It is a well-established fact that deep-water transportation is, and neces­ sarily must be far below the cost of transportation by rail: indeed, it is com­ puted that the cost of water transpor­ tation by steam, when the voyage is of any considerable length, is about one- quarter the average cost of transpor­ tation by rail, while by sailboat it is only one-eighth of the latter. As this question of transportation determines to a great extent the existence or the non­ existence of a possible industry, , and en­ hances or diminishes, the value of every article of export in proportion to its efficiency and economy, the battle cry of the West for "twenty feet of water be­ tween Duluth and the sea" is no great problem to account for. In the year 1898 there passed through the Safelt Ste. Maria Canal no less than 21,234,664 of Canadian freight, alone having a value of $200,000,000, while American ships moved some 168,000,000 tons through the same waters for the same length of time. The total traffic through the locks of this "Soo" Canal, for less than eight months, is five times as great in number of vessels and slightly less than twice as much in actual tonnage &s passes through the Suez Canal during an en­ tire year.

The lecture will discourse upon the ' 'Relations and Conditions of the Church and Nation." 4 Mr. Adams is a Cuban and represents the Catholic church of Spain as it is found today in the western hemisphere. A native of Santiago de Cuba, he is of! Spanish descent, and combines Latin culture with Saxon'Strength. Having inherited what is best in the civilization Of Spain, in conjunction with the ^virile and versatile qualities of American manhood, he stands forth, his friends say, as a champion well fitted to explain the relation of the church and state in this day and hour. His appearance in Chicago will be made a testimonial of the regard in wbich he is held by Cath­ olics for his success in his labors in behalf of the church. Ten Cento' Worth of PrewnMoi. If you are subject to Colds, the very best thing you can do is to keep your system in as open and perfect condition as possible. If you do this you are much less liable to take cold.
