Callfomlans always tin; beM of boosters have Ioiik contended that Yoseinite valley Is tlie mi Iirenii! expres.slon of scenic loveliness. They hold that there is nothing lll;e tt on earth. Totbeni it Is "the valley whose conipellltiL' beauty the world claiowledes as snineiue." Hut Utah entluis- asts believe that when Zion's beauty is known to the public Yoseinite will be put in the second rank. Of course the new .Ion National park will hardly rank with Yoseinite as a national park, for the latter contains TUW-'U acres, while the former will have only 7fl,S(K) acies. liut the con test In loveliness between Yoseinite valley and Zlon canon Is likely to he close and Interesting. YollowMonu National park In Wyoming, Mon tana and Idaho, ifs evorjbody knows, was the tlrst national park to be established (1S7U) in the world. It Is our oldest and largest and most famous scenic natural park. Its geysers and bears have made Its nanie a worldwide household word. Yoseinite In California, established In 1890. Is scarcely less famous; all the world knows of Its wnterfalls and Its big trees the oldest and largest living things In the world. And Yoseinite valley. Its greatest beauty. Is familiar to every one through plctuies. It Is visited yearly by thou sands; th'is season the attendance was 5S,rGl. The proposed .ion National park lies In south ern Utah, about '3)0 miles south of Salt Lake City. The state lias made it accessible to the tourist by building 100 miles of automobile high way from I.und on the Salt Lake route. The Ar rowhead trail from Salt Lake City Is also avail able. President Tuft hi 1!M)!) created the Mun kuntiiweap national monument of 15.S10 ncrcH to preserve the wonderfully scenic nrea of the canon of the Itlo Virgin. In recent years other scenic canons were discovered, ntul in 1D18 Presi dent Wilson enlarged the national monument to 70,800 acres and changed its name to Zlon. In the debate over tlfc. Klon National park bill in the house Representative Welling of Utah siild In part: "This region obtained Its name Zlon canon be cause of tlie devout reverence of the Mormon pioneers who settled upon the Virgin river more than GO years ago. Its perpendicular walls pre sented an Impassable barrier to hostile tribes of Indians, who Infested these regions, and these people looked upon Zlon canon as n convenient and hospitable refugo when threatened by nt tuck from these troublesome Indian tribes. Zlon canon Is an extraordinary gorge cut from bril liantly colored sedimentary rocks by the north fork of the Virgin ,rlver. Its proportions are about en.ua! to those of Yoseinite valley, In Yo Hemlte'Natlonnl park; the walls aro several hun dred feet lower and tho nnon Is considerably narrower. In the cutting of the gorge, however, the torrentlnl stream and wind and rain have carved domes, spires, towers, nnd other curious forms that strikingly resemble many of the fea tures of Yosemlte valley. "Moro Interesting than tho carving of Zlon's cliffs Is their exquisite coloring. Red predomi nates, as It does In tho Grand canon In Arizona, hut there are amazing combinations of tbrown, black, nnd white colors with the red nnd with ench other. White sandstone Is superimposed on tho red strata, nnd other layers of tho red rock lie In turn upon the white. The notion of wnter upon the exposed surfaces of these rocks has produced a symphony of color thnt gives the canon Its greatest charm. The finishing touches are given by the forests of tho valley tloor nnd tho trees on the rim nnd in the niches of the nearly perpendicular canon walls." Until recently Zlon has been practically Inac cessible, nnd senrcely tens havo seen It where thousands hnvo seen Yoseinite. Hut Zlon's visi tors hnvo paid eloquent tribute. The Indians called It Munkuntuweap Land of flod because It was so beautiful. The tierce Mormon zealot nnmed It "Little Zlon" because of Its henv- Enly beauty. Away hack In the seventies ohn Wesley Powell of Grand canon fame Urns tempted far out of his way by the exceeding beauty of n temple of rock "lifting Its opalescent shoulders against the eastern sky." It was the vermilion body and shining white domo of the West Tcmplo of tho Virgin nt tho cntrnnco to Munkuntuweap. "Again wo are Impressed with the marvelous beauty of outline, the Infinite complication of these titanic buttes. It Is doubtful If In this re spect tho vnlley has Us equal. Not oven tho Grand canon offers n more varied spectacle; yot nil Is welded together In n superb ensemble." F. S. Dellenhaugh, topographer of the Powell party, wrote this on his second