CONTINUED from yesterday

This commission held its first meet
ing in Washington on March %, when
preparations. were made for a visit to
the tsthmus, which it reached on
April 8. After three weeks of inyes
legations 1t decided that such en-.
cheering records as the French left
must be supplemented by fresh ex-
piorations and surveys, that the santa.
ton of the canal zone and the cities Of
colo1fand Panama was of the first i'm.
portance and TINT period of prepare
ton generally must precede effective
construction operations. Surgeon Colo
mel w. G., Gorgas accompanied the
commission on this trip and made the
preliminary plans for cleaning up the
isthmus which. when worked out,
were to make him famous. The com
mission returned to the United States
on April 20.
AT meeting between representa-
tiyes OF the United States and the
French Canal company in Paris on
April 16 the sale of the company's
property for $40,0o00o0 was signed
and was ratified by the shareholders
1n5the company on April %.
President Roosevelt was subjected
to wide criticism for this deal, but of
all his actions in connection with the
canal 1t was one OF the wisest. With.
out regard to who got the money, it in.
disputably is true to any one who has
visited the canal that the United
States got a dollar in Saiue for every
dollar It paid the French company.

pointed committee, headed by ]. B.

DIABET

Ii was not easy FOR US to believe that
Diabetes is durable. but the first case
we came in personal touch with was
astonishlugly convincing.
We ware considering tho purchase Of
Fulton's Compounds and were looking for
cases to try them out on. Ono OF our
number knew Charles A. Newton. the
Yardmaster of the {. r. Il. r. Co. at
Sacramento--a very worthy man. He
also knew that Newton had Diabetes and
was in hospital in the Capitol City, and
that his recovery seemed impossible when
he last heard from him. 4 letter WAS
written to Newton that Fulton claimed
his Diabetes Compound cured Diabetes
and that wo wanted TO know from OUR
friends IL this was SO, and that IL he
(Newton) would take IL that We would
send him supply OF 1t. Newton replied
To the effect that some four of tiye
months bofore We wrote him he had
heard about the compound. had taken IL,
that the sugar was nearly out and he
was almost well. His complete recovery
followed, and he told an 8. r. Engineer
who had Diabetes and ne recovered.

WATER REPAIR GANGS
WILL WORK OVERTIME

Permission TO work his repair gangs
until every midnight until the lnnumer-
able frozen and broken service pipes
resulting from the cold snap and the
water shortage have been repaired, was
given to the superintendent of. water"
works by the city commi ssiop yesterday
nj his request.
The water trouble is now reduced to
the matter of broken and frozen service
pipes into individual homes Complaints
BY the score have been received by the
water department, which is concen-
trating its efforts in an attempt to
relieve every home that is without
water. The repair gangs will be kept
at work each night as we'll as day
answering complaints IN the order re-
ceived.
I'm many instances the freezing Of
private lines is the result OF bad
plumbing" said C. +. Barrett, superin.
tendent of waterworks. "Some local
plumbers have habit Of taking in the
private line from the public main at
nm angle that brings it dangerously
close TO the service before it reaches the
house This practice has been re.
sponsiblc for scores Of breaks and
frozen pipes during the recent cold
snap. Of course the citizen. finding
himself the victim of poor plumbing,
immediately calls on the water depart
meut for help. We are doing all in our
power to relieve all such cases, even
though our responsibility ends where
the private service line begins. Z"
Water pressure was up TO normal last
night. and plenty Of water was pouring
INTO the mains Of all three distribut-
inc systems. Warmer weather started
the CANYON streams TO flowing, and
within the next few days the city will
have back its regular supply, 1T is ex-
pected. exclusive Of the emergency sup
