When the Thirst Craze Comes.

established, says tho American Maya
zinc, was investigated by DIR. Charles
l.. Dana, and his conclusions, being

arc not only of great scientific value,
bu: have Il practical application as
well. Briefly, it might be said that

years of age, and IL Il man has ~;

drinking between thirty and forty
years Of age that one who has reached
the age Of thirty without excuses is
almost surely safe. Dana stated that
no cases arise after forty years Of
age. There Is Il popular idea, no
doubt, that numerous cases do arise
after forty, but 1t is not ut all unlike
~ that investigation into their early
histories will bring to light long
series OF occasional overindulgcnces
with some symptoms dating back to
childhood. Dana evidently refers to
real inebriety in youth, and not to tho
lapses which SO many young men
wrongly assume to be n part Of their
education, nor does he assert that all
youthful inebriates are incurablc, but

quite remarkable they have elicted so

for the prevention of drunkenness.

ed in our own country. 1t is Just be-

THE OPEN DOOR NEGLECTED.
That is, Door Of the Catholic Church
On other Days Than Sunday.

That is, Door Of the Catholic Church
On other Days Than Sunday.
The magazine, the press and the
public platform have spoken much on
the subject of the open door, says the
Church Progress. But the
open door to which we would attract
attention is not the one which has
given rise to so much discussion. 1t
is rather tho open door neglected.; that
is, the door of the Catholic church on
other days than Sunday and those of
obligation.
Throughout the world the custom ob I.
tains Of keeping the Catholic churu.,
open from early morning until after
nightfall every day of the year. A.
though Of late years there are som.
imitators Of the custom among certain
of the sects, still it is peculiarly Cath
Ole and of Catholic origin. 1t is 8
great privilege accorded the faithful,
having it's foundation in the fact that
the church is the temple of God, and in
its tabernacle dwells the Living God
Himself. To every Catholic His pres
encc there is an answering belief, Il
positive fact. Not In the language of
men. but in the voice OF faith He
speaks to all: Come We, who are
heavily burdened, and 1 will refresh
you"
How few, unfortunately. heed the in
vitation, save when failure to do so
means the penalty Of a grievous sin.
How comparatively few avail them
selves of the great privileges of visit
ing our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
thus present in the tabernacle Of our
churches. How many have presented
them the opportunity not once, but
several times during the day for such
visits, but spurn the open door in pass
ing. How strange that Jesus Christ
should plead and promise refreshment
sent themselves for the divine exercise
Of His Omnipotent love.
The open door and the empty church,
save on Sundays and holy days of OBJ
legation, speak n powerful rebuke. Oc-
casions Of duty do not show forth the
powers Of love so beautifully nor so
forcefully as do those where duty does
not impel. There is no voluntary
virtue in the act which compulsion
cXacts. He who measures his worship
to God by the rule Of duty alone may
be planning for himself the longest
possible term in Purgatory.
Let us hearkcn, then to the pleading
Of the Living Jesus in our tabernacle.
Let us seek Him there frequently and
lay our burden ut His feet. Let us
never pass the open door afoot without
entering and paying brief visit to
Jesus in tho Blessed Sacrament

LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS.
Various Offices RefilIed Without the
Least Friction

Practically the entire legislative ses-
sion Of last Tuesday was consumed by
the elections scheduled for that day.
All elections were disposed of except
those connected with the dispensary
system. All of the incumbent judges,
directors and trustees Of state colleges
were reelected with one exception.
There was entire good feeling in the
elections. A viva voce election is nee
essary in each case and there can be no
casting of a unanimous vote or per-
mitting some one to cast the vote.
Under the constitution every ballot
has to be viva voce, and 1t took great
deal of time to call the roll, record the
votes and announce the results, but 1t
had to be done even where there was
no opposition. The election resulted:
Chief justice of the supreme court,
the Hon. Y. ]. Pope, for the term of
eight years.

cult. the Hon. Charles G. Dantzler; I'd
