I HEARTACHES THAT COULD i BE AVOIDED The Standard has urged that fq t.cruls be made less expensive; that the custom of bringing caskets In rar est flowers be reduced to a more reasonable tribute of a few modest bouquets. Our articles on that sub ject have brought to our desk the following, from a prominent woman writer of Ogden, which Is a protest against mnny unnecessary heartaches ; i d nerve strains that are a part of our present-day funeral customs: Editor Standard: I heartily re spond to your editorial of a few days .-?o, the headlines of which read as lollows I "Mowers on the Caskets of the Dead." If the civilized world could only rcnllze that funeral ceremonies mean I i little, they probably would do nw;i with the old custom to a great extent We know funeral ceremonies may do more harm than good. For instance, a mother who has sat at the bedside of her dying child for nights and days, endures such a phys Icsl and mental strain that lu1 should be spared any further anxiety and rest and care should be bestowed : t-pon her. But, Instead of this, she must now call on all her vitality and get ready for the funeral Her Friends come and dress her in black from head to foot. She can hardly hart- up under the strain, but she must. It ia the custom of old. She if. now led into a carriage that brings her to the church. Here she is met at the door by The casket, t'.rat encloses her beloved child, as it is carried into the church, and, at the same time a solemn strain of music comes to her ear which brings such sorrow into her heart that she I is almost ready to break down. But she holds herself up and staggers ; into her seat Here in front of her again she sees the casket, now cov ered with flowers and a minister en j ters with a sad face, speaks a good jl many comforting words. The public observes that the mother is ready j' to faint and she does faint The. I strongest in the family are at the i verge of collapse. The church cere jj monies are over and now she i6 once more back in the carriage and, in ) a slow pace, driven to the cemetery, : where a still greater shock awaits II her There she see3 her child low ered into the earth, where It will I rest forever. Is -not this shock great enough to break her health complete- Here is another case a mother, father, sister or brother is dying. IJelatives are notified. They must jl come to the funeral and pay their last tribute to the dead, where as a isit to the lMng was an impossi billty. j An aged mother waits pattenth for her son to come. She wants to put J her arms around his shoulder and I her hands into his and say. "My son, 1 am proud of you " But no, he can't ccme. His business and other duties keep him from coming But as soon j as he hears of her death, he comes; II for what0 The funeral. He can't 1 see in those closed eyes the longing 1 the mother had for him Why should I we not do more for the living and ji less for the dead'' )' It makes very little difference if a certain rich man is buried In a ! costly coffin, for during only a few days will his friends and the news , papers make their remarks concern- ing the costly burial Then all that will be forgotten and It will matter little how he was laid to rest for only his good deeds will live beyond , his grave. When Jesus said that it is more I difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven than 'it is for a I camel to pass through the needle s 1 eye. Ho could not have meant that a rich man would be punished in a fu- ture world for the crime of being rich. He must, rather, have meant I that the riches of the rich man are ! on almost insurmountable wall ; around him which shuts him out from I the kingdom of Heaven that love nad I unselfishness may create on earth i For surely there is a kingdom of Heaven here upon earth a kingdom Into which all children are born and in which all who have kept them- selves simple hearted, free and In I' "silk 1 HOSE What is more appreciated by mother, father, brother or sister for a CHRISTMAS GIFT than a pair of our fine silk hose.

It is a kingdom of stars, winds, green grass and troes, of sym pathy, of unselflshnfiHs, of little kind ltneRf, wholesome thinking nnd clean living, and above nil of brotherhood. Let us live up to this thought and give less attention to funeral cere monies Let us buy inexpensive cof fins. This will discourage the cof fin trust from manufacturing costly ones and charging ten times as much a;- they are really worth. This heavy I expense brings such a hardship on most of the people that It Is really a double, calamity And In most in stances a large doctor bill awaits the afflicted.

