genius against the pest for which
Jersey has become noted throughout
the civilized world.
Mosquitoes do not bother Mr. Ed

approach and he is not poisoned by
reason OF having been fed upon by the
long-billed torments OF the New Jer-

REFUSE TO SELL BABY
KILLERS

Mention was made the other day
OF the fact that under the pure food
and drug law It is impossible to pre-
vent the manufacture and sale OF
soothing syrups containing poisonous
ingredients. which have very proper
" been denominated baby killers"
by one Of the government experts at
Washington.
Conscience has come 70 the rescue
in Philadelphia, where the Associa-
ton OF Retail Druggists has taken a
step in safeguarding the health Of in
fants and young children by refusing
TO sell soothing syrups. Similar ac-
ton Is said to be contemplated in
several other Pennsylvania cities and
in the national capital and Baltimore.
At a recent meeting the Philadelphia
Druggists association adopted these
resolutions:
We. the members OF the Philadelphia
Association OF Retail Druggists,
realizing the danger to public
health by the indiscriminate sale
and use OF habit-fOrming drugs,

class OF preparations included un-
der soothing syrups" and com
forters." designed for use for In
fants. also appreciating the ear
nest efforts Of the director OF the
department OF public health and
charities or Philadelphia TO limit
the sale and use OF these dan
Eerous preparations.
Resolved. That the members or the
Philadelphia Association Of Re
tail Druggists discourage the
sale, unless ordered by a physi-
clan on prescription. or any pro-
prietary or patent preparation
containing these habit-froming
drugs. and also
Resolved. That this association COM
mend Dr. Joseph s. Neff director
or the department OF public
health and charities. for his
earnest efforts 10 prevent this in
discriminate sale and use Of such
dangerous preparations. and that
the members OF this association
give TO the department every pos
sible aid and encouragement IN
this excellent work.
In the absence OF a stringent law
on the subject the action OF the Phiia-

GOOD NEWs FOR UTAHl

The decision by Frank Pierce. acting
secretary OF the Interior. that home
steader under the Smoot enlarged
homestead act can take up land, COM
ply with the provisions OF the law. and
stu mainta n his residence reasonably
near the land. will mean the develop
nent Of hundreds OF thousands Of
acres Of land IN Utah that would have
lain practically worthless.
Senator SmOot. the author OF the
act, wrote 30 Mr.. Pierce some months
ago ar the result OF a number Of let
tiers tho Senator had received from
persons living in Utah, mostly from
salt Lake and ogden. as most OF the
entries FOR land under Tire act have
come from persons living N these two
cities. They all desired 20 know
whefH n they would have 60 live on
the or whether they could COM
ply wit provisions OF the act and
retain IA s,r homes I'm salt Lake OF
ogden or Provo. as the case might be.
The act requires that the home
steader farm the land c. that 70 be
cultivated under his personal direc-
ton Many Of them felt that they
could do 80 and not necessarily ac-
tuauy take up residence upon the
land. Therefore. they asked Senator
smoot to take up the matter with the
interior department. which ne did W.
J.. Roberts OF salt Lake. VINO had
taken up land under the smoot act.
wrote 70 the Utah senator, and asked
whether nc could comply with the
prov sions OF the act and still live in
salt Lake.
Senator smoot enclosed this letter
in his own communication TO the sec
rotary Of the interior. and this i'm
portant decision IS the result OF this.
and Is made public in the letter 20
senator Smoot. The secretary decides
that. e. one can farm the land taken
up. or can have e farmed under his
own personal direction. this will COM
ply with the provisions Of the act. and
the comfortable home In the capital
city or the larger towns OF the state
need not be abandoned.
The effect OF this upon the develop
ment or Utah can easily be imagined
There will be a rush to take up thou

thousands u acres OF dry farm land

would have otherwise lain worthless

INFLUENCE OF THE MOTHER
Well to Remember That She is Ever
Model of Behavior to the
Children.

1t is hard for a young mother, who
has not yet overcome the hayward
tendencies of her own youthful nature,
to realize the influence she exerts
over her little one. She is constantly
surrounded by critical imitators who
copy her morals and manners.
AS the mother is, so are her sons
and daughters. If family of children
are blessed with an intelligent moth
err, who is dainty and refined In her
manner, and does not consider 1t nee
essary to be one woman in the draw
ing room and an entirely different per
son in her everyday life. but who is a
true mother and always tender,
charming woman, she will invariably
see her habits OF speech and perfect
manners repeated in her children.
Great, rough men and noisy, busy
boys will always tone down their
voices and step quietly and try to be
more mannerly when she stops to
give them kind word and pleasant
smile. For a true woman will never
fail to say and do all the kind, pleas
ant things she can that will In any
way help to lift up and cheer those
whose lives are shaded with care and
toll. The mother of today rules the
world of tomorrow.

I'VE renew our faith in and express

WAGES for Prisoners Advocated.

Payment of prisoners according to
their industry TO insure protection for
their families and their own rehabili-
tation on release was recommended to
the international prison congress in
session at Washington, by the section
on preventive means" The resolu-
ton provoked heated discussion in
the congress, not because the princi-
pie of caring for prisoners families
was opposed, but because IL was not
so worded as to fit adoption in sew
eral countries. including the United
States, where prisoners are unable
under existing law to earn ANYTHING.
