DEVICE IMPROVED
Changes Made in Mai. Town.
sends Recorder of Depths
of River.
NOW AT BOW OF MACKENZIE
Is Being Put to Practical Use ON
Regular Trips OF the
Boat.

Last year the papers along the riv-
er were talking about a new scheme
Maj. Townsend had for making a pro-
file of the bed of the river. The plan
previous to that time had been to
take sOundings every 20 seconds or
every so feet as the snag boat moved
along. The majors clever device was
metal pole so feet long which was
attached to the stern of the boat and
dragged the river bed. The varia-
tions in the surface were recorded by
the communication of the vibrations
to a sheet of paper wound on drum
revolving by clock work. II was some
thing akin to the speed recorder
which some railroads put in the ca
boose to keep tab on the whereabouts
of the freight crew. The result of
the pole astern was interesting but
not always satisfactory. This season
an improved form of the device is be-
ing used. The pole has been brought
to the front and prods instead of
trails. 1t is placed on L shaped
barge which is dashed ahead of the
snag boat and its performance is all
that the inventor could wish.
y deck house has been constructed
at the union of the sections of the cat
amaran barge in which it is located
the recording mechanism. In this the
observer has his station and by means
of previous profiles is able to note the
changes and any new conditions of
the river that call for investigation or
remedy. The exact depth of water is
recorded for every foot of the channel
from the mouth of the Missouri to- the
North. When the depth of the water
reaches ~ feet. the mechanism is put
out of commission.

HAY FEVER FOR 27 YEARS
Well Known New England Woman Cured
by HyOmeI-Cure was Lasting.

BY HYomeI-Cure was Lasting.
The thousands of discouraged peo-
pie who dread summers approach be-
cause they think that hay fever can
not be avoided, will read with inter
est and gratitude the following state
ment from Helen F. Williams, of
Mansfield, Mass:
For p years from the month of
august until heavy frost, l have been
afflicted with hay fever, growing
worse ana worse each year, and of
late years l was unable to attend to
my work during that period.
Last summer | fortunately gave
Hyomei a trial and am happy to say
that il entirely cured me and | have
had no return of the affection since.
This letter is one of many that have
come TO the proprietors of Hyomei,
and the results following this treat
ment, have been so wonderful that
it is proposed at the annual c0nven-
ton of hay fever sufferers to recon-
mend HyOmei to all who are suscep-
tible to this disease.
Hyomei is treatment for hay
fever that combines the latest dis
coveries of science and the best of
common sense. Knowing that a
change of climate was the only way
i'm which relief could be obtained, the
revolution of Hyomei naturally re
suited. BY breathing its germ killing
and healing balsams. anyone can have
at any moment in the day. either in
their home, the office or the factory,
"a climate like that of the White
Mountains or other health resorts,
where hay fever is unknown.
L. ii. Thomas agrees to refund the
money to any hay fever sufferer who
uses Hyomei if it does not give salts

The Mackenzie is under war
regulations, and its

the war department provision
list. The steward could not
even buy a watermelon or a basket
of peaches for the use of the crew.
Moreover, the officers of the boat
are not allowed to purchase supplies
of any sort, no matter how urgently
needed, without asking for bids. II
the boat should tie up at landing
and the carpenter should find that he
needed a few pounds of tenpenny
nails or coil of rope, he would have
to visit the stores in town that dealt
in such supplies and ask for pro-
posals. 1t would then be his duty to
purchase from the dealer making the
lowest offer Exception is made in
case there is only one dealer in the
town and the carpenter absolutely
has to have the supplies, or in case
the boat is out of fuel and there is
not time enough to wait for the bids.
