have honored this office with many
gratifying words of encouragement, Of
fers of aid and expressions of appreci-
alton of the work of the congress. while
state city and county officials OF sur
rounding states are naming their most
representative citizens as delegates
The United States government indi-
Gates its interest in the work and con-
fidence in the men who have that work
in charge by selecting ten of the most
noted scientists TO attend the sessions
of the congress.
But Notwithstanding these facts and
the further fact that the publicity work
has been going on constantly for eight
weeks, the responses from the people of
Utah are wholly unsatisfactory. Dele
gates have so far been named
from but one city in your state, and
no word of any kind has been received
from your boards of county commits
sioners. In view of your intimate inter
ests in the congress, its purposes and
is proper reception. this condition of
apparent carelessness on you part is at
least surprising. Your widespread and
hitherto well deserved reputation for
public spirit and hospitality is at
stake, and 1 feel it my duty to take
this method of urging you to get busy,
name your best men as delegates and
come to the congress prepared to DEM
onstrate to the hundreds of visitors
who win be here that Utah still holds
the leading place among her sister
states in all matters OF broad public
consequence, and in the welcome she
gives to the stranger within her gates.
Very sincerely.

SOME HARD KNOCKS.
woman GETS Rid of "oonoc Heart


The Injurious action of Coffee on the
heart of many persons is well known by
physicians TO be caused by caffeine
This is the drug found by chemists in
coffee and tea.
A woman suffered a long timo with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up coffee.
as that was the principal cause OF the
trouble, She writes:
MY heart was so weak il could not
do It's work properly. My husband
would sometimes have TO carry me
from the table, ana II would seem

For many year this city and state
have been honored by having the head
quarters of the Transmissouri Dry
Farming congress, a distinction which
your duly accredited representatives
won from another city and another
state after a prolonged and arduous
contest.
The work of this congress is of the
UTMOST Importance to you and your
posterity. There lives among you no
banker, no merchant, no farmer, no
professional man, no worker in any
walk of life who will not be the direct
and permanent beneficiary of the sue
cessful accomplishment of the objects
of this congress. Those objects surpass
in economic Importance the work of the
National Irrigation congress, the
Transmississippi Commercial congress
and the American Mining congress
any one, or all combined.
They have as their ultimate purpose
an enormous increase in the cultivable
area of the country, which means more
homes. more factories, more banks,
more business houses more churches,
more schools, in short, more of every
thing that moves for the upbuilding of
your state and the betterment of your
fortunes and OF your children. This
view is enthusiastically Endorsed by
such individuals as Luther Burbank of
California III. w. Campbell OF Ne
braska, the chiefs of United States gov
eminent departments, the presidents of
great universities, and by the pro-
foundest thinkers among the publicists
of the United States. These gentlemen
