How Thew Measured.

From the meadow the road began
to ascend, and about noon we started
to climb Greeley Hill thirteen mile
road leading to its summit. AS the
afternoon began to wane, and we had
zigzagged our way over what seemed
to us thirteen miles of road, we met q
resident of the region and ventured to
ask him how they measured miles in
that country.
"'Oh, we just let a greyhound loose
and when he drops dead, that's a
mile was the reply."-Suburban Life

over Blouses and S! ouIder Yokes.

An over blouse affords clever way
of introducing the skirt material In
the blouse to a coat suit Often the
material Is too heavy to be used for
the entire waist. but If the over blouse
Is developed IN the cloth the under
waist of sheer chiffon or silk wolfe
gives a dainty and light effect.
Often the underwaist is of sheer
batiste or white net, which can be
Numbered when soiled, and sometimes
the over blouse is not attached to the
skirt, SO that 1t can be worn on bleak.

the narrow brim and almost covering

is absolutely no trimming, but the

ties in a bow at the back when the
veil is placed over the face and this

EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood Is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. Or course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial OF strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which 1t is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

The death of Moses S. Ramsell
came as a great shock to the old set.
tiers Of Wapello county. He passed
away on his eighty-fourth birthday.
He was born near Bangor, Maine, on

failed a few years ago and he went
to Colorado, hoping the change might
do him good. Last Monday he passed

tants Of the stricken territory. There
are nearly 10000 square miles Of terri
tory, subject to damage and destruc.
ton by floods, and the people owning
these lands have provided $60,0O0,000
towards constructing the levees pre-.
scribed by the Mississippi river com.
mission, but as will be seen by the
levee cross section sketch, they have
not completed more than 60 per cent
of the necessary work although they
have been striving steadily toward that
end. --
The heavy shaded portion Of the
sketch shows a cross section of a
typical levee in the present system
which, with the exception Of five
crevasses, aggregating about Ave
miles, withstood the unprecedented
flood Of 1913. The full section shown
by the dotted surface or lightly shaded
area, represents cross section of a
levee in the perfected system to which
the U. s. Mississippi river commission
has been working, and which it de-
clares will withstand all future floods.
The Mississippi river commission
estimates that 200,O00,OOO cubic yards
of earth are yet to be put in place on
the entire 1888 miles of levees paral-
telling the river before the system will
be completed and fixes its cost at
$58 100000.
In view of the fact that the levee
system has never been completed &C.
cording to the plans of this commits
sion, it is not fair to say that a few
crevasses demonstrate the complete
inefficiency of the levee system, The

| The main trunk of the Mississippi
river, reaching from the mouth of the
Ohio river to the Gulf Of Mexico, dis
lance Of 1000 miles, receives the water
from so many millions of acres of ma
tional domain, that the treatment OF
this main outlet ought to be viewed
from a national standpoint and dealt
with as national problem.
Flood waters from 81 states and q
part of Canada converge at the head
Of this 1000 mile outlet and should be
conducted to sea so as not to damage
the property lying adjacent to it. 1t Is
the opinion of all civilian and United
States engineers, who have studied
the subject that properly constructed
levee system is the only feasible and
economical method OF preventing
floods in the Mississippi river below
Cairo. A government commission In
1850 reported: '.f'
1.-THE plan Of levee which has al
ways recommended itself by its sim
plicity, can be relied upon for pro-
tecting all Of the tlluvial bottom lands
liable to inundation."
Another United States commission
in 1875 so decided. The senate COM
mittee of commerce in 1898 declared:
From all the evidence taken by
your committee it is evident that the
basins along the Mississippi river can
only be protected from floods by an
ample and complete system Of levees
from Cairo to the head of the passes"
Col. Townsend, one OF the ablest
engineers Of this country was stationed
in Memphis for over six years in
charge of this section of the river;
he also spent many years on other
sections of the river and has investi-
gated the levee system Of foreign coun-
tries. In speech delivered in Mem
