little laborers cottages on the suburbs,

like oliver Twist we are crying for
more. Even public and religious struc-

erected a large Jail on the other; and
In addition TO the churches and jails

There has been a move from all sides
to get into the band wagon the past
year. For years and years certain in
terests have held off buying in Salt
Lake, waiting for the day when things
would be cheaper Men who had money,
and expected to erect fine homes,
thought II wise to wait and keep their
eye open for lower prices. Alas, It Is
a lesson that many men have had to
learn before now; and when those de-
sirable localities. instead OF cheapen-
ing, began to move UP In figure with
surprising uniformity and steadlness,
these interests began to open their
eyes. Fresh blood was coming into the
town from the mountains and plains
around. This element Is what in COM
mon parlance here Is known as the
new crowd" Possibly this crowd, like
the "old crowd" has its own sins to
answer for, and mayhap at times and

Not only has Salt Lake climbed In the
past year but all the country around
it has spurted, Reference is not made
particularly to the suburbs of Salt
Lake, such as Murray and Bingham
junction and Sandy, where the great
smeters employing thousands Of labor
ers have been erected, but rather to
the distinctively agricultural districts.
Beet sugar has worked a revolution
in the agricultural situation in Utah.
W 10 the time of the discovery that our
irrigated soil was the ideal home for
the sugar beet, our two staple, reliable
crops were alfalfa and potatoes. But
what has happened here in the last
few years? Farmers have found that
five acres of sugar beets will yield as
much profit as flfty acres Of potatoes
or alfalfa; and that Il viii employ
the younger element of the farmers
household at the very season when II is
not In school. This beet culture has
taken hundreds and thousands of acres
that were formerly I'm alfalfa and
potatoes. In turn this has raised the
price Of hay and potatoes, since IL Is no
longer possible TO I'LL the home demand
for these products, The large profits,
in turn, have Increased the value of
the farmers land, since the amount
of arabic soil in the mountain states
Is absolutely limited So that while
city real estate has been steadily ad-
vanclng, the country land has also been
going up: and both have absolutely
solid foundations on which to stand.

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM.
Any Man Over Fifty.

You can interest any man o. er fifty
years of age in anything that will make
him feel better, because while he may
not as yet have any positive organic
disease he no longer feels the buoyancy
and vigor of twenty-five nor the free
dom from aches and pains he enjoyed
i'm earlier years. and he very naturally
examines with interest any proposition
looking to the Improvement and preser-
walton Of his health.
He will notice among other things
that the stomach of fifty is a very diff
ierent one from the stomach he pos
sessed at twenty-five. That greatest
care must be exercised as to what is
eaten and how much of it, and even
with the best of care, there will be in
creasins digestive weakness with ad-
vancing years.
A proposition to perfect or Improve
the digestion and assimilation of food
is one which interests not only every
man of fifty but every man. woman and
child of any age. because the whole Sc
cret of good health, good blood. strong
nerves. is to have Il stomach which Will
promptly and thoroughly digest whole
some food because blood. nerves, brain
tissue and every other constituent OF
the body is entirely the product of
digestion, and no medicine or health
food can possibly create pure blood or
restore shaky nerves, when weak
stomach is rcplenshing the daily wear
and tear of the body from a mass of
fermenting half-digested food.
No. the stomach itself wants help and
in no round about way either; ii wants
direct. unmstakable assistance such as
| is given by one or two Stuarts Dyspep-
| STA Tablets after each meal.
These tablets cure stomach trouble
| because their use give the stomach a
chance TO rest and recuperate: one OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contains
| digestive elements sufficient to digest
5000 grains of ordinary food such as
bread. meat. eggs. etc.
| The plan of dieting is simply another
| name for starvation. and the use OF
prepared foods and new tangled break
| fast foods simply makes matters worse
as any dyspeptic who has tried then
| knows.
AS DR.. Bennett says. the only reason
I can inf.nagne why Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets are not universally used by
everybody who is troubled in any way
with poor digestion is because many
people seem to think that because &
medicine is advertised or is sold in drug
stores or is protected by trade mari

ter of truth any druggist who is obser-
