The extraordinary carelessness OF
parents in leaving dangerous drugs
within reach of children is in marked
contrast with governmental supervi-
sion over druggists and physicians. A
few weeks ago a man bought some
chloroform with which to kill a dog,
and while waiting to use it, wrapped
the bottle in cloth and tucked IL into
d workbasket. Two little children
found it, presumably fancied it a. sick
doll, and took it to bed with them. In
the morning the child clasping the un-
corked bottle was found dead: the
other unconscious, past recovery. So
bitter an experience emphasizes the
oft-repeated and oft-forgotten warning
that the first essential for the family
medicine-chest is a lock and key.

The larynx of a man in Sydney, Aus
tralia, became useless through disease,
and he lost his voice. Professor
Stuart, of the University of Sydney is
said to have made an artificial one,
and it can be so regulated as to make
the voice soprano, tenor, contralto or
bass at will.

Among many entertaining tricks dis
played by a we'll known dog in Evans
ton, ILL.,, was the ability to smoke ciga-
rettes. His master had taught him
this habit, and master and Chute, as
the dog was called, were often seen pa
rading the streets, each smoking CT
garette. Lately the dog became mad,
and bit every other dog it met.

Bishop Walsham How, the hymn
writer, once induced a workingman to
attend church. Asked afterward how
he liked it the parishioner replied:
I learned one thing. l learned that
Sodom and Gomorrah were places. l
always thought they were husband
and wife" Lawyers affirm that the
cases which beget the most hatred
and viturperation and are most diff
cult to settle are those between near
kindred. Moreover, the differences
ure largely of the trihing and imagi-
nary kind which better information
would have prevented. The plan OF
searching the Scriptures has lost none
of its potency. Not infrequently, the
ages through, has it settled more per-
sonal enigmas than the identity of
Sodom and Gomorrah.

Jewish charities. the Baron de
Hirsch Fund, for instance, are notably
well managed, better managed than
those of any other denomination" as
certs the American Israelite, which
goes on to explain the reason. II Is
because the very best men and womer
of the Jewish faith are willing to give
their time to the work. without recon-
pense. We would not disparage the

the people who pay them; but it is un-
questionably true that the ideal phil

IMMENSE COAL
COMBINE PLANNED

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-THE purchase
by J. P. Morgan and company of the
Pennsylvania Coal company in the in
terest of the Erie railway is looked
upon in anthracite circles in this, city
as but incidental and preliminary to a
still greater and closer alliance between
the anthracite interests. 1t is said that
the next move of the Morgan interests
will be to purchase the anthracite in
terests of Coke Brothers and company,
in the HazletOn field. The tonnage of
this firm, together with that of the
Delaware, SuSqUehanna & SchuyiklIl
railroad. owned and controlled by it, is
almost as large as that of the Penn
sylvania Coal company. Having Sc
cured these two interests the most
dangerous independent competitors IN
the anthracite coal trade would be re-
moved.
An authority on coal matters says:
with the Morgan interest pract-
calIy in control, there could be an en-
tire Encouragement of the present
situation so far as the geographical
distribution of anthracite is concerned.
Each anthracite carrier would confine
its distribution within its legitimate
territory, due consideration being
given to its proportional share Of the
entire territory"

VETOED BY THE MAYOR.
Council Orders Expenditures in an
Irregular Manner.

Just as predicted at last Tuesday
evenings meeting of the city council,
Mayor Thompson yesterday fled with
City Recorder Nystrom his disapproval
of the action Of the council in approx
ing reports of committees for installing
a steam heating plant in the new FIRE
station and for a new boiler for the
Liberty park green house.
The city's executive states in his veto
messages that he is in favor of the
expenditures proposed and regrets the
delay occasioned by the irregular
method of arranging for the improve
ments. but on the advice of the city
attorney the board of public works is
the proper body to solicit the bids and
to award the contracts, subject to the
councils approval Another ground
for objection is stated in the fact that
the council actions were taken on the
affirmative votes of only seven OF the
councilmen, whereas the law requires
at least eight votes, a majority OF the
entire council, to order an expenditure.
The mayors vetOs will be submitted
TO the council next Tuesday evening
and it is not doubted that the ObJec-
tons Will be sustained.

IN BEHALF OF WIDOWS.
Insurance Companies Want War
Revenue Tax Abolished.

The life insurance companies are
taking q strong hand in the fight now
going on in congress to secure redue-
ttons in the war revenue tax. The Ma
tional Association of Life Under
writers is sending out circulars to the
policy holders of the various life in
surance companies doing business in
this country, asking them TO bring all
the pressure possible on members OF
congress to make the 50 cents on each
81 600 of insurance one of the items
to be included in the reductions to be
made. It is stated that this tax
amounts to 100000 a year and that it
comes from the widows and the
orphans who are the benefCiaries of
the Insurance. The agents of the Varl-
GUS companies here in Salt Lake will
do their full share in working up senti-
ment among the people in favor OF
abolishing this tax.
