Generous Use of Apples as a Beautifier

If girls understood the advantages of
apple eating there would probably be
quite huge run upon the market for
the fruit. Doctors say that apples act
directly upon the liver, thus strength
ening the digestion, and, as conse-
quence, improving the texture of the
skin and the color of the complexion.
Raw apples are the best, but baked
ones may be substituted for a change,
or if the fresh fruit should be found
unpalatable or difficult of digestion.
The old rule that fruit in the morning
is gold, in the afternoon is silver and
in the evening is lead, is quite explod-
ed. Many people find that light
meal of fresh fruit directly before get
ting into bed induces comfortable
sleep, and in every way is an immense
success.

Some interesting phenomena have
been noted at the high fall water pow
er plant at Fresno, California, where
the Pelton wheels are operated under
fall of 1,411 feet and an enormous
pressure and jet velocity are devel-
oped. A sudden stoppage of the water
flow will raise the hand of the pres
sure gauge to the astounding height of
1000 pounds per square inch, the pres
sure returning eventually to nearly
corresponding defiance below the nor
NAL, accompanied for over 30 seconds
by sharp reverberating. The great
the commotion in its interior sounds
like the firing of distant cannon. The
only safeguards in such sudden chang
es of flow are the great strength and
elasticity of the steel. The water is
applied to the wheels by DETECTING
MOBILES. The terrific force that this
stream of water is capable of is almost
incredible. 1t will bore a hole through
a 3-inch plank in few minutes; it will
tear hole through ss-inch piece of
steel in few days; concrete melts be-
fore it like sugar. The only successful
mode yet known of safely stopping the
motion of the water from the nozzle is
to put heavy casting plate in the tail
race in such a manner that it can be
quickly replaced when worn out.

A Model Ranch.

AS an example of the possibilities of
irrigation coupled with thrift and en-
terprise, no better illustration can be
found in Oregon than on the ranch of
Jake Mussel on lower Sucker creek in

Mr.. Mussell settled here in 18S3-the
first claim taken on the creek below

Today he has bearing orchard of
several acres consisting of apples, cher
ries, pears, prunes, peaches, and in fact
all the fruits and berries that can
be grown anywhere on the north Paci-

loaded with fruit every year. Mr..
Mussell puts up about 200 tons of hay
each year and finds ready sale for it il

Fats The Vl6tOrs.

The great game was played last
Thursday. Victory lowered encour-
agingly over one side and then the
other until the last inning when it
perched triumphantly on the red ban
ner of the Fats. The Leans admit
defeat but are not conquered. They
ask for another battle and are eager
for the fray promising to humble
good and plenty" their growing
foes. The Fats are not afraid and
threaten to beat the presumptuous
lean men next time two to one.
The game was interesting and en-
joyable. Not one of the 800 specta-
tors but had his moneys worth. The
suits Of the players were comic opera
in themselves. Some 1.-THE make-aps

that gushing girl on the Grant County
fair posters. The costumes of the
rest were made up of every conceiv-
able color, material, and style or lack
of style and in keeping with the two
mentioned.
The procession formed at o'clock
and after marching around the public
square proceeded to the fair grounds.
1t was composed of players, mascots,
substitutes, the Lancaster cornet
band and citizens in carriages The
players colors, yellow for the leans
and red for the fats, were generally
worn. Yellow was most in evidence
on the trip to the grounds and red on
the way home.
The main features of the game are
given below; to write it up in detail
would require volume.
