Ogden, Utah, Jan. II, IS01.-(Spe-
eial. THE Pacific Coast Division Of
the Salvation Army, whose noble work
IN the interests Of fallen humanity has
done so much for this western country,
has its headquarters in this city. One
Of the brightest and most enthusiastic
workers is Lieut. Miss Mabel Clarice
Hunt Everyone knows how these de-
voted people parade the streets day or
night, exposing themselves TO all kinds
Of weather, that no opportunity may
Be lost Of rescuing some poor unfOrtu-
nate from sin and suffering. In some
cases, their reeklessness In thus expos
ing themselves has been commented
upon as almost suicidal Their answer
70 such criticisms invariably Is their
unfailing faith In the Divine iniune-
ton to do right and fear not" Lieut..
Hunt explains one Of the means she
employs 70 keep her Soldiers. In good
health, as follows:

Liver Trouble and Diseases contracted
from severe colds. Several OF our lads

have spoken for hours out OF doors,
often with wet feet and chilled 10 the

posure, Pulmonary Trouble, Rhsu-
matIsm and Kidney Disorders often en-

DOdd's Kidney Pills, for I have no
ticed better results. quicker relief, and
more lasting benefit from the use Of
Dodd's Kidney pills in such cases than
fram all other medicines know Of
combined. They cleanse the blood,
regulate the system and destroy dis
ease"
A medicine which can DO what Lieut..
Hunt says so positively Dodd's Kidney
Pills do Is surely worth the attention
Of all who suffer with any form OF
Kidney Trouble. Rheumatism. or Blood
Disorders.

GRAIN MARKETS ARE UP
SMALL INCREASE IN WHEAT VISIBLE

Fear of Crop Damage by Cold Anothe
Inhuence-Trade Not Very Brisk

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Late bullish condi-

brought some small activity TO otherwise

closed 4c up, corn sc higher and oats Ac
advanced. Provisions closed unchanged to
212c up.
Early conditions in the whea pit were
bearish, the cable list was lower, outside
markets were weak and there was still a
marked influence from yesterdays visible
increase report. Local and northwestern
receipts We're small and there was a fear
that the cold weather and continued
scarcity Of cars would work against the
movement, but there was little influence
from this factor at the opening. On these
influences and a very dull show for bust
ness May opened BQAc TO a shade lower,
at 79Q79Bc. There was little to be had at
this, however, and on a small outside de-
mand and some short covering prices
gradually advanced. Then came the report
of greatly decreased primary receipts and
a very small net increase of the worlds
visible supply. Shorts became worried, and
on a report that the Kansas crop would be
