GREAT SYSTEMS OF LOCKS.
Is Being Laid in South Australia for
Irrigation Purposes.

Adelaide, South Australia, July 22.-
What is hailed as inaugurating a new
and important era in the industrial de-
yelopment OF the Australian common
wealth was the laying al Blanchetown
on the river Murray, June of the
foundation OF the first lock OF a great
system of locks and weirs. which will
harness this great waterway TO the bet
ter use of the Australian people. The
system, together with the water stor-
age at Lake Victoria and Cumbenoona,
will provide for irrigation on a huge
scale as well as the use of the Murray
waterway for trade and commerce.
What the Nile Is to Egypt, and the
Mississippi is to the United States the
Murray is TO Australia. The Murray
river System is one OF the longest nsvi.
gable in the world, at times fofr more
than 1900 miles.
For something like half century the
control of its waters has been vexed

states most vitality concerned New

AUSTRALIA is ORGANIZING
In Order to Supply Munitions to the I'm.
perial Government.

Melbourne, Australia, July 22.-Steps
are being taken by the commonwealth
government, state governments and by
firms and individuals to try TO supply
the imperial government with munitions,
in view of the enormous importance in
this war Of unceasing provisions of shells
and the like.
The general idea is to organize the
facilities of Australia in this direction,
and to this end. the minister for de-
tense, Senator George +. Pearce, has
named a special committee to 60 into the
co-relatiye questions of the amount and
character OF the war material being fur
nished to the federal government by
Australian manufacturers; the govern
ment's own manufacture OF war mate
rial; and the contracts now in force be-
tween the British war Office and the Aus
tralian manufacturers. This committee,
which will be almost a departmental
body in its functions, viii cooperate
with committees which are TO be chos.
en- by comercial bodies.
Besides this the Australian Chamber
of Manufactures has been asked by the
defense department 20 appoint a com.
mittee Of experts TO go into the sub
jects Of marshalling the various trades
and ascertsining the capacity Of each fac
tory. BY these means IL i expected a
more or less definite knowledge will be-
gained Of what Australia can do 90 as.
sist Great Britain and how that assist
ance can be rendered.
Meanwhile companies and employers
all over Australia are showing the great
est desire and willingness TO supply mu.
nitions but are awaiting directions.
In reference 20 ammunition for small !
arms, Senator Pcarcc said In recent 4
that the commonwealth was
already fully capable Of more than sup.
plying its own requirements and the /
surplus was being put into tho common
fund Of the empire" There has, how.
nvcr. been a great deal Of discussion in
the federal Parliament and IL ncwspa.

FEVERISH TRADING
IN WAR SHARES
Bethlehem Steel Makes Record at 200
and American Can at

New York, July 22.-Shares of the va
rious industrial and equipment compan-
les now engaged in carrying out large
contracts for the allied armies and ma
vies of Europe were again the center of
feverish trading at higher prices yester-
day. New records were made by Beth
lehem Steel at 200 and American Can
at $50, the latter being the most ac-
tive feature of the morning session, its
overnight gain representing four and one
fourth points.
Other stocks participating in these
war contracts also figure in the boom to
the extent of two TO four points. United
States Steel. the usual leader, was ac-
tive at point rise, but the other old.
time favorites, notably investment rail-
ways, were under pressure or utterly
neglected.

Raw Onions Cure Colds.

| To eat a raw onion is an old remedy
for curing a cold, and many have found
that it works well in practice. But why
the onion should possess this curative
property few have taken the time TO
ascertain; in fact, not one in hundred
can give the exact reason or reasons.
Some may say that the smell drives the
cold away, but that is frivolous.
There is an oil found in the onion,
chiyes. radish and horseradish that plays
an important part in curing the cold.
This oil and the sulphur which is also
contained in these plants have a deadly
effect upon the harmful germs that flour
ish in various parts of the body and are
the chief cause of the common cold
From the best authorities we learn
that colds are caused by three things-a
chill, a germ and uric acid tendency
which provides soil for the germs
growth. The pungent oil of the onion
neutralizes and destroys the germs that
infect the mouths of ms all, even of
those in good health.
In normal health the mucous mem.
brane forms a protecting wall against
the attacks of the germs, but when it is
infamed as is the case during cold,
the delicate lining OF the nose, throat
and mouth affords but little or no pro-
lection. The cold and pneumonis germs
then gain foothold because the disease.
resisting powers are weakened
Since the oil of the onion is deadly
foe 10 the dangerous microbe of colds,
il should not be considered food that
we should avoid. and etiquette on this
point needs correction.
The onion is, properly speaking. veg
etable, but, because Of its strong flavor,
il is often regarded as a spice There |
are other spices that have beneficial
effect upon the human system II taken
in moderation. and while they are said
TO be harmful If used to excess. IL is
evident that they add flavor and relish /
10 our foods. Ginger. cinnamon. cloves.
pepper and the abused onion, by stim-
Hating the flow of saliva and the gastric
n stomach juices, help digestion if not
Ised 10 excess.

Topics of the
Home and
Household.

| A bit of charcoal mixed with clear wa
ter and thrown into the sink will act al
purifier and disinfectant.
If stove is not equipped with broil.
er, try heating pan piping hot. Put
the steak into this without greasing
and turn as soon as it is scared at the
bottom. Keep turning until the meat is
done.
Cracks in cooking stove can be salts
factorily filled by a paste made of six
parts OF common wood ashes to one
part table salt. Mix with cold water.
Properly mixed it will prove lasting and
will take backing.
If you have cane seated chair that
is beginning to sag, sponge it well with
hot, soapy water, taking care not to
have it come in contact with the var
nish. This tightens the shreds of cane
and brings it back to its former shape.
Weeds on gravel walks may be de-
stroyed and prevented from growing
again by copious dressing Of the cheap
est salt. This is a better method than
hand pulling, which disturbs the gravel
and renders constant raking and rolling
necessary. One application early in the
season and others as may be needed,
while the weeds are small, will keep the
walks clean and bright.
II is a mistake to suppose that heal
thy complexion needs no care. 1t needs
a good deal OF care in order to keep it
healthy. A daily facial bath of soap
and water is not enough even to keep the
skin clean if one lives in big city where
SCOT and dirt abound, for soap and wa
ter do not reach the inner pores, and
unless these are treated to cleansing |
with cold cream they viii become clogged
n short order, so the daily bath of cold
'ream or some other cleansing property |
S just as necessary to a healthy, clean
as soap and water.
