DENOUNCING- monopolies and adulterators of. food, and wearing wear-ing apparol, Dr. Harvey "W. Wiley, former chief of tho United Stales bureau of chemistry, delighted a largo audience in the !Krrt Mothodist church last night. His lecture lec-ture was liberally sprinkled with humor, tho speaker becoming downright, down-right, serious only occasionally- But his sorio-comie rcmnrks wcro invariably invaria-bly peppory when he referred to predatory pred-atory wealth aud tho idlo rich. His theorem was that the greatost of all woalth was health and he eontonded that tho concentration of mouey tond-cd tond-cd to disease and short life among tlo people. Ho intoifpcrsed his address with, anecdotes and witticisms. Health Comes First. The famous pure-food expert said: 1 will besln by a skins1 you, what do you consider tho srcatcRt wealth? They may foreclose the mortxitKO on your farm and you may (ovcntually ?ct another; your factory may bo burned down and you may build another; an-other; as a merchant you may bo-come bo-come bankrupt, start over and recoup: re-coup: you may fall as a physician in ono city, so to anothar and succeed; your congregation masnot 1e pleased with you as a preacher and yon might go elsewhere, preach and bo acceptable; your wjfo may dte and you can get another. 3 am reminded remind-ed of the husband whoso wlfa died nnd he wan tarrTbIy grieved. Hn erected a hcadatono at her frravo and had these words Inscribed, "Th Iilsht of 3Iy L.iro Hob Gono Out." But In n. year h was marrlad again and, under those tender words of affection af-fection and rcrnembranco a vllJago waj? added, "But ho has struck another an-other match." So tho light of your life miht 50 out, but you o-'i-n strike another match- But the answer to this question ques-tion la health and life. When you havo lost your Ufe, not mtrdy tho light of H, you can't get It back. My Idea, of conservation of wealth in not In tho hoarding of It, but In tho wiao uso ot wealth.

"GOOD COOKS STOP THE DIVORCE MILLS" (Continued from Page One.) mined: I don't want to ?o through Jlfo with cold fop.l and have niv Hon come after and keep hla wnrm "CaUs on" Magnates. Dr. AA'Uey here, meaning Carncsic .Alorsan and Rockefeller, said he would call on Andrew C, J. P. :nd J. D. He would speak to tlicin before his audience au-dience and remind thorn that thev were near the crave. Ho would nslf I hem what would they give to kcop oui: whv, they would glvo every one of their billions bil-lions or dollars "collected, not earned." He continued: Thero la no kind of wealth so wasted and to which wc pay so little attention as health. The farmer will keep check on his products and pou-ficsslons; pou-ficsslons; tho physician will count his fees, the merchant his prolUs. and even the preacher will eounl his salary sal-ary to soo how much the congregation congrega-tion still owes him; but little account of health is kept until it Is fleeting or gone. Hetty Green counted her wealth on holidays. On Washington Washing-ton a birthday sho ate onions for breakfast to keep the reporters away, but Jt takes more than onions lo keep reporters awuj Health School Standard. I know of but one school in ihc country where health figures In the marks of students. That Is the IWar-garet IWar-garet Morrison school In Pittsburg, foundod by Andrew Carncglo In honor of his mothnr. When a girl applies for admittance she must undergo a physical examination. If sho Is sound she Is given the mark of 100. If she loses health thereafter she is given demerits. If when sho enters sho receives 75 and Improves In health she Is Riven merits, s-o that a girl may enter at 7fi I do not mean 7.r years of age and leave at J00. (Laughter.) I would as soon pick a wife In that school as I would order a meal at the Waldorf-Astoria; there aro so many good things that 1 would wind up by eating bacon and ec;gs. Tho proper environment should be provided for those who have been bom. Two boys were born twins In Ohio. One went lo Michigan and made his home; tho olher went to Louisiana. When the civil war broke out one of these boys enlisted ln the union army and the other was a confederate soldier, so strong was the force of environment. When T wan In Gardner, Ma3s., I was Informed that a telegram had arrived for me at the telegraph office. of-fice. I Inquired why It was not sent to mo, and was told that telegrams were not delivered In that town, that one had to take them over the telephone. tele-phone. "How much will tho telephone cost me?" I lnqulrod. "Ton cents." Then it dawned upon mc that Mr. Vail was president of tho lolcgraph company and of tho telephone company. com-pany. I wonder how long It will bo before Uncle Sam takes over the telegraph and telephone service? (Applause.) (Ap-plause.) Millionaires Chairs. But when I arrive In ihe cilyl ask some promlnont citizen to tell mo Its chief Industry. Knowing the environment I can Judgo quite well of tho character of the people. In Gardner Gard-ner they manufacture chairs more than anything else. And that reminded re-minded mc of a poem by Mrs. Browning, Brown-ing, but I rewrote It. The advantage of my poems Is that they nro better than the other fellow's and I don't publish them, so