INTERPRETATION
OF STATUTE ON
CHILDREN OF
PLURAL WIVES

Ogden, Utah, July 14.-That chill
dren born of plural wives cannot be
legally recognized as heirs unless they
have been acknowledged by the father
as his children, is the construction
placed by Judge James A. Howell, on
the Utah statutes affecting polygamy.
The opinion was brought out in his in
structions to the jury considering the
case of Albert Geddes, or Eccles
against the David Eccles estate. by
which the 16-year-old son of Mrs.
Margaret Geddes is endeavoring to es-
tablish heirship to the Eccles estate
in the ground that David Eccles was
his father by a pulraJ marriage in 1898
and that he acknowledged him as his
son.
Judge Howell is Mormon, as also
are the plaintiff and defendants in
the suit The judge instructed the
jury to consider only evidence regard
ing the alleged plural marriage as af-
fecting the possibility Of the &C
acknowledgement having been made.
This is the first construction Of the
statute Of children Of plural marriages
since Utah became a state. The court
holds that the acknowledgment need
not be public, but is binding even if
made in secret and confidentially.

How To Gain Weight
A Pound a Day

Thin men and women who would like
to increase their weight with 10 or Is
pounds of healthy stay there" fat
should try eating little Sargol with
their meals 'for while and note results.
Here is good test worth trying. First
weigh yourself and measure yourself.
Then take Sargol-one tablet with every
meal-for two weeks. Then weigh and
measure again. 1t isn't a question of
how you look or feel or what your
friends say and think The scales and
the tape measure will tell their own
story, and most any thin man or woman
can easily add from five to eight pounds
in the first fourteen days by following
this simple direction. And best of all,
the new flesh stays put.
SargOl does not of itself make fat, but
mixing with your food, it turns the fats,
sugars and starches of what you have
eaten, into rich, ripe fat producing nour-
ishment for the tissues and blood-pre-
pares it in an easily assimilated form
which the blood can readily accept. All
this nourishment now passes from your
body as waste. But Sargol stops the
waste and does it quickly and makes
same meals you are eating now develop
pounds and pounds of healthy flesh be-
tween your skin and bones. Sargol is
safe, pleasant, efficient and inexpensive.

Law COURT ..DEC|-
SION OF GREAT IMPOR-
lance TO PHYSICIANS

Portland, Me-, July 14.-In a rescript in
a Kennebec county case written by As
sociate Justice Philbrook and handed
down by the law court Tuesday, the
court ruled that a physician can only
use his best skill and judgment. but that
the patient must follow the reasonable
instructions of his physician and submit
to his treatment. If he falls to do so
and his negligence directly contributes to
the injury he can not recover damages.
In the case in question the court held
that the jury did not take into consid-
Grafton the Testimony which related to
the conduct Of the plaintiff and its ef-
feet in producing the unfortunate re-
suits from which he now suffers"
Tho rescript is regarded as Of great
Importance to members Of the medical
profession. It follows:

Rescript. Philbrook, ].
This is an action against . surgeon to
recover damages resulting from alleged
negligence on his part m the reduction

verdict was in favor Of the plaintiff and
the defendant asks that the verdict be
set aside and new trial granted.
Held:

responsibility has been stated many
times by this court. He contracts with

EFFECTIVE RESISTANCE and
|NDUCTANCE OF IRON
and BIMETALLIC WIRE

Washington, July 14.-When a di-
rect current flows in a wire, the dis
tribution of the current is uniform
over the cross-section of the conduc-
tor. When, however an alternating
current flows in a wire there is
tendency for the current to crowd to
the outside. This phenomenon which
is caused by differences in the oppo-
sition to the current flow in different
parts Of the conductor, becomes more
pronounced the greater the number of
alterations of the current in a given
time and. in iron wires. the greater
the current in the wire. In some cases
the flow Of current is confined almost
entirely to a thin shell on the out
side of the wire and hence arises the
term Skin effect" for this phenome-
non. The effective resistance of the
conductor increases as the frequency
Of the alterations increases and at
the same time the inductance, which
depends upon the magnetic field, is
diminished. This effect is not only
OF interest from a purely scientific
standpoint. but is frequently of i'm
portance in engineering practice.
When the conductor is of simple
form and the magnetic permeability
OF the material Is known, the effec-
tive resistance and inductance can be
calculated by formulas which have
been developed. The investigation,
the results of which have just been
published by the Bureau Of Stand
ards, Department of Commerce, in
Scientific Paper No. 1882 was con-
cerned with the skin effect in con-
ductors containing iron. Two classes
OF conductors were considered in par
ticular: the iron telegraph and tele-
phone wires and copper clad bimetal-
lie wires. The latter have a core Of
steel surrounded by shell Of cop
per. The effective resistances and in
ductances of these conductors were
determined experimentally for differ
ent strengths Of current and for fire.
quencies up to 5000 alterations per
second. The results for iron wires
obtained with very small currents
were compared with values computed
by known formulas and the agree
ment is fairly satisfactory. Formulas
are developed in this paper which per-
NIT a similar comparison between
measured and computed values for
the copper clad wires. The paper
concludes with wire tables computed
by means Of the new formulas. In
these tables the effective resistances
and inductances Of copper clad wires
are given for wires Of different sizes
and conductivitiee and for frequen-
cies up to 5000 Alterations per Sec
