COL. GAILLARD
 FORGED TO RETIRE FROM CANAL WORK


 Washington, July 3o.-war depart- ment officials were surprised to hear through the press reports from Pan- anna that Col. David Du Gaiilard, chief of the central division of the Canal, had suffered a breakdown. When in the United States recently on leave of absence the officer showed no signs of illness. Recent reports on the work in the famous Culebra Cut, which is directly in his charge, have been most encouraging.
 Should GaillardHs retirement from the Canal work be permanent it would leave as the support of Colonel Goe- tha1s no less than four efficient army any naval ofdvers. namely, Co.'s. Sar- bert, Cora Hodges and Judson, and Civil Engineer Rosseau. Therefore it is believed that rather than make a new appointment at this stage of the canal, Col Gail1ard's functions will be distributed among the officers already | in the zone.

NEW HAVEN'S SIX PER GENT DIVIDEND IS
 SAFE SAYS DIRECTOR

A director of the New Haven" road says to the srWa1l Street Journaf'- There need be no occasion for dis quiet regarding safety of the present 6 per cent. dividend rate. That rate was adopted after mature deliberation and in the minds of the directors, rep resented the maximum cut which it was felt would have to be made. Un- less the entire country, and New Eng land in particular, are in for a long period of drastic depression, have every confidence that the present 6 per cent. dividend can be maintained.
 Possibly it may not be fully earned for 8 year or two, but there should be progressive improvement in the net earnings and if surplus has to be drawn on slightly for a year or two, that is merely the utilization of sur plus for the proper purpose for which 1t exists. Directors generally feRl
 that a further cut is not only un- necessary but that it would inf1ict hardship and perhaps even suffering upon people whose incomes have al-

Retired Georgia Planters Advice to
 Kidney Sufferers

Regarding the wonderful curative merits of your Swamp-Root, I cannot say too much. After suffering severely for three years or more with severe pains caused by weak kidneys, I was finally induced to try Swamp-Root through a testimonial I read in one of the newspapers. I was in such a condition that I was obliged to arise from my bed six or eight times every night I purchased a 1fty-cent bottle and before it was used I felt so much relief that I purchased a one-do11ar bottle and by the time this was taken the old pains had left my back and I could sleep the whole night through. I am a retired planter, TO years of age, and owing to Dr. .Kilmer's Swamp Root, am in the best of health and feel like a boy. am always glad to recommend Swarnp-Root to those who are in need of it.
