4 FORTS FOR CANAL f Elaborate Plans for Guarding Great Panama Ditch. Twenty-Five Millions Estimated Cost of Defenses—Evans and Others Helped in Designing Protec-tion-Pay Clerks Better. Washington—The proposed expenditure of $14,104,203 for the fortification of the Panama canal refers not only to “seacoast defenses for the termini of the canal/’ but is also planned to provide “means of defending the portions of the canal other than the termini from attacks to which these portions might be subjected by forces Operating on land with the object either of getting possession of the canal or of injuring the locks, dams, etc.” Twentydive million dollars is a conservative estimate of what the final plans for the combined seacoast and land defenses will call for, but, 4s experience has shown the actual expendIff --nV? /yi '-''J; ■: s' tgl ■ Baßßy wT W / ' J Admiral Evans. Itures on construction work in Pa nama to be at least double the-original estimates, It is probable that the 'total cost of the fortifications will be r earer $40,000,000 than $14,000,000. The sea/oast defenses now being urged by/President Taft comprise the following armament: Ten 14-inch rifles six-inch rifles, 28 12-lnch mortar/ besides an elaborate system of m submarine defenses. y Six of the 14-inch rifles —the most powerful and costly guns in the world, will be emplaced in pairs on the Pacific coast and four on the Atlantic, likewise in pairs. Although the greatest secrecy is maintained concerning the fortfieation plans’ it is known that the main fort defending the Pacific entrance will be built on Sosa Hill and armed with four 14-inch rifles, six six-inch rifles and eight 12-inch mortars. 'This fort will be named Fort Amador, after th s first president of the Republic of Panama.. Two other 14-inch rifles will be emplaced on Ancon Hill, with similar artillery, and the Islands of Naos and Perico, in the Bay of Panama, will alsq be fortified with the object of enabling an American fleet to pass through the canal and form in line of on the Pacific side, outside the range of any gun on a ship that can come within range of the guns on the Islands, which, in turn will be protected and commanded by the guns pn Sosa and Ancon Hills. This plan was adopted to meet the objection of Admiral Evans, who pointed out that no matter what fortifications were built, the ships of a fleet passing through the canal would have to come out. one by one and that “it would be impossible for a fleet to pass from one ocean to another if there were a hostile fleet awaiting it; the Hostile fleet could destroy the vessels is they came out.” ! Furthermore the original plans for the Pacific entrance of the canal have been entirely changed for strategic ■easons. The locks were to have been i built at Sosa, thus affording the greatest possible convenience to commer?ial shipping, but Colonel Goethals has moved them several miles inland to a sheltered position at Miraflores, where they are comparatively safe from the Sre of any warships in Panama ;bay. The defenses on the Atlantic side will consist of two twin emplacements ?f 14-inch rifles, each reinforced by six-inch rifles and 12-inch mortairs; so :hat there will be practically four forts in all —two on the Pacific and two on *fhe Atlantic side. — - As on both the Atlantic and Pacific sides, approach to the mouths of the canal is only possible for large ships through a dredged channel 500 feet ; wide extending three miles out to sea, the protection of these channels by submarine mines is easy. On the Pacific side it is also intended to mine the passages between the islands in the Bay of Panama so as to prevent in enemy’s ships from taking refuge behind them. WOULD PAY CLERICS BETTER. Brig. Gen. Charles H. Whipple, paymaster general of the army, is a strong and consistent advocate for increased pay and retired pay for the » ’

