and thereby close it earlier,
leaving a longer measure of
sunlight in the afternoon. The
matter has made such progress
that special report from a Sc
lected committee OF the house
of commons has gone so far as
to agree that it would be well
to set the hands Of the clock
back one hour i'm April, and
then set the hands forward one
hour in September The rea-
sons that led the Ecommittee to
these conclusions are that it
would move the usual hours Of
work and leisure nearer to sun
rise; it would permit the greater
use of daylight for recreative
purposes Of all kinds; IL would
benefit the physique. general
health and welfare of all classes
and would finally reduce the i'm
dustrial and commercial and
domestic expenditure of artiti-
cial light.
In England it is figured that
enc hours OF daylight will be
gained by beginning the day
nearer sunrise, and as there are
13,G60,00o people i'm England.
Mr. Willett figures that the am
nual saving would be i'm the
neignborhood of $4,000 900 for
money spent for artificial light.
or, taking off third be fig I
urcs the minimum saving would f
bee Sl2, 100000. But apart from
this, il would mean that In Vim f
ginia. for example. the sun
would not set until $500 ON the

compressed poppy. The outer covering
is thick layer OF dried leaves. In
side the building the whole place is
full of smoke, arising from a hundred
charcoal fires in open earthenware
"chattis," placed in a row around the
walls. Over each fire rests a shallow
brass pan in which bubbles a mixture
of poppy and water This mixture is
strained through paper and passes on
to be more carefully boiled in the next
room, where the process is exactly
similar. From there it goes to another
room. where the strip is reduced to the
of treace over slow fires.
In another building the opium is pack
ed in tiny cans and placed in cases and
sealed with the government seal.

Jefferson MiSCOnStrued.

Greater familiarity with the record left behind by
Thomas Jefferson would save some of our ambitious
public speakers from the humiliation of wrong con-
clusions Up to the close of his valuable life, Jefer
son admonished the Republic he had been instru-
mental in founding against the danger of the church
in Government contending that the only safety
in keeping them apart, each to perform its sep
arate function.
His wisdom came to him through the troubles that
beset France, which wrecked the rock of
church and state in combination for the Government
of the people. The constitution of the United States
echoes he sentiment of Jefferson in saying:
No religious test shall ever be required as quail
fcation any office public trust under the United
States
Yet recent speaker before an Ada County club
based his alliance in politics and, Of course, Gov
eminent, with the Mormon church upon what he
knew of the teachings of Jefferson, contending that
the author of the declaration of independence advo
Gated that which he absolutely repudiated How is
the rising generation learn right things under such
teaching?

Useful i'm a Way.

In its relation to politics. gratitude has been de-
fined as a lively sense of favors to come. Following
the relationship its antithesis, ngratitude, one
may define the latter as sentiment that asserts itself
when it becomes evident that favors bestowed can
not be repeated.
There are many in this class and they useful
in their way They serve embellsh the doctrine of
total depravity that the moralsts take pleasure in
expounding, often proving contention that would
otherwise be lost But they not very we'll liked,
even by those whose cause they last espoused, for
they are of the kind that disposed to the
Lord today and go the devil tomorrow, and of such
even the devil becomes pardonably suspicious.
Generally the most active in politics those
that have exhausted than their reasonable dues
from one set of patrons and find it necessary to
change base that they may again become mbued with
the hope of reward without which their interest in
politics withers and droops and perishes.
1t is only everlasting expectation that fills such
men with an appreciation of the policies and princi
pies with which political parties deal
