ONE OBJECT LES
SON IN SUGAR

Official figures published by the
British Board of Trade show that
sugar leads the list of food pro-
ducts, prices of which have risen
since the war began. The advance
IN the cost of sugar is 68 per cent
against SO per cent for flour, 40
per cent for bread and SO per cent
for meat.
British consumers had to pay
this increase in price because the
United Kingdom is dependent upon
foreign countries for sugar, through
failure to encourage sugar grow
ing in it's own colonies and home
territory.
During this same period the price
of sugar in Berlin, Vienna and
Moscow showed little increase be-
cause Germany, Austria Hungary
and Russia are sugar growing coun-
tries.
What is the moral for the u. s.
| A.? Retain the tariff on imported
sugar and develop home production.

In order to keep the harness soft,
piiable, and strong, use a good pre-
pared harness oil, such as Kneadsfoot,
says Prof. L. r. HUMPHREYS Of Farm
Mechanic department Of the Utah
Agricultural College. Do not use
linseed oil or other such oils for this
purpose as they do no good and are
often injurious, besides making the
harness very disagreeable to handle.
When applying the harness oil use a
cloth dampener with the oil, or a
small soft brush which is still better.
Do not use too much oil; jush what the
leather will absorb is all that is need
ed, and If more than this is used it
is only wasted. In few hours after
oiling go over the harness with dry
cloth and wipe off all the surplus oil
and bend and work the leather to
make it soft and pliable.

THE LAST PIONEER GONE.

Uncle John Henderson, our last or
iginal pioneer, passed away here oil
Wednesday morning about 2 o'clock
a. m. He had been quite sick for a
week or two and his death was no
surprise, as he has been too feble to
get out for some time. His last pub
lie appearance was at the Pioneer eel
ebration on January 18th, when he
made short address to the people.
One by one the members of the
company who pitched camp here Ga
years ago have been called home, I'M
til now the last one has laid down the
burdens of life and gone from us, to
meet perhaps those comrades of other
days, when life was struggle for ex-
istence, Injuries unknown, and the
only pleasures were those of the sim
plest nature.
Uncle John had WONDERFUL men,
DRY and was able in his 18th year TO
write several hundred pages Of inter
esting matter pertaining to his early
life and manhood. We are sorry to
see him go, as all felt that he was the
last link that connected us with the
original pioneers, and their great la
Dor in our valley.
Funeral arrangements have not
been made at this writing.

al sentiment at this place when We

THE FASTING FAD.
A Most Valuable Remedy that is Of
ten Abused.
(By DR.. r. r. Daniels.)

(By DIR. II. H. Damels.)
The recent death by starvation Of
the California tailor who tasted for
over sixty days, illustrates the great
harm TO come from overriding a good
remedy. There is no question but
what no small part of our ills are
caused either directly or indirectly by
overeating and improper eating;
hence going without food for short
time removes the real cause of many
of our illnesses and assists the cure.
But the man who fasts to such an
extent as to lower the vitality and
deplete the tissues is carrying fasting
to an extreme; such treatment will
do much harm.
When to Fast.
The most valuable use for fasting
is in our acute illnesses and minor
disorders. A good per cent. Of such
sickness is the direct result of over
indulgence in food, hence a rest for
the stomach and liver, which also
means a rest for the kidneys and
heart, will permit the body to unload
the surplus food and to bring about
cure. Furthermore, when we are
i'll from any cause the actual con-
sumption of food by the body is
greatly diminished; the vital forces
are busy in eliminating the disease,
in restoring the normal state Of af-
fairs. Under such conditions we
should not hamper the cure by taking
food.
How to Fast.
There is no harm to come from
fasting for a day for the relief Of a
cold or an attack Of Indigestion, and
still doing the usual work, providing
the work is not unusually hard phys
ically. But If one is TO fast for a
longer tilne than a day, as a rule all
physical effort should be avoided;
frequently 1t Is best to rest in bed
with heat to the feet and plenty of

MRS. MARY A. WINNER CALLED.

Mrs. Mary A. WINNER, who ba,
been visiting in Ogden with her son
Warren for some months, died at the
nome of the latter on Friday, March
10Th, of heart failure.
When the news of her death reached
here the family were Frustrated with
grief. II was known that she had
been quite sick since leaving here but
the doctor thought she was improy-
ing and would soon be able to return
home. However, it was not to be and
the blow was more severe on the fam
lily on account of not having the priv
llege OF being near her in her last sick
ness-having no idea that the final
summons was so near-but only look
ing forward to the time when she
would be with them again.
The remains were accompanied here
by her son Warren and daughter Mrs.
G. w. Cleghorn Of Salt Lake.
Funeral services were held on Mon
day, March 10Th, at l p. m. The
meeting house was filled with rela-
tives OF the deceased and sympathiz-
iHk liItIuS.
Pres. l.. N. Marsden, Charles Ad-
ans, John Stevens, Morgan Richards
and Bishop James l.. Adams were the
speakers, and they all testified of the
noble character of the deceased, of
her kindness to all, her devotion to her
home and family, and of her unselfish-
ness.
The choir furnished appropriate
singing, other musical numbers being
a duet by L. j. Adams and Miss Ada
McGregor, the latter also singing q
solo.
T. ID. Adams offered the opening
prayer, Walter C. Mitchell, the bene-
diction and Thomas T. Durham the
dedicatory prayer.
Many beautiful floral offerings were
placed on the rich casket, which con-
tanned the remains.
Aunt May A." as she was affec-
tionally called, will be missed greatly
by the family, immediate friends and
by the public at large, who know her
for her kind ways, large heart and
unselfish nature.
