Show N THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 181922. , 14 MAKE YOUR HUSBAND LAUGH AND AID HIS DIGESTION By snra w. To th editors, t Of course my reader has all heard the old adage that laughter aids digestion and the more cheerful a person Is wile they are eating, why the sooner they will digest their feed. Well I always thought this was Just a kind of a gag like the one about early to rise maxeing a man healthy, wealthy and wise, but the other day I was read ing a article signed by 2 guys named Bodmer which Says that it is really the truth and givelng reasons for same. It seems like our stomachs lays lust blowvjgs thing they call the diaphragm and the way we digest our meals !b by this diaphragm jumping up and down when we breath and the stomach has got to jump with It and every jump king of scatters things sround like they ought . to be Well when we laugh the diaphragm lardner tlah nd she gets the bones In her throat. A good trick 'for Saturdays Is for the wife to swallow a whole spoon full of horse radish, thinking it Is potato, iht Sundays they's generally always company and the butler or maid can be trained to soak them in gravy. If the husband ain't normal and these kind of gag fail to get a wow the house wife will half to memorise some verbal jokes and stories like the following which I found In a book which Is a scream In Itself. Each story should be told at tbs beginning of a meal so as the husband can keep remembering It and laughing all the wile he is loading up One story Is about the little hoy that went to school and the teacher adked him how many ribs did he have, "1 dont know teacher, says Johnny, "as I am so ticklish 1 couldn't never count them." Another story Is about the man that went away on his Vacation and forgot s jrlyl Ira the Course of a Vacation ,i It is not so much where you are going as what you are wearing. week-en- And, though it mean a are an there of unbelievable number only may good times crowded into short space.

Regularly priced to $15,00. high-grad- Jumps all the harder and the stomach along with it and that la the answer to how the adage come to be made up Well amongst all my men friends which la mostly 30 yrs old and up 1 none of them that don t comknow don't plain once in a wile that their supper didn t act good and a specially since sympathetic gin become the rage, so It looks to me like this was the time for all good women to come to the aid of their husband s digestion and the best way to- begin late see be tt that padia has laughter with his meals. The next question Is how to make him laugh and of course I can't give you no gen. rule as different men Is libel to laugh at different things and what would be a wow to one husband might make another sob his little heart out. However it has been pretty well proved that the best laugh getter for the majority Is physical humor tike for Inst, somebody kicking a policeman in the shins or a old lady falling on a Icy sidewalk and breaking their neck. But It aln t always convenient to keep and sidewalks policemens and old ladys In the dinning tm so we will half to think up some other kind of gags that the house wife can stage without a whole lot of trouble The one that comes to mind 1st is the custard pie gag that can be worked by the butler bringing in the custard pie He sets right after the soup course down a piece of custard pie In front of the lady of the house. She looks at It and says why you poor sap It ain t time for the pie yet and she throws the pie in the butler s eye If this don t keep the husband in hysterics the rest of the meal It means that his taste don t run to the physical But If it does get a good giggle out of him the same gag can be pulled again about once a week which Is about as often as a joke lean be sprang and get appreciationon Say then that she throws the pie Mondays Tuesdays the butler starts to bring In the soup and trips on the dinning rm. rug. He falls and skins himself all up wile the soup spatters in all directions On Wednesdays the butler nan he going to the kitchen with a load of dishes just as the 2d butler Is comelng from the kitchen with another toad. The swinging door hits one of them In the nose and floors him. On Thursdays the servants I all out and the wife herself cooks the dinner. You dont need no other laugh on this day but It will help a little If she burns a couple fingers. On Fridays you have , "- -' ' to take his golf coat so his sister sent It to him by mall and she wrote him a letter and told him she had sent the coat by mall. But she said In the letter that In order to save postage she had cut all the buttons off of the coat and he would find them In the right lower pocket of the coat. If a husband cant get a stomach laugh out of them gags or the physical gags either one, why he must be weak minded and If that Is the case It may only be necessary for the wife to set-- and make funny faces at him all through the meal Travel Routes.

