COLD In
THE HEAD
10 The First Chapter In tho History
Of Chronic Disease, |

A cold In the head is the first chap
GER In the history of disease and death.
This has been so often repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples of IL.
A cold In the head Is rarely severe
enough to con1ne a vigorous person
TO the house. AS a rule, it ends I'm
recovery without any treatment. This
las led many people to regard q cold
In b head as Of no Importance. It 10

by s cold in the head as q trivial mat.
ter. Every case should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases will testify unanimously
that a few doses Is sufficient to re-
move every vestige of the cold. How
much better it is to treat a cold in this
way than it is to allow it to 60 on and
on for weeks, perhaps months, leaving
effects that will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
take Peruna for a cold in the head.
This neglect is due to the false notion
that a cold in the head Is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head is In reality q
case Of acute catarrh. 1t ought to be
called so, in order to awaken people
from their lethargy ON this subject. In
a large per cent. Of cases cold In the
head will end in chronic catarrh. Un-
less properly treated with some such
remedy as Peruna, perhaps so per
cent. of cases Of cold in the head will
lay the foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful Of Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom of
cold in the head. Usually where the
cold Is not very severe a tablespoonful
Of Peruna before each meal and at bed
time is sufficient. 1t may be neces-
sary, however, where the attack In
mor serious, to keep strictly in the
house and take a tablespoonful of
Peruna every hour. Younger people,
feeble or delicate women, should take
q teaspoonful every hour.

MAKING The DESERT

Director Newell Describes Work
Of Government Reclama-
ton Service.

To create opportunities for American
citizens Is the basic intent or the Re
clamation Act. says Frederick II,
Newell. director of the United States
Reclamation service. in the Worlds
Work. He says:
ITO make habitable millions of acres
Of worthless desert and to place there
on in homes Of their own a million
families Of progressive American citi-
zens-these are the vital things in the
work Of the Reclamation service which
I am trying to accomplish"
In the ten years of Its work the serv-
ice has built 1900 miles of canals,
enough to reach from New York to San
Francisco and back. Several Of these
canals carry whole rivers.
IT has e~xcavated 81 miles of tunnels.
Its excavations OF rock and earth
amount to the enormous total OF 3d.
100000 cubic yards.
It has built 826 miles OF road; 1904
miles Of telephones; 20 miles Of levees.
1t has purchased 1.051, 900 barrels Of
cement n has manufactured In its
W mill $40, 900 barrels.
AS a result of its work, water Is
available for 1.159,234 acres on $4,000
farms.
The gross value Of crops produced on
the ands irrigated by the government
projects in 1912 was estimated at $780,
100000. AS a result of the work Of the
government 1t is estimated that land
values have increased more than $105,-
500, 900.
Only 5 per cent of the approximately
$4,000 families nave failed to meet the
requirements; only s to Z per cent ave

consideration. So that about 95 per
cent have remained and are making

The highest dam in the world has
been built on the Shoshone project in
northern Wyoming, rising above the
foundation more than 1928 feet. A dam
still higher is under way on the Boise
river in Idaho, to be 351 feet high. On
the Rio Grande in New Mexico Is an
other dam to be 265 feet high. This
will produce possibly the largest arti-
ficial lake of it's kind in the world,
covering 65 square miles (41, 280 acres)
and having a storage capacity Of $780,
600 acre-feet. This Is an amount OF
water sufficient to cover that lumber
Of acres n foot in depth. This guam
tity of water would cover the state Of
Connecticut more than 10 inches deep.
The service has built the longest irri-
cation tunnel in the world on the I'm
compahgre project in Colorado, the
Gunnison tunnel, having a length of
nearly 6 miles and a discharge capacity
Of 1900 cubic feet per good
sized river. Practically every govern
ment in the world that is building pub
lie works has sent engineers to see
these and such other pieces Of con-
struction as the Pathfinder dam In
