CHICAGO IS AROUSED
OVER 4 JOLIET DAM
Sanitary Board Claims That
It Is a Menace to
the City.
INFRINGES CHICAGO'S RIGHTS
Pamphlet for Legislature Showing
That the Dam Obstructs
Navigation.

Chicago. Sept. 22.-The campaign of
the sanitary district for it's canal ex-
tension through JoIiet-so vigorously
opposed by the Economy Light and
Power company of that city-has as
sumed an active aspect.
AS a broadside to start the campaign
the sanitary board has addressed to
the legislators a pamphlet containing
an exposition of the plans of the dis
trict.
owing to persistent misrepresenta-
tion OF the facts concerning the sani-
tary districts proposed legislation for
It's extension through Joliet, says Rob
ert r. Mccormick. president of the
board, and the misunderstanding of
many interested in the deep waterway.
the district has prepared pamphlets ex-
planning It's plans and showing the
cause of opposition. We will send to
every member of the Legislature a
copy of this pamphlet and also a copy
of senate bill No. 544, the bill for the
passage of which we are working"
The pamphlet then quotes facts and
fiures showing the amount spent to
make a ship canal at the same time
that the sanitary purposes were cared
for and estimates the value of the
power furnished by the flow of the
canal, part of which is now under the
law developed by the sanitary dis
trict, part by private interests, and a
large part going to waste.
The Association of Commerce has
prepared to take an active interest in
pushing the project, because of the
districts work to the deep waterway.
The city club will discuss the bill at
a public meeting to be held on Oct. 8.
Inspection by Senators Today.
The legislative delegation of fifteen
senators will start this morning on an
inspection tour OF the proposed deep
waterway route through and beyond
Joliet. The Legislators will board the
sanitary boards steamer, Ana-Ina, at
the Dearborn street bridge. After a
trip by water to Joliet the party will
continue by rail to ottawa, thence to
Peoria by the Illinois river Walter
Beebe assistant attorney for the
board, and Isham Randolph, consult
ing engineer, will accompany the dele
cation.

ATTACK ON FOOD FAOS
English Doctor Says Eat
What You Like and
Plenty of It.

London. Sept. 22.-Sir James erich
ton Browne. who. in addition to other
medical honors, is a fellow of the
Academy Of Medicine of New York,
has run fun tilt against a small host
of fads, folIies. and falacies. Vege-
tarianism was one OF the subjects on
which he tested his lance.
What he called the fad of deprivh-
tion-the new cry that we are overload
ing our stomachs-was another. Re
garding this he declared that popular
food fads may be responsible for men
tai and physical degeneracy. He vir-
tually urged his hearers to go ahead
and eat as much as they wanted.
All fashionable food fads and fol-
lies of the hour are in the nature of
deprivation" said this eminent physi-
clan in his presidential address to the
Sanitary Inspectors association. AT
one time the tendency was to stun, and
every new kind of nutriment was hailed
as a boon TO humanity: Now the pen
dulum has swung to the opposite ex-
IRENE.
so fierce in some quarters Is the
propaganda of dietetic ascesticism that
in dread Of being suspected of glut-
tony. we can only indulge a healthy
appetite in secret. 1t is curious that
this craze should have come upon us
at a time when we have only just
awakened fully to the ravages Of semi
starvation IN our midst and realized
the truth that one of the main causes
Of such physical and mental degenar-
acy as exists among US is bad and in
sufficient food"

TO NOMINATE HEARST
Independence League Pre-
pairing for National Scope
Leaders to Confer.

