WATER FOR SANTA FE.
Extraordinary Well Is Found at La
kin by Railroad Men.

The problem of water for engines has
been solved in western Kansas by the
Santa Fe which has sunk what prom
ises to be an unusual well at Lakin-
The well was put down $50 feet. The
flow of water which was reached is
very strong, the water rising to a depth
of 140. The Santa F'e gave the well an
extraordinary pumping test but could
lower the water only ten feet in the
well.
The people at Lakin believed a well
that deep would find artesian water but
it is not of that kind. However, the wa
ter which was reached has stood tests
in the water service department of the
company in this city, a fact which is
pleasing to the company management
and the people sf Lakin alike.

The DEAFNESS of Butter.

One of the most eminent authorities
on consumption, DR.. Huges Bennett, of
London, made the remark that THE
main causes of consumption are the
dearness of butter and the abundance
of pastry cooks" 1t is evident from
this that the doctor believed that the
poor and underfed are unable to obtain
sufficient fat, while the digestion of the
wealthy class is upset by their rich
pastries SO that they do not assimilate
the proper amount of fat. In either
case it is a question of fat We must
have fat in some form cheap enough for
the poor. and easy enough for the en-
feebled digestion of the rich. Cod liver
oil in its crude condition is both too
difficult AID too unpleasant for any
one, but ilS the form of Scott's Emul-
sion as manufactured by Scott e Bovine
1t is not only easy to digest and pleas
ant to take, but acts as a medicine IN
purifying the blood, as well as the very
best kind of fat forming food
