MOTHERS WILL
WAGE WAR ON
MORMON CREED
Polygamy Growing,
Says Speaker
Rev. w. H. Paden of Salt Lake City
Paints Vivid Picture for the
Congress of Joseph
Smithism

Polygamy and it's evils to the mothers
and children in the states through which
it extends. has been the subject of a
declaration of war by the National
Mothers congress who have asked every
one to help them wipe out thi3 viper,
"Polygamous living is more prevalent
in Utah than it is In Turkey and 1t is
not dying out either" was the statement
made last night by Rev. w. H. Paden,
pastor of the First Presbyterian church
of Salt Lake City, Utah, at the session
of the Mothers congress in the Ebell
club house. He said
"It is one of the privileges or the par
ticularly pious to practice polygamy IN
Utah, and no matter what they may think
men like Senator Reed Smoot have never
dared to say publicly that polygamy is
anything but pure, good and holy. The
people have neither freedom of speech
nor power of action. No good Mormon
dares lift up his voice against his church
and its rules. Even a Gentle who dares
to call attention to the polygamous
habits of his neighbors is rebuked by
everyone for bringing reproach upon the
good name of Utah.
PoIygamy Growing
For every man that you can point out
who has given up polygamy will show
you SIX other cases where they nave
taken plural wives, In the last seven
years l know of only one man who has

he cannot live his religion without
living with more than one wife.
Were Joseph F. Smith an ordinary
hide-and hid ,go-seek polygamist, we might
pluralist rampant and regnant, a po-
lygamarch. With him in the saddle,
polygamous living is not mere theo-
retical possibility but an active con-
dition and assertions of authority are
not formal but factual and actual.
when the homogeneous majority of
the Mormon people refuse to sustain a
polygamous sultan or to submit to
the rule of polygamous apostles the
decadence of polygamy will begin.
When this same homogeneous majority
dares to repudiate not only the prac
tice but the principle of polygamy and
ceases to encourage or connive a
polygamous living, the cat will die"

is not so much what it does as the
means it gives of exchanging ideas
and of getting new thoughts.
I'VE must provide out children with
sufficient school facilities. In Los An
geles the school children are increasing
10 per cent year, but We have no money
provision which shall cover that increase.
II want you to keep your children from
making school such an expensive luxury.
There Is no need for the high school boys
and girls to have SO many secret socie-
ties or SO mnay social organizations.
There are three things which a school
should supply-good health, opportunity
for getting knowledge and the proper
sort of a moral standpoint. We must
have the hearty and wise cooperation of
the homes to form healthy, more hon
est, more sincere, and better race. The |
school is only helper to the home, and |
the school fights for health, knowledge |
and character"

NEW YORK, May 14-Thirty firemen
were overcome by smoke in a stub
born fire today in the subcellar and
basement of a five-story building at
1926 Broadway, occupied in part by the
salesrooms and offices of the Reming-
ton Typewriter company.
The burning materials in the cellar
filled the store rooms with suffocating
smoke. With no windows to allow the
escape of the smoke the firemen were
unable to withstand the fumes.
One after another they were brought
out unconscious, but were soon revided.

SOCIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS

Two rather important appearing
Germans, who by their own confess
sion do nothing for living and en-
joy it, are Fred Hagendown and Will
liam Macro of Berlin. They are at
the Alexandria for a few days and
pronounce Los Angeles one of the best
cities they have visited in the coun-
try. This decision on their part as
to the merits of the Angel city may
be due to the fact that the Alexandria

zem left over by the Shriners, for,
according to the kaiser's subjects, the
greatest difficulty they have expert
enced in America is the prohibition of

that name.
Herr Hagendown is a student of
economic conditions in a small way
and his observations are interesting to
an American.
1.-THE Socialists in Germany" said
Hagendown "are real power in pol
itics, but in the United States they
seem to represent the spirit of unrest

cities. However, as one who does

titled to the product of his own labor,

So says M. A. Evansquin of Buenos
Ayres, who is making a pleasure tour
of America. Mr. Evansquin is a hand
some young man who has a theory
that it is better to work a little and
play little, and he has a system by
which he spends at least half of his
time travelling. He says he has been
all over Europe and the British isles,
but in no place has he seen so much
that interested him as in America.
He speaks nearly all the modern Ian
guages fluently except English, and
that he is just learning. He has more
time than he knows what to do with
and he is getting rid of it by sightsee-
ing in California. He is at the Alex
andria and will go in few days to the
Yosemite valley.
"This is beautiful and a wonderful
country" he said. There is always
something new to see."

Bee Cure for Rheumatism.
From Life


One of the latest cures for rheumatism
is bees. These are applied to the place or
places most in need
Care should be taken before applying
the remedy TO secure good, active bees.
Some bees are naturally timid by nature.
They are undersized aud underfed and
have not the courage Of their stngers II
must not always be inferred, however.
that the size OF the bee determines his
power. 1t frequently happens that a small
bee will make up in energy and persever-
ance what he lacks in avoirdupois.
Some bees have naturally kind disposi-
tions They avoid trouble III is almost
unnecessary to say that these are not the
best for our purpose

be able to tell almost at a glance the most
ferocious bees, and viii learn methods OF
his own to goad them on to their task II
is well, if possible to examine them indi-
vidually, and see that their stingers are in

The Evolution of
Household Remedies

The modern patent medicine busi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD IT'S HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxative and tonics, were to be
| found in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the
family doctor. Such remedies as
picra, which was alees and quassia,
dissolved in apple brandy. Some
times hop tonic, made of whiskey,
hops and bitter barks. A score OF
more of popular, homemade remedies
were thus compounded, the formulae
for which were passed along frcm
house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness Of one of
these homemade remedies, would
take 1t up, improve il in many ways,
manufacture it on a large scale, ad-
vertise it mainly through almanacs
for the home, and thus it would be-
come used over large area. LAT
TERLY THE H0US SEHOLD
REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by
the MennoniteS, of Pennsylvania,
before it was offered to the public for
sale. Dr.. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL
COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of
Mennonite origin. First, he pre-
scribed it for his neighbors and his
patients. The sale of it increased,
and at last he established a manu-
factory and furnished it to the
general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs,
colds, sore throat, bronchitis and
catarrhal diseases generally.
THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE
LEARNED THE USE OF pERUNA
and its value in the treatment of
these ailments. They have learned
to trust and believe in DR.. Hartman's
judgment, and TO rely on his remedy,

When Prince Bismarck first went as the
representative Of Prussia to the federal
diet at Frankfort, Prussia was of very
small account compared with Austria, and
Bismarck found that he was treated with
Indifference at his hotel. He was given
a room which had not even a bell and
when he complained he was told that
what was good enough for other travellers
was good enough for the Prussian dele
gate. Bismarck said no more, but early
the next morning the hotel was startled
by a tremendous explosion. The landlord
came rushing into Bismarck's room to
know what was the matter and was told
that, as there was no bell the Prussian
delegate had arranged with his valet to
fire a pistol whenever he required his
services Bismarck got his bell without de-
lay
