Abba zetas Win Cup.

The loving cup, which was offered by
the High School Alumni to the winners
of the contest held in the opera house
last Friday evening, was won by the
Alpha Zetas, the members of that SO.
ciety proving themselves superior in the
compositions and debate to the Alpha
Omegas. The numbers for which the
cup was contested was an original story,
defamation and the debate. In the or
iginal story, George Williams, OF the
Alpha Zeta society was declared the
winner over Ray Laird for the Alpha
Omega. Fannie Comfort for the Alpha
Zetas in the delivery OF the "Recession.
al" was declared the winner, but "The
Perfect Tribute" given by Gertrude
Flaherty Of the Omegas caused a divis-
ion of the honors in the declamations.
The question, Resolved, "That the En-
glish government is superior in form and
operation to that Of the United States"
was very ably debated by Walter Kel.
leher and Grace Pascoe for the aiiirma-
tive and Wilson Todd and Flank Nor
rison for the negative. The judges de-
cided in favor of the negative. Todd
and Morrison both did well and were
entitled to victory.
The singing, which was furnished by
the High school chorus was delightful
and pleasing as weie also the instru-
mental solos and the songs by the quin-
tstte and sextette.
Prof Frank II. Fl. Roberts of fhe Den.
yer University acted as one of the
judges and delivered the cup to the sue
cessful society. Mr.. Roberts made a
few remarks before delivering the pres
entation speech proper and as usual was
enthusiastically received by the audi
ence. Prof. Roberts is most enter
tairing speaker and the opportunity Of
listening to him is regarded as a rare
treat by the pupils of the Central
schools and their parents. The profess
sor said he was indeed proud to be sell
ected as one of the judges and that he
hoped each year when the contest for
cup was held he could be in attendance
and further said he expected to be pres
ent at contest in the somewhat dis
tant future when the daughter of the
worthy chairman referring to ". E.
Withrow) would be one of the contest
ants.
The affair throughout was highly en-
joyable to the large audience and par
ticularly edifying to the participants
and the scholars who were present. AS
Professor Roberts said, much good is
bound to result from such entertain
ments. Each year the contests are to
be held under the auspices of the
Alumni and will doubtless be looked
forward to with pleasurable anticipation
by the High school students and their
parents. The Alumni is to be congratu.
lated and commended on so splendid an
entertainment.

are both big and true. Practically
every variety of fresh-water fish in
common use as food is found in the

The principal yield is trout, white
fish and herring, but there are doz-

in considerable quantities. Even the
despised sucker represents a value
of $121,576 in the latest report by
the National Bureau of Fisheries.
Surgeons were caught to the value

The pneumatic tool in it's various
forms has become so universal nova
days that one is constrained to be-
lieve its day of novelty is over, and
that the field of application has been
thoroughly defined. However, one of
the large makers has discovered a de-
mand for a miniature air drill, the
size of which is no larger than a
mans hand, five inches across. This
midget, which weighs two and a half
pounds, and which is modelled after
the design of the larger tools, is ex-
tremely powerful relatively, being ca
pable of drilling up to 3-16-inch steel.
It's chief value is fol-, drilling holes

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered With Yellow Sores-Grew
Worse-Parents Discouraged
Cuficura Drove Sores AWAY.


"Our little girl, one year and a half old,
was taken with eczema or that was what
the doctor said it was. We called in the
family doctor and he gave some tablets
and said she would be all right in a few
days. The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she was
teething; as soon as the teeth were
through she would be all right. But she
still grew worse. Doctor No. 3 said it was
eczema. By this time she was nothing
but a yellow, g~nenish sore. Well, he said
he could help l4er, SO we let him try it
about a week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes.
Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 8.
He came over and looked her over and
said that he could not do anything more
for her, that we had better take her to
some eye specialist, since 1t was IN ulcer.
So we welt to Oswego to doctor No. 4,
and he said the eyesight was gone,
but that he could help it. We thought
we would try doctor No. 5. Well, that
proved the same, only he charged SO
more than doctor No. a.. We were nearly
discouraged. l saw one of the Cuticura
advertisements in the paper and thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so
| went and purchased a set of Cuticura
Remedies, which cost me 81, and in three
days our daughter, who had been sick
about eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had dis
appeared. Of course it could not restore
the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura
in time | am confident that it would have
saved the eye. We think there is no rem
edy SO good for any skin trouble or i'm
purity of the blood as Cuticura. Mr.. and

WHITE BREAD
Makes Trouble For People With
Weak Intestinal Digestion.

