The Great Flood of 1905.

The California Development Company
proved to be a speculation and the actual
investments we're small compared with
the proceeds derived from the sales Of
land. All of the irrigation works were
done as cheaply as possible. and to in
crease the inflow from the Colorado river
into the irrigating canals channel
about half a mile long was eXcavated in
1904 at a point four miles above the inter-
national boundary. During the great
flood of the Colorado river in November
1903. the swift flowing waters enlarged
this cut from its original dimensions
forty feet wide by eight feet deep-to a
width of 100 feet and a depth of more
than twenty feet. and the managers Of
the Irrigation company entirely lost con-
troll Of the situation.
Conditions made 1t impossible to head
off this flow There was no material to
use for dams, and if the company could
have employed all the shovels in the
world the water would still have carried
away everything they could have thrown
into It,

Health and Beauty Answers
BY MRS. MAE MARTYR.

{. S. S: The secret of good health
is really very simple. Tor that listless,
exhausted feeling and to clear up your
sallOw pimply skin, you should take a
good tonic to rid your system of the
impurities in the blood. YOU will find
nothing better than this oldfashioned
tonic: Get an ounce of kardene and
One-half pint alcohol at any drug store
mix together, then add one-half cup
sugar and hot water to make a full
quart. tablespoonful taken before
each meal will soon clear your skin of
pimples, sallowness and bring back the
glow of health to your cheeks. You
will recover your lost appetite and en-
JOY the feeling of perfect health. AS a
body-builder and health-restoring tonic
! have never seen anything to equal this
simple homemade remedy.
Mrs. H. r: (a) To give your hair
that soft, glossy sickness so much ad-
mired. use twice a week the following
hair tonic: Mix one ounce quinzotn in
one-haIf pint alcohol, then add one-half
pint cold water. This tonic promotes
the health Of the hair and scalp and
keeps the hair soft and from getting
stringy and matted. 1t stops the hair
most instantly. For itching scalp you
will find 1t very refreshing.
(b) Yes your husband will find spur
max lotion very fine to use after shaw
ing.
Clara s.: If you want a smooth, rosy
complexion that possesses the charms
of youthfulness. you must not use pow
der on your face. 1t clogs up the skin
pores. enlarges them and oftimes causes
wrinkles. The following recipe is much
better than powder as it does not show
on the skin or rub off so easily: Dis
solve four ounces of spurmaX in one
half pint hot water; when cool add two
teaspoonfuls glycerine. Apply to the
skin, rubbing gently until dry. AS a
skin whitener and complexion beauti-
fer you will find 1t simply grand.
find il excellent for removing and pre-
venting freckles. skin pimples, rough
ness, sunburnt and chapping in the
wind. This lotion will take off the shine
to your skin and remove that sallow,
greasy look.
T. A V: Never shampoo with soap.
The alkali in soap is too strong for the
hair and will make 1t coarse, faded and
streaky. It is also dangerous to use
so called dry shampooes" as the pow
der simply clogs up the pores in the
scalp, causing dandruff and falling, split
hairs. To make a good, beneficial sham
poo that will be absolutely satisfactory,
simply dissolve a teaspoonful Of canthrox
in a cup of hot water. This makes
fine lather that removes thoroughly all
dirt and excess oil. After shampooing
