Up to this time We had fancied the
speaker very gorgeously attired fuTn-

occasionally describe as a lumber king.
His boots and gloves were of beauti-

''Well-rather," he replied, throwing
back his head 70 laugh loud "Ho!

now that the American and Canadian
governments have Introduced them so
successfully, it is rather hard to be
exact about the home of the reindeer.
Let me see, it was in 1891 that reindeer
were first taken to Alaska, only sixteen
head; now there are 10000.
In 1898 il was supposed that the min
ers in the Klondike were out Of sup
plies and might die of starvation. In
their extremity the Canadian govern
ment came to Lapland to find a beast
of burden fitted TO carry relief. Al

Further, parents. mothers partic III Ar

OF the subject of dietetics. There are q
great many matters concerning food

How many women who preside over

many know any very great deal about
what foods go we'll together and what
foods should never be given together?
What are the food elements that are
really indispensable? Is not over
eating as prolific trouble as over
drinking? Should the diet of growing
boys and old men be the same? If not.
why not, and what difference should
there be? What effect does cooking
have upon the digestibility of foods?
When should there be moderation. and
when abstemiousness in the matter of
food? Is a purely vegetable diet de-
slrable or not? Should there be q sea
sonal variation in the diet, or should
we eat the same foods and in the same
amounts winter and summer?
There are comparatively few dis
eases in which the diet is not Of a great

In supporting all measures which have
for their purpose the suppression and
prevention Of the contagious diseases.
Occasionally we see those who are not
active in their support of health boards
and public health officers. Preventive
medicine is the medicine of the future.
Physicians should be paid more for
preventing disease than for curing 1t.
Considering the large number Of pre-
ventable diseases and the annual NOR
tality therefronn, it is simply astonish-
ing how little support public health Of
-ficers receive IN the performance Of
their sduties.s..In fact many seem. to

Let. us as parents give TO all indfgid-
uaisscr boards charged with the pres
erVati0n OF the public health all the
support that is possible. If we, have
any indication of contagious disease In
our families let us be the first to make
it known and place ourselves under the
strictest regulations in order thai, no
from our lack of obedience to the law.
We should be actuated by a keen
sense of justice and right in this mat
ter as in all others.
Support the Public Schools.
Finally, support your public school
authorities as high-minded public
spirited citizens should The greatest
institution in the United States is the
public school 1t is the hope OF the
future and needs your support.
Just in this connection let me make
one further suggestion. There should
be in this city and in every other city
of considerable size a department of
child study, conducted under the SUI
pervision of the public school board
In such department would be found
the various principals with other
trained workers. and every case OF in
corTigibility, unruliness, juvenile crime,
etc. should be carefully studied as
most every case is an educational prob
lem and should be solved by educators,
Why treat a child as a criminal be-
cause we do not happen to understand

and humane way? IF there were such
a department in the Salt Lake City
schools I am sure that there are many
parents who would be glad to go to 1t
their children-particularly If they were
assured of a kindly welcome, helping

teachers to do their full duty by ali the

that to include those who need us most
