The people have allowed the slow
murder OF infants and adults by tricky
makers of food. drink and drugs to go
on about long enough. Duty to oneself,
family and nation demands that every
man and woman join in an organized
movement to clear our people from
this blight. You may not be able to go
personally to Washington to impress
your Congressman. but you can. In a
most effective way tell him by letter
how you desire him to represent you.
Remember the Congressman Is in
Congress to represent the people from
his district and II goodly number of
citizens express their views to him, he
secures very sure guide to duty. Re-
member also that the safety OF the
people is assured by insisting that the
will Of the people be carried out. and
not the Vaccinations OF the few for
selfish interests.
This pure food Legislation is pure
movement Of the people for public pro
lection. It will be opposed only by
those who fatten their pockets by de-
ceiving and injuring the people. There

gress evades his patriotic duty hold

condition than when faction demands

Many pure food bills have been in
troduced and some passed by State leg
fslatures; many have been offered to
Congress, but all thus far seem objec-
tionable.
1t has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No govt commission or officer has the
right to fix food standards" to define
what the people shall and shall not eat.
for what agrees with one may not
agree with another and such act would
deprive the common citizen Of his
personal liberty. The Postum Cereal
Co., Ltd, perhaps the largest makers
Of prepared foods in the world, have
naturally a close knowledge OF the
needs of the people and the details OF
the business of the purveyors (the re-
tail grocer), and. guided by this expert
ence have prepared a bill for submis-
sion to Congress which is intended to
accomplish the desired ends, and mas
much as citizen of the U. S. has a
right to food protection even when he
enters another State. it is deemed
proper that the govt take control OF
this matter and provide national
law to govern all the states. A copy
Of the bill is herewith reproduced.
Sec. l governs the maker whether
the food Is put up in small packages
sealed, or in barrels, boxes or other
wise
Sec. governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the fool in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
inclose a printed copy of the statement
of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. and inasmuch as the
retailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as
guarantee of his selling the food as it
is represented to him. which relieves
the retailer of responsibility of the
truth Of the statement and throws it
upon the maker, where 1t properly be-
longs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co.. Ltd. for ex-
ample. have from the beginning of its
existence printed on the outside of each
and every pkg. of Postum and Grape
Nuts food truthful and exact state
ment Of what the contents were made
OF in order that the consumer might
know precisely what he or she was
eating. A person desiring to buy. for
instance, strictly pure fruit jelly and

expect not only an equivalent for the

MORMON BELIEF
IS DISCUSSED
REV. S. E. WISHARD SPEAKS
TO WOMEN
Family, Church and state Are Defined
as Constituting the Whole Human
Society, Without Plurality
of Wives

"Mormonism in Utah" was the topic
of Rev. S. e. Wishard at the vespei
services at the Y. NJ. G. A. Sunday
AFTERNOON. DR.. Wishard was superin-
teodent OF Presbyterian home missions
for the synod of Utah for sixteen years
during which he travelled 346;0OO miles
in the interest of the Presbyterian
church.
DIR. Wishard spoke in an interesting
manner on the religious beliefs of the
Mormons I'm Utah. compared with their
teachings outside that state and with
the religion of Christian churches. He
said i'm part:
God has given us three great insti-
tutions. which go to make up the whols
of human society, the family, the
church and the state. God created the
family as duality in unity. He created
man and his helpmate, husband and
father. husband and wife, not wives.
"The family ties were violated early
in the history of the race and has con-
tinued all the way down. In the old
Testament we find the first case of
polygamy in the fourth chapter of Cen
esis sandwiched in between two mur-
ders. The world grew more polluted
and God became disgusted and de-
stroyed all but Noah and his wife and
his sons and their wives, but only one
wife for each man. Yet man Is an ami
NAL and polygamy continued in the
world.
God has given us divine law in the
ten commandments. NO one shall
commit adultery Where that law has
been violated there has been suffering
Jacob. David and Solomon demon
strated this.
TN heather lands polygamy is the
thing. In Mohamedamism the man
who has the most wives is the man.
Where polygamy prevails, men are
brutalized.
1.-THE first book of Mormonism got
ten out denounces polygamy three
times, and six times 1T denounces the
sins that come from it. This was when
Joseph Smith and his wife were in
their early married life. Later Joseph
Smith became a popular man and he
fell into relations which made his wife
indignant. He was protesting to get
divine revelations. Later he had an
other revelation. God had changed his
mind about polygamy and the revela-
ton was If any man accept it not, he
shall be damned There was a little
trouble in the family about that time,
l should judge. Later he had another
revelation that his wife, Emma, should
stay at home and keep quiet. In west
ern parlance, they must have been
about to sit on him, for the next reve-
lation is Let no one sit on my servant

polygamy and the doctrine and coven-
ants approve it.

