CLARK IS BUSY WITH
PEOPLE IN N0RTAEND

In spite of the rainy weather and
the bad conditions which prevailed in
the Valley for few days, H. H.
Clark, the general manager for the
Imperial Valley Farm Lands Associ-
alton and the agent for the Calipa-
tria lands, was kept busy showing this
property.
Many people from the different
Valley towns took this opportunity
of visiting Calipatria, as it was al
most impossible to carry on any work
at home, and they wree agreeably
surprised at the tremendous activity
that was taking place on the lands
around this town.
From present indications it is safe
to say that nearly double the amount
of acreage will be in crop this year
over that of the year before and
farmers on every hand are rushing
improvement work to get their land
ready for crop.

well, an ambitious real estate brok-
er, and Wilson Howard, young ply
sician, are friends. Both are in love
with Alice Duncan, who chooses Rob-
ert. Wilson, detected, decides to ac-
cept an offer to assist an old ply
sician on a lepers' island. Robert
and Alice are married. Robert, in the
meantime, has accumulated great
wealth and is so eager to increase it
that he has not time for his wife and
son. The son is taken i'll and dies,
and Alice is heartbrokeh over the loss
and also the seeming Indifference of
her husband.
Charlotte, an adventures, and her
lover-accomplice, Duval, plan to get"
Robert, who is an easy victim. He
neglects his wife and his home. His
wife receives box of flowers which
were intended for the adventures, and
she decides to leave him. She boards
steamer bound for the Orient, and
leaves no trace of her whereabouts.
During the voyage the vessel on which
she is comes into the path of a ty-
hpoon and is wrecked. Alice and three
men escape on raft which brings
them to the shore of the lepers' ISL
and. Wilson is amazed when he
comes to look after his charges, to
find that the unconscious woman is
Alice, the one he loves.
A few days later Robert reads an
account of the wreck in the paper, and
believes his wife dead. He then real
ICES his love for her and their son.
Wilson nurses Alice back to health in
DR.. Myers home, where they discov-
er their love for each other, but fate
brings Robert, who is now a physi-
cal wreck, to the same island, where
he is, discovered by Wilson. Wilson
realizes that Robert stands in the way
of the happiness which he and Alice
had dreamed and talked of, but does
his best to bring him back to health.
Despite the care of Wilson and DR..
Myers, Robert dies. Wilson tells Alice
of the death of her husband. They
both realize that nothing now stands
between them, and they plan to get
married.

Swiss to Settle in California.
(By United Press)

(By United Press)
Santa Barbara, Feb. 5.-Tired of
war-ridden Europe, though their own
country is at peace, a number of
Swiss people want to settle in sun
ny California as soon as they can
leave Switzerland safely, and have
written to the local Chamber of Com
merce about it.
A letter to the Chamber of Com
merce was written by DR.. Dana Hurl-
burt, who lives in Les Francs Laysin
a small town near the French bor-
der. He asked for information about
farm land in Santa Barbara coun.
ty.
"From what we can learn" says
DR.. Hurlburt's letter, "Santa Barbara
is situated in the mountains somewhat
like our own little city. Several Of
US want to come and settle in south
ern California"
A reply, giving full information
has been forwarded.

LEROY HO[T'S FRIENDS
sTRoNGF0R CANDIDATE

Sentiment among the people of Ell
Centre and vicinity in favor of re-
tanning Leroy Holt on the board of
directors of Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict is claimed to have developed
much more strongly since the an
nouncement made by committee OF
100 citizens setting forth nine rea-
sons why Mr.. Holt should be elected.
Investigation among the business men
Of Ell Centre, together with leading
ranchers of the territory contiguous
to the city, apparently indicates that
the choice of Mr.. Holt for the place
he now holds on the board of direc-
tors will be made practically unani-
nous at the election Wednesday.
Probably no question pertaining to
the Imperial Irrigation District has
stirred up so much interest among
the people of Ell Centre as the COM
ing election of a director from this
division. The Committee of One
Hundred makes the statement that,
as chairman of the district board of
directors, Mr.. Holt has obtained the
confidence of the general public and
the outside capital upon which so
much of the districts welfare de-
pends. 1t is also stated that harmony
has been restored on the district board
of directors and for this reason a
change would be detrimental to the
important work now under way hav-
ing to do with porper diversion and
distribution of water. The fact that
harmony has also been restored be-
tween the district officials and the
federal departments with which the
district is often compelled to work in
questions regarding the Colorado riv-
er flow is pointed to with emphasis
by those who are desirous of seeing
Mr.. Holt retained on the board of di-
rectors. The four other directors of
the district have boldly declared they
favor Mr.. Holt on the board, believ-
ing him to be the mainstay of the
district at this time.
Because of the financial questions
that enter into the main work of the
Irrigation District, efforts are being
made, according to reports today, to
make the election of Mr.. Holt as
nearly unanimous as possible, such a
result, it is claimed, having much to
do with the quick and profitable sale
of district bonds.-Adv.

MOTHERS TOLD ABOUT
CHILD WELFARE

Miss Flora Cooper, organizer of
Child Welfare Circles, branch of
the National Congress Of Mothers,
has been calling on the mothers of
Ell Centre and announces she is meet
ing with marked success.
The greatest avocation, constantly
requiring the unsparing service of
millions of women, is the rearing of
the household. The most universal
and essential of employments, it re-
mains the most neglected Of science,
a neglect long hidden behind tradi-
tion and sentimentality.
The Child Welfare Circle will aim
to raise the standard of home life;
to give young people opportunities
to learn how to care for children, so
that. when they assume the duties of
parenthood they may have some con-
ception of the methods which will
best develop the physical, intellectual
and spiritual nature Of the child.
A very prominent club woman Of
Chicago, in speaking of her daugh-
ter Harriet, 3k years of age, who
was 100 per cent entry in the Baby
Week, said:
"Harriet's present physical condi-
tion was not reached by accident, as
she was a puny baby, but is due to
the fact that she has been reared
along scientific lines. I thoroughly
believe in bringing up children by
system and feel it necessary for
every mother to take up scientific
study of the individual characters and
needs of her children"
It is to educate the parents and
stimulate just such effort on the part
of parents that the National Congress
of Mothers, through it's department
of Child Welfare Circles, is estab-
fishing the work through California
and assisting mothers to take up a
definite course of child study.
It is for woman to make one great
occupation of woman's profession,
and to see that the highest education
trains those who shall contribute to-
ward the development Of a better
generation.

says lnslde-bathIng makes any.
one look and feel clean,
OWoet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing ill
ness, while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or such into the blood
stream, through the lumph ducts
which should suck only nourishment
to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is harmless way to wash these
poisons, gases and toxins from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels;
thus cleansing, sweetening and fresh
ening the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the stom-
ach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the
drug store, but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on inside-bath-
ing. Men and women who are ac-
customed to wake up with dull,
aching head or have furred tongue,
bad taste, nasty breath, sallow COM
plexion, others who have bilious at
tacks,. acid stomach or constipation
are assured Of pronounced improve
ment in both health and appearance

Well, Charles feet, with roller
