not to be despised. Nor has it failed to

for example, is run by electricity, and

Aging Wine.

A method of "aging" raw wine by
electricity has been perfected by Prof.
Charles Henry of the Sorbonne, Paris,
France, and is being successfully used
in the Burgundy wine districts.
The process is said to impart to
liquors the same properties which they
acquire by being kept for number of
years in cellars. The spirit or wine
is placed In a special receptacle fitted
with two tubes which are charged with
nigh tension electricity at from 10000
TO 10000 volts. The result is that all
the bacteria, ferments and impurities
collect in the tubes and are removed
and all further fermentation is
stopped. The process is very rapid,
and the cost is less than two cents per
hundred gallons. Similar experiments
are now being made with beer and

Vance Waldren gave up good po-
sition in New York city and hurried
to Chicago, after receiving a letter
from a friend of his only living rela.
tive, Peter Bond, to the effect that
the old man was slowly fading away
and longed for and needed friendly
attention.

true manhood in Vance. When he had
first started out in life Mr.. Bond had
some means and generously provided
for him while he got well on his feet
Now that conditions seemed to have
changed, Vance felt a sense of duty
that impelled him to hasten to the sue
cor of his aged relative.
He was distressed when he arrived
at the home of his uncle. He found
him living alone on the main floor of
a great rambling structure located on
an alley. 1t was fronted where q
street once had been, now occupied
by the elevated tracks of steam road
and backed up to the high rear back
of a great factory, isolated and shut
in from all traffic and with only mar
row pathway leading from the public
street.
The old man was well-nigh helpless
and he welcomed his nephew with 6
wan, but glad smile.
"You seem pretty well shut in here

1.-THE in kind from all communicates.
But the Mormon church receives q
tenth of all the annual profits of it's
membership; it sells the wares, when
paid in kind it attends to its churches
and it sends out missionaries the world
over, and yet never has one heard a
breath of scandal over distribution of
the stupendous funds come to it's trus-
tees hands.
Your guide explains the division Of
the Church of Mormon here, while you
fix the picture in your memory. You
note the strange spottings caused by
age upon the ceiling above; you note
the strange chandeliers more closely.
By and by you take the steps to
the balcony, occupying one of the In
Vulnerable seats that range back from
the rail. You look straight across to
the organ front, TO realize distances
here. then recall how the gallery is
built back some two feet and half
from the wall in order TO better the
acoustics. Off in the distance, 200
feet or more from where you sit, a
ianitor. busy cleaning, drops a pin on
the rail and you hear it quite distinct
ly. He rubs his hands and you catch
the sound as though you stood close
by. All this, remember, is not result
of chance, but careful planning by the
MormonS.
In Utah today church and state are
distinct and separate and all offices of
government are open to Mormon and
nom Mormon. AS result, the state lev
les its tax on the Mormon, and this he
has TO meet, along with his church tax.
Despite this double taxation Utah folk
bear up we'll and flourish. Salt Lake

FEATURE OF LARGE CITIES
Apartment Houses With Flats That
Can Be Converted to Several
Uses Built.

Many builders of apartment houses
in large cities are now erecting struc-
lures composed exclusively of convert
ible apartments, according to Popular
Mechanics magazine. By a convertible
apartment is meant one in which sim
gle room can be adapted to two or three
uses by shifting the furniture or re-
volving a pivoted wall. One corpora
ton erects buildings of this character
composed entirely Of one of three types
of flats; tn ose having one room only,
which can be altered to serve as din
ing room, living room and bedroom
twO-rOom apartments, in which the fur
niture can be changed to make two
bedrooms, living room, dining room
and q sun parl0r, ana three-room
suites which can serve as seven rooms,
counting day and night uses. Each
apartment has a kitchenette and a
bathroom which are not convertible.
The main room in each group is, on the
average, II or 13 feet square, with
practically the whole of one wall dt-
vided into two revolving sections; to
one side of this wall is fastened
bookcase and sidebOard; to the other
is fastened q dresser and folding bed.
These articles are screwed to the wall
just high enough to pass over the rugs
as the partition revolveS. The closet
into which the unused furniture disap-
pears is roomy and has outside win
dows or is ventilated mechanically.

