A NEEDED WARNING.

A little book has just been pub
lished by the Vir Publishing company,
Philadelphia, which should be widely
read. II is called Letters OF a Phys
ician to His Daughters" and IL treats
on The great black plague" a subject
on which too little is generally known.
The author Is DR.. F. A. Rupp His aim
is 10 enlighten the young people on the
awful dangers to which they are ex-
posed through the existence Of the $50
cial evil' His language is plain, and
some OF the facts he relates are awful
but the little book can be read by the
most fastidious.
The author claims that about y per

year contaminated. broken In health.
and sent to their graves. He warns un-
suspecting girls against these condi-
lions.

said. I'm public. or in print. but it is
evident that the time has come for a

Utah's first interurban electric line is

this time henceforth her two principal
cities win enjoy the luxury Of quick

Is Hon. Simon Bamberger. His patient,

sort that entities him 10 the name OF
