SYNOD RESOLVES AGAINST DANCING Emphatic Protest on Tendency to Introduce Terpsichorean Teaching in Schools. PRINCIPLE CALLED WRONG Proselyting Practices of Mormon Church Denounced Swedish Girls Are Converts. The Augustana synod this morning placed itself strongly on record against dancing, and more particularly against the practice of teaching dancing in the public schools. The resolution adopv ed by the synod was presented by Rev. Adolph Hult of Omaha, and embodied the recommendations which had been previously made by Dr. E. Norelius, president of the synod, in his annual report to the synod. The resolution, which was adopted unanimously, reads as follows: "Whereas, The underlying principles of the common schools system require that we deviate neither to the right by giving specific religious instruction. thereby confounding respective func tions of the church and the state, nor to the left by, favoring such practices as are opposed to the Christian . re ligion, "Resolved, That we, members of the Augustana synod in jubilee convention assembled, do most emphatically pro test against the tendency to introduce the dance in our pu&Tlc schools, be lieving it to be wrong in principle to use the public money for such pur poses and for the paid servants of the public in their official capacity to act as instructors in dancing." Hot Shot at Mormoniam. The synod also took occasion to de nounce the proselytic practices of the Mormon church with reference to Swedish immigrants, and appointed a committee to prepare an address to the Swedish government to take steps to protect Swedish girls from the Mor mon agents who are working in Swe den at the present time. It is reported that these agents have succeeded in converting a large number of girls to their religion, and have induced them to leave their native land for Utah to become the wives of Mormons. The committee appointed to prepare the address to the Swedish govern ment is composed of Revs. Linder. Asler, Krantz and Abrahamson. The action of the synod followed the re port of the Utah mission board, which pictured the conditions existing there and urged that immediate steps be taken. Jerusalem Society Organised.

One is known as the epidermis, or outer skin, which has no fibres, and serves principally as a covering to the body, and a protection from outward dangers to the delicate llesh beneath. The other la3'er is known as tne derma, or true skin, and is composed of elastic fibres, fat tissue, glands, lymphatics, nerves, etc. The thousands of tiny veins and arteries with which it is interlaced constantly supply every fibre and tissue with healthful properties from the circulation to keep the skin smooth and perfect. This is changed, however, when the blood becomes infected with humors, acids or impurities. Instead of constantly suppling rich, nutritive properties to the skin, the circulation deposits the acrid impurity with which it is contain inated. into the sensitive fibres and tissues. This causes irritation and inflammation, which splits or breaks the thin outer cuticle, while the tissues beneath ulcerate and discharge upon the surface in the form of Eczema, Salt Rheum, Tetter, etc. There is like wise a dry form of skin diseases, such as Acne, Psoriasis, etc. In these varie ties thD humor in the blood diseases and inflames the glands, hair follicles.
