END IS IN SIGHT.
Completion Of Rock River Wa
ter Power Plant by August
Is Predicted.
PROGRESS DURING YEAR
Low Stage Of Water Greatly Facili-
tated Work, Which WIN Now
Be Hurried 90 Close.

The work on the great water pow
er plant on Rock river at Sears
progressed rapidly during the past
year. The low stage OF the river
throughout the entire year greatly
facilitated the work and when opera
lions ceased recently because OF the
cold weather, the project had reach
ed stage which permitted the
builders to predict that It would be
completed by next August unless the
Unforeseen happens. The work OF
the year was to excavate for the pow
er house and to build the concrste
foundation for the same This was
accomplished satisfactorily, and
there now remains little to do be-
sides building the penstocks !. IN
building the power house itself and
installing the electrical and hydraulic
machinery. This latter work can
progress rapidly after the building
Is erected.
BEGUN IN 1908
The work on the power plant com
menced July %, 1908. During the
first year and a half. three concrete
dams were built and lon., dyke on
the north dyke Of Vandruff's island
put in to keep the water from over
flowing the place. One of the dams
is just above the first bridge over
Rock river, another is between Van
druff's and Carr's islands and the
third is between the latter island and
the north bank OF the Hennepin
canal. Together they give the pow
er plant head of nearly 20 feet and
the power that will be available viii
be tremendous.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Wall papers that have become
bruised or have been slightly torn,
and which cannot be satisfactorily
matched, are not necessarily ruined.
They can be touched up with water
color paints so that at a very little
distance no damage is perceptible. The
paints from a childs box will be good
enough, but you must mix the colors
to get the right shades and then touch
in the broken places of the pattern.
Do not try to ''save" a taffeta silk
petticoat by putting it carefully away
and wearing it only on state occasions.
Taffeta silk is taffeta silk any way you
look at it. 1t will wear out just as
quickly hanging in a closet or lying
in a bureau drawer, as it will when
you have it on 1t is impossible to pre-
vent the cracking and splitting of even
the best silk, so you may as well make
the most of your silk petticoat while
it is in good condition
When hemming children's dresses on
the machine, use very fine cotton, one
hundred is good. When hens or tucks
must be ripped to lengthen skirt,
the fine thread will be easy to rip. A
quick jerk will pull it out.
When the cake of toilet soap is near
ly thin enough to break, adhere to the
new cake by first immersing both in
quite warm water, then press firmly
together. When cold it will be one
solid cake. This does away with
small pieces of soap and there is no
waste.
Cut glass can be cleaned by wash
ing with warm soap suds, then Gov
ering with dry saw-dust. When the
saw-dust dries brush it with a soft
brush.
In sweeping do not use one side of
the broom all the time; change it about
often; this will keep it uniform and
as long as it lasts it will sweep well.
If your bureau drawers move in and
out with difficulty, rub soap over their
edges. If that does not remedy the
trouble, use sandpaper.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-28

rarebit, which by the way is called the
king of the chaflng dish, mushrooms.
Scotch haggis, deviled lobster and
deviled duck, and many others which
will readily come to the mind.
Ordinary sardines may be deliciously
served by it's aid. Saute a can of sar-
dimes in tablespoonful of butter.
When hot add one tablespoonful of
Worcestershire sauce, the juice of half
or be more liberal IL you use paprika.
Serve the sardines on hot toasted
crackers.
Creamed lobster or sweet breads are
easily and quickly prepared and are
usually well liked.
If you use lobster pick it into bits
with a silver fork.
Make cream dressing as follows:
Put tablespoonful of butter in chatting
dish, add a heaping tablespoon of
flour and stir to q smooth paste. Add
slowly a cup of rich milk, stirring con-
stantly until it thickens Season with
salt and plenty of paprika. Put in the
lobster and heat through. This same
sauce is good for sweet breads, chicken,
veal or mushrooms
The chatting dish is particularly nice
for porch parties or picnics, as the
food is easily kept hot over the water
pan. In using it out OF doors, however,
you will need a screen to protect 1t
from draughts.
Many persons use wood alcohol for
the chatting dish, but to some the odor
is intolerable and the chafing dish Is
pretty sure of being badly smoked
Denatured alcohol is now cheap and
has not these unpleasant characteris-
tics.
