PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS. Many Union county people will read with interest the text of President Joseph F. Smith's attack qn modem dress for women, Riven at the clos ing session of the recent L. D. S. con ference in Suit Lake. The Deseret News cover the attack in these words: Scathing denunciation by Prest. Joseph F. Smith of the prevailing fashions in women's dress, together with vehement renrcach for the "daughters of -Zion" that permit them selves to be led into "imitation of the garb of the demi-monde" constituted a dramatic conclusion last night of the semi-annual conference of the Deseret Sunday School Union. In an assembly that filled to capacity . the tabernacle, including the choir seats, P; est. Smith pronoun .red tile late fash ions for women the "products of houses of infamy," and pleaded with the girls and women of the church to refrain from their adoption. f ollowing his regular closing no- dress at the conference, in which he had declaied the gathering tho larg est in tho history of the Sunday School movement, Prest. Smith begged indulgence to touch upon a topic foreign to Sunday School af fairs. Without further preliminnries, ho launched upon an arraignment of modem fashions, declaring himself ashamed of them, and adding that their creation was wholly for the pur pose of inviting licentiousness and for the gratification of the lust of scoun drels who stand ready to defile any thing nnd eveiything sacred." "You will pardon me if. I speak for a moment on a topic entirely foreign to Sundav School work r.nd Sunday School subjects," said Prest. Smith af ter concluding his remarks about the progress of the Sunday School move ment. "I wish to enter my protest against the prevailing fashions for women. Fashions that are not only ridiculous but shameful, suggestive and disgraceful to the modesty of men who have any -regard for themselves and womankind. "To say that I am ashamed of the clothing of some of tho daugh,ta:8 of Zion is to sneak my mind mildly. I know I stand condemned by those that love the fashions of Babylon. "The fashions worn by some of our women today had their origin in tha houses of 'infamv in Paris nnd London and other great centers. Innocent people ftere and elsewhere fall into the habit of imitating those fallen. infamous- women in their manners ot dress, creatures who live by enticing the lust of men. Our girls. have not wisdom enough to stop imitating these creatures, and many of them are wearing the fashions created for the gratification of the lust of scoundrels that stand ready at any time to defile everything sacred. "I enter my protest against my daughters following such fashions, and I thank God that thus far none of them have. I pray that our other grils and women may refrain from 'adopting them r.Iso.

One million feet of lieavy construction timber is being shroped to New York from Portland by Sullivan & Forbes, whole sale lumber dealers of this city and New York. ' The material will make the journey across the continent by rail and tho, freight rate on this class is $24.75 a thousand feet. The fact that the con sumers ire willing to pay the rail rate, is taken as indicative of the strong demand for large timbers on the Atlantic coast. iWith the opening of the Panama canal it is expected that a large busi ness in Douglas fir on the Atlantic coast will be woiked up providing vessels are obtainable.

GEO, PALMER LUMBER COMPANY Retail Dept. Phone Main 8 When you S'ake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it gen erally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidncva in their effort to filter It from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels j re moving all tha body's urinous waste, elsi you hare backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you havo rheumatic twinges. Tlie urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physi cian at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with ltthia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder ; weakness. Jad Salts is a life savor for regular ' meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot j injure and makes a delightful, euer , veaceot lithia-witer drink. h8r fh VvTbflX II mf v Ah w 0 II THOMAS A.
