No more squeezing and pinchipg to
get rid of those unsightly blefnishes,

about two ounces of calonite powder
from your druggist-sprinkle a little
on hot. wet cloth--rub briskly over
the blackheads for a few seconds
will be gone.
Pinching and squeezing out black
heads make large pores and you can
not get all of the blackheads out this

every particle of them and leaves the

Or. Traproek on Snakes

DIR. Walter e. Traprock, the noted
| traveller, was speaking of snakes of
which he has probably seen as many
as any living man.
"The revulsion felt by most people

Doctor, lis wrong, all wrong. They
4! are mainly harmless and useful. One
| of the gentlest companions ] ever had
! was Naa -Naa, the pet Coka or hot
back from the Filbert Islands.
1.-THE Ooka derives its name from
its curious ability to retain heat for
an indefinite period. 1t lives on the
juice of the hoopa, the only fur-bear-
| ing cocoanut I know of. The Ooka
absorbs it's meal during the tropic
noon hour. which at that time is at
its highest temperature OF about ITO
degrees. This meal the snake retains
until the following day, when the
process is repeated. 1t Is very pleas
ant, during the cool nights, to have
enc of these gentle creatures wrapped
about ones body.
"A less attractive but equally use
full serpent is the great Desert Ply
thon which plows it's way through
the sands of the Sahara. This crea-
ture is the terror OF all the small
animals of the desert. The natives,
however. prize them highly. using the
smaller ones as tires for their print

BRUNEAU
From The Nugget

= X X X X X Y X X X X y X X X X :
At Mondays meeting of the Bru-
neau Valley Water-Users held in the
Idle Time to discuss the plan sub
mitted by B. w. Oppenheim, attorney
for the interests represented, and
largely the work of George Craig of
this place, a large audience was pres
emit.
The plan in brief, provides a prior
ity for the Bruneau of both agricul-
tural and pasture land irrigation
water in Bruneau river over Grand
view Irrigation district. 1t likewise
makes pasture land irrigation here
subordinate to agricultural land;
that is, pasture land has only q sec
ondary right to areas growing hay,
grain, etc. 1t is plainly stated and
clearly understood that irrigation of
pasture lands must give way in time
of need to the superior rights of agri-
cultural areas, regardless of stock
holdings of any desiring water for
pasture.
An angle of the discussion had to
do with the South Side Bruneau
Ditch company situation, where a
possible Grand View priority de-
prives. the farmers under that sys-
TEN of large volume of much-need-
ed water. To obyiate any such
calamity, it is suggested as a solution
that water stock, the right to which
is applied to pasture, be purchased
by the various systems, diverting the
same to make good the South Sides
In this manner it isl
hoped to adequately provide for
water users under this system, who
may otherwise suffer serious damage.
While it is not literally correct to
say that the plan has won unanimous
it is so nearly so that
one or two only are Withholding
consent, and it is be-
Iieved that these will, rather than
endure costly litigation, eventually
give way for the general good.

and plan and dream the homes they
actually build later on. We feel sure
that if there was any way of finding
out most of the homes here were
built in dreams when the weather
was not fit for actual construction
work.
Now comes a report from the gov
eminent that with slight decline
in building materials thousands of
people are dreaming out the homes
they expect to start work on in few
months. There are three actual ne
eessities in life-food, clothing, and
shelter. Certain conditions, such as
the money market, prices, supply and
demand, influence the volume of
building, but after all we must re-
gard shelter as a necessity, for which
there is a constant and growing de-
mand.
If there are among us citizens who
have been postponing the building
of a home now seems to be an excel
lent time to start dreaming" one
out Especially is this true since the
break in material prices. AS soon as
spring arrives and work is started on
thousands of residences these prices
are apt to again start up. We need
more homes in Mountain Home.
There is no question about that. So
why wouldn't it be a good idea to
get in touch with carpenters and
building material men now and get a
line on how much it is going to
cost to make your building dreams
come true?.
