Just A Moderate Boost
BY Briant S. Young.

I'VE build our future thought by
thought,
For good or bad, and know it not
Yet so the universe is wrought"
Considering conditions as they ex-
ist in the State of Utah and Salt Lake
City today, there is every reason to
know-not merely to believe-that
both are on the crest of the wave OF
prosperity and progress. And such
condition is purely a natural Sc
quence, the logical outcome of events
that have been compromising for over
half a century.
Today, Utah as state, and Salt
Lake City as community, are show
ing to the world, after over half
century of subjugation of adverse
natures forces, that their future has
been built thought by thought: each
thought followed by an upward stride
in prosperity and progress. And ma
ture has been lavish, and though slow
ly conquered has more than repaid in
bounteous returns for all the labor
and effort devoted to her conquest
Nowhere are there the natural adj
vantages possessed by Utah; no
where do the hills vomit forth greater
returns for little capital invested; no
where do the fields yield more boun-
teous harvests. Nature and man,
working together, have resolved the
barren wilderness into a garden,
where all is peace, plenty and pros
perity.
We have the greatest smelters in
the world; we have the greatest dry
farming regions, in proportion to
yield of crops for area cultivated in
the west; we have the greatest cop
per and silver mines in the world;
the vast railroads Of the country, af-
ter casting longing and covetous eyes
in this direction have at last subju-
gated the wildness of the grandest

they too might rise above the dust
or mud of the highways and fly
through the clean air OF the heavens.
Once above the tree tops, the mar
row roads no longer arbitrarily fix
the course. The earth is spread out
before the eye with a richness Of
color and beauty of pattern never
imagined by those who have gazed
at the landscape edgewise only. The
view of the ordinary traveller is as
inadequate as that OF an ant crawling
over magnificent rug The rich
brown of freshly-turned earth, the
lighter shades Of dry ground, the still
lighter browns and yellows of ripen-
ing crops, the almost innumerable
shades of green produced by grasses
and forests, together present sight
whose beauty has been confined to
balloonsts alone in the past. With
the coming of the flyer, the pleasures
of ballooning are joined with those
of automobilng to form supreme
combination.

see that day, but with thousands OF
buzzards, eagles hawks, and sea
birds giving demonstration of the
possibility of soaring fight every day
of the year, no good reason exists
for asserting that human fight with
out motors is entirely visionary.
Meanwhile the motor-driven flyers
will become sufficiently numerous TO
afford great sport, not only to the
amateur aviators, but also indirectly
to the general public, for the flying
machine races of the future will SUR

pire of a sovereign state with the
placid shores OF the Pacific and the
turbulent tide of the great Atlantic.
From end to end of this state
rings the sound of hammer, pick and
drill. In the autumn, the song of the
thresher is heard, whipping the grain
into marketable shape, the follower
of the earlier season of the mower,
reaper and binder. To the north and
to the south, countless thousands Of
acres of land are hid beneath the
sheltering shade of the sugar beet
top: in the fall, sugar by the pound,
by the hundredweight, by the ton, by
the carload by the trainload, is
turned out of sugar factories. Car
loads of canned goods, overalls,
shoes, brooms, spices, coffee, tea,
candies, cocoa and other commodities
made in Utah, are turned over TO
the railroads each year, to be trans
ported to all the section embraced
in the intermountain region, in a
walled-in domain of five sovereign
states, each of which pays tribute to
Utah by buying her products and in
return enrich its citizens by their
wealth.

Colored Embroideries.

Colored embroideries should be washed
in suds made of white soap in moderately
warm water. They must never be boiled
nor allowed to lie wet after washing.
Instead. they should be hung up immsdi-
ately to dry in a shady place.
Sunlight will fade the colors. and boiling
or lying in a wet heap will cause them to
run.
Az added precaution we'll worth adopt

DEEP BREATHING.
This Exercise Tends to Make Skin
PRETTY

How to breathe deeply seems to be a
sealed mystery to most persons, and yet
unless it is done one can be neither ply
sicalIy strong nor pretty. If the lungs
are not we'll filed with fresh air it is i'm
possible to have a clear complexion and
bright eyes. no matter how many cos
metics are used.
Exercises if taken every morning by
which the lungs are distended. will help
to form the habit of deep breathing, which
once acquired is practiced unconsciously.
No amount of filling the lungs will be
beneficial unless the air that is taken in Is
fresh. Therefore. if one is in town and the
exercise cannot be taken out of doors, a
window must be opened at the top. as we'll

before the work is begun. The sash should
remain up during the ten minutes in
which the lungs are exercised.

many persons hold themselves in so that
the abdomen protruded. This is an in
furious thing to do. The lower part of
the trunk must be held in and only the
lungs expanded. One will be aided in
this by putting the heels together and
the toes out. then throwing the weight
of the body slightly forward so it will rest
on the balls of the feet not on the heels.
If this is done the chance of thrusting for

The head must be held well up the chin

Rough patches of skin that sometimes

rule, are best, for the trouble is one OF

In this treatment nothing is more i'm
portant that that the use of drying To-

tons must be substituted. and they serve
the purpose. not only OF cleansing. but OF

is used they will make the second condi-
ton worse than the first by dragging dust
and impurities into the pores and holding
them there. This will only happen when

should have a soft bit of old muslin
