KEEPING WELL.

One thing brought out at the International
tuberculosis Congress, which held session last
month in the city of Washington was the old fact
that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure. Nearly everybody except Christian Scien-
fists will now concede that the prevention of dis
case by sanitary precautions is by far the wisest
course to pursue and among those whom we except
no doubt there are many who will agree that the
prevention of disease, even if not done by sani-
tary precautions, is far preferable to combating
the disease after it has developed. Pasteur, the
eminent scientist who has given the world num-
Der of invaluable discoveries concerning germ life
and the determination of the parasite life which is
injurious to the human family, says that it is in
the power of man to cause all parasitic diseases
to disappear from the world. Included in the list
of diseases now known to be parasitic or germ dis
eases are tuberculosis typhoid fever, smallpox, and
a host of diseases which make child life so pre-
carious. such as meningitis, scarlet fever diPh-
liberia and measles. IF it is possible to free the
world from t5ese diseases, CT erea approximate rely

and lasting benefit to the coming generations
Dir. Koch, the eminent scientist, urged before
the congress the Importance of instlling in the
minds of children the more important sanitary
laws because, he said children are quicker to learn

rigation, the rural free delivery the building OF
good roads, the Improvement and development OF
the waterways and railroads, all these have been
of vast benefit to the farmers of the country. And
the results of experiments at the stations estab-
lished and maintained by the federal government
have made broader the fields of endeavor and
profitable work of the farmer.
There doesn't seem to be any good reason why
the luxuries of the city should not be extended to
the farms of the country. Inasmuch as the ma
tional prosperity is based upon the prosperity OF
the farmer, and inasmuch as the producer of the
prosperity gets the first chance at the things we
eat and wear it is hard to imagine any legitimate
reason why the farmer should not secure his share
of the things he produces very generous
share-and that the drudgery of farm work should
be lightened and the life made so attractive that
the people, old and young, should flock back to the
farm instead of to the city, where the prizes in
most cases are won only by the sacrifice of health
and contentment.

INDEPENDENT VOTING.

During the campaign which has just been
brought 20 a close by the election we were some
times amused at the political arguments put up
by partisans of party the other. For in
nearly every political argument which heard,
there possibility in the minds of the dis
putants that they might be wrong, and the other
party to the dispute right. That was impossible,
for both were so absolutely sure that they
right that they would have staked almost their
life upon their side of the question.
Probably never before in Utah politics was an
equal opportunity given to the people to vote
discriminating ballot ballot based on the issues
and the various representatives of the parties on
the tickets as to their fitness for the offices to
which they aspired. During all the campaign we
heard no one advocate the election of men on
their merits alone though Just what connection
there can be between the tariff question or the bank
guaranty question and local iudgeship or a
county office in Salt Lake county is beyond our
comprehension
What difference can it possibly make if
county surveyor is a free trader high protec-
ZIONIST, OF whether a sheriff believes or does not
believe in the guaranty of bank deposits. And
what possible connection there be between the
election of Democratic or Republican president
and the election of good and faithful servants on
the board of county commissioners! Although it
is probable that the great majority of people in
herit their political partisanshp, it does seem that
they could lay aside that partsanship long enough
to permit them to determine in their mind
that the administration of the affairs of counties
has nothing whatever to do with the administra-
ton of the affairs of the country, and that the
settlement Of the tariff issues will not make for an
economical administration of the affairs of the
county.
But that is one of the peculiarities of poll
tics the country The captains beat their
drums, and the people cast their ballots as their
partisanship rather than their good sense die
tates. And we have all survived it. so it is prob
ably not so bad as the independent voter would
have US believe. Maybe the best men get in that
way, anyhow. Let us hope so, at least.

KEEPING UP APPEARANCES.

We have often heard that the way to become
prosperous and happy is to look prosperous and
happy. This happy solution of the difficulties of the
individual ought to be handed over to the govern
ment experts and have them try it the people as
a whole. When we as a nation get on the outer
edges and are about to fall off into the abyss of
despair and hard times have the experts go before
the people and tell them to look happy, put on
sunny smile and be prosperous in spite of the adj
verse conditions which they think they are up
against. There great many stories about how
the man was down his last bit but he got shaved
and bought shine and got job on the strength
of his refined and prosperous appearance. We don't
happen to know anybody who did this wonder
full thing, but there must be lots of such persons
in the world, for we have heard the story a great
many times and have read it often in the pages
given to juvenile fiction.
Therefore, when the nation thinks it is going up
against of hard times, the professional pol

THANKSGIVING.

The proclamation of the president of the Unit
ed States has been issued setting aside Thursday,
Nov, 90 a day of feasting and thanksgiving to
the Oliver of all good things The annual holiday
is one which is distinctively American, and the
American people with one accord should bow be-
fore the Creator this day and give thanks unto
him for the bounteous blessings which they have
enjoyed during the year that has passed Each
soul in the country has some great and deep-set
cause for thanks which he feels in his heart and
each should reverently give thanks unto the Lord
for those things which are dstinctively the gifts
from our Heavenly Father. And what is there
that we have enjoyed during the past year that
has not come through the goodness of the Supreme
Guide to whom all must look for comfort in their
sorrows and for cheer in their moments of de
spondence?
There are those who have suffered the loss of
dear ones through the visitation of the grim reap
err and those whose bodies have suffered through
pain and accident While a spirit of resentment
may enter into the souls of those who have been
called upon to suffer- yet in the annual summing
up of the blessings bestowed, even the humblest
and the most sorely tried can find cause for
thankfulness, for we have as nation been kindly
dealt with
The day is of feasting throughout the
country. Those whose adverse fortunes have made
them feel the need of help will not appeal in vain
to those more fortunately blessed and the chill
dren bereft of parents and located in the various
institutions supported by the charity of the people
will all be made to understand That he blessings
of our Lord are bestowed upon them, too.
While the Thanksgiving dinner has become one
of the chief means of spending the holiday, yet
should all consider the day as one of greater
import than one of feasting. Children are better
satisfied with good dinner than with anything
else but the grown-ups of the country, the fathers
and mothers and aunts and unces while providing
the necessary enjoyment for the little ones, should
be actuated by deeper motives than merely the
enjoyment of the good things: To them it is
given the privilege of bowling before our Lord and
humbly petitioning for continuance of the bless
ings which have been bestowed upon us and of
thanking our Lord for the blessings of the past.
Crops have been good, and though we have suf-
fered through financial panic, let us all bow our
heads and with contrite hearts beseech our Lord
and Master to guide us in paths of uprightness
that we may merit the continuation of the bless
ings which have been given to u.s. For in meriting
what we ask are sure of the fulfllment of the
promises of our Lord.

CHAINED, BUT NOT THE BIBLE.
(London Standard.)

The customs of old times are brought to mind
when one visits Breadsall Parish church. near Der
by. In this church is a set of chained books which
kept in old oak desk at the eastern end of the
north aisle The desk is a double one with hinged
lids which can be locked. One recess contains Bur

1879 and 1881, and the Works of Josephus" print

Franciscan priests who had volunteered their serv-

the colonists. After a fatiguing and harassing
march of many months, Onate and his followers
finally arrived at the pueblo of Puaray of the
