Proper Care of the Eye.

According to DR. Woods Hutchin-
son, the common cause of LONELINESS
or unattractiveness in the eye is red
ness, either Of the eyeballs themselves
or of the lids. This is what biolo-
gists call an acquired, not an inherit
ed, condition. and is caused either by
the presence of disease and filth germs
or by eye strain. The trouble can be
prevented by absolute cleanliness and
by fitting the eyes with proper glasses.

He says of himself that when IA
years of age he conceived the i'm

nothing but "clash of religious
sentiment" He then went to Sc

him of the forgiveness of his sins,

Israel was then to be fulfilled.
Furthermore, that he, Smith, was

times has been followed by the
worthy example of the Governors

such is the democracy and com

rejoice in the things that pertain
to our whole land. And So

the key to the inscription on til,
tablets"
Smith, as yet, had scarcely any
education, but happened to fall
in with Sidney Rigdon, a "sad,
dlebag" preacher, ready for any
KIND of sensation, and he had a
good education. SO, being some
what interested, he was a great
help to Smith. 1t seems that Rig
don had seen a romance writ
ten by one, Spallding, and it has
been charged that the Mormon
bible was bodily taken from that
publication.
1t seems that people were
easily found who were ready for
anything out of the ordinary and
hence it was not long until the
new revelation had received
quite a considerable start and
had drawn fire from all the
protestant churches. OF course
this denomination advertised
Mormonism and was in reality
only a help to such a scheme.
Brigham Young having Joined
the new enthusiasts and being
almost instantly recognized as
person of great force, was forth

Valley of Salt Lake about two
years prior to the action of Con
gress, making a territory which
is now known as the State of
Utah.

Salt Lake City in the sixties and
even seventies, knew that the
hands of the Mormon rulers were
