TWO OCEANS MEET IN CANAL

Culebra, Canal Zone. Oct. 10-The
great Gamboa dyke, the last remain
ing distractions separating the wat
ers of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
was blown up at an early hour today,
The event was the occasions for gem
eral celebration throughout the Is
thmus, Much digging and cleaning
out remains to be done in Cuiebra cut
and along the route, but this will be
accomplished by mammoth dredges
floating on the surface Of the canal.
During the period OF construction
the costs have steadily gone beyond
the estimates, because of the increase
in the excavating required. In 1905
the calculation was the making of the
Culebra cut would involve the re-
moyal Of 53,Se0.000 yards of earth.
The final figures are just about douh-
le--around one hundred million
yards, in part this increase was due
to a decision to widen the prism
from 200 to 200 feet; in larger part
the increase resulted from the exas-
perating movement of the soil.
The canal will cost--it no new
trouble starts-about S400. 900, 600

diction that before it is hong in opera

HOLD U. S. BEHIND THE TIMES

Paris. Oct. 10.-Oscar Strauss,
with his wife and son sailed for
America today. Mr. Strauss has
been making a study OF social con
dui0us in England and he says from
all that he has seen he thinks the
United States is about twenty-five
years behind Great Britain in all
matters pertaining to social justice.
Germany perhaps is more advanced
than England. but Americans must
not look to German speaking coun-
tries 70 models for social reforms
because German democrats were
less spontaneous than English and
American ones; therefore, their
schemes for social betterment were
not adapted to American uses Mr.
Strauss adds that he is pleased with
the new Washington administration
believing it progressive.

In a letter dated November %.

know that I am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In a later letter, dated January 13,

future, as in the past, be ready to
speak In praise of Peruna to all suf-
ferers, | believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others

From n letter of September s, 1911,
we quote few words: II am stlll

press the faith have in it's merits.
feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
of God. of prolonging my life for

We quote a still later letter, October
81, 1919 He says: II took a severe
cold three weeks ago. at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking II two
weeks. / am now better. / consider
that Peruna has carried me over q

We quote from his last letter, dated

1t is not necessary for us to add
any words to this story. The elo-

are more convincing than arguments
