wasp's Jaws Make CoIony's Nest.

Wasp's Jaws Make COIOny's Nest.
Wasps readily succumb before the
increasing cold of autumn. The few
that escape the merciless scourge of
mortality are the queens of next sea-
son. They pass the winter in some
warm Granny, and when the spring
arrives each comes forth from it's hid
ing place and seeks a suitable place
for the nest that Is to be. This found,
the queen repairs to fence or tree
trunk and with her jaw rasps off a
bundle Of wood fiber which when
mostened with saliva and kneaded
forms the paperlike substance of which
the nest is entirely constructed.
Just as bees have invented a peculiar
nest building material in wax, SO wasps
have prepared a special durable paper
for the same purpose The queen
mother lays the foundations of the
city with her own jaws. She attaches
a sort Of stalk Of wood paper to a
chosen support This may be the
branch of tree, root in q cavity be-
low ground or beam in garden shed.
The stalk prepared, the queen builds
q few shallow cells, in each of which
she lays an egg. AS these mature,
hatch and develop into worker wasps
the labor Of the little colony is turned
over TO them, and thus a vast nest
with thousands Of cells is evolved

The supervisors learned of the action
of Judge Van Fleet with some aston
ishment When they understood that
the temporary Injunction had been
granted without the testimony of the
city's expert being taken, some re-
called the weeks of investigation which
had preceded their own determination
of rate.
THE judge seems to have acted with
some haste" said Supervisor Murphy,
"to decide without hearing the city's
side fully presented. It would not look
so bad If the procedure followed in the
Spring Valley hearing had been fol-
lowed. There the court fully heard the
city's case as well as that presented
by the company. This action practical
ly precludes the enforcement of the
city's rate for months to come. The
whole thing is another blow for mu-
nicipal ownership"

BIG INTERISLAND
MARINE BUILT Up
Commissioner Forbes Declares
Development of Country Is
Rapidly Progressing

W. Cameron Forbes. Philippine COM
missioner and personal friend of Presi-
dental Candidate William H. Taft, ar
rived here yesterday on the liner Ko-
rea, accompanied by Jose Ruiz de Luzu-
riaga, a native Filipino and also a
member Of the commission. Forbes is
home on a six months vacation, part
of which he will devote to showing
Commissioner LuZuriaga something of
the United States, a country to which
the Filipino has been friendly and
loyal, but which he is now seeing for
the first time.
It was suggested to Commissioners
Forbes that If Taft was elected his
friendship with the president would
probably mean seat at the cabinet
table. Taft is known to have a great
respect for Forbes ability. The COM
missioner, however, declared that no
such thought had entered his head, that
he could not accept the honor even if
the position was offered. as his work
in the Philippines will not be finished
for at least two years yet.
II never quit until I'm through" said
Forbes, "and L will not be finished in
the islands until my dream of good
roads and system of irrigation comes
true. Roads and irrigation are the
two things in the development of the
islands for which I am responsible and
Transportation was the big problem
that faced the commission when it
| took charge of the islands. BY means
| of a subsidy we have built up an inter
| island merchant marine of which we
feel proud. The commission assists the
private ship owners to the extent of
100000 year, and it has been worth
| it to the country at large. Our water
ways are rapidly being put into good
shape.
Railroad development Is slow, but
when the roads planned and in course
of construction have been built we will
have opened up a wide stretch of rich
territory. We are getting good roads
gradually. We need them probably
worse than we do anything else.
Irrigation will work wonders in the
islands and we are working out a
carefully considered plan which will
soon begin to show results. The islands
are in fine shape and the experiment
of letting the people govern them
selves has been a success as far as it
has gone. In the matter of appropria-
tions the native legislators showed un-

OTIS LECTURE
Was a Big Success at the
Tabernacle.

A large and appreciative audience
greeted Edward Amherst OFT at the
Tabernacle last Wednesday evening.
He gave our people what is said to
be the best of his lectures, "Sour
Grapes" 1t was his first appear
ance here. and that he scored a big
success is putting it mildly. He
dealt with a variety of the questions
of the day--why we have ON army
of criminals, the divorce laws and
the causes of divorce, environment
the making Of men in the home, the
sanctity and responsibilities of the
marriage relation, how to make peo-
pie happy, etc. The lecture was fine
from start to finish, and had just
enough favoring of wit and saocasn,
to prevent it being at all prosaic or
too learned. Mr.. OFT is a genius
and is worth hearing repeatedly.

A Tip For Fat Women.

In few years that excess fat of yours viii be-
come a habit-impossible to break. Better take
time by the forelock and reduce now in a natural
way Il you would keep intact the youthful sym
metry of 20 through the trying years Of middle
age. Go to the druggist and ask him for one half
ounce Marmola, one half ounce Fluid Extract
Cascara Aromatic, and three and half ounces
Syrup Simplex Take teaspoonful after meals
and at bedtime. Mix them at home if you wish,
but see that the Marmola comes to you in a sealed
package
This mixture makes firm feshed. wellformed
women out Of fabby, shapeless ones. 1t animates
their stomachs to burn up the food fats instead of
allowing them to gether at the waste line. With
out disturbing the diet requiring exercise to
help it out it dissolves the fat away just where
needed the most. 1t has been known to melt away
harmlessly as much as 16 ounces a day without
causing a single wrinkle.