SUALLY it's the young school
ma'am who pre-empts the seat
next the driver of the sight
seeing auto, who asks the
question:: us polygamy really ex-
unct among these Mormons?" The
others behind strain their ears, for
they've been dying to make the same
query. You see, in Salt Lake City you
never can tell. Our own guide about
the city, for example, was an intelli-
gent young Mormon who was born un-
der the system, writes Felix J. Koch
in the Utica Globe.
In reply they tell you volubly and
vaguely that the United States courts
have declared polygamy to be illegal,
and the Mormon church itself some
short time after promulgated an edict
fOrbidding it's practice.
Visitors to Salt Lake City naturally
seek first of all the "hOly of hOlies'' OF
iMOrmonism, the Temple block. This,
if nothing else, makes one admit that
a people, born of polygamy, who can
accomplish such wonders as just this
structure here, are undoubtedly the
peers OF many homogeneous races. Out
on what was the desert at the time of
the MormOns' coming, in a desert
which tires the traveller even as he
glides across it now by railway, there
is a city that is as beautiful as any in
the land. And it's most beautiful
thing is this Temple block.
You enter by one of the large gates
built of wooden gratings and come
upon small brick structure housing
the bureau of information and head
quarters for guides. The steps lead up
between two lions into the little struc-

with twelve-foot Letters, telling OF the
vast merits of 'Soper's Soap There
is your contract and there is your first
months rent. Some business, ehr'
you grand felloww cried the de-
lighted Mr.. Bond and took a new
lease on life.
In fact, by the end of two months
old Uncle Peter was able to get around
quite easily. One day Vance was
walking across the vacant space be-
tween the old building and the plant
fronting on the next street, when
light object struck his head, knocked
off his hat and fell to the ground. He
picked up lady's handbag. Then he
looked up. Leaning slightly from the
open window OF the Office of the
plant was a beautiful young lady.
Its mine, if you please, and it fell
out" she called down with divine
smile.
"You shall soon have it." replied
Vance and two minutes later he was
around at the front of the plant and
up it's stairs. He found the owner of
the handbag alone in a rocmy office.
Il was waiting for papa" she ex-
planned, with a pretty blush, land /
accidentally knocked the bag from the
window. Papa is in tiresome consul
tation with his lawyer in the office
there" and she pointed to glass door.
"and I got impatient, and sat down
on the window sill, and out went the
handbag"
She thanked Vance prettily. He lin
gered. Her bright ways attracted
him. He stepped aside as man. the
father of Lorna Bell, ushered his le-
gal visitor from his private office,
"Now get to work on this matter at
once, Downey," he spoke. "Old Pc
ter Bond is hard fellow to deal with,
for he's a sticker, as shown by his
holding out against the railroad COM
pany. Offer him twenty thousand dol
lars, but, if it has to be thirty thou
sand dollars, suppose I'll have to
stand it. You see, can get the ground
lease extended, and if l can buy she
old rattletrap behind here, I'll tear it
down and build an addition to the
plant"
Excuse me, SIR" spoke Vance, step
ping forward with an apologize ges-
ture, ''but l have accidentally over
heard what interests me. l am the
nephew of Mr.. Peter Bond, and, as
we are about closing a contract for
sign space, it might complicate pur-
chase of the building-at thirty thou
sand dollars"
Him." observed Mr.. Jasper Bell, but
with an appreciative twinkle in his
shrewd, but kindly eye. "You have
listened to your advantage, indeed!'
''It seems ten thousand dollars
worth ~ put in the lawyer. Il fancy,
Bell, we'd better close without delay"
"Oh, papa. and all through my
dropping my handbag" cried Lorna
Bell in mock dismay; and then she
explained, and irrepressibly they be-
came a harmonious quartette and the
business was quickly dispatched.
And then-love. What other out
come could eventuate with a hand
some and intelligent young man and
charming impressionable young girl?'
'I'ye won you a comfortable for
tune" announced Vance to his uncle
later in the day, and a great joy came
over the old man at the prospect OF
declining years of comfort and plenty.
81 shall bring my promised wife to
see the new home we are building"
observed Vance six months later, and
old Peter Bond felt. that the joys of
living were, indeed, complete.

We must study the market demands
and select good sires of the types that
will enable US to meet them. If we
find that the butcher or packer likes
an animal of extreme beef type be-
cause that animal yields a high per-
centage of the high-priced cuts, the
sires must be selected accordingly. If
we ind that the horse buyer takes the
big, drafty, sound horse in preference
to the chunk when his order calls for
horses for heavy work, we must secure
sires that will get colts of that type.
If we ship or sell to a market which
demands bacon hogs, then the boar
should be the best obtainable indi-
vidual of bacon breed which is in
good demand in that market.
In any case, we must strive to pro-
duce only the best animals and to be
sure that they are uniformly good and
that there are among them no mis-
fits or inferior specimens which do not
meet the consumers needs.
