Something Worth Listening To.

A young Nebr man was advised by
a friend to eat Grape Nuts because he
was all run down from spell of fever.
He tells the story:
Last spring had an attack Of fever
that left me in a very weak condition.
had to quit work; had no appetite,
was nervous and discouraged.
"a friend advised me to eat Grape
Nuts, but 1 paid no attention to him
and kept getting worse as time went
by.
81 took many kinds of medicine but
none of them seemed to. help me. My
system was completely run down. my
blood got out of order from want of
proper food, and several very large
boils broke out on my neck. l was so
weak / could hardly walk.
"One day mother ordered some
Grape-Nuts and induced me TO eat
some. l felt better and that night

food every day, grew stronger stead

One large advantage is that an ample
supply Of rock can be secured at No. l.
and by means of the cable, placed on
the dam in one transfer from the quar-

had. while in the work above, smaller
rock only were available and that by

The accompanying cut gives the read
err very accurate idea of conditions at
the Arizona head and the proposed
work to be undertaken now which can
be more clearly explained as follows:
In the lower part OF the picture, al:
that area between the canal and the
river is a bar and IN the time of the
largest floods is submerged. In the
latest flood it was only partly covered
and the water did not approach the
canal bank save at figure 2. where 1t
cut into ii as il has previously done in
high water. Heretofore the repairs at
that point have been made as cheaply
as possible for. the purpose of saving
expense. AS a result the water found
little difficulty i'm breaking into the
canal this time and sending down more
water than the ditch could carry,
forcing II to break out of the ditch at
No. l. The first work to be done now
is the repairing of these two breaks
and the upper one particularly will be
fixed in the most permanent manner
possible. This work is estimated at less
than a thousand dollars. The canal will
then be in good order to the old Ari-
IONA head at No. 3. The advantage of
doing this work first is that while
work is going ahead further up. II there
chance TO be floods of any consider
able size, and they are very probable
by cleaning the sand out of the first
few hundred feet below the head, dur
ing flood time good flow of water can
be diverted through the old Arizona
head. just above the stub of the old
dam. This may give the valley an ir-
rigation when it is greatly needed. be-
