Attorney General Gives Ruling Limit
ing Authority Of 0oards 70 Health.
Pierre.-The attorney general holds
that the state board Of health has not
power to set aside q specific statuts
by an order, regardless of the exteu.
sive powers given them in the regula-
ton Of health in the state. The law
provides a fee Of so cents a week for
superintendent Of county boards in
making reports to the state board, and
the state board at a recent meeting
increased this to IS q month. This is
held to be without warrant, and in
violation of a specific statute, and such
claims not valid.
1t is held that where the statute
fixes a specific day for a school cleo
ton and the election is held at the
usual place of holding such elections.
the failure Of the clerk of the board
to post q notice of election not less
than ten days prior to the date OF the
annual election, does not in any way
invalidate the election. as the voter is
presumed to know the law fixing the
date. and the posting of the notice is
not a vital feature.
1t is held that names of candidates
for school positions in independent
school districts cannot be written in
on the ballot. That the only legal
form OF nomination in such districts
is by petition filed with the clerk of
the board. No other nominations are
provided by law. and the ruling is that
where a name is written on the ballot,
the same is void.

MORMONS PLAN T)
CONVERT WAR WIDOWS
1000 Missionaries to Go to
Europe.

p. 1adelphia. April 4-One thousand
selected missionaries, mostly young
men and women, are awaiting the call
of the Mormon church to go to Europe
as soon as possible Tor the purpose OF
converting war widows to the faith
and bringing them to the United
States for polygamous purposes, &C
cording to information which ex-Sen-
ator Frank J. Cannon got in Salt Lake
City, the center OF the propaganda.
Information cleaned from press des-
patches and other sources indicate
that this report was true. declared
Mr.. Cannon, previous to addressing a
meeting in the Baptist Temple called
In the name of practically every evan
gelical minister in the city to ask the
government to pass an amendment to
the constitution forbiddins polygamy
and also protesting against and polyg-
amous propaganda which emanates
fro mthe United States.
These young men and women, said
the ex-senator, are we'll educated and
of fine appearances. Among the Nor
mons, he declared, it was considered
not good form for any young man to
fail of performing some such mission
for the church. He said 1t was a social
usage as binding as other social ua-
ages are in communities.
"This report Of Mormon activity in
Europe" said Mr.. Cannon, lis In ac'
cord with the advertised inclination
and discussion of some of the govern
ments Of Europe to replenish the male
population broken by the war. 1t is
in accord with what know Of the &C.
tivity and propaganda of the Mormon
church.
when the war began there was q
rush of Mormon missionaries from
continental Europe. Some of them
remained in England and some OF
them came back to the United States
This was followed by activity of Nor
mon missionaries here in the east, due
presumably to the return Of those who

CONT NEGLECT KIDNEYS.

It is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more
attention as they control the other

The kidneys should receive some

forcing the kidneys to do more work

ACCUSE REVENUE MEN
OF TOBACCO FRAUD

Washington, April 5.-Treasury OH.
Gals said that Carl E Whitney, a New
York lawyer, had filed charges that
number Of deputy internal revenue
collectors in that city are involved in
the recently discoveIea tobacco
frauds.
More than 100 deputy collectors are
in New York, but only part OF the
number are suspected of participation
in frauds involving hundreds OF cigar
and cigarette manufacturers III which
the government is believed to have
lost $40, 600, 900 in uncollected internal
revenue.
Mr.. Whitney, who made his charges
to Assistant Secretary Malburn, de-

involved. He is counsel for solne Oh
the cigar manufacturers and officials
understand that he will use his infor
nation about the deputies if his clients
come to trial.
According to treasury officials, Mr..
Whitney charged that collectors have
not only been receiving rennittances
weekly from manufacturers, but that
in some cases they have approached
manufacturers who were not evadins
the law, and pointed out the ease with
which they could escape payment Of
revenue duties and offered to cooper
ate with them to this end for small
considerations weekly.

One cause, according to despatch

which penetrated the French lines IN

claim to recapture OF any part OF the

them heavily in casualties. In the

Even from the adjoining Argonne re

The big guns OF the Germans have
now brought three of the forts north
west of Verdun under their fire. They
are Fort Marie, Fort Bourrus and
Fort Choisel. However intense the
Germans bombardment becomes, they
cannot launch infantry attacks against
these works because Of the French

The Germans are striving harder

drive is said to be the result Of or