visit. "Nothing can exceed the wondrous beauty of Zlon canon," wrote O. K, Dutton. "In Its propor tions It Is nbout equal to Yoseinite, but In the nobility and benuty of Its sculptures there U no comparison. It Is Hyperion to Satyr." &T z?z&ir&zaRdE& Jack Lalt wroto a characteristic appreciation of Zlon ennon for a railroad administration book let, In which be snld: "Zlon canon Is an epic, written by Mother Na ture In her most ecstatic humor, Illustrated by Creation In Its most majestic manifestations, pub lished by God Almighty as an Inspiration to all mankind. Zlon canon is the most beautiful spot on this continent. I think I havo seen all tho famed show-places that the evolution of tho earth's formation has made. And of them all Zlon to me stands llrst, stands alone." Zlon has the double charm of form and color, nnd It Is hnrd to say which Is the more appealing. The entrance to the canon Is spacious and Im pressive. The course up the Itlo Virgin Is tor tuous and the variation of view and of formation of tho lofty walls Is great. At the end of six or seven miles of canon the wall nnrrows to the stream. What there Is beyond Is practically un known. Thus from the plateau above the visi tor may look down thousands of vertical feet Into the painted canon with Its river. From the river bank he may look up thousands of feet with a changing view at every turn of the canon. The entrance to the canon Is most Impressive. To the west rises the West Temple (7,050 feet), flanked by the Towers of the Virgin. Tho guar dian to the cast is the East Temple (7,000), flanked by the Watchman (0,!150), and Bridge mountain (0.C50). Then come the Streaked Wall on the west side nnd tho Brown Wall on tho enst side, topped respectively by tho Three Patriarchs and the Mountain of the Sun. Extraordinary fea tures of the wall formation Include El Gobernn dor, the Great Organ nnd the Temple of SInawnvn. Tho visitor finally conies to a point where the chasm Is more thnn 2,000 feet deep nnd the walls so nearly touch that ho looks up to see no sky. Tho walls arc practically vertical and parallel and wnrp In nnd out, thus cutting off the blue above. Here is revealed the secret of tho Making of Zlon, ns Is pointed out by Dr. G. K. Gilbert of tho United States geological survey. This chasm Is an example of downwurd erosion by sand-bearing water, which nets like the marble saw. The cut Is not entirely vertical, because tho current has carried the cutting sand to one side or tho other, and the cut undulates both in Its vertical and horizontal sections. The forms along the canon walls are extraor dinary. And the colors aie even more striking. The famous Vermilion Cliff of the Painted Desert here combines with tho White Cliff and wo seo n thousand feet of white Miperimposed on two thousand, feet of red. Itut this startling combina tion Is but the beginning of a veritable riot of color. Tho Vermilion Cliff rests on tho Painted Desert stratum 2150 feet of a deeper red set off by purple and mauve shales. Uelow this Is n hun dred feet of brown and gray conglomerate. Tho crowning touch Is the coloring of tho upper sum mits of tho White Cliff. Here there nro In places sovcral hundred feet of varicolored shales and limestones whoso seepage fantastically stulns tho glistening white. In consequence of the meeting of theso many colors Zlon Is as gorgeous us n Gypsy senrf, nnd sunrise nnd sunset produce un believable effects. For exumplo, tako the West Temple. From a foundation of mingled reds, yellows, browns, 4 grays and purples It rises nb rupllv 4.000 feet. The body Is a brilliant red. The upper third Is white. The huge mass Is so perfect In conformation that It suggests the work of a titan architect. And on top of the lofty central rectangle rests a squared cap of red above the glistening white. Across the cannon, and slight ly to the north, rising between two peaks of deepest umber looms the great silvery dome of the Eastern Temple, clothed In colorings like to Its western sis ter. This rounds to n broad summit upon which Is mounted a symmetrical enp of that samo beautiful hloodllke sandstono formntion. Just beyond the East and West Temples nro ranged three cone-shaped mountains, wildly rug ged In their outlines and facing another court of totally different type from that which fronts the Western Temple. Here again has Illblc history contributed the titles, for tho threo penks aro known ns the "The Patriarchs" and tho space nt their base tho "Court of the Patriarchs!" A little farther on Is another trio which occu pies the eastern wall. Of decidedly