Construction work on the Panama ca
nal will be rushed next year. Thirty
two millions, approximately, are to be
expended. Congressman James A.
Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the
committee on appropriations, Just re
turned from Tauama with seventeen
members of the committee, predicts
that the canal will be completed by
Dec. 31, 1014. "We found everything
going along In the most satisfactory
way," the Congressman declares.
"There may be a million cut off 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 cheaDl.v. 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
tesired."
t
In all the money centers of the coun
try, as well as In Wall street, the news
of the government's bond and 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 certiacates 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 8 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-
cleaning 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 PostofBce
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, whloh 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 ex
pensive.
The military authorities of the vari
ous governments have not overlooked
the Important part which airships will
probably play In the wars of the fu
ture, and are making active prepara
tions for both offensive and defensive
operations along this Hue. 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
Vrrny Balloon Corps.

HOME MADE MIXTURE
SAID TO BE INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY
PREPARED BY ANYONE.
(s Said to Promptly Relieve Backache and
Overcome Kidney Trouble and Blad
der Weakness Though Harmless
and Pleasant to Take.
What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from a New York daily papar, giving a
simple prescription, as formulated by a
noted authority, who claims that he
. has found a positive remedy to cure
almost any case of backache or kidney
or bladder derangement, in the follow
ing simple prescription, if taken before
the stage of Bright'a disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sareaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and
can be obtained at a small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up if asked to do
so. He further stated that while this
prescription is often prescribed in rheu
matic afflictions with splendid results,
he could see no reason why It would
not be a splendid remedy for kidney
and urinary tioubles and backache, as
it has a peculiar action upon the kid
ney structure, cleansing these meat im
; pcrtant organs and helping them to sift
' and filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sickness
and suffering. Those who suffer can
make no mistake in giving it a trial.

The popularity of the grape Juice
both as a beverage and a flavoring has
certainly Increased during the last few
years, says the New York Tribune.
Some women, who years ago began to
prepare It to use at communion instead
of fermented wine, have found It deli
cious In desserts, as well as a refresh
ing drink, made festive with sprigs of
mint and slices of lemon. ' Here are sev
eral good ways to prepare unfermented
grape Juice: Pick the grapes off the
stems, put them In a covered stone Jar
aud set the Jar in a pot of boiling wa
ter. Let the water boil around the Jar
for half an hour, or until the grapes
are well cooked. Strain the Juice from
the grapes and let it stand In a cool
place over night In the morning bring
the Juice to the boiling point and let It
boil for twenty minutes. Add sugar to
suit the taste. Fill heated fruit Jars to
the brim and seal tightly. This rule is
an old Tribune recipe and Is very rich,
as no water is used when cooking the
grapes. N it should be diluted with a
little Ice water when used as a beverage.
Here Is a rule for unfermented grapv
Juice in which water Is used : Pick over
the grapes, rejecting all unsound ones.
Put In a porcelain lined kettle and al
most cover with cold water. Heat
slowly, mashing the grapes and cooking
until all the Juice is out. Drain In a
Jelly bag and measure the liquid,
adding one-third of a cupful of granu
lated sugar for each quart Boil for
four minutes, then bottle and seal.
The following recipe was sent by a
Tribune subscriber some time ago. Its
special advantage is that the measure
ments are exact and little is left to
one's Judgment, an advantage which a
young or . Inexperienced preserver will
appreciate :
"To twelve quarts of grapes, stemmed
and washed, add three pints of water.
Boll them In a porcelain lined kettle
until soft; strain and to every three
quarts of Juice add a pound of sugar.
Heat to the boiling point and seal in
air-tight cans."
An bid housewife who has had much
experience In making grape Juice for
church purposes gives the following
points, which may be of use to those
who have had little experience. She
says that she finds cheesecloth the best
thing for straining the Juice and that if
the stems of the grapes are left on the
Juice seems to strain out better, as they
break up the thick mass of cooked
grapes, making it less compact She
uses ordinary glass fruit Jars. She
puts them In a pan of hot water with
hot water in them and a granite pie
plate on the stove with water in it.
Stand one hot Jar, empty, at a time on
the pie plate ; put its rubber ring on It.
Fill to overflowing with boiling hot
Juice; seal at once as tightly as possl
bla Before you put away the Jars test
them by carefuly turning them upside
down. If Juice begins to exude put the
contents Into the preserving kettle
again. Try another top and fill to over
flowing with water from the tea kettle.
If, when' filling the Jars, there Is not
quite enough Juice for the last Jar, al
ways fill up with ordinary boiling wa
ter until It overflows. This last Jar
will not be quite so rich In quality as
the others, but it will keep, as It would
not were the Jar not completely full.
Do not put the Jars where there Is a
possibility of their freezing, but keep
In a cold place.

Fear Ktlla Efficiency.
Some people are always suffering
from this peculiar phase of fear. They
are apprehensive that some great mis
fortune is coming to them, that they
are going to lose their money or their
position ; or they are afraid of accident,
or that some fatal disease Is developing
in them. If their children are away
they see them In all sorts of catastro
phies railroad wrecks, burning cars, or
shipwrecks. They are always picturing
the worst. "You never, can tell what
will happen," they say, "and It Is better
to prepare for the worst."
The man who lives under this terri
ble shadow of Impending danger, with
this dread, that something is going to
happen to his business, his family, or
himself, Is In no condition to ward .off
the evil before which he cowers. Ills
mental attitude lowers his vitality, les
sens his powers of resistance, vitiates
his efficiency, and ruins his resourceful
ness. Success Magazine.
CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON
NO L1MTT0 ITS POWERS FOR EVIL
Contagious Blood Poison Las brought more suffering:, misery and humilaJ
don into the world than all otter diseases combined ; there is hardly any
limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of all disordera,
wrecking the lives of those unfortunate enough to contract it aud often being
transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of suffering and shame.
So highly contagious i3 the trouble that innocent persons may contract it
by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whose
blood the treacherous virus has taken root. -Not only i3 it a powerful poison
but a very deceptive one. t)uly those who have learned 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 bo5y, and in severe cases the
finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous system is shat
tered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow luan. 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 for
a while, aud the victim is deceived into the belief that he is cured. When,
however, the treatment is left off he finds that the poison has only been driven
deeper into.the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form
because these strong minerals have not ouly failed to remove the virus from
the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destructives
action. S. S. S. is she ouly real and certain cure for Contagious Blood Pol
son. It is made of a combination of healing blood-purifying roots, herbs
and barks, the best in Nature's great laboratory of forest and field. We
offer a reward of $1,000 for proof that S. S. S. contains a particle of mineral
in any form. S. S. S. goes down to the.
very bottom of the trouble and by cleansing
the blood of every particle of the virus anq
adding rich, health! ul qualities to this vital
fluid, forever cures this powerful disorder.
So thoroughly does S. S. S. cleanse the
circulation that no signs of the disease are
ever seen airain, and offsprin? is protected.
Write for our special book on Contagious Blood Poison, which fully ex
plains the different stages of the trouble, and outlines. a complete home treat