Chicago, Sept 22.-Members OF the
Chicago branch of the Independence
league will make a pilgrimage to New
York this week. They go to a con
ference" to be held at the Gilsey house
there on Friday, which they hope will
make William Randolph Hearst the
democratic candidate for president of
the United States in 1908.
The advertised purpose of the con
ference" is to arrange for making the
Independence league national or
ganization. 1t has a home center in
New York with branches in various
states, but the endeavors OF the vari-
Gus branches have been entirely local
and confined to state affairs at the
most. In Illinois they have not reached
outside OF Chicago
The present plan. as outlined yester-
day by one OF Mr. Hearst's friends. is
for the New York meeting to call a
national convention, to which all
branches shall send delegates. This
convention Will be empowered to
name candidates for president and vice
president OF the United States. OF
course Mr., Hearst viii be the candi-
date for president and whomever he
may select or can persuade for vice
president.
Early Convention Is Planned.
This convention will be held IN ad-
vance Of the democratic national con-
vention so that the league can adopt
Its platform and name its candidates
before the democrats get busy. The
plan is to hold It well IN advance
ahead OF the democratic state conven-
lions which send delegates 70 the ma

Renew the Orchard.

The best kind of renewal for the
old orchard is not the Go-called 'prun-
ing up" method, but the process Of
pruning down" In short, the tops
OF the trees should not be cut back,
so they will branch out heavily near
the ground. Cut out the topmost
branches the first season of renewal,
Leaving only the healthy side limbs.
The next year these horizontal
branches may have their extremities
Topped back with the primers in such
way as to promote a uniform, we'll
rounded, symmetrical head or top.
Il wounds should be dressed a few
weeks after cutting, with thick paint
made of pure white lead and a little
boiled linseed oil.
The renewal of orchards may be
profitably accompanied by the addi-
ton of stable manure, either worked
into the soil beneath the extremities
OF the branches or allowed to remain
ON top of the ground as cover for
a few months. The manure should be
well rOtted and should not be applied
too near the trunk of the tree. If
the soil Is very rich the application
will be attended with more harm than
good.-Journal of Agriculture.

Two Famous Bells,

Two monster church bells, the
"Bummerin" in Vienna and the "Sav.
oyarde" in Paris, have been the sub
ject of much discussion recently.
They are both silent BELLS" says a
writer in Hamburg paper, "but for
different reasons" The Vienna bell
cast in iii from captured Turkish
guns, hangs in the tower of St. 1Steph.
ans, and for many years its deep
tones doomed from the belfry, call
ing people to prayer and to assem-
blages of joy and of sorrow. But the
nerves of old st. Stephan's could not
stand the heavy laundering, and the
'Bummerin" was silenced. Now
there is an agitation to build a suit.
able tower for the bell. The French
silent bell was a gift from the peo-
pie of Savoy for the Church of the
Sacred Heart at Montmartre. Before
the monster could be placed in a bel
fry 1t was discovered that in casting
or transporting the bell had sustained
fracture, and that vandals had
bored holes in the outer part and had
filed them with lead, thus running the
great bells voice. Nothing remains but
to recast the bell. This will take
some time, and when it has been ac-
complished the armament in religious
France may have cleared to such an
extent that the bell may be christened
as Schiller's bell-"Concordia."

Mr.; William A: Radford will answer
COST on all subjects pertaining to tho
subject Of building for the readers of this

A very roomy cottage and one well
adapted to growing family is given
in this plan. There are six rooms
and bathroom on the ground floor
and chance to make two splendid
bedrooms in the two principal
gables. 1t is not a very expensive
house to Kaild, although it is "a feet
wide and so feet long. Under favor
able circumstances it should be built
complete for about $1,000, and it con-
tafns as much room as an ordinary
eight room two-stOfy house with a
a greater opportunity for closets and
storage room.
One fault with modern houses liz
the lack of storage. It is a great con-
Venienee to have plenty of room and
to have places to put things so you
can find them without digging them
out from under a whole lot of other
things. People who live in cities ex-
pect to be crowded, because there is
not room enough to go around, but
in the smaller places every one should
be accommodated with all the room
they need and little to spare.
/ like to see a house big enough
tc supply separate bedroom for each
person in the house. 1t is a great
deal more healthful and a good deal
more satisfactory. Every person is
more or less selfish, and each one
likes to have his or her own way,
and the only solution is to have plenty
of room so every one can be accom-
modated.
There are different ways of doing
this. One is to build big house and
spend lot of money, the other is to
build a smaller house that is better
planned. Give less room to halls and
parlors and more room for the COM
fort and convenience for the regular
inhabitants, less show and more util-
ity. There 10 a certain amount Of

Grading UP Stock.

