If any woman who is suffering with any alment peculiar

exclusively from simple formula of roots and herbs

PHYSICIAN TALKS ON
DISEASE and HEALTH
DIR. A. n. Hanson Addresses Third
Ward Pnrents' Glass in First of
Lecture Series.

The Third ward parents class was
addressed yesterday by DR.. A. N. Han
son in the first of a series of talks on
tho prevention of disease or how to
keep we'll. This talk was in the nature
of an Introduction of the general sub
ject of health and disease. the causes OF
each. and especially the subject of in
lection was explained In detail. The
various kinds and forms of bacteria
were mentioned and the part each plays
in the maintenance OF health or the
production of disease.
AS to the Importance OF parents
classes, DR.. Hanson said he considered
them one of the most impor-
tant steps taken by the Church.
The questions of public and pri-
vate health. he said, are the
most vital questions confronting civili-
zation today. The magnitude of the
question is made manifest by the fact
that Ii is 4 world wide movement to-
day and is international In its scope.
One of the most recent theories is that
the decay OF the great civilization of
ancient Greece before the Christian
era was the ravages among the people
of malaria. And yet the people under
stand very little about the question of
disease. Fantastic miscopception takes
the place OF exact information on near
ly all the phases OF this subject
By Infection, the doctor said, is meant
the Invasion of the body by parasitic
organism. the multiplication of which
in the tissues produces functional de-
rangement. Any condition of the body
wherein ii varies from the normal is
disease. This arrangement Is very gcn-
orally but not always caused by the
minute organisms In tissues. which arc
called bacteria. These forms of bac-
terIa that inhabit tissues are OF such
minute size that they are discovered
only by the most powerful microscope,
and some, as the one that causes tho
foot and mouth disease attacking sheep
and cattle. are invisible to even the
highest power microscope The organ
ism that causes erysipelas is so small
that when 1t is magnified 1000 dame
ters. it still looks like the point of a
fair sized needle.
The doctor said that many may Won
der what harm such minute organisms
could do in bodies. But he declared
that there was not one person in the
room but whose bodies are covered by
hundreds of billions of these creatures.
But there are countless billions Of these
creatures in the world that do not cause
disease. Bacteria are divided into two
classes, the disease producing germs
and the -pathogenic germs. In form
and size and divergences the various
kinds OF bacteria differ as much as do
the various kinds of trees and shrubs In
the world
The doctor pointed out that bacteria
are short lived and only grow we'll un-
der proper conditions. Still II the prop

PROUD OF CACHE COUNTY.

E. W. Robinson. speaker of the house
OF representatives of the Eighth legis-
lative assembly. spent a few hours in
Salt Lake City yesterday. In speaking
of Cache county. where his residence is,
he declared that the beet crop this year
exceeded anything he has ever seen.
Near Wellsville he assorted he saw a
pile OF beets that covered close to an
acre of ground and piled as high as
they could be thrown from wagon.
The wheat crop he asserted was equally
as good. Mr.. Robinson declared that
considerable interest Is being shown
in dry farming in Curlew valley.

Ing as his text, Luke xviii: S5-4s
The doctor drew four distinct points
from his subject, first. the realization
OF the need of Christ; second. the blind
man grasping at the opportunity;
third. he was desperately in earnest,
and fourth. he needed the call. Just

er culture Is present they multiply with
rapidity that Is appalling. For In
stance. the single -ceiled organism that
causes the puss In bols when implanted
In n good medium and kept at the
body temperature for "a hours would
develop somewhere between 100000
and 10000 900 similar organisms. The
organism of tuberculosis Is very slow
in growth and would take weeks to pro-
duco the same number OF germs as the
pus organism does in "a hours,
Among the organisms that arc not
harmful, the doctor pointed out the
familiar phenomena of decay There are
very often germs there that are not
harmful to man. The green matter that
accompanies the appearance of the head
OF boil is not deadly, but Is necessary
In the process OF decay. So also the or
ganism that causes milk to go sour.
Moreover, the taste in the butter and in
cheese Is caused by organisms that are
not Injurious In themselves to man.
The growth OF the wheat of the field
and the carrots. the growth of the pota-
to, of the pine and of the oak, and the
mightiest trees, is due to bacterial ac-
tivity, Various organisms have vari-
GUS functions. Some are deadly to man
and some are for his good.
The question was asked by one of the

Next week the doctor announced he
would deal with specific infections and
how to prevent them.

Marvellous Gowns of Women

Don Gaspar de Portola and Queen
Vergiia received society last evening
at the Fsirmont. in the ballroom, sup
ported in their brilliant court by the
navies of the world. They entered their
court announced by the trumpet blast
ot the herald.
II was a gorgeous court that the
royal lady of San Francisco and the
permanent governor of the state held.
For their major domo they had the
experienced service of Edward NJ.
Greenway, who stood loyalty at the
door and saw that only the faithful
sdherents of his leiges passed into the
sacred circle Of the court.
There were many to dance and make
merry at the ball in honor of Don Gas
par and queen Vergilia- Eight hun
dred Of the tried and true subjects of
the pair were summoned TO the affair
and every one OF them came. The
ballroom was filled.
While Portola's reign is scarcely a
political event, still there was a re-
semblance OF a political gathering at
the Fairmont. There was a brilliant
overflow meeting in the lobby of the
Falrmont
NOTABLE SCENE IN LOBBY
Before the golden hinges of the
ballroom swung open TO admit the
dancers there was notable scene in
the great lobby Of the hotel. From
wall TO wall the lobby was filled with
fashionable women and their escorts.
the prominent men of the city. There
the costumes OF the evening were gen
erously displayed for the delight of
the overflow meeting.
The ballroom was simply decorated.
i was 2 POrtola court and there was
no mistake Of that fact. The red and
yellow coiors We're blended in the
lightest and most delicate manner. For
the lights of the chandeliers were red
and yellow alternately. They proved
that the Portola colors are not of ne
cessity riOtous but may be soft and
gentle, fit TO light the hall of
queen. The ballroom was gracefully
fTinged with green wrea tbs and en-
twined streamers. and in the center,
where the streamers met, was the
Spanish token, group of gaudy yell
low and, red fans, with the picture of
the matadors teasing the bull with
true Spanish enthusiasm
Il was II O'Clock before Don Gaspar
and Queen Vergilia arrived.
QUEEN IN ROYAL ROBES
She appeared at the doors in a royal
ermine cape, which she gracefully
doffed and entered TO he with the frolic
OF her subjects. With her was Don
Gaspar. He was in but moderate fin
cry lie wore a military uniform or
toe present era, of the elaborate
day in which he first lived and ex-
plored San Francisco's haunts-
There was the blast Of a trumpet
sounded by a herald as the queen ap-
preached the ballroom. She stood for
loosely her royal crimson cape Colo
mel Lundeen, L. s. A, in the full uni
form Of his rank, stepped TO the
queens side, and as the cloak slipped
from the girls shoulders he caught it
and gallantly bore il on his arm. Then
Queen Vergilia gave her arm to Don
Gaspar and the two fere in the royal
confines of the ball.
What gave the ball of last evening
splendid distinction was the number of
uniformed army and naval officers and
the unusually attractive gowns of the
women.
