Fedora! Endorsement Still Awaits Details.

Essential phases of the Red Lake
drainage project have been ap-'
proved by federal authorities at
Washington and it only remains
to work out detailed plans for
formal approval, according to a
statement by E. V. Willard, state
commissioner of drainage and
water. 1t has been agreed, he
said, that development of agricuE
tural lands is to receive primary
consideration, the regulation OF
river flow for power developments
to be secondary. -:
1t is said that Charles Fl. Burke,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
gave hearty Endorsement to the
plan at a recent conference IN
Washington. Representatives from
Minnesota at the conference were
@. G.. Selvig, president, Red Lake
Drainage and Conservancy district;
Geo. Walker, chief engineer, and
Mr.. Willard. The following drain
age points, Mr.. Willard said, we're
discussed and practically approved:
/. The development of agricul-.
tural lands should receive primary
consideration.
Q. Power. and the impounding
of waters in the Red Lakes for
improved waterpower below should
be secondary. The plain purposes
storing flood waters in the Red
Lakes and discharging them DUR
ing such times as the capacity of
the river can receive them, at a
rate that will insure a continuous
minimum flow of approximately
600 cubic feet a second to the
waterpowers below. r.:
3. The average maximum eleva'
ton of the Red Lakes as proposed
is liza, compared with 1863
under natural and present condi-
tons. This will lower the lake
under average conditions two feet.
4. Tie Red Lake river will be
deepened, widenea ard straie hten-s
ed for 40 miles from Red Lake,
involving excavation of 1900, 900
cubic yards. The dam and struct-
ures which are to control the
overflow will be some distances
below the outlet to q sheltered:
harbor may be created where,
logging RATS and small crafts may
seek shelter, also to afford place
for loading. 7'e. !
The report and data requested
by the federal department. will be
submitted within the next ten
days. Because of the large amount
of Indian territory included in the
project it is necessary to obtain
the cooperation of the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs. i
The engineering Investigations
practically have been completed,
and the work of making designs
for the structures is now under
way. 4he undertaking of this
work, it is said, will add materially
to the development of the Red
Lakes country, and will open vast
areas of agricultural land, in ad-
dition to Harvesting the immense
waterpower, which can be utilized
to advantage for many towns and
villages. tx - -. s., :. =. i,

WANTS RENTS CONVERTED TO
 SINKING FUND

The only important business which came before the Common Council last night at it's meeting was in regard to the rental of Pleasure Beach, in teresting proposition being submitted by the Park Board. In the absence of Mayor Wilson. President Beers and City Clerk Robinson, Alderman Price presided.
 The proposition of the Park Board was that the rents paid annually by the Ingersoll Engineering company, lessees of Pleasure Beach, be turned the Tease expires ten years hence the city will have money to pay for whatever improvements are made in the meantime. If the city decided not to purchase the improved prop erty the funds could then be used for the retirement of i outstanding bonds, more particularly those of the Park Department. The letter from the Park Commissioners pointed out that the lease reads that the city has the right to buy improvements when the ten year term is up, such improve ments to be valued by an impartial board. The letter was prompted by the fact that this years rental has been transferred by the Board of Alp portionment to other departments al ready. It is drawn to the attention of the council that if thts practice be continued there will probably not be the necessary funds available for the
  Alderman Lyons raised a vigorous protest against the proposition to ac- cept the report of the committee on streets and sidewalks recommending 1 a project to make Broad street a un- | form width from Cannon to Golden ! Hill streets, entailing the pushing | back of the curb from 2 and 1-2 to | feet in various places. The report, i however, was accepted.
 The council ratified the appointment of Edmund S. Wolf as director of the Public Library, to take the place of Charles H. Armstrong.
 | Hereafter Map1ewood avenue, be- tween Linwood and Laurel avenues, will be closed to traffic at times when children are going and coming from school and during a play period in the afternoon.
 Alderman Lyons introduced a reso- iution, which was unanimously pass ed by the board, calling upon Will liam Redden and Joshua Meltzer tt submit a report of their work in re- vising the city charter and ordtn- ances, an undertaking which they were appointed to do eight years ago. It is understood that the task is practically finished.

