An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP or FIes, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. II
Is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing dgs
are used, as they are pleasant to tho
taste, but the medicinal qualities of tho
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

WORD OF WISDOM TRUE

II Is notable that the recommenda-
lions OF the Word Of Wisdom are sus-
tanned IN every detail by scientific Inc
yestigatlons and conclusions. This
cannot be asohbed to the deep knowll
edge Of the human body, Of the instru-
ment through which the revelation was
given. II Is an evidence Of the knowl-
edge and wisdom Of the source from
which Il was inspired.
one OF the latest endorsements OF that
part OF "MormonlsmH IS found In an
article in the Philadelphia Medical
Journal on the meat diet. The writer
does not deny the use Of a reasonable
amount Of meat, but he Is Of the opin-
ion that many Of the disorders to which
Americans are subject are due to their
too free indulgence In that kind of
food.
The reasoning Of the contributor to
the Journal Is as follows;
1T is a well-known fact that almost
all the food materials contain prOpor-
tlon OF waste matter, and this Is desir-
able; most foods also contain consti-
tnents which IN large quantities are
deleterlous. but in smaller quantities
may be beneficial. The cxtractives OF
meat AMONG the more important OF
which are tactic acid. butyric acid.
acetlc acid, etc. are by no means harm
full II taken in small quantities as IL
ordinarily the case, and the same Is
true Of the heterogeneous constituents.
There can be little doubt, however, that
these constituents do have bad ef-
feet among certain people who eat large
quantities Of meat, and this evil Is
without question more prevalent In
America than in almost any other
part of the world. Ii arises from the
fact that the meat supply Ii compare
lively large with US, and the people are
relatively prosperous and can afford TO
buy larger amounts OF meat than peo-
pie Of most other nations. Three heavy
meat meals In day are not unusual
among certain classes OF people, and
on nearly all the bills OF fare Of lead
ing restaurants and hotels the list OF
meats is as great as or greater than
that Of vegetables"
This Is considered too much and a
cause OF great deal OF sickness.
The same conclusion is reached by
German scientists. a series OF ana
lyses OF meat has recently been made,
showing that so-oalled white meats OF
poultry, fish, etc. In certain cases con-
tain less heterogeneous materials; yet
the average amount does not differ
greatly enough in the white and dark
meats TO make either preferable. Con-
sequently, In order to limit the amount
Of deleterlous food constituents, It is
not enough TO select white meat in.
stead OF dark, but the amount OF meat
must be diminished.
The conclusion, we believe, Is CONTRA
ny to the generally accepted ideas, but
It is wen established by careful ana
lyses, II IL in full harmony with the
teachings Of the Word Of Wisdom,
and that is a part Of Mormon
ism"

THE PLAGUE.

The suspicion that the bubonic plague
now has made its appearance at San
Francisco revives interest In the facts
about that once dreaded disease. Dr.
Sternberg, surgeon. general Of the T..
$. army. writes extensively about the
scourge in the current number OF the
National Geographic Magazine. tracing
it's history, describing It's symptoms and
explaining the treatment now adopted
by physicians
There Is now no doubt that the plague
ragged In various countries during the
earliest years OF our era, and during the
sixth century. a time OF great political
disturbances and warfare, It depopulat-
ed towns and large sections Of country.
In the fourteenth century II swept
Europe as with a bosom Of destruction
by It 25.OOO000 lives were lost So ter
rible was the angel Of death that for n
time all commerce was limited TO that
Of collins and shrouds, but even that
ended In some places. The dead were
simply thrown into holes in the earth,
or left unburied.
In the fifteenth century the plague
again rayaged Germany. Italy. France,
and Spain. In the sixteenth century It
continued to prevail in Europe, and all
so In China. Early In the seventeenth
century the epidemic swept away $4,000
persons IN London. II also prevailed in
Holland and Germany. Egypt suffered
greatly In 1908 Later England, Holland
and Germany were again visited. and
stlll later Italy II was due 10 the
sanitary measures instituted by Cardln-
al Gastaldi that the disease was ar
rested In It's onward march. The moth
cd inaugurated by him gave the true
key to success IN the fight against that
and other epidemics
In 1905 the disease again appeared In
London and took away 1900 people out
OF a total population Of 100000 souls.
Austria, Hungary and Germany were
again swept by death. In the elgh-
tenth century the epidemic held sway
IN Constanunople and along the Dan
ube. In 1870 II invaded Mafsellles,
where the mortality amounted TO over
looOo, Early In this century there were
cases Of the plague In Turkey, Russia,
Egypt and Italy.
The inference from this brief review
Of the history Of the plague is this that
It has never been entirely stamped out.
Notwithstanding the fight made against
It by al the agencies Of far advanced
science. II seems to have retained It's
foothold In the parts OF Asia, into which
sanitary measures have not yet pene-
trated. And from these places. the
rest Of the world, Ia these days Of inter-
national traffic, Is continually threat
ened by inyaslons.
The present epidemic was FIRST brought
to public notice In 1894 when Il ap.
peared in Canton. imported from the
interior Of China, where 4 had been

