VIII Reduce Rates Further.

That the Idaho-Oregon Light &
Power company proposes to make
l further reduction in rates in Ida
ho is the statement made by Sim
clair Mainland of Oshkosh, Wis,
treasured of the company, who is
in Boise. In speaking of conditions
Mr.. Mainland yesterday said:
Work on the Ok Bow has been
continued with a reduced force OF
men, Notwithstanding the financial
conditions of the past II months
The work will be pushed more rap
idly from this time forward. We
have progressed so far that it is safe
for US to contract for all new bus
mess during the coming season.
You will remember that two
years ago We inaugurated our poll
icy of reducing prices. At that time
he average reduction was 25 peri
cent. Since then we have made an
other reduction of 10 per cent.
This was done because the company
could afford it in view of the in
creased patronage. You know up
to certain point the larger the out
put we can have the cheaper the
can be made and it has
always been our policy to give re-
auctions whenever the conditions
them. Therefore we made
he reductions mentioned and in con
.inuance of that policy we expect
shortly TO make further reduction
n rates. Statesman.

"The Third Degree" Tonight.

Charles Klein, author of THE Third
Degree" and other successes, makes
no secret of the manner in which he
endows his characters with virility
and life. He admits frankly that he
takes them from real life.
Mr.. Klein says that whenever he
sketches a character from life, ii lends
a tinge of nature which a mere crea-
ton Of the dramatist's brain can not
possible accomplish.
The characters in THE Third De.
gree stand out as human beings for
the simple reason that they are one
and all transplanted to the dramatic
stage of human existence. 1t would
indeed be difficult to conceive a more
charming, convincing and natural
heroine for any play than Annie JEFF
Tries, the splendid specimen of young
American womanhood in Mr.. Klein's
justly celebrated masterpiece, "The
Third Degree" which comes to the
Colonial theater tonight.

MAKE CONCRETE WATER TANK
Directions for Making Large Reccpta-
clio That IL Not Apt to Crack
During Winter.

In reply to a request for directions
for making a concrete water tanks
about twelve feet long, three feet
wide and two and one-half feet deep,
the Breeders Gazette publishes the
following:
Excavate until solid bottom is
reached, or say twelve inches, and
fill in six inches with gravel or Gin
ders packed solidly. Then fill with

inches and on this place the forms.
The outside form should be perpen.
d~icular, and the inside form ten niche
smaller on each side at the bottom
and five inches smaller on Zach side
at the top for a tank two fees deep,
so that the wall will be five inches
thick at the top and ten inches at the
bottom. By making it Il this way it
is not only stronger, but freezing in
winter will not be apt to crack it, as
the ice can expand upward.
The mixture may be made of one
part cement. two of sand and four
Of crushed stone, or if Of gravel with
about one-third sand, one barrel OF
cement to one yard Of gravel. Mix
wet or sloppy" and fill in at once
md all should be DIRE before the
bottom is thoroughly set. OF course
the forms should be made tight and
well braced and around the top it
might be we'll to place two strands OF
large wire, say No. s or Nc. 6. Place
these about two inches from the top
and outside. After one day take out
the inside form and wash the inside
with a mixture of one part cement
and two of sand, spreading it on
thickly with a whitewash brush
Keep it covered from the hot sun until
Elled with water which may be done
In two or three days.
The inlet and outlet pipes should
be put in place before placing the
bottom. A good way for the overflow
is to make it in two pieces of pipe, q

PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with a very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, it came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she vas quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
81 consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her %teething.
I used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then I
wrote for a book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. l did as l
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was n year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
(Signed) Mrs. Freeman Craver, 311
Lewis ST., Syracuse, N. Y, May 6,

Ointment are sold everywhere, a sam
pie of each, with 32-page book, will
be mailed free on application to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. 2 X, Boston.

A HIT
What She Gained by Trying Again.

A failure at first makes us esteem
final success.
A family in Minnesota that now en-

how good it is il the mother had been
discouraged by the failure Of her
first attempt to prepare it. Her son
tells the story:
1--WE had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home a
package M evening just to try it. We
had heard from our neighbors, and in
fact every one who used it. how we'll
they liked it.
well, the next morning Mother
brewed 1t about five minutes, just as
she had been in the habit Of doing
with coffee without paying special at
tention to the directions printed on
the package. 1t looked weak and
didn't have a very promising color, but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air OF exceptancy. 1t certain.
ly did give him a great surprise, but
I'm afraid it wasn't a very pleasant
one. for he put down his cup with a
look of disgust.
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and next morning gave it another trial,
letting It stand on the stove till boil
ing began and then letting it boil for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and this
time we were all SO pleased with it
that we have used it ever since.
Father was a confirmed ~dyspeptic
and a cup of coffee was to him like pol
son. So he never drinks it any more,
but drinks Postum regularly. He isn't
troubled with dyspepsia now and is
actually growing fst, and I'm sure
Postum is the cause Of it. All the chill

IN REPAIRING A DIRT ROAD
Few Little Hints That Will Tend to
Make Work Of Fixing Up
Highway Easier.

In repairing a dirt road:
Don't fill up the holes and ruts in
the dirt road with brush, with rocks
en- top, and a little dirt to cover the
rocks; but fill up the hole with dirt
Of the same character as the balance
of the road.
Don't throw all the refuse from the
bitches into the middle of the road,
thus softening the surface and de-
stroying the solid, Arm bed that you
have obtained by previous work; hut
throw this material out on the OPP
posite sida of the ditch.
Don't leave the center Of the road
the lowest point; but make it the
highest and give the surface of the
road a slope of about 1 in 20 to the
side ditch.
Don't carry the water across the
surface Of the road from one side to
the other; but carry 1t by means of
culverts underneath the road.

Onions In Winter.

To keep onions over winter put them
In a dry location, such as a barn loft.
and spread them on the floor or on
shelves in thin layers. If they should
happen to freeze it will not damage
them provided they are not disturbed
when frozen. They should be covered
with sheets of paper in order to assist
In preventing sudden thawing. but
usually II the layers Of onions are not
so thick and the location is dry. they
VIII keep without dihlculty.
