The Wastes of the Body.

Every seven days the blood mus
oles and bones of a man of average
size loses two pounds of wornout
cut tissue. This waste cannot be re-
plenished and the health and strength
kept up without perfect digesti Y.
When tn stomach and digestive or
gans fail to perform their functiors,
the strength lets down, health gives
way, and disease sets up, kodol Dys-
pcpsia cure enables the stomach and
digestive organs to digest and assimi-
late all of the wholesome food that
nay be eaten INTO the kind of blood
that rebuilds the tissues and protects
the health and strength of mind and
body. Kodol cures indigestion, dys-
Depsia and all stomach troubles. 1t

not be stored in the reservoirs, would
be taken out of the rivers and spread
upon this land, which would take 1T
up like sponge, water which would
go. down the Missouri river and down
the Platte river and down the Arkan-
sas river into the Mississippi, and
thus add to the flow of the torrent
there.
Under such system of irrigation
the effect would be the same as
though it had been possible last
week to spread out the great flood
of the Missouri, Arkansas and the
Platte and flood millions of acres of
farming lana in Wyoming, Colorado,
Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas,
thus reducing the flow of the lower
reaches of the Missouri below the
danger point.
THE combined volume of the wa
ter impounded in storage reservoirs
at the head waters of these great
rivers and their tributaries, and that
contained in a network of hundreds
of miles of irrigation canals and
bitches, coupled with that absorbed
by millions of acres of arid land
would have gone a long way toward
palliating or reventing what will be
known as the great flood of 1903"

RESERVOIRS
STOP FLOODS
Question Discussed by Authority on
the Subject.
PLAN OF EXPERT MITCHELL
Suggests Secondary Storage, Which
He Thinks Would Stop Floods for
All Time-Arid Lands Would Take
Up Water Like a Sponge.

Guy E. Mitchell, secretary of the
National Irrigation association, today
discussed the question of how can
any storage reservoirs which the
government might build at the head
waters of the Mississippi OF the Mis-
souri, play any part in the dimunition
of sucn floods as the present one.
He said:
The hnSn water mark at ST. Louis
has reached over seven feet above
the danger Inc, which means an
enormous body of water going by
every minute, and it may we'll be
questioned whether in 100 years the
government could build reservoirs
with sufficient capacity to appreci-
ably mitigate this evil.
"A feature of this flood which may
not be generally understood, but
which would undoubtedly accomplish
the desired result, may be termed a
secondary storage The water stOr-
age proposition applied to the Mis-
souri, and its territories involves the
question of the irrigation of the vast
arid domain through which these
rivers flow. If irrigation storage res
ervoirs We're constructed on these
rivers, it is estimated that as much
as 35,000.000 acres of the present
desert land would be reclaimed. The
. principal season of growing crops
| for this area would be April, May,
June, July and August, and the rea-
son that the lands are not irrigated
at present is that while there is
| plenty of water in the first three
months, during July and August,
when water IS absolutely necessary
to mature crops. these streams are
reduced to mere threads. If the stor-
age reservoirs were built, they would
supply water for this land during
July and August; during the three
preceding months the water for this
great area of land would be drawn
directly from the streams them
selves. BY means of bitches and
canals almost incalculable quantities

White the Leader This Summer.

The Dry Goods Economist, an au-
thority on fashions and wearables of
all kinds, says: 1t would seem as if
the whole feminine world was to be
clothed in white this summer. Even
on the New York streets the white
costume is frequently seen. Ten
yaars ago most women would have
hesitated to show themselves on the
streets arrayed in white. Now one
sees the gown of white wolfe, eta
mine. lawn and even Swiss, and it is
not alone the dressy costume, whose
wearer may be just going from one
house to another, but it is also the
white walking costume of wolfe or
mohair.
The best dressed women reserve
the white costume for carriage or
evening wear in the city and appear
in the dressy tailored suits of white
only in the country. At recent
open air meeting at a nearby country
resort it was the American tailor
made costume in white, whether OF
white wool or wash goods that pre-
dominated. This was at a really
most exclusive function and the pre-
objection of these women for the
white costume has emphasized its
continued popularity among those
who follow fast on the steps of the
fashion leaders"
You will find white goods in the
piece and ready to wear waists
skirts, ETC., at Wilson's at the lowest
prices going.

While great fortunes and great In

What Holds the Novel.

Frank Norris, author OF THE Octo-
pus" and "The Pit" was a most yirile
writer and n man Of decided opinions.
He was wont TO say Of the great fac
tors In molding public opinion that
"the pulpit speaks but once a week,
the press is read with lightning haste
and the morning news is waste paper
by noon; but the novel goes In the
home to stay"
This opinion was aired by Mr.. Norris
in the lobby of a hotel in small town
In Illinois. Among those present was
q country editor. who was prompted to
remark that the novelIst's views re-
minded him Of his dog Wolf. Wolf per
sisted I'm running away from home, kill
ing chickens and annoying children In
the community. At last a method was
adopted by which the dog was con-
fined to his own homestead.
"Chained him, eh?" was the thought
voiced by several of the company.
"Yes, SIR" declared the editor. "And
II your modern novel goes into the
home to stay let Wolf remind you that
it's on account of the binding"
