than the soliciting of men by women.
"My heart fairly burned with Indig

advances and then to cause tbetr ar

who Insult women openly. Are women

New York't best citizens to be left un
protected, while the men are hedged
around and protected from the advances
of designing women? It teems to me
that It It a pretty weak-kneed man wbo

not men, need protection. At the po

about making any organized effort to

time there will be an organization of
women wbo will take the matter up

"How do you propose to go about this

We will employ some strong nerved
women and send them out in various
thoroughfares, followed by a detective

man who speaks to them, the police

to know who these Ineultert are."
When Captain Pickett of the West

In retard to the nroDOsed crusade, he
said:
"There It nothing that would give me

There are two reasons, cither one of
which ought to be conclusive with
every American citizen.
First: The trip from Denver to Utah
via Rio Grande Western, "Great Salt
Lake Route," it the grandest to be
found anywhere on the continent. No
European trip of equal lengtn can corn
par with it in variety and grandeur of
scenery and wealth of novel Interest.
Stcotul: You should go because, when
you have made this wonderful trip, you
will find Utah at the end of lfr-Utah,
one of the world's famous spots, and a
land of gold, silver, copper, Iron and
coal; of lofty mountains and fertile val-
leyt; of vineyards, fruits and flowers.
Salt Lake City, the capital, it of great
Interest on account of Its historical and
religious associations. Here are Hot
Thermal Springs, Warm Springs, Sul
phur Springs, Sanitarium, Parks,

She wore high-topped boots and a long
double-breasted frock coat, and foi

physician, who was making a round ol
the steerage, vaccinating ail tne be
tween-decka passengers who could no
show recent vaccination marks, ordereo
her to bare her arm. She refused, and
It was through the attention the refusal

wide world. It is richer in agricul

silver, copper. Iron. tin. etc., in abun-
ant quantities. It has, best of all,
health-giving climate, always temper
ate in summer and In winter. It has
hot sulphur springs, and is in fact one
large sanitarium. Utah is the ideal
place to build a home in which to

"Yes, sir," was the shy reply.
"Well, who am I, then?"

What C. A. Fatter Says.
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 31, 1895. The
Howard Medicine Company. Gentle
men: I desire to say to all who feel the
strength of their manhood slowly slip
ping away, whose ambition is at its
lowest ebb, whose mind is beclouded,
and the senses dulled, when you feel
dyspeptic, and lose your self-respect,
that your blood is out of order, and all
you need is some of Howard's Vegetone
Blood Powder to tone up your system.
It will act almost Instantly upon the
blood; you will feel the renewed life
and vigor coursing through your sys
tem; you will feel the old-time grip in
your hands; your mind will be as active
aa ever; your friends will observe the
flag of health flying In your face, and
you wUl feel like a new being. I have
not felt so well for five years as I do
since taking one package of your Blood
Powder, and I feel as strong and active
as ever. I weigh 15 pounds more than
ever In my life. The change Is so
marked that it is the subject of com'
ment when meeting my friends. 1
recommend Howard's Vegetone Blood
Powder to be, as I believe, the greatest
blood-purifier on earth.
