WAY OUT OF PANAMA CANAL
TOLLS.
Neither the public nor its ser
vants at Washington should allow
domestic problems of importance
to obscure the fact that import
ant controversies with foreign pow
ers await settlement already too
long deferred, declares the Chris
tian Science Monitor. With Great
Britain, Russia and Japan the Uni
ted States is at iseuo on matters
of Importance, matters not to be
treated as insignificant, because
not fundamental. One may believe
implicitlv all that officials of the
British government have said re
cently about desire for enduring
amity with the United States felt
by Great Britain, and at the same
tim© understand that dissent and
reseutment arising from the Amer
ican government's determination to
discriminate j on Panama tolls, can
hardly fail to lessen the disposi
tion of Britons to aid the United
States in some of its present com
plications with foreign powers.
There are so many reasons why
such fritndship as the two peoples
have now maintained for many
years should be strengthened rath
er than weakened that congress, fo
purely tactical if no' higher motives,
should face the problem of ad
justing the caual tolls in a mood
of conciliation. The present, in the
light of complications with Mexico
and other nations adjacent to the
canal, is no time to force needless
ly upon European powers consider
ation of their present and future at
titude to the historic claim of the
United States of hegemony 011 the
two continents. Events over which
the United States can have 110 con
trol are forcing this process. Why
hasten it. by provocative action at
Washington?
There is a way out of the caual
toll controversy which will end ov
erseas resentment and at the
same time not involvs national re
treat, and that is by collection of a
uniform rate from vessels of all
nations. If the United States will
compute all the tonnage of the
Panama canal and apportion the
rate to all nations who use it, no
one can then dispute the rights of
the U. S. tc permit her own ships
to have free use of the canal. The
United States must settle for the
maintenance from her own treasury,
and the exemptions granted United
States ships must come only after
a computation of all tonnage, in
cluding that of the United States,
has given a pro rata charge.
Race Extinction Threatened; Whole
Standard of Civilization Will
Have to Change
By the Rev. NEWELL DWIGHT HILL1S. Congregation?] Clergy
man, Brooklyn, N. Y.
The time has passed when we can say that race de
generacy IS SIMPLY A BUGABOO CREATED UV PESSIMISTS
AND ALARMISTS. THE FACT IS THAT A TIDE CF DEGENER
ACY IS ROLLING IN UPON US, AND THE TIME HAS COME TO
RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT UNLESS DRASTIC MEASURES ARE
TAKEN THE WHOLE STANDARD OF CIVILIZATION WILL HAVE TO
CHANGE IN ORDER TO AVERT RACE EXTINCTION.
The wise man always studies the signs of his time. Our experts are
our physicians and scientists who have had an opportunity for observa
tion. The English author. Professor Watt Smith, tells me that in 1S13
the English standard for admission to the army was six v'eet. in 1 S4.=>
the standard was dropped to five feet six inches, in 1SS.'! it rus lowered
to five feet three inches and in 1901 to five feet. The c-oninvssion of the
English government appointed to study tlii- subject says:

years I suffered from kidney trouble
brought on by heavy lifting. My
back was weak and ached con

were unnatural and passed too fre

times at night. I had headaches an

it was only a short time before the

Purola Dyspepsia Tablets Will
Quickly Put the Stomach In
Shape.
When the stomach fails to do its
work properly the whole machine
of man is unstrung and wholly in
capable of work. This condition
obtains from the tiniest nerve to
the big strong -jumping heart.
It is u wise law of nature that
has mado the stomach man's strong
est organ, but when It stops work
man ought to realize that it does so
because it can continue no longer.
Purola Dyspepsia Tablets will
certainly give the stomach the re
pair it needs and is always crying
aloud for.
A tablet taken after each meal
will in the course of several hours
become a portion o" the digestive
fluids. It will build uu these fluids.
First in the stomach, then in
the intestines.
The liver is the storehouse of the
body. Here are assembled all the
reserve fluids of the system and
here the various ingredients of Dys
pepsia Tablets mingle with the
faulty natural juices and strength
en them, or if they are too strong
then they will be reduced to their
proper strength and proportion.
Purola Dyspepsia Tablets con
tain a single ingredient, one grain
of which is sufficient to digest
3,000 grains of food. Just think
how gratefully such an element is
received into a body that cannot
digest at all without a new weaken
ing of the already depleted juices.
Go to Keller Bros. Drug Co this
very day and obtain a box of Purola
Dyspepsia Tablets, price 50 cents. A
week's trial will make you a new
man and your r.tomach will go
back to work.
