THE IRRIGATION BILL.
It Will Probably Pass the House in a
Few DAYS

1t is believed that the irrigation bill will
pass the House during the next few days.
The bill will then go to conference with
the Senate committee, for the measure to
be adopted by the House will contain inn
portant amendments of the Senate bill. No
more striking change in the status of a
legislative matter has taken place during
this session than that which has come over
the attitude of Congress toward the irriga-
tion bill. Four months ago il was evident
to those best Informed that national irri-
cation bill would pass the Senate. though
in what shape was doubtful. 1t was equal
ly apparent at that date that there was
majority in the House against the bill of
probably $50.
After the Senate passed its irrigation bill
1t was still evident that the House was
against any such measure, and the Senate
bill was also objectionable to President
Roosevelt and to the National Irrigation
Association. The President and others who
desired an irrigation bill which should be
home making bill Immediately instituted a
vigorous campaign to secure such amend
ments as would eliminate from the Senate
measure its pernicious features. The west
ern members of Congress We're practically
united to secure this result. Many confer
ences were held both at the Capitol and at
the White House. and personal canvass
was conducted by the advocates of
proper measure, not only to secure amend
ments for the Senate bill, but to secure the
passage of the measure through the House
and its final enactment into a law.
The House committee on irrigation de-
cided to abandon it's own measure for the
purpose of gaining time, and adopted the
Senate bill, making the necessary amend
ments thereto to secure the support of the
administration and of the National Irriga-
tion Association. The House committee re-
ported the amended Senate measure April
Z, and this bill as reported has received
the full approval of President Roosevelt
and the hearty support of the National lr-
necessary to the enactment of any irriga-
tion legislation by Congress.
This bill, as now before the House, has
received the approval of nearly three-quar-
ters of the members, and the support
which has come to the measure since its
amendment demonstrates effectively that
the strength of the irrigation movement
lies in the idea of home making on the
public lands. This idea was the keynote
of President Roosevelts message concern
ing such legislation.
1t has been a foregone conclusion that
any irrigation bill which did not reserve
the land for the exclusive use-of homestead
settlers. who should live five years upon
their claim before securing title to the
same, would not receive popular support
rhe support of those in authority who had
to do with legislation. The land specula-
tor, the water speculator and the land
grabber are, II is said eliminated from the
situation under the restrictions attending
settlement contained in the bill reported
by the House committee.

PRODUCTS FROM BONES.
Utilization Of Every Bit of Material
for Varied Purposes.

From the New York Tribune
The economy which is practiced I'm the
average boarding house has become pro-
verbal but it is extravaganza to the stand
ard Of economy practiced at bone mill"
The chief product from bones is glue, and
among other materials which are obtained
from them are soap, glycerine and fertil-
izers. Nothing is wasted. Even the most
economical boarding house has a few par
ings and husks to throw away There are
parings and husks in the disposition of
bones.
The first stage in the utilization of bones
is that of cleaning them. When brought to
the glue factory they are apt to be covered
with more or less dried flesh and bits of
foreign matter. After being carefully GULL
ed over by workmen and broken by crush
erS they are soaked in weak solution of
sulphuric acid From the soaking tanks the
bones emerge white and apparently perfect
ly clean, but still redolent with a far-per-
vading odor. They are then placed in what
are termed digesters. Or steam tanks. where
after being subjected to pressure of stea m
for several hours, spigot is opened at the
bottom of the digester and the liquid glue
is drawn off. The grease of the bones be-
ing lighter, is drawn off last and separated
from the first product. The liquid glue is
evaporated to a strength of As per cent
gelatine. a portion of which is permitted
to harden for commercial use, as glue and
a part is refined and sold for gelatine for
able use.
The grease is drawn off into cooling tanks,
where, in its crude state, it is made into
securing soaps. By process of refining
and the admixture of vegetable oils and
perfumes. toilet soaps are produced. The
spent liquors which are run off from the
boiling soap are utilized for the manufac-
ture of glycerine. The bones which are
taken out of the digesters are ground up
for fertiliZing purposes and the dirty water
in which they are cleansed is boiled down
and made into manure. From the begin
ming to the end of the process not even an
ounce of material is wasted.

THE NARCOTIC HABIT.
Excessive Smoking Said to Lead to In
dulgence in Bad Drugs.
my2S-d&ds

dulgence in Bad Drugs.
From the Hospital.
We have largely abused the good gifts of
nature by employing as daily luxuries, and
in time as artificially created necessaries,
things which. If kept in their right places,
would have been reserved as resources in
emergency or in distress.
We are told by those who take it that to-
bacco is an eminently tranquilizing and
SCOT hing agent capable of softening down
many of the asperities of life; but it is
manifest that it can no longer exert this in
fluence or fulfil this purpose in the case of
a consumer who Is never long without it,
even when the ways which he is called upon
to traverse are entirely smooth. If difficult
ties come to him the tobacco fails of Its
effect, and something more powerful, or to
which he Is less habituated. must be-or at
least too often is-reSorted to- -..
We are strongly inclined to the belief
that the excessive smoking of our time
under conditions which do not seem to af-
ford any sufficient justification for It, must
to some extent be blamed for the manifestly
increa sing prevalence Of habits" and that
If the comparatively mild and harmless
drug were used dtsereetly and In modera-
ton, the necessity or fancied necessity for
the stronger and more harmful one would
be far less likely to assert itself AS a
matter of-fact the absolute need for either
one or the other can only seldom arise in
the conditions of modern life, and the daily
use of the narcotic can hardly be looked
upon in any other hght than as a. piece Of
unnecessary self-indnlgeace. That this Is
so is abundantly shown by the example of
women who smoke ibut rarely, and whose
want of panacea sagaiAst the smaller ills
of life, the worries uS a household, the cares
incidental to the possession Of children and
servants, Is certainly far greater than thai
| of their husbands. Possibly many women
NH mo- ia fvvt<, ft,,s,
have been preservedsfrom them if they had
smoked and 1t seems certain that many
men would have been preserved from them
If they had used totn eco without abusing 1t.
