 The low barometer area over the upper Missouri Valley yesterday has moved east ward to the lower Lake region, with outer lines of disturbance dipping southward to the northern edge of the cotton belt. It has caused much warmer, cloudy weather from the Mississippi Valley east with rain or snow oyer the northeast quarter of the country and sprinkles of rain in the scattered parts Of the South. The barometer is highest over eastern Florida and a limited area of relatively high barometer extending from the Missouri Valley to Arkansas has caused a moderate temperature fall from Montana south to Western Texas and will cause fair slightly colder in Alabama tonight and Fri day. Another low pressure area dipping south over Washington is giving rain snow in Pacific coast and Plateau regions.

chism in the hands Of the earnest
parent and the jealous priest We
have had enough and more than
enough of the abstract and the
philosophical. The Holy Father re-
alizes this. and bids US get down to
the useful and the practical. When
the great Gers0n gave up his profess
sor's chair to teach catechism to little
children he gave an example which
many modern professors might well
initiate. We need fewer professors
and more catheists; less beating of the
air concerning controvcrted points Of
philosophy and theology and more at

Queen Now a Nun.

The rumor that the Queen Mother

marriage of King Alfonso calls to mind
the fact that the widow Of an cx-king

The royal nun was born Princess
Adelaide OF Lowenstein-W -Wertheim-

Miguel Duke Of Braganza, who oc-

to 1884. In the latter year he alb

Mustard plasters.

The following rule for Il mustard
plaster that does not blister is given
by an experienced trained nurse: Mix
about three parts of flour with one
part Of mustard, moisten it with 4
little white Of egg and spread between
two thin pieces Of cotton cloth. DO
not let it stay on the flesh more than
twenty minutes. Its efficacy does not
increase after this time. The white of
an egg prevents the mustard from
raising Il blister There is quite a diff
ference in mustard. If the mustard
Gsed is mild mix the plaster with half
and half flour and mustard. If very
strong mix with three or even four
parts Of flour to only one of mustard.
