On Friday afternoon, the Woman's MissionarySociety of Centenary Church met in its social and literary meeting at the residence of Mrs. Whit Gaskins Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, a sufficient number of members were present to insure successful meeting. With the afternoon's topic, "Missions Among the Mormons," the society concluded its study of Bruce Kinney's book, "Mormortsm, the Islam of Ameri ca." This last chapter was one of much interest and Importance. Mrs. Ilcndren emphasized various points of value and the discussions following were full of interesting facts. Investigation shows that of the 400 communities in Utah, reached by the postal .service only 90 have any organ ized Christian work. One coi nty cbn taining a population of more than 6,000 an unusual proportion of which is non-Mormons has no Christian min 1 Uter or missionary. In proportion to its population, Utah probably has mor atheists than any other State in the Union, because of the fact that many persons accept Mormonism expecting to find in it the greatest of all religious good and on discovering its mockery they, in despair, deny the existence of sny true religion or even a God Bruce Kinney claims that the "glolc trotter" is s great hindrance to the evangelical work. "He comes to Salt Lake City with a twenty-four hour strp-over ticket, goes throi'gh the Bureau of (mis) Information sustained by the Mormons on the temple grounds and presto! he knows more about the Mormons than s missionary who ha been there thirty years.

Nux LOOKS LIKE SUICIDE EPIDEMIC Mrs. John Agent Takes Dose Bichloride Of Mer cury. Of Becoming despondent with life on account of domestic troubles Mrs. F. W. Lloyd, who resides at the home of her father Jesse L. Ha 1, . No. 22 Queen street, attempted to commit suicide late Friday night by drinking large quantity of nux vomica. As soon as members of the family discovered that she had made an attempt on her life a physician was hurriedly summoned and he succeeded in saving her life, but she is still in a precarious condition. Mrs. Lloyd s husband is a lumber broker and has made this city his home for several months. The couple have only been married for about three months. Recent events lead one to believe that a "suicide epidemic" has struck the city. Just a week ago Friday night Adolph Roberts, proprietor of the Commerical Printing and Rubber Stamp Works, fired a bullet into his brain at his home on South rront street and a few days after Mrs. John Agent, who lives on Pasteur street, near the union passenger station attempted to end her life by taking bichloride of mer cury. Her rash act was discovered in time to save her life. BASEBALL GAME WAS INTERESTING LOCAL "FANS" WITNESSED AN EXCITING CONFLICT YES TERDAY AFTERNOON. In an eight-inning game of baseball Ghent Park yesterday afternoon at between a team composed of married men and one composed of single men, local "fans" witnessed one of the pret tiest games ever seen on a local dia mond. Although the score was 3 to 3" when the game was called on account of darkness, those who witnessed the conflict were of the opinion that the married men played a somewhat bet ter game than their mates who have not as yet joined the Benedict Order, but, both teams played well and that their work was exciting was evidenced by the almost contant cheers of the enthusiastic .rooters. The batteries for the married men were hllison and Lowell while (. Mitchell and C. Harker did the pitch ing and receiving for the single men. Both batteries were in excccllcnt form and did excellent work. The features of the game was the fielding of N. Angcll and R. Smith for the married men and the work of Bland as short stop and the hitting of Stanley for the single men. v Mark DcWitt Stevenson was the official umpire, and that his decisions met with the approval of all was evi denced by the fact that no pop bottles, antiquated vegetables or other missiles were thrown in his direction during the conflict. Another game will be played by these two teams at an early date. its expense. They think it is "not to bad alter all." On their return to the East they call the missionaries cranks and say that their presence in Utah is an insult to such fine Christians as the Mormons." There are about 200 evangelical workers in Utah while the Mormon church has a force of 1,800 missionaries working in every part of the United States. Notwithstanding this fact the Mormon missionaries arc not making the converts they once did. It Is ex pected that much good in demanding higher moral and social standards will come from the establishment of the pub ic school system and the ever increasing number of eduratcd Mormon young men "and women.

In picking vegetables and fruits the first Idea Is to employ a means of pre serving these foods for a considerable length of time, generally until the winter, when there is a scarcity or ut ter lack of fresh fruits and green vege tables. For this purpose salt or add liquor la used. In vinegar pickles the addition of spices and sugar aid in pre serving and Increasing the palatable ness of pickles. The sweeping con demnation against all pickles and con diments Is ill advised and misguiding to those who depend on authoritative and official information in the line of dietetics, says Llda Ames Willis. There is a large class of persons who should avoid pickles or the use of acids of any kind. Nntnre or the nbnormal condition of the system will soon dem onstrate the danger of indulgence by the discomfort caused by too much acidity in the stomach. Do not eat pickles unless you crave them, unci If after eating them, as an accessory, not In a large quantity, you feel no ill ef fect, but on the other hand, assimilate your food properly, you may consider pickles ore wholesome In your Indi vidual case at least (Note. In all vegetable pickles, cat sups and sauces the uddltion of fresh grated horseradish will add greatly to the "goodness" and preserve the vine gar, preventing any mold.) Dressing For the Pickles. One gallon cider vinegar, a dozen tablespoonfuls mustard or a jug of French mustard, two eupfuls of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of turmeric powder, one large cupful of flour wet with little cold vinegar: put into the boiling vine gar, boll five minutes and then pour over the thoroughly drained pickles. These are the finest mixed pickles you ever made. If you like string beans Ip pickles put In two quarts, steamed Jrnd cut in inch pieces. The turmeric pow der gives the rich yellow color. Aunt Jane Harmon's Pickles. One gallon of cucumbers cut small; one gallon green tomatoes, quartered; half a gallon of onions, steamed; two heads of cauliflower, steamed; half. dozen green peppers; scald.

The bread on which this filling Is spread should be only lightly buttered. A sandwich filling with a flavor which puzzles Is made by mixing half a cupful of grated maple sugar with a quarter of a cupful of chopped roasted peanuts and a tablespoonful of sweet cream. This filling la delicious on either brown or white bread. Rlsh sandwiches are appetizing. Fish paste is now sold ready for use either In glass jars or tubes.

They may also say they have been to the curate's, and when he asks: "What were you doing there?" Is answered: "Getting married," or anything relating to bis ministerial du ties, and he must make a proper reply. Magic Music.

This law is also directed t the officers of the county and is ol general interest to enforcers of the law. "To the Sheriffs, Deputy Sheriffs, Policemen, Marshals, Watchmen anc.

FOR ROAD PRESERVATION. Craven County Farmer Makes Timely Suggestion. The following communication with a r, quest for publication has been re ceived by the Journal from Daniel Lane, cf Bellalr: Driving In Old Huts. This caption is applicable to many things along life's journey, but just now te wish to call the attention of the raveling public to the fact that driv ing in old ruts ruins our roads worse han any other, and perhaps all other habits combined. After such rains as fell on two days of the past week there is water in every small depression where the wheels run, nad to drive in these old ruts is to cut up the road to an extent that after a few contracted days, the roads are so cut up where just a little water stood, that by carlesss driving the ropd soon becomes almost impassable; if instead of running in the old ruts, each driver kept out ve would soon have three tracks instead of one and it would take three times as much water to make the road bad. We would suggest some county ruling in this matter that would insist or even compel the traveling public to keep out of the old ruts and save the mud fax that comes from following other people's mistakes or carelessness would suggest a small fine, say cents a mile for every person allowing his horse or horses to run in the ole ruts after a rain while water or mm is on the roads. We need good roads as a means of grace as well as a convenience, and the people can help in this matter by drivinc on solid ground as lone as there is any to drive on. D. LAKE.
