stuck to the day thenceforward. 1t
seems. however, that in the 18th cen
tury. in France, the boys were choos-
ing the girls names and the girls boys
names, so that each had two valen-
tines, and again we find the church
interfering. This time it was the
Bishop st. Francis de Sales who en-
deavored to suppress the survival of
Plagiarism by the same old devise
which Pope Gelasius had tried. But
good St. Francis reckoned with due
consideration for human nature, the
spring of youth and lovemaking, which
after all, exists in Christian youth
as well as Papan. And so the young
people triumphed over this saint and
returned by degrees to their practices,
and cavalier and lady, by lot, ex-
changed smiles and silken favors.
Balls and fetes were given in honor of
the festal day and some places the
tender bond endured for a year, ac
cording to the old Roman custom.
In those days valentines were pretty
gifts to some friend chosen for the
day. The lady valentines of the 18Th
and 18th centuries were honored no
by any anonymous verse, but by sub
stantial gifts.

A man in Connecticut gave doctor

him of this common, yet most obnoX-

The specialist gave him bottle Of
medicine and told him to use it.
The fool took the medicine home,
took one dose, put it on a shelf and
made no further effort to follow in
structions.
Three months later the medicine
still on the shelf he told a friend that
the specialist was a fake; that he had
paid him $50 and still had catarrh.

won't cure catarrh if you don't breathe

Furthermore, you don't need to give

be born who can write better pre-

Good Roads

Plans have been made by the State

lieved will insure the building of a
good road from the state line west to
Salt Lake City to connect with a
route across the state. The roads
leading into Colorado from the east
are in fair shape and the great thing
now is to have "A good road leading
westward-thr0ugh Utah.
This question was taken up with
the people of Grand Junction and all
other points and also with Utah state
officials. The plans proposed call for
the commencement OF the work in
connection with such Il road imme-
diatcly. and surveys Will be made.
When these are completed active
work Of construction will be com
mcHccd, and there seems to be little
doubt but that by the time ii trans

RADIO, Utah will have II good road into
Salt Lake City. This will enable
