MORMON DEPENDS PoLYGAMY.
Elder Roberts Declares Church Has
Not Surrendered One Iota of its
Belief in Plural Marriages.

Salt Lake CITY, Utah. = A sensa-
tional feature of the controversy
which has been waged between the
ministers of the Evangelical churches
and the Mormon priesthood was the
address delivered in the Tabernacle
Sunday by Elder Brigham H Roberts,
once excluded from congress because
of his POlygamous practices. He
spoke in reply to an open letter pub
Ished by the ministerial association.
Elder Roberts frankly declared thac
the church had surrendered 10 one
iota of its belief in the principle OF
polygamy, but countenanced no poly
gamous marriages while they were for
Didden by law OF himself lie said:
Il stand exactly where l did ten
years ago, namely that though the
church proclaimed against the contin-
uatiOn of this relationship, though the
state proclaimed against it, neither the
church nor the state may absolve
the moral obligations l am under,
or release me from that moral duty"
Mr.. Roberts characterized the minis
ters as belonging TO a third sex neither
male nor female and said they were
better qualified for pink teas than
statesmanship. All OF :he high of
ficials of the church, including Pres
ident Smith, were present and tactic
ally endorsed the address OF Mr.. Rob

The Jail has been well administered,
but is fuller than it should be, due, I
fear, to the abolition of the cangue

from a repetition of corporal punish

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
bic can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinIy because Of its great

AFRAID OF PARALYSIS
A NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED
BY Oh. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red

Tonic for the Nerves

The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red
Blood and Performs Wonders a.
Tonic for the Nerves
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why q remedy that acts ON the blood
can cure nervous troubles
1t explains why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nOurishmen5
through the blood Let the blood be-
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck
Nervous people are pale people-but the
pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part OF tho work of the
body. Dr. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood and transform nervous, irrit-
able, ailing people into strong, energetic,
forcefu1 men and women.
Mrs. Harriet +. Porter, of 20 Liberty
avenue, South Medford, Mass, says:
"l had never been we'll from child
hood and few years ago began to
have dizzy spells. At such times could
not walk straight. I was afraid of
paralysis and was on tie verge of
nervous prostration. Then neuralgia
set IN and affected the side OF my face.
The pains in my forehead We're excru-
ciating and my heart panied me so that
my doctor feared neuralgia of the heart.
/ tried several different kinds of treat
ment but they did me no good.
"One day my son brought me some Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and found
that they strengthened my nerves. I
took several boxes and felt better in
every way. There were no more dizzy
attacks, the neuralgia left roe and have
been q well woman ever since"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are invaluable
in anemia, rheumatism, after effects of
the grip and fevers and in sick head
aches, nervousness, neuralgia, and even
partial paralysis AMI locomotor ataxia.

makes half the usual quantity of Starch
