Tho Peculiar Sand Fly.

The sand fly ls perfectly harmless. It does not bite. It has no sting It cannot even eat. All it can do is to fiji about for few hours. enjoy the light of day or the glare of an electric hmp. The sand fly is known to scien- tists familiarity as the May fly. In sci enti6c terms it is called ephemerida This name is taken from the Greek word ephemeros. which means lasting only for day. To the scientists the sand fly is one of the most interesting and beautiful of insects. The fly lives but a day at most. but before it sees tbe light it has lived from one to three years under the water in the form of what the scientists call nymph. The pvmph can both walk and swim. As fl grows It molts. and after about the ninth mott tiny wings appear on its tborax These grow larger until the insect comes forth from the water sand fly It then has but one duty-te lay its eggs. This done the sand fly ziezags through the air until its brief life is ended.

Will Probe Tele-
phone Question
Continued from Page 2.

81 regret that business engage
ment made prior to your invitation to
meet the Utah Development league on
June 2s in this city prevents me from
doing SO.
Il feel the Importance of that meet
ing and the bearing it will have up
on the future of our company in its
efforts to maintain friendly relations
with the community while we are try
ing to adjust rates as to enable each
town in Utah to pay its own way.
For that reason I wish to say few
words in explanation of our position
on the rate question.
"The position of the Rocky Noun
tain Bell Telephone company in refer
ence to rates is very simple one. 1t
is a question of so much revenue, so
much expense, the revenue being just
enough greater than the expense to
take care of the depreciation and pay
seven per cent on the investment. The
rates in every town in which they
have been adjusted have been figured
on this basis, and are, we believe, just
to both the public and the company.
Fats Carry the Leans.
"In the development stage of any
enterprise of the character of the
company / have the honor to repre-
sent 1t has been the accepted custom
in the interest of extension of service
to make the "fat" localities carry the
lean" localities. While this sort Of
procedure is accepted generally by the
public as a good policy in the 10
building of useful public utility, ca
pable of giving service that reaches
out everywhere to the ranches and
lonely mining camps, the time invar
iably comes when the law Of diminish
ing returns demands that better ant

for supremacy in Utah is known TO
all, even to the financial loss that
has attended the efforts of both COM
panies to keep their heads above wa

Under the circumstances that there

saying nothing OF paying for the use
of money we borrowed from the peo-
pie to build up our plants to their
present state of usefulness.
81 sincerely believe that the tele-
phone question will not be treated by
your league in any other way than
Justly and fairly That is all that is
asked so far as our company is con.
cerned.
1T is our aim to give the people of
Utah a better and a more up-to-date
service, and it is not our aim to give
our patrons the worst of it. As has
already been stated, our engineers in
form us that a general raise of rates
will not be necessary to provide an
| income sufficient to meet our payroll,
properly maintain our plant and to
, pay interest to those who have given
us the use of their money to build
the plant.
Must Adjust Some Rates.
"In some localities it will be ne
cessary, in order to do justice to all
users of the telephone, to adjust some
rates, but when changes have beer
made every user of the telephone may
rest assured that he is paying for his
own telephone and is not being cal
led upon by reason of some generally
unknown condition to help pay for the
use of telephone in different local
ity.

RATION FOR THE BROOD sow
Hog Breeder Tells How He Obtains
Satisfactory Results-Feed 10
increased In Winter.

The following ration for brood
sows has given as good results as /
could ask for, says a writer In the
Breeders Gazette. While 1t might
not prove to be the best under all
conditions. II has given very salts
factory results under my conditions.
Four Of my sows were purchased
when seven months Of age, then
weighing $50 pounds apiece. They
were kept another month, then bred.
Now they are II months old, have
narrowed their second ltters and will
weigh from 300 to 400 pounds in
good, thrifty breeding condition.
They have been fed somewhat near
the following each day per head in
addition to whatever they pick up in
Is acres OF woods pasture, a. portion
of which contains a good stand Of
bluegrass and white clover: Shelled
corn, four pounds: shorts, one pound;
bran, six pounds; tankage, one
fourth pound. During the winter
months, when the weather is cold
and the ground bare. the amount Of
feed is increased as II is also when
the filters become large enough to
take all of the milk that the SOW can
supply. Just a few days before the
sows are due to farrow | add hand
full of oil meal per SOW to their feed
each day, which relieves any ten
dency toward constipation and causes
the pigs to arrive in good shape.
Cracklings would answer the same
purpose.

II discovered long ago that the very
bulklness Of the ordinary diet was not
calculated to give one a clear head,
the power Of sustained, accurate think
ing. l always felt heavy and sluggish
In mind as well as body after eating

blood from the brain to the digestive
apparatus.
Il tried foods easy Of digestion, but
found them usually deficient In nutri-
ment. / experimental with many break
fast foods and they. too, proved un-
satisfactory, TIL reached Grape-Nuts.
And then the problem was solved.
'Grape-Nuts agreed with me per-
fectly from the beginning, satisfying
my hunger and supplying the nutri-
ment that so many other prepared
foods lack.
Il had not been using It very long
before | found that was turning out
an unusual quantity and quality Of
work. Continued use has demonstrate
ed to my entire satisfaction that
