MAKES PHYSICAL WRECKS OF MANY FOOLISH
PERSONS SHOULD BE A TIME FOR SIMPLE
DIET AND ENJOYMENT OF OUTDOOR
LIFE.

"The Vacation Habit" is a good one to get if you get it right. We need rest and relaxation at certain times of the year. Rational rest means a change of employment, not mere loafing. There is need of some wise man who does not write guide books for steamships and railways to tell people how to spend a "vacation." Many people plunge headlong and with furious haste into the vacation period and come back to the store, the office, the home, injured in mind and body. It takes them from two to four weeks to recover. They have taken little rational exercise and have tried to eat up everything on the menu of a "summer resort hotel." Quite often the hotel physician has to be called. He is generally a callow-looking youngster with incipient chin whiskers, just graduated from a medical college, and has a "pull" with the hotelkeeper. His usual charge is five dollars per visit.

The rational vacation that is to bring health, strength and new life means a return to nature, not only in outdoor pastimes, but in diet. Change of food and water plays havoc with many a stomach. To insure a healthy condition of the body and to gain health and strength from the vacation period no food can compare in cleanliness, digestibility and nutritive value with Shredded Whole Wheat. Heated in the oven to restore crispness and served with hot or cold milk or cream the Biscuit is a never-failing safeguard against those stomach and bowel disorders that make a vacation in July or August one of memory's nightmares. It keeps the stomach sweet and clean and the bowels healthy and active. It is equally strengthening and palatable for any meal of the day and is delicious in combination with fruits or creamed vegetables. Triscuit is the Shredded Whole Wheat Wafer, an ideal food for light housekeeping, for campers, picnics, for excursions on land or on sea.

Two problems in Utah fields are thus named by a Utah pastor:

I. Removals which are going steadily on. A few weeks ago we lost a man and wife, who though not Presbyterians were very useful in our work and constant in attendance. The man was manager of a large business house belonging to a company of which President Joseph F. Smith is president. While Smith seemed satisfied with the manager the Mormon people here made continual efforts to make it unpleasant for him, in that way best understood by people born and bred in intrigue. His place is now occupied by a man who will pay tithing.

2. A tacit understanding that the person who attends gentile meetings is at a disadvantage in business and social matters. T have had some unusual experiences recently.

For example, during March I was called to attend the funeral of an old apostate in Salina. He came to Utah with Brigham Young's party in 1847. He joined the Mormons in Missouri, of which state he was a native. After being here several years, doing some hard work and enduring much for the cause, his father was killed by a Mormon Indian and he killed the Indian. For this Brigham "cut him off." This turned him into a Mormon-hater. He was a polygamist. His children from both wives are people of position and respectability, generally non-Mormons. The funeral was held in the Mormon meeting-house and conducted by the bishop, but I preached the sermon to about three hundred people, largely Mormons. I knew more about the gospel than the deceased and confined myself mostly to that.

Not only do we ship every product of the world's factory, loom and shop that is demanded in the various missionary fields, but we also possess unequalled export shipping facilities and special low through-freight rates not enjoyed by any other house engaged in supplying American goods to American residents abroad.

For example, while the regular tariff, Chicago to San Francisco, is $3.00 per 100 lbs., we obtain for our customers on any and all kinds of goods, regardless of measurement or bulk, a fixed rate of $1.75 per 100 lbs. Chicage to Shanghai, Hongkong, Kobe, Yokohama and Manila, via. fast freight and Pacific liners. No other firm can do this. We get this rate by shipping solid carloads to the Orient. We are the only firm in America enjoying an export business large enough to secure the special $1.75 rate.

We prepay all freight, ship on through bill of lading, and guarantee safe arrival at foreign ports.

In 30 days we can land your orders at Oriental and Australasian ports.

We ship more goods direct to missionaries all over the world than do all other houses in America combined. Thousands of missionaries, and other residents of foreign countries, get practically all their supplies from us-everything from steam engines and saw mills to infant's outfits.

We know how to pack for the small boats and coolies of China, Korea and Siam, the carriers of the Kongo and Niger, the caravans of Persia, and the heat and perils of India.

We have built up our business by saving our customers' money.

New missionaries under appointment to any field are invited to visit our store, familarize themselves with the kind and class of goods other workers in the same field are ordering, and thus learn how to buy their outfits intelligently.

It is of great importance to the treasurers of all the Boards that when money is sent to them, the name of the church from whence it comes, and of the presbytery to which the church belongs, should be distinctly written, and that the person sending should sign his or her name distinctly, with proper title, e.g., Pastor, Treasurer, Miss or Mrs., as the case may be. Careful attention to this will save much trouble and perhaps prevent serious mistakes.
