There Is no class of ailments more

diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder
caused by uric acid poisoning of the

she does so at her peril.
The symptoms of uric acid poison
ing-and consequent serious organic
disease of the Kidneys, Bladder and

mistakable in character. No woman
can fail to recognize them, once they

A False Accusation.

During the winter story was circu-
lated around town that certain young
lady had been passing checks on Oran
Lewis. These checks, they said. were
passed in Salt Lake City by young
girl who claimed to be from Spanish
Fork, attending school in the city. She
signed her name Bliss Lewis. OF
course, Miss Lewis claiming she did not
write the checks, some people without
forethought. knowledge or good common
sense, fastened this odious crime to an
innocent young girl who happened to
be going to school in Salt Lake City.
Being unable to find the originators of
this pernicious story, the friends of
this young lady took her to Salt Lake
City, called upon all those that had
cashed the forged checks, and asked
them to identify her. The following is
a letter signed by them indicating the
innocence of this unfortunate young
lady:

Bio Circus at Provo
Ringing Bros. to Exhibit There OF
Tuesday, August 3rd.

Ringing Bros to Exhibit There on
Tuesday, August 3rd.
Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest
Show is to visit Provo on Tuesday,
August 3, coming this season with new
laurels won at Madison Square Garden
in New York because of the unprece-
denied excellence of their performance.
IL is in all respects the very best circus
that was ever organized and the two
performances that will be given in
Provo will be given exactly as they
we're presented in Manhattan, not the
slightest change having been made
since the season opened there.
There are no less than seven sensa-
tons on the program, any one of which
is great enough to give circus dis
tlnction. There are the wonderful
Schuman horses that waltz on their
hind legs, drink from large glasses and
roll each other around in huge beer
barrels; elephants that use the tele-
phone, conversing with each other over
the wire from one end of the main tent
to the other; the thrilling double somer-
saulting automobile act, performed by
young French girl; Roblidello, the
Mexican wire wizard; the wonderful
Torch family of acrobats and 100 other
great acts that are new to America.
This will be the only opportunity for
the people of Spanish Fork to see
Ringing Brothers circus, and prob
ably never again will such an array of
European talent be seen under one
management, as the expense of giving
such program is almost beyond belief.
The parade will be given at 10 o. clock
in the morning, and 1t is an entirely
new spectacle. Some of the features
are camels, zebras, deer. elephants and
llamas driven in teams like horses and
harnessed to ornate tableaux. The
parade will be three miles long. The
menagerie, too, is a wonderful affair,
greatly enlarged and filled with strange
specimens of the animal world. At the
head of the menagerie is Darwin, the
missing link, which lives III a miniature
house with windows, electric lights, hot
water heater, chairs and tables. Darwin
eats with knife and fork, drinks from
bottle and shaves himself.

We were pleased to meet you this
morning in connection with the forged
checks signed Oran Lewis, passed upon
number of business houses of this
city, some having been cashed by us.
We can say that you are not the young
woman who presented the checks at
our stores and we are glad to be able
to say so, and trust this will have the
effect to remove any suspicion that has
been raised from the unfortunate fact
of your having been the only young
woman attending the l.. ID. S. High
School last year from Spanish Fork.
With sincere sympathy,
Yours very truly,

The Press does not wish to unjustly
upbraid any of our citizens, but it does
seem that too often we circulate things
wholly untrue, notwithstanding they
bring into question the honor, standing
and good name of some of our most
respected townsmen. Before we repeat
any story that would cast mark of
shame against the character of any of
our fellow citizens, let us be absolutely
sure that what we repeat is true. If
wo cannot take the trouble to determine
the correctness of the story, let our
lips refuse to repeat it.
In the case referred to above, this
young lady may do all she can, but
despite her efforts, she cannot get the
letter indicating her innocence before
all those who have heard her name in
connection with the forged checks.