classified employes of the government. In his annual report to the secretary of war he renews the recommendations in that line contained in his last two preceding reports. After calling attention to the fact that no change or increase has been made In the salaries of the clerks in his office since 1870, he says: “To my mind the clerks are unquestionably deserving of an increase, primarily for the character of the duties which they perform, and, secondarily, to meet the steadily increasing cost of living. Statistics show- that since 1896 there has been, an approximate increase of 50 per cent; in the cost of living, and that mercantile, commercial and other business ■ corporations have recognized/he necessity for paying higher salaries ‘ and granted Increases accordingly. j According to Paymaster General Whipple the sum of $45,632,948 was disbursed during the past fiscal yeai for the pay of the army and the Military academy, for expenses of the Army War college, for expenses of the Brownsville court of inquiry and for the payment of the organized militia. During the same period the sum of $75,583 was disbursed to the beneficiaries of 17 officers and 306 enlisted men, who died from wounds or diseases not the result of their own misconduct, under the provisions of the act of congress approved May 11, 1908. i For the genral welfare for the pay ! department, General Whipple recommends the enactment of legislation j providing that all grades in that department above that of captain be made .permanent, and that promotions to major be made from the captains, i who have served details in the depart; | merit and who have shown the great- ; est proficiency in their Work. By esI tablishing a permanency in the field , I officers, he says the pay department • can reach and maintain a state of ,es- I ficienpy hot possible under the present i law. ’ ■ He says also that the pay depart- ■ ment for many years lias been con- i stantly confronted with the problem 1 of maintaining an efficient fcrec of paymasters’ clerks. .Res’gm tion after • resignation has occurred, due to the i fact that civil life offers a broader ■ and more remunerative field for ex- j pert hccountants. It is only by giv- j ing that force an appropriate military i status and conferring upon them pay j and emoluments commensurate with i the nature of the duties which they perform, he says, that the pay department can hope to acquire permanency in Hat important branch of its service. An evidence of the thrift of Uncle ; Sam’s soldiers is shown in a table | prepared, by the paymaster general, giving a history of soldiers’ deposits ' since the passage of the act authorizing them, May 15, 1872. The total deposits amount to $34,779,134. Os that amount $3,840,730 remains in the hands of army paymasters to the ; credit of the depositors. In addition I to the repayment of $30,938,405, the ■ depositors received interest to the ’ amount of $2,025,162. During the past i fiscal year the sum of $1,879,470 was ! deposited by 66,423 soldiers. There ■ has been a slight Increase in thq. num- i ber of depositors and in the amount -I of their deposits since the year 1902. T The banner year in the history of the ; fund 004 depositors and $3,438,520 deposits. I CITIES’ WONDERFUL GROWTH. It is evident from the returns of the past few weeks that the cities, in the ! census of 1910, are to make a large on the rural part of the country. Detroit- has made a wonderful gain in the past ten years, having fa present population of 465,766, an increase of 63 per cent, over 1900. This is by far the largest growth yet reported in any big city. Houston’s increase was 76 per cent,, but Houston is but a small town in the comparison, having only 78,000 people. Although Pittsburg led Detroit in 1900, I and annexed Allegheny since then, De- | troit is far ahead of it now. In 1790, when the first national census was taken, there were only six cities in the United States of 8,000 inhabitants and over. This number had advanced I to 141 cities in 1860. It was 545 In I’9oo. It will probably be close to 600 in 1910. In 1790 .the cities contained 3.3 pei cent, of the country’s aggregate population. They had f 6.1 per cent, of It in 1860, and 33.1 per cent, in 1900, The ratio will probably bp 35 per cent, or more when the figures for this year are made up. The country’s aggregate increase in inhabitants was a little less than 21 per cent, in the decade ending with 1900. Although a far greater number was added to the total by immigration in the past ten years than in the previous decade, the aggregate gain will probably not exceed 21 per cent., and may fall a little short pf that figure. But the gain in the cities will, on the average, be far above that mark. It will probably be above 30 per cent. Cincinnati increased only 11 per cent. ! in the past ten years, and Albany only i 6 per cent. Baltimore’s gain is not likely to be more than 12 or 14 per cent. That of New Orleans will also . be’small. In the aggregate, however, the cities will make a large relative increase over the*, farming regions. However, while the increase for the country as a whole will fall far short of the 35 per cent, of some previous decades, it will be found that we have added about 25,000,000 to our population in the decade, and that, too, without acquiring any new territory. This is a larger number of people than are in Spain and Portugal; combined. It is about half as many! as are in the entire area of LatinAmerica, from the Rio Grande and the northerly line of the Gujf of Mexico down to Cape Horn 4

