The Legislative Committee Hears
Many Apt Suggestions.
WILL CALL on UNCLE. SAM
Reservoirs Are Favorec, State En-
sineer Ralph Has Some Views,
Meet Held Last Evening.

st. Paul, Jan. 2S.-If the enthusiasm
which prevailed last night at the meet
ING of the Joint committee of the SEN
ate and house on the Improvement OF
the Minnesota river, held in the gov
ernor's office in the old capitol, may
be considered criterion, the problem
of draining that stream to eliminate
the annual overflow and the conse-
quent damage, of increasing its eli
cheney for power purposes, and OF max
ing it navigable as far as possible, is
within the range of early solution.
Not alone were practical ways and
means discussed whereby the states
natural resources would be enriched
to an extent never contemplated by the
average citizen, but it was also shown
that the benefit which Uncle Sam
would receive in helping to keep enough
water in the upper Mississippi would
be so extensive as to give the state.
through its representatives at Wash
ington, the right to ask the national
government for financial aid in the
construction of dams and reservoirs
to control the waters of the Min
nesota and thereby maintain an am
pie reserve flow of water to keep the
larger river well supplied at the time
that such a supply was most needed.
Talked About Reservoirs.
F. L. Cliff of Ortonville addressed the
committee on the subject of reservoirs,
paying special attention to the pro-
posed reservoir on Big Stone Lake and
the project of diverting the waters of
Whitestone river, which, it is believed
would relieve the whole upper end of
the Minnesota river.
The proposition of erecting system
of reservoirs having in view the same
object was discussed in detail and with
great thoroughness by the committee.
The general opinion seemed to be that
this was the easiest and quickest solu-
ton of the problem and steps were
taken to obtain practical reports on
just what this involved from a finan-
cial and legal point of view.
State Drainage Engineer Ralph. who
is just now engaged in making COM
plete survey of the river for the COM
mittee, was present at the meeting
and took part in the. discussions COW
ering the important practical phases OF
the committees work.
1t seemed to he the conviction of
those present that he federal govern
ment should properly construct the
reservoirs on the ground that they
would to large extent increase the
stage of water in the Mississippi river
the Minnesota being out of it's largest
tributaries, its volume amounting to
about two-thirds of the Mississippi
above Minneapolis.
The labors of the committee will be
pushed to practical head at an early
date, and with the object of preparing
a complete report to the legislature as
soon as possible, the committee will
hold meetings right along during this
session.
Those present at the meeting We're

tives RoSenwald, Holmberg, Spooner

A Simple Treatment by Which They
May 30 Cured.
Did you ever take nine swallows Of
water to cure the hiccoughs? Do you
remember the time some one scared
the hiccoughs away by telling you Of
a whipping due for some meanness?
Well. science has been studying hic-
coughs and caught the hiccoughs by
the ''nape Of the neck" The nine
swallows Of water had little science
in 1t, and so did the scare cure. The
scientific hiccough cure consists in
pressing down to numbness the nerve
that connects the stomach. heart, lungs
and brain. the pneumogastric nerve.
The pressure partially and locally
paralyzes this nerve and Of necessity
the hiccoughing must cease.
Have the hiccoughing patient sit
down and be at ease, with the muscles
Of the neck relaxed as much as possi-
BILE Grasp both sides Of the neck
somewhat toward the back part and
press down steadily and as hard as the
subject may permit for about one min
ute. having the patient work the head
from side to side. Within about one
minute the nerve will be numbed and
rested, and the spasmodic motion will
cease. 1t may require longer pressure
in some cases, but the result is sure II
patience is maintained. - Ohio State

to match the tablecloth If possible
and a piece Of white oilcloth cut an

spread the napkin over 1t. The gravy
