How to Keep Well in Winter

Do not let your blood get thin this
winter. For people who have a ten
dency toward anaemia, or bloodless
ness, winter is trying season. Lack
of exercise and fresh air, the more re-
stricted diet, many things combine to
lower the tone of the body and de-
plete the blood.
rs soon as you notice the tired feel
ing, lack of appetite and shortness OF
breath that are warning symptoms OF
thin blood take short treatment
with DR.. Williams Pink Pills. Do not
wait until the color has entirely left
your cheeks, until your lips are white
your eyes dull and your ears like
mother of pearl. 1t is SO much easier
to correct thinning of the blood in the
earlier stages than later.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills build ur
the blood and strengthen the nerves
In this way the general health is i'm
proved, the appetite increases, the di-
gestion is strengthened and new am
bition and energy developed. WorH
becomes easier because it does not
cause exhaustion.
Keep your system at its highest eff
ficiency with DR.. Williams Pink Pills
the great blood builder and nerve
tonic. Your own druggist can supply
you. A booklet Building Up the
Blood will be mailed free on request
by the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.

studying by all who do not enjoy COM

mer baseball is the favorite and games
are frequently played Saturday after
Moons between the Hill Farm boys and
the Valley Farm boys. The regular
holidays are observed in some special
manner with parties and entertain
ments for the children. Christmas
and Fourth of July are looked forward
to with much interest and anticipation
for several weeks beforehand.
Every Sunday, except through July
and August, the children attend Sun
day school in the morning Sunday
afternoons are usually spent out of
doors whenever the weather is pleas
ant.
The problem of securing and re-
tanning good employees, especially wom-
en- attendants. in institutions is ever
growing more difficult. Many good
and intelligent women apply for posi-
tons, but refuse to accept them when
they learn what the wages are and the
number of hourS which they must re-
main on duty. Others accept these
places, but leave in a short time, as
they can secure positions that pay them
better. In an institution of this kind
where every attendant comes in close
contact with the children, and there
fore has some influence upon their
character, it is of the utmost i'm
portance that the attendants should be
of an intelligent and high grade class
The only remedy for this condition, ii
seems to me. is to pay higher wages
and shorten the hours on duty, so that
these positions viii attract people of a
higher intelligence and character.
Cost of Maintenance.
The average weekly per capita cost
including all expenditures, is $3.50; the
average weekly per capita income from
all sources is S1.24; and the average
weekly per capita cost to the State for
the support of patients and mainte-
nance of property for the year, is $345

People are sometimes slow to recog-

UTAH BREAKS RECORD

The production of coal in Utah in 1913 was 3,254,S2S short tons with a value at the mines of $5,3S4,l27. ac- cordng to E. w. Parker, of the United States Geological Survey. In 1912, for the first time Utah's coal produc- ton exceeded 3,O0O,00O tons, the out put in that year amounting to 3,0l6,- l49short tons, valued at S5,046,4 d gain of more than half a million tons and of nearly $S00,000 over 1911. Nearly quarter million tons more was mined in 1913, with further in- crease in value. In 1912 the industry Suffered from a scarcity of labor due to the exodus of foreign miners to the scene of war in the Balkan States, but the returns for 1913 indicate plenti- ful supply of labor, as an increase of more than 800 men were employed in the coal mines compared with the pre- ceeding year.
 The increased production in 1913 appears tp nave peeiI uuS pIHlCipdlll to activity among the metalliferous mines and the smelters, as nearly all of the increased production was in the quantity of coal made into coke, this item alone indicating a gain of 225,- 561 short tons outof a total increase of 23S,679.
 Nearly 90 per cent of the total coal production in Utah is mined in Carbon county, which contains large part of the greatUinta Basin.
 The industry was practically free from labor troubles in 1913, only one company reporting idleness from this cause, and only five men being disaf- fected. No strikes of any kind were reported in 1912 and only one of three days in 1911. Practically all the mines of the state work eight hours day.
 According to the statistics collected by the United States Bureau of Mines there were F fatal accidents in the coal mines of Utah in 1913, decrease of one from 1912.

THE MOVIES

Among the latest get-rich-quick lines of business is the moving picture husiness. This like any other busi- noes however, depends on how you go ot it and under what circumstances. Simply to go into the moving picture h,s;nass with no chance of sharing in the profits of the film makers would amount to very little, but if some way can be devised whereby the real pro- ets of the business can be shared one noeds but to look in on the throngs that drift from first one picture show to another to realize that there is money in it for somebody. An AL banv policeman who happened to have q few hundred dollars ahead, invested if in a moving picture theatre on a small scale few years ago. He Is a millionaire now. Another millionaire many times over among the moving nicture operators was a cloth sponger in tailor shop a few years ago, and so the story goes. The same kinds of stories can be told however, of any business in which the public is inter ested. On the proper scale and with the proper management, why should not some of our agricultural pursuits be turned into money making schemes for thousands of people. The public is vtally interested in these things, and will be.

APPRECIATION OF A GOOD BOOK

Not long ago in an issue of liar per's Weekly was an account of an incident in the year 1854, when Boc- caccio presented to his friend Petrach copy of the St. Augustine's Com mentary on the Psalms" Upon re- ceipt of the valuable present Petrach wrote as follows
 Millions of books have been given as presents since that day and thou sands of them have been thoroughly enjoyed, but thousands of others have not been appreciated as they should have been. People in many in- stances receive with more or less in- difference a book as a present when really no more appropriate gift could be passed from one friend to another. At the time mentioned a good book was indeed rare gift. It meant a means of communication between one soul and another and an expression of the loftiest thoughts and ideals be- tween men. Minds are not made up so much by reading many books as they are by the enjoyment of few of the best books. Gift books are usually good and notwithstanding they are an old and very common form of gift there are few gifts that surpass them in point of excellence and service.

IGNORANCE AND DESPOTISM

Gen. Felix Diaz says that with the settlement of the land question, there will be an end to the trouble in Mex co That is only partially true. Sup pose it should give temporary relief. In only few years 1t is quite pro bable there would be a recurrance of a greater revolution than Mexico had hitherto known. The educational pro blem is quite as important in Mexico as the land question. The power of autocracH in any nation is always in exact ratio to the ignorance and con sequent jefcnselessness of the mass es. There is no exception to this law. When the school master enters the parent may as well prepare to with draw. When the millions among the ranks of illeteracy in Mexico have ac- cess to free schools and churches that country will be far nearer a solution of its great problem. When the in- telligent many federate to shape gov emment the ambitious, selfish few see the end of their existence.

Games and Their Origin

Tennis is undoubtedly the oldest of all existing ball games. It's origin is buried in antiquity, but it was played largely in Europe during the middle ages in the parks and ditches of fudal castles. The French learned the game from the Italians, the British from the French.
 Golf is popularly said to be Scot tish game, but there is good reason to suppose that in the first instance, it came from Holland. Cricket, how ever, is essentially all British. The first mention of the game is found in a thirteenth century manuscript, and it derives it's name from the Saxon word "cric," or "cryc" meaning "a staff"
 Billiards is believed to have been brought from the East by the Crusad- CTS; though some people say that the French developed it from an ancient German game. Chess however, which is the most intellectual of all games, is also the most ancient.-London An Swers.
