factories of New York, it certainly
would be worth while.
"It is amazing that the Susque-
hanna, which was once used extern
sively for transportation purposes,
has been permitted to slumber as
dead as door nail so far as it
might be useful as medium of
transportation to the E-a. What is
the matter with the river? 1t is one
of the most picturesque in the world
Transportation critics find fault
with it because it is rocky, yet rocks
have been overcome in other rivers
and to get around rapids such eN-
penditures have been made by the
government on such rivers as the
Columbia as would put the great
burden bearing river Delaware to
shame.
II have not time now to look
up all the details, but l am send
ing you some material on the sub
ject. l think the best efforts of
all the commercial bodies along the
Susquehanna river should be put
forward to aid the United States
Army engineers in determining
whether it would be worth while
for the government to undertake
the improvement of our magnificent
midstate stream. Bear in mind that
this is no local project. The river
rises in New York, courses through
Pennsylvania, spreading it's arms in
every direction, and bisects the State
of Maryland, emptying into one of
the most magnificent bays in the
whole world, the Chesapeake. which
leads to the ocean and to waters
north and south that would make
barge traffic possible from the city
of Harrisburg to all points north
and south along the Atlantic coast,
and would give Harrisburg direct
water communication with cities
like New York and Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Norfolk.
II will not discuss freight rates

ment. BY means of survey the
War Department will be able to
report to Congress whether the i'm
provement of the river is feasible or
eXpedient from the Federal view
point. Those conducting the sur
vey must necessarily get their in
formation from the people along
the route. The businessmen and
shippers can help materially in this
regard | assume the engineers will
be quick to note the rocky condi-
tion of the river and the very great
cost of dredging or blasting. Some
obstructionists have contended that
the project of improvement would
be made ridiculous because of these
supposed insurmountable difficulties.
But every man who has studied the
waterways situation knows that

been asserted that coal could be
gotten out of Pennsylvania by water
a dollar less per ton than it can be
transported by rail. And yet the
improvement of the Susquehanna
for coal-carrying purposes need not
unduly interfere with or minimize
the importance of railroad trans
portation. 1t would. in fact, tend
to facilitate it, while 1t would also
give to the community two means of
transportation where it now has but
one.

ed about the government survey.

step, looking toward an improve

such problems are met in another
way; that canalization takes the
place of dredging and that the
utilization of slack water behind
dams will provide navigation. Put
locks in the dam to McCalrs Ferry
so boats can go through, and build
few more dams along the Sus-
quehanna backing up the water over
the rocks, and Harrisburg would he

these things. and that their report
will depend LARGELY upon the evil

presented and the estimated cost
of improvement.

What Is The Cause Of

Backache is perhaps the most common
ailment from which women suffer. Rarely
do you find anybody free from it. Some.
Tires the cause is obscure, but DIR. Pierce,
OF Buffalo, N. Y, a high medical authority,
says the cause is very often q form Of
catarrh that settles in the delicate mem
branes of the feminine organs. When
these organs are infamed, the first symp
tom is backache, accompanied by bearing
doWF sensations, weakness, unhealthy dis.
charges, irregularity, painful periods, irri
tation, headache and a general rundown
condition. Any Woman In this condition
Is to be pitied, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is a separate and dis
tinct medicine for women. 1t is made Of
roots and herbs put up without alcohol Oh

nothing else in his prescription. Favorite
Prescription is q natural remedy for wo-
men, for the vegetable growths of which it
s made seem to have been intended by
Nature for that very purpose. Thousands
OF girls and women, young and old, have
taken it, and thousands have written
grateful letters to DR.. Pierce saying it
Hnade them veil. In taking Favorite Pre-
scription, it is reassuring tc know that it
goes straight to the cause of the trouble.

What had caused Blanche orion

been something said about her and

something's to her. Neil always talked
more when he had been drinking.

when he had been INDUCING himself.
He never showed it in any other way.
