schools, and the committee on teachers
and school work of the board of educa-
ton have issued a statement concern
ing the work of certain book agents
who, it is alleged, have been endeavor-
ing to sell their works by stating that
they are necessary for children in order
that they may succeed at school. The
statement in part is as follows:
The children of one school report
that some book agents have used such
statements as these: These books are

weeks TO ascertain if 1t was necessary to

Stomach Troubles.

Nine out of every ten people suffer
from Stomach Troubles, Sour Stomach.
Indigestion. Gastritis or Dyspepsia, and
many from more serious troubles which
started originally from one of the above
troubles. We should give our Stomach
more attention; it's a delicate piece of
machinery that needs oiling up occa-
sionally, especially the way most of us
abuse it. People are continually doc
toring for Stomach Troubles. There are
many remedies one can take, but the
simplest, and claimed to be the best,
is a mixture of three Simple ingredients
that you can get at any Drug Store.
They are inexpensive and can be mixed
at home.
Here they are: Compound Tincture
of Cinchona, one ounce; Prosene Com
pound, one ounce; and Sherry Wine,
half pint Mix and take a teaspOonful
in water before meals and at bed time.
The above mixture is now becoming
famous as the PrOsene Prescription for
Stomach Troubles. The Prosene Com
pound is of very high digestive power.
1t can be taken alone in three to five
drop doses in a little water, but pref
erably in the above mixture.

EsTRAY ANIMALS DEFINED
Attorney General Interprets Law
About Which There Has Been
Much Misunderstanding.

Much miscOnception, it appears, has
been prevalent with respect to the law
regarding estrays. The attorney gen.
eral has been requested to interpret
the laws respecting this matter by
Thomas w. O'Donnell, the county at
torney of Uinta, at Vernal. Major
Breeder gives this advice:
''You will notice that our statutes
provide that the constable in each pre-
cinct in this state is made pound
keeper, and section IA, Revised Statutes
of 1898, makes it his duty to take into
his possession all estrays running with
in his precinct and to dispose of the
same as provided by law; and also, he
shall, in person or by deputy, attend
all general roundups in his precinct and
take into his possession all estrays
found thereat, and dispose of the same
in the manner provided for the dis
posal Of estrays in other cases.
1.-The first paragraph of this section
makes it the duty of the poundkeeper
in each precinct to take into his pos
session and impound all estrays run
ming within his precinct, and dispose
of the same according to law. By the
terms of this section it becomes the
duty of the poundkeeper to go out and
bring IN all estrays found in his pre-
cinct, and for this purpose he may APP
point equities, with the consent of
the county commissioners, to assist him
in the discharge of this duty, and after
the proper notice for the statutory time
has been duly given, to dispose of all
such estTays and pay the proceeds. less
fees and costs. into the county treas
ury, as provided in section % Of this
chapter.
Chapter SO, Session Laws of 1903 de-
fines estrays, to wit; All horses, asses,
mules and meat cattle found running at
large, except sucking animals running
with their mothers and upon which
there is no brand, and all such animals
that are branded. the owner of which
can not, after a reasonable search, be
found, and which have been running al
large on any range within the state
for two years or more.
IF this law is complied with and the
owners of any branded animals taken
up as estrays are not found after rea-
good faith, such estrays may be sold
as provided by law and neither the
county nor the poundkeeper could be
held liable in damages to the original
owner of such animals. 1t is well, how
ever, to exercise care in gathering ami
mails from the public range to avoid
interfering with the right of the owners
of such animals. The pOundkeeper
should make reasonable search for the
owner of any branded animal taken up
under The estray law before the same
is offered for sale"

MARCH IN YEARS GONE BY
Record of the Month in the Weather
Line in the Past Compiled
Clearer Skies Promised.

