Physicians are calling attention to Gna fact that influenza or grip has ceUie to stay. In the larger cities there has becn a marked increase i'll diseases affecting the organs of respiration, which increase is attributed to the prevalence of irfiu- enza. Persons who are recovering fruHn grip or influenza are i'll weak condition and peculiarly liable to pulmonary dis ease.
 Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery cures coughs, bronchitis, lung ~trouhle ?; and other diseases of the organs of rcs- piration. It IS the best tonic medicine for those whose strength and vitality have been exhausted by an attack of grip
 It purihes the blood, cleansing 1t of the poisonous accumulations which breed and feed disease. It gives increased ac- tivity to the blood-,naking glands, and so increases the supply of pure blood, rich with the red corpuscles of health.

follow at all. If the land owners un der the Arizona canal owned all the stock in that company owned aoso- lutely the right to have it transferred to them upon the complete payment of a certain fixed amount which was debt upon the company, their condition would be exactly that of the land own CTS under the most successful ii'riga ton system, l believe. in California, the Annaheim company, where the land owners own and control the SyS- tenn subject to the bonded debt upon the company, the same as they do at Riverside. where the land owners own the company. They went through there very much the same process of evolution that you are going through here. They got into all sorts of diff culties with the water right company, and in the end the land owners ac- quired the property. It is bonded, it is true, for a large amount of money, but they pay the interest regularly and themselves who have the ultimate right to participate in the benefits and must bear the burdens. whatever they may be-the farmers and land owners who irrigate the lands from the water will own the system subject to the debt
 
 ject to mortgage.
 l have gone into that a little. To outline the idea. it is plain in my mind that if you intend to line up here for d government reservoir, you must eliminate all the conditions which could be interpreted by the people at large as an attempt to enlist the gov ernment in an expenditure of money to build q reservoir. the eventual ben efits of which would go to the share holders in a canal company instead of the owners Of the land which would be irrigated by the system.
 Now. I do not want you to assume because anything I may suggest may at first seem to be difficult to carry that it is Impossible. I am firmly con- vinced, and I think I have sufficient knowledge of your conditions here to have q judgment in that respect. that with the right spirit dominating the people Of the valley as a whole. the owners and all interests here. canal. water. land and everything else. that you can bring together and formu- late a plan which can be carried out, which will eliminate all these difficult ties
 If you undertake to get the govern iIcHl to Dullu l1lilU GtSefNOlT, lcaNlf.S in between the reservoir and the land owners a corporation which will claim even after the debt to it should have been paid that il is practically entitled tC control the distribution of the water from the reservoir and the added value instead of going entirely to the land, goes to holders of shares of stock in the canal company, it is just as certain as fate that your whole proposition will fail because it will be attacked by the eastern journals upCh the ground that it is q scheme to get the government to validate lot of water rights which are today worthless and to give value to corporate shares which have no value today.
 Now, let us recognize those things. The worst pilot. absolutely the most dangerous pilot in the world, is the man who tries to find short cut and leaves out Of sight difficulties which will arise up and confront him when

nity which would radiate in all direc- tions. You cannot pay it here, but you will smoke cigars here. and they will pay their tax to the government: you will wear imported goods here, and they will pay their tax into the gov ernment; and 1 presume on some occa- sicns of importance some of you might drink beer in the Salt River valley, and in so doing you would be indirectly paying a tax to the government; and the government will get the revenue. because We have all over this country q prosperous community which pays to the government revenues: and in increasing the prosperity of the people, such as this is, the government will increase the basis of it's own revenue and the strength of the nation. It must be a sound, economical proposi- tion for the government to do these things. providing you can so shape up your local conditions that an invest ment of the government will be safe, and the government will not be in vo!"ed in any complications.

A new book of much interest to Min
neapolis people of literary tastes is a
smallvolume of poems by Mrs. Mary Boole
Hinton, of Washington, for several years
a resident of Minneapolis. The volume,
which Is her first essay In the world of
books, is a thin one but contains in it's
small compass several real poetical gems.
The poems reveal 81 true sense Of melody
and firm technique. There Is much
variety in poetic form, but the predomi-
mating theme is music in it's many sided
ness. The book is fittingly entitled
"Other Notes. ,.......-.,i. ID IL.
Like many novices in book publishing
who are wrapped up in their art to the
exclusion of more practical things, Mrs.
Hinton has been unfortunate in the dress
given to the beautiful creations of her re-
fined fancy. Although this is a EARRING
note, the true lover Of poetry will find so
much that rings true in the small book
that he will forget it's unattractive ex-
terror. Several Of the poems are reprint
ed from the leading magazines.
The poems reveal nature keenly at
tuned to the beautiful in sight, sound.
emotion and life, These are treated with
loving sympathy and appreciation. A
high degree of finish given to each poem
none of which contains more than fifty
lines.
Mrs. Hinton is a woman Of great natural
literary and artistic gifts which have been
cultivated by the associations and circum-
stances of her life. She is a sister of the
brilliant author of "The Gadhy" and "Jack
Raymond" Mrs. e. L. Voynich. The
family is Irish and Mrs. Hinton lived in
Ireland until her fat hers death. She
was educated in London and taught there
before her marriage. Several years of
her married life have been spent In Japan,
just previous to the Minneapolis residence
of the family.
Last year Mrs. Hinton gave several de-
lightful lecture courses on her observa-
lions during her travels, on lit erary top

over by Mrs. Wooley and are held once
a month, and the Sunshine club, which
meets every other week for lesson in
cooking with Miss Varney, and the alter
nate Friday is given to the gymnasium,
where Miss Mary Parker acts as instruc-
tor.
The sewing school is held Saturday
and about seventyfive boys and girls at
tend. Mrs. Sewall is superintendent and
her helpers are from the different
churches. Friday evening is left free
that the different clubs may have social
gatherings and there are few weeks that
it is not in requisition.
Quite helpful employment bureau IL
maintained at the settlement and womeL
are furnished for day work. The distribu-
ton of clothing is one Of the problems OF
such an institution and is met at Bethel
by using the good garments to pay for the
services given the settlement. One bog
is running errands for Miss Varney until
he has paid for the warm REFER that he
wears and the kindergarten floor is kept
scrubbed and spotless by a woman who
gladly takes a little coat or dress for
her work.

