Plato or Socrates7

II Socrates Is conceded to rank as
the greater, or more influential Of the
two philosophers. it Is largely because
Of the devotion and ability Of Plato
his admirer and biographer. Accord.
ing to Platos "Apologia," Socrates was
really the supreme man of his age
foremost i4 originality and In thought
Plato,s great humanity-his uncon.
scious prophecy of Christianity was an
exhibition Of that-his application OF
philosophy not simply to morals in the
abstract but to a nation, or personal
ity, has won him great popularity in
all ages. and there are many who put
the Stagirite in the second place, and
consider Plato his exponent as the
greater, and more influential Of the
two. Really, 1t is wise not to attempt
comparison of these great Grecians
but to read thankfully what their wis
dom has given to the world.-Ex

FACTS THAT MUST BE
FACED NOW OR LATER

|. The British drink trade has de-
stroyed during the war sufficient food
to have supplied the entire British army
during that time 49,
.. If Great Britain had prohibited
drink in August, 1914, she would today
have had a surplus of food equal to
three months supply, instead of being
faced by near-famine.
3. The British drink trade has during
the war wasted shipping space equiva-
lent to one trip of 100000 tons.
4. The British drink trade has during
the war wasted labor equivalent to the
idleness for 100 days of the entire
United Kingdom.
5. The British drink trade has during
the war resulted in money waste
equivalent to the last gigantic British
loan of $1,000, 100000.
Lost millions, lost food, lost labor,
lost shipping space, lost men!
The vital question of the hour is:
Are we going to allow drink to do the
same thing to us?-Methodist Episcopal

Honey Earliest Sweet,

Until the beginning of the sixteenth
century honey was almost the only
sweet known and quite the only one
generally used, 1t being available with
out preparation. The Old Testament
refers to Palestine as "a land flowing
with milk and honey" synonyms for
richness and nourishment, and mutually
complimentary. Our pioneers located
"bee trees" and some Of us still re-
member the midnight journey to the
tree, which was felled and its treasure,
a mingled mass of splintered wood,
broken comb and dead bees, brought
home to be strained and the wax melt.
ed down. Modern beekeeping has en-.
tirely changed this crude proceeding,
and the up-to-date apiarist handles his
bees almost as freely as his chickens.

RAB1D COYOTES ATTACK -
... RANCHLAN

| Frank Lawler, a ranchman Of tbs
Hanksville country, rode in last week
and after receiving surgical aid here
for the bite of rabid coyote, he went
on to Salt Lake City to take the treat
ment that is being given to so many
persons who have been bitten by coy
otes in other parts of the state. This
is probably the first case Of rabies In
eastern Utah, although there are Il.
mors of other instances being circulatni
now.
Just a day or two ago f. T. Wei

succeeded in making good his escape
without being bitten, although he had
no gun.
The coyote that bit Lawler appeared
in his coral about O'Clock in the
morning and when he went out to SIC
what was disturbing his horses It
jumped into his face. He warded ~
the attack with his arm, but was hit
Ten on tne WrlSt. Inc dllinal L1s0R

Turner, who came to LAWYERS assis-

The men had been branding cattis
and the wound was cauterized with n
branding iron. Lawler then got ON a
horse and came as far as San Rafael
being brought on in to this city by j.

Previous to the biting of Lawler xu
other coyote came to his ranch and
fought with Bert Loper's dogs. It is
also reported that Ben Gibbons and Cor.

send Them CANDY
Officers Advice to Women Wish
ing to Aid Soldiers.
Suggestion Explained by Fact That
Men Need More Sweets Than They
Get in Their Rations.

Somebody asked someone in the
quartermaster's department what, she
could do to make life for the soldiers
at the front, wherever that might be,
more attractive.
'Do they need sweaters, or wrist
warmers, or what can I make them 2"
she queried.
Don't knit" said the man quoted.
Make them candy. They crave sugar
and they need sugar"
SO the young woman in question
promptly went to the nearest candy
shop and placed an order that pound
of candy be sent every other day to the
particular soldier in whom she was in.
terested.
Years ago, when the Boer war was
raging, Queen Victoria once celebrated
her birthday or some other festal day
by sending package of sweet choco-
late to every Tommy fighting in South
Africa. And some of her subjects stay
ing safely ut home said to themselves
and each other: "Why on earth Is the
queen sending sweet chocolate to men
who are giving their lives for US? Why
doesn't she send them something they
need?'
Today most of us have come to rec.
ognize the food value that lies in
sugar. We have learned that pure
candy. If 1t is eaten as a food, is
wholesome. 1t is harmful when 1t is
eaten between meals, and so spoils the
appetite. We know, too, that the more
hard physical work we do, the more
sugar we need. because it Is an easily
assimilated fuel food.
Hence today the quartermaster's
mandate that we send candy to the
front, although it ut first seems
strange, is easily understood. The ra.
tlOns Of the soldiers are carefully bal
anced, but still, many Of them, living
outdoors all the time, crave more
sweets than they can get, and are bene.
flied by them.
So add to your list another chance
to help the men at the fropt-and send
them candy.

In answer to question as to why
the troops on the ground when the
trouble developed did not use force to
put down the rioting, General Dickson
said the purpose for which the soldiers
were sent here had been gained without
firing shot and that wholesale blood,
shed would have been the result of any
firing on the part of the troops.
"Five hundred ringleaders of the
mob, am informed, are under arrest,

This was accomplished by surround.
