FOREST RESERVE AT
 WORK FOR WILLIAMS

The Forest Reserve is doing no little to keep Williams on the map as an up-to-date, progressive town.
 The activities of the Boy Scouts have been supported by the Forest Reserve people who have provided teams for hauling rubbish gathered by the Scouts. In this way the work of the Scouts has resulted in a very much improved appearance of the Town.
 The Forest Service does not stop, with team work. A new dump ing ground for Williams has been provided by the Service which will enable the Town to put it's garbage out of sight and in place that will relieve the Town of all possible insanitary consequences. A ravine west of Town and we'll to the ight of the Ash Fork road has been selected and its use as dumping ground for Williams garbage has been granted.
 If Williams people will be care- ful to observe the rules governing: the accumulation and disposal of garbage and report violations of the rules by the thotless and care less, there can be no reasonable complaint on the part of stickle1s for cleanliness and sanitation. Health and beauty will both be promoted.
 The Forest Service proposes to be helpful, also, to campers who. are travelling thru the country, Good camping grounds will be selected along the routes of travel and fireplaces will be constructed and receptacles for trash placed on the grounds for use of those who camp.

Fire Destroys Mexican's Home

Ramon Negritti, Mexican liv- ing at the south end of Second street, lost two houses and a barn by fire early Monday morning. It is not known how the fire started, but it was well under way when the fire department got on the job. The elevation of the ground where the house was is considerable and a fire plug was not very convenient, so some time was lost in getting water onto the burning building The fire boys succeeded, however, in preventing the further spread of the fire.
 Negritti lost, besides his build- ings, some household effects and a part of his flock of hens.

HOW MUCH Is THE
 WATER PLANT WORTH ?

discuss the feasibility of munich pallzing the Williams public utili ties, by purchasing the property of the Williams Water & Electric Co. will be understood, tho it was not so stated.
 In discussing the purchase ques- ton the News desires only to see, if basis may be found for friend ly negotiations between the Town and the Water and Electric com pany. While the company is not seeking to sell its property, as far as the News knows, it has offered to sell. While the Town is making no considerable effort to buy the company's property, the News assumes that it would buy, if it could do so on terms satisfactory to the people of Williams. Below is presented a discussion of price, reduced to mathematical terms, which Is offered as tentative, mere ly, for at least one of the factors involved is subject to modifica- tion. The discussion of price will center largely on these factors.
 The News accepts the income figures of the Water & Electric Cc. The net income of $14, 900 must be depended on to meet the expense of purchase, of interest on bonds, of replacement and to make up to the Town the loss of taxes. The News assumes an issue Of 30 year , per cent bonds with which to make the purchase, which the Water & Electric Co., has offered to accept in payment for their proper. ty.
 The News assumes that, if the funds set aside annually to create a sinking fund with which to pay off the bonds at the end of 30 years are invested judiciously as they accumulate, 3 per cent of the pur- chase price will be sufficient for this purpose.
 The News assumes that 2 per cent of the purchase price, set aside each year and used when needed, will provide for the deterioration of the property and constitute a replacement fund. This fund is necessary to make ownership safe.
 In purchasing the property of the Water < Electric company, Williams would lose annually about $l, 900 in taxes.
 Now arran ging these factors in a mathematical formula, an equation with single unknown quantity, the tentative price Williams can afford to pay, represented by in the equation, there appears the follwing expression:
 5x 3X 2X
 -- plus plus plus 1OOO-
 100 100 100
 equals 4,OOO
 The solution of this simple equa- tion gives $l3O,OOO. which under assumption that the factors are cor rect, Is the price which the Town of WlIlims could afford to pay for the property of the Williams Water x Electric Co. At this price the purchase would be feasible, the consumers of water and electr. c current footing the bill.
 Were Williams to municipalize h public utilities, the Town would have to increase the capacity of the reservoir in the canyon to supply ot Water adequate for any emergency.
 The water and electric rates of Williams are high. They would have to remain about where they are for the present, probably, but with consumption increased, it should be possible 10 lower them later

DAINTY MENU FOR BREAKFAST
First Meal of the Day Is Of Consid-
cradle Importance to All the
Family.

The question of the breakfast menu
depends upon the individual taste.
The fruit should not be too cold. The
fruits in season should naturally be
served. If the tray is of ample size
a small compete filed with cherries
and currants arranged together on
shaved ice is attractive. Oranges
should never be sent up on tray un-
prepared. Hot toast, preferably un-
buttered, seems to be growing in favor
for breakfast, though other hot breads
are frequently served.
PopoVers and crisp corn mullins are
excellent for breakfast if they can be
served as soon as baked, and with
them there should be marmalade of
some variety. 1t is a wise plan to see
that the tray is always supplied with
q little jar of jam or marmalade.

WHEN THE MEAT is BOILED
some Simple Rules That Must Be OBJ.
served If the Best Results
Are to Be Had,

Boiled meats to be palatable and
JUICY must be cooked with care and a.
ways below the boiling point. To hon
meat plunge it into a kettle of boiling
water, boil rapidly for five minutes to
seal or cement the juices on the out
side, then push it to the back of the
stove where it cannot possibly boil. but
viii remain at about $50 degrees Fab
renheit for six or eight hours. A piece
OF boiled meat should be juicy, tender
and rich in flavor. Add salt one hour
before the meat is done.
In all methods of cooking the OBJ
Ject is to make the meat tender. to
increase it's flavor, and to retain it's
juices. No matter which of the meth
DDS you choose to accomplish this, we
must quickly scar the outside of the
meat to prevent the entrance of water
and the escape of the juices.
In making soups purchase the shin
or leg of beef, and use cold water to
draw out the favoring juices. The
object is directly opposite from boil
ing. By using cold water and cook
ing the meat at low temperature,
we get the favoring and stimulating
parts of the meat, but we cannot make
meat soup nutritious unless we add
other materials. Clear and hot, it is
stimulating, but has no food value.

"ANURIC!''
NEWEST in CHEMISTRY

This is a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, head of the Invalids' Hotel.
Buffalo, N. Y. Experiments for sew
eral years proved that there is no
other eIiminator Of uric acid compa-
rable. For those easily recognized
symptoms of infiammation-as back
ache, scalding urine and frequent urf-
nation, as well as sediment in the
urine, or if uric acid in the blood has
caused rheumatism, "Anuric' acts
quickly. In rheumatism of the joints,
in gravel and govt, invariably the
pains and stiffness which so frequently
and persistently accompany the dis
ease rapidly disappear.
