Reading AZ n Cure.

The practice of reading aloud at reg
ular intervals is of great benefit to any
one affected with q chest complaint.
In all cases Of lung trouble it is impor-
tant to indulge in those exercises by
which the chest is in part filled or emp
tied of air, and reading aloud, singing
and whistling are three of those exer-
ciScS.
There are many who cannot sing,
and we do not expect the fair sex to
whistle. but reading aloud can be prac-
ticed by all. Care must be taken not
to overdo it, of course, and the body
should be in such position as to allow
the chest to have free play.
Reading aloud, if we pay attention
to what we are doing, will not only
be beneficial from the standpoint of
health. but will also have the effect of
making us better speakers by teaching
us proper modulations of the voice and
by increasing our knowledge.
This is where it has the advantage
over whistling and singing.

The Breton Peasant.

If there is a country where the tradi-
tion of hatred Of 1.-The Englishman"
as hereditary enemy still holds it is
in Catholic Brittany. In the eyes of
the Breton peasants and fishermen the
Englishman is the enemy with whom
they have fought battles and will fight
them again.
That is to say. the Englishman
stands for the typical sailor of n man.
of-war or torpedo boat, whom they
will fight when the time comes for
the attack, but no one thinks of him
as man. The enemy is unit of war,
something outside ordinary life. be-
ing in uniform whom it is glorious to
kill. He is "the enemy"-something
which will do great mischief to France
If one does not take care, something
which must be much more terrible and
dangerous than they can imagine. since
all the men Of France lose the best
years of their youth in learning to kill
this eventual adversary.
If ever the peasants come clearly to
realize that the only use Of war is to
kill people like themselves; If ever each
soldier becomes capable Of imagining
what the shock Of two armies is and
by what complicated series of lies and
intrigues peoples are brought to the
point of killing each other, the work of
peace congresses will be wonderfully
simplified.- contemporary Review.

About BAPTISM,

"A Wahpeton lady wishing to
become a Catholic wrote to the
noted Father Lambert, author
of "Notes on Ingersoll" in re-
gard to her baptism and CON
firmation, she received from
him the following letter:
1t is a doctrine of the Catllo-
lie church that any layman or
woman can baptize validly if
he or she observe the proper
form and have the right inten-
ton. A Lutheran minister in
the eyes of the Catholic church
is simply layman, conse-
quently if he had the right in
tention and used the proper
form of words your baptism
would be valid. But did he
have the right intention or use
the proper form? Protestant
ministers mostly look upon
baptism as a mere external
form or ceremony, and are con-
sequently careless in admins
tering it. 1t is considered by
the Catholic urch as of
supreme importance and con-
sequently her priests adminis-
ter baptism with the greatest
possible care as to intention
and form. AS it is a matter of
great-indeed supreme import
ance to your salvation, you will
naturally desire to be certain
and sure about it. Uncertainty
will make your mind uneasy.
If the Lutheran minister look
ed upon baptism as matter of
indifference or of slight i'm
portance,-as a mere external
ceremony, it is doubtful if he
had the proper intention and
used the proper and necessary
form of words when he baptiz-
ed you. And if he did not use
them you are not baptized at all.
The best way is. for you to see
the priest nearest you and talk
the matter over with him. He
will tell you what is best to do
in your particular case. You
may be sure the priest will tell
you what is best and safest to
DO and you may safely rely on
his judgment.
AS to confirmation: you will
OF course have to be confirmed
as the Lutheran minister or
any other layman cannot ad-
minister that sacrament. But
confirmation is not as neces-
sary as baptism. l congratu-
late you on your decision to be-
come a Catholic. The grace of
God has been working i'm your
heart. Yours
l.. A. LAMBERT.

IN SECRET SESSION.
important Meeting Of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers,

Milwaukee, May 22.-One of the
most important conventions in the his.
tory of the Amalgamated Association
OF Iron. Steel and Tin Workers met
here during the day with about $50
delegates present. Immediately after
the opening ceremonies the conven-
tion went into secret session.
This convention will differ from 9th
ers of the same body in that it is ex-
pected more matters of public interest
will develop than ever before. The
relations of the organization with the
recently organized United States
Steel corporation are of vital impor-
tance to wageworkers in general and
the eyes of the entire labor world are
now turned upon the conventions ac.
tions. 1t is probable that nothing will
develop during the first week of the
convention. This will come after the
reports Of the committees have been
completed and placed before the con.
vention for its action.

season, as general manager of
the company of which Alexand-
er Mckenzie is president.
This year he aud Maj. l.. II.
French are associated in the
management of many ri c h
claims in that section. Maj.
French was at one time asso-
ciated with Senator ii ans
brough in the publication of
the Grand Forks Daily News
and will be remembered by
many old timers.
These gentlemen sent the
first party to Cape Nome sail
ing from Seattle on the 9th of
last month, and who have prob
ably arrived there before now.
In the present party are Capt.
NJ. l.. Mccormick, Maj. L. III.

The good wishes of many
residents of Grand Forks will

his party.
Maj. French was resident
of Grand Forks 20 years ago
and is we'll remembered by all
of the old timers aud he is now
president and general manager
of the Cape Nome Hydraulic
Mining company and for the
past few years has been resi-
dent of New York, as are the
majority of those interested in
the company, which has Offices
in both New York and Nome
City.
The company has a very
heavy capitalization and will at
once develop all their properties
as every member of the com
pany that passed through the
city last evening on the flyer
have all confidence in the final
outcome and believe that Alas
ka is richer in gold than is gen
orally believed by those who
have not investigated.-Grand

WHAT'S IN A NAME7
.(Benson's Plaster is Palms Master.)

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty years.
The very name Of Oliver Ames q Son, was
a synonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is ''good" plaster does
not describe it it Is the best possible plaster
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as q matter of course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes Of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back.
etc., are at 0sce benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none of the curative virtues
of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as a remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in q
comparative test with other plasters, Ben
sons has received ft1y.fue highest asoards.
Beware of substitutes and cheap limitations.

pay postage on any number ordered In the
