THIS COMBINATION
 GENERALLY FATAL

A boy, match and gallon or so of gasoline, caused about $75 damage to a Ford automobile belonging tu a man named Gosgrove and called out the fire department at S:30 o'clock yesterday morning.
 The boy was filling the tank of the Ford, at the corner of Third and Ad- ans streets. when the match some how became ignited and found it's way to the street, landing head first in a long. thin streak of gasoline.
 Seeing trouble coming, the boy fled. The Ford didn't have the same chance, and in consequence, got it's upholstry scorched and burned in places. The tank. however. did not explode and therefore the damage was confined to inflamable parts.

THE WHITE FLOUR HABIT.

The effort of the food administration to save wheat
up against the old time habit of eating only white
bread AS everyone knows, white flour only part
of the wheat product The husk of the wheat which has
very nourishng elements is refined out During recent
years whole wheat preparations have gained enormously
in popularity but still white flour is popular with
the majority of people.
Years ago white flour considered even more of
decacy than now Corn and rye flour used as an
economy measure, but when people got up in the world
they felt they must have white bread Doctors used
that many poor people would buy the most expensive
white flour when rye and would have been better
for them physically at less expense.
So called graham flour popuarzed to a consider
able extent by Dr. Graham who introduced it health
measure, using the entire wheat husk and all. The
coarser substance promotes wholesome action of the in
testnes which in these days of office and shop work
people fail to get. The modern whole wheat fours use
more less of this valuable hsk There has been some
controversy among physicians to which type of flour
most healthfu but the weight of opinion is strongly
toward whole wheat though there some weak dges-
tons that can't take it.
People who have acquired the whole wheat habit great
lily prefer it, White flour seems relatively tasteless to
them. Using whole wheat is good economy measure
Anything that refnes out all the valuable husk and turns
it over to the lower animals is wasteful
Hotels and restaurants will find growing number OF
people who great deal better pleased with whole
wheat breads and great many be converted
their use It's good way to Cooperate with the govern
ment in measures.

WHO Is CHARLES WALDRON;

contest as to the identities Of the VI

characters are almost unmistakable
others are drawn from two or NOR
live sources into a logical combinatio
as required by the author; and sti
others will give the guessers mucJ
food for thought.
In the last mentioned class is TIL
principal william of the drama
Charles Waldron. He is pictured al

without scruples in his methods o.

On Teachers

Salt Lake, Aug. 27.-The state Of
Utah does not produce but half en-
ough teachers. according to DR.. e. G.
Gowans. state superintendent Of
schools. The state should contrib
ute its share of teachers to the
schools Of the country. for now we
have to depend upon the other states
to furnish teachers for our schools
and we do not send an equal quota
to them. We are not doing our share
in this work. yet we have excellent
facilities at our state normal school
at the University Of Utah to produce
leaders in the teaching profession.
Because OF the present war there
will be a great need for teachers in
the near future. Many teachers have
enlisted in military service. and the
schools will be handicapped. The
young men and women Of the state
should be far-sighted enough to see
this need and should train to meet 1t.
In speaking Of the advantages Of
taking the educational work at the
state university. DR.. Gowans said,
Those people intending to be teach
ers should attend the University OF
Utah. 1t is the head Of our educa-
tional system and offers the work as
outlined by the state board Of educa-
ton. Upon completion OF a course
one does not have to take any state
teachers examination but is entitled
to a certificate as he has more than
met the requirements for good
teacher"
The university has introduced sew.
eral new courses in the school Of edu,
cation this year, such as rural edu'
cation, junior high school work. and
has outlined the work in a clearer
manner placing more emphasis on the
teaching major subjects as well as all
Of the required work that has always
been presented.
