Mrs. Lena Smith, N. Cherry street,

"I have had poor health for the past
lour years, pains in the back and
groins, and dull, sick headache, with
bearing down pains.
"A friend who was very enthusiastic
about Keruna insisted that I try it.
"I took it for ten days and was sur
prised to find that I had so little pain.
"I therefore continued to use it and
at the end of two months my pains had
totally disappeared.
"I have been in the best of health since
and feel ten years younger. I am very

age and diversion dams- and in build
in canals, laterals and headgates is
the largest undertaking of the kind in
the history of the United States.
The reclamation" act provides that
funds from the sale of certain public
lands shall be applied by the govern
ment to the building of irrigation
works. At the present time the fund
amounts to about $28,000,000 and is in
creasing at the rate of $4,000,000 an
nually. This fund is self-continuing.
After the irrigation works have been
000 acres, almost half is in barley, 10,
000 acres is in alfalfa. On the Ameri
cun side of the Imperial valley there
are some 50,000 head of cattle a large
part of which is dairy stock, and there
are 10,000 head more on the Mexican
side.
The Yuma project contemplates the
irrigation of land on both side of the
Colorado river in California and Art
zona. The government has planned
for the ultimate extension of the canals
of the Yuma project twenty miles or
more from the Lagnna dam ten miles
above Yuma to the Imperial valley,
When this is done the most arid por
tion of America not excepting Death
Valley will be all under Irrigation and
highly productive. ,
Although the government contem
plates irrigation works for the benefit
of homeseekers and endeavors so far
as possible to undertake works with
the Ylew of bringing water to avail
able government lands, yet in the event
that individuals are willing to sub
divide their Jnnds and to sign a con
tract which will prevent land specula
tlon and anticipating Increased values
through irrigation, irrigation works
Will be undertaken under the reclama
tlon act where the land is in prlyat
ownership. J
This is the case in 'the Salt , river
valley, Arizona, where a dam capa'bli
of impounding enough water to Irri

A Peril Nearer Home.
To Mr. HIppendyke, who had fol
lowed with absorbing interest the
progress of the war between Japan
and Russia, there was something sin
ister and terrible in the uniform suc
cess of the Japanese.
"I tell you, Flanders," he was say
ing to his neighbor on the other side
of the backyard fence, "those fellows
s re going to make trouble for us all.
The Japs have found out how strong
they are, and they're teaching the Chi
nese. Some day there'll be a Chinese
army of fifty million men, with Jap
anese officers. .They'll take our posses
sions in Asia and they'll overrun the
whole civilized world. That's the yel
low peril we've got to face some time
or other. . You mark' my words."
Just then Mrs. Hippendyke came to
the kitchen door. j
"Henry," she called out, in a high-
keyed voice, "If you want to put a
stop to the only yellow peril that's
threatening you or me, you get after
that yellow dog of Wilkinson's that's
out In our front yard, digging up all
my plants."