 REINSTATED

Patrolmap Albert Smith of the Fourth preciact, who with Joseph Ratzenb erger, fellow policeman, was suspended from duty Saturday as the result of charges preferred against him, was reinstated today. This ac- ton follows the completion of an in vestigation of Smiths case by the Disciplinary Committee of the Police Board, last night. The accusation was found to be without foundation
 Ratzenberger, who is said to have been drinking whie1 in uniform, was also arraigned before the committee last night, and his case has not yet been disposed of. He will appear again before the commissioners, and may stand trial if enough evidence is secured to warrant such a procedure.
 The claim that Smith and Ratzen- Berger were involved in the disap- pearance of some canvas from a weld ing machine owned by the Connecti- cut Company, was proved untrue
 Many witnesses were examined dur ing last nights session, and the com missioners adjourned without fixing a date for the next meeting.

DO YOU CATCH
 COLD EASILY /? HOW TO AVOID IT

Colds are due to germs. No one can prevent the germs from getting into your nose and throat. But you can help keep plenty of strong, vigorous, "antf- bodies" in your blood to fight and kill off the nasty ''cold germs" before they do you any harm.
 To develop these germ destroying "antF- bodies" properly, you must have plenty of pure rich, red blood and a strong. vigorous constitu- tion-n fact, this is the best preventative against almost any disease.
 If you are weak, nervous or run down. or sub ject to colds, take no chances. One day you may develop serious throat, bronchial or lung trouble or perhaps pneumonia and you may go of like a shot. Therefore commence to enrich your blood and fortify yourself against "disease germs to- day. To build more and better blood and make stronger nerves, there Is nothing superior to NUXATED IRON as it contains organic iron like the iron in your blood combined with pro duct representing the principal chemical constE tuent ofactive living nerve force for feeding the nerves. Nuxated Iron may therefore be said to be both a blood and a nerve food It often in- creases the bodily and mental vigor strength and endurance in two weeks time.
 Over 100000 people are using 1t annually. It has been highly endorsed by former United States Senators, U. S. Army Generals, many physicians and prominent men. Even the Pope at Rome mentioned it favorably in a communication to the Proprietor of the Pharmacy Normale ofParis.
 Satisfaction guaranteed or the manufacturers will refund your money. Beware of substitutes. Look for the word "NUXATEDr on every pack age and the letters N. l. on every tablet. Sold hr all drug

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. 14.--George T.
Lippincott, one Of the largest realty
owners of this city, died from sleeping
sickness this evening at the home of
his brother-in-law, former City Com
missioner William Fl. Bartlett. Mr..
Lippincott had been conscious only for
brief intervals since he was brought
here about the middle of January.
He fell i'll while cruising in his yacht
along the Florida coast. 1t was thought
that he was suffering from uramic
poisoning and he was brought here for
treatment. DR.. Gurney Williams, his
physician, called several specialists in
consultation, and Or. EIwood Kirby, Of
Philadelphia, made the positive dag
nosis of sleeping sickness on Febru-
cry Z.
Mr.. Lippincott was fifty-seven years
old and a widower. He had lived here
for forty-five years and participated in
some of the pioneer development prof.
ects at the resort. His holdings along
the Boardwalk at the time of his death
are said TO be worth several millions.
He is survived by brother, Henry G.

but doesn't know how it happened. G.
r. Johnson, blind chiropractor, who
lives in Peekskill, admits that Fausel
was at the point Of death when he was
called to attend him and began to mend
soon afterward.
Dr.. Harry Roth, of 240 st. Nicholas
Avenue, Fausel's physician, who dag
nosed his case as sleeping sickness, re-
and gave him medical treatment, main
.tains modest silence. DR.. Josephine
B. Neal who examined him as the rep
resentative of the Health Department
says he just naturally got we'll be-
cause he was through being sick.
"The length of time that the sick
ness continues varies," said DR.. Neal,
''and the treatment is systematic and
hygienic at present as the disease is
not understood. | believe Fausel recov-
cred, as many other cases recovered,
because the disease had run its course.
The serum test showed it to be sleep
ing sickness"
n.'welve cases of sleeping sickness
were reported oince Friday. Four OF
them are in Manhattan, the ages of
the patients ranging from eight years

ported in the Bronx and six in Brook

been reported, eighty of them in Man
