| Show mable TABLE retrenchment IT ia is generally conceded that extravagance extra i va and love of display have wonderfully increased within the past few years among the people of the united states this ia Is not confined to the wealthy but among all classes there seems to be a constant effort to seem to be something more than their means warrant the tradesman and clerk of today to day are net content to live and appear in a style commensurate with their station in life as their predecessor of twenty or thirty years yeara ago but broadcloth jewelry and luxurious food must be had whether their incomes will stand the pressure or not noe this is a prolific fid source of evil both physically and morally disease of body ia is engendered and developed by it and their is no doubt that to this desire three fourths of the dishonesty peculations speculations and embezzlements embezzle ments so common in business circles today to day may be traced this disposition is not alone characteristic of the male sex but is cherished to an equal or greater extent by the ladies as may be seen by the elegance and luxury of their attire and adornments and among them it undoubtedly leads to an incalculable amount of immorality among the people of utah out crop pings of this tendency to extravagance auevery are very visible A marked change has crept over them in respect introspect to dress and diet during the jasti few yearb yeara the plain b but ut wholesome food necessitated by the their thein r circumstances in n the early days of the their r settlement here ia is not relished now as then and if all do not live luxuriously urious ly there ia is a growing disposition to do so at least among the great majority of the old oid settlers who have become tolerably well off the same is true with regard to dress there was a time alime in our history since our settlement in these valleys when almost all the clothing worn by male and female was of homemade home hame made material it was not so 80 elegant elegan tas AS the style of dress now prevailing vai val ling but it was comfortable and comely and besides there was no need for an extravagant outlay of means to 0 e uneit it but it is very different now gr procure u ur r people are no longer satisfied with homemade home made clothing but they are copying after the fashions of the world at large as far as their means will allow and smart and elegant attire is conall considered indispensable by many improvement is desirable and always commendable but extravagance ia Is foolish if not wicked and the necessity of suppressing it in dress and food ia is constantly dwelt upon by the first presidency and the elders in their teachings and revelations given by the lord in these last days are often quoted urging the latter day saints to let their dresses and adornments be the work of their own hands bands and for some few years the word of wisdom replete with the very best advice in reference to diet has been persistently urged upon the people it is on some points falling under the latter that we wish more especially to call attention at the present time A disposition to live in an unnecessarily luxurious lux rious manner is evinced by b y nearly all whose means will ILI iii the least allow of it and this is more especially visible in our social visits to and intercourse with each other then ever every y nerve seems to be strained to make a fine display and every delicacy possible regardless gard less of expense burdens the festive board this should be checked or in many ways waya it will result in evil we have little doubt that it is helping to check that one oae oneness ness of feeling that would otherwise be developed amongst usand us and which we are aiming after for many who like to pay social visits to their neighbors and friends and whose presence would oftentimes be welcome refrain reft miff elff through a feeling of pride which ia is very natural because their means prevent them from they consider a fair nir return far for the profuse hospitality with which they are treated chisin itself ua a great evil ovil toz tor that oneness one ness nesa of feeling BO so desirable and the prevention of class distinctions distinctions can never b be while there is la a an n a apparent p 1 pta t L re ht necessity for the continuance of such buch foolish display physically and financially too the evil consequences arising from such habits are very apparent the increase of bodily ills among the people here we believe belleve to be attributable in great part to departure from that simplicity of diet which prey proy prevailed idled in former years while in a community like ours where many men have such large families if not checked this tendency to extravagance will lead to great inconvenience hence werngard we regard retrenchment in these directions as one of the necessities essi ties of the times we were glad to receive rec ree give dive the other othe r baythe minutes
