FRENCH SHIP SAILS
THROUGH PANAMA
Vessel of Nation That Started
Work on Canal Passes Al
most Unnoticed.

Practically unnoticed at the time was
the passage of the first French vessel
through the Panama canal.
1t Is a singular fact that, although the
French government began the canal and
built a large share of it and the rela-
tionship of the French to the world s
greatest artificial waterway will always
be a matter of historic interest and i'm
portance. scarce.v any attention was
given in this country to the first use
of the canal by ship flying the
French colors.
The merchant ship from ST. Andre.
in passage from Tahiti to Glasgow. was
the vessel to make the trip. She was
laden with $500 tons of ores. 1t was
some days ago that the st. Andre

Positive Relief
For Constipation

The progress of modern medical
science Is. perhaps. no more force
fully evident than in the simplifying
Of MANY OF the old-time remedies
of past generations. For instance.
the harsh cathartics and violent pur-
gatives used by our forefathers to
relieve constipation are now known
to be not only unnecessary but really
harmful. Constipation can be more
effectively relieved without the dis
comfort and pain these old-time
remedies occasion.

far different sort of time from what
had been anticipated.
Instead of donning their brand-new
togs and getting to the boardwalk Gs
early as possible to see and be seen,
everyone tipped the porters to hustle
down on Atlantic avenue and get the
highest kind of rubber shoes and an
umbrella that would turn water.
Others who either had foresight
the like, or secured them the day be-
fore. found upon reaching the board
walk as late as $780, that 1t was an

BorrQws From Landlady.
One young woman who borrowed rub
bers from her lardlady, a raincoat from
her side partner at the table, and a
cap from the head waitress, managed
to get on the boardwalk at Virginia
avenue.
She thought she could get along beau
tifully In quest of some Washington
friends at the Seaside, the Marlborough
Blenheim, and several places in that
vicinity. She got past one store in
safetG, when her foot slipped and she
nearly stood on her head.
Thoroughly tired and discouraged. she
hailed the first jitney and asked to be
driven to her hotel.
