We are indebted to Congressman e..
J. Bowers for copy of his able speech
on "National Quarantine. Mr.. Bow
ers closed his speech with the following:
"And now, Mr.. Speaker, let me dis
claim any intention to criticize or ami
madvert on any health officer or board
of health. / am willing to concede to
all of them the desire to do right, and l
know that much good has followed their
efforts. My argument and criticism is
aimed at the system and method which
permits such outrageous and varied
abuses, which | would change, and Tor
which | would substitute a broad ma
tional system, contemplated and au-
thorlzed by the constitution, and whic h
will not only protect commerce, but pre-
serve the health of all the people OF this
Union.

In the Great Outdoors.

Now and Their men commit most fool
ish acts. Bothered by business cares,
worried by troubles, they rack their
nerves and go sleepless until temporary
insanity drives them to deeds that can
not be repaired. Some one has said
that dependency was a form OF self
deceit; that we are not worth bothering
so much about. There is something in
that.
The other day, according to the daily
papers, a man became so involved IN
business affairs that he planned an at
tack of murder on wealthy old couple,
in order that he might rob them. He
was middle-aged man who had hith-
erto led an honest life. But he had
worried until the act was attempted
He failed, and to hide his shame and
prevent capture he suicided.
Of course he was termed brutal. 1t
was an atrocious deed. But when we
go down deep into the matter we can
only have pity for the man, murderer
though he was. 1t is too bad that his
suffering condition could not have been
averted; that he could not have looked
upon the world in a newer light before
it was too late.
Gods great out-of-doors will cure
man of these inward ills, and they are
only inward ills. A man can be no
worse than penniless, and the Man OF
Galilee "knew not where to lay his
head". God made the birds and the
skies for Affections of the heart. He in
tended that a man should get out away
from men occasionally and commune
with the blue sky and listen to the bab-
BILE of the stream. The songs that the
birds sing, if interpreted, would be
"what's the use", and "don't you care. "
All, if men who are weary and trou-
bled could be led out into the great out
of-doors, where the old gladstone feel
ings would be experienced again, most
of them would laugh at the bogy that
confronts them.-Yazoo City Sentinel

A c.rs;nal'. Motive for Fasting,

Fasting tends to prolonE life. A
we'll known cardinal named Stanislas
Osius observed all the fasts of the
Church most scrupulously in spite Of
his great age. His friends told him
that he would shorten his life by his
asceticisn,. and thus the Church would
be deprived too soon Of one Of her
most valuable supporters. ION the
contrary" the Cardinal replied, Il have
every reason to expect that if keep
the fasts conscientiously, God will
grant me q long life. The fourth COM
mandment says: Honor thy father
and thy mother that thou mayest be
long Lived in the land which the Lord
thy God will give thee 1t is the will
Of my Father in Heaven, almighty God,
that I should mortify myself and fast;
my mother. the Church, indicates the
days on which am to fast. Since l
obey both God and the Church, hope
that length OF days will be granted

of honesty, who scorn to take anything
that they have not rightfully earned,
whose word can be trusted seven days
in the week, who are self-contained,
resolute, and strong. Above all, it
needs men who understand the powers
Of mind in welding materials and
forces. This world Is a workshop in
which to build character. The t,ols
are the duties and opportunities thst
come to men. The materials out of
which the structure is made are the
inherited tendencies and uniformed
characteristics bound up in the In
dividual. The workman is the soul.
He gives his orders through the will.
Sometimes both the materials and the
tools are poor. Yet IL they are used
to the best advantage. the Great Con-
tractor will not find fault. In the
great majority Of cases, however, the
implements and the timber arc good.
In these cases the result depends
wholly upon the workmanship, on the
amount of skill, labor, and conscience
that are put into the effort.

cluded, and this solitary meal was not
partaken of until after Vespers. Some
what later. about the eighth century,
a slight modification OF the fast took
place in this that, on account Of the
thirst fasting caused, the custom Of
drinking little wine or water in the
evening was introduced in the Order
Of the Benedictines. Again. towards
the end of the eleventh century, the
Benedtctines, apprehensive lest drink
ing without eating might be prejudicial
to health, thought it their duty to take
q small piece Of bread with what they
drank in the evening. AS q commuta-
ton for this, the increased their
reading Of the Fathers Of the Church
in the refractory. This extra reading
they called going to the collation."
Thus the word collation. became a term
for the slight evening repast in Lent
in the Church out in the world.
