In view OF the economic situa-

OF large sums for a Nicaraguan
canal at this time would be un-
wise.
Army engineers said all plans

natives as laborers and this would
not help American labor. Only the

gineers would be from the United

would cost approximately $780,

needed for the first years work.

Col. Sultan, who returned in
July with Is officers and PTS men

tuaily Panama canal traffic will
become so heavy as to make con-
s~truction OF the. Nicaraguan canal
necessary. He added. however.
there was little need for the water

The Nicaraguan route through
natural lakes and mountains Is
l73 miles long compared with the

The engineers are satisfied that
such a canal would not be subject

quakes prevalent in the region.

All due to the attack of Oxygen.
Think of it! Forty-ive to sixty-fve per cent
of the flavor gone from nine-day-old cof-
fee. Even vacuum packing, a definite i'm
provement over old fashioned methods,
removes only part of the air from the can,
leaving sealed in enough Oxygen to cause
flavor loss and deterioration.
The new Vita-Fresh Process removes the
air SO completely that the most rigid chem
ical analysis reveals no trace Of Oxygen in
the Vita-Fresh can after packing.
Remember-Oxygen is the destroyer of
coffee freshness and flavor. The Vita-Fresh
