TT. MEADE NEEDS NEW WATER
More Adequate supply g. Demanded
for Purposes of the
Army.

A serious condition Is reported from Fort
Meade, s. D., where nearly 800 men OF
the Fourth United States cavalry, with a
considerable humble Of civilian employees OF
the government, are quartered, in regard to
the water supply for the post. The ques-
ton has resolved itself into one of two
propositions that must be settled speedily
and that is an immediate remedy Of the
conditions or the abandonment of the post.
The drinking and culinary water supply
for the post is derived from the water
system OF the town Of Sturgis, two and a
half miles distant and Is pumped through
the water pipes. The requirements Of the
post are for 2OO. 1000 gallons daily, but about
October 1 Of the present year the water
was shut off between the town and fort
and now the supply Of drinking water has
to be hauled from a hydrant in the town
Of Sturgls, the supply being limited to
g,4CO gallons daily or in four loads of COO
gallons each and this limited supply must
be husbanded closely.
The water supply for the stables and
other purposes is now obtained from a
wen about thirty feet distant from,
a temporary reservoir built by dammins
the creek that runs past the post. 1t is
into this creek that the sewage from the
town Of Sturgis Is dumped. the creek flow
ing from Sturgis 10 the fort. Some dis
lance from the town the creek sinks and
the bed is dry for, 100 or 200 yards and then
the water oozes out again into the creek
bed a short distance above Fort Meade.
While no sickness of any consequence
has thus far prevailed at Fort Meade, sew
eral cases of typhoid fever exist in the
town of Sturgis. The fear Of infection has
caused the War department to investigate
the water supply conditions at Fort Meade
and to that end Lieutenant Colonel VIII
liam B. Davis, chief surgeon of the De-
partment of the Missouri, was recently sent
to Fort Meade.
Colonel Davis found the conditions to be
practically as stated and made his report
accordingly, which has been sent to Wash
ington.
About the only way out of the dilemma
for the government is either to build it's
own water supply system by arteslan well
or to pipe the water for the post from
Dead Mans gulch, about five miles from
the fort. Both Of these propositions will
involve a considerable expenditure of time,
aand time just now is very precious, and
something will have to be done at once.
Colonel Davis has the i'm
mediate building of an open air distilling
plant at the post, the water supply being
obtained from the creek or well now I'm
operation there for the stables and washing
purposes.

MR.. GoSLING'S ADVENTURES
lie Offers n Seat to "a Woman I'm an
Elevated Car-Unexpected
Outcome.

"This,'' said Mr.. Gosligton,' 81 confess
is rather puzzling to me, but l am inclined
to think that 1 get left init.
"The elevated car in which / rode home
late yesterday afternoon was as usual, at
that hour crowded, and so, as usual l
hung on by a strap. But a few stations
along the man in front of me OF whom /
had been standing got up and went out,
leaving a vacant seat, which Of course I
might have taken, but which l did not take,
for a step or two further back in
the car there was standing, holding on by
a strap, a young woman talking with a
young man who was standing near her,
holding on by the next strap.
what l did was to indicate to this young
woman that here was q seat for her, at
which she turned a stepped across the
car, as 1 supposed, to occupy the seat that
l had thus left for her. But just what
she did was this:
"Sitting down on one side Of this seat. she
edged along a little further on that side,
thus making her next neighbor there, a
woman, move along a little, and thus pro-
viding half the seat vacant, and now she
invited the young man with whom she had
been talking to sit down beside her, which
he did, all this leaving me to stand there,
completely ignored, in front of them.
Sitting down as she did she dlscommoded
the person, the woman sitting next to her,
and crowding In to sit beside he, as he had
to do, the young man with her di commoded
the person sitting next to him. Thus this
lady would appear to have proceeded when
her opportunity came with entire disregard
Of everybody, but herself, seeking with
utter selfishness solely her own comfort
and pleasure, or so we might have thought,

woman, which 1 do not; but while the
situation was a little puzzling, 1t certainly

Eczema Cure
Surprises Druggists
(From Chicago Newal

Leading druggists have been puzzled to
understand why they are selling so much
pure citrox lately to the public, as this
drug is generally used only in scientific
work. An item in The News last week
accounts for II, as II told of the discoV-
cry that citrox is probably the best known
cure for eczema, teter, salt rheum aud

TRIPLES IN VANITY BOXES
Gold, silver and Enamel Cases Hang
on Chains from the
Waist.

Gold or silver card cases and purses hung
on q short wrist chain will be inc general
vogue this year. The shops are full of
them and also of the gold and silver van
'ty cases that had such popularity last
year.
In general, all three show similarity in
style and make, but in many models the
special use asserts itself Enthusiastically. The
solid purses are among the newest. They
open with stem or spring clasps. In the
button OF the, spring clasp a large semi
precious store is set. Acid work is much
used to decorate silver purses.
Many of the vanity cases are, plainly APP
proprlate only for stheir special purpose.
Yet even I'M some hpf, these boxes , one
finds a place for visiting cards, and a
nook for. change.
The newest thing Of all in purse. card
case or vanity box comes IN French
enamel. Tie covers of one model are
striped in two shades Of old blue, trans
parent cram The covers Of another are
striped in broad bands Of polished silver
and amethyst transparent enamel. stili
another model has covers done ir elaborate
flower designs in many colors on a back
ground Of plain white enamel. These
tnanrcl cases are costly.
Envelope cases are dainty affairs. They
open exactly as an envelope does. A seal
is simulated on the point of the over
lying flap IN a dark blue or red semi
precious stone. Pressing down this seal
frees the clasp.
For the most part all these gold or sill
yer purses and cases are hung upon short
wrist chains; but they can be SUSPENDED
upon long neck chains IL preferred. AS
they ere expensive, mary women will carry
on their wrist chains one of the new lIttIs
silver or gold tags that ave come from
France for tho purpose. They are about
as big es a scent piece and bear III,
name and address of the owner.

TAKING CARE OF THE HANDS
in Said to he One OF the
Simplest and Most Sooth-
ing Remedies.

a little attention will keep even house
worked hands" in very presentable condl-
ton. The best and simplest aid to this
end is oatmeal Make a small cheeseclotb
bag and put in a little oatmeal; use this
for washing the hands at night and when
ever a thorough washing is desired. After
washing the hands dust with a little dry
oatmeal.
Hands that are inclined to thinness are
seldom attractive. Nothing is better to
make the hands plum han olive oil. Hold
the hands in very warm water for a few
minutes, and dry carefully. Pour a little
oil in the palm Of the land and rub It
thoroughly into all parts of the hand. Use
as much oil as the hands will absorb. DO
not wash the hands for a least an hour
after this treatment; or It may be used at
night and left on TIL morning.

terest to make 1t the most desirable Of all,
