The Baby Mysteries.
Where did you come from. baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into here.
Where did you get your eyes of blue?
Out of the sky as l came through.
What makes the light in them sparkle
and spin?
Some of the starry spikes left in.
Where did you get that little tear?
l found it waiting when I got here.
What makes your forehead so smooth
and high?
A soft hand stroked it as 1 went by.
What makes your cheeks like a warm
white rose?
I saw something better than any one
knows.
Whence that three-cornered smile of
bliss?
Three angels gave me at once a kiss.
Where did you get this pearly ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear
Where did you get these arms and
hands?
Love made itself into hooks and
bands.
Feet, whence did you come, you darl-
ing things?
From the same box as the cherubs
wings.
How did they ali just come to be you?
God thought about me, and so l grew.
But how did you come to us, you
dear?
God thought about you, and so l am
here.

Thistle Notes.

Charles Greer Of Lake Shore has
located some land short distance
above here under the Dry Land Act.
He has fenced in about 200 acres and
put in several acres of fall wheat, and
is now hauling up material to build a
house. Several locations were also
made last spring on Billy's Mountain
by parties from Spanish Fork and
Mapleton.
The stock in the mountains is in an
excellent condition; some of the ranch
ers, however, had considerable hay
spoiled by the late rains.
The health of the people up here is
good.
Some of the engineers running helper
engines from here to the Soldier Sum
nit earn as much as three hundred
dollars month. They work their way
up by beginning in the round house at
81. 70 per day. What has been done,
can be done.

DAILY DIET HINTS
BY DR. T. j. ALLEN
Food Specialist.
BABE AND MOTHER.

Babes are usually overfed.
overclothed, ard not given
enough water, especially in hot
weather. Cows milk, reason
ably free from contamination,
not boiled, and not even pas
teurized, is the hes. substitute
for the natural food, if goats
milk is not available, ard If
the milk 10 "nodified" so as to
reduce the excess Of sl5umcn.
II is not necessary that baby
be very fat in order 10 be
healthy. Il does not cry from
hunger only; it needs little
water, at body heat, swectencd
slightly with milk sugar, occa-
sionally. A little pure, fresh
made buttermiIk, 20 per cent,
occasionally. In water, sweet
ened, is good, especially In in
testinai disturbance. Freedom,
for limb movement should be
Tliowed, and for crawling when
the time arrives. Nothing Is
gained by early walking; injury
may result. The mothers state,
mental and physical, directly af-
fects the infant. Her food
should be carefully chosen,
avoiding meat, indiscriminate
mixing, hot and cold food, tea
and coffee. Entire wheat, nuts
milk are good for mothers. Ex-
element, and especially anger,
should be avoided. Fruit juices
are good after six months. A
quarter charcoal tablet In water,
three times daily, is good.

OFFICERS ARE POISONED
SAMPLES OF PILLS CONTAIN, DEAD
 LY DRUG.
Young Captains Recently Promoted In Vienna Are Victims of Attempt At Wholesale Possonfng--
 Motive Unknown

Vienna Nov. 2i.--An extraordinary attempt at wholesale poisoning among military officers here has caused a sensation. A. large number of officers, just promoted to be captains In the general stan. have received through the mails sample boxes of pills. These were accompanied by circular which recommends them for nervous debility. One of the officers. Captain Nader, took some of the pills. and died almost in- stantly. An autopsy revealed the pres- snce of cyanide of potassium. and that death had been caused by this poison.
 A further investigation shows that ali the pills contained cyanide. of potas- sium in large quantities. and also that many of the first iieutenants attach ed to the stan but not promoted, had not received pills. The circulars were signed e"Charles Francis and bore . false address.
 All attempts so far to unravel the mystery have failed. and It is suggest cd that the poison may have been sent out by some disappointed off1eer. or that the poisoning Is an anarchist out rage.