different for mation and coloring, they aro called the "Threo Brothers." A great white dome Is known as the "Mountain of tho Sun." Here the breaks In both ennon wnlls have brought nbout a most Interesting ef fect, for this benutiful mountain catches the first glint of the rising initl receives the last kiss of the setting sun. Still nnother fenturo of the "Mountain of the Sun" Is tho tint of the afterglow that changes Its chnlky summit Into n rosy dome. Many Intersecting ennons nnd the tortuous course of tlie main canon give great vnrlcty to the formations. Possibly El Gobernndor is the gem of them nil. Standing nt a turn of the ennon, Its mighty mass rises sheer 3,000 feet from tho creek thnt skirts Its base, this pile presents n picture unsurpassed. Gray nt Its bnse, it clears to u glistening white with n summit that terminates In n great tabic. Far up on one of Its faces there hangs n wonderful natural bridge, tho top of which hns never been pressed by tho foot of man. Beyond El Gobernndor the canon twists nnd turns until It widens out Into the most weird of all its blznrre features. This Is the "Great Tem ple of SInawnvn," which occupies u vast amphi theater shut In by wills of brilliantly colored rock towering 2,000 feet nbovo Its floor. Hero tho rippling creek horseshoes nround a most remark ably formed sandstone object that closely resem bles a Buddha seated on his throuo. Legend has given this placo ns the locality whore the pre historic people of this southwestern land gathered to do reverence to SInawnvn, their ruling deity. Tho plncc fills the bill. If ever there was a spot where weirdly mystic Incantations and wildly Impressive ceremonials would seem to accurately (It Into the surroundings, It Is this same rock bound pocket in the depths of Zlon. Just beyond tho prehistoric temple tho canon enters Its narrows until the creek occupies every foot of the floor and feathery waterfalls dash down from moss and lichen covered terraces. As If these were not enough, It lu known thnt there are other beauties possibly of even moro wonderful quality. Secretary Lane of tho In terior department, In recommending tho bill, wroto : "I hnvo dwelt particularly upon Zlon canon be cause It Is now so readily accessible nnd because It Is actually being used as n tourist resort, but them nro other canons In tho reservation that aro bigger and oven moro beautifully colored. Still more remain to bo entered and explored. In time they will nil ho open to the public. Further more, there nro In tho reservntlon mountains, wa terfalls, natural bridges, ancient cliff dwellings, and numerous other features Interesting to tho tourist and exceedingly valuablo to tho scientist and student," Yosemlte tho Beautiful apparently must look to Its laurels.

The garden of Getbseinane an luclosure containing olive and llg trees, beyond Kldron, about three-fourths of a mile from Je rusalem. The name menus olive-press. Tlie inline Is slgiilllcaut of tlie occasion. Edershelm says It Is an emblem of trial, distress and agony. Perhaps the garden was owned by one of Jesus' friends. 2. Ills companions (v. n.r). He took with lilui tlie 11 disciples, that they might share, so far as possible, this sorrow with him. Being a real human being he craved sympathy. Ho bade them watch with hlni. While bo knew thnt he must "trond the wine-press 'alone." he hail a keen appreciation of sympathy so far as those who loved him could give It. The behavior of the disciples shows the utter limitation of human sympathy. 3. Ills grent sorrow (v. fM). This Ih the same as the "cup" In verse 30. It wns not primarily the prospect of physlcnl suffering thnt wns crushing him; It wns the suffering ns a sin bearer the sensations of his pure soul coming Into contact with the awful sin nnd guilt of tho world. Only pure nnd refined natures enn understand this. In addition tothls, there wns the judg ment stroke from the holy God ns tt fell upon his Son Instead of the sin ner. God caused the Iniquities of tho world to strike upon Jesus (II Cor. 5:21; Isn. 53:0). II. Chrltt Praying (vv. 35-12). Though ho prized human sympnthy In the hour of supreme need, his only recourse was prayer. The sympathy of our friends Is helpful, but In tho great crises of life we enn find help only when we go to God In prayer. "Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray" (James 5:13). 