IDEAS FOR FROCKS TO GIVE LOOK OF HEIGHT IN SEMI-PRINCESS. I Dainty Laces and Embroideries Used for Garnishing Make Garment Ten Per Cent. More Becoming— A Practical Wash Suit. For fine muslins and swisses which seem worthy of the expense, a look of height is given a semi-princess frock with double skirt by carrying down 'the front a splendid trimming of a •suitable nature. If this striking I A" I -p Im fU'./iL'' L M 'iffa fill - decoration is repeated.at the bottom ’ of the double flounces of the skirt the effect is very good, and it goes with- , out saying that the dainty laces and j embroideries used for this garnishing make a frock ten per cent, more ; becoming. For costumes designed chiefly for I service, yet which must be pretty and ! becoming, a get-up of shirt waist and short plaited skirt is much tothe fore,

NEW SKIRTS MUST BE SHORT Trains Are Almost Obsolete, but Will Be Worn by Some Who Refuse to Give Them Up. The new skirts are short, even in afternoon and evening gowns of the most formal character. Trains are almost obsolete, but they will always be worn to a certain extent, for some i I women refuse to give them up. ; Where they are used at all they are short and narrow. The prettiest ! length skirt comes just to the instep. Few women can wear anything short■er successfully. All the skirts are narrow and short, but no one single type prevails. For tailored suits the skirts are either gored or circular or partially plaited. In niore pretentious suits of velvet,, cashmere, prunelie cloths, etc., the skirt drawn into a band at the bottom is very popular, but one still sees tunics of all kinds over plain or plaited underskirts. In reception gowns and evening dresses one material is usually veiled with another, and the skirts are of infinite variety' of cut. —The Delineator. Care of Bead Fringes. Gowns adorned with the new bead fringes will need more than ordinary care or the beauty of these garnitures will soon be marred by spaces occupied only by fluttering threads. So 1 great is the propensity of these fringes for catching on anything and everything in their vicinity that in the shops they are often kept sewed lin strips, of cheesecloth. This is a wise precaution to take unless the gowns are kept entirely covered when not in use. There is never greater danger of disaster than when two or more fringed gowns are hung together without any protective coverings, for the neighboring fringes are sure to try to prove the natural perversity of inanimate objects by becoming inextricably tangled up with each other. Bushy, irregular eyebrows should be brushed lightly with a camel’s-hair brush dipped in olive oil. The same treatment is good for stiff and harsh eyebrows and it is said to make them grow.

every available wash material being used for the skirt and the bodice matching or in a contrasting texture. Or the practical wash suit may have a suggestion of the Russian blouse which is so favored by French makers, with the tunic pieces crossed at the front and separated at the back by a full length skirt plait Embroidered batiste, swiss, mercerized lawn, dimity and figured muslin are all appropriaate materials for the very feminine little frocks illustrated, and if daintily made in any one of theese textures, with the lace or embroidery that would go with it there would be scarcely any function which the dress might not grace. The model would do as well for a non-washable material of a soft and simple nature, such as veiling, marquisette, tussah, foulard and messaline. The dress is in two pieces, a bodice fastened at the back and a skirt in three ? flounces, tucked at the edge. A gored foundation©, fitted to the hips and not too wide at the bottom, is required for the attachment of the flounces, and these last must, besides, be scant for the dress to have the up-to-date stamp. With muslin 32 inches wide the medium figure would need 2% yards for the bodice and yards for the skirt. The pretty collarless guimpe and under sleeves call for % of a yard of goods 18 inches wide. Separate Waists for Autumn. “It is a happy bit of news to most women that fashion is not only approving but emphasizing the vogue of .the separate waist for autumn,” says Grace Margaret Gould in Woman's Home Companion. “The costume blouse will divide honors with the shirt-waist and women the world over will be glad. The versatility of the separate waist, as far as usefulness goes, is well known, and this coming season it will add to its practical and economical qualities an unusual measure of good looks. In the guise of a costume blouse it will lend its charm and effectiveness to the plain tailored suit, making it appropriate for many varied occasions.” Latest in Petticoats. Dress underskirts are of fine muslin or batiste. Lace is more used in trimming than embroidery, all trimmings being neat rather than elaborate. Allover embroidery, cambric, cluny, torchon and honiton edgings and insertions are best. Under wash dresses, colored lawn, chambray and batiste petticoats are most popular. These are embroidered in white, with white lace insertions and colored ribbon beadings. Among novelties are white muslin petticoats with a flounce reaching to the knees, embroidered in color and finished with a beading run with ribbon of the same shade.

