A Summer Trip Unsurpassed On
The Continent,

The Continent.
The trip to Salt Lake City or to the
Pacific Coast via that point over the
Denver & Rio Grande system THE
Scenic Line of the World, is the most
beautiful in America. No European
trip of eqaal length can compare with
it in grandeur of scenery or wealth Of
novel interest. Then Salt Lake City
itself is a most quaint and picturesque
place and we'll worth the journey. Its
Mormon temple, tabernacle, tithing
Office and church institutions: its hot
sulphur springs within the city limits:
its delightful temperature, sunny cli-
mate and it's Great Salt Lake-deadcr
and denscr than the Dead Sea in Pal
estine--are but few features OF salt
Lake City's countless attractions.
There are parks, drives, canons, and
beautiful outlying mountains and lake
resorts. Imagine, if you can, bath
in salt water a mile above sea level
and in water in which the human body
cannot sink. Inquire Of your nearest
ticket agent for low tourist rates to
Salt Lake City. or write for informa-
tion and copy Of salt Lake City, the

These trees are originally from Aus

the name Of antlfever trees, as by
their rapid growth and large amount
Of foliage they absorb the poisonous
gases Of the swamps, making the air
pure and the climate healthy. In Cal

land several thousand acres in area
have been planted with seedlings of
the eucalyptus rostrata for fuel, rail-
road ties and for windbreaks. On ac-
count Of their rapid growth they make
desirable shade trees for the dwelling
and pasture lots. In many parts Of
the southwest the eucalypts are util-
ised to advantage to furnish shade in

CORRECT BREATHING.
In Ordinary Life Few People Breathe

"Do you know how to breatheY"
asked a dyspeptic-looking man of his
companion, whose full, horid face de-
noted a jolly nature. I'm fact, should
ask how long 1t has been since you
drew your breath" The fat-faced man
moved nervously and cast a suspicious
glance at his friend He was about to
reply when be was interrupted again.
'The truth Is you haven't breathed in
weeks, perhaps months, and l can
prove It. Don't be alarmed; | do not
intend to hold an autopsy on you, and
the coroner will not be called In to
furnish evidence of what say.
Breathing is something that very few
people do. 1t is not a universal habit.
Less than per cent of people breathe
as they should. Even a larger per
cent Of tomato plants or oak trees
breathe in the way that they should
than men You may demonstrate this
fact to yourself. ALI that is necessary
is to carry out a few simple sugges-
tions which / will make, and consider
well the indications which will be pre-
sented after you have made the ex-
pertinent. Breath Is life. The deli
cate organs and still more delicate
muscles which are involved in breath
ing require action as much as do the
biceps or triceps. Lie on your back for
thirty days and observe how weak
the muscles of the legs and body be-
come. They would be shrunken and
dabby and entirely too weak to carry
your weight. They would be impover.
ished. Think not then, that the more
delicate and sensitive organs and
muscles Of the inner man do not need
exercise This is given them by
breathing Now, take man who has
not exercised his biceps or triceps FOL
several weeks and let him do 80 fol
the space of three minutes. Then OBJ
serve how exhausted he feels. 1t Il
because the muscles are not used t.
such violent action. In the same way
let a man start violent respiratory
motion and continue 1t for three min
utes. You will see the most perfec
picture Of that tired feeling that yoI
could imagine. That will be proc
enough that the person who is thu
