Ing houses employ women in one Of the

Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden. one of
the foremost newspaper women in
America, says on this subject: ANY
young woman Of ordinary sense. who
pays attention to the requirements of
the profession, can make good living
as reporter. She will find that the
range Of her understanding and her
sympathies is being increased with
every month of her work. Her daily ex-
perience will be a continual education
for the field Of legitimate fiction. If she
has talent or genius. or executive ability,
her future is secure. Meanwhile, her
daily bread is provided for. What more
could be asked of any vocation in life?"
One word may be added in reply to the
question: "Where shall the aspirant find

newspaper is the best of training

Office is good school. One learns the
profession somewhat after the world

Years ago when floods threatened, all
the people could do was to fee with
what goods>th could carry away, and
wait to return to their homes, to plant
crops and carry on their work when tho
waters had fallen. Then gradually pri-
vate enterprise began building leveo
here and there; next communities took
1t upon themselves to provide this pro-
lection; later the state carried the bur
den, and now the federal government
looks after repairs and even undertakes
to build up new works. To-day there
are $500 miles of levees below the mouth
Of the Ohio, 4 contrast to that first levee
built in New Orleans in lit, one mile
long.
In addition to the river gauges, tho
service has lately begun to make use OF
the snow gauge. A tube measures
depth Of snow deposits. and the snow in
the tube is melted down, this water
measured and compared with the depth
of snow. Estimates are made Of tho
quantity Of water there will be when

the dryest month Of all the twelve, the
time of low waters.
New England floods come when the
spring rains melt the winter store of
ice. On the Pacific coast, the great
Columbia river regularly has floods
that last from near the middle Of May
on into June. The Sacramento rises
earlier as a rule; last year floods along
the banks of this river worked much
havoc, smashed levees and devastated
to an unusual degree.
DR.. Frankenf1eld, who has charge
Of the river and food service,
speaks Of the Mississippi flood of
1904 as, the greatest in the history
of the United States, the only inun-
dation ever approaching it being that
Of 1874. Third in severity was that
Of 1897.
To give some idea Of the good Yankee
dollars saved by the work of the new
service, We may mention that In 1897
DR.. Frankenfield's corps saved $15,-
10000 worth Of property, and in the
greater flood Of 1903 property of much
greater value. Concerning the warn
ings sent out by the service, DIR. Frank

INFANTILE DIETARY.

To make prominent a few practical
hints the following are mentioned:
Don't give acid milk.
Don't use tube in the nursing bot
tie.
Don't allow the bottle or nipple to
be any other: way than antiseptic..
Don't continue to give stuff that does
not nourish.
Don't fail to sterilize milk early and
then cool rapidly by running cold wa
ter.
Don't forget the necessity of pure
air, cleanliness and proper clothing.
Don't forget that the infant is crea-
ture Of habit and can be taught the
proper frequency ard amount of food
and the time for sleep.
Don't produce collie by allowing mill,
to flow too freely.
Don't forget that infants are sensi-
tive to starches.
Remember, always to norish.

equaled. For this purpose he has an
exceptional equipment. Ever since
childhood he has been on the inside of
the workings of the church.
Cannon's Large Following.
Canno has built UP large following
among the younger and progressive
Mormons, as we'll as among men and
women outside his church. He opposed
the selection of Reed Smoot, on the
ground that it was wrong for the church
to interfere in politics-that it would
bring sorrow to the Mormon people and
| woe to Utah. Last fall he announced
that he believed the issues within the
state OF supreme Importance to the resi-
]ents of Utah, and he Joined the newly
formed American party, which was Or
ganized to fight the Mormon. church in
politics.
Not long after the presidential elec-
ton he began the fight on Smith. For
some time an e.lort was made to ignore
the attacks, but finally the president of
the church took cognizance of them by
ordering the officials in Mr.. Cannon's
ecclesiastical ward to bring proceed
ings to cut him off from the church.
which were successful.
While the Mormon church has always
welcomed any attack made on it's reli-
gion as a religion from the out
side, this is the first time in
its history that the attack has ben
from within, and the hierarchy is
frightened. Prosecutions from out
siders have only served to make mar.
tyrs of the followers of the creed Of
Brigham Young and helped to solidify
the people In defensive attitude.
But now comes a war within tho
church, in which the members of the
organization make accusations against
those in authority, while the accusers
maintain their adherence to the faith.
Every move made by Smith and his
followers thus far has only involved
them further, and those who are fight
ing them welcome with glee the increas-
ing feeling against them among the
Mormons.

Salt Lake City.-A monarchy within
republic with Joseph F. Smith, presi-
dent Of the Mormon church, as the arch
EULER. Such is the condition at present
IN Utah, according to those who are
wasing war on the Mormon leader and
who are attempting to displace him
from his high seat.
Charges have been made that Smith
has diverted the llow of tithes from the
Golfers of the church to his own pock-
cts: that he has commanded his follow
ers to invest their money in enterprises
under his control so that he may enrich
his private purse, and that he has COM
mit1ed other transgressions too numer-
Gus to mention.
And the authors of these accusations
are from within the sacred councils OF
the temple. and until their eNcommuni-
cation for their disloyalty to their lead
er. ranked high in church affairs.
But firmly entrenched behind the walls
OF the tabernacle the alleged king is bid
ding defiance to his enemies both with
in and without the state.
Origin of the Trouble.
The election OF Reed Smoot to the
United States senate may be said to be
the beginning Of the trouble Before
the time arrived for the apostle of the
Mormon church to take his seat among
the country's lawmakers, a popular
vail arose throughout the country that
he should be barred from that body.
There were those OF the apostles that Op-
posed the mixing OF church with politics
and forecasted the opposition that would
arise from his election, but Smith was
favorable to Shoots candidacy and, as
is we'll known. he was easily elected.
When the committee was appointed by
the senate TO investigate the charges of
hormonSm preferred against the new
ly-elected senator. many churchmen
IL high standing were called to Wash
ington to testify and among others was
President Smith. The general trend Of
the testimony presented showed that al
though polygamous cohabitation had
been abolished as a rule, those of the
mormon faith were still ruled by the law
Of the church, rather than by the law
OF the land, or in other words, that the
law of the church is supreme.
Smith Confessed Periurer.
It was only after the passage Of the
Edmund's law that Utah was admitted
into the union as state. Under this law,
which was subscribed to by President
Smiht and the apostles of the Mormon
church, plural marriages and polyga-
nous cohbaitation were forbidden But
on the stand before the senate commit
Zee on privileges and elections in the
Smoot investigation. President Smith
frankly confessed that the pact with the
nation had been broken; that his oath
vas travesty: that his obligation as
an apostle and as hierarch of the church
was a subterfuge.
The opposition to the seating of Smoot
was ably conducted by Robert W. Tay-

being revived. greatly to the saving of
our fr0cks and the comfort Of wearers.
The coQuettish apron has been set
aside for awhile, but is now once more
asserting itself. The strictly. useful has
always held its own. The French have
turned kindly eye to them, and in the
days of Louis XIII. women wore them
and~ their bunch Of keys, showing that
they were veritable housekeepers. In
the time of Louis XIV. ladies G.: the
court donned them when employed in
needlework and other arts, and it is
from that period We are restoring the
airy nothings of lace and muslin to our
favor. Sometimes they are of light
colored crepe de chine worked in gold.
More useful ones of thicker fabric have
large pockets. These are adorned with
pretty ribbon bows, and these ribbons
sometimes draw up the pocket. Some
times strong linen aprons are laced with
ribbon at the edge by means of eyelet
holes.
