He chided the bishops for what he likened to carelessness in fail-to- g to gain a better knowledge of the afternoon e y of tbelr charges, and declared that members of the church ikould strive to settle whatever differences that might arise between them w lthout recourse to either church lenonalitles courts. civil Lunds talk urged a greater and more regular attendance at ncramental meetings.

Smith presided oyer both sessions. Apostle Smoot de-- r arod his belief that in the end the Mormon church will accomplish the work that the Lord designed for It and added that if the teachings of the church were put In force throughout the world, the world would be a great deal better place for it. Clawson Apostle spoke briefly in denunciation of moving picture houses and other forms of Sabbath antuse-ment- s for their tendency to keep the young from religious observance. The Irresistible growth of Mormon Ism from a faith having but six followers In 1830 to the churchs present day magnitude, together with a prediction that the Fathers decree that the world should be redeemed by means of the latter-dadispensation as promulgated through Joseph Smith, formed the nucleus of the opening address at the afternoon session. ApoS' tie George Albert Smith, the first speaker, likened the members of the Mormon faith to the leaven which shall some day accomplish the leavening of the world, at the same time calling the attention to the fact that even among the followers of faiths opposed to Morraonism there is a noticeable tendency to incorporate in the revision of their creeds some of the basic teachings of the Mormon faith. That Mormonism Is not a book taught religion and that instead of being held down in its teachings and operation to eon old tenets, it follows the last word of God, was the crux of the address delivered by Apostle Orson F. Whitney. Mormonism, he declared, is the fulfillment of a prophecy of the coming of a marvelous work and a wonder made 700 years before the birth of Jesus Christ, and he said that the fulfilment of this prophecy In these latter days was such a wonderful thing that most men rejected it as a fable. Apostle Whitney followed the building up of Utah and the far west through the early days and of the gradual improvement that resulted following the arrival of the Mormons In the oxcarts. lie declared that it is Gods will that man should avail himself of progress and make use of the new things as they were introduced and not to follow ideas either in religion or life that have become auti-quitte- Apostle David O. McKay made teaching the subject of his address. He decried the fact that many of the members of the priesthood believe that their work is not of much Importance and declared that no work in the church could be considered more, or less, important than another. The music, as usual, was one of the enjoyable features of the conference. At the morning session on Sunday, October 8, it was necessary to hold overflow meetings. Present day extravagances, both by individuals and by the governing bodies of cities, states and nation, and the seeming tendency of members of the church to take part in Sunday amusements and card playing, furnished themes of addresses delivered by Apostles Anthony W. Ivins, Joseph F. Smith, Jr., and James E. Talmage. War was another topic touched on by Apostle Ivins. "In my travels," he said, I met men who advocated war. They told me that our national dignity had been injured and they demanded In return that the guilty be humiliated. The only redress they could see was the humiliation of the other fellow. "Mexico is smaller than the United States and it may have looked easy to Austria to enter Serbia, but one never can tell where these things will end. If war comes to this country, I say, let It not be of our making. Let us stand for peace an example of kindness and peacefulness to the world." The modern dance, picture shows, Sunday amusements and card playing came in for denunciation at the hands F. Smith, Jr. of Apostle Joseph return to "Should the Redeemer earth, he said, "he would find faith among the people. That is, a small percentage of the people. He would not find it generally among the rations of the world." Apostle James E. Talmage reviewed the benefits that have been derived by members of the church in attendance upon the conference session by the words of the speakers. Fralses had not alone been given, he said, but warnings also. During the afternoon service the general authorities of the church were sustained. President Francis M. Lyman of the quorum of apostles lead the list of authorities, and as the names wore called 15,000 hands were raised In affirmative approval of the selection made. The general authorities are the same that have held office since the of last conference, with the exception as Lund C.

London. Bandages are eliminated in the latest methods of healing obstinate wounds here. This Is one of the marvelous developments of surgery to which the war 1ms given Impetus, One of the horrors of hospitals Is dressing wounds. Strong, brave men scream Involuntarily with pain every day when the bandages are removed and the wounds treated. At Queen Alexandra's military hos pltal today several patients were ex hlbited undergoing the new treatment Two of these men were most severely wounded In September of last year, and for ten mouths had been treated In the customary way without any sign of healing. On August 2 they were brought to this hospital, the bandages were flung sway, the wounds were subjected to repeated applications of a stream of ozone, being lightly covered with a loose layer of lint In the Intervals, and In four days healing wus In roplS progress. This treatment Is simplicity Itself, Oxygen passes from a reservoir Into an electrical machine which converts It Into ozone; the ozone flows out through a fine metal tube. The tna chine Is wheeled close to the patients bed, the - wound uncovered, and a ozone stream of the microbe-killin- g flows Into the deepest recesses. No painful dragging off of bandages, no rebandaglng of the limb to hurt and exhaust the patient New Treatment a Success.

The limb Is not swathed In many yards of bandages as was the custom, but lies between sandbags to secure Immobility and Is covered only with n single layer of lint. The lint Is kept constantly wet with peroxide of hydrogen. Surrounding the leg Is a large cage covered with a sheet of thin butter muslin, so that the wound Is continually refreshed by a free current of air.
