The Morning Fast.

Whatever may be thought in regard
to the desirability or otherwise of the
mo breakfast plan" there can be no
doubt that it is good thing for the
average person to postpone the first
meal OF the day until an hour after
rising. With strong, hard-working
people, who live largely in the open
air, it may be all right to eat hearty
breakfast Immediately on rising. but
with the average person. who leads a
sedentary life, ID is otherwise. The
stomach is then frequently coated
with slime, and in no shape to dispose
Of food. Indigestion, with fatulence,
sets in. and the system has bad start
for the day. A good plan is to drink a
glass Of hot water on rising, with or
without little fruit juice. and then
move around for at least an hour be-
fore eating breakfast, when the meal
will be found to digest far better.

AGAINST THE SCRUB.

Many plans for legislating scrubs
out OF existence have been suggested,
chief among them State inspection
and licensing Of sires, but Colorado
makes the first practical test of this
matter in this country. A law which
goes into effect next month provides
that no inferior or mustang stallion,
no Texas. Mexican, Cherokee or other
inferior bull, and no scrub ram shall
be allowed to run at large. The Jer-
sey is classed with the scrubs in beef
producing Colorado. and no Jersey
bull, though his blood is the bluest Of
st. Lambert, will be permitted to roam
on the range. All persons who own
cows which run on public ranges
must furnish one high-grade bull for
every twenty-five cows. Violations Of
this law are punishable as misdemean-
ors. Moreover, anyone is authorized
to castrate scrub sires that are found
at large. 1t will be interesting to
note the effect OF such legislation upon
Colorado live stock. If the expert
ment is found practicable, other range
States will doubtless follow with anti
scrub laws.

AN OPEN LETTER.
The Board Of Regents Talk 60 fhe
People.

To THE PEOPLE OF NEVADA: The
people of the State of Nevada are not
wanting in State pride or the recogniza-
tion of home merit That our Univer-
sity is worthy of the support of every
citizen OF the State, is rapidly being
recognized. The citizens OF Washoe
county have given $4,000 for an Ex-
perimental Farm.
While California is considering il she
may not profit by securing the services
Of DIR. Stubs, it is quite time that we
arouse ourselves to the value Of his
services, what he has accomplished and
what he deserves. For five years he and
his estimabIe family have occupied as
home, rooms designed for and now
needed by students. The fulfllment of
the duties and social obligations Of
Presdent Of such an institution demands
and is usually accorded q Presidents
home, adapted to the uses incident to the
official life Of 9 University President.
As q recognition Of DIR. Stubs success
and worth, movement is on foot to
raise a sufficient fund by individual sub
scription to at once build aud furnish
such "home." The Board OF Regents
will have the expenditure OF the money
aud the residence will be built on the
University grounds. Ten thousand dol
lars is the amount deemed necessary,
aud no part of the money subscribed will
be due until that sum is subscribed.
Here is an opportunity for the people
OF the other counties to show that they
appreciate the University and its work
as we'll as those Of Wsshoe county; and
every student graduate of the University
may do something toward inducing those
able to do so. to advance the money
necessary to at once set about carrying
out this plan.
IL is believed that the Legislature OF
the State will refund the money at it's
next session. but we should not defer
the contamination Of such q worthy OBJ
ject for SO long time. Let the friends
of the University and the youths Of the
State put their shoulders to the wheel
and the Presidents residence is assured.
The Board of Regents have prepared
subscription list for each county which
have been forwarded by mail. and it is
hoped the best results will follow. All
State papers are respectfully requested
to copy this letter that all may be in
formed IS TO the movement.
Respectfully,
j. N. EVANS,
President OF the Board OF Regents.

rAyoRs A NATIONAL sYsrEM

The annual report of Secretary of
the Interior Hitchcock, made public
Dec. l, treats OF subjects that are OF
special interest to Western States.
The Secretary isapparently anxious
for the establishment Of a national
system of irrigation. He says:
"That the vast area of arid land, ca
pable of sustaining and comfortably
supporting under q proper system OF
irrigation a population OF at least
so. OOO, 900 people should remain
practically a desert. is not in harmony
with the progressive spirit of the age
or in keeping with the possibilities
of the future.
1.-THE average cost per acre OF q
properly-constructed irrigation sys-
tenn necessarily varies and depends
upon local conditions. The remark
able results, however. accomplished
in the valley of the Nile in practically
redeeming Egypt from a state OF
bankruptcy, should encourage a most
liberal consideration of the question
of irrigation. 1t is desirable that
such reasonable expenditure be made
by the Federal Government, as we'll
as by States, as will gradually, but
as rapidly as possible. insure the
Blessings consequent upon a we'll
defined and executed system of irri-
