SANTA ANA
More About the Water War-Meeting OF
Farmers Institute

TdFmcTS lHSliIutc
. SANTA ANA, April 12.-The dispatch
from this city sent to the Associated
Press relative to the connection of the
water system of the city and published
in Tuesdays papers seems to be mys-
terry as to the author. 1t reflects on the
integrity of Mr.. Drake, who has leased
the Spurgeon water works, while all who
know Mr.. Drake are satisfied he never
would do ANYTHING of the kind, and again
it has been demonstrated that If any con-
nection existed at all it was done by the
city plumb ber.
1t appears that when Mr.. Drake turned
off the water at the tanks his customers
could not get water, where If the two
systems had been connected the shutting
Off of water at the tanks would not shut
off the water from Mr.. brakes customers.
This matter will be thoroughly ihvesti-
gate and the party who sent the unwar-
ranted dispatch will be called on to ex-
plan.

However, most of the agents do not de-

are good for a better summer than usual,

AN ALPENA MIRACLE.
MRS. JAS. M. TODD OF LONG RIA.
PIDS DISCARDS CRUTCHES.
In an Interview with a Reporter She
Reviews Her Experience and Tolls tho
Real Cause OF the Miracle.
From Alpena, Michigan, Argus.

From Alpena, Michigan, Argus.
We have long known Mrs. Jas. NJ.
Todd of Long Rapids, Alpena County.
Mich. She has been sad cripple.
Many of her friends know the story or
her recovery; for the benefit of those
who dofnot we publish it to-day
EIGHT years ago she was taken with
nervous prostration, and in a few
months with muscular and inflanma-
tory rheumatism. 1t affected her
heart, then her head. Her feet be-
came so swollen she could wear moth
ing on them; her hands were drawn all
out of shape. Her eyes were swollen
shut more than half the time, her knee
joints terribly swollen and for eighteen
months she had to be held up to be
dressed. One limb became entirely
helpless, and the skin was so dry and
cracked that it would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated
by score OF physicians, and has also
spent much time at Ann Arbor under
best medical advice. All said her
trouble was brought on by hard work
and that medicine would not cure, and
that rest was the only thing which
would ease her. After going to live
with her daughter she became entirely
helpless and could not even raise her
arms to cover herself at night. The
interesting part of the story follows in
her own words:
II was urged to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and at last
did SO. In three days after COM
menced taking Pink Pills I could sit up
and dress myself, and after using them
six weeks went home and commenced
working. l continued taking the pills,

and can go UP and down steps without

Nov, IL l can say anything to in

If other like sufferers will try Pink
Pills according to directions, they will
have reason to thank God for Great ting
men who are able to conquer that ter
rible disease, rheumatism I have in
my own neighborhood recommended
Pink Pills for the after effects Of la
grippe, and weak women with impure
blood, and with good results"
Mrs. Todd is very strong in her faith
in the curative powers of Pink Pills,
and says they have brought a poor
helpless cripple back to do her own
milking, churning, washing, sewing.

duties.

HEAVY SAVING IN POWER.

Electric Motors Are showing an
Economy of Fifty Per Cent.
There have been many cases of the
use of electro motors to drive lines of
shafting or isolated parts of plants to
prove conelusively the remarkable in
creased efficiency obtained, especially
where the conveyance of steam for a
long distance was necessary. This has
led to a more thorough study of the
amount of power absorbed by the line
shafting and counter-shafting The
minimum loss that can be looked for,
and this is obtained only in eycep-
tional cases requiring constant vigil
lance, is % per cent of the total power
developed, and more frequently runs
as high as IS to 70 per cent. A safe
average would be from 40 to 80 per
cent. although the actual loss must be
determined for each and every case.
With the use of electro motors when
properly designed and proportional for
the work, as, indeed, is as necessary
in electrical work as with any other
suits are desired. this percentage of
efficient result may be expected with
bad electric engineering just as with q
poorly arranged case of millWrighting,
but the electrical proportions being
once obtained. there will, within rea-
sonable limits. be no decrease in eff
cheney from the deterioration.
The advent of electricity for such
purposes seems to have enabled man
ayers to realize more fully than ever
before the loss accompanying what
was heretofore generally accepted as
the most efficient method of furnishing
power to the individual machines Of
plant The use of electric motors in
the place of shafting and on isolated
machines where the motors are belted
directly to the isolated shafts or to
the machines has been sufficiently ex-
tended to render the veritication OF the
results obtained unnecessary. 1t is no
exception to find Il reduction of 80 per
cent of the power consumed. This is
not due entirely to the saving of loss
through friction, but also to the adj
vantage gained by the intermittent
action of machinery of every kind.
Tests show that where the motor drive
has been substituted. the machines are
in operation but little more than Ene-
half the time. or more correctly stated,
the power required is only about one
half the total average power of the
machines when doing work. AS re-
markable as these results may seem,
sufficient data are on record to prove
their correctness MAGAZINE

subiimeiy Ridiculous.

