ed, too, In clean, quiet part of
the town, free from the disturbing
noise of the city's center.
1t Is even rumored that the
fluffy-ruffled society danes have
gone so far as to plan out menus
for these bow vows. to be admin
istered according to the number of
teeth the little homeless waits still
possess.
Mrs. J. C. Cover, a prominent
member of Denver's social set, has
taken a great interest in this
movement. Under her leadership
society women are meeting daily.

with the surveys made for a new water
works system. He also made an in
spection of the big springs at Hampton
and Indian springs above Unicoi, be-
sides Investigating other sources. Mr.
Kirkpatricll's opinion is that they are
as good as can be found anywhere on
earth. The springs are reported ample
for the supply, as indicated in Maj.
Dunlap's report, the water Of the very
pIrest and the topography such that
the springs can be protected from con-
tamination. The opinions Of both these
experts agree on Indian Springs, and
also on other matters. Mr.. Kirkpat-
rick has found the commissioner eS-
Inmates about correct, and the detail