Fe Trails. Old Santa tTiuT tra i southwest were gradually shortened and Straightened so that finally there came out of the central states and across Texas in the early thirties the old trail to Santa Fe, followed later by a more northerly route more familiarly known as tbs Santa Fs trait. The commerce of the old southwest urged both highways southward to El Paso and thence beRio Grande to Chihuahua, yond th where they unfurled themselves In th heat and dust. But westward in early New Mexico trails fougtat history the explorer-trapphard for an existence and perpetuity, for want of watercourses, water and grass and. for supplies, want of a Indeed, steady travel upon them. The Colorado river forbade the coming of the chancO outfit In flood season, and seldom was the low water sufficiently shallow to make portages easy for heavy-lade- n pack animals. Thus for many years much of n the Santa Diego travel "went around the Colorado' over the old Spanish trails most of th way, through central Utah from southwestern Colorado, and thence directly southwest to th coast. But after gold was discovered In California th southwestern deserts and er Fe-8a- r mountain passes were forced at many place and the ferries at the mouth of the Gila did much business, but the route a a whole was one of much torture, mien. In the later fifties, the first stage from Missouri to the Pacific went forth along the more southerly Santa Fe trail El Paso, Fort Yuma, and tbenc to the coast, and in the early seventies the trail of steel supplanted all the old transcontinental routes through thaouthweaU Boating to the Mountains. ' Far to the opposite extreme of climate, location and route Is the use of the Missouri river a a flatboaf and canoe trail Into the Rocky mountains, both for th trapper and the explorer of farther lands, and this began, with the memorable exploration of the Louisiana Purchase by Lewi and Clark. Indeed, this stream eras navigated in this manner for many year by many parties, more or Les sucof the cessfully, from the foothill Rockies in Montana and in Wyoming and Colorado, .on e various bbranches in seasons of favor-ablwater stages. But laborious portages, low water stage and the desire for penetrating the Interior region, and of reaching destination by more direct route, necessitated th establishment, finally, of crosscountry route. These originated at the Missouri river, mostly at Independence. Bt Joseph, Leavenworth, Atchison. Nebraska City and, finally, Omaha, though while emigrant trains were outfitting at these places from freight and passengers discharged by th river packets there ere also migrant and freight trains that originated in Illinois, Iowa, Arkan sas. and, later, even Texas discharged its quota through the central route, in preference to the southwest trails The first wagon trains went forth on this central route In the early forties, though the flrst wagons went in the late twenties and early thirties. So readily was the way laid out for these first Oregon missionaries and emigrants that the tens of thousands who followed in the to come traveled by the u te wl thi ew rods' deviation as a general rule. This first overland trail for teams has come to be known as the Oregon trail, much of the way, though It is equally well and appropriately known In other sections, for seme reason, as the Great SaM Lake trail, and other trails Then went out from th Missouri other trails, to relieve the congestion, and to reach more directly the gold regions at Denver In the later fifties, along the Kansas and Smoky Hill rivers, whose upper reaches were flung far toward the mountains la a straight Una. Indeed, on some of these trails in eastern Kansas, emigrants and traders, on the same road, were bound for the Santa Fe southwest, Pueblo, Denver, Utah, California or Oregon, and In the early sixties another contingent might have been found headed for the Boseman rout to the Montana gold fields. half-centu- ry self-ama- ro n,at -- Central Overland Route. Both the Kansas routes and the branch southwest from the Great Salt Lake or Overland trail at Julesburg. were called the Pikes Peak trail, on which th Pikes Peak or Bust emigrants came, went and fell by the way. Then, in th sixties, a new management on the mail contract, and unusually hard times with the Indians, caused the change of much of the original route in Wyoming, far to the southward across the Laramie plains of the southern counties, and always there n were rather ways into the North Park section of Colorado, th Wind River and Shoshone lands of Wyoming, and the Jackson Hols and Yellowstone farther west, where government went as the trails converged to the east of the Rockies In order to cross the territory of Wyoming, so did they diverge again In far southwestern Wjomlng, southeastern Idaho and northern Utah for travel was well sustained from the davs of '4 in California, over all the Pacific routes for many ears. The Oregon and California outfits parted company either in Wyoming or at Soda Springs, Idaho, the Oregon emigrants following on down th Snake river and the California trains passing out into the Great Salt lake valley. Once In the Sait lake valley, whether they landed at Corinne, Ogden or Salt Lake City, th trains proceeded westward as suited the whims or information of th people. these were largely independent routes The they converged again in Nevada old Mormon trail, along the westerly front of tho Wasatch mountains Into southern California, was very heavily traveled In the ten years prior to the completion of the railroad In the late sixties It t on Its title sway from the more general and far less definite and satisfactory old Spanish trail during the days when much mercnandlse came to. Utah byww the Isthmus of Panama, and the ports of southern California and the Colorado river as far as boats could come But the freight, the mails and th passengers flowed with the railroads during the seventies, and the weary wagoners laid by like the skeletons of the plains This did not stop the use of the old trails entirely, for local wagon and trail trafflo continued, and the conquest of th Interior parts continued wimjut ceasing .But during the past two decades, there has been born of the automobile a modern variety of dirt trail trawl that laughs at the miles of the hooded freighter and th flying" stage, and marvels sincerely at th achievement of the pioneer.

However, these prodigal of the trail did not In the least deter th rank and file of emigrants, and the wagon train procession continued, often to the unsettling of the settlement themselves Thus It Is not to be wondered that our composite Uncle Ferd, as the merest boy on a homestead clogged with work and devoid of Interest, should have had hi adventurous spirit fired beyond measure by th tales of the trails, and that ha should have resolutely cast his lot with el the moving throngs.
