"A Mormon Maid. y

There is hardly single thinkable subject that es-
capes the keen competition among the many moving pic
ture film producing companies in their efforts to supply
the ever increasing demand. Many moving pictures
would be best exhibited in the dark and to audiences of
deaf and dumb brutes Many good to be sure even
after passing the board of censors But in cases
the board of censorship either ignorant prejudice
and many pictures get by that should go in the waste
basket 'The Birth of Nation, took like wild fire. 1t
was not really bad picture yet oyerdrawn considerably
just the book Uncle Toms Cabin from which ideas
must have been borrowed in the building of the plot for
'The Birth of Nation" That same company which
produced ''The Birth Of Nation has put out another
and so,caled great picture, "A Mormon Maid" In sec
tons where either prejudice ignorance prevails against
the Mormon church "A Mormon Maid" is pronounced one
of the greatest pictures Of the day From the advance
advertising matter sent out describing this picture get
it that the picture deals wholly Of the ideas of anMor
monism, without showing scintia of TRUTH as the
following extracts from the advertisements will show:
VeiIed MYSTERIES of MOrmonsm m Exposed Can Man

CHICKEN FAT VALUABLE.

Do you throw away the body fat Of
poutry-big layers of clean, sweet, yell
low fat around the gizzard and found
elsewhere around the intestines of the
chicken? Ifyou do, say specialists of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, you are throwing away fat which
French housewives consider the finest
of fats for making cakes and especially
puff paste. In certain seasons in New
York and other big cities this fat is so
highly esteemed that it brings as much
as 81 10 per pound. So great is the de-
mand for this fat that many people make
a business of collecting it from butchers
and others who dress poultry before de-
livering it to customers. Housewives
would do well to insist on having it de.
livered if they buy their poultry dress
ed. BY using chicken fat in cooking
they can cut down the amount of fat
they must buy for that purpose To
prepare it, try it Got in double boiler
or other vessel set in hot water until the
fat Just melts away from the tissues and
can be poured off, This fat becomes
rancid easily and should be kept cool
and covered like butter and used in a
very few days. Chicken fat, like goose
fat, may be used for shortening in cak es,
such as spice cake, where the seasoning
used will mask any favor which the fat
might have. 1t can also be used for fry
ing the chicken itself or other meats and
for warming vegetables, etc.

WHAT A GOVERN M ENT BON d Is.

The Government of the United States
has two methods ofraising money. One
is by taxation. The other is by the sale
Of bonds which is method Of borrow.
ing money.
The Government bond is the printed
promise of the Government to pay back
the borrowed sum of money at a certain
time, and to pay interest on it at regular
intervals until it is repaid,
The Government borrows money in
this way only after it has been given the
right to do so by act of Congress approx
ed by the President, and the terms OF
the loan are set out in the act.
Back Of the promise of the Govern
ment stands the honor of the Govern
ment and all its taxing resources Real.
ly the whole wealth of the Nation stands
behind this solemn promise Of the Gov
ernment to pay.
This makes United States Govern
ment bond the safest investment in the
world If the bond of the United States
Government is not safe, no property in
the United States is safe. If the United
States can not pay its bonds, it is hardly
probable that it will be able to protect
the citizens in their other rights.
The Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 are
especially attractive investments. Not
only have they this absolute safety
characteristic of all United States bonds
but they are tax free not only from all
existing taxes but from any war tax that
may subsequently be levied. No state,
city, nor county may tax them. The
inheritance tax Of the United States and
Of some States may affect them, or rath-
er, affect their transfer after death oftbe
owner by will or by inheritance.
Another advantage these Liberty
Loan Bonds possess is that if the Gov
ernment issues bonds later on during
this war at a higher rate of interest the
holders of Liberty Loan Bonds will be
allowed to exchange at par their bonds
for bonds bearing the highest rate of
interest

LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE.

Americas purpose in the war--a last
ing world-peace-how to get it and how
to keep it, will be the theme Of essays
and orations in thousands of schools and
colleges this June The subject under
three different titles has a prominent
place in the list OF topics for discussion
at Commencement exercises recently
issued by Franklin X. Lane, Secretary
of the Interior.
Mr.. w. f. Hanley, Custer County
Chairman, South Dakota branch of the
League to Enforce Peace, said today that
the national headquarters of the League,
at 20 Fifth Avenue, New York, had pre-
pared material which will be mailed up
on request to students wishing to write
upon any of the following subjects in
Secretary Lanes list:
League to Enforce Peace
Preparation for Peace at Close of the
War"
international League of Peace"
The members of the League, be de-
clared, are striving, with the approval of
the Administration, to emphasize the
high purpose of the war as defined by
President Wilson, in the belief that this
is the best way to stir up martial spirit
which must be the basis of all effective
preparation. The League, it is unneces-
sary to point out, is not pacifst body.
1t advocates war, until the world, in the
words of President Wilson, is made
safe for democracy" Former Pres-
dent William II. Taft is its head.

CRUSADER MANAGER Is
VISITING RAPID CITY,

r. +. Gerard, business manager of
The Black Hills Crusader" the maga-
zine published by the patients of the
State Sanatorium at Custer, was here
several days this week in the interests of
that publication.
Mr.. Gerard, who has been a patient at
the institution for the past three years,
but will soon be discharged as fully
cured, is very enthusiastic over the work
which is being done there, and says that
with the new buildings which are to be
erected this summer its scope of useful
ness will be much enlarged. At the
present time there is always q waiting
list of a hundred or more people who
have made application for admission,
but cannot be cared for on account of
the limited accommodations
Mr.. Gerard speaks very highly of the
great work which is being done by DR..
Woodwork, the head of the Sanatorium,
saying that he possesses the respect and
confidence of every one in the institu-
ton, and that it is source of great help
to the patients to know that they have
as experienced and capable man help
ing them in their fight for health.
The Black Hills Crusader was estab-
lished by the patients at the Sanatorium
early last fall, and since that time they
have been working hard to make sue
cess out of the paper. Its primary pur-
pose is to educate the public in matters
relating to tuberculosis and its treat
ment, and more particularly to prevent
ative measures. The work in which it
is engaged is a very laudable one, and it
deserves the aid of every person in the
state not only on account of the fact
that il is published by the patients at
one of the state institutions, but prin-
cipally because of the fact that the men.
ace of tuberculosis is an ever increasing
one, and the Crusader is doing its share
of the great work which is necessary in
order to awake the public to the import.
ance of the problem, and the best ways
and means whereby it can be combatted.