WOMAN IS HEART
OF HOME LIFE
BABA BHARATI DEFINES MU-
TUAL DUTIES
Says Feminine Intellectual Work Is
Guided by the Heart, While
Mans Brain Action
Is Positive

Baba Bharau delivered his sermon
| Sunday night In the Krishna temple,
his subject being Man and woman: /:
Their Mutual Duties" He said In part:
You cannot think of woman with
out thinking of q home simultaneously.
Woman Is the maker of the home. "A
home without woman-mother or
wife or sister-ris its make-believe. 1t Is
heartless home, as a heartless body.
Woman is the heart of home, man
the head, and, as in the case of the
human body, both are essential, heart
and head, so both are essential in the
formation of home life-the heart and
the head. The analogy grows on you
as you think Of 1t more and more AS
in the organization of the physical
body, no life is possible without the
heart, so in the domestic organization,
no real life is possible without its
heart, the woman. From her flows the
moral life of domesticity. But the
head, too, is as essential. A body with
a heart, but no brain, loses most of its
usefulness.
Don't start don't be cross, Madam
Woman. You have a brain, too. But
your brain, the physical organ of your
intellect, is functioned by your heart.
Mans brain-action is positive, for his
consciousness is made UP of predomi-
nant intellect of which his brain is a
physical medium of expression. A
womanly woman's intellectual work is
intuitional being functioned by the
heart, the seat of intuition. A man is
predominantly a thinker, his thought
being the result of the positive intellect.
He has a heart, too, but it is gener-
ally functioned by the intellect.
THE harmonious relation Of a posi-
tive intellect to the intuitional heart
and the sympathetic response of the
intuitional heart to the positive intel
lect cannot fail to make a harmonious
home life. Man, the head, and woman,
the heart of the home. must act in
unison to share the joys of life, aye,
even in sorrowful circumstances, for
sorrow sympathetically shared is prac-
tically soothed. And this harmonious
action of the head-man and the heart
woman is only possible when each
does not meddle with the province of
the other Man must work with his
positive intellect, aided by the body,
to supply the necessities of home; and
woman must work at home with her
heart and body to make that home a
haven of rest for the storm-tossed in
tellectual ship, the man. Man loses the
when engaged in the material business
of life. The woman's duty is to re-
cover 1t for him when he comes home,
the actions and expressions of
the tender attributes of her heart Man
is the supplier and woman is the sus-
tainer of home life, physical, moral and
spiritual. What is a home? Is it a
house divided into and furnished as
sitting and retiring rooms and a
kitchen? No. The home has no loca-
ton outside of the hearts of the in

BIG GUN GONE WRONG

vented and built in Great Britain has
definitely been declared unsafe, and
will go to the scrap heap AS only
one of these mammoths was built.

it is about 100000 This gun was
constructed to shoot a 16-inch pro-
jectile distance of twenty-one miles,
even though 1t would be impossible
ever to hit a mark at such range. The
big gun was found to be unsafe after a
few firings, and really was as danger
GUS to our own folk as it was expected
to be to an enemy. Twelve-inch guns
are likely to be the limit for long
time, and certainly until some gun

CHURCH RECTOR
DEGREES SUICIDE
REV. J. W. THURSBY FLkYS
SELF-DESTRUCTloN
Mention Is Made Of the First Person
on Record Who Hanged
Himself in Bible
Times

Suicide, one of the great modern
sins" was the topic of Rev. ]. w.
Thursby, rector of the Church of the
Ascension, Boyle Heights, Sunday
morning. He preached an interesting
and forceful sermon, taking his text
from II Samuel, 1923: And when
Ahithopel saw that his counsel was
not followed he saddled his ass and
arose and gat him home to his house,
to his city, and put his household in
order and hanged himself and died
and was buried in the sepulchre of his
father" He said in part:
1--WE have here the record of the
sad ending of a man which Is similar
to many Instances of men today who
have had important opportunities
placed before them. but who have
thrown their lives away to utter de-
struction.
1--WE have the record that David was
much grieved over the treatment Of
Ahithopel in conspiring against him
and the final sad ending of his life
because of his counsel not being fol-
lowed in accomplishing the compact
he had arranged with Absalom.
First on Record
MANY others doubtless had COM
mitted suicide previous to the time
of Ahithope but his was the first
put on record in wilfully breaking the
commandments and deliberately ar
ranging for his self-destruction.
"It is no less n mortal sin to COM
NIT suicide today than It was In the
time of Ahithophel, but it Is a sad
fact that self-destruction Is alarming
ly on the increase. Many are led to
commit the act through so many diff
ferent causes, such as disappointments
in love affairs. business, domestic diff
ficulties and many others. These
have become so common that they
present nothing of a shocking nature
to the nerves of the general public.
"It is often said that people are in
sane when they commit suicide, which
think Is not so in many instances
when they deliberately arrange to
take their lives as did Ahithophel and
Overwork great anxiety and i'll health
often cause suicide. In the rush Of
commercial life men are working be-
yond their natural strength and in
meeting them on the streets they bear
the strained expressions of business
anxieties.

but worry that kills. People should
obtain rest from God and the worry
ing would cease. Many become wor-
ried because they have forgotten the
