PLURAL WIVES SACRIFICE HONOR
Mormon Women Tell Degrading Un-
 truths to Shield the Men.

One of the sweetest Mormon women I have known showed me one of the en- dowment garments one time, carefully explaining, evidently in order to ease her conscience for the act, which is for bldden, that 1 had probably seen it on lno clothesline. The garment may best be described as white union suit, and she told me that every man or woman who has ever been through the temple is expected to wear such an one for the rest of his or her natural life. Even in removing the garment, to put on a fresh one, it may not be entirely re- moved until it is replaced by the new, says Marian Bonsall in her third article on "The Tragedy of the Mormon Woman" in the September House keeper. It is worn night and day, sum- mer and winter. Woven ones, pat termed after the same style, may be worn in cold weather. These garments are seldom seen by Gentiles, especially of late, since the saints have been for bidden to send them to public laun- dry. The garment is supposed to be a kind of invulnerable shield, a protec- ton against disease and violent death. It is particularly distinguished by cer- tain markings, which to the Mormon mad have deep significance, never to be revealed. The markings are incl

DesuItory Reading Habit.

o. s. Warden in Success Magazine.
 The mind is very delicate, complicated piece of mechanism and, although made to do certain kind of work marvelously we'll, yet, when put to an entirely different use, its efficiency is ruined. just as the delicate machinery intended for produc- ing fine watch parts would be completely spoiled for this purpose if used to make clock parts. When the mind becomes de- flected, to a certain extent, from its nor nal condition, by the vicious reading hab- 1t, 1t diverges more and more, and rarely goes back to the normal
 By desutory habits or reading and lack of system you confuse the mind with a large mass of unclassified material You pick up a book and read few pages, and then pick up another one, and then go from that to a paper or magazine. This puts the mind in a chaotic state. because you let everything run into the mental reservoir without any order of def mite plans. Systemless reading is profit less. You cannot gain knowledge of a friend or prize his friendship by hasty first impression, so in reading a book you cannot gain everlasting good by skimming over it's contents or by reading a few pages one night and then putting 1t on a shelf to gather dust until you get time to read it again. Everything comes out of the mind as it went in, and if it does not enter in orderly manner it will come out In chaos.

 More Physicians and Nurses.
 The state board of health is trying fur ther to relieve the conditions at Lake Providence and Tallulah, and has de- cided to dispatch two more physicians to these points, The board was notified from Lake Providence that the doctors there were unable to attend to cases of illness in the country surrounding that town, having all they possibly can do in the town itself. The board today also sent two trained nurses to Wilwood plan tation, in St. Mary parish, where the fever is prevailing.
 Dr. White admitted today that all the cases that were being reported were by no means yellow fever.
 There are two ways by which yellow fever can be fought, When you have cases that can be diagnosed at once the death rate will be high, probably as high as 30 per cent. But when you adopt public safety policy the death rate will go as low as s or 9 per cent The public safety Is what is now being used by our department, and means the reporting of

Relieved of Ills Money,

A white man who refused to give his name to the police was ''roped' into an alley running into Second avenue, be- tween Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets, last night, and relieved of roll of money containing something over sS5. He reported the robbery to Policemen Gates and Bennett who made an inves- tigation and landed Homer Henderson, a negro, behind the bars two hours later. They arrested a negro woman, who gave her name as Lula Dillard. It is expected a third woman will be arrested today. From what the police say it seems the man induced the stranger to go into the alley and the two negro women got his money, which has not been recovered.

 I remember my astonishment at her answer to my question before I had seen the garment, if it was not the am bition of every woman of her faith to be married in the temple; and her merry laugh as she said, "Yes, of all good Mormon women, but don't think arms" Finally she explained that the arms" Finally she expained that the garment reached to the neck and to lne elbow.
 :. small but interesting incident in connection with the endowments is that each woman is given new name which she is never to tell to living soul except her husband. It is by this name that she is supposed to be admit ted into the glory of the hereafter. One Mormon woman, however, her mirth getting the better of her secrecy, con- fided to Gentle friend of mine, that she and her women friends who had gone through the ceremony at the same tipe had compared notes and found that they each had been called Sarah.

 which is a "positive"-must be done wi.h the aid of a magnifying glass, since the displacement of the tiniest dot of color might be serious blunder when. the picture was thrown on the screen. In addition to coloring every variety of "slide" pictures, Mrs. Clem- ents makes anatomical charts, also in watercolor, which require as much skill and care as the tiny bits of glass, though many times larger In size. Be- sides her commercial work in water color, Mrs. Clements finds time to do exquisite sketches in oil notably fruit and flower pieces.

Meridian, Miss. September 16.-(Special) Superintendent Ford of the Alabama and Vicksburg road, telephoned City Health Officer Dr. H. F. Tatum this morning that the demand of the city board of health for the relay of all trains at the relay station out of yicksburg will \ /- mediately complied with. He said that a side track will not be necessary as at first thought, but that the siding at Bo- vina can be used for the purpose.
 Contrary to general opinion the Me- ridian health authorities are not maintain ing a quarantine against Whistler, Ala. The state board of health, however, es- tablished, and Is still maintaining a quarantine against the town, and as long as such quarantine is enforced Whistler people are prohibited iron coming to Me ridian as they are prohibited from going to any other point In the state
 Meridian imposed a quarantine against Whistler but raised it promptly on being assured that there was no fever there.

FORMAL CALL MADE FROM CHAT TANOOGA Ten Cities Join in Important
 Movement TO DISCUSS QUARANT TINE Will Take Up Matter of Uniform Reeu- latlons for Various States and Will Also Discuss Immigra-
 ton Movement.

Chattanooga, Tenn, September 16.- the formal call for conference of southern representatives to be held in the city In November was issued today signed by twelve governors and the officials of the chambers of commerce of ten cities. The call after recting the prosperity and business growth of this section, its won- derful business and magnificent prospects says:
 Tn the attempt that has been made by various cities, towns and communi- ties in the south to protect themselves from the dread ravages of yellow fever. the most strenuous and at times the most unreasonable, unnecessary and bur densome measures have been adopted, measures that not only tended to cripple and destroy business and commerce, but which reflected on the very instincts of our common community, and became reproach to civilization itself It is evil dent, therefore, that some uniform syS- tenn of quarantine should be adopted that will allay the apprehension of the peo- ple and minimize the dangers resulting from an outbreak of this disease. This is necessary if we would save our land from the demoralizing and brutalizing tendencies of a panic-inspired quaran- tine.
 Again there are coming into the Unit ed States at the present time, larger numbers of foreign immigrants than ever before in our country's history.

Several girls have had the corns re-
