War Work in France

Women all over the land realize
more and more that their work at
home will help the men at the
Front. 1t involves great sacrifices,
hard work and unusual physical
strength. OF course, no woman
cab do good work if her health is
impaired, if she suffers from nerv-
business, backache, severe pains at
regular or irregular intervals, dizzy
spells or headache. Thousands OF
women in the United States have
overcome their sufferings and have
been cured of woman's ills by DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t
is an herbal tonic which is not
for its ingredients arc
printed on the wrapper. 1t has had
fifty years of practical demonstra-
ton and successful results in most
of the delicate arrangements and
weaknesses of women. Buy it NOW:

Food Supply Short and Prices Very
High Owing TO Drought.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press-)
STOCKHOLM. June 17.-Food sup
ply is so short and prices so high that

The last ration Of coffee issued five
weeks ago amounted to 3H ounces fo-
each person and the same amount OF
inferior lard was issued month ago.
About one ounce of butter is issued to
each person once a week.
Virtually the only vegetables on the
market are spinach and asparagus.

est cuts of boiling beef s1.20 pound.
mutton and veal outlets 81 a pound

UTAH,S BIRTHDAY TODAY
Original Mormon Pioneers Entered
Salt Lake Valley IL Years Ago.

By Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY, July 24.-Utah
today is celebrating the anniversary
Of the advent of the Mormon pioneers
into the state and the Salt Lake valley.
Patriotic exercises were to be held in
the Salt Lake Tabernacle and the day
was generally observed throughout the
state.
1t was II years ago that the original
band Of Mormon pioneers. under the
leadership Of President Brigham
Young. came through Emigration
canyon into Salt Lake valley and be-
gan preparations to settle here.
'This is the place we will make our
home" are the words credited to Brig
ham Young when he set eyes on the
vast valley, and the work of reclaim
ing the land and of planting crops was
begun Immediately.
Since then. July "a has been recog-
nized as the natal day Of Utah. The
advance scouts of the Mormon party
had entered the valley two days be-
fore, and when they reported their
discovery of the valley, President
Young pushed on and reached the fu-
ture home Of the Pioneers two days
later. First church services were
held the following Sunday. and they
are said to have been the first Chris
tian services ever held in Utah

THE sOULLEss CORPORATION

"Soulless corporation" is an ex-
preston that has come to be almost a
commonplace with the American peo-
pie. Whether or not the appellation
is deserved is a question to be an
swered by the past.
In this time of national crisis, that
the corporations as well as the indi-
viduals who control them have re-
sponded nobly to the demands of the
government is beyond question
Many of the most important depart
ments of war work are under the di-
rection OF corporation chiefs such as
Mr. Schwab of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. All are making their
contribution toward winning the war.
