Through its various bureaus it comes in contact with practically every American household. All of its activities are intimately related with vital questions affecting the welfare of millions of individuals. In point of fact, when the department of the interior was first created by an act of congress March 3, 1849, it was called the "home department." It might well be known by that title today. The principle operations of the department are conducted by nine bureaus: The general land office, the In- the passion for possession—it has offered freely the choiceest lands on earth. To make these homes accessible, enormous grants of land have encouraged and stimulated the construction of thousands of miles of railways and wagon roads penetrating the virgin wilderness of the west. Additional grants to states and colleges have been capitalized for the maternal benefit of both.

All of its activities are intimately related with vital questions affecting the welfare of millions of individuals. In point of fact, when the department of the interior was first created by an act of congress March 3, 1849, it was called the "home department." It might well be known by that title today. The principle operations of the department are conducted by nine bureaus: The general land office, the Indian bureau, the pension bureau, the patent office, the bureau of education, the geological survey, the reclamation service, the bureau of mines and the national park service. In addition to these, the department of the interior has under its jurisdiction the government of the territories of Alaska and Hawaii. Its activities do not end here. It is the only federal department that conducts private hospitals—St. Elizabeth Hospital, which had on June 30 last 3,900 patients, and the Freedmens' hospital (devoted to negroes) which on June 30 last had 3733 patients. Both hospitals are located in Washington. The department also has charge of Howard university, the most famous institution of higher education for negroes in the United States and the only institution in the United States which maintains a class—medical school for negroes. It conducts the Columbia institute for the deaf and also a school for the blind. In the conduct of the work of the department 17,400 people are employed, of which 5700 are located in Washington. In a recent statement outlining the activities in this department, Secretary Fall said: "To millions of citizens who have sought to gratify the desire for a home virgin wilderness of the west. Additional grants to states and colleges have been capitalized for the maternal benefit of both. "Surveys and classification of vast areas of land and the hydrographic studies of many watersheds have made available the important data necessary for an intelligent selection of homesteads and the development of great irrigation enterprises and water powers by individuals and corporations. "The reclamation service, sponsored by the great Republican leader, Roosevelt, utilizing these data, was enabled speedily to engage in the conquest of the desert of 15 states. "The geological investigations conducted by its experts in all parts of the land have stimulated the development of underground stores of great mineral wealth. "The involved and perplexing problems of caring for the Indians, their education and the administration of their valuable properties; the supervision and direction of our national parks; 'the playgrounds of the people'; the encouragement of the inventive benius of the citizen by issuance of protective patents; the disbursement of millions annually to army and navy veterans and their dependents; the promotion of education throughout the nation and to the natives of Alaska; the safeguarding of the lives of the miner and the broad duty of our mining and metallurgical industries; these are some of the large features of the work of the interior department. Each of these is closely associated with life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of the people, and all contribute substantially to the prosperity and strength of the republic."

HOMELESS CHILDREN Five hundred homeless and abandoned children from various parts of California were received, or under supervision, by the Children's Home society, of Los Angeles and Oakland, during the past six months, according to a semi-annual report just made to the directors of the organization by Mrs. Jessie Jordan, superintendent. Los Angeles county headed the list with 74 children contributed to the society. Alameda county was second with 20 children. San Diego county was third with 13 children. By far the largest proportion of little ones received from 13 counties of California by the society ere illegitimate children, 62 in number. This proportion is said to be larger than it has been for several years. Nineteen children were abandoned by their parents and a similar number came as the result of the parents separation. "The growing social problem in California is becoming a serious problem," said Mrs. Jordan. "A cross section of the membership in our two homes indicates a grave condition in our home and social life. In this condition, the unfortunate children seem to be the innocent victims." It is shown in the report that the ages of the children received during the past six months ranged from under one year to late adolescence. Of these, 79 were less than one year old, 29 were from one to six years and 30 were above six years. The sex of the children was 81 males and 57 females. In the same period 124 adoptions took place and 123 placements in the homes of foster parents were made. Elighty-eight of the new children were Americans. Endorsements of the work of the society in Los Angeles and Oakland continue to be made by leading civic, business and women's clubs of the state, it is stated. Within the recent past year endorsements have been made by the Lion's club of Oakland.

