TO GET
LONG FURL0UCH

1t became known today that Chas.
G. Frisbie, chief engineer for the I'M
perial-Laguna Water Company, when
he left for Camp Lewis on Saturday
morning carried with him a request
from Secretary of the Interior Frank
lin X. Lane for furlough long
enough to enable him to complete his
estimates of the cost of the proposed
all-American canal to irrigate about
100000 acres of desert land on the
mesa.
Friends of Frisbie expect that the
furlough will be granted.
A tentative estimate of the cost of
the canal has been prepared, it was
stated today. Frisbie's figures, how
ever, are needed before it can be sub
mitted to the secretary Of the interior
for his approval.

shown that fruit would be needed by

Therefore, plant fruit trees in Cali.

Many discussions were had in re-
gard to relieving the labor, shortage.
A resolution was passed recommend
ing that the government allow Chinese
to enter this state, for farm work
only, and only for the term of the
war. A resolution was adopted to
close all saloons in the state during
the war, which would raise the eff

laws were also suggested.
Ralph Merritt, Herbert Hoover's
western representative, spoke at
length on the food situation and rec
commended that every true American
should do their bit in conserving food.
1t is the part of those at home to do

that the wires carrying the news out

PRODUCING BERRY HOLLIES

The berry-prOducing hollies are di-
vided into two species-the Opaca and
the Aquifolium. The first thrives along
the coast woodlands from New Eng
land down to New Jersey and as far
out as southern Missouri. The second
is a favorite of the English gardens,
and it finds it's best American devel-
opment along the Pacific coast.
Some of the hollies are perfect, bear
ing both the male and female parts
the pistils and the stamens-while in
many trees only one element is pres
ent. Most of the trees that are avail
able do not have the double charac-
teristic and it is necessary to plant one
staminate tree among several pistil-
lates. The Aquifolium is regarded as
the superior type where it can be
grown handily.

DRESSING THE TABLE

At all of the latest flower shows of

awarded for the best dressed tables.
The idea is to impress upon the public
the part that flowers and plants may
play in adding some psychological ef-
feet to the routine matter of eating.
The most ordinary food, served with
some garnishment of flowers, takes on
an added zest and the big flower shows
have sought to develop taste and in
terest in making the table something
more than place to put food. The
first prize table at one of the most i'm
portant shows had a centerpiece of
flowers, with individual stands for
each guest.

undoubtedly won the prize for the sue.

bulbs only cost about one cent each.
When once placed they produce beau
tiful spikes of flowers each spring.
The spikes rarely grow more than half
dozen inches high, but each of them
will produce from Is to 80 flowers,
and they are lasting. The bulbs are
planted at the same time and in the
same way as other members of the
bulb tribe, being set about three inches

MAKING THE BRIDES BOUQUET
BY ELIZABETH VAN HENTHuYsEN

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN
Many of my readers who live far
from the big cities will be surprised to
learn that in New York city some of
the big florists employ men whose sole
business in life is to make bouquets
for brides.
There has been such an enormous in
crease in the national wealth and so
much of it had, gravitated toward the
chief city of the land that it has to find
expression in many ways that would
never occur to the master of a west
ern or southern farm.
The underlying reason for the crea-
tion of the new occupation of making
special arrangements for the bridal
bouquet may probably be best ex-
planned by an incident that took place
in one of the leading New York hotels.
A woman of wealth and fashion had a
gown designed in Paris. 1t was all her
own. She was carefully arrayed for
her appearance in the dining room.
When she reached the table she
glanced across the room and Spied an
other woman wearing gown of the
same model.
The woman swept from the table in
haste.
where are you going?" asked her
escort.
ITO change this uniform" indignant
ly replied the woman of money.
That idea is the underlying princi-
pie that makes the specialist in bridal
bouquets possible. The rich and So
phisticated people of society want
something different. Whether it is a
decoration for the table, the arrange
ment of a flower bed in the lawn, or
the planning of costume it wants
to have some distinctive feature that
others have not previously used.
That is where the maker of bridal
bouquets shines. Men who have a
head for such things study the shape,
the composition and the design of each
wedding bouquet and then set their
heads to planning something of diff
ferent type for the next conner.
1t is something like trying to eat a
quail day for thirty days. No man
can undertake such a task and devote
much thought to anything else in a
town where the brides average at least
one a day in the class where the cost
of flowers is absolutely no considera-
ton if something novel can be pro-
duced.
Woe betide the young man who
sends out bridal bouquet that one of
the seasoned veterans of society can
recognize as being like the one he saw
at a previous wedding. 1t must have
distinction. 1t must be in class by
itself, and this demand has created a
field for men who can think and who
devise novel arrangements of flowers

TO LIVE LONG,!

A recipe given by q famous physician
for long life was: wKeep the kidneys in
good oFderl Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise so you sweat : the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of inflam-
nation, as backache, scalding uwater," /"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, vrusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is q
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce of Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to DR.:
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.
