is found by
the Indians, who bring him back to
health, and Jim marries an Indian
girl and becomes a fur trader. Irene
Smith and her father go in search
of Jim, joining an emigrant train.
The Indians plan to capture the train
and Jim determines to prevent the
massacre of the whites. His squaw
aids him in this, and he reaches the
emigrants and leads the women and
children to a distant fort. The meet
ing between Jim and Irene is pathet-
ic, Jim confessing his marriage. A
terrible battle takes place between
the whites and Indians, while Jim
leads the soldiers to the scene. They
arrive too late. The squaw, thinking
her husband is among the slain,
determines to avenge Jim's death,
and during the night she Stays the
chief. She is caught by the squaws,
who throw her over a cliff. She drags
herself to the door of Jim's cabin,
and dies in his arms. The picture
ends with a silhouette dissolving
scene, after a title, THE Call of the
Blood" showing Jim riding back to
civilization with Irene.
