Headache
For Years
"I keep Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain
Pills on hand all the time, and
■would not think of taking a
journey without them, no mat
ter how short a distance l am
going. 1 have a sister that has
had terrible headaches fur Years, i
and I coaxed her to try them
and they helped her so much,
she now keeps them 1>\ her all
the time. from my own exper
ience I cannot praise them
enough.”
MRS. LOU M. CHURCHILL, 1

Many persons have headache
after any little excitement or ex
ertion. 1 hey cannot attend
church, lectures, entertainments,
or ride on trains without suffer
ing. Those who suffer in this
way should try Dr. Miles’ Anti
Pain Pills. They give almost
instant relief without leaving
any disagreeable after-effects, as
they do not derange the stomach
or bowels; just a pleasurable
sense of relief follows their use.

A HOLIDAY IN HISTORIC PANAMA
N
ewarl
Lady Writes Interesting Account of Sights
Holiday Trip Across the Isthmus in Canal Zone
>cen
on
Dear Journal:-If you will ailov
me space, I will write a few mori
lines in regard to this country.
As a rule we cannot get ou
when work is being prosecuted or
the canal, except on holidays, am
then everyone has a holiday am
are out sight-seeing too, so a larg<
per centage of the population o
the Canal Zone are on the movt
on such occasions. For this rea
son it is not easy for one to sei
very much of the work in opera
tion except what is going on ir
the near vicinity.
The Fourth of July is our gr eat
est holiday, so Mr. Brown and 1
decided we would cross the conti
nent (isthmus) twice in one day
and at the same time see a few
sights in t ie cities of Colon and
Panama, the cities at the east and
west ends of the canal.
I had never visited the cemetery
in Panama, and this was most in
teresting to me. The dead are
only temporary tenants of their
graves. The city has a number of
cemeteries, but the system of tem
porary tenancy prevents any cal
culation of the number of past oc
cupants. When a cemetery be
comes crowded, the coffins are
taken out, the bones shaken out
in a heap and the empty recep
tacles are again offered for sale or
hire. The cemetery is in the form
of a quadrangle, surrounded by
walls containing three tiers of
bovedas (vaults) just large enough
to accommodate one coffin, and
are sold permanently or are rented
for a term of eighteen months.
After the coffin is deposited, the
opening is sealed with a slab or
cement and brick, and, if perma
nently secured, a memorial tablet
is generally placed in front. Those
rented have the date when lease
expires clearly marked on them,
and when the rent becomes due
again, if not paid, the contents are
thrown out, just as a living tenant
would be done by a harsh landlord.
Those who are buried in the en
closure fare no better than those
in the sepulchers, as they do not
hesitate to make a new grave
where an old one may have been.
Laborers were at work digging a
grave while we were there, and
we saw a skull and several bones
that had been unearthed.
But this custom of disturbing
the dead is confined to the natives
only. It has been the custom in
Spanish countries, for ages, to
“let” the right to conduct a cem
etery to the highest bidder, just
as one would be granted the privi
lege of running a gambling estab
lishment, and it may truly Ire said
that “graft” extends even to the
grave in Spanish countries.
About seven miles east of Pana
ma can still be seen a few of the
ruins of old Panama, or “Panama
the Golden,” as it was called at
the time it was destroyed by the
Buccaneers under Morgan in the
year 1070. It wa*, at that time,
the largest and richest city in the
western hemisphere. The city
contained twelve thousand or more
buildings, with many grand man
sions. There were eight monas
teries and a magnificent hospital.
The wealthy inhabitants lived in
the greatest luxury and the poorei
natives were their slaves. The
wealth and prosperty of Panama
was the envy of all the world.
But today one must look for the
ruins of “Panama the Golden”
amidst the rank growth of a trop
ical jungle, among which may be
seen the towering ruins of St.
Augustine, with its many under
ground passages and catacombs.
It is supposed that a good deal
of treasure remains buried beneath
the old ruins, and one frequently
set s where the treasure-seeker hs^
been digging. It is said that any
person who enters one of these
underground passages is taken
with a deadly fever from which
they never recover, but as we
have never made any explorations
along tins line, 1 am unable to
verify this statement.
The destruction of this great
r city was complete, but the plunder
■ secured by the pirates was much
less than they had anticipated, as
; a great deal had been hidden in
i places of safety. But several ves
I sels put to sea laden with proper
I ty and with the king’s treasure.
> The amount of gold and treasure
secured was sufficient to load a
train of thirty-live donkeys, but
the pirates fell out among them
i selves, and Morgan got only a
small amount of the spoil.
The present city of Panama was
built with a view to defense, but
the glory of old Panama was at
tained by its successor. All the
old buildings and churches of Pan
ama were designed for use as forts
in case of need. Many of the
walls in these buildings are three
feet thick and have massive doors,
often iron-clad, with windows only
in the upper story, the windows
standing sixteen to twenty feet
from the ground. This precaution
saved the city from capture short
ly after its foundation by another
force of Buccaneers in which Capt.
Dam pier took part.
Much of interest could be said
of the churches of Panama, many
I of the older ones now being in
ruins. After visiting a few of
j these old churches and viewing the
beautiful Bay of Panama from the
sea-wall, or fort, we proceeded to
re-cross the isthmus.
Balboa mountain, the most in
teresting point between Panama
; and Colon, is situated about six
| miles from the railroad, and can
be seen from several stations along
the line, and, except when clothed
in cloud or rain, can always be
seen from our back veranda. It
is a fact that both the Atlantic and
Pacific are visible from this moun
tain. It is claimed that this is the
point from which Balboa discover
ed the Pacific ocean, and it is
named after the great discoverer.
In crossing the isthmust, one is
always impressed with the beauti

ful scenery, the vegetation and the
many kinds of tropical fruits.
Among the fruits of this season,
are the bread fruit, which we have
eaten and found delicious, the ba
nanu and plantain, which arc al
ways in bearing, oranges, lemons,
limes and many others of lesser
value. The bread fruit is as large
as pineapples, round and rough in
appearance and grows on large
trees.
It requires about two and one
half hours for a crowded train to
cross the isthmus on holidays. We
arrived in Colon and Cristobol in
time to see many of the exercises,
which consisted of various atheletic
sports, boat races, etc., and at
night fireworks.
We have about nine holidays
each year, seven American and
two Panamanian. Work on the
great canal is progressing in fine
style. Another section near us
has been completed, and the
Chagtes river now flows through
it.
Think I have written enough
for this time. Yours truly,
