CANADIAN PACIFIC
. WILL NOT USE CANAL
Railroad Company Sees No
Advantage to Be Derived
by Such a Course.

WASHINGTON, Feb 25,-Assurances
that The Canadian Pacific railroad has
no intention of attempting 10 evadc the
provisions of the Panama canal act bar

With this assurance came further
declaration that the Canadian Pacific
would not send its fleets through the
canal even If there were no question
about its rights TO do so because the
company's officials could see no ad-
vantage to be gained by changing Their
present routes across the Atlantic and
Pacific.
This information was received with
particular interest because Senator Brs-
tow and others in congress have charged
that agitation in favor OF repeating the
section of the canal act giving free tolls
10 American vessels was in the interest
of the great Canadian railway and steam
ship corporation.
II has been suggested in the debates,
however, that the transcontinental roads
opposed the free tolls provision not SO
much on account Of the advantage Ameri-
can ships would be given over those OF
other nations. but because Of the low
rates at which ships passing through the
canal free of tolls would he able TO carry
freight In competition with the rail-
ways.
News of the attitude OF the Canadian
Pacific came today In the form OF an
the Canadian government. After setting
forth that the company would not re-

report said. moreover:

SEES TENDENCY TO
OVERDO MATTERS
Some of the Proposed Health
Laws Called Farcical; DIFF

and Unframed Officials.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Common sense
in public health administration was en-
phnsized by Assistant Surgeon General
w. G. Rucker of the federal public
health service tonight in an address be-
fore the Chicago Medical society.
ct is proper that we insist upon
aboIishing the common drinking cup, .
furnished to the general public shall
be stcrilized, the question assumes a
phase as farcical and ridiculous as
would be the individual doorknob, Al
ready good many common-sensc lay
men are offering the criticism that we
arc carrying public health measures to
an unnecessarily fine point of perfec-
tion. While this contention is not
granted, it must be admitted that some
of the recommendations by unframed
enthusiasts bear a close resemblance TO
the royal society's recommendations
with regard to bathing. These, reduced

administration comprehends the en-
plcyment of well-trajned health officers

islstion having as its foundation the
basis of fact and practicability.
Common Sense the Guide.
Fact, not theory, must be the basis
of our action. Disease is not A ghost,
but reality. The common-se appli-
cation OF knowledge alone Will control
il. The sanitary millennium will never
come, but research and commonseDsc
administration will bring IT nearer
Dr., Ruckcr compared the practices of
trained aud unframed sanitarians. The
unframed health officer, he said, es-
tablishes shotgun quarantine, burns
tar barrels III the streets and washes
down houses with bichloride of mercury
for a yellow fever outbreak. The
trained sauitaTian merely DESTROYS the
mosquitoes.
The American people, he said, were
awakening TO u wholly needless sacri-
flee to preventabie diseases and there
was great danger that the public health
movement might be attended by fads
and fanaticism- Two general sets of
faults in the sanitary laws Of the coun.
