Whatever you do, avoid collision

and there's something in your face

A few moments afterward he left
the room, and Stella was left alone.
Her heart beat fast, and try as she
would, she could not keep her eyes
from the silent. patient figure at the
easel, and at last she went up and
stood beside him.

to his picture again.
The tears came into Stella's eyes,

MOVING STATE LINES.

Two projects for changing the boundaries of
states have in recent years attracted attention.
one of these Is TO transfer part of Western
Florida extending for one hundred and fifty miles
on the seacoast. to the State of Alabama. and the
other IS 10 annex the northern neck of Idaho to
the State of Washington.
The chief argument in favor OF the change in
each case is that il would place the region dues-
tion In tho state with which it Is most closely
allied in interests. Most of the business of Pensa-
cola the leading city of Western Florida is with
Alabama, and If II were part of that state it's

siderably nearer to Montgomery than to Tallahassee

connection with Boise and Poca atello.
Proposals for rectifying boundaries well as for
dividing states have been many; the changes
actually made few; Where historic associations
gather around divisional line they are easily
enaced, whatever may be the commercial consid-
eTations working In that direction. In cases where
railway connections have made the business rela-

WATER PROBLEM IN KINGS
Plans for Building Big Reservoir an
Forest Park.

In furthering the plan to save the city billion
and half gallons of water a year, which now
runs to waste in the watershed. the officials OF
the Water Department of Brooklyn and Queens
are preparing to revive the old scheme of placing
a big reservoir forty acres in extent, in Forest
Park At present the two Long Island boroughs
have all the water they need and to spare. They
consume about 140 100000 gallons daily, and can
get it easily, and more too. If necessary but
there has been scarcity Of rain and no break
in the conduit that brings in the water A break
in the pipe line or a drouth is possibility at all
times, and possibility that haunts the authori-
ties day and night. Speaking of the conditions
the other day. Deputy Commissioner Cozer said;
The department lacks storage places More
than a billion gallons of good water went to
waste just because of that fact in the months of
January, February and March. We lose 1.500,-
100000 gallons of water year-eleven days full
supply, and enough, if properly husbanded. TO
tide US over ALMOST any dry spell that We might
have just because have proper places 10

husks they rubbed and thoroughly dried over

Dnffy'S Pure Malt Whiskey

1t has been recommended and
used by ministers of the gospel
and temperance advocates, and
prescribed by doctors of every
school as an efectual preventive
and cure of consumption, bron-
chitis, Indigestion, stomach
trouble, and all diseases of the
throat and lungs.
Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey is
an absolutely pure distillation of
matted grain; great care being
used to have every kernel thor
oughly matted, thus destroying
the germ and producing a predi-
gested liquid food in the form of
malt essence, which is the most
effective tonic stinulant and in
vigorator known to science; soft
ened by warmth and moisture, its
palatability and freedom from in
furious substances render it so
that it can be retained by the
most sensitive stomach.
If weak and run down take a
teaspoonful four times a day in
half a glass of milk or water.
Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey is
sold throughout the world by
druggists, grocers and dealers, or
shipped direct for S1OO per bottle.
If in need of advice write Consult
ing Physician, Duffy Malt Whiskey