A lady In a Wis. town employed a
physician, who instructed her not to
eat white bread for two years. She
tells the details of her sickness, and
she certainly was a sick woman.
"In the year 1887 I gave out from
over work, and until 1901 l remained
an invalid in bed a great part of the
time. Had different doctors, but
nothing seemed to help. 1 suffered
from cerebro-spinal congestion, fe-
male trouble and serious stomach
and bowel trouble. My husband
called a new doctor, and after having
gone without any food for 10 days
the doctor ordered Grape-Nuts for
me. / could eat the new food from
the very first mouthful. The doctor
kept me on Grape-Nuts, and the only
medicine was a little glycerine to heal
the alimentary canal.
When | was up again doctor told
me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and
no white bread for two years. l got
well in good time, and have gained
in strength so l can do my own work
again.
my brain has been helped so
much, and l know that the Grape
Nuts food did this, too. / found 1
had been made i'll because l was not
fed right, that is, I did not properly
digest white bread and some other
food l tried to live on.

Nuts, food since and eat it every day.

"What Shall | Do?"

That is the problem which fire.
quently confronts everyone - espe-
cially parents with small children. A
slight illness treated at once often
saves a long period Of sickness and
REPRESENTATIVES, prevents death.
The trouble is that so few people can
think on the instant what treatment
to apply, even if they have the knowl-
edge necessary to recognize the dis
ease and know what simple remedies
are best. To meet this want at small
expense the Book Publishing House,
1874 Leonard street, New York City,
is sending postpaid a doctor book on
receipt of sixty cents in stamps. The
book is illustrated, contains 598
pages, explains symptoms, causes
and simple means of overcoming Or
binary illnesses. 1t was written by
the eminent J. Hamilton Ayrea, A.

TAKING PAY FOR BOARD.
Neighborhood Row In Utah Over q
Wandering Cow,

nHuOcFluR SONs
This is the sad tale of a cow which
went astray, nibbled where the grass
and hay tasted juiciest, and then
caused the arrest of a peaceable
neighbor. The case was brought to
light in Judge Diehl's court, and still
hangs in the balance. And here 1t is:
Up on Capital Hill COWS have q
habit of strolling where they think
the best grass grows, and the people
have not made much of a TODD about
1t. But the nuisance finally evoked
the anger of one G. Clarkson, and he
determined to get even. Mrs. Cow
had been rel his way too often, TAX
ing more grass than he cared to lose,
and also eyincing a decided appetite
for his hay. Mrs. Cow was the prop
erty Of Alexander Salin, and Alexan-
der was forthwith notified to keep
the COW at home. But Alexander had
too much to attend to, and could not
find time to walk around after his
COW to see where she went.
The patience of Clarkson was
finally worn out, and he swore ven
geance. And this COW, by the way,
was an excellent mich animal, and
Clarkson hit upon a great scheme.
When the cow came his way he cor
rallied her, produced a milk pail and
got busy.
Night after night Salin tried to
milk his COW, but found her dry.
And then he began an Investigation.
Clarkson was found one evening
milking the cow, with a broad smile
spreading over his countenance. Sa-
lin demanded an explanation and got
one. He was told that the cow per-
sisted in grazing Clarksonway, and
that the method which he had un-
earthed was about the only way the
loser could find of getting even with
the game. Clarkson had it on the
owner of the bovine in physical
strength, and the only of
Salin rested with the courts. So to
the court he went
1t developed during the trial, in
which Clarkson was charged with
petit larceny, that the defendant had
MIXED the cow forty cents worth,
and had consumed the milk. Where
fore, Salin asked that the court pun
ish him. Clarkson admitted having
MIXED the COW, and was not back
ward about saying that he might
have disposed Of eight quarts of milk
coming from that animal. But he
declared that the COW had eaten more
than fifty cents worth of his hay,
and that he still had two quarts COM
ing. He wanted that lost hay to be
paid form milk or otherwise.
Judge ,Diehl pondered long and
studiously over the case and finally
announced that the case would be
continued.
This question of whose COW goes
where is interesting the whole settle
ment out on Capital Hill, and the
courtroom was full of witnesses and
interested people. A veritable neigh
borhood quarrel has been the upshot
Of the Salin-Clarkson row, and de-
velopments of interest are expected
when the case is resumed.-Salt Lake
