Lapponi's Retirement.

The retirement of DR. Lapponi. who
was for many years the medical adviser
OF the late Pope. and the appointment
OF Venetian physician in his place, has
caused much comment here.
1t is rumOred that the cause u the
change is to be found in the fact that
Dr. Lapponi continually insisted on the
necessity Of the Pope taking more eXer-
else and his urging that this could not
be properly accomplished in the limits
OF the Vatican. The physicians opinion
was frequently quoted by those who

1T is something that should make us
pause when conservative journals and con-

characterize this an age of graft when

Our ideals of the home have gone down.
We talk of Mormonism and affect a horror
of it as an unclean and loathsome thing,
but between a system that allows
man to have three or four ex-wives, or a
woman to have three or four ex-husbandS,
and system that permits man to have
his plural wives all at once there is very
little to choose. l am not sure but the
