"Senator Nixon introduced following
bill in Senate today for relief settlers
Truekee-Carson project: That the
Secretary of the Interior be and he is
hereby authorized in his discretion and
under such rules and regulations as he

sion, the applicant must show to the
satisfaction of the Secretary of Inter-

Senator Nixon as well as Senator
Newlands and Congressman Bartlett
are laboring on an enactment of this
nature for the relief Of the homestead
ers and if the above bill passes Con-
gress, It will afford the ranchers a
chance TO save their homes already es-
tablished in this project aud at the
present time when finances are short
and no income from their ranches they
will be granted the deferred or gradu-
ated scale of payments so by the time
they have a ranch that Is producing
crops they will be in position to meet
the payments of their water tax much
easier than now.
1t is hoped that the members of this
Congress will see the necessity of
granting this concession to the ranch
ers of this project SO they can retain
their homes. The people here are
giving much credit to the Nevada del
egation for the way they are laboring
for the passage of bill for the relief
of the homesteaders.
We are in receipt of a copy of the
above bill which the telegram gives
from Senator Nixon and it is No. 848s

HOME TESTING
A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.

To decide the all important ques.
ton of coffee, whether or not it is
really the hidden cause of physical
ais and approaching fixed diseases,
one should make test of ten days by
leaving off coffee entirely and using
well-made Postum.
If relief follows you may know to
a certainty that coffee has been
your vicious enemy. OF course you
can take it back to your heart again,
if you like to keep sick.

MADE DRUNK BY MOSQUITOES
Small Pests, Not the Wild Animals;
Are the Real Troubles Of the
African Hunter.

The African mosquitoes intoxicate
you. They inject so much poison into
you that you are dazed, your eyes roll
and you stagger and speak thickly.
In word, you're drunk, said a mis-
sionary.
In the Nyassa country I'd always
start getting ready for bed and the
mosquitoes an hour before sunset. I'd
set up my mosquito net with the ut
most care. Id clamp down its edges
with valises and boxes. I'd light inside
it three green wood fires, filling it
with a bitter smoke that all insects
are supposed to loathe.
Finally I'd get in myself. I'd
smoke big pipes of the black native
tobacco, and I'd long miserably in
that hot, smoky atmosphere for the
dawn. =
Despite all my precautions quite
zoo or 300 mosquitoes would get in.
side my net as soon as darkness fell.
They were like a wh:rlwind in there.
It couldn't have been worse. Their
noise and their nipping made me
feyerish-made me really delirious at
times.
AT last in exhaustion I'd get a few
hours of troubled sleep, awakening
for breakfast, drunk from the poison
Injected by hundreds Of tiny needles
into my veins.
No, It isn't the elephants or the
giraffes that trouble the African hunt
er, but the 'skeeters.'"

ManicurIna a Horse.

A horses hoof is really the same
thing as the toe or finger nails of hu.
man beings, or of animals having
toes. The hoof grows just as a toe
nail does and more rapidly on unshod
horses than on those wearing shoes.
It's growth is much faster on horses
that are well groomed and well fed.
upon an average of a third of an inch

than the fore hoofs. The toe of the
hoof being the longest part, it takes
longer for 1t to grown down there than
at the heel. The new hoof grows out
any cracks or defects in the whole.
