UNCLE SAM'S ANTI
 TYPHOID MIXTURE.
Department of Agriculture Has Pre-. paration That Will Kill
 the Germ.

After months of experimenting the chemists of the department of agricul- ture are about ready to announce that they have hit upon a preparation guar anteed to annihilate the germ of ty- phoid fever, says a Washington dis patch to the New York World.
 The formula will not be made public for some weeks, but the department has concluded that at last it has dis covered the real enemy of the typhoid germ and that the mortality in this country due to typhoid will within the next six months be thing of the past
 Just what the preparation is cannot be learned. It was stated in a New York paper this morning that it was the Bordeaux mixture of chemicals but this was officially denied this even- ing.
 The department will say only that the solution is in the hands of the gov ernment; that it's nature will be made known within a short time; that it can be used in every city and town in the country, and that it will perform the work of which it is designed.
 The departments preparation will, according to plans, be given to any one who may apply for it when it is decid- ed to make it public. All cities and towns supplied with drinking wal er from common reservoir will be given the formula, so that it may be applied

STORAGE BASIN NEWS
Progress of Operations as Reported
 by Engineer Hill.

L. c. Hill, engineer in charge of op- eratlons at the Tonto dam site arrived here yesterday morning via Mesa and the Fish Creek road. and expects to leave this evening on his return jour ney if he gets the business attended to which called him down and which is merely an incident of his usual work.
 Mir Hill left the upper camp at Liv- inkstone Monday afternoon stopping that night at Roosevelt and the next morning visiting the various road camps in the vicinity of the dam. The number of men employed at the Fish Creek camp he says will be greatly in- creased as soon as a favorable vote on the bonds is reported from Tempe.
 Speaking of the tunnel work MT. Hill says there will be an aggregate of B. 700 feet Of 1t on the power canal and about 500 feet on the sluice canal through which the stored water is to be taken from the dam. All the tun- mel work has been let to Contractor John Futile who is pushing things as fast as possible. It has been previous ly announced. and in accordance with the original plans. that the sluice tun- mel would be cut around the dam on the north side of the river. The plans have been changed in this respect and the sluice tunnel will be on the south

side. The approaches to it from the lower side have been eXcavated and the men are now employed on the ap- breaches from the upper side.
 The boiler and engine for the tenn porafy power plant are doubtless at the cement works now as they were only a mile away when MT. Hill left. This temporary plant will be only a few hundred feet from the dam site.
 MT. Crowley. who has charge of the interests of Sherer & Co.,, the con- tractors for the excavation of the Power canal. is preparing for work as fast as possible and has a good force he has been delayed by the non ar- rival of his outfit.
 The telephone line was completed several days ago and about four days ago MT. Hill talked over it from Liv- ingstone to Phoenix. The line from Livingstone to Globe was finished sometime ago. so that Phoenix now has telephone connection with Globe. via the reservoir site. At Mormon Flat. en route to Phoenix. MT. Hill re- ceived a telegram from New York, re- peated by Phone from Globe. and ans- wered it at onco. so that the dam site is now in close touch with the outside world. The service though is not the best in the world owing to the inter ference of the road builders near the dam site. The present completed road and known as the lower road, runs up the river bed from the dam site toward Livingstone and will even tually be submerged, A cut of is now

DECLINE OF PROFANITY.
Gentle Slang Has Supplanted Gus:
 Words of Old.

Many purists bewail the prevalence of slang in the spoken language of the period. Has it never occurred to them that in the vast majority of in- stances slang is relatively soft and harmless, that it is seldom profane, and that what common speech has suf- fered from interjections of slang and cant phrases has beer more than coun- teracted by the disuse of hard old Anglo-Saxon swear words? Thus the language is really the gainer, and usage is making much of the slang good English. Take any good iic- tionary lately from the press, and it will be found to contain literally hund- reds of words that were considered slang and not to be spoken in po- lite conversation a dozen or 25 or 50 years ago. Likewise, take any stan dard novel of three or four or five gen. erations ago. which reflects the cus- toms and people of its period, and it will be found that some of the lead ing characters in it were given to po-

FRUITS OUT OF THE SEASON.

The wife of a wealthy fruitgrower surprised her friends during the holl- days by serving watermelons, mush- melons. plums and grapes as fresh as when they were gathered. Asked to tell the secret she replied: Tt is the simplest thing in the world; anyone can preserve fresh fruits in the same way. The melons I first dip in a wax preparation and coat the stems with sealing wax. After this I coat them with a thick coat of shellac and bury them in box of sawdust to keep them from rubbing together and from freez- ing. The plums are coated in the wax only, but the plums and other fruits are coated with the wax and then with the shellac. All are careful ly uacked in sawdust.

CARE OF PROVISIONS.

Through carelessness and ignorance the loss is often great if the good things you provide for your larder are not properly taken care of after they are delivered. Salads and fresh greens should not be left to wilt in d hot kitchen. Meat should be put im- mediately in a cool pIace and taken off the paper it is wrapped in. Butter and milk must be carefully treated and always kept by themselves as they are very quickly tainted with the taste of anything they are nea-. To pay at tention to these little details is the se- cret of good housewife, and you W III be rewarded both by delicious things for your table and by getting out of your purchases their full value

A NEW TRIM MING.

Llama thread Is the novelty this season. It is fine gold thread with a peculiar luster Of its own, but un- fortunately kills the coloring of any other thread used with it, and there fore is invariably used without any other trimming. As a general rule 1t is embroidered on the materials themselves, the embroidery being so fine and close that it produces almost the effect of concentrated sunlight.

Today has been a day of rest and refec-
ton ON the part of the usually active mem
bers of the inaugural committee, a calm
before the storm, as it were. Yesterday was

late yesterday afternoon caused much ap-
prehension and fear lest the use of the
pension office should be positively denied.
AS neither the House nor the Senate was
in session today, Chairman Wilson and his
co-workers relaxed. reviewed the situation
generally and laid plans for tomorrow,
when the pension office matter will come
up again for consideration.
1t is urged by members of the inaugural
committee that action must be had tomor-
row. one way or the other, because If 1t is
of the committee will be retarded greatly,
and from the way the question was threshed
out yesterday by the members Of Congress
there Is no doubt in the minds of the friends
of the District as to the ultimate result
The inaugural ball will, it is hoped, be held
in the pension building.
Applications by civic organizations for
positions in the parade continue to pour in,
and indications are thate~this will be the
most interesting pageant this country has
ever seen. Among the applications today
is one from the Minneapolis F1ambeau Club.
