railroads, and practically inaccessible
20 the outside world. All natural
conditions, therefore, favor conceal
ment. 1t is probably no exaggera-
tion TO assume that ten plural mar.
riages have taken place for every
one that has become known.
Reckoning ON this basis, we should
have anywhere from fifteen hun.
dred to two thousand such mar
riages since 1880. If these figures
represent the real state Of affairs, II
means that polygamy is almost as
prevalent now as it was before 1890.
The only essential difference in the
situation is that it is more secret.
1t must be remembered that, even
In the palmiest days of Mormonism,
only a comparatively small number o
Mormons were polygamists. Plural
marriage, under the Mormon sys-
TEN, was intended only for the elect
for those who had advanced to a
certain stage Of grace. II there
have been from fifteen hundred to
two thousand new polygamous mar
rages since 1890, there seems NO i'm
mediate likelihood that the practice
will die out.
Indeed, if polygamy should sud.
denly stop and there should not
be another plural marriage, enough

this disease says: Remember, the

ty-fcur deaths from pneumonia In
Kansas City. This is too high.

the hospital and health board Of Kan.

claimed that in December there was
an increased mortality from pneumo.
MIA of more than so per cent over
the month OF November. The board
says that a large per cent OF these
deaths could have been avoided Il
preventive measures had been oh.
served. This mans the daily yentil-
alton of the home and the wearing
Of sufficient clothing to protect the
body from sudden chilling. This
question is asked and commented up.
on by the board: Are you living
in a house that is sealed against the
invasion of cold air? If you are,
gu are living in the dirtiest kind
Of a home. Dirty air is vastly more
unsanNary and detrimental to health
than any other kind of fifth. Take

all of our readers: "Of course, there
