Kansas City. Mo-, April 1.-THE
reorganized church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints continued their an
nual conference at Independence to-
day. The divorce question was dis
posed of yesterday after an interest
ing debate and by the refusal to adopt
a resolution forbidding the ministry
to marry divorces.
President Joseph Smith spoke at
length, being opposed to undertaking
legislative enactment against possible
conting gencies in the marriage and di-
vorce laws. He questioned restrictive
measures which might be injurious
and unjust to innocent men and
women. Marriage was a mutual con-
tract, he said. suppose" said the
president. "by reason of my fiendish-
ness I was driven from home with a
broom stick. where would the mar
riage contract be?''
President Smith referred to cases
of insanity, and alluded to the Thaw
case in New York.
There is not man who has mar
ried in his youth, who was not cap
tured by a dimple, bright look, a
toss of the head, who is not and can

THE PLACE FOR FUNSTON.
Announcement From Washington That
He'll Head Leavenworth School.

Washington, April lit was an
nounced at the White House today that
Brgadier General Frederick Funston
would be detailed to succeed Major
General Charles B. Hall at Fort Leav-
enworth. General Hall will be retired
for age April 20. General Funston,
however, will remain in command of
the department of California until after
the military demonstration in honor of
Admiral Evans fleet, May 6. Senator
Curtis recently urged President Roose-
welt to promote Funston to the grade
of major general The president was
tention to the fact that Funston will
not retire for age until 1927, and there
will be ample time for him to attain
the highest grade. Vacancies that
might have been given him have been
filled by the promotion of older Off
GERS, who otherwise would have been
retired as brigadiers.
. While the detail Of General Funston
to be president of the Fort Leaven-
worth school Is not actually a promo
tion over the detail of department
commander, it is regarded as one of
the most desirable posts in the SER
Funston's transfer since the depar-
ture from the city of Secretary Taft,
who has not been consulted concerning
1t. Major General Bell, chief of staff,
readily approved the idea, however.
General Funston has had no academic
military training and his experience at
Fort Leavenworth will be valuable to
him. With nearly 20 years before him
in the military service, war depart
ment officials say he should have the
advantage of all training possible.

ENOUGH DIAPEPS|N To- RELIEVE
ENTIRE FAMILY Of INDIGESTION.

If you will get from your pharmacist
a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin you
could always go to the table with
hearty appetite, and your meals would
taste good, because you would know
there would be no Indigestion or Sleep
less nights or Headache or Stomach
misery all the next day; and, besides.
you would not need laxatives or liver
pills to keep your stomach and bowels
clean and fresh.
These 50-cent cases contain more
than enough to cure the worst dys-
peptic, and often sufficient to relieve
other members of the family. There is
nothing better known for Gas on the
Stomach or sour odors from the stom-
ach or to cure a Stomach Headache.
The complete formula is plainly
printed on these 50-cent cases, and as
soon as you read that, you will under
stand what a blessing you have, as Dia-
pepsin couldn't harm any one.
You couldn't keep a handler or more
useful article in the house.
