OF WOMEN
susJEcr OF QUESTIONING AT
REQ sMoor iNvEsTIGA-
riok THIS MORNING.
They May Vote in Church Matters, but
Were Not Regarded on Same
Plane as Men In Being Ordained
Priests, Apostles or EIders-Rejec-
ton Of PoIygamy Against God.

ator Hoar this morning, when the
Smoot investigation was resumed and
the president of the Mormon church
again took the stand. asked President
Smith concerning the rights Of women
in the Mormon church, and whether
they had any priestly authority. Mr..
Smith answered that the women we're
regarded as the equals Of men in all
matters Of voting. but in holding
priestly authority women were not re-
garded on the same plane. They were
not ordained high priests, apostles or
elders.
Mr.. Taylor asked Mr.. Smith if he
was correctly reported IN the Deseret
News Of June %, 1903, in saying that
the doctrines of plural marriages were
a revelation of God himself. Mr..
Smith said he was correctly reported,
and also admitted that Senator Smoot
vas present at that meeting.
Mr.. Smith said he had avoided
teaching polygamy, but that the mani
festo which forbids it had not in any
manner changed his convictions on the
question Of plural marriages.

Situation 10 Desperate, as Abandon
ment Means Sinking Of War Yes
sels-Thirty Thousand Soldiers
Chartered at This Important STRAIT
eoic Point-News Of the War.

Paris, March Information has
been received from Russian sources
that the supplies of food an ammunl-
ton at Port Arthur will not last an
other fortnight, and that they have
abandoned this famous strategic point
by the Russians. which is almost a
certainty. This will require the sink
Ing Of the warships. The situation Is
desperate. There are 10000 Russian
soldiers quartered at Port Arthur and
as many peaceful inhabitants. They
all profess a certain confidence. but
there is no heart to it. They know
that the inevitable must happen, and
while they would like to fight them
selves out, it does not seem possible.
The Japanese have the port blocked
by e and land. Stores are forced
open, but the price OF all commodities
Is enormous. The admiral awaits or.
ders from st. Petersburg to abandon
the important sea port.

Interstate Conflicts.

State Engineer Carpenter has just
returned from Laramie, Wyo., says
the Denver Republican, where he ad-
dressed the state university on the
interstate conflicts relating to water
rights. He took the ground that these
conflicts are generally of the same
character as the disputes which occur
between individual users of water
from the same stream. In touching
ersy, he said that it involves the right
to divert and use water for any pur-
pose. In England, when our common
law originated, the conditions of the
country were such that it was more
important for the water to remain in
hence the principles Of the earlier
laws which recognized the right to di
vert water departed from English Gus
tom, or rather were never recognized
I'm the eastern part of the United
States" he said. "the need of presen'
principles was not felt. In the arit
states the absolute necessity of appro
priation Is accepted as a basis between
them. However, in the states lik'
Kansas and Nebraska. which are partl,
arid and partly humid, the conflict be
tween the principle which recognize
the right to appropriate and the prir
ciple known ~ the riparian doctrin
has been In dispute, and this case ii
wolves the contest between the part
of humid country and the parts of a
arid country. It therefore effects niue

QUIT COFFEE.
Said the Great German Specialist.

It disappoints some people to be told
that coffee causes the disease. But it
is best to look squarely at facts and
set the face towards health for that's
more fun than anything else anyhow.
A Cincinnati man consulted a Berlin
physician on nervous diseases and
says:
-Four years ago 1 was an habitual
coffee drinker having used it for %
years and being naturally of a nervous
temperament ! became almost a ner-
vous wreck, greatly suffering from
insomnia, almost constantly consti-
pated and Weighing only 12S pounds.
Il consulted physicians and took
medicine all the time but had no relief.
About three years and a half ago I
went abroad and WHILE in Berlin heard
frequently Of a great physician, Prof.
Mendel an authority on nervous trou-
Bile. so I resolved to consult him.
Prof. Mendel surprised me very
much by asking at once if was a
coffee drinker and on my telling him I
used it two or three times a day he
said, II is poison After carefully ex-
aminiug me he told me there was moth
ing the matter with me whatever but
what could be entirely cured i'm 80
days by letting coffee and other stim-
ulants alone and dieting.
Il had a hard time following his ad-
vice. did not know what to do un-
iil came home and told my wife who
got some Postum. We tried it but at
first did not like It; then we went over
the directions on the package together
and found we had not boiled 1t long
enough. That was the beginning of the
end of my trouble for the Postum was
delicious after that and drank it regu-
larly and it helped from the start.
Tn a very short time I began to
feel much better and in the last three
years haven't been absent from busi-
ness one hour en- account of IN health
for my health is fine now. / have a
good appetite. sleep well and weigh lis

Any nervous person who drinks coffee
will feel better from 10 days use OF
Postum in place OF coffee. Trial eas1,
proves this There's reason.
