What About Brain Food?

differed widely.
The following facts, however, were quito

The Wedding Rlnq.

The little circlet Of gold, so dear
to a woman as the token Of the affec.

origin In very ancient times. Its very
shape, without beginning or end, Is
symbolic Of constancy and indicative
Of the true and lasting love which Is
the foundation Of happy union.

mean more than an ordinary gift Of
friendship with all nations, and so i'm.

Moslem Traditions.

Ramadan Is the month exalted by
Moslems above all others. In that
month the Koran-according to Mos.
lem tradition-was brought down by
Gabriel from heaven and delivered to
men in small sections. In that month,
Mohammed was accustomed to retire
from Mecca to the cave Of Hira, for
prayer and meditation. In that month
Abraham, Moses and other prophets
received their divine revelations. In
that month the doors Of heaven are

A very pretty idea for trimming a

color, as desired. Wall-of.troy border

layinu a Hem.

A housewife who makes her own
table linen and towels has hit on a
trick to lessen the labor. She adjusts
small hemmer and fine needle on
her sewing machine, removes the
thread from the upright and runs the
napkin or whatever 1t is, previously
cut by the drawn threads through
the hemmer. This simple method Of
turning the hem and pricking the
stitch holes makes the handwork very
easy. Running the cloth through the
machine, too. takes out the stiffness.

CORRECTING AN ERROR.

Ephraim had swept the floor and built

months and knew something about court
procedure. When he was arrested for the
purlOining of certain property belonging
to Major Harris and hailed before the

young attorney took the case as his first
appearance and proposed to defend his
client to the last ditch, if necessary.

when he began his defensive operations,

lonious abstraction of a chicken from the

SALT LAKE THEATRE.

Never before in his career as a popular
star has Robert Edeson been provided
with q role more entirely to mis- liking
than in his latest vehicle, "A Mans
Man, a new play of contemporaneous
American life, by Anna Steese Richardson
and Henry, Leslie Fridenberg' which
comes to this city for the first time at
the Salt Lake theatre tonight. "A Man $
q Man." the action of which is laid in
New York and in the capital OF western
state conspicuous in the public eye just al
present because of the elasticity Of It's
divorce laws, introduces Mr.. Edeson in
the role of g. wealthy young New Yorker
of good birth and social position, WhO'
practicing law as a hobby, is retained by
a rich mine owner to persuade western
legislature into the passage Of law tnat
will enable him to satisfy social amDl-
lions born of his sudden rise to wealth
and power. Because of the frank and
daring manner in which the play. deals
with legislative corruption and dishonest
divorce laws, "a Mans a Man" has
evoked considerable discussion in every
city In which it has been seen, and has
been pronounced by critics as one OF the
most admirable plays of recent seasons.

WILL OPEN A new
AUTOMOBILE LINE
BIG American Car to Be Run
Daily Between Here
and Brighton.

The big American touring car that is
to make the daily trips up Big Cotton

is the biggest and most powerful type sold
by the American factory, and during the
last few days of the show has been
feature.
The big car is of 60 horsepower, has six
cylinders and is capable of going faster
than anyone in Salt Lake would care to
ride. 1t is a roomy affair, and has a
seating capacity for seven passengers. 1t
is to be put into service as soon as the
roads between here and Brighton are
opened. Daily trips will be made on sched-
ule time, to be announced later.
At the first of the season the car will
be the only one in use between the two
points, but, as announced yesterday by
Mr. Gilmer, during the buster part of the
year two or three more of the big ma
chimes will be added to the line.
Heretofore the only means the people
and tourists of Salt Lake have had to
make the trip has been by team said
Mr., Gilmer. by that old fashioned way
1t has required the entire day for the
journey up and back, while by means Of
the American touring car the entire trip
can be made in few hours. 1t is planned
to have the car leave here about 10 o. clock

in the evening, thus giving the people
who make the visit plenty of time to en-

to be used during the first part of the
year, it is my intention to place two or
three more on the line, whenever BUSH
