Crook of Mormon y

The Book of Mormon" has been
proved to be a literary plagiarism, be-
ing a free paraphrase of romance
written by the Rev. Solomon Spalding
In 1916, the manuscript of which came
into the possession of Joseph Smith,
and he, sitting behind curtain, die
tated it to Oliver Cowdery, who, seat
ed out of sight of the reader wrote
the matter as it was given him. Smith
pretended that the book was discov-
cred to him by revelation and dug up
from the side OF hill not far from
Palmyra, in the county of Ontario, N.
Y. The claim was made by Smith that
the writing on the plates was engraved
in reformed Egyptian" which he was
unable to read until magic spectacles,
which he called his Trim and Thum-
min, were given to him, enabling him
both to read and translate into Eng
lish. The spectacles and the metal
plates have disappeared, and the story
of the dictation makes tolerably clear
the manner in which the Book Of
Mormon" had it's nssl@s'

One of the most delightful and en- =
joyable affairs of the season was the
Colonial Tea given at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. A. Rylander Friday evening
by the Ladies Hospital Association.
This hospitable home had been most
beautifully decorated and brilliantly
lighted. The decorations were very
effective in the patriotic colors. Myriads
and picture mouldings, the mantels, and
cabinets were banked in white narcissii
and red camelias. Majestic palms and
graceful ferns were placed at intervals
throughout the house in handsome
jardiniers. Especially attractive were
the decorations in the dining room.
The table had as centerpiece, a
miniature cherry tree, and surrounding
this were bowls filed with red camelias,
and silver candlesticks holding red un-
shaded tapers. Serving coffee here
were Mrs. G. w. Bacot and Mrs. w. ]
Josey.
Punch was served in the library from
a prettily decorated nook by Misses
Emma Mae Borum and Susanna Sim
mons.
The tempting luncheon was served
by eight young girls, who were quite
picturesque with their highly pompa-
doured, powdered hair and frock fash
toned after the Martha Washington
style. They were Misses Ruth Lamar,
Gertrude and Lucille Jossey, Mary
Bagley, Darien Pinkston, Marie Hag-
gerty, Mary Hooper and Mary Little
john.
During the evening an interesting
program was rendered, by Prof. Nc
Neil, Miss Margaret Buchanan, Miss
Florence Niles, Mrs. John Butt, Prof.
Billiard, Miss SalIie Johnson, Littlo
Misses Lucy Barrow Taylor and Ellen
Estes. Mr.. and Mrs. Rylander were
most gracious host and hostess and
made the evening one of the happiest
of the season.

LETTER TO MRS. BARNEY BALL


Dear Madam: Ifyou should bake bread
that people like better than any other,
and at less cost by the day, you'd haye
pretty good business, wouldn't you?
We have just such business as that
in paint; gallon goes further than any
other gallon of paint in the country
that's bread at less cost by the day; but
the difference isn't so small as it is in
bread. And a job wears longer-that's
bread at less cost by the year. People
hate to paint; it costs money to paint;
and they hate the fuss. They like our
bread by the year.
If your bread is better than anybody
else's, and cost less too, you've got a
good trade; for people do like good
bread; and people like money. 1t
doesn't take long to fnd-out; give'em
time.
But you can't bake better than any
BODY -else's bread for half the usual
price for breakfast, can you?
Devoe is just such paint as that. The
price by the gallon or loaf is no matter.
Count by the day week month year
lifetime. Devoe is the bread. We hope
yours is as good.
Yours truly
"a F w Devoe dSl,Co

You should know

That the most valuable cod
liver preparation known to
medicine is VINOL.
That's because Vinol con-
tains all the medicinal ele-
ments of cod liver oil, but not
a drop of the useless oil.
That's why Vinol creates
health and strength for old
people, women and children.
That's why Vinol cures
