BETTER WATERWAYS ARE BEING DELAYED! Gongress Negiects to Appropriate, Causing Suspension of Work. (Special to the Herald.) ‘Washington, Aug. 18.—According to army engineers having river and harbor work in charge, work on 136 projects has either been suspended al- ready or will be suspended by Sep- tember 15, because of the failure of congress to make the needed appro- priations. In a memorandum submitted to Chairman Sparkman of the River and Harbor committee of the house, the chief of engineers in calling atten- tion of congreas to the pressing neces- 8ity of appropriations to carry on river and harbor work, said: “Every effort has been made to keep the esti- mates down to the amounts actually needed to permit of economical pros- ecution of the works adopted by con-: gress and, by reason of the regular passage in the past four years of river and ‘ harbor acts, confidence that this policy would be continued has been gradually acquired; and not only the engineer department, but contractors engaged in furnishing ma- ‘terials or doing wdrk: under the de- partment have acquired the same confidence and have made their plans accordingly. The suspension of work results not only in positive loss of time and possible interference with navigation, but seriously handi- caps and greatly adds to the cost of future work by the disorganization of ‘working forces, and the effect which it _has upon the confidence of con- tractors supplying materials.” In speaking. of the matter a mem- ber of the committee said: “The War of Nations is not only closing down the factories in the United States by shutting off the importa- tion of materials from Europe, but it i also causing the dismissal of hun- dreds of railway employes. Freight and passenger traffic on all railroads ‘ running out of Jersey City shows such an enormous falling off that the rail- roads are compelled to make whole- sale discharges in their operating forces. It makes a bad matter worse to have thousands and thousands of dol- lars’ worth of property hung up and thousands of men thrown out of work because of the failure of congress to: pass the river and harbor bill.” | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1914.

The president saw Senator Simmons, chairman of the senate finance committee, and Representa- tive TUnderwood, chairman of the house ways and means committee and discussed the question. Earlier the president told callers that the possibility of issuing Panama canal bonds to meet the expected de- ficiency had not been seriously con- sidered by the administration as vet. The president, Senator Simmons and Representative Underwood agreed that a special tax probably would be necessary but no time for beginning was settled on. When treasury offi- cials conclude that additional funds are necessary the president will send a special message to congress asking that a tax be levied. Representative Underwood said the prospects of manufacturing industries of the nations involved in the war will be crippled for several years, making an early return to normal in import duties improbable even in the WHEN AND HOW THE BODY POISONS ITSELF The underlying cause of much head- ache, particularly migraine, or sick head- ache, bilious attacks, vertigo, or dizziness, is intestinal auto-intoxication. Thigpro- cess, recognized only in recent years, is the absorption into the blood poisons roduced in the intestines from the resi- lue of food. The two most prominent factors in causing this condition are constipation and excessive meat eating. It canthere- fore be largely avoided care in the diet and the use of a laxative which will clear away the fermenting residue of food which is generating the poisons. Pinklets, the new laxative, are admir- ably guited to protect the body against the dangers of auto-intoxication for they gently assist nature and do not gnflo or purge. Harsh purgatives leave the m in 8 worse condition than they nd it but Pinklets give just the stimula- tion to the organs of excretion that is needed to produce natural action and if they are used regularly for a time they will really correct constiimon. --Yourdruggist sells Pinklets or they will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 25 cents bottle, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.

Hot weather has a very weakening effect on women., They are too lan- guid to exercise, and as a result have appetite only for foods that seem light and tasty, such as salads and other cold concoctions. But these fre- quently produce indigestion, and with it comes constipation. It is especially in hot weather that women should keep up the highest standard of health, for it is necessary to have strength to resist the heat. The first essentials are good diges- tion and regular bowel movement, and then good red blood and steady nerves 1 will follow. The best way to obtain these is not by an over-indulgence In fruits, which often are not ripe, or over-ripe, and hence are dangerous, but in the use of a gentle and pleas- ant-tasting bowel stimulant like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup' Pepsin. Use it to- night and your constipation, indiges- tion and sick headaches will vanish by morning.
