A Little Loss

Of flesh and strength. little barking,
obstinate cough and little pain in the
chest may not mean galloping con-
sumption, but they are signs that pru-
dence will not neglect. A few doses
of Aliens Lung Balsam cause a free
discharge Of mucous and SO loosens
the cough. It heals the infamed air
passages and all its benehcent work
is accomplished without a grain of
opium.

ABBOT
THOMAS
TODAY
Conservation at Mt. Angel
Drew Large Number of
Catholics TO That
Place

One of the events of the history o.
the Catholic church of the Northwest
was the conservation day of Very Rev
Father Prior Thomas, as first abbott
of the Mt. Angel monastery. Members
of the Catholic church from all sec
tions of Oregon were present, and the
ceremonies were among the most i'm
pressive ever participated in by lay
men and ecclesiastics of that church
The history of Mt Angel and the
Benedictine Fathers in Oregon is one
of continual growth and progress. In
1881 Abbott Anselm, of Engleberg
! Switzerland, commissioned Father
Adelhelm to come to this country and
! found monastery. After a careful
search of the West for a suitable 10.
! cation, he selected Marion county,
and first settled at Gervais, later pur.
chasing 1900 acres of land six miles
east of that town and naming the new
home Mt. Angel.
The first party consisted of Fathers
Adelhelm, Nicholas, Bede, Theodul,
Barnabas and Anselm. These, with a
number of candidates and brothers,
commenced life at the present site,
and from barren hillsides a great edu.
cational and religious institution has
been erected.
The ceremonies today were similar
to that of the conaecration of bishop
and were conducted by the apostolic
delegate, Most Rev. Archbishop Sol
COMO, of Washington, d. C. Those
who will also be present and assist
are Archbishops Orth, of Vancouver,
B. c., and Montgomery, of San Fran.

The new abbott is popular with the
people of Mt. Angel. He is nearly 40
years of age, and has been at the alb.
bey about 16 years He is of Swiss
birth, and his family is one of the
best in the father land.
