the heroes of Dumas’ great novel—
eVer ready for a fight or a frolic,
defenders of unprotected womenhood,

it's too late now. Of her own free

. No more bathing suit comedies,
Henceforth her talents will *be dl- '

'Judging from reports from drug

for Its remarkable record Of suc

An examining physician for onej
ief the prominent Life Insurance
Companies, In an Interview of the
Subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why so many
applicants for Insurance are rejected;
la because kidniy trouble Is so com-j

IF RHEUMATIC
EAT NO SWEETS
Says glass of Salts helps to
overcome Rheumatism
acid.
Rheumatism is easier to avoid
:han to cure, states a well-known
luthorlty. We are advised to dress
warmly, keep the feet dry, avoid ex
posure. and above all, drink plenty
jf good waiter and avoid eating
rweeta of all klnd3.
Rheumatism is caused by body
waste and acids resulting from food
fermentation. It is the function ol
the kidneys to Alter this poison freon
the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are alsc
i means of freeing the blood of thfi
Impurity. In damp and chilly cole
weather the skin pores are closed,
thus forcing the. kidneys to dc
iouble work; they become weak and
dlugglsh and fall to eliminate thli
waste and acids, which keeps ac
cumulating and circulating througt
the system, eventually settling ir
the Joints and muscles, causing stiff
ness, soreness and pain, called
rheumatism.
At the Arst twinges of rheumatisn
get from any pharmacy about foui
ounces of Jad Salts; put a table
spoonful In a glass of water and
drink before breakfast each morn
ing for a week. This is helpful t<
neutralize acidity, remove wasti
matter, also to stimulate the kid
ncys, -thus often ridding the blood
of rheumatic poison.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and ii
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithla

has recalled the latter's prophecy that "if Mr. Stillman ever is free to marry again, you will find
him paying court to a woman pqs>essinK the qualities of the wife he sought to destroy.” Mrs. Tal

MAKING SURVEY
HUGE COLUMBIA
BASIN PROJECT
Government Engineers Will
Have Report Ready bv Fall
of $230,000,000 Job.
SPOKANE, June 15.—Final gov
ernment report on the practicability
of the $230,000,000 Columbia Basin
irrigation project, under which it is t
proposed to reclaim approximately i
2,000,000 acres of arid lands in South
eastern Washington, is expected to!
be ready for submission to Congress j
when the next session convenes in j
December. Beginning of actual work:
on the project awaits an appropria
tion by Congress. Its supporters con
template waging an active fight for:
action as soon as the report of the |
Interior Department engineers has
been submitted.
Engineers of the Department of
the Interior are engaged during the
present summer in a survey of t’no
project, authorized under an approp
riation of $100,000 granted by the |
last Congress. It is expected that
the field work, including investiga
tions of geological formations and
ouii aiiaij ocn, niu uc uuinu
fall, and that the report be drafted
by December 1, according to state
ments of officials of the Department!
of the Interior.
Is Third Survey
The present investigation Is the!
third survey of the project since j
the inception four and one-half years
ago. After E. F. Blaine of Seattle
had laid before the late Governor j
Ernest F. Lister a proposal for rti-l
version of waters of Pend Orville1
lake. In northern Idaho, for irrigat-j
Ing a large tract in the Columbia ]
Klver Basin, the Washington Legis-|
lature In 1919 appropriated $100,-j
000 for a preliminary survey by State
engineers. The Columbia Basin Bur-i
vey commission was organized and;
started the Investigation, and two!
years later the legislature approp-,
riated an additional $50,000 for con- j
tinuatlon of its work.
After the commission had made a
favorable report, the State in Febru
ary, 1922, employed Major General
George W. Ooetllals to make a fur-'
ther investigation and report on the
feasibility of the project from an
engineering and economic standpoint.
He also made a favorable report.
Operating independently of the
stake and the Federal government
for completion of the project, but
working in co-operation with both,
the Columbia Basin Irrigation League
was organized at Pasco, Wash., * in
April, 1922. The (Mment program of
tho league, which, is controlled by a
board of director# comprising repre
sentatives of the four Pacific North
western States, contemplates raising j
a fund of $200,000 for conducting a1
campaign of education to obtain fed |
eral backing for completion of the j
project. Of this fund, approximately I
$127,000 has been subscribed and j
about $50,000 has been pai-1 in.
Large Area Included
Of the 2,000,000 acres or land in
eluded in the project. 1,733,000 is
classified as first class land capa
ble /of being placed under gravity
irrigation. About 250,000 acres are
suseeptible of being watered by very
slight pumping, or are partly avail j
able to gravity irrigation, engineers
reports show. The land is situated
in Franklin, Adams. Grant uml Walla
Walla counties in Washington, about
seventy-five miles from Spokane, 120
miles from Seattle and 160 miles
from Portland.
Cost of the completed project, in-j
eluding several lateral canals, has.
been estimated at $230,000,000, which ]
would make the average cost per
acre $117 to $171. This estimate was
based on costs of materials and la-,
bor during the high .prices of 1921,
and engineers since have stated that,
the acre cost probably would noti
average more than $125. The an-|
nual maintainenee cost has been fi-!
gured at forty-eight cents an acre. ]
»evf*ii years wouiu ue^requireu iui ;
completion of the project.
Construction work will extend for |
135 miles from Newport. Idaho, the!
point of diversion of the water, to I
Pasco, Washington, the distance in j
a canal ninety feet wide and sixty!
foet deep, capable of an average
flowage rate of twelve miles per
hour.
In the course of transmission from
Lake Pend d'Orellle, the water would
be carried past a large diversion
dam at Albany Falls on the Pend d'
Orellle Ktver. through six smaller
lakes, each with an impounding dam
and seven tunnels* One of these
latter would penetrate a resistance
soction of Spokane. •
MAY IMPROVE YUKON RIVER,
AND PROLONG NAVIGATION
The Federal government Is consid
ering a scheme to Improve transpor

prolonging the open season on the
Upper Yukon several weeks. Engin
eers now visiting Whitehorse are
examining the lakes and streams In
light of a proposal that the water
he Impounded In the narrow necks
of the Yukon above Whitehorse and
released later In the season, which
would flood the shoals and wash
out the sand bars. It Is underjtood
