The Habit of Taking Cold

With many people taking cold
is a habit, but fortunate one that
is easily broken. Take a cold
sponge bath every morning when
you first get out of bed-not ice
cold, but temperature of about
goo Fab. Also sleep with your
window up. Do this and you will
seldom take cold. When you take
cold take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and get rid of it quickly
as possible. Obtainable every
where.

One time honored custom has
been knocked into smitherenes by
the high cost of living. We refer
to the practice many farmers
have followed of making out their
midday meal when in town OF a
"nickle's worth OF cheese and a
few crackers" bought of their
grocer. Cheese is now costing
the merchant about 26 cents a
pound and when he weighs out a
nickle's worth the slice is hardly
as big as one wafer cracker and a
long way short Of a meal for a
robust farmer. One merchant in
Baxter has quit handling cheese
because of the high price. In
dealing out these nickel meals he
says he either has to lose money
or lose the good will of the custo-
mer, who imagines he is getting
robbed when he takes in the size
of five cents worth of cheese. So
he is now AL out of cheese"

May Abolish School

That the state school of mines
located at Weir City be abolished
has been recommended by the
Efficiency and Economy Commits
sion appointed by Gov. Capper.
Without giving any special rea-
son, the commission recommends
that the school of mines be discon.
tinued. A favorable report by
the commission was hardly ex-
pected, but the school will not be
lost to the county without a fight.
The Bell Blaser Grocery Co.,
of Columbus has made an as
signment, the second grocery
store to fail inside of a week.
The failures are due more likely
to an over supply of grocery

Charlestown, w. Va, Aug. 3d.
That the war will continue and United
States preparations go on increasingly
until the moment a peace treaty is
actually signed, is the policy OF the
United States government, according
to speech made here today by Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels, who
spoke at a ground-breaking ceremony
for the government armor plate fac
tory which is to be built here.
He declared that America is fight
ing not only for the other nations of
the world, but was waging battle
for the people Of the German empire
themselves. "Not until peace treaty
is actually signed will the United
States remit one single item from the
program of her preparations" said
Secretary Daniels to a cheering
throng who crowded the grounds of
the plant to~see the ceremonies.
Daniels declared that in preparing
for the terrible war, the navy is TAX
ing the surest means of bringing
about an early and effective. The
exact meaning of this remark is not
known, for the policy of the navy has
not been disclosed.
Daniels accused the government
with being dilatory in providing for
the war needs of the nation and that
much additional work must be done
now that should have been done in
time of peace.

WATER DROPS

Reports From District No. Tells Of
Threatened Damage if Short
age Continues
BELIEVES MAXIMUM
FLOW WILL COME SUNDAY
BIG DROP IN NIGHT
OVER zoe FOOT DECREASE IN
FLOW SINCE YESTERDAY

Although Engineer Clark of the
Irrigation District believes that 5000
second-feet of water will be passing
through Hanlon's heading by Sunday,
the gauge reading at the intake this
morning showed only 280O second feet,
a drop of over 200 second-feet since
yesterday.
A sudden fall in the river is re-
sponsible for the loss of water, even
though at the present time the water
has a four and one-haH foot head at
the weir.
Day and night shifts are working
in the quarries and by Sunday enough
stone should be in the weir to insure
a 5000 secohd-foot flow, according to
the estimates. The new dredge is
performing great service in keeping
the level of the canal from the river
to the intake on the level with the
river bed.
According to Calexico reports, a
shortage in District No. threatens
to become serious if continued much
longer. If relief is had by Sunday, as
irrigation officials are confident il
will be, any serious loss will be
averted.
