How to Lonathen Life of PiIIOwoase.

Every housewife knows how soon
pillOwcases wear out. but it took re-
markably clever woman to see at
glance how she could prolong their
lives. When her pillOwcases are be-
ginning to show signs Of wear she
takes out the seam at the bottom Of
the case and turns it round, so that
the side seams come directly up In the
middle. Then she reseams the bottom.
1t is easy TO see that this will bring
the side Of the pillow under the head,
where the wear would come, so the
pilowcase will last longer. A better
idea could not be found. and who
minds sewing up pillowcase seamT

THERE is NO PROOF.

The anti-"Mormon' organ not only
''loveth and maketh a Die" but IL has
made lies its refuge; It has hid itself
under falsehood. and IL caters to the
taste Of those who delight in the per-
version Of truth
This Is evident In number OF its
dull and monotous editorials. and es-
pecially IN those relating 20 so-callcd
polygamous marriages Tho other day
it returned 20 the old. worn out story
that the Temples contain records or
marriages performed ln violation OF
law. We have asked whence the or
gan has that Information Has ID cx-
amined the records? Has anybody who
has examined them told the paper
what they contain? n not. we do not
see what il can base its charge on. II
It has neither personal knowledge nor
reliable testimony It's unsupported as
sertion is worth no more than the howl
hng Of an owl az night
But we must refer. for a moment
20 the methods by which st tries 10 give
its falsohoods the appearance OF being
supported by evidence II quotes Presi-
dent Joseph r. Smith as having testi-
fed before the Senate committee that
1--WE keep records % an marriages, I be-
lieve. as far as ! know" and that these
records are kept at the temples. And
that is quoted as an evidence that UNI
lawful marriages are performed and the
records kept in the temples That Is
reading into the testimony Of the
venerable President OF the Church
something he never said. He did
not say anything about unlawful
marriages. or course, a record IS kept
in each temple Of the marriages per-
formed there. and that record IS also,
of course. sent 70 the respective county
clerks. as the law provides. But
what has that 20 do with the false
charge Of the organ that unlawful mar
riages have hecn entered into, after
the Manifesto by the consent OF the
Church authorities?
You might just as wei charge that

tain records OF plural marriages II

we have no access TO those records,
