TO EDUCATE CHILDREN
The Catholic Women OF France Forming
League for Religious
Purposes.
Brooklyn Eagle.

The Catholic women of France are form
ing a league to prevent their children
from growing up without religious in
struct1on. Many Of the sisters who were
expelled from the schools will visit Cath
Ollie families in their homes. With talk
and prayer and reading they will teach
the grown people not to forget their re-
ligion and the children to worship God
according to. Catholic precepts. The sis
ters will be furnished with a library Of
edifying books, which they will circulate.
They will also make up mission to visit
the sick, watch with the dead, in word,
continue the work of the Little Sisters Of
the Poor.
It seems that the principal homes are
overcrowded with nuns who have been ex-
PEELED from the branch houses, and that
all these Catholic societies are wonder
ing what can be done with the idle hands.
I wonder that they do not emigrate to
America; If they could not all found con-
vents, they might go west, get farms,
till the land and make it fruitful.

A Veterans story.

Bath, N. Y, April 13.-The first con-
sideration of the Commandant and
Officers in the conduct of the Soldiers
and Sailors Home here is the health
IT the veterans. Kidney Troubles are
the most common cause Of ailment,
very few of the old men escaping these
in some form or other.
OF course the comrades do as much
as possible for themselves and one Of
the most popular and useful remedies
employed is Dodd's Kidney Pills which
seem to be almost infallible in cases
of Kidney arrangements. Indeed,
shere are among the veterans several
who claim to W their lives to Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
For instance, A. e. Ayers, who came
20 the home from Minneapolis, Mimi,
was given up by four doctors in that
city. He had Bright's disease and new
err expected to live through it, but his
life was saved and his health restored
by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Els experience has made the remedy
-ary popular among the men, and no
one who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills
for any Kidney Trouble has been dis.
appointed.
