Amendment Suggested.

In order to permit greater latitude in the
matter of experiments to determine the pre-
liminary treatment best adapted to the
needs of the District, Gen Mackenzie recon-
mends that the Senate bill in question be
amended so as to provide as follows:
That the chief of engineers of the United
States army be and he is hereby authorized
and directed to construct, at such point
as he may consider advisable, an expert
mental plant to determine, far as prae-
tioable what system of preliminary treat
ment, chemical or mechanical. can most
advantageously be applied to the Potomac
water before reaching the filter beds, so
that the latter may deliver at all times a
clear and wholesome water. and, pending
the determination of this question, he is
authorized to apply preliminary treatment
to the Potomac water at such times as he
may deem necessary, the cost of said plant
with its operation and maintenance to be
paid from any balance of the appropria-
tons heretofore made for said filtration
plant. which are hereby made available for
the purpose"

FOR AUXILIARY PLANT
GEN. MAcKENzIE's SUGGESTION
REGARDING POTOMAC WATER.

Secretary Taft has written a letter to the
Senate committee on the District of
Columbia in regard to Senate bill No. 4743.
to provide for the preliminary treatment by
coagalation of the water supply of the
District. in which he invites attention to a
report on the general subject made by Gen.
Mackenzie, chief of engineers.
Gen. Mackenzie says it has been recog-
nized from the start that some auxiliary
plant for the occasional preliminary treat
ment of Potomac water will be necessary
to secure uniformly satisfactory results
from the local filtration plant. He is not
entirely satisfied at this time. however.
that the chemical or coagulation system is
better adapted for the proposed preliminary
treatment than the mechanical system The
adoption of the chemical system, he points
out. will eventually necessitate the refining
with masonry of the Georgetown dis
trtbuting reservoir. which is a work of con-
siderable expense

Il had a terrible sore on my ankle,
and had not walked any for eleven
months. I tried nearly everything
without any benefit and had a doctor,
but he didn't seem to do any good.
He said l would have to have my limb
taken on, and that l would never walk
again. l suffered awful. and at night
l could not sleep at all. I thought
there was no rest for me, but as soon
as l began to use Cuticura Soap and

water and Cuticura Soap. and then ap-
piled Cuticura Ointment to the affect

MAKING CLOVER HAY.

field would be worth a great deal to