An occasional church has offered the Sun

go to the city hospital Tuesday after
Moons to sing sacred songs. But if there
is scarcity of flowers there is also too
little music. .... 49,
There is nothing that the patients en-
joy as much as bright, cheerful music, y
said the superintendent Of the hospital,
"and I wish that more singers would come
to sing to them. Not long ago young
girl asked me if she might sing in one
of the wards, and without any accom-
paniment she gave several Of the better
class Of popular songs, standing in the
center of the ward, just as she would sing
at home. The patients couldn't clap, but
their faces were. full of applause as the
singer slipped away with whispered
hope that she had not disturbed them. 1
tried to make her understand that the
more she disturbed them in that manner
the better it would be for them
In the spring and fall magazines are
carried by the basket into the city hos
pital, but no one comes to read them.
Many of the patients are too weak to sit
up and hold book, but they are not too
weak to enjoy bright, simple story, If
1t is read aloud. Not one Of the superin-
tendents at the different hospitals can re-
member that an offer has ever been made
to read to the patients, nor has any elocu
zionist given a program of simple recita-
tons.
There are seldom many children in the
hospitals and the demand for toys and
picture books is not large, but small as 1t
is it is mot always filed. One Of the
school teachers had her pupils IN the sec
ond grade make a scrap book before
Christmas for the children In the con-
tagious ward of the city hospital and her
example was followed by several of the
kindergarten children. A little girl who
has Just recovered from diphtheria sent
her toys to the children in the same
ward and the adult patients have en-
joyed the games and books quite as much
as the little ones. r.. ..-.-.. .
Another thing that we need in the
city hospital suggested Miss Erdnan,
''is fruit and jellies. The city furnishes
healthy, nourishins food, but it cannot
afford to buy all the fruit that the pa
tients would like. A woman recently sent
four gallons of ice cream, enough to give
a plate to each patient, and I. don't think
it could have been appreciated more"
There are five large hospitals in Min
neapolis, St. Barnabas, Northwestern, AS
bury, st. Mary's and the city, while the
latter has needy auxiliary in the quar-
antine hos-Hital. They furnish quite an

WRITES WHILE ASLEEP
Miss Metcalf Dreams and Develop
Plots as She SIumbers.

Miss Metcalf Dreams and Develops
Plots as She Slumbers.
A writer Of stories. who not only dreams
plots but actually writes them out while
sleeping, has been working In Chicago for
several months. She is Miss Euretta d.
Metcalf. and she says her best work is done
when in a state of somnambulism.
Miss Metcalf is young woman, and her
sleep walking dates from her childhood. She
has ridden bicycle in her sleep, but the
most pronounced feats in this line are her
writings. She does not inherit the trait, for
her ancestors were sturdy, hearty individuals,
fond OF hard riding to the hounds in the
north Of England, who went to bed and slept
dreamessly.
Fond Of writing from childhood, her sleep
ing actions followed this bent of her brain.
The plot OF the story varies from dark
tragedy to light farce. Most Of her writings
have been short stories, and nearly all of
them finished in one sitting. Recently Miss
Metcalf has taken up longer work, and is
in the midst of a long novel, which will be
entitled Her Other Self Every chapter
of this has been written when the author
was in somnambulstic state.
81 have been writing stories in my sleep
for number Of years. she said, 'but only
for the last year or so have I tried to find
any sale for them. l have disposed of a
number to syndicate and they were printed
in various papers. ! know, that do my best
work when am to all tntents and purposes
asleep. l seem to write with moro force, my
thoughts are more concentrated, and my pen
gets over the paper much faster, for hnd
long stories on my desk in the morning
which would have taken me several hours to
prepare.
81 do not know that any bad effects follow
my night work. unless it be from loss of rest.
I have talked with many nerve specialists
about it, and they have been much inter-
ested. My sleeping work follows much the
same trend as that which I write in the
daytime, only it is better, I think.
When I was in school I learned German
and French we'll enough to read and write
the languages. I frequently use scraps of
foreign quotations in my stories. Some
times the plots of stories will come to me in
dreams, and I will awake and remember
them. If set them down at once can re-
tain the IDEAS, but II l neglect to do so they
fade away"
Miss Metcalf was born in Kansas City
and moved to Rockford year befo ] she
came to Chicago. She had brothel who
was reviewer in an Elgin newspap} and
he was the only member of the famA who
took up writing for profession. Hell lied q
short time ago.
Miss Metcalf does not claim claff ,oyant
powers, but ascribes her faculty Of sleep
writing to development of her other self
She says that every one has two sides to his
life, but in most persons the one side is but
little known. She takes her characters from
the people she meets every day, and claims
to have an intuition which enables her to
divine their characters and open their
thoughts to her view, in limited sense.
It is her purpose to enter the literary field
in Chicago.
