poultry products, butter and many food
commodities. As our lands come under the
great irrigation projects and plans for re-
clamation which are on foot, this importa-

Commercially Utah Is almost equally d.

who consume.
Take this valley and the district around
American Fork, for example. Within six
miles Of where you sit there are beds of
rock from which the finest quality OF
Portland cement may be ground, Within one
mile OF those beds there Is a power plant

the wheels Of a dozen plants Of the size

their fellow countryman's defense. Mr.
Macfarland has commenced a civil action
to collect the sum. Aralica ordered the
Austrians who raised the money for his

double murder has sent his father $500
When Judge Bstelle asked Araliea if nc

Clean and sanitary busting

When people, for the first time, see
me cleaning my rooms, they invariably
express surprise at my methods Of dust
ing; which, unlike the ordinary method,
l consider clean and sanitary.
Instead Of using the usual sort OF
duster, I use damp oloth-preferably
some soft stuff, such az piece Of an old
gauge undervest or worn napkin. The
cloth is soaked In tepid water, then
wrung absolutely dry-so dry that not
another drop of water can be wrung from
It. With cloth OF this sort the dust is
quickly lifted from woodwork and
furniture, without being scattered owl
the floor in the process. When the
duster is dirty 1t is washed out and again
wrung dry.
It is essential that the cloth be wrung
perfectly dry Is often as 1t Is put In
the water; otherwise It will streak the
furniture and leave damp surfaces to
catch more dust. This method of dust
ing Is employed In hospitals to prevent
the dust flying about, to be breatbed by
the patients, and 10 the sanitary method
OF busting the home - we'll.

them for top-covers. while they were

The Absurd Fashions In Shoes.

Time was when shoes were long at the
toe to yard lengths, tied to the garter,
tied to the girdle; even by stern fighting
men. Time was, again, when shoes were
wide at the toe, dubious, and slashed
sreely-patterned on the footgear OF q
equity king.
From the scant sandal to huge tub
topped sea boot they have wavered in
size; from the hardly visible slipper to
the towering Wellington they have alter
ed in height; in color and texture and
value they change continually, and In
the means of fastening, as we'll as the
whole scale of decoration, from diamond
buckles to copper toes. All this may be
endured, but it is asking too much OF a
patient world to have them change the
shape of our feet to fit the shoe.
Yet this is what is done to us relent.
lessly by those who decide for US what
shoes we shall wear. Why this should
be at all-why any man, woman, OF
group of either or both should be able to
dictate to free citizens the nature of their
personal apparel-is wonder enough

To Change the Atmosphere.

If the odors of cooking are unpleasant
in any room of the house, try the follow
ing, which has been found to act like a
charm:
Put in a bowl-shaped vessel about ten
cents worth of "salts," such as Is used
in "smelling salts" and cover, either
with alcohol or ammonia. Keep this
covered when not in use, as the liquid
evaporates. Such bowl put in q smoking
room or "den" will make the atmos-
phere breathable by absorbing or de-
stroying the odor OF smoke and tobacco.
One may cook onions or cabbage without
the unpleasantness, and the smoker need
not fear to sit in the "best room" and
smoke.

Some Novel Economy Hints.


Do not discard your long gloves when
the fingers are past further mending, for
here are some Of the uses to which they
can be put:
Cut the srmlets of your black suede
ones into round pieces the size of q coffee
cup at the top. About eight such pieces
fastened together In the middle with q
fancy button, make penwiper. One, let
it be added, that never scratches, nor
blunts the most delicate nibs.
Again, cut them to form little bags.
All around the opening little way from
the edge, pierce eyelet holes, through
which you can run q pretty cord or rib
bon, after which you will be provided
with the handiest little copper bag ever
invented.
Long kid ends of any color will make
button covers of an absolutely up-t0-
date kind; also binding for hats, coat
tufts, and collars. Nothing Is 80 fash
ionable as kid for these purposes. We
must not forget, too, that belts, pompons
and fringes are made by clever American
girls from gloves that, as such, can see
no further service.
The arms of long silk gloves make ex.
cellent undersleeves to an over-dress, aud
the wristlets of wooden ones warm NIT.
tens for frosty days.
Note this good use for stockings the
feet of which are beyond more faithful
darning: Select three and cut open at
the seam. Take one, and at its broadcast
end cut two slopes on the principle OF
shoulder seams. This makes the back
of a spencer. At their broader ends cut
also shoulder seams In the other Two
legs. Run and herring bone these seams,
80 that two stockings form fronts to the
one arranged for back. Leave spaces
for armholes, under which join again.
The narrow ends you will find provide
the tapering for the waistline. and the
material being supple, no further shap-
| ing is needed for covering the bust.
Scoop the neck little, however, and
overcast it with the blanket stitch with
mercerized silk.
On the under side of the fronts run
down strip of red flannel. This will
steady the edges for sewing on buttons
and working buttonholes.
1t is always good economy for your
toilet table to use strips of the same de-
scription as Duchess table requires. A
whole large toilet cover Is expensive a
buy, and expensive to launder. In ito
place provide the worn remains OF your
tablecloth. All the main part of this il
covered by your glass and glove boxes;
For the actual front, which is where all
wants to be dainty and fresh, make strips
of any odd pieces of muslin or linen
With lace borders or little frills attached,
even breadths taken from your Older
summer curtains, make all that is re.
quired.

cover, if you follow out the same idea
you will never return to the old arrange
ment, which is 80 difficult to keep spot
