Hyatt, Notary Pubfta Mm*** Xbt NEW TEMPLE OF THE GODS ' Beautiful Spot In Southern Utah That la Off the Beaten Trail ?# the T ouiist. In the ordinary House, no part of the United State* properly cao be called unexplored. The now Teiuple of the OodM, In southern Utah, la a discovery as far as tho average tour ist (a concerned, though by no means Is It unexplored or "new" territory. A bare 17 miles to the west' runs the well-traveled state highway from Salt Lake City to the Qrand canyon. An old trail branches off from' the road between Panultch and Tropica, lu Qer field county. In the distance Is Table Cliff plateau, source of the Kscalaute riv er; nearer, the broad amphitheater of the Paria valley; at bis feet the New Temple itself, a veritable sunken gar den. about one by thi^e miles, of ex quisite daintiness and beauty. Within Its tortuous walls of marl stand ob elisks and towers, castles and fort resses, Impressionistic statuary and giant sculptures, kaleidoscopic In their coloring and framed by the tufted yel low pines and the red manzanlta. The startling color changes and lighting effects of this great geological stage are. Indeed, Its most extraordi nary feature. In the shifting rays of sun and cloud, the tall, slender shafts and ornamental turrets gleam white, glow suddenly to a cherry heat and suddenly cool to purple j^lack. ? J. O. Alter in popular Mechanics Magazine. BIG GUNS MUST BE MOBILE Otherwise in Future Wars They Will Be Quickly Wiped Out if "Spot ted" From Above. I While the war was in progress new military Inventions and Improvements were for obvious reasons kept secret In America. Now, however, they are beginning to leak out. For example, thqre Is a' hew 14-lnch gurt, which is called "pride of the army." All big guns lu future \rlll be made mobile (on rails or drawn by gasoline tractors), because otherwise they Would Invite their own destruc tion.' With the help of "spotting" air planes they might be quickly wiped out. The guus which now defend Amer ican seacoast. forts ^ire stationary, and the big ones of no larger caliber than 12 Inches. They are to be replaced by l^-inch rifles on mobile mounts, and It Is manifest the plans of the fortifi cations will have to be altered. Newest American battleships carry 14-inch guns, which have been deemed the most effective weapons of their type in the world. Some of them did duty on land In France toward the end of the war. But this new rifle (n product of army ordnance experts' best Ingenuity) Is superior In several respects. It will throw a ..shell 35 riiiiles. Poor Packing Causes Waste. Few persons considering the cost of living realize that more than $700,000, 000 Is added to the cost of their food, clothing and other necessities each year because of' the waste caused by damage, unscientific loading and the tremendous cost of packing these commodities. The railroads and the shippers realize It, as shown by their conducting a campaign to reduce to the minimum the waste through dam age, and to utilize to the utmost the capacity of freight cars, which are Aaufed half empty. These are some of the items which enter Into this waste estimate ? carn age and theft, $100,000,000; wasted lumber used only once In packing cases, $240,000,000; empty car space, $209,000,000; and the staggering cost to the railroads of hauling, half empty cars -more than 6,000,000,000 miles, $157,000,000. It Is, estimated that from 10 to 25 per cei\f<of the cost of food stuffs goes to pay for the crates which are thrown away. Big, Railroader's Hobby. Carl B. Gray, the new president of the Union Pacific system, has one hobby ? that Is his family in which he takes the greatest Interest and pride. "Whep his two boys,, who am now at college, were attending pre paratory school at Baltimore," says J, O. Donley, Jr., in Forbes* Magazine, "he never missed a baseball or foot* ball game in which the school team participated unless he was ,away from home. And he knew every boy on the teams by his first name.' One of hla greatest delights was to_ get out on the baseball field on a summer evening and 'bat flies' to his boys. When not on the road or In his office, he spends all of his time with his family.** His Ambition. Ten-year-old Ted made his first long visit to the country. He was ranch Impressed with the, returns of farming, bat not with the work which brought the returns. He studied the occupa tion of farming diligently In order to see what part of It was easiest. And one day he discovered what ha thought was. ""Then he went to his mother. "I al ways said that I would be a farmer when I grow up," he told her, "but I guess I won't be a rest farmer. I guess I'll be a hog sloppfr." Nothing Doing. - "The overall club is a fine Idea for men, but I'm afraid It won't work out.** "Why not?" ?'Well, ve're going to have trouble if w* trr to get the women to follow salt and appear la public la Umo> wrnppofa."

THE CLETRAC DIGS NO RUTS It's ten feet of traction surface glides smoothly over any kind of soil, wet or dry. It climbs hill sides or pulls through sandy land without apparent effort or -- strain. Back of this principle is the successful records of hundreds of government army tanks that helped win the war. The Cletrac will do your farm work as efficiently as the government tank worked on the battle fields of Europe. You can safely depend on it for economy and never failing action in plowing, harrowing, seeding, harvesting, hauling, logging, road building or anjLflart > ? of bolt work* ' - ' . ? :? . r "v" ?

But his enjoy* ment of health .was no greater than yours can be. Vitality, bounding energy . ?these make for joy in life. And they are the birthright of everyone. Enjoy the blessed privi lege of'health. Make your life really worth living. To be physically fit it is only necessary to obey the laws of health, the first of which is ? maintain a clean intestinal system. Nujol works on an en tirely new principle. Instead of forcing or irritating the system, it simply softens the food waste. This enables the many tiny muscles in the wails of the intestines, contract ing and expanding in their nor mal way* to squeeze the food waste along so that it passes naturally out of the system. Nujol thus prevents constipa tion because it helps Nature maintain easy, thorough bowel movements at regular intervals ? the healthiest habit in the world. Nuiol is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take. Try it. Nujol is sold by ell drufjiata in sealed bottle* only, beariaf Nujol trade mark. Write Nujol Laboratories. Standard Oil Co.