Most of the common diseases and insect pests can be controlled with one spraying just when the buds are spelling in the spring. Such diseases include the shot-hole fungus of the apricot, leaf-curl of the peach and the insect called the peach twig-borer, which also attacks apricots. "For peaches, spray either with Bordeaux mixture, 5-5-50 formula, plus two pounds of powdered basic lead arsenate to fifty gallons of the mixture, or liquid lime sulphur, 9-1 formula. For the apricots, spray with Bordeaux mixture 5-5-50, plus two pounds of powdered basic lead arsenate to each 50 gallons of the mixture. Recent investigations have shown that lime sulphur is detrimental to apricot trees, producing a trouble designated as 'sulphur sickness' and so it should not be used. "Another disease which appears to be serious is peach and apricot scab. It forms numerous small, circular sooty spots, sometimes confined to one portion of the fruit, and at other times scattered over the whole surface. Fruit affected with this disease is so unsightly that it is practically worthless. The standard spring spray will not control this disease. It can be controlled by spraying with self-bolled lime sulphur. For early varieties, spray one month after the petals drop; for mid-season varieties, spray one month after the petals drop, and a second time three weeks later; and for late varieties, spray the same children was 81 males and 57 females. In the same period 124 adoptions took place and 123 placements in the homes of foster parents were made. Elighty-eight of the new children were Americans. Endorsements of the work of the society in Los Angeles and Oakland continue to be made by leading civic business and women's clubs of the state, it is stated. Within the recent past year endorsements have been made by the Lion's club of Oakland, the Oakland merchant's endorsement committee and the Berkeley commission of public charities." TO AILING WOMEN A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many a Sufferer in Anaheim No woman should consider herself healthy and well if the kidneys are weak. Poisons that pass off in the secretions when the kidneys are well, are retained in the body when the kidneys are disordered. If the kidneys and bladder become inflamed and swollen worse troubles may quickly follow. This is often the cause of bearing-down pains, lameness, backache, etc. Uric poisoning is also frequent cause of headaches, dizzy spells, lanquor, nervousness and rheumatic pain. When suffering so try Doan's Kidney Pills, a remedy that has proven effective in thousands of such cases. Let an Anaheim woman tell of her experience. Mrs. A. Steafather, 415 E. Chartres St., says: "I am glad to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, for I have used them with good results. My kidneys caused me to suffer with backache and I felt dull and tired out. My kidneys were irregular in action. But I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they stopped the backaches and regulated my kidneys." 150 feek of dam per day, while a force of men is building approximately the same amount by hand. The building program of the association for the current year calls for the construction of about 15,000 lineal feet of contour dam. Practically all of the water which reaches the spreading grounds of this association is being diverted and sunk for conservation purposes. At the present time the diversions amount to approximately 5500 inches daily flow. It may be difficult for a rich man to enter heaven, but that doesn't mean that poor men will pass without examination. NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT Anaheim Union Water Company, location of principal place of business, 503 E. Center Street, Anaheim, California. Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the Board of Directors, held on the 19th day of February, 1923, assessment No. 61 of $3 per share was levied on the capital stock of the corporation payable at once to the Secretary of the Company, at Anaheim, Orange County, California. Any Addidio colleges the maternal portion of the fruit, and at other times scattered over the whole surface. Fruit affected with this disease is so unsightly that it is practically worthless. The standard spring spray will not control this disease. It can be controlled by spraying with self-boiled lime sulphur. For early varieties, spray one month after the petals drop; for mid-season varieties, spray one month after the petals drop, and a second time three weeks later; and for the late varieties, spray the same as for mid-season varieties, with the addition of a third application a month later. "The codlin moth is the worst insect pest of the apple and pear. It can be controlled by spraying first just as the petals are dropping, using two and one-half pounds powdered or five pounds paste arsenate of lead to 100 gallons of water. A second spray should be given three weeks later, at the same strength, and a third spray two weeks later, using a weaker strength, two pounds of powdered or four pounds of paste arsenate of lead to 100 gallons of water being recommended. In the Antelope valley the acid arsenate of lead can be used on account of the dry atmosphere. "For apricot brown-rot, spray with an 8-8-50 formula of Bordeaux mixture when the greatest number of buds are showing the pink while cracking open, usually when about one-third of the blossoms have completely opened. Where the disease has been bad, apply another spray after more blossoms have opened. Too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the necessity for the use of the spring spray. Quality of product is being recognized as a necessity and growers must try for quality. Spraying will do much toward obtaining it." Mrs. A. Steafather, 415 E. Chartres St., says: "I am glad to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, for I have used them with good results. My kidneys caused me to suffer with backache and I felt dull and tired out. My kidneys were irregular in action, but I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they stopped the backaches and regulated my kidneys. I felt better in every way and advise anyone having kidney trouble to give Doan's a trial." 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
