Serious Symptoms.

Mrs. Annie Hamilton, Stetsonville, Wis, developed serious symptoms, as a result of some form of female trouble from which she suffered.
 A letter, in which she describes these symptoms and tells how, by the Cardui System of Tome Treatment, she finally managed to cure herself, may prove of value to you, if you are suffering, as she did, from ailments peculiar to wo- men.
 She says" When was suffering from female trouble, I could not sleep, eat, or stand on my feet without pain. l could not work, and could not stoor on account of the pain in my side. I took medicine from three doctors with out benefit, and the last one said was in critical condition, and going down hill. At last took Cardui and in two days time 1 was different woman Now eat good, work good and feel better than I ever did in all my life Cardui is a good medicine and if all poor sick ladies knew of it there would be less suffering"

May Abandon Power Plans Insufficient Water Is

MAY MATERIALIZE
 IRRIGATION PLANS
Low Price for Power Makes Profits From Project
 Uncertain

The latest information regarding the Gila river water power proposition is conveyed in report by MT. II. A. Bar ry to his associates, copy of which he has forwarded to me.
 The report is very thorough and it shows that Mir. Barry has left nothing undone in his efforts to solve the prob lem. The dam site, water supply, stor- age capacity, construction and other en- gineering features were gone into, ir masterly way, such as only engineers of his experience can do.
 Mir. Barry's efforts were devoted mainly to the feasibility of the scheme from the viewpoint of the generation of electrical power, especially continu- ous power such as is required by the mining districts tributary to it. The question of rights and titlees to the wa ter, the site, and of the railway were of course secondary.
 The water requirements of the Flor enee land owners for irrigation pur poses was Investigated at Florence by MT. Barry, in consultation with the wa ter users association.
 The dam site and other engineering features were passed upon very favor ably.
 The most serious question, and ono which appears to be unsurmountable, is the fact that the dry season, when thS farmers require the greatest quantity o1

water for irrigation. the flow of water in the river is so small that there would not be sufficient running water going over the dam to generate the minimum power requirements.
 To draw heavily on the II miles of back water, during the dry season, would give the minimum quantity, but would so lower the power head as to make the generation appear to be un- profitable.
 The minimum quantity of power dur. ing the dry season would not be equal to the demands of the consumers, and would so lower the income for the year as to render the entire power scheme unproftable.
 We had hoped that the deficiency from the power end would be more than made up by the immense revenue tc be derived from the irrigation feature and it probably would, but the mini mum flow of the river for late years as shown by the recent tests made by the officers of the reclamation service together with the fact that the con sumers of power will not entertain SC small a minimum supply, has decided us to abandon the project. The irriga tion features, however, are commend able and worthy of more thorough investigation.
