SALT LAKE CITY, February "a
The body of Mrs. Frank Moormeister,
wife of Salt Lake City physician. was
found today on a country road near
Granger. 10 miles from this city. She
had been struck on the head and then
apparently run over many time with
an automobile.
Several thousand dollars worth of
Jewelry which Mrs. Moormeister habit
ually wore had been stolen from her
person, Sheriff's officers reported. The
woman'S automobile, blood-stained,
was found on street here later. Frag-
mentS of ore found in her hat led the
officers to assume that the rock was
the weapon used by her assailant.
Onicers said they were looking for a
woman whom Mrs. Moormeister had
arranged to meet yesterday afternoon.
Because of its brutal nature, police
believed that some other motive than
robbery actuated the shaving.

Democratic Chairman Sends
Back Check Offered to
Qualify for Election.

SELMA, Ala, February 22.-Edmund
w. Pettus, chairman of the State Demo-
cratic executive committee, today re-
fused to accept the qualifications of
United States Senator ]. Thomas Hefiin
as a candidate to succeed hsmself in
the Democratic primary August IL.
In explanation of his action, Pettus
told the senior Alabama Senator the
AFFIDAVIT declaring himself a candidate
did not meet the requirements of a
resolution adopted by the Democratic
executive committee fixing qualifications
Of candidates for Federal, State. dis
trict and circuit Offices.
Didn't Vote for G. o. p.
Although Hef1in in his application
said he did not vote the Republican
presidential ticket in 1928, the State
chairman pointed out that you fail to
state that you did not openly and pub
licly oppose the election of the nominees
of the Democratic party, or either of
them, and that you did not oppose the
election of the Democratic electors for
President and Vice President in No
vember, 1928"
"As this particular part of your
afidavit probably can not be amended"
Pettus letter TO the Senator continued,
my duty under the resolution is TO re-
turn your check"
In his declaration, Senator Helm de-
clared he was "a lifelong Democrat"
and would abide by the results of the
forthcoming primary. He made no
reference to his activities in opposing
the Democratic national ticket in the
last general election.
Qualified With State Secretary.
Before leaving for Washington dur
ing the past week, Senator Helm
qualified with the secretary of State as
a candidate in compliance with the
corrupt practices act. He said he would
await the decision of the State Supreme
Court of a petition of Horace Wilkin-
son, Birmingham, before announcing
his campaign plans.
Wilkinson's plan, seeking to restrain
Jefferson County from proceeding with
the primary on the grounds that 1t
would be an illegal expenditure of pub
lie funds, was dismissed in Jefferson
Circuit Court and was filed on appeal
with the Supreme Court.
Hefiin, a bitter opponent OF Alfred
E. Smith In 1923. has declared II the
Supreme Court fails to uphold the petit
ton, he will take his case Ito the high
est supreme court-the people" as a
"Jeffersonian" candidate.

them carefully in a well lined box O.
basket and place them gently undel
the hover. The basket or box SHOULD
be carefully covered to keep thu
chicks from getting chilled. Aftel
the chicks are installed in their new
home, I give them some water, grl
and milk. They are allowed to come
out several times during the day fol
grit and water and each time I put
them back under the hover. In this
way they learn quickly and easily.
My plan may mean a little more
trouble at first, but my experience
is that it saves time in the long run
because chicks are more quickly
trained to seek the hover for warmth
and protection.
From this point on, detailed in
structiOns cannot be given. Your
exact procedure will depend on the
kind of apparatus you employ. Fol
low the manufacturers instructions
carefully and watch the chicks al
all times to make sure they are COM
Portable and growing at satisfac-
tory rate. A word about correct
temperature will not be amiss, Many
experienced poultrymen never look
at a thermometer but are guided en-
tirely by the actions of the chicks.
If they lie quietly in small contented
groups, they are comfortable, but ii
they spread out flat, lifting their
wings and painting they are too hot.
Extend their fence so they can get
away from the heat or of canopy
type hover is used, lower the tenn
perature. If they huddle together
they are too cold. Gently force them
to hover closer to the stove by de-
creasing the circumference of your
brooder curtains.
These things are only learned by
observation and experience. If you
do not care to trust your judgment
in that respect, the following SEIZED
uIe will be found helpful. The first
two or three nights the temperature
at level of sleeping chicks, backs
should be between 95 and 100 de-
grees, but never over 100. AS the
chicks begin to exercise Lney re-
quire less heat. The latter part OF
the first week begin to lower the
temperature gradually until it is
around IS at the end of the third
week. AS many chicks will be fair
ly we'll feathered by the end of the
fifth week, the temperature may run
between IS and 20, being reduced
until finally artificial heat is no
longer required.
Avoid sudden variations at all
times. An even heat is the ideal
condition. The general temperature
of quarters outside the hover should
never be lower that go degrees. If
it runs lower, some auxiliary means
of heating should be provided.

