Rocky Mountain Interstate Medical As
ISOLATION Meets at Salt Lake.

ISOLATION Meets at Salt Lake.
The first annual meeting of the
Rocky Mountain Interstate Medical as
ISOLATION will be held in Salt Lake on
the 25th and 26th of this month. 1t
is expected that about 100 doctors will
be in attendance, representing Mon
tana, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Arizona
and Wyoming.
At meeting of doctors in Denver
last year the idea of organizing an
intermountain association was suggest
ed and then and there the prelimin-
airy steps We're taken, and it is eX-
pected that inside of year every rep
utable physician in the intermountain
states will have subscribed his name
to the membership roster.
DR.. Charles p. Hough, formerly of
Butte, now of Salt Lake. is president
of the Utah state committee; DR.. S.
c. Baldwin secretary and Dr. c. G.
Pulmmer chairman.
At the coming meeting an attend
ance of so to so from other states is
expected, the Colorado delegation num-
bering about so. Thirty papers on
medical subjects will be read. The en-
tertainment will consist of a dip in
the lake and luncheon at Saltair Tues
day evening, the 25th, and the annual
banquet at the Knutsford Wednesday
evening. The visiting ladies will be
received by a committee composed of
the wives of the Salt Lake members.
The physicians of the intermountain
states are taking great interest in the
coming meeting, inasmuch as it will
lay the foundation for a medical as
ISOLATION long needed. The doctors of
Salt Lake city are always courteous
and attentive to visiting members of
their profession, and a large attend
ance of the members is expected.

The following from the Salt Lake
Herald will be of interest to the many
friends of Carl Hard, a former Mon,
tana boy. He is the son of Charles
Hard, the pioneer resident of Helena
and is now engaged on the editoria
staff of the Salt Lake Tribune:
Carl B. Hard received dispatch
from Washington officially Informing
him of his appointment to a second
lieutenantcy and requesting notice Of
his acceptance be wired to Assistant
Adjutant General Carter The dis
patch stated that the appointment was
to the 35th infantry, but doubtless an
error was made in transmission. Mr..
Hard believes and so does Governor
Wells, that the appointment is for the
Saith infantry, recruiting in the noun
tain states.

No More Night Cans,

Expert testimony in the Larkin case
has developed the scientific fact that
the direct cause of insanity, in the ma
jority of cases, is the use of alcoholic
liquors. This has caused a great many
people to stop and think. AS a result
many men who previously thought the
eye opener and the night cap were in
dispensable are now drinking nothing
but Centennial beer, and it is fiattering
to that celebrated article that those
who before tabooed beer now pronounce
Centennial the finest and most satisfy
ing beverage they ever drank. 1t is not
alcoholic, but is tissue building slim

LAUNDERING.

Mrs. Cramer, a wealthy young wild
ow, lived in style Of simple elegance
in desirable quarter Of the city. Her
personal attendant, Susie Moore, was
young, pretty, and coquettish, with
half score Of lovers at her heels, 50
that 1t is not to be wondered at that
she was at times absentminded and
giddy.
Mrs. Cramer had gone out calling,
and Susie was doing two things at
once. She was reading for the TWEEN
tieth time a declaration of love she
had received that morning and busting
marble-top table that stood in the
center Of the room. An ominious
crash which followed an unlucky whisk
of the duster caused her to drop both
the broom and the letter and exclaim:
My goodness" On the carpet lay
the fragments OF costly porcelain cup
valued gift Of the dear departed!
Instant dismissal was the least she
could expect in case Of detection. and
how could detection be avoided? No
one else had access to the apartment,
and there wasn't cat on the premises.
But Susie was girl OF resources. A
bright idea struck her and she ran to
the back yard, snatched up stone
TWICE as large as hens egg. and
dashed 1t through one of the panes
OF rear window. Then returning to
the parlor she picked up the stone and
laid 1t among the pieces of the broken
cup.
But will that look right?" she ejac-
ulated. People don't throw stones
through windows for nothing, and this
being a back window, why-I have it,"
Her love letter lay at her feet. 1t
had neither address nor signature,
though well she knew whence It came.
Catching up the missive and the mis-
sile she hastily wrapped the one
around the other securing the parcel
with thread and placed it amid the
ruins.
Having finished her work, Susie
closed the apartment and took good
care not to be there when her mistress
returned.
II Mrs. Cramer was vexed when she
saw her broken cup and window, she
was indignant when she came to In
vestigate the cause.
Who can have dared to take such a
iiberty?" she exclaimed, crumpling the
paper In her hand, but she had scarcely
asked the question when a dark sus-
picion took possession of her.

THE NEXT CENSUS.

Congress will probably pass bill Mt
this session to provide for taking the
next census. The primary purpose of
the government In thus counting the
people, which the constitution requires
to be done once In ten years, is to
ascertain how many representatives In
congress shall be apportioned to each
state. Until first census could be
taken the constitution itself specified
the number OF representatives allowed
to each of the thirteen states. Vlr-
glnia was assigned ten members. Mas
sachusetts and Pennsylvania were al
lowed eight each, New York and Mary
land six each. and the other states
were granted representation In the
same arbitrary manner. The total
membership OF the FIRST house OF rep
resentatiyes was sixty-nye.
The apportionment based on the first
census, that OF 1880, allowed one rep
resentatiye for every $4,000 people, as
near as the divisions could be made.
on that basis the membership OF the
house became 1906. BY the next CEN
