one Cnuse of Eye pisease.

A Scotch surgeon recently called at tentlon to the connection between an uncared for mouth with cariOus teeth and a form of eye disease. He de- scribes three cases, in each of which the teeth were in very bad condition. The gums were soft and spOngy, bleed ing easily, while tiny drops of pus could be pressed out from their margins. The breath had a sour smell, and the com plexion was of muddy, sallow tint. Tn caring for these cases the first step was to purify the mouth and put the teeth into good condition. Such pro cedure, together with suitable tonics and local eye treatment, brought about a perfect recovery. This Is only one example of the serious nature of dental diseases.

"nendn Leaves Not Dead.

Leaves do not fall from the tree be- cause they are dead" which we may take as equivalent to saying because they are no longer receiving the con stituents of their being from the sap and from the air, but as consequence of a process of growth which devel- ops just at the junction of the leaf stem with the more permanent DOT ton of the tree, certain corklike cells which have very little adhesion, so that the leaf is very liable to be broken away by influences of wind and changes of temperature and of mois ture.

JUSTICE OF THE HEARTH.
A Standard That Might Well Be
 Adopted by All Society.

Adopted by All society.
 Over the dinner table a husband was telling his wife of the financial mis- dealings of one of their social ac- quaintances, a wealthy and popular man. He had contrived the ruin of certain company and it's subsequent reorganization, a process which had put money into his pocket and taken money from innocent stockholders.
 The husband touched the facts light ly, because he thought that woman could not be interested in them or un- derstand them in detail. This wom- ans understanding throughout her hus- bands narrative was occupied with one or two simple questions.
 "Is he to be punished?" she asked.
 Punished? How? His conscience won't punish him-indeed, he probably thinks he has obeyed the rules of busi- ness. The law technically is broad enough to cover his case, but 1t Is hard to get evidence. You see, the district attorney must"-
 Excuse me for interrupting, dear. Explain that to me later. 1 think we shall not dine there next Wednesday. I will write a note to Mrs. Berry"
 "Not dine there? Why not"
 Because he Is not fit man to re- ceive in our house or for us to visit"
 "But nonsense! He's just as good a fellow, just as respectable"-
 "One minute. By your own words you prove that he is a wicked man taking what is not his. I listened to your story until there could be nc doubt that you yourself condemned him by the facts, which l do not un derstand. If what you say is true he and I meet no more as equals"
 And her judgment stood. Of course her neighbors and friends pursued the usual course of accepting man II social relations whom their husbands distrusted in business.
 But the standard of the hearthston' shall it not some day be the standard of all society Youths Companion.

DIRECTORS MEET
Directors of all Water Companies
 Hold Two Days Session

various water companies was HSlu @' Imperial. in water company No. Is hall. "Wednesday and Thursday The meeting Wednesday resulted only m discussion among those present, as 1t was expected that representatives ot the California Development company and the Southern Pacific company would be present, but failed to put in an appearance A telegram was re- ceived however. while the meeting was in session, stating these gentlemen would be in Imperial the following day, so the meeting was adjourned untlI Thursday.
 On Thursday the directors again met and this time Messrs. Doran and Ingram were present and after consid- erable discussion the water companies agreed to send to the break 500 head of horses and scrapers and men enough to work them, the California Develop ment company to pay for the actual time worked and the water companies to pay for the time consumed in going and coming from the work. These teams and men are to be apportioned to the different companies on a basis of the amount of their outstanding stock. Then came the question of raising a sum of money to assist the California Development company to carry on the work of closing the break. This called forth considerable discussion and the directors present were of the opinion that if any money was raised it should be recognized as a payment toward the purchase of the system and with that end in view a committee, com posed of I. w. Gleason, of No. l; H. L. Peck of No. 7; Frank H. Stanley, of No. 4; Dan Elder of No. 8 and Judge Stevens, attorney for water com pany No. l, who are to meet Epes Randolph at Yuma, Sunday, or at Los Angeles at as early date as possible and negotiate for the sale of the canal
 
 system and rights of the California De- yelopment company, the purchase price to be what the system is worth after it is completed and put in first class condition.
 This committee is anxious to con- clude this work as soon as possible. sc that the proposed agreement. if reached can be ratified by the stockholders ot the water companies at their annua meetings next month.
 In the meantime work Is being rushed at the Colorado and men anc teams are being hurried to the seer of operations, carloads of rock anc gravel are on the way and ten pile drivers are at work. The plan of cam. paign is to build three trestles acros: the break. dumping heavy rocks from each and filling the interstics witt gravel and clay. The lower one o these dams will raise the water three feet, the next one three feet more anc the upper one will raise the water hlel enough to flow down the old channel This same method was used in thu previous closure.
 Owing to the slulcing out ofnthe ol channel there Is three and half fee less lift than before. Investigation jus made indicates that there Is no pcssl blllty of an interruption of the irrigatio supply before the break can be closed
