EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is try

tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert

trial of strength, and when it Is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
Of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The uneXplainable thing is
that. with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am

FORT DOUGLAS.

Prominent business men of Salt Lake
and the Commercial club deserve COM
mendation and support for seeking to
make Fort Douglas brigade post In
asmucb as the location is one of the
most ideal in the United States for a
brigade post, only lethargy on the part
of our citizens could lead to the aban.
donment of Fort Douglas. 1t Is not
likely that the war department Will
fail TO appreciate the importance Of
Fort Douglas now that the com.
mittee has actively undertaken
to keep the department fully
enlightened Those who have studied
the merits Of Fort Douglas can see
only two motives why the war depart
ment should fail to make it a brigade
post-unfamiiarity with the post g
value or political agitation in favor of
less advantageous posts. We do not
believe that the war department will
be influenced by politics and the Salt
Lake business men and Adjutant Gen.
eral Wedgwood will see to it that the
department becomes thoroughly ac.
quainted with every argument in favor
Of Fort Douglas
Additional strength will be given to
the committee s work by Adjntant Gen
eral Wedgwood s discovery Of a maneu-
yer field within days march of Salt

SUBSTITUTE FOR LEATHER

Shoe manufacturers and Joobers re
Gently appeared before the house com.
mittee on interstate and foreign com.
merce and protested against the en-
actment OF the proposed pure fabric
law. They pointed out to the commit
tee that the stiffening used in making
the foundation for the toe and heel of
a shoe Is not composed Of leather, as
most persons suppose,
Then they gave one Of tho secrets Of
the trade away by admitting that II
was composed of hemp, glue and paper,
In making their protest they declared
that If the manufacturers were COM
PEELED to place n pure fabric label in
shoes the misapprehension OF the buy
ing public would decrease the sales
of the manufacturers, jobbers and re-
tailers, and that ultimately the public
would suffer. The argument does not
appear to be sound
II some of the manufacturers used
leather and the pure fabric label the
public would get its moneys worth,
and II all the manufacturers used the
mixture the public would be compelled
to buy their shoes or go barefoot. Ger
tain manufacturers might lose, but the
public couldn't possibly be any worse
off than it is at present.
Tt is probable, however, that the mix
ture does not lower the wearing quail
ity of the shoes or the manufacturers
would not so readily make known its
use. If it is just as good as leather
for the purpose for which it is used,
the public should be informed of the
fact. If it ism t as good, that fact
should also be made known. Entire
frankness in the matter would pay.
This mixture for the heel and toe
foundation, whether it affects tho quail
ity Of the shoe or not, is not to be
compared with the practice, exposed in
a government bulletin about three
years ago, of treating sole leather with
metallic mixture for the purpose of
making it weigh more. Sole leather
is sold by weight and its value is
greatly increased by the metallic mix
ture. 1t is unnecessary to state that
this mixture melts when it comes in
contact with water and the shoe in
which it is used soon goes to pieces.
Probably less Of this stuff is used
than formerly owing to the publicity
given the practice by the publication
of the government trade bulletin.
There is some uncertainty as to the
passage Of the pure fabric law, but the
food and drug men favor it nightly,
on the ground, perhaps, that misery
loves company.

producing country in the world. After
the first discovery Of carnotite ore IN
the Paradox valley, southwestern Colo.
rado, and the finding of a small amount
of pitchblende in Gilpin county of the
same state, explorations have been
conducted IN the most active manner.
Quite few companies have been
formed and hundreds Of claims have
been secured in Montrose county, San
Miguel and Dolores, In which are ad
mittedly situated the richest radium
ore bearing deposits. Only few days
ago il was reported that two eastern
capitalists, ons from Baltimore and the
other from New York city, had Sc
cured twenty five claims OF carnotite
ore lands aud would begin operations
Immediately for the extraction of ra-
dium. 1t is also said that member
of the Dupont family of Wilmington,
Del, has acquired other claims in that
region, which, it is estimated, contain
about 1000 tons Of carnotite ore.
The most important mining opera
tions for radium ore values, that we
know Of, are those carried on by the
Standard Chemical company Of this
city. This concern, II u said, owns
over 100 claims, covering an area of
over 1000 acres of land, which have
been reported 10 contain 100000
pounds of radium ore, This amount
scienllIlcaIy eStimated Is the equlSa'
lent OF 900 grams OF radium, or about
four pounds OF pure radium bromide.
At the present market price this repre-
sents sf35, 900. The local company
has had the advantage OF having been
in the field as pioneer, besides pos
sessing secret prosess OF refining the
ore, which is claimed to be far ahead
of anything in Europe.

therapeutics very little is known and
much less understood in this country
ID Europe, where radium was first dis
covered, its applications in medicine
were begun in 1902, and the experience
which the European medical profession
has gained during that time has made
radium treatment familiar to them. 1t
will take time for the medical profes-
sion in this country. which, as everyone
knows, is inherently conservative, to
take advantage Of the lessons OF Euro.
pean practice. Once, however, radium
treatment bas gained foothold here,
1t will extend IN manner so as to
make ITS present European popularity
seem insignificant. When that condi.
ton arises, it viii be found regrettable
that in the meantime we have allowed
so much of this precious element to go
abroad, because If we shall be compelled
to buy il back from Europe what we
sold there originally, we shall certainly
have to pay for it very dearly"