One thing the breeder is assured
and that Is the fact that certain fami-
lies excel and are more successful
than others among all classes of stock
and fortunately for both breeder and
farmer the pedigrees enable them to
arrive at some degree of knowledge
as to the proper families from which
to select. The farmer who desires to
grade up his stock is enabled to breed
from animals of certain strains, or
from families that have produced a
certain large proportion of extraor-
binary Individuals and to increase the
flock to higher standard the farmer
should select from the best families Of
the breed he desires.

run pipe to it from filter connected
with the bottom of the cister1. Then
all you need is pipes to carry the wa.
ter and IN air pump to force air into
the boiler shell to force the water
into the bathroom and up to the
kitchen sink. In rural communities
old boiler shells may be bought for
very little money. Shells that are
no longer safe for steam pressure may
BE used for water tanks with great
satisfaction.
The waste water from the bathroom
and from the Kitchen is easily taken
care of by cesspool which need not
cost to exceed $40. This arrange
ment does away with carrying water
either in or out, saving in labor
which is sufficient to pay the entire
cost in one year, and the machinery
want it.
1t is not necessary to have very
large tank, but of course the larger
it is the less attention it requires.
A tank holding six or eight barrels
would probably hold water enough to
last a week and by carefully filtering
the water the tank will not need
cleaning out more than once year.
Place the top of the tank as low as
the bottom of the cistern, SO it may
be filled by gravity. Put the air
pump in the kitchen so the pressure
may be increased easily without rum
ming down cellar to do it, and have
all the connections air tight OF
course any boiler shell that is steam
tight is also water tight and air tight.
You need a little fall to carry the
waste water away to the cesspool, but
of course all houses are built on
ground that is high enough to pro-
vide drainage. An arrangement of
this kind when properly put in is just
as serviceable as water supply and
sewer drainage in cities. Such con-
veniences cost no more in the first
place than city water and sewer con-
nections. and the home outfit is
cheaper to run afterwards. City water
costs an average householder from
eight to ten dollars per year, and the
city man is just as liable for repairs

OF course cottage houses are always
built in small towns or in rural com

cause storage is not so much of an OBJ

The Breeding Sow.

It is not so generally appreciated,
as 1t should be, that the breeding sow
while she is bearing her young, needs
Just the kind of nutrition that the
growing pig will require. Sows fed
heavily on corn, fatten and bring thin,
stunted pigs, with very little ability
to care for themselves. Such pigs
will never do so well as those whose
dams were fed milk and wheat bran
with some kind of roots while bear.

gestion and win grow rapidly, while
the stunted pig will never fully recov-
err szom the improper nutrition it re-
ceiv,<d before it was narrowed.

Feeding,

Many animals on the farm prefer
foods that may not be relished by 9TH
ers. The farmer should take adVan-
tage of this fact and utilize all the
materials that might be wasted If
there were some animals that would
not accept them. A judicious use of
the feed cuttef. mixing a little bran
or meal with the cut food and tempt
ing the animal with a variety, will rem
der serviceable even such foods as
wheat straw. There are several modes
Of serving corn fodder that will make
1t acceptable to dainty animals.

Dairying changes waste products in.
to valuable ones and less capital il
invested. Large farms are not neces.
sary; milk is a necessary article OF
food, a profitable yield for labor; re
suits are more uniform. Rough waste
land may be utilized. Dairying can
be practiced all the year around 1t
enables us to export an article Of a
condensed product at a less cost and
receive early returns for the same. It
is a profitable work for both man and
woman; surely, dairying is the mott
progressive branch Of farming.

A first class creamery makes bet
ter product and more uniform in quail
ity than the dairying san make. The
prices average at, lesst three cents
higher and more butter is made from
100 pounds of milk or cream, more
skillful labor and better machinery is
used, less labor on the farm, where
labor is scarce and expensive, and
you have the advantages Of the best
markets. Butter can be stored until
the price advances. The creamery
substitutes cooperation for competi.