nobody Is hurt. I changed Mrs. Browning's poem to this: We al! have known millionaires who sit in easy chairs Millionaires chairs you will no-tlco no-tlco that they rhyme We all have known millionaires who sit In easy chairs And damn tho general world for standing up. At Brockton, Mass., I found them manufacturing shoes. (Laughter,) T met one of tho manufacturers. Effect of the Lie. "Why do you adulterate your' sole leather with glucose?" I asked. Ho hesitated. He was preparing to He. You know what is said of a lie: A 11c is an abomination to tho Lord and a very pleasant help in tlmo of need. Did you ever notlco that you always hesitate when you aro going to llo? He said, "I put lt ln so the poor can buy shoes." "Wondcrrul phllantrophy! Glucoso coBts 2 cents a pound and sole leather 4a cents a pound. Every 100 pounds of sole leather can hold twenty-five- pounds of glucose. You can figure out the proUt not to the poor man who wears the shoes. He has to buy two pairs where one was1 sufficient before be-fore with his wages. Wages arc what you earn; salary Is what you get. Tn Washington I received tho most treasured compliment that was over given me. It came from a man who cams wagcB a. motorman on a street enr, when I was on my way to the office. There are four kinds who rluo down on street cars in Washington. First are tho workers. They always get there early. Then come the elerkers; then the shirkers they aro ahvayn late; Anally the sinlrkcrs they go to sec what tho others are doing. Ten thousand sit ln easy chairs whllo SO.000,000 stand up in this country. Thorc was a smokor on tho car. I have no objection to a man's smoking if he swallows the smoke, but I object to his spitting Into my faco. So 1 went out on the platform to get somo fresh air. Pepper for Example. "You have dono more good than any other person In the country for tho poor," said tho motorman. I Inquired In-quired for partlcuars. Ho oxplalncd that he had been purchasing packages pack-ages of pepper for 10 cents, but ho noticed that one of his neighbors paid 25 cents for a .package of pepper pep-per of tho samo Elzo. "I wondered at that, said ho. "until vou camo along and pointed out that tho kind of package I purchased pur-chased contained cocoanut shcll6 ground up and merely sprinkled with pepper. I found out that I had to spend 75 cents on my 10-cont packages pack-ages lo got tho Fume amount ot real popper that the other could purchusJc in hi3 25-cont packages." Ono of tho most nutritious of foods Is tho whole wheat flour and ono of the hardost things to get. I got It on my farm. I grind tho wheat In my coffee mill. The flour costs mc 15 cents to feod Uxh four of us for a day, but 1 didn't charge anything for my sorvlceB. My farmer, who lives downstairs, docs not do this, but purchases his provisions, his whlto Hour, etc., from tho storcB. I asked him why no did not do a6 I did with the wheat, and ho answered j "My wife would not stand for it. Tho neighbors would mako fun of her. You can afford to do lt; you don't caro wlinthor they make fun of you or not.'' , Great Wealth a Trust. "So man can cam a million dollars-r-Ic. may get It legally, but ho cannot can-not earn lt. Tt Is In hlc hands as a trust and ho must gh'ri lt baclc Mr. Carnegie and Mr. Ilockefellr are giving giv-ing It back. The rich soem to be beginning be-ginning to.reallzo thin now. Why. Mr. Cameglo has mado provision to give away $!)75,O00,00O and will keep only a paltry Incomo of 523,000.000 for himself. Half the children of this country aro starving. This Is truo of tho rich as well aa the poor, tho rich by reason rea-son of Ignorance and the poor by reason rea-son of poverty. The children aro not fed properly. The principal Industry of Salt Lake Is eating. Tho children nv. doln? It: evrrybodv Is dolnr U. ) but nro they doing H properly? 1 con say this, however: statistics show that Utah has tho longcst-llfcd people In the country and tho healthiest. health-iest. You and tho governor are to bo congratulated. If ono lives sixty years ho spends five years eating, twenty years getting something to cat and about twenty years sleeping. DruHgery Imaginary. There Is no such thing as drudgery except In the mind. Xs'o matter now humble It Is. If it Is well dono, lt Is a glory. Somo girls will not learn lo cook becauso they consider that drudgery. Their mothers should teach them to cook. Some like to cook. I know a. girl who wan mado to pound the Ivories for fifteen years. Then, In sheer desperation, sho ran away with tho chauffeur. She had had fifteen years of hard labor, but no cooking. cook-ing. Good cooks will stop the divorce di-vorce mills. If all wives woro good cooks tho husbands would be like cats; thoy could not bo driven away from tho table, or, if they wore driven off. like tho cat. Ihcy would comn back. T wish we had more cook-rtoven cook-rtoven and fewer pianos. I would rathor he ablo to cook a potato well than to bo ablo to paint tho fresco at the "Vatican. I heard a woman lecture lec-ture on the subject of "How to Keep Husbands." When she was finished a woman ln the audience pot up and said, "tho way to keen husbands lo , to reed tho brutes," and sho was right. Guest at Banquet.
