How to Eat

Slow eating will solve one-half the
problem Of i'll health. Those who suffer
within indigestion and weak stomach can
with care and the'use of'Mi-o-na stomach
tablets restore the digestion to healthy
condition. so that they can eat what they
want at any time without fear of distress
or suffering.
After few days of Mi-o-na stomach
tablets, the headaches. dizzy feeling
drowsiness. bad taste in the mouth. coated
tongue. fatulenoe. sleeplessness, distress
after eating-all these symptoms of a
weak stomaoh-will disappear. and per-
feet digestion and good health will be
restored.
Award g. Braden have so much con-
fidenee in the power Of Mi-o-na to cure
indigestion that they offer to refund the
money should it fail to give satisfaction.

FORTY CENTURIES AGO.

HerodOtuS WaXed enthusiastic over
an artificial lake or reservoir in Egypt
which was constructed 1000 years be-
fore the dawn of the Christian era.
1t was built to catch and hold the flood
waters of the Nile in its annual rise
and to irrigate the lower valley later
in the year. The old historian esteem
ed it as a work grander than the build
ing of the pyramid of Cheops. 1t COW
cred $50 square miles and was in some
places 300 feet deep. 1t was con-
nected with the Nil@ten miles away
by canal 800 feet wide regulated
by sluices and gates. There were
no steam shovels in those days, no
Illuminating powder; no steam der
ricks; no steam hoists, and civil en-
gineering was in it's infancy. But the
people needed food, and it was done.
The site of this ancient reservoir
has been found. 1t had been filed
with silt from the Nile. 1t is now
a rare oasis in the midst of the
desert containing 100000 acres of rich
land and is valued at 100000 900. The
same advantages are to be accom-
plished by building new reservoir
near the old one and raising the AS
souan dam ten feet, as was originally
planned. Thus modern men are imi-
tating the work accomplished 1000
years ago by old King Amenemhat III
and his slaves. 1t shows that all that
has been said about irrigation in our
country during the past few years
has been but a review of the things
discussed and achieved 120 genera
lions ago, and that at best the modern
man is but initiating what was wrought
out by slaves forty centuries ago.

LOW GAP IRRIGATION PLAN.

A represe NATIVE of the reclamation
service has been investigating cOndi-
tions on which will depend the avail
ability of irrigation in the Low Gap
country in Douglas county. The Low
Gap lies about 25 miles southwest of
Ephrata, and between Moses Lake and
the Columbia River. The plan is to
procure flow of water from arteSian
wells.
There is no flow of water that can
be brought to that section at cost
that will make it feasible. 1t has been
thought supply might be obtained
from Lake Chelan or Tumwater canyon.
The COST however, would be excessive.
If the artesian wells now contemplated
should prove successful it is said that
contracts will be closed for eight wells
near the Milwaukee railroad.
Some of the water courses in that
country are disappearing, or shrinking
country are disappearing or sinking
streams. From this it seems certain
there is a sheet of water underlying
the county, which can be utilized by
means or artesian wells. Crab Creek
and Wilson Creek are the most impor-
tant ones which sink. Wilson Creek
sinks a few miles above the town of
that name, and is not a running stream
except in the spring time, to where it
empties into Crab Creek.
Crab Creek sinks a short distance
from Adrian, and does not rise until
nearly to Moses Lake, which it enters
as a running stream. In high water

Four thousand acres about old Fort
Okanogan, Wash, will be irrigated.
Water will be taken by a pumping
plant from the Columbia River and
will be distributed by four miles of
bitches, by gravity from a large reser-
voir. The tract will be known as
Bridgeport Orchards. This site is the
Oldest settlement by white men in the
Pacific Northwest, aside from the AS
toria settlement.

All bids have been rejected by Secre-
tary Garfield for removing the timber
around Lakes Kathess, Keechelus and
Gle Elum, Washington, which are to
be used as reservoirs in connection
with the Yakima irrigation project
The work will be readvertised.

Work on a power plant, to cost from
100000 to $1,000.000, has been started
by the Washington Water Power Com
pany at Little Falls, on the Spokane
River, near Reardan, Wash. A head of
6S feet will be secured and 10000
horse power developed, the task re-
curing nearly two years. This will
produce a total of 81, 900 horse power
at it's three water power plants, be-
sides 10000 horse power steam plant
reserved for emergencies.

Near Aberdeen a tract of 5000 acres
is being reclaimed by the dyking pro-

In Oregon corn, potatoes, onions,
hops, clover and vetch are the crops
with which irrigation experiments
have been conducted. The Agricul-
tural Experiment Station at Corvallis
conducted the experimental work in ir-
rigation of corn and potatoes. By
means of a horsepower gasoline en-
CINE and 31a-inch centrifugal pump,
water was pumped to height of Is
feet and turned into fume 700 feet
long, which conducted it to bitches in
the field. The first irrigation was on
June 20, when the corn was three
inches high, and the second month
later. The corn was harvested in Oc-
tober and showed the following re-
suits in yield of green fodder per
acre:
Corn, unirrigated, 5,647 pounds.
Corn, irrigated once, 1000 pounds.
Corn, irrigated twice, 1866 pounds.
Potatoes given the same treatment
showed the following yields per acre:
Potatoes, unirrigated, 1904 pounds.
Potatoes, irrigated once, $3.50
pounds.
Potatoes. irrigated twice, 1900
pounds.

Crab Creek leaves Moses Lake as a
running stream, but in dry weather
it rises several miles south of Moses
Lake, where there are springs which
boil up out of the ground. Below the
Low Gap country there is good trout

MATERIAL FOR THE COLLAR.
Fine Null in Thread Tueks Is Now
Much Worn.

The new separate collar TO attach to
thin white blouse is made OF very
fine null in thread tucks. edged with
tiny border OF black silk muslin at
top and bottom.
\ line OF this is also run up the
back and 1t is fastened with tiny round
silk buttons and cord loops.
The little bow attached to the front
is Of plated null edged with the
black, and in the center there is a
butterfly OF Irish lace.
This stock is especially effective
with an all-white suit and carries out
the color scheme II there are black
pumps and stockings and n white hat
trimmed with black satin.
II is quite the fashion to finish -he

front OF stock with a motif of heavy
lace. These can easily be picked up
by the half dozen at sales.
Another pretty idea in neckwear is

equal loops and ends finished with a
heavy silk cord to match at all edges.
These sell in some shops for $3.50.
