WORK PERMITTED
As RIVER LOWERS
High Water No Longer Hampers Im-
proYement on the Upper Division
of the Mississippi.

Although hampered this year from
the time of the opening of activities in
the government improvement of the
upper Mississippi river, workmen in
employ of the government bid fair to
accomplish much by the time the sea
son closes.
High water due to the rains in the
Mississippi valley caused the Father
or Waters to swell so that at times
in some places work had to he aban-
doned This was more noticeable in
the lower section of the upper stream.
It was announced al the United States
engineers Office in this city this morn
ing that stage OF the water has drop
ped Sc that now work is in progress at
all points where it was started.
Major Hoffman. in charge of the
work on the upper river. said in most
divisions of this section, only one
plant is engaged. Each division is
equipped with two fleets and two sets
of equipment, Work will likely con
tinue until the middle of November.
The project Of canaliEing the river at
lie Claire. was at no times seriously
endangered by the high water. The
construction work there was hampered
some, but as at other points further up
the river the effect Of the high water
was not as great as below here.

INCINERAT0R IS
EFFICIENT PLANT
Commissioner A. c. Steuffer of Mo-

Inspection Of an incinerator at Mol

public health and safety, the official
returning from the Wisconsin CITY
last evening The Monroe plant was
installed about a year ago under the
direction Of o. r. Hunter who is now
trying to interest the city commission
Of Moline in having similar plant
built there.
Mr.. Stouffer was favorably mi
pressed by tie incinerator In con-
Quoting his investigation ne did not
make known his identity and he feels
that the information which he obtain
ed is to be relied upon in every de-
tail
The Monroe plant is located on the
same property with the waterWorks.
From five to ten loads Of garbage are
burned daily, Monroe has a popula-
tion of less than 1000 Though the
snokestack on the Monroe building
is low and there are houses all around
the plant, there has never been q
complaint registered because Of the
odor.
Everything goes into the incinera-
toT-even tin cans and wire These
articles are removed from the fire
box with long claws. The garbage
burns from the top down and the en-,
gineer turns the stuff as it burns.
There are practically no ashes, About
a half ton OF coal is necessary for
three burnings. and there is one
burning each day.
Moline disposes Of 20 loads of garb-
age day. Figuring on the basis OF
what the Monroe one-unit plant takes

HOW SHE ENDED
TEN YEARS Of
SKIN-T0RTURE

Oct. %, 1al4;-''I had eczema on my
face for ten years. Little red pimples
formed in small spot on my chin and
then spread all over my face. They
itched and burned me awfully, It was
certainly embarrassing to me, and I
would not go amongst people. 1 tried
almost every remedy and treatment
that could be used for this trouble, but
nothing did me any good. I used Res
mol Ointment and Resinol Soap, and
was relieved in day or two. In one
month was cured. This was six
months age and the trouble has never
returned. y Signed Mrs. C. C. Rob
erts, Weatherford, Okla.
The Resinol treatment speedily heals
aezems, rashes, ringworm, and other
eruptions, and clears away disfguring
pimples and hlaekheads, even when
other treatments prove worse than use
less. Doctors have prescribed Resincl
Ointment and Resincl Soap for eigh-
teen years, and all druggists sell them.

MISSION WORKER SAVES NATIVE.
 SETTLEMENT

Away off in the wilderness, as a matter of fact the place is known to all Alaskans as "St. Johns in the Wilderness" there is a woman who is devoting her life to the natives of Alaska, and is doing for them that which she believes will be for their best interests. no one after read ing this story can deny that Deacon ness Mills performed an act that en- titles her to much thanks from every one in that part of Alaska.
 Last summer, according to advices, which have just been received here, a native wandered into the mission at St. Johns in the Wilderness, in an awful condition. He was suffer ing from smallpox The frightful toll of this dread disease is too well known to need comment. An cpl demic of smallpox would have prac- tically wiped out the Indian settle ments along the Koyukuk river.
 Deaconess Mills isolated the pa tient Then she sent to Fort Yukon, the nearest mission hospital, for vac cine Travelling up and down the river with a lot of bichloride and vac cine she made the natives wash all their clothes in boiling water in which had bee ndropped a bichloride tablet. and then she vaccinated every Indian on the Koyukuk river.
 So excellent was the work of this lone woman that the one case that wandered into the mission was the only case that was heard of An cpl demic was avoided. The patient got well.
 Deaconess Mills did wonderful work. Had she not acted as she did it is probable that the disease would have spread. An epidemic would have resulted, and many might have perished.
 It is acts of this kind that make those who question the sincerity of those good women who are devoting their lives to the education of the Alaskan natives think, and it Is acts of this kind that bring to the mis- sions in this northern country as sistance from the great Outisde.

 Thomson was visited some days ago by T. D. NJ. Cardezia, of the American embassy in Vienna, who thereupon sent the information on through dip lomatic channels to London that Thomson lives in a large, clean, we'll ventilated building, and seemed well satisfied with his lot in Vacz.
