LIST OF BOOKS is ANNOUNCED
FOR USE In PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF !.
UTAH DURING NEXT FIVE YEARS

A. c. Nelson, state superintendent of
PUBIC instruction. yesterday gave out the
list of books chosen for use in the
schools of Utah for the next five years,
adopted by the state textbook cOnven-
ton. which has been in session for the
past week.
The law requires that every five years
the superintendent of the various coun-
lies and the state superintendent shall
meet together to decide upon the books
Tor the succeeding fiVe-year period The
amount which will be spent on books du-
ring this time will approximate S250,0O9.
and there is of course considerable COM
petition among the various publishing
companies. Five years ago there was
more or less unfavorable comment on the
convention. but this year everything was
most harmonious and nearly every book
chosen was adopted by a unanimous vote
of the convention.
An effort was made to select as many
. as possible of the books now in use, so
as to avoid the expense of purchasing
copies of new works.
II do not see how there can be any
objection TO the convention awards. said
Superintendent Nelson yesterday. Every
work presented for our inspection was
fairly and impartially considered and | am
free TO say that the work of the cOnVen-
ton was most creditable.'
The following books were adopted;
Arithmetic.
Mines Progressive Arithmetic. Books l.

General Demand

of the Well Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
celIent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the northumberland by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Why Maple?
Why do we use Maple Syrup?

Why do we use Maple Syrup
Not mixture of cane syrup and maple, but
the pure Vermont maple. We boil it into the
wheat before taking.
The main reason is-the children. They like
the flavor of the maple better than anything else
that is good for them.
We are making food which we know to be
the best for them. Ism it WISE for all concerned,
to induce them to like it2
Mapl-Flake is the perfect food.
1t is so because of our process, consuming
96 hours. Because we spend six hours in steam
cooking. Because of our method of curing.
Because we toast the thin flakes, for 80 minutes,
in a heat of 400 degrees.
There are numerous wheat foods-numerous
faxed foods. But we spend four times the time
that some others spend in the preparing.
The result is, the starch is digestible
Raw starch gives scarcely more nourishment
than chalk Half-cooked starch yields half its
possible nourishment. But from Mapl. Flake
you get the benefit of every atom of food that
is in it.

Pos1oFFIcs AFFAIRS.
DuIlest Month of the Year Shows Good Volume of Business at Uncle
 sam's Local Headquarters.

The month of August, conceded to be the dullest of the entire year, brought to the El Centro postoffice a volume of business which was sur prising, considering the large number of people who were out of town and the surrounding country.
 For the month this office issued money orders to the amount of $3,240.- 33, they being 266 in number. During the same period the office paid 101 money orders, calling for $1,40S.O2
 Postage stamps to the amount of $290 were cancelled and $395 worth of stamps were sold. This makes a showing of $5,333.35 worth of business done through these sources in the To- cal postoffice during the dullest month and it is one which it is believed can not be exceeded by any other post office in Imperial Valley.

ANOTHER UToPlAN FAILURE
Failure Recalls Attempt to Provide InVaIids Free Quarters at In-
 dio Ended Last Fall.

The press dispatches this week bring word of the failure of N. O. Mel son, the St. Louis millionaire, to es- tablish his Utopian, colony at the lit tie town of Dublin, Indiana. The dis patches tell of the indifference of the community to Nelson's plans for it's improvement, and his final disgust with their lack of appreciation and his abandonment of the entire scheme.
 This will remind Imperial Valley readers of Nelson's philanthropic movement, several years ago, where in he established a health camp at Indio, over in the Coachella valley, for the use of sufferers of tuberculo- sis. He established an ideal outdoor camp, and advertised that the ser vices of the place were gratuitous to those unable to pay for them.
 For six years the camp was main tained, but year after year the imposi- tion of indigents who were looking for soft snap and who didn't care even to obey camp rules grew, until last fall Nelson in sheer disgust or dered the closing of the camp and the removal of every camper on the place. Lack of power to enforce regulations appeared to be the great drawback to practical working out of Nelson's S health camp project. However, in the course of eXistance of this camp many consumptives recovered their health, through the outdoor life in the dry, pure air and almost constant sun shine.

Engineer, gave an interesting talk on the plans for El CentrO's sewerage project. He has the plans in his office sent here from Olmstead & Gillelen of Los Angeles.
 MT. Pearson stated that these plans call for sewering of the district lying between the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Date Canal, Orange avenue and Railroad avenue, with an added district to connect the ice plant, creamery and laundry The septic tank is planned to be located on First street, and this will be of suf- ficlent capacity for a population of 4,000 people. Additional units at the septic tank can be added at the rate of $525 per unit, and each unit is ca pablo of taking care of the sewerage from 800 people. Flush tanks are to be located at the head of each lateral and on the alleys. The fall to the pro- posed sewer farm is sufficient for either sub-irrigation or surface irriga- tion.
 Report was made that the Chamber of Commerce at Heber had formulated letter to Senator Flint, similar to the one sent by the Ten Thousand Club, asking him to urge forward in every possible manner the issuing of Government titles to valley land.