What may be expected of the
weather man in March. which is the
month beginning today, may be gagged
to some degree at least by the expert
ence of the month for the last thirty
three years. During that time the mean
or normal temperature was IL; the
warmest month was in 1879, when the
average was AZ; the coolest March was
that of $780, when the average was "a;
the highest temperature was n de-
grees, on March 80, 1879, and the low
est was zero, on March 1. 1880. The
average precipitation. for the month was
2.04 inches, and the average number
of days when one-hundredth of an inch
or more fell was 10. The greatest
precipitation was 466 inches, in 1891,
and the least thirty three-One-hun-
dredths, in 1900 The greatest amount
of precipitation recorded in any TWEEN
ty-fOur hours was LII. on the Goth. In
1874, and on the 18th and 18th of last
year, The relative humidity was &c at
6 a. m. and SO at y. m. There was
an average number of nine clear days.
item partly cloudy and twelve cloudy
days. The prevailing wind was from
the southeast and the hourly velocity
was six miles. The highest velocity OF
the wind was sixty miles. from the
northwest, on March 13, 1906.
All of this information is given in
monthly bulletin issued by the
weather bureau, and in addition there
to il is set forth that the earliest date
on which killing frost occurred in au-
tumn was September %; the average
date of the first killing frost in au-
tumn, October IS: the average date on
which the last killing frost occurred,
April %, and the latest date June IS.
Having this data in mind it is easy
for every man to be his own weather
prophet.
Fridays prediction that there would
be rain or snow yesterday was at least
partly fulfilled. for the official record
shows that there was a total of one
hundredth of an inch of precipitation
during the twenty-four hours, and it
was even possible at times during the
early morning and the day to detect
q suspicion of a snowflake now and
again. But there wasn't anything APP
preaching what might be called real,
genuine rain or snow
The drop in the temperature was Is
degrees, the record for Friday having
been 50 and the maximum attained
yesterday having been only AZ. For
cold it touched freezing point yes
terday. the lowest being 81.
The outlook for today, according to
the forecaster, is for clearer. weather.
The meteorological report reads:

New York, Feb. 29.-In a fit of jeal-
Gus rage, Giuseppe Aniello crept up be-
hind his wife. who was fondling their
nine-months-Old badly in their home in
Elizabeth street early today, and killed
her almost instantly by firing a charge
of shot from a heavy fowling gun into
her body. Following the shooting AMI
clio himself was seriously beaten by the
brother-in-law of the dead woman, and
it is believed he will die. The brother
in-Iaw, Joseph Tuzza, is under deten-

OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to
Tremble.

The surgeons duties require clear
Judgment and a steady hand. A slip
or an unnecessary incision may do ir-
reparable damage to the patient.
When he found that coffee drinking
caused his hands to tremble, an Hi
nois surgeon conscientiously gave 1t up
and this is his story:
For years / was a coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down. my hands trembled so 1
could hardly write, and insomnia tor
tured me at night.
BESIDES, how could l safely perform
operations with unsteady hands. using
knives and instruments of precision?
When l saw plainly the bad effects of
coffee, I decided to stop 1t, and three
years ago l prepared some Postum, of
which l had received a sample.
THE first cupful surprised me. 1t
was mild, soothing, delicious. At this
time 1 gave some Postum to a friend
who was in a similar condition to mime
from the use of coffee.
"A few days later l met him and he
was full of praise for Postum, declaring
he would never return to coffee, but
stick to Postum. We then ordered a
full supply, and within short time my
nervousness and consequent trembling
az we'll as insomnia, disappeared. blood
circulation became normal, no dizziness
nor heat flashes.
my friend became a Postum enthu-
siast, his whole family using it exclu-
sively.
1T would be the fault of the one who
brewed the Postum, if II did not taste
good when served.
1.-The best food may be spoiled if not
properly made. Postum should be
boiled according to directions on the
package. Then it is all right, anyone
can rely on it. 1t ought to become the
national drink There's a Reason"

school, Gordon academy, Lehi High
school and Wasatch academy.
The girls of the kindergarten de-
partment of the university entertained
last evening in the kindergarten rooms
in the normal building. The party
was a leap year affair, and it proved
highly enjoyable. During the evening
the kindergarten girls introduced their
guests to many of the kindergarten
games and later dancing was the or
der. Refreshments were served in the
music room. The hall was decorated
in the primary colors and many cozy
corners were in evidence.
The students of the university will
give grand concert at the Salt Lake

will be given under the direction of
Squire Coop and Miss Edna Evans, and
they believe that there is enough tai

success. The program will consist of
vocal and instrumental numbers. A
chorus of fifty voices will be organ
lied and the glee club and university
choir will render selections.
The IT. club, which was organized
recently among the men who had won
their letter at the university in either

form conditions of heat and moisture.
On the proper handling of the beans
depends largely the quality of the pro-
duct.
In the manufacture of cocoa the
beans are screened, roasted. decorticated
and ground into cocoa. The nutritive
quality of cocoa is equal if not greater
than in any other food product. The
demand for cocoa in the United States
is increasing every year. The imports
of coffee are decreasing each year, and
the imports of cocoa increasing proper
tionately, indicating that cocoa is fast
becoming used as a substitute for cof-
fee. 1t is estimated that the amount of
cocoa drank in the United States an
Eually equals one cup every twelfth day
for every man, woman and child in the
country.
