cises were held here at the dam, about
125 miles up the river from Ell Paso
and about 175 miles below Albu-
querque and marked the completion
of the reclamation services greatest
project, one of the most pretentious of
it's kind in the history of the world.
The Elephant Butte dam is a mass
of concrete and steel thrown across
the Rio Grande on the desert of
New Mexico at the point where a great
rock, shaped like a mastodonic ele-
plant, seems to drink from the Rio
Grande.
This giant impounding dam has
formed the largest irrigation reservoir
in the world. More than forty-five
miles in length and eight miles across,
the lake stores the melted SHOWS of the
Colorado and New Mexican mountain
ranges and these waters are allowed to
flow thru the spillways of the dam
when the land needs moisture AT
the conclusion of the elaborate dedi-
catory exercises, the first session of
the Twenty-third international Irriga-
ton congress was held at the dam.
1.-The dedication of Elephant Butt :
dam today is an event of worldwide
Importance" said James G. McNary,
chairman of the board of control of
the Irrigation congress. 1T will JUS
tify the faith of the people of the
southwest, who have staked their all
on the fertility of the soil and the
ability of the project to carry waters
to the lands when most needed. 1t
will reward the pioneer men and wo-
men of the lower Rio Grande valleys
from Albuquerque to Old Mexico.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
% hot water with phosphate
in it before breakfast.

Headache of any kind is caused by
auto-int oXication-which means self
poisoning Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart, which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing Vio-
lent, throbbing pain and distress,
called headache You become nerv-
GUS Respondent, sick, feverish and
miserable, your meals sour and al
most nauseate you. Then you resort
to acetanilide, aspirin or the bro
mides, which temporarily relieve but
do not rid the blood of these irritat-
ing toxins.
A glass of hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
drink before breakfast for awhile. will
not only wash these poiSons from your
system ard cure you of headache, but
will cleanse. purify and freshen the
entire alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. 1t is
most ia steless, except for a sourish
twinge,. which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake up with
bad taste, foul breath or have colds,
indigestion, biliousness, constipation
or sour. acid stomach, begin the phos-
phated Rot water cure to rid your
system of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache or
know a miserable moment.-Adv.

the public and Topeka will have a
chance to see its first municipal statue

The Lincoln statue in Lincoln,

Gently paid 5000 for a bronze statue
of General Mcpherson.
The Lincoln statue is an old dream
among Topeka club women, art lovers
and members of patriotic societies of
the city. Some years ago they entered
into correspondence with Gutzum
Borglum about such a statue. His an
sWer was-$30,000.
Mr.. Gage was Mr. Borglum's favor

make the statue the Woman's club re-

Enthusiastically recommending the
young Kansas sculptor
War prices have invaded the field
of art and the bronze in the statue
alone will cost more than $4,000 Fol-
lowing the completion of the modelling
it must be shipped to New York to be
cast at heavy expense. 1t is pos
sible to cast it in Chicago much
cheaper but Gage is taking no chances
with Topeka's first municipal work
of art.
Altho the cost of the bronze. the ex
pense of casting freight, etc, may be
more than the expected amount, To-
peka is still to have the statue for the
original estimate, $4,000, according to
statement made by Mrs. William
kercher of the Woman's club, who is
largely directing the weeks campaign.
Save Your Pennies.
Three thousand Lincoln pennies ar
rived at the Bank of Topeka this
morning. so be wary of having a bill
changed unless you are expecting to
contribute to the Lincoln statue fund.
The bank has pledged itself to pay
pennies wherever possible and prac-
tically all of the stores of the city are
going to follow suit.
But no one need walk away with
several pounds of copper in his jeans.
The Lincoln statue fund committee
has considerably located glass Jars
close to the places where change is
made in the various stores. Several
hundred of them are to be scattered
thru the business district and it is
hoped that it will be necessary to
hold overflow meetings for the Lin
coin pennies unable to gain entrance
in the jars by next Saturday night.
/ The plan of the committee is to get
/ every Topekan to follow the precepts
/ of this slogan: Every penny that I
| get this week shall go towards the
| Lincoln statue"

MEN FULL OF FIGHT
1t Is That Instinct Which Makes fol
Religion, says Doctor Kulp.

TT is the idea of having a fight that
appeals to the human instincts in man
and causes him to conquer new worlds
or make war on his fellowman," Dr.
Edmund James Kulp told his congre-
cation in his first sermon delivered in
his new charge, the First NJ. Z.
church.
THE modern Christian has lost the
art of appeal to his fellow men to
join in with the church and do good, -
he said Christ did not appeal to
men to follow him because of the hap
piness supposed to be gained by be-
coming a Christian He appealed to
the daring side of their natures by
telling them of the many hardships
that would be encountered in follow
ing in his footsteps.
1T is a constant fight in order to
be a consistent Christian and Topeka
is as good place as any other to keep

BIG CROWD AT CELEBRATION
Dodge City Pioneer Couple Entertain
300 for Golden Wedding.

Dodge City, Kan, Oct 16.-One of
the biggest social events in Ford
county this fall was the celebration of
the golden wedding anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs. Matthias Droste of the
Windhorst neighborhood. 1t was an
all day celebration attended by 800 or
more of their friends and neighbors,
and was one of the most interesting
affairs of its kind in the history of
the county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Droste were among
the earliest settlers in the Windhorst
community, and have lived there con-
tinuously since they first sttled in the
neighborhood. Probably none of the
residents of the eastern part of the
county have a large acquaintance and
certainly none are held in higher
esteem.
