Mrs. r. G. McNiece then talked to
the assembly on the relation of hy-
giene to temperance. The speaker
showed how close the connection is and
stated that it was useless to look for
perfect souls in bodies that are not
whole. Mrs. McNiece laid great stress
on the need of keeping the skin clean
by frequent bathing, and suggested
that some effort might be made by the
w. G. T. Il. women to secure the es-

about a. public bath by informing the
assembly that as the Warm Springs is
controlled by the city and as only a
very small revenue is derived from its
lease a. demand should be made for its
use for the general public. Mrs. Allen
hoped that the w. @. t. q. or some
other woman's organization would take
the matter up. Going to her subject,
Mrs. Allen said, "The most important
thing is the protection of the child in
the home We must teach them tenn
perance first by precept. and then by
example. We must preach, preach, but
not by placing children up In a corner
and announcing a sermon. The wrong
in the world must be spoken of, else
how are they to avoid it,
Referred to Roberts Case.
Mrs. Allen then spoke of the mothers
in Utah that have. received so much at,
tention by newspapers and public alike.
II feel that the Roberts case ought to
be discussed, and that now is the time.
We as women, must talk Of these things
and help to do away with them
