REEDER ON IRRIGATION.
VIII Push His Bill to Experiment in
Western Part of Kansas

Washington. Jan Representative
Reeder talks interestingly Of his bill to
appropriate $4,000 for the work of in
yestigating the practical features Of
sinking artesian wells in the arid Sec
tons of Kansas for irrigating purposes
Artesian wells, he says, have resulted in
great practical good in South Dakota,
where the experimental stage has been
passed long ago.
The region which he wants to improve
includes almost the whole western third
of Kansas, or about forty counties He
says IN the past two or three years the
crops which have been raised there
have been in a large measure satisfac-
tory, but they did not begin to reach
the proportions which they would have
reached had there been more water
available. The wells which he wants
sunk should go to q depth Of from 1000
to 5000 feet, he says Wells which have
been sunk to a depth of 1000 feet have
sent up salt water, but he believes that
the great depth will reach desirable
quantity of water and prevent the dis
tressing, disastrous drouths which
have SO retarded the agricultural de-
velopment Of that country.

on the various functions that FIJI his
official life The new lord mayor
win probably have to stand heavier
strain than any OF his predecessors
for generation past, because he
will be in Office at the lime OF the
coronation next June, and it will
take tremendous outlay to sustain
the dignity Of the city on that ocea-
sion.
Besides wealth, the other great
qualification for lord mayor is a
sound digestion, because the official
breakfasts and dinners he is re-
quired to give and receive follow
traditions that had their beginning
in the days before dyspepsia had
been invented, and when three bet
ties of port were considered mod
est and seemly allowance for one
gentlcman's dinner Besides this,
there is special qualification re
quired OF the incoming lord mayer,
and, fortunately, he has 1t. This is
that he should be able TO ride a
horse well enough to make n geed
showing at the coronation. The lord
mayor at the time OF the queens
jubilee had never appeared in pub
lie on horseback in his life, and when
he discovered that tradition would
require him to ride on that occasion
the poor man hurried off and took
some lessons. He was badly fright
ened when the great day came, but
managed to stick on his steed. al
though with considerable loss of dig
nifty. Sir Joseph, however. makes n
fine figure OF man on horseback
and will be an honor to the city
whose five hundred and nineteenth
lord mayor he will be.
Sir Joseph gives hint he is GO
ing to be on the alert to protect the
city's rights at the time of the
coronation The city, of course, isn't
the metropolis of London at all, but
merely the naughty little square
mile in the middle of London. which
has a separate government. separate
police and lot of ancient dignities,
which have precious little to do with
the liberty of its citizens, but great
deal to do with the importance and
pomp of its officials.

position of lord mayor year from

Take care Of the stomach and the
health will take care of itself. If
people only realized the soundness
of that statement the majority
might live to a good old age like
Moses, "the eye undimmed, the
natural force unabated. 1t is in
the,stomach that the blood is made.
Itis from the stomach that nourish.
ment is dispensed to nerve and
muscle. II the stomach is "weak" "
it can't do its whole work for each
part Of the body If it is diseased
the disease will faint the nourish-
ment which is distributed, and so
spread disease throughout the
body. 1t was the realization of the
Importance of the stomach as the
very center OF health and the COM
mon sourcesof disease, which led
DR.. Pierce to prepare his Golden
Medical discovery. "Dlseas es
which originate in the stomach
must be cured through the stom-
ach." The soundness of tins theory
is proved every day by cures of
diseased organs, heart, liver, lungs,
blood-by the use of the "Dis-
covery" which is solely and singly
medicine for the blood and organs
of digestion and nutrition. 1t is a
temperance medicine containing no
