CAN USE RIVER FOR IRRIGATION.
Only Need Heed Navigation's Claims
on Streams

on Streams.
State Engineer Lea, like every other
officer who opens the way in a new
department of government, Is finding
numerous problems to settle, without
any precedent for action. One matter
which he has just settled is the rights
of water users to take water from the
Missouri river for irrigation purposes,
the decision coming through the war
department at Washington.
e. j. Phares, who owns tract of
land near the river. applied for the
right to use water from the stream for
irrigation purposes Engineer Lea
held he had no right to grant the priv
ilege, as the water of the stream is
under government jurisdiction, and the
application was passed on to the gem
eral government. A reply has been re-
ceived from II. f. Hodges, chief of the
engineers Of the war department,
which holds that the department has
no power to grant the use Of water
from the Missouri river for irrigation
purposes and could give no rights. But
where water is taken from the river
for that purpose, SO long az navigation
is not INSTRUCTED by the appliance
used for the purpose, and the amount
OF water taken is not such as to ap-
preciably reduce the flow OF the
stream, the department could make
no objection to such USE In other
words, the man who uses Missouri
river water for irrigation can secure
no right to do SO, but so long as he
does not obstruct navigation he will
not be disturbed. This will allow the
irrigation Of number Of tracts along
the river, by means of small power
pumps, and will materially assist the
work of gardeners along the stream.

DAM WORK WELL ALONG.

With the favorable weather OF the

crete are being put in daily.
When this concrete =S;l, -, n,

only the gap through which the water

JEROME INVESTIGATES.
To Prove That Thaw Knew of Wife's
Relations With White.

To Prove That Thaw Knew of Wife's
Relations With White.
Before Harry Kendall Thaw comes
to trial for the murder of Stanford
White there will have been gathered
here for use by District Attorney Je-
rome what is considered as good proof
that Harry K. Thaw fully knew before
he married Florence Evelyn Nesbit
here in April, 1905, of the alleged pre-
vious relations existing between Stan.
ford White and Miss Nesbit.
Not only was Thaw cogn1zant of
this fact but from data gathered here
1t is likely that an effort will be made
to prove that Mrs. William Thaw, the
mother Of Harry, was Informed OF
Miss Nesbit's relations with White by
Miss Nesbit herself before she became
Mrs. Harry Kendall Thaw, and that
with this full knowledge she was re-
ceived into the Thaw family.
The alleged story, as it appears to
have been told by Evelyn to her chums
and which is now being repeated by
them, Is that Harry knew all about
White before he married her, and it
is alleged that Mrs. William Thaw
was also told about her flights with
the architect, and before the marriage
ceremony was performed here she
sent for her prospective daughter-in
law and asked her point blank some
questions about White and perhaps
others. Evelyn is alleged by he1'
friends here to have answered truth
fully about her previous connection
with White.

OTHER SUGGESTIONS

OF course, it is a very simple matter to change
and simplify this menu. For instance, a grape
fruit salad, with sherry and powdered sugar,
might displace the clans as an appetizer Corn
soup may be omitted and corn fritters or corn
pudding, as only country housekeepers can make,
would be pleasant change. Large chicken pies
would be less bother than individual ones, and
salad made from red and yellow tomatoes, with
hard boiled egg garnitures and mayonnase dress
ing, would be palatable effective. Coldslaw,
sweetened with a delicious cream dressing Can
other dish which city cooks cannot equal), is ex-
cellent to serve with the chicken, and sweet po-
tatoes. Lemon and banana are both de-
licious and may be served independently, or as
sundeas with whipped cream and maraschno cher
ries top.
A very good cake l ate in the country was
simple vanilla layer cake, with deep filling of
icing, into which had been sprinkled generous
quantity of grated lemon rind The top and sides
of the cake well covered with blanched
almonds.
This is the sort of cake that you remember
made of the fresh eggs, butter and rich country
cream, all whipped together for half an hour un-
til it is light as angel cake.

1t is not poison unless swallowed in consider
able quantity. And if after its use the mouth is
well rinsed it is quite impossible for the health
to be injured. The states in which this powder
is helpful those having or more OF the
following signs: greenish line along the teeth,
near the gums; looseness of the teeth; retractlon
of the gums from the teeth, so that the latter
appear longer; white spots on the gums and on
the inside of the cheeks.
WHY RINGWORM is so CHRONIC
Partly it is because the minute plant-like forms
that cause the disorder are deep down in the
skin, and one cannot readily kill them without
severely injurng the skin. But another cause is
the fact that renfection may occur a hundred
times over 1t is always impossible to exaggerate
the cleanliness required for successfully resisting
this reinfection Every comb, brush, cap, pillow,
towel, chair-back and other object with which
the head has for single moment come into con-
tact may have deposited on it one or more OF
those misunderstanding minute seeds that can
spread the disorder.
One excellent plan is to make the patient wear
tight linen skull cap, covering all the hair, and
kept in position by cord, tape or elastic. No cap
should be used for more than one day. When
boiled it will again be fit for using. Washing
with water which is so comfortably hot that one
can immerse the hands in it is worse than useless.
Boil the article.
