 New York, July 24.-Not until the civil suit filed yesterday to dissolve the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad is further advanced will criminal action against, certain direc- tors and officers be begun. according to an announcement today by T. w.

 It is expected that a special panel of the federal grand jury will be called for the first week in August and that the cases for alleged crim- inal violation of the Sherman anti trust law will start about that time. MT. Gregory has declined to say what directors he would proceed against criminally.
 ,, The answer of the New Haven com pany to the suit in equity, brought yesterday, must be filed on or be- fore August 12. It was expected that k. c.

formidable foes, but with characters
tic American perseverance and energy
they set out to conquer the monster.
There followed one of the fercest bat
ties of the conquest; a battle of brains
versus strength. The mighty torrent
would seem conquered, when in an
hours time it would break out, tear
up structures and devastate fields, but
finally the old river gave up and slum-
bered.
The Culebra cut was a victory Sec
ond only to that of conquering the
Chagres. Here an entire wall of rock
and soil barred the engineers from vic
tory, but the same forces that subdued
the Chagres finally levelled Culebra
Great slides made this work slow and
dangerous, but as fast as it fell it was
hauled away to make dams and used
for other purposes.
Panama canal was built principally
for protection and commerce. How Il
would aid in war times was illustrated
il 1898 by the Oregon. A trip Of $4,000
r'iles around Cape Horn to get to
Santiago Bay would not have been
necessary if the canal had been ready
in that year. AS further illustra-
ton take our navy base at Guam and
our Philippine Islands. We could send
our Atlantic squadron to either Guam
or the Philippines to protect our in
terests there.
AS for commerce, it will revolution
ize our trade in the following coun-
tiles and continents: Central and
South America; Japan, China and the
East Indian Islands, and all the prin-
cipalities of the Orient. 1t will make
our southern states prosperous and
will give an impetus on all southern
industries.
Since the near-completion of the
Panama canal is at hand, naturally
the eyes of the nations are upon us IN
regard to the tolls question. AS we
have already seen, the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty specifically states that Eng
land shall have the same tolls as the
most favored nation; our own United
States, by virtue of having built the
canal desires to have her ships go toll
free. England says if the United
States ships go toll-free, so must
theirs. We argue that we excepted the
United States when that treaty was
made but the attitude of England
seems to be you should have said
what you meant and meant what you
said" Wilson also says We ought to
keep our contract and save the honor
o. the nation.

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder BOthers
You Drink Lots of Water.
0: the natiol

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean, by flushing
them with mild, harmless salts which
removes the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste. so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma'
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast each morning for
a few days and your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been us
ed for generations to clean and slim
ulate clogged kidneys; also to neutral
ize the acide in urine so it no longer
is source of irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes delightful effervesceut
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the n
kidneys clean and active. Try this,
also keep up the water drinking and no
doubt you will wonder what became
of your kidney trouble and backache.

Panama Canal
By Cliff Wheatley.

The Panama canal, the greatest en-
cheering project ever conceived of
and accomplished was begun by a
French engineer, DeLesseps, in 1850.
President Hayes pleaded in vain with
the American people, saying "The pro-
POSED canal would be part of the coast
line of the United States" DeLesseps,
however, failed in his attempt and his
company became bankrupt. After his
failua,e the canal question was drop

nest.
The health conditions of the Isthmus
were awful and although it takes death
rather than ill-health to conquer Ia
Gle Sam, still it was realized by all
that the firmest foundation of success
was health. Urged by this realization,
we fought against the deadly diseases
III every possible manner. The fight
ers faced death almost daily, and were
often struck down at their work. yell
low fever was at first an epidemic aud
meant almost instant death. But man
was conquering the causes were found
and removed, the cases grew fewer
and as they grew fewer, less fatal.
The improved conditions of health
caused the peoples spirits to rise, la
borers were more easily secured and
the work was done with greater zeal
than ever before.
Before much work could be done,
though, the style of the canal had to
be decided upon. Some favored the
straight dug canal, while others far-
'ored the lock canal. All advantages in
10th cases were considered There was
the Chagres river, very important
factor for the locks and a great hi1-
drance for the straight dug canal, as
in the first case it would help furnish
q water supply for the locks, but its
course would have to changed entirely
to make the straight dug canal even
possible; then, too, the straight dug
canal would demand much more time,
work and expense than the locks. I'm
der these considerations, the locks
were decided upon and adopted.
Now, let us turn from the furry and
hurry of our work and spend just a
few restful hours in visit to the canal
CT so much local interest Here we
will take this boat on the Atlantic side
and sail into Limon Bay, where we
gently glide along, rocked to and fro
by the waves as we watch the beauti-
full scenery. Say, don't see anything
that seems so particularly difficult, do
you? But stay, what s.? "0nly
the locks" says the guide to one f
our company. Then, with increased
interest we turn our attention to the
great locks. We slide slowly along
upon the water as we approach what
appears to be large iron walls, but are,
of course, the gates of one of the huge
locks by which we are to be lifted 10
the lake, so high above us. We pass
between these gates, then our boat
stops and looking back we see them
drawn together and securely fasten-
ed, as if by magic. By close observ>.-
ton, we see the waters upon which we
rock are gradually rising and with
them our boat. "Ah, pretty piece of
work, is it not?" asks our friend, the
euide, with some degree of satisfaction
as he notes our expression of wonder.
