 Another part of the campaign will be concerned with the placing of subtly worded advertisements in newspap pers and magazines which are calculated to bring the Mormon emis- saries into direct touch with large numbers of girls. It is also hoped to be able to secure the insertion of cunningly phrased articles in certain papers.

No Need to Increase Rate

garding the increase in the telegraph
rates which went into effect to-day by
order of the Postmaster General Burle-
son said that If Postmaster General
Burleson would return his lines to the

once that that company would restore
the old telegraph rates at once. Mr..
Mackey's interview was as follows:
THE total telegraph business of the
Country is approximately $4,000, 900.
This 20 per cent. increase ordered by
Mr. Burleson means an increase of

Kings Presidents and Preers Cease Be Novelty at the
Paris Peace Conference

Paris, Mar. 26.-Kings, presidents
and premiers have ceased to be a
novelty at the Peace Conference,
but the bodyguard of Premie,
Venizelos of Greece, never fails to
attract great crowds. At the hotel
where the American delegation is
housed and at the foreign office,
Fenizelos approach is always her
aided by the arrival of one of his
Cretan soldiers arrayed more bril-
liantly than a comic opera bandit.
The Cretans who escort the
Greek statesman are all more than
six feet tall and apparently have
been chosen from various organlza-
tions as a different man appears
daily, and the same uniform is
never seen twice. The swarthy
Cretans all have small waxed mus
taches twisted into upturned points
and stand rigidly at attention for
hours while awaiting NJ. Venizelos at
the entrance to the hotel or the

boys and the jokes of various al

lmperturbable Cretans.

Daily Health Talks
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done For Humanity!

1t has always seemed to me that
DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, should
be placed near the top when n list of
Americas great benefactors is writ
ten. He studied and conquered hu-
man diseases to a degree that few
realize. Whenever he found a
remedy that overcame disease. he at
once announced 1t in the newspapers
and told where it could be bought
at small price. He did not follow
the usual custom of keeping the in
gradients secret, so that the rich
only could afford to buy the medi-
cine, but openly printed the name of
each root and herb he used. And
so to-day the names of DIR. Pierce
and his medicines are widely
known, and they stand for better
health and better citizenship.
One of this great physicians most
successful remedies is known as
Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
These are little, sugar-coated pills,
composed of Mayapple, leaves of
aloe, root of jalap-things that Ma
ture grows in the ground. These
Pellets are safe because they move
the bowels gently, leaving no bad
after-effects, as so many pills do.
Very often they make a person who
takes them feel like a new man Sr
woman, for they cleanse the intes-
tines of hard, decayed and poison
Gus matter that accumulates when
one is costive. If you are consti-
pated, by all means go to your drug
gist and get some of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They may prove
to be the very thing your system
requires to make you we'll and
happy.

gaudier in colcr. Others wear mar
