TELLS WHY UTAH'S
SUICIDE RATE IS LOW

Salt Lake City, Apr. In the
matter Of suicides, Utah, In 1915,
had the lowest rate of any state in
the union, according to statistics OF
the state health office. The per-
centage was 1871 per 100000 OF
population. Even this record was
bettered in 1916 and 1917. when
the number per 10000 population
was lis and 10, respectively.
Credit for this low suicide rate Is
given in large degree to the
"block teacher" system of the Nor
mon church. Utah's population is
largely Mormon and visits by these
teachers" has been found an i'm.
portant factor in preventing actions
due to lonesomeness and lack OF ad-
visors.
In each ecclesiastical ward OF the
church are both ward teachers and
relief society teachers. Blocks" ap-
proximating from six to twelve
homes within a ward, are visited
regularly by these teachers, both
men and women. Families are given
counsel in both religious, business
and family affairs when they desire
1t. In this way, according to the au-
thorities OF the church, those per-
sons of morse disposition are
cheered, young mothers are advised
and numerous other matters taken
up that have proved OF benefit to
all. In the advising OF young moth
ers, according to church statistics, It
Is claimed that the death rate among
young children Is remarkably low
among these who accept counsel,
the records showing that an average
OF only one in 81 babies under one
year of age die annually.
While the teachers" are princi-
pally for the purpose of visiting and
counseling members of the church,
the help is offered to gentiles II they
wish it. No one, including church
members need be visited II they do
not wish 1t.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done For Humanifvi
ny DOCTOR GRIPS,

II has always seemed 10 mo that
DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. Y, should be
placed near the top when list OF
Americas great beneiactors Ia written.
He studied and conquered human dis.
eases 10 degree that few realize.
Whenever he found remedy that over.
came disease, he ht once announced II
In the newspapers and told where Il
could be bought NJ small price. He
did not follow the usual custom Of
keeping the ingredients secret, 30 that
the rich only could afford 10 buy the
medicine, but openly printed tho name
OF each root and herb he used. And
so to-day the names OF DR.. Pierce and
his medicines are widely known, and
they stand for better health and better
citizenship.
One OF this great physician's most
successful remedies Is known as Doctor
Piercc's Pleasant Pellets. These are
little, sugar-coated pills, composed Of
Mayapplc, leaves OF aloe, root Of jalap--
things that Nature grows in the ground.
These Pellets are safe because they
move the bowels gently, leaving no bad
after effects, rs 30 many pills do.
Very often they make person who
takes them feel like new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines
Of hard, decayed and poisonous matter
that accumulates when one ia costive.
II you are constipated, by all means
90 TO your druggist and get some Of
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
may prove 10 be the very thing your
system requires TO make you we'll and
happy.

given the preference in examina-
tions or promotions is open 10 ques-
ton.
The positions for which civil SER
vice examinations are required have
to do with the business of the state,
and 1t is manifestly for the. public
good that the persons, soldier or ci-
william, best fitted to fill those posi-
tions should have them.
The system was inaugurated to do
away with favoritism, with political
and party handling of state offices
to the jeopardy of state business and
equal rights for the individual. Mer-
it determined by the same tests for
all, open to all, was accepted as the
only just basis for decision.
Any soldier will stand just as good
a show as any civilian in passing the
examinations which have been care
fully compiled to test the ability OF
the average citizen, and which
should therefore work no more hard
ship upon one than upon another.
To break up a great and truly
democratic system in favor OF any
single class, however deserving, is to
break faith with democracy itself.

THIRTY-SEvEN ANSWERS

An eastern news bureau recently
sent out questionnaires to newspa-
pers Of the United States wrrn the
view Of getting the opinion Of the
press in regard to >the proposed
league OF nations idea. The bureau
says:
The outstanding fact seems to be
the overwhelming sentiment in favor
Or the league OF nations. OF these
~ representative papers "a profess
themselves friendly to the idea OF a
world federation. Nineteen of these
indicate that they think the consti-
tuition now under consideration will
I'LL the bill even in its present form.
and 15 more indicate that they will
accept it II it is modified in certain
particulars or If 1t stands the test of
CdIeiui scrutiny.
I'm some of the letters there is
drastic condemnation of President
Wilson's method Of procedure, espe-
cially his attitude toward the SEN
ate. In some there is severe crit
icism Of certain things in the doc
ument he submits, as the editors un-
derstand them. But we are glad to
find that the spirit Of the criticism
In the big majority Of cases is con-
structive. The critics approach the
subject not wishing the presidents
undertaking to fail, but wishing It
to succeed, because whether they are
for Wilson or against him, they
want to see peace league created
In the main, even when doubtful
about the fundamentals Of this con-
stitution, and desiring changes or
amendments, they seem to feel that
it affords the only basis in sight for
accomplishing what the world wants
and what America wants. So they
desire to whip it into acceptable
shape and put it over"
A noticeable feature of the in
quiries received is the fact that in
dependent and republican editors
speak of "a" league Of nations,
while the answer from democratic
papers speak of the proposition as
THE" league Of nations, or Presi-
dent Wilson and his" league of
nations. One democrat speaks OF
the league as THE" thing and as
serts that the senate will mot
DARE" turn 1t down.
So far as results are concerned all
such straw votes, or expressions of
opinion, does not get anywhere.
While 1t is safe to predict that the
majority of American citizens are
in favor of a league to prevent fu-
ture wars, II a satisfactory agree
ment between the nations can be
drawn up, yet no proposed plan
not even the one now being advo-
Gated by the president and Mr.. Taft
is In no manner so sacred that It
is crime to criticise It or suggest
notifications.
