GROWING UP

There's something the mat ter with the child that fails to grow up. A child that grows up too much, however, without proper filling out of flesh, is almost as badly off. Nothing will help these pale, thin weedy" children like Scott's Emulsion. It supplies the rounding out of flesh and the rich inward nourishment of blood and vital organs which insures rapid growth a healthy and uniform develop ment.

ADJUSTMENTS

The story of "The Devils Lane which will be presented at the Hard wick theater tonight and tomorrow night, is very interesting. Jasper Hawkins, a worthy and wealthy far mer, whose broad acres have smiled with a plentiful harvest for years, is engaged in a bitter quarrel with his neighbor over the boundary line be- tween their farms. It is not avarice nor covetousness that keeps this quar- rel alive, but principle. and when Jas per at last discovers a way to settle the trouble without scruple to his con- science, he is entirely glad. Jasper Hawkins is one of the pleasing char acters depicted in "A Devils Lane" the merry musical comedy which will be given an elaborate production and which will constitute one of the last performances of the dramatic season, is we'll worthy of the most liberal pat ronage.

 The meeting was first addressed by Mrs. w. F. Nichols, who dwelt at length on the need of philanthropie work in the community and its appro- priateness as a department of the clubs usefulness. She was followed by an address by Mrs. George w. Christian of Minneapolis, who is spending the winter here and who has been engaged in such work in her home city for over thirty years.

DEFENSE AGAINST CAVE CREEK
Supervisors Will Be Asked to ApprO-
 priate SIS, 1000.

The board of trade and citizens in terested in the enterprise for re straining the flood waters of Cave Creek held another conference at the board Of trade room last night which made at least a little progress. It is matter though that cannot be rush. ed much faster than the regular course of things. though those present were quite enthusiastic and were rendered the support and cooperation of a com mittec of farmers who reside in the Osborn district.
 Judge Street as chairman of the board of trade committee first ad- dressed the meeting which was pre- slider over by President Marshall of | the board of trade. Following there | was a general discussion, which seem 1 ed to be getting nowhere as there was 1 nothing before the house. F. B. O'Neill offered q motion which was later 1 amended and adopted, that the board of supervisors be requested to appro- priate OOO for the building of a dyke, or such construction as may be needed, as they are empowered to do I by a recent law, and to take such steps as they may see fit in the se- curing of surveys and a plan of ac- ton.
 It seems to be the idea of the citi- zens that after the supervisors have signifed a willingness to do this they can then proceed with perfection of II plans as the supervisors may suggest l or that body can do so through it's II available engineers. The whole purpose last night was to start something and H get working basis.
 H It was then suggested that there should be a larger committee to add moral strength to the movement and to better represent the outlying ter ritory in the vicinity of Glendale and north of Phoenix. It was finally or dered that the committee of fifteen should be increased to thirty, the new members to be appointed jointly by the president of the board of trade

and the chairman of the Cave Creek committee.
 Later a motion was carried instruct ing the committee of thirty to meet at the board of trade room Monday, April IT at ? p. m. sharp, together with all the friends and neighbOrs they can bring along, and repair to the court house to present the matter to the board of supervisors and urge ac- ton in conformity with last nights request. That is the date of the next regular meeting of the supervisors.
 Earlier in the evening MT. Henry j1Ifers who lives north of the canal had presented a communication ex- pressing his ideas on the matter or Cave Creek floods. t was deemed too long a document for reading at last nights meeting and was referred to the general committee for later con- sideration.

IRON SPRINGS CLUB
New Directors Elected at the Annual
 Meeting Last Night.

The annual meeting of the Iron Springs club was held last night in the offices of w. J. Murphy, the pur- pose of the meeting being the election of a. new board of directors, the cast ing up of accounts for view of the situation from fiscal standpoint and making such new regulations as seem ed wise for the future government of the club.
 The newly elected directors are Walter Bennett. H. Fl. McNeil, w. D. Fulwiler, Emory Rays, Emil Gang, Frank T. AIl<ire, w. K. James. After deliberation in the matter of finances it was decided to raise the annual dues of members for the years 1906 and 1907 to fifteen dollars, ten dollars being the present rate. The reason for this is to apply the additional fund thus col lected to the discharge of the indebt- edness of the association and it is es- timated that this raise for two years will free the enterprise from dobt. It was also decided that the transient visitors should be permitted to par ticipate in the laudable work of re- couping the treasury so it was ordered that visitors tickets, which are now one dollar for two weeks permit, be raised to two dollars with an ad- ditionaI charge of one dollar for each renewal of two weeks
 There was a good attendance of the members of the association and the meeting was enthusiastic. The Iron Springs club has fbeen one of the local organizations that has accomplished all it expected to and more, and 1t has therefore been a fiattering success in more ways than one. The season at the springs this year will open May 1st.