Numerous comments are made on
the fact that Russia. instead OF turning
90 European countries for a loan, ap-

MORE RrsrnAINr nNQuInEp.

er, and thus show disregard not only
OF the sacred character OF worshiping
assembly, but Of the ordinary rules OF
proprlety and deoency. We do not be-
lieye that this Is general. on the con-
irsry, the conduct complained Of Is on
the part OF few thoughtless individ-
uals. II is perhaps more commonly
noticed among some members Of cholrs
than others.
There Is, no doubt, too little restraint
upon the younger members OF our COM
munlty As a rule they do too much as
they please. They are permitted in too
many instances TO run at large, to stay
out late at night. 10 annoy nelghbors
by bols,erous conduct and even to re-
move property and invade the rights OF
peaceful people
This lack Of proper restriction and
training accounts for the behavior COM
planned OF In public meetings. The fault,
TO large degree. lies with the parents,
who should impress upon the minds Of
their children the Importance OF proper
decorum and due regard for the rights
and feelings OF others. The custom OF
leaving n Westinghouse while services
are In progress, and sometimes return
ing and then leaving again before the
congregation Is dismissed. is partlcu-
larry annoying and displays gross lg-
ncrance. or great impudence. or both.
Lessons on proper behavior in public
and in private. ought to be impaired not
only at home but In the school room.
In the day school. and In the Sunday
school, children should be taught prop
er behavior, and made 10 understand
that such disregard Of propriety as
here complained Of is thoroughly dis
graceful.
The chatterlng among young lady
members OF our cholrs has been a sub
ject of much animadyerSion. 1t Is par
iIcularly noticeable and offensive, when
II is INDUCED in right under the eyes
OF the speaker. II Is insulting to him
and a mark Of yulgurity on the part OF
all who are guilty Of IT, When the
choir is lifted up behind the speaker,
the giggling girls and older CONVERSE
tonallsts are a spectacle TO the whole
congregation, ana cause people trained
In true politeness to wonder what kind
Of education such chatterers In public
have received.
There needs to be, throughout this
whole State, more restraint upon the
youth of our community Unless the
disposition exhibited by many receives
a salutary check, It VIII grow into law
lessuess and bring much trouble and
suffering both to young people and to
their parents. We DO not believe IN
severe treatment, or the repression Of
the natural buoyancy OF spirit that
should be enjoyed by the young. Rec
reation and pleasure are proper in
their time and place and should be pro-
yided for ALL But the impropr.eties
lightly touched upon in these remarks
should be corrected, so that our young
folks may grow up with a proper re-
gard for decofum and the desires and
welfare OF other people besides them
selves,

THE EUROPEAN MISSION.


The current number Of The Mlllen.
NAL Star contains u very complete
statistical report OF the European mis-
sion for the year 1899 From the fig.
ures presented We learn that there are
now in Europe a total OF officers and
members or ii,li6 OF these, s.7l2 are In
the British mission. AiH In the Sean
dinavian countries: s7s in Germany;
~ In Switzerland, and l,l65 In the
Netherlands, From Turkey and Ice
land the reports are incomplete. The
baptisms during the year amounted to
liis.
The statistics further show a great
amount Of work done by way Of holding
meetings distributing tracts and books
and holding Gospel conversations. No
less than lA529Ss tracts were dis.
ributed during the year in that mis-
sion, and over 1900 books And some
idea may be formed Of the sacrifices
the Elders are making for the sake OF
their fellowmen. when IL Is known that
the greater part Of this literature is
paid Tor by the missionaries who dis
tribute It. They so forth without pay.
They meet their own expenses and
even furnish the tracts they distribute.
Did the world ever furnish a more
striking example Of disinterestedness
and self-sacrlhce In the service Of The
Lord?
The emigration during the year has
not been considerable. amounting only
to abou, 200 persons. This Is the best
retuiailon Of the statement that the
Mormon" Elders arc engaged in the
emigration business. They only preach
the Gospel, and they rather discourage
than promote hasty plans to leave the
old countries.
The general lesson Of the statistics
given is that the cause OF God IL onward,
II reveals the reason why the nations
'ase and the people take counsel to.

The statement made by Captain and

only four liquor saloons existed there.
Now there are 400 This statement has

ported by what President schurman Of
the Philippine commission has said OF
the damage done 20 the American char
acter by the opening Of saloons at Ma
Mia. But the Chicago Inter Ocean and
Chicago Record quote certain unnamed
American officers, returned from the
Philippines, TO the effect that Captain
Wells statement Is 40 extraordinary
as to discredit everything else he says.
They assert that there were 1000 sa-
looms In Manila az the time OF the
american occupation. and that the
United States authorities have sup
pressed three.fourths OF them. and the
number is still being gradually re-
duced.
