Stop Floods, Irrigate Millions.

For many years officers Of the United
States engineer corps have been advo.
eating the building Of reservoirs as a
means of protection and not for the
purpose Of irrigation. They have claim
ed that the only way to regulate the
volume OF water and prevent the annual
destruction of property if not of life,
was to control the flow Of waters at the
head of the stream from which it came.
They have claimed that it was prac-
ticable to impound the waters in spring
time when the rains come, and the SHOW
melts, and allow it to escape gradually
instead of in great devastating floods.
Now, the advancement of civilization has
made the conservation of these waters
not only valuable, but necessary for ag-
ricultural purposes. This should be
done throughout this whole region on
the eastern slope of the Rocky mount
aims where the rainfall is short. The
general government, the state, eacll
county and private individuals should in
larger and in smaller way cooperate
in retaining or utilizing much of this
water that escapes and causes such de-
struction in the lower part Of Mississippi
in food times. A small part Of the
money now being squandered in the
Philippines would accomplish wonders
in this region.

Why Women are Nervous.
British Medical News.l

The frequent cases of nervous pros
tration or utter collapse OF the
nervous system under which women
"go ali TO pieces" as the saying is,
have caused much thought and in.
vestigation Oh the part Of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are
we'll known to cause various forms OF
nervous diseases which are readily
traced to the poisons producing them.
Further research leads to the belief
that alum is prevailing cause OF Sc
called nervous prostratiOn. for the
symptoms it produces on the nervous
system after its absorption into the
blood are very remarkable indeed.
Experiments physiOlogically made
upon animals by Oraa, Professors
Hans Mayer, Paul Seim and others,
show that alum frequently produces
40 visible symptoms for many days s
after its introduction into the body.
Then follow loss Of appetite aud
other alimentary disturbances, and
finally serious prOstration Of the
whole nervous system. The most
prominent physicians now believe
that NERVOUS prostratiOn" and
many affections OF the nerves from
which both men and women suffer are
caused by the continued absorption Of
alum into the system.
1t is probable that many medical
meu are unaware OF the extent to
which salts Of alumina may be in-
trOduced into the body, being under
the impression that the use of alum
is prohibited. Alum, however, is still
used surreptitiOusly to some extent
to whiten bread, and very largely in
making cheap kinds VI baking pow
der. In families where baking pow
der is used great care should be
exercised to procure only those brands
made from cream Of tartar. The
alum powders may generally be di,-
tinguished by the lower price at which
they are sold.

Cattle with spectacles are to be seen on
the Russian steppes. The steppes are
covered with snow more than six months
of the year. The COWS subsist on the
tufts OF grass which crop above the snow,
and the rays Of snow are so dazzling as
to cause blindness. To obviate this ca
lamity it occurred to a kind-hearted man
to protect the cows eyes in the same
way as human beings, and he manu-
factured smoke-colored spectacles which
could be safely worn by cattle. These
spectacles were great success, and are
now worn BY upward of 10000 head of
cattle, that no longer suffer from the
snow-blindneSs which once caused such
suffering among them.-Kansas City

The greatest danger from
trusts is not because of the III.
crease Of 25 per cent in the
cost Of living, although that is
a burthen placed upon the pro
pie almost solely to secure pro
fit upon over capitalization.
The particular danger we have
reference to will come when
legislation to protect the peO-
pie is undertaken. Then the
aggregate influence and power
of trusts to control courts and
Congress will be shown. Then
will come the real contest for
supremacy between the people

THE BANK CIRCULAR.
Dear Sir:-It is advisable to do all in
your power to susatain such prominen;
daily and weekly newspapers, especially
the agricultural and religious press, as
will oppose the issuing of greenback
paper money, and that you also witAold
patronage or favors from all applicants
who are not willing to oppose the gov
eminent issue of money. Let the gov
ernment issue the coin and the banks
issue the paper money of the country,
for then we can better protect each other.
To repeal the law creating national bank
notes, or to restore to circulation the
government issue of money will be to
provide the people with money, and will
therefore seriously affect your individual
profit as bankers and lenders. See your
congressman at once and engage him to
support our interests that We may con-
troll legislation.
This has been printed many times;
but will bear repeating. Note especially
the first sentence. This word has gone
along the line and is being acted upon
today. Do YOU wish to assist the paper
that is fighting your battles and against
great odds' If YOU do, ask your neighbor
who is reading gold standard paper be-
cause it is cheap, to join YOU in support

that is fighting for equal rights for all
