hghtened in regard to the Mormon faith

everything they knew about their religion.
They turned her over to one Of the Mormon
missionaries, an elderly man with long
beard Principally ne told the actress that
abe would have to learn something about
the church before she could be admitted

UHISkEY WEN ARR iSED.
DR. wiley Denies That He said sS Per Cent.
OF American Whlskey Is Adulterated.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 22.-C'hicf Che mist
Wiley OF the Department OF AgricutuT e
emphatically denies that he ever said that
s. Ger cent Of the whskey made in this
country was spurious or aduternted, or
that the internal revenue stamp on a bottle
of whiskey was not guarantee Of the
purity Of its contents. DR. Wiley not only
repudiated the alleged statement, but e1-
planned that what he said was that IS per
cent. Of the whiskey made in this country
was blended fact very we'll known.
and that the whiskey bottled in bond was
"unblendedT or raw whiskey. subject only
to such publication as resulted from re-
naming four years or more in barrel.
The American manufacturers Of whiskey
were greatly exercised over the statement
attributed 10 DR.. Wiley realizing that
because OF his official position and bis
reputation az pure food expert an asser-
ton from him that S. per cent OF American
whiskey was spurious, fraudulent and
adulterated would work irreparable injury
To the foreign as well as the domestic trade.
Consequently a delegation representing
the Wholesale LIQUOR Dealers Association,
whose membership comprises leading liquor
dealers OF the United States, came 10 Wash-
inaton a few days ago TO talk the matter
No with the officers Of the Government:
10 the delegation Dr.. Wiley repudiated
both the statement and the sentiments con-
tanned therein. What he had said, no in
formed the whskey men, was that 50 per
cent Of American whiskey was blend. y
that is TO say. a mixture Of whiskey of differ
emit ages. and at times Of Whistles made
from different grains. ss rye and corn, FOR
the purpose Of producing a more palatable
article He did not mean 10 intimate or
20 Load the public TO believe that SIS per
cent 81 American whiskey was adnlterated
in any sense Of the word. as he realized
such n statement would be ridiculous and
aaay Of rafutation.

I'm never be able to admire the robins

The date of Thanksgiving this year is
evidently a puzzle to the calendar manu-
facturers. Some announce 1t for Nov % and
others for Nov. 30. the last day in the month
