Construction work on the Panama .
nal will be rushed next year. Thirty
two millions, approximately, are to be
expended. Congressman James A.
Tawney of Minnesota, chnlrman of tba
committee on appropriations', Just re
turned from Panama with seventeen
members of the committee, predicti
that the canal will be completed by
Dec. 81, 1914. "We found everything
going along In the most satisfactory
way," the Congressman declare
"There may be a million cut oil the
sum of $32,000,000 asked for construc
tion, although demands In the main
have been modest Reductions will be
asked In only a few departments. "So
cial conditions there are better gener
ally than among the workmen of the
United States. Workmen are well
cared for and satisfied. We found the
employes, clerical, medical and engin
eering, were paid 50 per cent more
than at home, while quarters are fur
nished. A single man gets a room ;
married men a house. Canal men are
paid one-third more than at home, and
they can live more chcuply. The gov
ernment sells them supplies at a lower
rate than home prices. Ice water and
light are cheaper than In New York.
Sanitary conditions are all that can be
leslred."
In all the money centers of the cowi
try, as well as In Wall street, the news
of the government's bond aud note Is
sues caused a feeling of relief and the
financial skies were clearing. Every
where bankers were eager to get the
new securities and there was no need
of an underwriting syndicate. Many
sent telegrams of congratulation to the
President and Secretary Cortelyou.
Subscriptions to both Issues have al
ready begun to pour In. Nevertheless
Chicago s clearing house carried out Its
project of Issuing certificates In denom
inations of $1, $2, $5 and ?10, and over
$3,000,000 In these were eagerly
grabbed for current business needs. At
New York quantities of currency
brought 2 and 3 per cent on the curb.
But at the same time arrangements
were In progress for a resumption of a
cash basis all over" the country. The
Indictment of three officials of the Bor
ough Bank of Brooklyn for false re
ports of the bank's condition was taken
as another sign of the financial house
"leaning In progress.
Three railroad companies, the Atch
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe, St Louis
and San Francisco, and the Missouri
Pacific, have absolutely declined to
comply with an order of the Postofflce
Department that for the next forty
days these roads should carry empty
mall bags and other mall equipment
back to the distribution centers with
out compensation therefor. The reason
for this order was a desire to prevent
a tie-up or congestion of mall during
and Just preceding the holidays. To
this end, It was thought that It would
be well to have the equipment trans
ferred more speedily than can be done
by freight, which is the method pro
vided. While there is some doubt as
to the right of the department to en
force Its order, the law permits the use
of the express companies for the pur
pose in question, which would meet the
emergency, though proving rather expensive.
The military authorities of the van
ous governments have not overlooked
the Important part which alrshlns will
probably play In the wars of the fu
ture, aud are making active prepara
tions for both offensive and defensive
operations along this line. It Is re
ported that Captain Thomas T. Love
lace, the aeronaut, recently made a bal
loon trip over the walls of Fort Wads
worth, New York Harbor, and took a
series of bird's-eye photographs of the
fortifications, showing the entire prac
ticability of obtaining Information In
this way. This material was turned
over to the War Department, and It is
Intimated that the aeronaut will be giv
en a commission In the United States
Army Balloon Corps.
Developments In regard to the pend
ing prosecutions of the whisky dealers
for violation of the pure food law Indi
cate that the question as to what
should be construed as pure whisky
was finally decided by President Roose
velt to whom the matter was taken by
Dr. Wiley, chemist of the Department
of Agriculture. The President con
curred with the chemist In the opinion
that to meet the requirements of the
law the whisky must be tbe pure spir
its, unmixed with neutral spirits, fla
voring or coloring matter, which pro
duce the article called "blended
whisky."

NO LIMIT TO ITS POWERS FOR EVIL
Contagious Blood Poison lias brought more suffering, misery and humila
dion Into the world than all other diseases combined ; there is hardly any
limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of all disorders,
wrecking the livesof those unfortunate enough to contract it and often being
transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of Buffering and shame.
So highly contagious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it
by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whoso
blood the treacherous virus has taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison
but a very deceptive one. Only those who liavelcarued by bitter experience
know by the little sore or ulcer, which usually makes its appearance first, of
the suffering which is to follow. It comes in the form of ulcerated mouth,
and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands in the groin,
falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, and in severe cases tha
finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous 6ystem is shat
tered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. Especi
ally is the treacherous nature of Contagious Blood Poison, shown when the
Infected person endeavors to combat the poison with mercury and potash.
These minerals will drive away all outward symptoms of the troubles fo
a while, and the victim is deceived into the belief that lie is cured. When,
however.the treatment is leftoff hefindsthat the poisonhas only been driven
deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form
because these strong minerals have not only failed to remove the virus from
the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destructive
action. S. S. S. is she only real and certain cure for Contagious Blood Poi
son. It i3 made of a combination of healing blood-purifying roots, herbs
and barks, the best in Nature's great laboratory of forest nnd field. We
Offer a reward of $1,000 for proof that S. S. S. contains a particle of mineral
m any lonn. t. a. H. goes down to the
very bottom of the trouble and by cleansing
the blood of every particle of the virus and
adding rich, healthful qualities to this vital
fluid, forever cures thi3 powerful disorder.
So thoroughly does S. S. S. cleanse the
circulation that no signs of the disease are