Some years ago, a famous English
actress, having been disengaged for
some time, had packed her wardrobe
in pepper, to preserve it from moths.
She was suddenly called upon to take
the part OF the queen in tHamlet. !"
Being rather late for her first scene,
she omitted to shake out her royal
robes, and her dignifed entrance had
an astonishing effect. The king, after
a brave resistance, gave vent to a
mighty sneeze that well nigh made
the stage vibrate. All the royal
courtiers and maids Of honor followed
suit sympathetically. Hamlet came
on with a most sublime tragedy air.
but after a conclusive movement of
his princely features, he buried them
in his sombre robe, while sneeze after
sneeze was all the public heard from
him. Amid the hubbub on the stage
and the shrieks Of delight from the
audience, the stage-manaGer between
sneezes, rang down the curtain. -Ar-

A cownoY,s NERVES.
The Strange Discovery He Made I'm "a
Dentists Chair.

| HendiSIS onstiF.
One morning in Silver Ranch a wild
! yell was heard at the far end OF the
street, and the anxious inhabitants who
momentarily poked out their heads,
saw "Terranteler Tom" on his pony
dashing up the street discharging re-
volver from each hand The heads dis
appeared, and it WAS deserted street,
with but one inhabitant That tenn
porary, solid citizen was the aforesaid
"T. Tom, Esq" A sign stayed his wild
fight Upon that sign was the inScrip-
ton, Or Hopkins. Surgeon Dentist"
When the reliable old citizens cau-
tiously looked out and saw the pony in
front of the dentists they knew Tom
had the toothache. and realized that
there was fun ahead OF course, they
knew he'd only shoot the dentist, and
wind up with a friendly drink all
round, so they gathered around the
doors and windows of the tooth-pulling
shop to see If Toms hand was just as
steady as ever. Tom opened the con-
versation as follows:
you long-legged grasshopper, pull
this tooth, and be quick as lightning
and gentle as a zephyr"
"All right. Sit down in that chair,
and III yank' it out for YOU.
Tom leaned back in the chair, with
a cooked revolver in each hand and re-
piled:
You jest get the drop on that tooth
now, or III yank you"
DR.. Hopkins had chair fixed for
Just such customers. He had a heavy
galvanic battery under the seat which
could throw circuit heavy enough to
paralyze Jumbo and he just quietly
turned the knob on .'rerrantler Tom,'
and walked around and took the pis-
tolls out of his hands. Tom writhed as
though he were fastened to the chair
of the Inquisition; his eyes stood out
like door-lnobs; he tried to YELL but no
sound escaped his lips 1t was some
thing new to Tom, he didn't under
stand it.; he had never heard of a gal
yanic battery and he thought he was
going to die. Quickly the dentist pull
ed the tooth took the remaining cart
ridges ont of Toms reyolyers. and
then gradually letting UP on the bat
terry he said chcerfnlly:
Tooth is out. sir; So, please"
What in all the tarnal grizzlies and
wild cats was the matter with me
while you was pulling that tooth?'
..Oh, your nerves just gave way a
little. That's the way with most every
body wen they get in a dentists
chair"
Tom was 50 ashamed to think his
nerves had given way that he paid the
dentist. invited all hands to drink and
rode off as gentle as Il lamb, thinking
for the first time in his life that he had
mistaken his vocation and ought TO

A PAIR OF SLIPPERS.
Bit of Hitherto Unpublished History of
the War of 1912.


This is chapter of semi official,
semi-domestic history, and it is
vouched for by granddaughter of
the hero's family line.
Prominent in Mr.. Madison's cabinet
sat, four-score years ago, Secretary of
the Navy Jones, the son of a famous
ship-builder, a man gallant not only
in spirit, but in dress and manner.
His fitness Tor his Office is attested by
the naval victories of the war of 1872.
But the successful secretary had more
wit than hair, and wig was sine
qua non of his political and social life.
All went well with this adornment I'M
til the luckless August day in 1914
when the British marched from Bla-
densburg upon Washington.
1t will be remembered that Presi-
dent Madison and his cabinet stood
not upon the or1er Of their going on
that occasion, but went at once-to a
very retired summer resort. Every
one knows how Lady dolly" re-
mai,ed behind long enough to save
some valuable White house portraits
from having their eyes put out by
English bayonets, but few have heard
how collected Mrs. Secretary Jones
was in this national crisis
Presence of mind is said to be pro-
NOTED by absence of body this lady
displayed in the face Of danger pres
ence of both mind and body. As the
secretary emerged from his doorway,
hi FIJI fo
as his agitated condition had allowed
him to collect Mrs. Jones confronted
him with the appalling words:
'sMy dear, you have forgotten my
slippers. You must go back and get
them.n
General Ross was almost at his
door bringing Imprisonment or death,
but the unhappy man turned back to
hunt the slippers. which, it is only
fair to Mrs. Jones to add. were
adorned with diamond buckles. In
his headlong haste for these treasures
which he secured his wig dropped
off in dark corner, and he did not
dare to take time to hunt for it nor
to attempt the purchase of another.
LIE SHofH appearance oi tle secretary,
hitherto faultless in appointments OF
dress, is said to have much lessened
the melancholy of the cabinet Journey,
1t is further asserted that during the
time of retirement, no matter how
much depressed any member of the
presidential party felt over public and
private woes, if he but glanced at

resistable laughter was sure to follow