1. The first prayer (vv. 35-38). (1) Ills posture (v. 35). He fell on his face, prostrate on the ground. In the hour of our grent need wo nnturnlly prostrate ourselves before God. This Is a becoming posture. (2) His peti tion (v. 30). "Take nwny this cup from me." By the cup Is meant his death on the cross. He did not desire to escnpe tho cross. No doubt It was most grievous to him to face Its shame, but ho pressed on, knowing thnt for this cause ho had come into the world (John 12:27. 28: cf. Heb. 2:14). He prayed that the "hour might pass from him," that Is, thnt his life might be prolonged to dlo on the cross nt the nppnlnted time to mnke ntonement for the sins of tho world. The burden wns so great thnt It seemed his life would be crushed out. His prayer wns henrd (Heb. 5:7). When God henrs our prayers ho grants the petition desired (I John 5:14-15). Angels ministered to him, giving the necessnry grace to endure to the end (Luke 22:43). (3) His resignation (v. 30). His will wns In subjection to tho Father. He knew that his denth on the cross wns tho will of God the Father; for he was the Lamb slain from (he foundation of tho world. (4) The disciples rebuked (v. 37). no singled out Peter, since he had been the most conspicuous In pro claiming his- loyalty (John 33:38). Though he would go with him to denth, he could not watch one hour. (5) Ex hortation to tho disciples (v. 38). "Wntch nnd pray, lest ye enter Into temptation." The only way to be able to stnnd In the time of trial Is to be watching and praying. Jesus knew that although the disciples mennt well, they would fall In the trial unless aid ed from obove. The flesh Is too weak to stand the strain. 2. The second prayer (vv. 30, 40). Ho withdrew tho second time from his disciples and uttered the same words In prayer. Th,ls was not vain repeti tion. It Is proper to repeat our re quests. He found the disciples asleep nnln. Their shame and confusion was more marked than nt first. 3. Tho third prayer (vv. 41, 42). He uttered tho same words In his third prayer (Matt. 20:44). Ho now tells the disciples to sleep on nnd tako their rest, ns tho hour had como for his betrayal. There Is such a thing as being asleep when wanted nnd awaking when It Is 'too late. If the disciples had been praying they would not have fallen asleep.

"I suffered from female trouble which cauood mo much Buffering, and two doctors decided that I would hava to go through an operation before I could got well. "My mother, who had been helped by LydiaE.Pinkham'a Vegetable Com pound, advised ma to try it before sub mitting to an opera tion.

Sometimes there are serious condi tions where a hospital operation is the only alternative, but on the other hand eo many women have been cured by this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after doctors havo said that an operation was necessary every woman who wants to avoid an operation should give it m fair trial before submitting to such a trying ordeal. If complications exist, write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass., for advice. The result of many years experience is at your service. FLU CAUSED PRESIDENT WILSON'S SICKNESS Physlclnns clnlm that President WIN Bon Is suffering from neurasthenia or nervous exhaustion. This, they claim, Is the nftor effect of nn nttnek of In fliienzn which ha had Inst April, whllo ho wns In Paris attending the Pcnco conference. There nro hundreds of thousands of pcoplo todny who nro still suffering some bad effect from last year's attack of Influenza. Doctors aro ngreed that the Flu is coming bnchthls Fall, nnd now that cooler weather Is here, they are afraid it will break out any time. Even if ono recovers from tho Flu, tho after effects are terrible. Tho only sane thing to do Is to prevent tho Flu. Influenza can be prevented; last year's results provo that. As a pre ventive for Flu, Turpo has been a pronounced Biiccess. Turpo is nn effectlvo germicide, combining the old-fashioned remedies of turpentine (which hns always been known as the best homo germicide), camphor and menthol In n puro mineral base. These Ingredients huvo long been recognized as effective germicides, ns well ns hav ing r&ally wonderful qualities In re lieving colds and congestions. Snuff a llttlo Turpo up tho nostrils several times n day, and tho Flu germs will have little chance of getting a lodging nnd breeding place. Many physicians and hospitals uso and recommend Turpo. The fact that there have been cases of "flu" already reported makes It im portant that you prepnro now. Buy a thirty cent jar of Turpo, while your druggist hns n Btipply on hnnd, and use ns directed. Last year drug gists could not supply the demand. Remember thnt Turpo Is a preventive, not a euro for Influenza. Take care ot yourself. Adv.
