I TlTe Salt Lake County Medical so- I cic-ty held a discussion Monday night 1 at its regular meeting on the ending of I human life by a painless method when a patient is suffering from a painful I and incurable disease.

I The growth will cause strangulation, j and an operation would mean almost j certain death. I The anti-publicity measure of Dr. La S Motte was killed, as his motion to ccn- I sider the question of forming a press- I clipping bureau for the purpose of,kep- I Jng tab on physicians who give interest- s ing cases to the newspapers, did not re- j ceive a second.

To be "comfortably rich" is an J Jdeal condition, enjoyed by few, and I yet within the reach of all. A steady I Income fora money invested in safe I securities is a source of comfort and j pleasure. When that income is sufficient I to live on, the possessor is as rich as 1 any one can possibly be. There is no need then to work or worry, and there I is time for the higher aims and pleas- ures of life. Happily, too, such invest ments are in the long run more profitable profit-able than speculations. Our first mort-j mort-j gage securities, netting 6 per cent per 1 annum, are the safest and best paying investments in the world. The investor holds the security and we do the work.
