Arriving at Duchesne, we filed up

Enter Yellowstone Park.

We entered the park July 5, feeling

with what was unfolded to us here.

wonders we saw. The park bounda-

After five days of these wonders we
left the park by the eastern en-

grandeur are beyond description all

about per cent grade over an old
railroad bed.
After reaching this point the de-
scent is made and for fifteen miles
into the town of Red Cliff the pano-
ramic views are beyond any descrip-
ton. After leaving Red Cliff the can
yon becomes too narrow for the High
way River railroad. so the machine
must climb over Battle mountain, five
miles. This road is very good most
of the way and wide enough on the
turns for two cars to pass, which
helps some. Arriving at the top, you
enter the town of Gilman, which is
hewed out of the mountains, and the
houses are literally glued to the sides

Beginning of the Descent.
Now starts the descent into the val
ley below, where we again follow the
river through the Eagle valley. which
am told is one of the most produc-
tive agricultural sections of Colorado.
After drive of about forty miles
through this valley we entered the
Canyon of the Grand, and again you
wonder why all of the beautiful
scenery is placed in one section of
this great country, and why people
go to Europe for scenery, when there
are these wonders at home. Once
again you see the good roads brought
about through the work of the Col
orado prison honor system. 1t is in
this canyon that you think of the
Potomac river, and the great power
that is going to waste. One look at
the Shoshone intake and the power
plant of the central Colorado plant,
and you ask what is wrong with
Washington city. Here the Grand
river is taped and carried through a
tunnel in mountains a distance of
three miles and dropped over turbine
wheels, which grind out electric
power for all that section of Col
orado. Now we enter Glenwood

Land For Soldiers.

3ocretary Lane has already sent
to III the governors the draft of an
act which he asks them, if it meets
tneir approval, to submit to the leg
isla.ures. 1t provides for co-opera-
tion between the states and the
United States to provide employ
ment and homes for soldiers, sail
or and marines. - ON the general
principle that the states shall fur
nish the lands and the United States
the funds" Ia detail, alternative
plans are suggested According
to one, the state should find the
land-presumably, waste or unused
land if possible-and the nation
should provide all the money for
reclamation. subdivision, improve
ments and equipment. perform the
necessary work and settle the sold
iers on the land. According to the
other. the state is to pay one-fourth
of the total investment represented
by the land as made ready for the
soldier. and should itself then have
the option of performing the work
and settling the soldiers. Secretary
Lane contemplates the granting of
Federal loans not te exceed $4,000
to soldier settler by the nation
through the states. The plan may
seem incomplete, but it is we'll that
beginning il made.-N. Y. Post.

HEALTH TALKS.
By the County Health Officer

Il NEVER grow weary of advising
Il anxious mothers about their lit
tie ones. how to keep them we'll is
my pet theme, but this time | shall
discuss sick babies for little while:
Babies under a year old often die
from some trouble with digestion.
The way it commonly shows itself
il in the movements of the babies
bowels. A healthy baby will have
from one TO four movements a day.
The stools will be yellowish and
formed. When the baby Is sick it
will have too many movements, the
stools will become thin and green
ish and have curds, pact or slime in
them. When the baby seems sick
in this way, stop all food except
water or barley water 1t is always
safe to give teaspOOnful of fresh
castor oil. Babies like the oil and
take it easily. The oil cannot do
the baby harm. Soothing syrups
and patent medicines of all kinds
may have things in them that will
disagree with the baby and make it
very sick, perhaps even poison it..
Do not use them. Use no medicine
except castor oil without the doc
tors advice. lit Is very important
to know IA quickly as possible that
when the baby is sick. Many sick
nesses would not have become Sc
rious if the mother had known soon
enough that the baby was sick. The
diarrhoea and the child's actions
and looks will soon tell the mother.
A sick child is not inclined to smile,
its eyes look dull and heavy, it is
restless and cross and does not sleep
well and is peevish.
collie
The position of child with collie
is characteristic. 1t lies with its
knees drawn up and the thighs tiex-
ed on the abdomen. Collie Is due
to gas in the bowels caused by in
digestion. The object of treatment
is to help the baby to expel the gas,
quiet the pain and cure the indiges-
ton. Gas may be expelled by gen.
tie massage, placing one hand on
the right side of the abdomen. pass
ing the hand slowly straight across
from right to left and down on the
left side. These movements should
be kept up until their purpose is
accomplished. If the pain is very
great two pieces of flannel wrung
out of hot water and applied alter
nately as nearly as possible will give
relief. Before applying, rub the
abdomen with vaseline so as not to
burn tender skin. After the abdomen
should be covered with a generous
piecelof flannel or absorbent cotton.
A laxative and none is better than
castor oil. is needed to complete the
cure. The pain of collie comes in
paroxysms and is lessened rather
than increased by pressure.
