Office in Federal Building.

Postmaster Thomas. after losing
much sleep and working the gray mat

has finally hit upon the finest sort OF
a scheme not only to relieve his over
worked employees In the federal building
but also to afford splendid accommo-
dalton to citizens generally who have
relatives, friends, and sweethearts in
other communities than Salt Lake.
The fact of the matter is that the
postofIice department. In common with
all others in the country during the
holiday season. is having troubles of It's
own. A number OF additional clerks
and carriers have been added, through
the efforts OF the postmaster but even
with an Increased force they are unable
TO withstand the onslaught of a fast
growing and very prosperous popula-
ton. Everybody seems to want to send
away money, or Its equivalent which
Uncle Sam UNDERWRITERS. Therefore the
overwork of the postmaster.
This morning Gov. Thomas was all
smiles He was down Before his usual
office hours and the stenographer had
hard morning. When the star session
adjourned there were copies on hand
which designated just where the pa
irons of the Salt Lake postofTice could
obtain money orders and registered let

people in the city. This work over
which the postmaster has been losing

Enough Sleep for Children.

Jean Williams, M. D., who is conducting a department of advice to mothers for Woman's Home Companion, says in the October is- sue.
 Let me say a few words to the mothers who forget that their grow ing children need long sleeping hours. in order that healthy growth shall be continued and a well or ganized nervous system become es- abolished. It is especially import ant that good judgment shall be ex- ercised during puberty. Great physical demands are made at this period. and the wise mother makes every effort to avoid for her child ren unnecessary dissipation of en- ergy.
 It is not easy to state definitely the number of hours of sleep re- quired, as there are individual re- quirements that will materially modify any rules; still we may safely say that in the great major ity of cases after early infancy, when the normal child sleeps most of the time, at least twelve out of the twenty-four hours should be spent in sleep. Until SIX years of age the daily nap should be added to this. The twelve hours of sleep should continue until the tenth year. and longer if the child is del- icate or of especially sensitive ner- vous organization. From ten to f0ureen years, ten hours of sleep are usually required. and often 1 twelve would be advantageous; :; from fourteen until full maturity the sleeping-hours are, as a rule, more irregular than at any other period of life, and then the effort must be made to compensate for the short hours by longer indul. gence when opportunity offers. re- membering that few have the en- durance to cope with the complexi . ties of modern fife and thrive on less sleep than a daily average of eight hours

More Than Enough Is Too Much.

To maintain health, a mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste and supp ply energy and body heat. The habitual consumption of more food than is necessary for these pur- poses is the prime cause of stom- ach troubles, rheumatism and dis orders of the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion, revise your diet, let reason and not appetite control and take few doses of Chamber lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and you will soon be all right again. For sale by all dealers.

FIFTH TERRITORIAL FAIR
Bigger and Better Than Ever is The Press Agents Promise More Races Than Ever Started West of Chicago.

At meeting of the Territorial Fair Commission just concluded at Phoenix the final touches were put on the preparations for the Fifth Territorial Fair which will be this year held the second week in No vember the 8th. to the l4th. Big ger and better that ever before, isl the promise the commission is giv- ing and there seems to be facts to bear them out.
 In all the live stock departments the premiums have been increased 20 per cent. in the poultry show the premiums have been just doubled, and a new show, dog show, has been added to the list of attractions. In addition to this, the premium list has been increased by the addition of several new classes, it being the desire of the commission to offer every induce ment for the exhibition of fancy and thoroughbred stock by citizens of the territory. That they have planned wisely. is testified to by the many inquiries already received by the secretary.
 Naturally great interest centers about the racing program and probably it is enough to say that this year at Phoenix there will be more horses start in the harness events than ever before raced at any meeting held west of Chicago. Mir. J. c. Adams, the president of the Fair Commission, spent several weeks in the east this summer in- teresting the grand circuit racers to pay Phoenix a visit and as in most
 
 of his undertakings. he was success ful. The great Arizona Copper Stake race which prize was sub scribed by Arizonians, will be run in two parts. a S50O0 purse for 2:08 pacers and a $50OO purse for 2:l9 trotters. It is likely if all of the horses entered, decide to start. that each of the events will have to be started in two divisions. Each day there will be two jockey races for which there are many entries.
 One afternoon will be devoted to automobile racing, the prize event being a one-hundred mile race around the circular track for a purse of 5000. The drivers of the cars will some of the most noted scorchers of the west, and the cars the fastest. In front of the grand
 
 stand on automobile day the great Los Angeles to Phoenix automobile road race will finish and the prize of $500 awarded.
 Fire works will be given one night on the fair grounds and the spectacular production of last year will be far surpassed. One of the set pieces will be a battle at sea in which fort is attacked by fleet, the picture lasting in all. half ar hour.
 Residents of Flagstaff and Coco. nino county, according to Phoenix papers, will be made welcome at Phoenix Fair week. The Fair Com mission has arranged a wonderful display of Arizona's mineral. in- dustrial and agricultural wealth, Phoenix citizens will add to this g hearty welcome to all fair visitors At this early date there are many local residents planning to make the trip and spend the second week in November at the Fair.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE.

Yesterday morning the Rev. C. Sid ney Maddox and Bob Keane drove down to the river for mistletoe. and other greens for the church decorations for the evening entertainment. On their way home while near the Van Meter place west of town. they were driving along the bank of the river. where the road has sunk several feet. owing to the washout of the bank. Suddenly the bank caved in again. the horse and rig five or six feet against a tree. The shock threw MT. Maddox out under the horses hoofs. and when he recovered con- sciousness. for the fall stunned him for the minute. his head was lying direct ly between the animals hind feet.
 The horse had either kicked him or he hit something in his fall for there is an ugly bruise just above his temple Bob keane was thrown out over the front wheel, and landed on his knees, scraping all the skin off in his descent He was also bruised, and both of the men are stiff and sore from the experi- ence. The horse was not injured. but the shafts of the buggy were broken. and the dashboard was flattened out almost straight

Yesterdav was great day for the little tots in the grammar schools. It had been decided not to make much of the holidays in school this year, at a meeting of the teachers early in the season. but the younger pupils appear cd so disappointed that their teachers made some little preparation.

Miss Rock and Miss Dobbie made no especial preparations, and Prof. B. NJ. Jones children had an in- formal afternoon.

They rendered a fine little program. but were thoroughly surprised when their teacher presented them with lit- tie penwipers. with each ones name painted on the back. over at the High school the two societies combined in an entertaining program and debate, although it was not over in time to get the results for this issue of The Republican.
