The following article. under the

the Chicago Tribune:

lslonaries never are idle. and as con
| crete result OF their activities Il may
be pointed out that .43l copies of the
Book of Mormon were sold from the
Chicago mission during the month of
June of this year. II is safe to say
that no church or denomination in the
state. Protestant or Catholic, saw that
many new bibles distributed among
it's members in the same length of
I time. Within the last two years the
Chicago mission of the Mormon
church has sold 1900 copies of the
/ Book of Mormon. The book Is printed
on expensive paper and contains Gao
Images of reading matter. Besides
these books there have been sold 70,.
600 other books treating Of Mormon
ism. More than a million booklets
averaging thirty-two pages each, and
twice that number of pamphlets and
tracts have been distributed.

Chicago families have been visited by

missionaries spent 22,i3l hours in
street preaching and gospel converse
ton. and as result of this they had
$4,000 earnest inquiries about the
church and their work. In the Chi

last year and several hundred chill
dren were baptized In the faith. Al
OF these figures were supplied by the
Mormon elder In Chicago and may be
accepted. therefore, as an accurate

this city
The Mormons. 10 the average mind
are indelibly associated with polyg

A Household Necessity.

No household is complete without a pet grandfather, especially if there is baby to be ruined and an air of cheerfulness to be kept up, remarks Tom Mason in Delineator.
 Secure for your purposes a grand father with a lack of morals, a jovial disposition and about million dollars. Let him roam at large wherever he will.
 It does not matter much whether he is a grandfather on your wifes side or on yours. If he is on your wife's side you will secretly dislike him; if he is on your side, she will. But you will both let him be on account of the mil lion
 Never permit grandpa to be out of the nursery when baby is in it. Then, when anything is broken, we can blame him, and pull his leg" for a new one.
 Babies and grandpas always go wei! together. They are both the same age. It is well to bear this in mind Keep savings bank for both of them. And
  pa. When they are full, carefully re- move the interiors and begin all over again.
 It is not necessary to provide more than one grandpa, no matter how many children you may have. Two grandpas in one house often lead to an inter necine war.
 When you go out with your wife, always leave grandpa in charge of the baby. It is not necessary to tell him to mind He will, anyway, as a matter of course.
 When our baby outgrows grandpa, secure another immediately. Remem- Der that grandpa must be amused and that he is amply able to pay for it.

THE BEST PHYSIC
SLEEP IS INDEED A SWEET RE
 STORER.
This Is All That Most Victims at Nervous Breakdown Need to Recover Lost Health
 and Vieor.

One of the features of modern times is the prevalence of what we term neurasthenia, or nervous break down, says the London Express. These names apply to condition of physical and mental ill-health which is the direct result of the age in which we live and the pace at which we are living. Massage and electricity and novel treatments" and cures are called upon to repair what we have brought upon ourselves by our up- to-date ways of life, by worry and excitement
 There are hundreds of women of the Apper and middle classes just now bewailing their nerves" and cry tng out that headaches and insomnia and depression are spelling their lives. This is a neurotic age, and half the world of men and women not noly burn the candle at both ends, but in the middle as well. The strenuous life is almost necessity to the man or woman who is ambitious socially, politically or commercially. We are so anxious to get on" we attempt to do far more than we are constitu- tionally fit for, and nervous break down is the inevitable result
 Lack of repose is a prime factor in the causation of "nerves;" the con- stant rush in the social and business world, the frantic pursuit of pleasure and amusement are frequent precur- sors of nervous ill-health. We reck- lessly expend our energy; we have TO time to rest, and nobody listens to the advocates and disciples of the simpler life.
 Home life, quiet domesticity are becoming rarer every year. Simple pleasures "homely joys" and the family circle" are ridiculously old fashioned terms. Is it any wonder that nervous breakdown and prema ture decay are on the increase?
 The remedy lies mainly with us women-our influence can do a great deal, our example more, to cOunteract the restlessness and excitement char acteristic of this age.
 We must preach the gospel of rest Hard work nowadays means severe nervous strain, and the constant ap- plication to bushes asnd professional affairs demands regular periods of quiet and complete rest. if the work CTS are to retain their health. It is the more important that the home at mosphere be such as will restore the balance and lessen the tension of the inevitable nerve strain outside.
 Unquietness in the home, the tyran- ny of social engagements and world ly duties, following upon a strenu- ous working day, gives no opportunity for repose. The power to be quiet, the virtue of repose, is worth cultivat- ing in this age of neurotic women; the woman who is constantly on the move, striving after something just out of her reach, diffuses an atmos- phere of disquiet and vulgar unrest around her To be busy does not necessarily mean to achieve; busting activity is too often barren of real progress.