BETJSCHBLL on SALT IS SOLD AS BOUILLON Do not buy the bouillon cubes ex pecting to get a cheap nutritive con centrated meat essence Such Is the substance of a bulletin just issue! by the United States department of agriculture, after an investigation which brought out the fact that one half to three-quarters of the com mercial bouillon cubes consists of ta ble salt The American people have been faked by many food products put out by our big manufacturing concerns, and this bouillon product is one of them. The good home-made soup is rec ommended as cheaper, and vet more nutritious, than the cubes from the packing houses. It is fortunate that of late yars j the pure food laws and the acttvlt) I of the department of agriculture have I stood between the consumer and the unscrupulous makers of Impure food products Before the pure food laws were en.K t-'il two-thirds of the goods on the shelves of any grocery store were in small or large degree adulter ated, a ii ft in many of the articles there were poisonous substances. And yet many years of vigorous campaign ing by those committed to the pure food propaganda were necessary to bring about the legislation necessary to protect the American people from the low cunning of conscienceless manu facturcrs. It is onh within the past four years that the state of Utah made any determined move to check the sale of impure foods within the state. no WARNING ISSUED BY THE POLICE The New York police by virtue of long experience with holiday thugs and fakirs, have prepared a list of "Don'ts" that should be observed even by the people of Ogden "Don't receive and pay for C. O. D. packages until you have examined their contents. "Don't display money. "Dori't leave your handbag in the baby carriage under the pillow. "Beware of persons who call after the delivery' of a package, represent ing that the package has been de livered by mistake "Don't purchase jewelry on the street "Don't carry your purse in your j hip pocket. "Don't be hoodwinked by any per Bon who claims you have dropped your handbag and shows jou a pock etbook containing money. Be sure that you have your pocketbook, for this is a swindling game. "Don't leave the room of your apartment in which a messenger de livers a package to 6how its contents to another member of the family and permit the deliver messenger to await your return. "Don't enter into coin matching games on the street " oo MANY PLACES AFFLICTED WITH CRIMINALS That no one place has a monopoly on highway robberies and other forms of lawlessness is brought homo to us daily in the columns of our exchanges. Here Is the San Fran c'sco Chronicle calling on tho police puthoritles of that city to make life somewhat more secure. The Chron icle even indulges in an editorial ap peal in which it expresses lack ol confidence in the police, saying- "The increasing number of high way robberies in this cltv occasion ally In broad daylight 8 not neces sarily endured "If the thugs can be so closelv v. atched elsewhere as to keep them in restraint, it is certainly possible to do the same here "With us there is the regular story or robbery, with or without murder end the statement that "Detectives A and B have been assigned to the case " That is the last we hear of that case and the next is a repetition of the same story. "What we desire is to be able to walk the streets and particularly the most important and best lighted Rtreete in safety. And that we can not do at the present time." oo HOME PRODUCTS AND WOOLEN MILL8. Next Wednesday is "Utah Products Day," and the prospects are the occa Blon will be fittingly observed by the merchants making unusual displays of Utah goods and the people Insisting on buying ly home-made articles. The Manufacturers Association ot Utah has Issued a list of 600 manu facturing institutions in this state producing almost every thing that goes to supply the homes in this region To that long list, the consumers should have no difficulty in confiu lng his purchases during one day at least. This "Utah Products Day" should I be the beginning of many similar on Which the gospel of home-buyine should be not only preached but pruc tired This part of the United States has a great opportunity presented in the direction of building tip itH manufac turing Industries, Great quantitlee of raw materials are produced in Utah but only a small percentage of the manufactured articles consumed in the state Is made here. And this reminds us that the pro duction of woolen goods is a line ol manufacture that should he estab lished in Ogden. The Prove woolen mills, under the new management have made a success and a statement issued within the last few days indi cates that the concern has more or ders tor goods than can be filled One -l the directors has said that there should be more woolen mills in I (an aud has even spoken of Ogden an an excellent site for a branch of th industry. Why not. on "Utah Prod ucts Day," formulate plans looking to the establishing of the manufactiin ol woolens in this city'' on BAMBERGER CARS II COLLISION NEAR LAYTON Saturday night nt about 0:30 a head-on collision occurred on the Bamberger road a short distance north of Layton, which resulted in ' the injury of n dozen persons, among them being a number from Cedn Those who were injured were riding on the car bound north which lett I Si 11 Lake at 9 o'clock.

AT THE OGDEN THEATRE The audience that filled the Ogden theatre to capacity last niht, went nway as well satisfied with the per formance or "At Cripple Creek" b the Arington-Greenwell players, as any audience that ever witnessed a stock performance in the city. With their road experience in the first production of the famous Hal Reid play, standing them in good stead, Mayme Annglon and Thomas Pawley carried the performance to t brilliant buccess In the roles or Maggie Mason and Joe Mayfield, they held the big scenes with fins dra matic effect and in the lesset dls played their ability to an equally good advuntage. The work of boil received enthusiastic applause from the first night's audience The other members of the com pany were well op to their different roles and rounded off the production nicely Helen Conemac, as Belle Gordon, gave a most acceptable char . teiixatlon and Florence Elsen play ed "Ann Marbury" in her usual care ful manner Mr Moran made a big hit in the character role of the negro accom plice of the two vllllans. which were capably played by Dick Tracy and A. G. t'ole Orvllle Spurrier and Robert Pawley, as Reginald LJarwood and Wahketah, were well cast, the former character being mc.t naturally play ed and the latter an exceptionally good character delineation Little Casey also came in for a big share of the applause, playing "Little Tattoo" with a fine childish zest. The play is in four acts and deals with early ljfc n the western mining country in a most real manner with excellent scenic effects and lines that keep the audience tenso with lutcr- 6 ( st that is broken at frequent lnter vals with applause or laughter.

C. Dec. 8 Com mercial bouillon cubes contain little or no real food value, say the chem ical exports of the department of ay rlculture who have just completed an examination and report on the suhject They declare that the home-made pro duct is far more valuable and less ex pensive than the manufactured one. Tho commercial cubes, the report continues, contain from one-half to three-quarters of table Bait and as their price ranges from 10 cents to 20 cents an ounce, "purchasers are buying salt at a very high price " Tho cubes are said to be valuable as flu voting agents and that they do con tain a small quantity of muscle build ing material. According to the analysis of these cubes, besides common salt which constitutes from 49 to 72 per cent ot th total weight, the amount of meat extracted ranges from eight per cent in the poorest brands to 2S per cent in the very best. Plant or vegetable extract constitutes from :J to JO per cent. This is useful for flavoring but has slight.
