FOLKS are often surprised to find themselves in secret sympathy with the prep-school daughter of the house with all her enthusi asms and exaggerations. She "adores crispy things and crackly things;" and she simply "loathes mushes and porridge." Bless her heart, she's one of the most devoted friends of Kellogg' s Toasted Corn Flakes. And she knows how to eat them with good top-milk poured in at the side of the dish, not to soak the' flakes, but to accompany them and little if any sugar. Then too there is the WAXT1TE package that keeps the fresh, good flavor in and all other flavors out. f ' v as Bigg OtXG WATER IS PLENTIFUL Bull Run Supply Unusually Low, Without Shortage. PRESSURE CARES VANISH Xew Trunk Main Into Vernon Stand pipe Completely Eliminates All Troubles In That District Even During Hottest Spells. Although Bull Run River is reported unusually low this Summer, Portland has had less trouble than ever before in quenching its thirst. There has been absolutely no report of low pressure or water shortage in any part of the city, even during the hot test days. Recent completion of a big new 80 inch trunk main from the Mount Tabor reservoirs to the Vernon standpipe completely has eliminated the low pressure troubles in that end of the city, thus proving conclusively that the installation of reinforcing mains is the proper method to eliminate low-pressure troubles. Enlarged feed mains in the outer Peninsula districts will provide against future trouble. During August- the average daily consumption of water is reported by Water Engineer Clarke to have been about 41.000.000 gallons. That is the amount of water actually put into the reservoirs. All Summer the usual spillways at the reservoirs have been in operation, dumping an average of about 5.000.000 gallons a day into the sewers. Bull Run River has been extremely low this Summer, owing to the fact that the snowfall in the Bull Run water shed was slfght last Winter. However, tba river at its lowest etage has run a little better than 72 second-feet, which Is about 48.000.000 gallons in 24 hours. The full flow of the river has not been used so far, there being considerable overflow at the Intake. Rains In the reserve Monday and yesterday are ex pected to increase the flow.