A RARE SHEEP OPPORTUNITT Enormous Receipts at Market—Fan* era and Sheep Feeders Can Stook Up at Bargain Pricea. CAUSES OF THE RUN. 200,000 sheep and lambs received tn three days—such, In round numbers, is the record-breaking run thus far this week oh the Chicago market! This enormous over-marketing of sheep is the result of temporary and peculiar causes, and offers a rare opportunity for fanners and sheep feeders to stook up at bargain prices. This great rush of sheep to market comes mainly from Montana and adjoining western range country, and cannot last more than two or three weeks longer. It is no evidence of over-production. Its principal causes I are the recent drought, which so ; burned out the grass that there will be very little winter feed on the range, and which prevented the putting up of sufficient hay to carry any considerable number of sheep over winter, while last winter was a very severe one and hay was so closely fed that there is no old hay left over for the purpose. The consequence is that sheep owners are forced to market the bulk of their sheep this fall, o* else lose them in the fierce storms of winter. The most serious cause of the present general liquidation, however, is the restriction of the range through occupation and fencing by dry farmers, who are grain growers, and not live stock raisers. The tremendous rush of these settlers upon the range within the last three years, and especially within the last twelve months, is hard for eastern people to realize. It is not alone the area actually enclosed by these settlers, but the breaking up thereby of vast regions of i grazing lands Into such small sections ' that they are no longer available to stockmen for grazing their flocks, which is one of the main reasons why the sheep supplies of the western range country are being more closely marketed this year than ever before in the history of the trade. This means an Inevitable shortage at market later on and next year, afld with a constantly growing demand for both mutton and wool, it would seem that future good prices are assured. The western range country has heretofore been the chief source of sheep market supplies, but unless the farmers of the com belt begin at once to raise many more sheep than they i have ever done before, there will be j a great scarcity of both mutton and wool before long In this country. Moreover, there Is a world-shortage ; of live stock of all kinds. All Europe 1s short of sheep, and even Australia’s supply is declining with rapidity. The same general causes that exist in this country are operating in other countries also. Populations are growing 1 rapidly everywhere, while grazing areas are being reduced. As pasture land is turned to production of cereals, [ sheep raising declines. Thousands of American farmers can i turn this situation to their benefit, j through increase of both soli fertility and money profit, by beginning right now each to keep a small flock of sheep upon his farm. And by taking I advantage of the present opportunity I to buy healthy, thrifty, growing western range sheep at bargain prices upon the heavily supplied Chicago market they can stock up at minimum cost, whether they want foundation Stock for breeding or the growing kind to fatten for market 1 A Biased Opinion. “Do you think buttermilk will pro- I long one’s life, Colonel Soaksby?” “Ahem!

No Man is Stronger Than His Stomach A «trong man is strong all over. No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or from some other disease of the stomach and its associated organs, which impairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition contained in food, which is the source of all physical strength. Vhcn a man “doesn’t feel just right,” when he doesn’t sleep well, has an uncomfortable

feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despondent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength. Such a man should use Dr. Pierce* s Golden Medical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood, invigorates the liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH 21ND STRENGTH TO THE WHOLE BODY.
