tings of the bathroom. Scales have long
been in use in Turkish bath establish
ments. and are considered almost as
important as the dry room itself. A
man loses from one to four pounds
weight whenever he takes Turkish
hath. but it is a fact that he seldom
loses any weight at all in taking an
ordinary tub bath. From this it may
be thought by the ordinary man that
there is no demand for the bathroom
scale, but the ordinary man doesn't
know it all. He completely forgets the
fat lady who lives next door and the
bulky gentleman that always makes
such a fuss whenever he climbs on
board the ca bic car. He also forgets
the dyspeptic gentleman and the thin
lady with the sour face.
But aside from these he does not seem
to realize the enormous business which
the massage operators have built up
within the past few years. 1t is quite the
proper thing to have your masseur visit
YOU at your home at least once week.
He gives you your bath. and then de-
votes his attention to your cuticle. He
kneads you where you need kneading,
and manipulates your muscles, which
have probably grown fabby with lack
of proper exercise.
All of this has an effect upon the
weight which your ordinary plunge or
shower bath would not have. You
weigh yourself before you begin, and
you weigh yourself after the mas
seur is through with you. You will
find the bathroom scale handy thing
10 have around.
Previous to the advent of this inno-
walton the ordinary man has not both
cred his head very much about his
weight. Occasionally, while waiting
for boat or a train, he would attempt
to drive away dull care by dropping a
nickel in the slot. listening to the

THE BATHROOM SCALE

4 Fad That Has Captured Many 9th

Have you seen the bathroom scales
They are among the latest things out.
If you have one in your lavatory you
viii find it an interesting adjunct to
your bath, particularly if you go in
for massage treatment, as so many per-
sons are doing now.
But what an unsightly article of fur
niture, you eXclaim. Nothing of the
kind. That simply shows your ig-
norance of matter which is full of in

enough to adorn my lady's boudoir,
should she choose to place it there. 1t

That Next?

Word comes from Washington
that we are to have large stand
ing army from this time forward.
We can muster a larger volunteer
army in shorter time than any
other nation, and a volunteer force
with very small standing army is
all that is necessary for the protec-
ton of American interests. A large
standing army in times of peace is
imperialism. 1t smacks of foreign
royalty and will impose an unnec-
essary burden on the people. 1t is
stated that the larger cities are to
be garrisoned and the army. so dis
trlbuted as to protect capital
against the dissatisfied laboring
people of the country. The
army is to protect the rich against
the poor. But the soldiery will
be composed of the poor, and it will
really be the armed poor against
the unarmed poor for the benefit Of
the idle rich. This will not have a
tendency to preserve the peace but
to break it. Force begets force

The Nicaragua Canal.

Eight Of the government engineers
who have been engaged on the prelim
mary survey Of the Nicaragua canal
have arrived at Washington, and will
soon make their report. They re-
NAMED at Nicaragua to complete the
work after Admiral Walker and other
members Of the commission were re-
called to take part in the late war with
Spain.
The preliminary work was finished
before the party left the field and
vast amount of data, the result Of sur
veyings, borings and soundings, have
been brought back and will be includ-
ed in the official reports, which will be
placed before Congress at its coming
session.
The surveys show that the proposed
canal is entirely feasible and that the
cost will be considerably less than the
estimates made by the Ludlow com
mission, or the sum named by Admiral
Walker few years ago as likely to
needed.
The reduction in cost is due to a
change in the location OF the Ochoa
I dam and to other notifications OF the
old route. The Ludlow commission
estimated the cost of the canal at $l33,
600 900. Admiral Walker named
$l250O0000 as the aggregate cost.
The report Of the engineers will place
the estimate at less than 800, 600 900.
BY changing location OF the dam
from Ochoa to a point Ii miles lower
down, the building OF the Juan Basin
and its costly embankment can be
avoided and saving Of 100000
made
While Mr.. Ebens Wheeler and other
members OF the returning party de-
clined to be quoted at any length in
reference to the canal work, they say
their reports will show the canal is a
project containing no serious difficulty
and that it can be quickly and cheaply
! built.
1t is two years now since any actu-
al work has been done on the canal by
the company of which Warner Miller
is the head. The concession obtained
from the Nicaraguan government by
the company is said to still hold good.
The attempt to build the canal by pri-
vate means has been abandoned by
Mr. Miller and his associates, and all
rights in the premises have been offer
ed to the government,
The statisticians have placed the
volume of the commerce that is likely
to pass through the canal much higher
than the estimates of the government,
and their opinion is that the revenues
to be derived will warrant them in
spending considerably more than
100000, 900 in building the canal.

junction Bar Dredger Co.

We clip the following from Tues
days Boise Statesman:
Charles T. Brant has returned
from Junction Bar, Elmore county,
where he has charge of the placer
ground of the Scottish American
Development Company. Mr.. Brant
says the ground is about the rich
est he ever heard of in the state.
The company has 800 acres. He
says the average depth Of the gravel
is 2S feet and it runs an average of
% cents to the yard. Mr. Brant
employed six men during the fall
and the ground was thoroughly
prospected with the aid Of drill,
which is said to be a perfect piece
OF machinery, having cost $500.
The company bought 100 acres
OF the ground, paying $4,000 for it.
The balance was located and re-
located. The relocation OF part Of
it caused the difficulty which re-
suited in the attempt to blow up
the drill on the night Of November
3D.. The relocated ground had be-
longed to a man named Crossman,
who had made open threats against
the company. Crossman and one
Mcclure were arrested on the charge
of attempting to blow up the ma
chine. The theory of the prosecu-
ton is that Crossman instigated
the attack and Mcclure attempted
to carry out his plan.
From all appearances the explo-
sive was thrown at the drill. Shoe
tracks were discovered to within a
short distance of the machine and
others were seen that indicated a
precipitous retreat The fuse was
evidently wrapped around the pow
der and the mass thrown at the
drill. The aim was poor, however,
and although the ground fairly
shook from the force of the explos.
ion, no damage was done to the
drill.
Mr.. Brant says the company will
put big dredge on the property il
the spring. He thinks it one o
the best dredgc propositions in The
state. Most of the ground is virgin
although the tract includes some
that was worked over in the early
days, notably the original junction
) Bar locations OF so acres, from
which over 100000 was taken
But even there only the surface wa,
touched, the gold being extracted
by the most primitive methods
Mr.. Brant will leave shortly fol
Denver to consult with members o
the company.
