There is moisture galore. On
Tuesday afternoon, the 28th, dash
ing rain soaked everything in good
shape; then that night the rain came
down more or less all night, and on
Wednesday afternoon a wet, soggy
snow fell, making in all, for the two
days, fall of near 1 ] inches of water.
The old saying of Thunder in Janu-
ary, snow in May did not miss com
ing true but day. If warm weather
now follows the rain and snow of
this week will be worth many thou
sands of dollars to the wheat growers.

The committee having in hand the
raising of funds to complete the deal
for the Jail site, performed their duty
in a remarkably short time, and are
deserving of great credit for the work
performed. They were very much
surprised at the refusal of some OF
the local merchants to, contribute,
which sting however was removed by
the cordial and willing manner in
which others donated, and literally at
that.

MINNESOTA LEADS
IN ITS EXAMINATION
OF WATER SUPPLIES
First State to Cooperate With
the United States Geological
Survey In the Work-Benefit
Cannot Be Overestimated.

Il believe this arrangement OF ours
to cooperate with the United States
geological survey and the state uni
Versity in analyses and examination of
Minnesota sources of water supply to
be a most advantageous thing for
our department and for the state at
large" said DR.. H. M. Bracken, secre-
tary of the state board of health, yes
terday in conversation with L h e
G o be.
Il am quite proud of the plan, too,
for am informed that Minnesota is
the first state to make any such ar
rangement with the United States ge-
illogical survey. We have had this in
contemplation for some time past, but
when I found that our state legisla-
ture would only appropriate $500 for
the use of this department In making
analyses of water, I gave up all hope
and wrote to M. o. Leighton, with
whom I had been negotiating, that the
plan would have to be given up for
lack of funds. Mr.. Leighton replied
that he did not believe so and said he
would come here and see what would
be done. The result is our present ar
rangement, which promises most salts
factory results to all three. of the in
terests concerned.
Benefit of Cooperation.
Through the cooperation of Prof.
Frankforter, who is deeply interested,
we will be able to secure for the field
work students from the university,
who will be amply repaid for their
time and eXertion in the valuable eX-
perience and knowledge they will thus
be enabled to acquire without expendi-
ture other than their time and effort.
The travelling expenses of these young
men in their explorations will be paid
by the United States geological sur
Vey and our department, and the mon
ey expenses of the work have been di-
vided in a very satisfactory manner.
The state board will secure informa-
ton which it greatly desires, and will
be very useful, as to the fitness of the
waters. of the state for drinking pur-
poses, and the United States geolog-
ical survey will obtain data as to the
chemical properties of those waters.
ANY of the three agencies working
singly would be unable to do the work
so satisfactorily even at much greater
expense.
The laboratory work will be done
partly at our laboratory and partly at
the state university and that, too, has
been very satisfactorily provided for.
TN the field work it is intended to
secure samples of water from some of
the streams at numerous different
points and at different seasons, cover
ing the entire year, to ascertain the
differences in the water of the same
stream in different localities by rea-
son of the various agencies, particu-
larly the drainage of cities. For 5ex-.
ample, we will have samples of the
Mississippi water from, a point just
above Anoka, one just below Anoka,
one just above and one just below
Minneapolis. one at Fort Smelling, just
abovest junction with the Minneso-
ia, and one just below there

JUNIOR PIONEERS
ENJOY AN OUTING
ON TONKA'S SHORES
Annual Picnic Is Attended by
More Than 1000 Sporting
Events of the Day Furnish
Much Amusement.

The fourteenth annual outing of the
Junior Pioneers, held at Tonka bay,
Lake Park, Minnetonka, yesterday,
was attended by more than 1000 peo-
ple 800 going on the early train and
as many more on the train which left
in the afternoon. The outing was one
of the most successful in the history
of the association.
Three large steamers, the Puritan,
Mayfower and Plymouth, had been
chartered for the day, and hundreds OF
the picknickers took advantage of the
opportunity to visit different points on
the lake. Others were contented with
fishing, and number of fine strings
Of crappies and bass were brought
back. 0
The baseball game between Steve
Picha's upper town team and Ed
Schnaith's lower town team was a
holly contested one, and was watched
with much interest. Capt. Schnaith's
men finally won out by narrow mar
gin, winning aside from the game a
case of whisky offered as a first prize.
The losers drew case of wine.
There was dancing in the pavilion
in the evening, the music being fur
nished by Marlow's band. The greater
part of the afternoon was devoted to a
splendid programme of sporting
events, including races. ball throwing
and contests of all kinds. The winners
of the various events were as follows:
Running race, 100 yards, Juniors James
Brant first; Tom O'Regan, second; DR..

BABY WEATHER.
Little Fellows Don't Like the Hot
DAYS,

Mothers should know exactly what
food to give babies in hot weather.
With the broiling hot days in July
and August the mother of a baby is al
WAYS anxious for the health of her lit
tie one and is then particularly care
full in feeding. Milk sours quickly and
other food is uncertain. Even in spite
of caution, sickness sometimes creeps
in and then the right food is more nee
essary than ever.
"Our baby boy two years old be-
gan in August to have attacks of ter
rible stomach and bowel trouble. The
p ~ stefan said his digestion was very
bad and that if it had been earlier in
the summer and hotter weather we
would surely have lost him.
FINALLY we gave baby Grape Nuts
food, feeding it several times the first
day and the next zmorning he seemed
better and brighter than he had been
for many days. There was a great
change in the condition of his bowels
and in three days they were entirely
normal. He is now well and getting
very strong and fieshy and we know
that Grape-Nuts saved his life, for he
was a very, very ill baby. Grape Nuts
food must have wonderful properties
to effect such cures as this.
1--WE grown-ups in our family all
use Grape-Nuts and also Postum in
place of coffee, with the result that
we never any Of fus have any coffee
ills. but are well and strong" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
The reason Grape Nuts food relieves
bowel trouble in babies or adults IS
because the starcllsof the grain is pre-
digested and does not tax the bowels,
nor ferment like white bread, potatoes
and other forms of starchy food.

WIDOW LOSES ALL
HER LITTLE WEALTH
Savings of Twenty Years Gone in
Missing Tax Certificate.

"All the money I have got in the
world is gone. Oh, what will I do"
brokenly cried Christina Haddow, a
widow sixty years of age, as she stag
gered into the office of City Comptrol-
Ter Betz yesterday morning.
Mrs. Haddow, while on her way to
the bank, lost city tax certificate
worth $500. She told the comptroller
it represented the savings of twenty
years. She was preparing to collect
on the certificate, and when she ar
rived at the bank found she had lost it.
What makes the loss all the more
serious is Mrs. Haddow had Endorsed
the certificate before leaving home,
otherwise it would not be negotiable
All the banks were notified of the loss
and instructed to take it up if pre-
sented for payment, but up to late
hour yesterday the certificate had not
made it's appearance.
The certificate is No. STA. Mrs. Had
dow lives at 1862 Smith avenue.
