THE VALLEYS FUTURE

On March 14th there will be in Imperial Valley
small delegation of congressman who will here
under the guidance of Mr. Swing. Their visit to the
valley will be for the purpose of acquainting them
selves by personal observation with situation here with
reference to the Colorado river and the problem of
control il presents These have heard the story
it has been carried to them through such competent
men as Messrs Nickerson Rose, Ross, Evans and the
many who have gone to Washington for the purpose.
Seeing for themselves the unprecedented development
that has been carried out here and what it to
have it all go without the most complete protection
against possible overflow such suffered some
years ago, will surely give these distinguished men
new understanding of their public duty They will be
enthusiastically welcomed here because all they will
see at the river delta and at the site of the proposed
Boulder Canyon dam will argue for the immediate con-
struction of the dam, both for flood and control and
for power purposes And when that great project is
carried out the future prosperity of the valley will
have been firmly and fully established.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-03-22

Beatrice Portinari, love of Dante's
youth, whom he immortalized in verse
and who represents with him. one of
the famous loves of history. Dante
has set a standard for feminine beau
ty in all subsequent Beatrices when
he says:
One charm remark, peculiarly hers
An elegance, unmatched with modesty
combined;
"And would you see it in living proof, !"
Says Thought to me, attend well to
thy mind,
When, with a lady elegant and fair
Harmoniously conjoined, she moves
Then as the brilliant stars seem chased
away,
By greater brightness of the advancing
So vanish other charms when hers are
viewed"
Unfortunately for the world, the
''habits of virtue and of loyalty" of
which Dante also sings are not to be
found in some of the Beatrices of
early centuries. Beatrice de Cenci,
for instance, had heart as black as
her face was lovely.
The French have adopted Beatrix
and added to it Benoite, deriving the
latter from benus, an adjective taken
from the same beo and meaning good.
From the same source comes the Ital-
ian Benditta, Beta, and Bettina,
which is usually and enormously con-
sidered a diminutiye of Elizabeth.
Spain has contributed Benta and Ger

tine. 1t remained for America to

CCORES of lovely women have an
~ swered to the name of Beatrice. 1t
comes from the old verb beo, meaning
to make happy or bless, but because
the Beatrices of history have invari-
ably been extraordinarily beautiful
does not signify that they have been
happy, nor that their loneliness has
given pleasure to beholders, for some
of them have been the Wickedest wom-
en- Of their time and brought suffer
ing and destruction wherever they
went. So it seems rather curious that
the name should have such an auspi-
cious and indeed ecclesiastical begin
hing.
The church first used the word beo
to apply to her departed members who
were gathered together somewhere on
the Isle of the Blest, and IN time 1t
was bestowed on living members.
There was even a ST. Beatus of Beat,
who was an anchorite near Vendome
In the Fifth century. me original

Discovery by Science Has
Replaced Them.

Pills and salts give temporary relief
from constipation only at the expense
Of permanent injury, says an eminent
authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature it
self.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this
natural lubricant is not sufficient.
Doctors prescribe Nujol because it
acts like this natural lubricant and
thus secures regular bowel movements
by Natures own method-lubrication
AS Nujol is not a medicine or laxa-
tive, it cannot grippe and, like pure
water, it is harmless and pleasant.
Nujol is used in leading hospitals.

THE PASSING OF DR.. GEORGE
L Francis Lydston, eminent Chicago
physician and surgeon, at his home in
California, has robbed the world of an
outstanding figure. He was that adj
mirable figure, radical in thought
who confined himself strictly to the
orthodox practice of his profession. It
was Doctor Lydston who first attracted
attention by the transportation Of
glands to a human body, his expert
ments being on himself first. showing
his sincerity. He asserted, as a result
Of his researches, that gland trans
plantation afforded only temporary re-
lief from the penalties of old age. 1t
was a fayorite assertion Of his that
the relief lasted only six months and
had to be renewed to be effective. Doc
tor Lydston never asserted the glandu-
lar operation was a benefit, except in
cases of dementia praecox among
women or advanced age, on many Of
whom he successfully operated.
Another brilliant achievement of his
was the sterilization Of a criminal in
Michigan, who was given his choice Of
a suspended sentence or the operation.
His fame extended to the four corners
of the globe and was added TO by his
writings, which he varied by ircursions
from strictly medical works to books
Of fiction.

Of course if you are s'church-goer'
you will go to your own parish church
for the morning service. That is an
unwritten rule we all obey. In the
afternoon you will probably go to
some other church where the service
appeals to you. Nowadays in the big
cities one sees almost as large a
crowd at church in the afternoon as
in the morning.

It is impossible to overestimate the

alton been allowed to stand without
anything else to occupy the public
mind it would have removed the Ruhr
controversy to the field Of national
prejudice, given the Germans a splen-
did chance to float more propaganda
based on their inability to control the
peoples Of the occupied area, and
given the French an equal opportunity
to assail the Germans for injecting
active armed force, coupled with MUIR
der, into a situation that is regarded
by the allies as being more Of a police
measure than a military one.
The French have shown a desire to
confne the issue entirely to a COM
mercial plane. They assert plainly that
all they want is their money and that
they regret being forced to use their
army as a force Of bill collectors.
Until the declaration by the two
premiers that they would evacuate the
invaded territory as fast as payment
was made the world felt there was
the possibility that the Ruhr would
finally find itself in the same boat as
Alsace-L Lorraine, a part of France.
A remarkable feature Of the state
ment is that it stands exactly upon
the words and actions of that arch
enemy Of France fifty-two years ago,
Bismarck.
History records that Bismarck, in
occupying France asserted he would
retire with his army as fast as pay
ments on the indemnity we're made.
The French peasantry of those days,
as will be remembered, emptied the
hidden corners Of their cupboards and
inside of three years paid over to the
Teutonic warlords the enormous sum,
for that period of the worlds history,
Of FIVE billions Of francs, roughly ST.
OO0,0OO,O00 besides territory.
France went through the same strain
that Germany now is undergoing. A
vast portion of it's people absolutely
refused to aid in the payment of the
indemnity and for two months the
Commune, the Reds of that time, ragged
throughout Paris, attacking constituted
authority while the German army sat
idly by and watched the situation
clarity itself.
History appears to have repeated
itself, as it has habit of doing, in the
present Franco German dispute. Close
students are watching to see whether
the Commune will arise among the
Teutonic peoples; whether the Ger
man equivalent Of the F'ranc-tireurs
will arise, as was indicated by the MUIR
ders of the two French officials; and
whether the indemnity will be paid
finally.
