The auction sale which took place

people gathered from far and near,
and everybody was quite liberal in
bidding the goods up to good
price. The Bethania Ladies Aid
division alone disposed of goods for
q little over $50. while the other
two societies sold for something like
the same.

SOLDIER JOINS
THE CHAIN GANG
Military Authorities Allow Mar
shall to Serve Out His
Sentence.

Clad in his army uniform. Alfred j..
Marshall OF the Fifteenth United States
infantry yesterday commenced a term
of fifty days with the chain gang The
military figure among the petty thieves
and outcasts who form the chain gang
will present an unusual spectacle for
passers along the boulevard, where the
prisoners are kept at work. Marshall
was found guilty of beating d Chinaman
at Plum alley and Commercial avenue
Two other soldiers who were with him
at the time and who were arrested, were
discharged When the soldier was fined,
Police Judge Diehl allowed him to re-
turn TO Fort Douglas to report to the
authorities there and make an effort to
raise money with which to pay the
fine.
He reappeared in the police court yes
terday in custody of a sergeant, who
explained that Marshall had been ar
rested by the military authorities on his
appearance at Fort Douglas.
The sergeant seemed under the i'm
preston that he was to escort Mar
shall back to the fort, and did not leave
the police court until he received in
structions over the telephone from his
supeTiors that Marshall was to be left
in the hands of the civil authorities un-
til he serves his sentence. Marshall
seemed crushed when he learned that he
would have to go to the chain gang.
As he was led away to the city Jail.
there were many expressions of SYM
pathy from a number of soldiers who
had gathered to see what was to be done
with their companion. But While the
soldiers were lavish with their sympa-
thy, there was apparently not enough
money in the crowd to pay Marshall's
fine.

CURES COLDS QUICKLY

A never falling home remedy for
coughs and colds is made from
the following formula to be mixed
at home:
Two ounces of glycerine, one
half ounce of Concentrated oil of
pine, one-half pint of good whis-
key; mix and shake thoroughly; use
in doses of a teaspoonful to a ia
blespoonful every four hours
This will cure any cough that is
durable or break up an acute cold
in twenty-four hours. The fngre-
dents all can be gotten at any
drug store. Concentrated oil OF
pine comes put up for medicinal
use only in half-ounce walls en-.
fclosed in tin screw top cases de-
signed to protect it from heat and
light. The bulk oils and the pat
ent medicine limitations should be
avoided, as they contain resin and
other impurities that produce nau-
sea and permanent kidney trouble.
To get the right article be sure it
is the Concentrated oil of pine,
as this is really the only soluble
pine preparation known to science
and is the result of the expert
ments made in the pine forests of
Maine.

THOMAS OWES 100000
Rumor That Committee of Creditors
Would Cut His Income to
$4,000 Denied

New York. Feb. 1e.-It was said today
on the authority of a member of the
subcommittee of the E. r. Thomas credi-
tors committee, which had been exam
iTHng the financial affairs of the former
banker. that, contrary to reports no de-
cision had been reached to cut Mr.. Thorn
as income to $4,000 and devote the re-
malnder to the payment of his debts.
There is no truth in such statements -
said this man. Our committe was
simply appointed to discover the extent
of Mr.. Thomas liabilities and his abil-
ity to meet them. Personally [ am in
favor of satisfying all his creditors as
soon as possible and with as little in
convenience TO Mr.. Thomas as may be.
we wish TO keep Mr.. Thomas out of
bankruptcy proceedings. because we think
things can be settled otherwise. Then
court would set aside sufficient money
for him 10 live on. Our committee has
determined that Mr.. Thomas liabilities
are about 100000 The definite figures
will be presented to the committee some
time this week.

BLAMES DOCTOR
FOR Loss OF EYE
Jane James Sues ]. E. Robert
son of Bingham Juno
ton for $1,000.

Alleging that she has practically lost
the sight of her right eye through the
negligence of Dr. j. E. Robertson of
Bingham Junction, Jane James yester-
day brought suit against him in the
district court for $1,000 damages.
Mrs. James says that on Feb. g. 1906
Robertson removed a cyst from the
upper lid of her right eye. After per-
forming the operation, she claims that
he applied a liquid to the lid which she
believes to have been some kind of an
acid. The liquid was allowed to drop
on her face, making several burns.
From that time on for twenty-five days
she suffered intense pain, and visited
DR.. Robertson each day for treatment.
On March u, 1906, he is said to have
told her that he could do nothing more
for her, and she came to Salt Lake
and entered St. Marks hospital on
March II. She remained there three
weeks under the care of another physi-
clan.
She says that it has been found that
the liquid which the defendant placed
on the lid of her eye burned the pupil
and practically destroyed the sight.
Since then she has been compelled,
when out of doors, to wear colored
glasses or keep her eye shut when in
the light.
Mrs. James says that the present
condition of her eye and the loss of
sight thereof is the natural and proxi-
mate result of the negligence and lack
of skill' Of DR.. Robertson.

Why 90 Hours?

It requires SO hours to turn white wheat into
Mapl-Flake. Yet faxed foods can be made in one
fourth of that time. Why do we employ so expen-
sve process?
Simply to make every atom digestible-to create
a food that's all food
Wheat is largely starch. And starch, to be d-
gestibe, must be made soluble. The particles of
the starch must be separated the digestive juices
can get to them.
To break up the starch granules requires high
heat, long continued. With halfway methods, only
half the starch will digest. The balance ferments
and breeds germs in the stomach.
Our wheat is steam-cooked for six hours then
cured. Then each separate berry is faxed SO thin
that the full heat of ovens attacks every atom
Then the fakes are toasted for 80 minutes in heat
Of 400 degrees.
We do that because we know it is necessary. We
aim at perfect food, not a cheap food. For the
cheapest food, after all, is the food that supplies
the most nourishrnent.
Mapl-Flake is cooked in pure maple syrup. The
reason for that is-deliciousness
