I A NEW BOOK FOR THE PEOPLE We are in receipt of a copy of "Gov ernment by All the People." by Delos F Wilcox This work goes into de tails of the reform doctrines proposed to bring the government barl: to tho people. Tho book explains in full the initiative, referendum and recall, tells how each works, fully explains the ohjecr and intention and proves be yond the shadow of a doubt that our Standpat friends are very much mis taken when tbey think the reform measures will bring anarchy and cha os. Mr. Wilcox handles the judicial recall and shows that no one need bo afraid Of Theodore Roosevelt's prop osition to recall the judges when they declare nncnstltutlonal any wholesome laws enacted by the legislature for the protection of the people. I Every bod v should get this book, read It and study the great reform measures and he prepared to act In telligently on the. ereat question when opportunity is presented. There is nothing more disgusting than to see a man All his lungs with air, and with a wave of his hand, re fer to the reform measures as mob rule and anarchv These reform measures, fully explained by Mr Wil cox, are just the reverse f-o mob rule and anarchy. They will prevent mob rule and anarctn and the future hope for the United States of America is t bring the government back to the peo ple in this way How the change can be brought about Mr. Wilcox explains in his book, "Government by All the People."

It is so simple that the scientist are wonder ing that they have not noticed or placed anv particular Importance on that fact before The heart beat is Intermittent, for if it were not that organ could not starur the strain of action for even part of a lifetime. How long can you sustain a vigorous muscular effort 1 Only a short time, and then you must halt lest you' In vite exhaustion. However you can make momentarily extremely violent, efforts, and you can repeat these fre quently If you be given time between to recover. The shining thread of the electric bulb can glow much brighter for a hort while than it ordinarily does during continuous service. M. Dus saud merely applied the principle of I occasional, regular rests to hi, incan descent lamps, required them to give their best when at the white heat and then, after that brief tax, gave them a longer period of repose ere calling them again to duty. It is a fact that the actual heat of his filaments is unusually high, but because of the way hls 8ystem works the light produced ia Cold-the lamp Yervice for 60 brlef a "h that it does not project heat waves.

The eggs are placed on end in hor izontal fillers made of pasteboard and wood; then these fillers are put into tin cases which can be hermetically sealed, each ca8e having a -capacity of six fillers containing 160 eggs. The covrs of the filled cases are then soldered and the cases are deposited in an autoclave (digester) which con tains twelve caseg of 960 eggs each. A vacuum is then made in the auto clave, and a duly proportioned mix- I WATCH ; , REPAIRING 1 lour watch will be thor- oughly repaired and regu I Uted if you bring it to Th HARRY DAVIS H I ne Popular Price Jeweler.

This process Is very simple localise carbon dioxide and nitrogen, in the form of compressed or liquified gases, are on the market now, so that the manipulation of a few cocks and the rAdinc of a range suffice to produce tho proper mixture The process in the autoclave having been completed, the cases are taken out, hermetically sealed and stored In cold storage rooms, at a temperature varying between 1 and 1 C The chief advantages accruing from the preser-, vation of eggs in sterile air are the following Waste, of such importance In ordinary cold storage, is complete ly eliminated The eggs retain a per-: fectly "fresh" flavor, and consequently j they remain excellent for table use even after ten months' storage; they also retain their full weight, because no f auun is possum'' in uie im cases. After their removal from the cold storage room the eggs remain In perfert condition for a long time, and can be shipped long distances with out deterioration, this constitutes a SigiUt superiority over the ordinary cold storage eggs which deteriorate rapidly after having been taken out of; cojd storage The reason for this is i simple: the antiseptic air which snr I rounds them for several months, to gether with the cold, absolutely de stroy all bacteria which may be on the shell of the egg, or in Its substance 1 Deterioration -annot set in except by reinfection, which is produced only by exposure to the air for several weeks Rv reason of the advantages eggs preserved In sterile air find a ready market and command much higher prices in winter than ordinary cold storage eggs, or even thc so called "fresh ' imported eggs ONE MORE ELECTRIC LINE FOR OGDEN Street cars started to run between Salt Lake CItj and Bountiful this morning Bountiful is not far south of Farmington and the latter place is half way between Ogden and Salt Iake. That is significant. The Utah Light & Railway, whose ars are com ing this way. Is reaching out. and we are Informed that, before this time next year, the new electric interurban system will be in Ogden A substation is being constructed south of Layton, which Is evidence that the company is pushing on north without delay There is a rumor circulated to the effect that even Ogden is not to be the northern terminal of this line; that the road is to he extended from here to the Idaho line. Thp coming of this second electric railway connecting Ogden and Salt! Lake cannot mean anything other than a reduction of passenger rates be tween the two cities. We are informed that when the nrw line is completed, the Oregon Short Line will bid for a part of the passen ger traffie by establishing a 35-mln- ute service. Trains will be run at a speed of a mile a minute, or even faster and this fast time in part will be made possible by a system 0f In terlocking switches In the Ogden yards, permitting of high speed from the time the trains get under way at the Union depot until they arrive at the station in Salt Lake. With two steam roads and two trolley lines competing for the business, trav elers between Ogden and Salt Lake should have an unequaled service in comfort, speed, frequency of trains and, most important, in cheapness of transportation. oo Pantages Vaudeville tonight.