ton. He can determine, often long
before you are aware of it, the on
set of some disability that may in
time incapacitate you. The cost of
such an examination will be but a
small part of the cost of an illness
requiring prolonged treatment, or
even surgical operation, and the
time saved to your regular Occupa-
ton is also if importance. The best
part for you is the fact that no time
need be lost from your daily work
beyond an hour or so required to
have the doctor look you over.
Think also of the saving in worry
and inconvenience to your friends
and relatives by the avoidance of
illness and the increased happiness
that comes from a knowledge that
there is no known illness in your
family.
By following out this suggestion
at least annually, you need not wor-
ry about the cost of being sick, for
your chances of less sickness and a
longer life will be greatly improved.
You can laugh at medical costs and
continue at your normal mental and
physical capacity.

A proper start in life means just
as much to the newly Matched chick
as to a newborn babe. Even though
a chick may inherit all the desira-
BILE traits of many generations OF
blue blooded avian aristocracy, its
hereditary advantages may be com
pletely offset by lack of proper at
tention during the days Immediately
following it's exodus from the incu-
bator. Correct brooding methods,
on the other hand, will not only re-
duce the infant mortality rate IN
your flock, but will give you more
robust and more productive mem
bers for your flock of the future.
Such care should start even be-
fore you are ready to receive chicks
from the hatchery or to transfer
them from your own incubator to
hover. See that all parts OF the
hoyers and brooder quarters are
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
Spray all parts of the room with a
fairly strong solution of dip and
disinfection to guard against lice,
mites and other parasites. Be sure
the room is well ventilated but free
from draughts. Then put sand and
litter on the floor to give the chicks
something to scratch in and keep
the floor covered.
See that heating units are IN gooo
order. burners clean and regulating
mechanism working well. Then
start your stoves, lamps or electr1-
city running several days in advance
In this way you will be able to
thoroughly familiarize yourself with
operation and control of the devices.
You will also have the quarters
evenly warmed Throughout. Place
a temporary fence around each
hover to keep the chicks near the
source of heat making allowance for
gradually enlarging it from time to
time. This is usually managed Dy
usuing a roll of one inch netting two
feet high. Do not cut it, simply un-
roll a little more each time you feel
the growth of the brood demands
more room.
When the chicks are ready to be
transferred or have arrived carry

quently laid at the physicians door.
But is he to blame?
It is a matter of statistical record
that more people are being hospital
lied when sick. Many of these peo-
pie formerly remained at home
when i'll, and thus saved the hospi-
tai, laboratory and nursing bills that
now face them when sickness falls.
The physicians charges amount to
approximately one-fourth or twenty
five per cent of the cost of being i'll,
and have not increased in anything
like the proportion to other costs of
sickness.
To offset this growing tendency to
increased costs of being sick, physi-
clans and public health workers are
teaching people how to keep we'll.
Every Individual has it largely
within his own power to determine
the state of his health. Unfortunate
ly the average person never thinks
of his health until he is disabled in
some respect. Then he is very
anxious to recover that which he
has lost.
Your physician can render you a
far more valuable service in keep
ing you we'll than he can in restOr-
ing you to health after you become
disabled. If given the opportunity,
he will make a health examination
and tell you about your true condi-
