To feel like young folks feel; like
you feel before your blood, nerves
and muscles became loaded with
body impurities. get from your phar-
macist quarter pound of limestone
phosphate which is inexpensive and
almost tasteless, except for a sourish
tw1nge which is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and lime

10000 ALIENS
ARE INTERNED

Douglas. Isle of Man, Dec. 16.-
Correspondence of the Associated
Press).-There are almost 10000
aliens of military age interned on this
island, all men, and they are being
supported by the government at an
approximate cost of ten shillings per
capita weekly. Elaborate camps with
modern sewage systems, have been
constructed, and q beginning has been
made in establishing workshops where
idleness can be turned into industry.
In time all the interned aliens may be
brought here. There are almost A.
600 at Alexandra Palace in London
still. There are no longer any in
termed at Frimley, near Aldershot
There are still many thousands Of
Germans, and Austrians who have not
been 1nterned and all have q chance
OF appearing before a tribunal estab-
llShed for the purpose of deciding
whether internment is desirable. When
lnterned they can communicate with
their home governments through the
American EN- bassy which still main
tains two men at the former home Of
Prince LichnoWsky in Carlton Ter
race. For many months these two
men have been Edward G. Lowry of
New York and Leland H. Littlefield Of
Providence.
The agitation calling for the whole
sale internment of enemy aliens,
which a part of the London press car
ried on most vigorously last year. has
now died down and there appears to
be no general criticism that the home
on1ce is not handling this difficult
problem fairly and successfully,

er he had seen our problem he sighed
with regret that it might not be his
fortune to see the day, that he said
would surely come, when the valley
of the Mississippi would be another
valley of the Nile, only greater in
area and more perfectly adapted to
the white mans life.
Why Should the Whole Burden Be
How these great works can be car
ried on calls for constructive thought,
not merely on the engineering side
but more Immediately upon the finan-
cial side as to those ways and means
by which the lands reclaimed shall
be made to bear in some degree the
burden of the expense. AS to the
funds which, will be needed, they
mount into such figures as to be stag
gering. And I can see no hope that
this work will be adequately under
taken without the government adj
vancing its credit and investing direct
ly some of it's own funds. We are
conducting this government from day
to day out of current revenues. Only
the richest Of people could pursue
such a policy. No private system has
been built that way. But few of the
states now construct their highway
systems out of the years revenues.
The permanent improvements which
the whole people undertake are
legitimate charge against capital ac-
count, not against maintenance. A
means by which the states and private
landowners and the national govern
ment can cooperate In paying for the
work done seems to me more need
ed body than one which will report
upon engineering methods.

Belfast, ireland, Dec. 16:-Ireland
is making a bold bid for the capture
of several markets hitherto dominated
by enemy traders" Toys, carpets.

examples OF new industries thus far

The new workshops for the manu-
facture Of dolls and toys have attract
ed large numbers Of girl and women
workers who were thrown out of en-
ployment by the hard times prevail

in Belfast and Dublin. The financial
results of the new enterprise are said
to be most encouraging.
The Turkish" carpets made in Ire
land are Of type which experts de-

that one of the largest of recent or

Peking, Dec. 16.-President Yuan
Shi-kai has approved q memorial
which cancels the 3O-year monopoly
Of cotton weaving and spinning in the
provinces of Chihli. Shantung and

the Hua-Hsin Weaving company.
Behind this memorial lies an inter-
esting international complication. AS
soon as the announcement of the
monopoly was made Japan protested,
insisting that the rights of foreigners
IN the three provinces were aggravat-
ed by the mononoly. It was also said
to violate French treaties dating back
to the middle Of the last century.
With the present international
movement against Yuan Shi-kai's re-

Az
Commission Suggested to
Investigate Ways and
Means to carry on Work.

Washington. Dec. 14.-In his forth
coming annual report Secretary Lane
says:
No one can survey the physical con-
dition Of the United States without
being impressed and almost over
Whelmed with the magnitude of the
work that must be done in keeping
our rivers within bounds and putting
them to use. 1T is the largest task
that the government must undertake
sooner or later. and the sooner in my
Judgment the better. This matter
came Immediately and most practical
3y to my attention on Il trip made in
the late spring to the lower valley OF
the Colorado river. On the Arizona
side of this river the government is
reclaiming the desert That lowland
will grow almost anything, from dates
to alfalfa. Its most helpful friend,
ard it's unreentins enemy too, is the
r'Ver itself, for without the river it
would return to cactus and sage. Yet
the river is so jealous of her freedom
that she yearly attempts with rio-
lence, and by insidious methods as
well, to reclaim for herself each foot
of land that has by stealth been taken
from her.
On the opposite side of the river,
the California side, the river is held
in by mountains until it has reached
the Mexican line. There. by IA capri.
cious turn. it deserts its old-accuS-
toned channel and flows westward
into what was once Il lake, but is now
little more than Il morass and 50
slowly finds its way to the Gulf of
, California. Immediately north of this
westward bend in the river is the I'm
perial VALLEY. which has lately been
used by several novclists to illustrate
the heroic struggle Of man with ma
ture. For this valley was once a sea
itself. and has indeed left Il sort of
rudimentary sea in lake known as
the Salton Sea. The fruitful soil of
this valley, hundreds of feet deep, Is |
the silt of the Colorado, the deposit |

Porthos under the slow caving Of tho
earth. And as long as that flood
comes the people on both sides must
watch and work as the Hollanders
have done.
There are two distinct and agrees
sire schools of thought on this matter
of keeping the Colorado in it's place
One is for sendisg the river willy-nilly
down the old channel. The other is
for letting the river live it's own life,
but keeping it off our preserves. One
may be termed the absolutist theory
and the other the democratic theory.
Congress has thus far committed it,
self to the latter. And this year,
when danger threatened, congress
joined in raising a fund to keep the
river from forcing it's way north into
the Imperial Valley, and this work
was successfully executed under this
department by the former Chief of
Engineers of the United States Army,
Gen. w. L. Marshall. No one, how
ever. believes that the work is at an
end or that we have done more than
put good patch upon it.
Now, far above this point of dan
ger there are thousands Of square
miles of land that need but the wa
ter Of the Colorado river to make
them as fruitful as the lands of the
San Joaquin or the Salt River Valley.
We need to catch that water when it
ls young, soon after it has been born
from the SHOWS. There. in mountain
valleys, it should be kept for q time
and, as needed, led into the peaceful
paths of usefulness. And on that
problem the Reclamation Service is
working. The difficulty is to find
large reservoir areas.
This instance is cited to show how
intimately the matter of food con-
troll and of reclamation are bound to-
gether. The problem extends from
sea to sea. When we come eastward.
to the Missouri and the Mississippi
for example, we find that in their up-
per reaches the lands need the wa
ters, while in their lower reaches the
lands must be saved from the waters.
:. NO one can take the yearly toll Of
lives lost and Of property DESTROYED
by the furious and unrestrained
sweep Of our rivers without realizing
that the people Of this country can
not regard themselves as owning this
land, really possessing it, until they
have brought these waters under sub
lection. And In doing this they win
literally create new land by the mil
lions of acres, lands that will support
millions of people as against the
thousands which live upon it today.
And in saying this L am not speak,
ing without authority, for a year ago
we enjoyed the value of visit from
the renowned builder Of the Assuan
Dam Sir William Willcocks, who has
spent his life in India, Mesopotami
and Egypt as river tanner. And aft
