FOR AID OF CHILDREN.

ii There is benefit affair on at the
Salt Lake theater tonight, given to
obtain means toward securing COM
fort for tho little ones under care of
that worthy Institution, the Orphans
Home and Day Nursery. and the cause
is one OF the most prnlseworthy of
the many charitable local enterprises
carried blythe community. The crec-
tion Of the new home for the little
inmates, in the southeastern part of
the city, has occasloned great ex-
pense, and many needs must still be
supplied before the institution can be
placed on its best practical footing.
These needs the local public Is asked
Ito help meet through patronage of
the splendid entertainment planned
to take place tonight. That the call
will be generously met can be con-
fldently predicted from past responses
made to similar appeals.

HOW THEY TALK.

In these days of political oratory one
would suppose that the people, would
obtain vast fund of valuable infor-
nation concerning the questions at ls-

short on information:

tanning the | Purity
of Blanchard
Butter

Aside from desire to live up to the principles
OF the Golden Rule and TO feel that only matter
Of justice and right to give our fellow men. as pure
product as we would want them to give u.s. there is
an additional reason why we insist upon making
BLANCHARD BUTTER absolutely pure. and keep
ing it SO.
That is a business reason.
We have won tho confidence OF our patrons by
doing everything within. power to deserve it
The result Of that wcl-earncd confidence has been
to build up business to the largest proportions Of
any creamery company i'll the internlontain country.
People believe in lis, because we use every pos
sibe precaution to protect them, and they buy our
products because they know them to be absolutely
pure.
And that knowledge on their part has been worth
a great deal to us as well as to them.
Our method Of gathering, testing and pastcur-
izing the cream, and making it into BLANCHARD
BUTTER under strictly sanitary conditions, costs
us vast sums OF money but we find that it is apprc
ciatcd by the public.

MANY CHILDREN. MING.

MANY CHILDREN. AILISG.
According to the Kansas City Star3of
the 18th inst. DR.. w. S. Wheeler. health
commissioner OF. the City Board 'of
Hospital and Health. OF Kansas City,
has prepared to be published Novem-
Der LIST. next in the second annual re-
port the following statement:
Out OF the 151s4 scholars-a little
over, one half Of the total enrolment OF
pupils attending the public schools In
that city who were examined by a
corps OF eight, competent physicians,
f9,431, or 56iper cent, were reported phys
ically or mentally detectives; divided as
follows:
Malnutrition. 1.15o; defective, eyes.
16s2: hypcrthropical tonsils, 1880; de-
5fective teeth. 16s2; adenoids, 1,64S;
mentally deficient, 1909. Total. 9.434.
The report states that the average
number OF pupils allotted to each one
of the eight physicians for examina-
ton being 1895, sufficient time could
not be given to make the inspection
thorough, but they felt themselves
Justified in recommending treatment
for this Sc per cent.
These are startling figures In all
probability examination III other cities
would disclose similar conditions. Per-
haps the most startling figure is that
which shows 1892 mentally deficient
children. out of the number examined
That is over s per cent
If the cause of this great percentage
of mental and physical deficiency in
children were searched for, 1t would
undoubtedly be found in the unnatural
living OF so many parents, and partic-
5uIarly their indulgence in the nerve
destroying narcotics. To this cause
can also be traced the mental break
downs that are altogether too numer-
Gus. Boys begin young to smoke and
use tobacco to excess. Soon they start
in drinking. Girls lace their bodies
and lnjure vital, delicate organs. They
drink coffee, or tea, or other narcotics.
Girls and boys stay UP at night and
wear themselves out prematurely. Many
indulge in vices and thereb:. add to
the havoc with their nervous system.
And then when they become fathers
and mothers, the children are not
strong Tho sins against the laws of
nature, which are the laws of God,
are ,.seenain the offspring. 1t is we'll
known that savage races among whom
yaElDk ipgssaAd other vices of civilization
F'ap' Ss 81 nttfSfh ctd, rapidly die off. That
'lawsis. just as operative among the civil
lied races Their vices destroy them.
The Increase OF insanity has been
sascrlbed Ito. the,sstrenuous life OF our
age. The nervous system. it has been
said, is unable to stand the strain, and
80 ours mental hospitals are being
filled up with men and women who
have lost their reason. More rest has
been recommended. But what we
need is less indulgence in narcotics and
moro temperance in all things. If the
drink and tobacco coffee and tea bills
of the nation could be reduced ma
tcrially there would be fewer ailing
children and fewer inmates Of insane
nsylums.'t. Whlskey and tobacco soaked
parents are not capable of bringing
forth physically and mentally strong
children. gl III

work was started so late it would be
difficult to secure tomato plants. We
have now about 200 girls and have
had to stop applications.
THE girls are, if there is time, ex-
pected to plant the seeds for toma-
toes, raise plants, and transplant
them, taking entire care of plants
till fruit is ripe. Then the Depart
ment of Agriculture will send can

girls how to can properly. After this
is done a market is found for the

and we hope our progressive farm

will be extended to all parts of the

girls clubs should not do as much
for them as the corn clubs have done
