7 WANTED - PHYSICIAN
TO PRESCRIBE OUR BOOKS
By polly Penn,

y =
Wouldn't it be a. good thing for us
to have a doctor Of letters prescribe
for us sometimes, instead of a doctor
of medicine9
What many people really need is not
a medicine for the nerves, nor tonic
for a rundown system, so much as a
good course in reading.
There is no antidote for sorrow like
books. In mental distress of any kind
books, rightly chosen, are worth more
than change of scene or doses Of eva
ters.O
To be thoroly interested in good
book is to lose $ self and all ones
troubles entirely, and SO to have peace:
One must come back to the turmoil OF
real life when the reading is done, to
be sure, but one brings a wider vision
and calmer thoughts.
ooh, but I cannot read. Ny trouble
is too great, too disturbing. I cannot
ble s one. nAnq yet I TIL think I I shall shall
go mad if I let myself sit and think -
Poor soul, not to know the tonic
qualities of good books! Not to know
that they hold strength for us, and an
educ cation which will teach us to live
Why, they have been the salvation,
mentally and physically, of some who
have passed thru deep waters of woe.
In the crisis of my life, when all
my dreams were turned to dust, and all
my future lay dead and spoiled before

read at it, with staring eyes that saw
not one word read, and despairing
mind that grasped not one sentence. I
forced myself to keep at it, making
legible, careful notes when I was ut
terly unconscious of what I wrote I
knew had got to master something or

triumphed, and the little Greek book
led me back to sanity and strength. -
Mental effort like that would bring
strength to- many IN trouble. The
mind can open new doors to serener
life if the mind IS owner will let it.
Not only solace and forgetfulness,
but inauguration for. the worn out
with Cervantes, Goldsmith or Mark
Twain will act as an effervescent
draught on iaded senses and give us
the habit Of looking on the bright side
of life. .. -.-..
There are books which suit the
thoughtful mood, and books to suit the
careless; authors who rest, and authors
who spur on to greater activity; books
to act as an antidote for every form
of mental disease-which means sim
ply the negation of ease.
And if we do not know ourselves
which to choose. and could call in
some wise man to prescribe our mental
diet, and see to it that we took our
doses conscientiously, we should find
relief from many ills and take fresh
joy in living.

censures President for Assisting Nor

Washington.-The Senate Thursday
listened to the second speech wnict
has been made this session against the
continuance OF Reed Smoot as sena
tor from Utah. n was delivered by
Senator Dubois of Idaho, who after re
viewing in detail the workings Of thu
Mormon Church and MIR. Roots promi

with the charge that President Roose
welt used the W light of his administra
ton to assist the Mormon Republican
vote in the last election.
Mr.. Dubois asserted the control o.
the church to be complete in the hier
archy, consisting of the presidenc,
and the twelve apostles. OF which Mr.
Smoot was one This control. he main
tanned, was ecclesiastical. political anc
commercial, and was exercised com
pletely over followers who come prin
cipally from foreign countries. The
constant tendency, he said. was to
make the church and state one, witt
the control in the church.
As to Senator SmOot. he said,
made no difference whether he was o
was not a polygamist. The senate
was a pillar In the church and In con
troll OF its temporal. spiritual and pc
litical policies. and was selected fol
the Senate because of his position.
"Smoot," he said. represents tn
church and not the state and would dc
the bidding of the church before h.
would serve the real interests OF th'
state or of the nation. BY being a.
apostle of the chuch. Smoot Is mem
Der CT this high conspiracy. He Is on
of the chief conspirators, and by his
acquiescence supports the plans and
aims OF the conspiracy"

asserted, would do more than anything
else to put a stop to polygamy.

HEAVY INHERITANCE TAX
Advocated by Andrew Carnegie In New
York Speech.


New York--Andrew Carnegie. in an
address before the National Civic Fed.
Grafton Thursday said that he believed
the major portion of the estates Of
enormously wealthy men should go to
tne state upon the death of the pos
SCISSOR OF the fortune. Mr., Carnegie
opposed graduated income tax.
Melville e. Ingalls, of Cincinnati
addressed himself to the subject OF an
income and Inheritance tax. especially
with a view to limiting the large accu-
mutations OF wealth in the possession
OF individuals. He said that there had
been In the last few years three pro-
Inc sources of multi-millionaires
which are open to criticism. These. he
said. were the tariff. Illegal favors and
contracts given to the shippers by the
railways. and the securing by means
which were questionable. OF contracts
at nominal prices for the use Of the
streets of various cities for the pur-
pose Of transportation and lighting. He
said that Illegal favors had been In
many cases wrung from the railways
by the shippers and said that this form
OF evil had been used in combination
with the tariff.
William ID. Guthrie. lawyer, who
led the fight in the local courts against
an income tax, on constitutional
grounds. held that there must. under
American institutions, be equality Of
taxation.
Andrew Carnegie, who followed,
said that he was in hearty accord with
Mr.. Guthrie.
Il think an income tax would pene-
trate business to the core" said Mr..
Carnegie. Il think this country
would never regret anything SO much
as to impose such a tax. / differ with

1.-THE subject of wealth distribution
will not down."
Mr.. Carnegie said he believed. mas
much as the wealth properly belonged
to the community, the latter. on the
death OF the posse ssor, should acquire
a great portion of the wealth. having
had a large portion to do with Its de-
velopment.
"Our cnuntry fails in its duty" said
Mr.. Carnegie. "if 1t does not exact
share, a tremendous share. OF the es-
tate of the enormously wealthy upon

community. Do not mistake me. l dc
not advocate the mai ing OF a man a
pauper, or the paupe rizing OF his chill

made the wealth. He did not make the
ore, or the coal or the gold that he dug
