WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Attorney
General McReynolds was upheld in his
course of action toward the dissolution

the steps he had been forced to take.
He also admitted that certain directors
of the New Haven had tried 10 secure
immunity by making promises to carry
out to the most minute degree the de-
mand for dissolution of the holdings of
the corporation. which made it mo-
nopoly throughout New England, but
that he had refused TO bargain. He
also said that he believed it would be
necessary 10 push dissolution suit
under the Sherman law, inasmuch as
the directors have gone back ON their
promise to voluntarily dissolve the
trust.

THE CAPE COD CANAL.
From the Norfolk virginian- Pilot.
The completion of the Cape Cod
Canal. which has just been opened
to traffic, marks the realization of an
idea more than a century old. A
contributor to a recent issue of Les
les Weekly. in an article giving a
concise history of the undertaking,
tells us that a survey for a route was
made as far back as George Wash
ington's time and that in 1860 an ex-
Eaustive report on the feasibility of
such a waterway was submitted to
the Massachusetts Legislature No
practical step was taken. however,
until a few years ago, when capita
lists and shippers began to look into
the question. This was in 1909, and
the company then formed. headed by
August Belmont as president
promptly proceeded to put the pro-
ject through, with the result that an
artificial waterway, connecting Buzz
Yards Bay with Barnstable Bay, is
today an accomplished fact.
This canal is thirteen miles long,
and its cost is placed at S12.000,O00.
II is one hundred feet wide at the
bottom, with sides so haring as to
give a width of three hundred feet
at the surface, and the depth is twen-
ty-tive feet at mean low tide. Il is
constructed on the sea level plan,
without q tidal lock, although a de-
vice to control the current will be
provided if found necessary, The
work. we are told has rot been free
from engineering and other difficult
ties. as Cape Cod, contrary to the
notion of many is not mere expanse
Of sand through which digging Is
easy. In places very hard soil was
encountered. while in others great
boulders. some weighing as much as
twenty tons. had to be removed.
Moreover, river had 10 be diverted
from its course, and voxatious ques-
tions arose in connection with rights
Of way. one suit of this kind relating
TO the estate of Grey Gables, owned
by the late ex-President Cleveland
That this waterway will prove a
great benefit TO coastWise shipping
and a profitable investment for its
! promoters may, we think. be safely
assumed The number OF craft which
round Cape Cod every year is placed
at 250O0, carrying freight aggregat-
| ing twenty-five million tons, while
the statistics show that during the
last sixty years more than two thou
sand vessels have been wrecked in
| that vicinity. entailing the loss OF
/ seven hundred lives. TO say nothing OF
the property loss which runs up into
the millions of dollars. While II is
not to be expected that all ships
trading in those waters. even those Of
limited draft. will use the cana
route, it is fairly certain that a large
proportion will do so, seeing that the
inland route operates both to shorter
distance and to lessen the dangers o
the sea. Especially will this be 81
during the winter season wher
storms are likely to be both frequen
| ana severe.
The Cape Cod Canal is especiall!
! noteworthy because of the valuable
link which It will constitute in wha
will eventually be the Atlantic deepe
waterways system. While a privat
enterprise. it will necessarily con
meet with channels provided at tn
government expense, even thong
circumstances should not ultimatel
compel its taking over by the govern
ment and its operation as a fre
waterway.

The network of nerves in your body,
like the network Of wires in a burglar
alarm system. gives quick warning
when anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at it in this way a pain Is
q useful alarm. Now, kidney weak
ness is a dangerous thing-a condition
not to be neglected-and 1t Is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals OF sick kidneys.
Tlckache Is a common warning Of

neys. 1t may be dull, nagging pain, or
:. sharp twinge when STOPPING or lift
ing. There are likely to be disorders
Of urfnation, dizziness, headaches, and
drowsy, Respondent, tired feelings.
1t is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel,
dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease.
AS a special medicine for weak kid
neys Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used for years all over the civilized
world, and surely are considered reli-

A REBELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand a lot OF
abuse, but sometime it will surely re-
bel and demand proper food in place
of the pasty, starchy, greasy stufs on
which it has been made sick.
Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady of Washington says: Three
years ago I was very i'll with catarrh
Of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. I laid in bed four
months and my stomach was so weak
that I could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was so
weak and emaciated after four months
Of this starvation that my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me in my chair.
But weak as my stomach was, 1t
accepted, relished and digested Grape
Nuts without any difficulty the first
time that wonderful food was tried.
II am now strong and in better
health than for a great many years
and am gradually growing still
stronger. I rely on Grape-Nuts for
much of the nourishment that I get.
The results have certainly been won
derful in my case and prove that no
stomach is so weak it will not digest
Grape-Nuts.

Grape-Nuts l was afraid I would
