Every woman should learn how advisable it is to rest daily and to rest in the proper way.

GRANITE REEF
 DAM |S SAVED
Workmen Complete Repair of Flood-Damaged Apron Just in Time; Water Threatens to Interfere with Construction

Fears for the safety of the Gran ite Reef dam were quieted yesterday when Project Manager w. s. Cone announced that by evening the work men, engaged in repairing the apron, would have the job completed
 During the floods last winter, the water cut back under a section of the concrete apron and undermined it. Since the river subsided, that portion of the broken apron had been replaced, except seven tenfoot' slabs, which were put in place yesterday Sunday, the first water flowed over the dam since the big flow of the spring. It caused no little anxiety. But during the morning, the water fell. and the workmen got into the stream bed and hustled the concrete into place. A system of steel rein | forcing has been put in which will obviate further damage by under mining.

HOW ID CARE FOR
 NANCE IN HORSES

Replying to an inquiry regarding a horse which is troubled with intense itching, Progessor w. s. Cunningham, assistant animal husbandman of the |. of A. experiment station, has this to say: You have not given many particulars in your letter in regard to the trouble but I believe that your horse is affected with mange. Ii will be well for you to notice the skin and see whether there is a scab- by condition and a gummy substance on the part of the surface where the horse itches most The trouble can be remedied by scrubbing the affect ed parts thoroughly with a solution of tobacco made by boiling 112 rounds in quarts of water. Rub this in well with a stiff brush. re- moving all scabs. Repeat in about ten to 15 days to kill all the mites which may have matched in the meantime The harness and other objects with which the horse comes in contact should also be washed with the tobacco solution. In case you cannot secure tobacco leaves you may Use any strong tobacco, such as Granger's Twist or other untreated tobacco. If you have on hand any of the coal tar dips such as creolin or zenoleum, they may be substi- tuted for the tobacco treatment. us- ing them in the strength recommend ed on the eontainer.

 The commission ordered that as long as Whitton had agreed in his bill of sale to supply all necessary water to the houses. it was up to him to fulfill his share of the con- tract.
