now it is a question of whisky or wine,

style, insist that Scotch whisky ana

Ohio State Convention Discloses the

or Tuesday of last week the knights
of Columbus of Ohio held their state
/ council at the Grand hotel in Co.
lumbus. The various conventional
committees performed their conven-
tional tasks, and the state officers rem
dered their annual reports. The re-
port Of the state deputy showed the
marvellous growth of the order dur
inE the past year and its present pros
porous condition.
on December 81. 1900. our member
ship was 1886 insurance and 3s.265
associate members, which gave us at
that time a total of 6S,7Ol. On the last
day of last December our membership
was 81, 100 insurance and 46.016 asSo-
ciate members. making our total mem
herShlp at the beginning of this year
1896, distributed among 500 councils.
Our financial growth has been no less
remarkable. Last year we paid $234.-
600 in death benefits. Our mortality
was 10. On December 81. 1900, the
amount of funds in our order was $685.
42426; on the last day of last year.

we have twenty-seven councils. with a
total membership of upward of $500.

Evil of Short Stockings.

Short stockings" says a chiropo-
dist, are fully as bad as short shoes.
Many customers who come to me with
ingrowing nails wonder how they were
produced when care has always been
taken to wear shoes amply long, and
are greatly surprised when l tell them
a short stocking will produce an in
growing nail just as surely and about
as quickly as a short shoe. Mothers
are often careless in this respect par
ticulaTly If they are buying stockings
for family of growing children. The
rapidity with which the different sizes
become outgrown confuses them. and
the result is that the steadily enlarg-
ing foot of the boy or girl slipping into
the early teens is very often not pro-
vided for"

MATRIMU NAL ADVERTISING.
Catholic Editors Advice to Young
Men Seeking wives.

During the past few weeks we have
received several letters from men who
desire through our columns TO attract
the favorable notice of Catholic girls
with view to marriage. Apparently
these writers are honest and sincere.
and we do not doubt their good inten-
tons. but for reasons, obvious to the
worldly wise. it would be out of place
for us to publish any such offers.
The matrimonial journals are re-
sronsible for untold misery. Only last
week we read in the Yankton Herald
that the gambler who committed sui

her first order with a grocer, has been
sent to the Portland Oregonian The
incident is said TO have happened in
Portland. However. the story will in

of serving her with. and she proceeded
to place her first order as follows:

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Feed regularly as well as literally.
Give pulverized alum for scours,
with wheat bran.
Have water convenient for your
sheep. They drink little and often.
Keep the lambs growing from the
start. If fat, sell them when they
weigh 80 to so pounds.
Ewes that prove poor mothers, OF
refuse their own lambs, might as
well go to the butcher.
Do not feed lambs on rape alone,
but accustom them to it gradually
when fed with other fodder.
An authority on lambs for market
says pure-bred or high-grade lambs
should not be kept beyond six
months.
In feeding shredded corn fodder
20 sheep, bran and oats may be
mixed with the stover to avoid any
trouble that may come from over
feeding of carbonaceous elements.
If sheep have catarrh, put them in
well-ventilated Isn and give each,
twice day in their food, a teaspoon
full of mixture of equal parts dried
suIphate of iron, powdered ginger
and gentian roots. Feed generously
of oats, bran, roots and good hay
