Catarrh Of the Stomach.

When the stomach is overloaded,
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and inflames the
mucous membrane, exposing the
nerves, and causes the glands tosecret
mucin, instead of the natural juices OF
digestion. This is called Gatarrh of
the Stomach. For years I have
suffered with Catarrh of the Stomach.

William E. Curtis, in Des Moines

says:
II one may believe half that is told
him the people of Iowa have been
robbed OF enormous sums OF money by
fraudulent insurance, and 1t is also
charged that the state officials and the
legislature knowingly permit this to
be done, because influential bankers,
merchants and politicians are interest
ed in the companies. Des Moines,
like Hartford in the East, is sort of
headquarters for insurance organize
lions which, am told, is largely due
to the liberality of the laws of the state
and the lax manner in which they have
been enforced. Some OF the Des
Moines companies are not permitted to
do business in other states, particular
ly In Missouri and Minnesota, where
the laws are strict and the insurance
commissioners are vigilant. Several
have been repeatedly exposed and de-
nounced In reputable journals, but the
local papers say nothing about them

their managers are prominent citizens

The statement of an elderly gentle
man that he had not in ten years miss
ed writing to his mother every Sunday
morning Is worthy of consideration by
all young people away from home and
relations. 1t takes but few minutes
to write, but the message will cause a
warm glow around the mother heart
that will last for days. Young men
and women i'm their frequent change
of location become careless, criminally
careless, in this respect and should
give more consideration to the "old
folks at home" This carelessncss on
the part of young people is due in a
measure to the fact that time passes
rapidly with them. business cares
and the social whirl occupy the time
and procrastination interferes with
good resolutions until weeks, months,
and even years go by without the let

Boys and Girls.

Are your boys and girls the source of
worry and anxiety to you, parents? DO
your boys spend their evenings on the
streets, in some billiard hall, or at some
other gambling placer Are they the
frequenters of the theatre at every
performance DO your girls insist on
going out to a dance every evening?
Did you ever stop to reason out the
cause of their desire to get away from
home? If your children are away from
home a great portion of the time and
you seem to have lost control of them,
there is excellent reason you may be
sure. Young lives are full of the
freshness and buoyancy of youth:these
boys and girls love brightness, beauty,
checrfulness, companionship, recrea-
tion. DO you have these essentials at
home? DO you furnish them good read
ing material--a magazine or two costs
apathy two or three dollars year;
have you any good books for them to
pore over-thc best literature can now
be secured at a mere pittance, and
with an occasional fifty cents saved
from useless luxuries, many good
books may be added to library. And
when you buy books, buy something
that appeals to your children. DO
you have games in your home? Good

ANOTHER PRIZE DREAM
THE SMlTHfIELD CHURCH QUILT
or Frozen 10 Death In a Straw Stack

read the poets great Prize Dream
In the l.. REPUBLICANS;
And says I'll go to dreaming
Just like this rhyming man.
Then out into the barn went |
And rested in the straw
And then dream went floating by
And this is what saw:
The Smithtield choir quilt had made
OF rags and tags and things,
Then built booth for lemonade
And other kind of sings.
And here their quilting they display'd
And made a LOT of noise
The old maid and the younger maid,
The bachelors and boys.
The singers sang, the speakers spoke,
The dancers danced away,
The cracker cracked his cracking joke
And giddy girls got gay
But weaving through the audience
Were ladies with bright eyes,
That mid the dance, would sell a
chance
TO draw the quilted prize.
And so | bought ten chances, and
Down laid dollar bright,
And then man said from the stand
You take the quilt, alright !"
And now that night was kind of cold
Mid winds my whiskers played,
That patchwork quilt did ! unfold,
Mid all its light and shade.
For chilling feet and freezing nose
"A quilt was just the stuff;
| tried to wind it round my toes,
But sir. 'twaSn't big enough.
Our feet are handy for some things,
But when they start to freeze
A fellow wishes they were wings
Well feathered to the knees
l wondered why Smithfeld's elite
Should scrimp their quilting so
That a quilt would not surround my
feet
Which are not large you know.
And then, said |, "Your DANCED patch
work
Is worthless for bed clo'es,"
And then l woke up with a jerk
And found myself half froze.

A Hyrum correspondent expresses
himself very forcibly concerning the
condition of Cache county roads, and
whether the statements are well d.
rected, they are at least very timely.
In most eastern counties where rock
must be quarried and crushed at an
enormous expense, good roads are
seen everywhere, and each year thous-
ands Of miles of macadamized roads
are constructed. In Cache county,
where tirst-caSs gravel can be secured
at every turn, aud where tirst-class
roads can be Lu at minimum cost,
there isn't piece of road worth men
tioning. Eastern people have discov-
cred that bad roads are expensive,
terribly expensive, and prefer to bond
the townships and by paying out a
goodly sum at one time, cut of the
continual drain upon their resources.
A few loads Of gravel or rock dumped
into a mudhole here and there doesn't
make good road, and il is folly to
continue road making IN that way.
Cache county should be bonded for
100000, the roads graded and bedded,
track constructed to one or more Of
the iirst-class grave banks to be found
on every hand, and sufficient gravel
put ON the roads to make them prac-
tically everlasting, or course there is

A VALUABLE DIAMOND.

The Pope has a diamond which is
said to be one of the most valuable in
the world and which has certainly
very strange history. It was presented
to his holiness by Mr.. Kruger, then
president Of the Transvaal Republic.
The president received it from Memela,
a native chief, who was once taken by
the Beers and ordered to be released by
Kruger. Before it fell into the hands OF
Me1nela it was owned by the chief OF
the Basutos, and was taken by him
from the Zulu king. The history of the
diamond has been marked by serief
of the most bloody wars.-Tatler.

THE SCIENCE OF GIVING.
The Giving of Money is Not Necessa-
riry Baneficence

The Giving of Money is Not Necessa-
riry Banefcence.
A woman of wealth who has devoted
her life and power to philanthropic
work thus speaks of the uses and obl-
cations of wealth:
There is one obligation unon all per
sons, rich or poor. Spending money Is
lions. | have known many consecrated
men and women, almost penniless, who
carried on great work for the Master,
and they accomplished more real good
than those whose labor ended with the
distribution of wealth.
ut Is not enough that we, should dis
tribute aims. We should be careful to
see that our gifts reach the proper per-
sons, and are not placed where they
will accomplish more harm than good.
Many well-meaning people expend their
money where it really isn't needed,
while they ignore the urgent cases
which they might discover before their
very eyes. They are not true to their
obligations. They are not commanded
to distribute money, but to do good to
others, and their possession of wealth
should enable them to do good largely.
at isn't right that we should give to
unknown charities without investiea-
ton, and yet to investigate will require
many hours, perhaps"
There was one truth that was forgot
ten by this noble woman, one that all
money-givers have not learned-the
truth that no one mind can decide as to
what is the proper method Of using
money of charity. Only science can
turn benevolence into beneficence
Most of the money now given according
to ones misguided feelings is surely
destined to become a SURGE of evil
Much of the rest, while not harmful, is
not a benefit to humanity. There is no
way in which wealth could be used with
such advantage as in endOWing a per-
manent commission of independent and
scientific minded men whose sole func-
ton it should be to advise the benevo-
lent for what purposes the gift nf mon
ey would do the most good to the world,
Some of the great endowments Of vast
sums were only saved from absolute
failure and loss by the wise and quiet
influence of moneyless men.-American
