SAYS SOCIETY WOMEN
TAKE REFUGE IN FlBS
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. II am afraid
there are some society women in this
city who are eligible for membership
in theAnanias club" said Postmaster
Frank Wyman today. The postmaster
based his assertion on the fact that
complaints have been received against
the mail service lately, and he believes
it is not the postal system which is at
fault, but the cOnsciences of women
who don't hesitate to tell what he calls
social fibs.'
Mrs. George w. Parker complained
to Mr.. Wyman that thirteen of $50 in
vitations to a reception at the ST. Louis
Womens club Friday were lost in the
mails. The reception was given by
Mrs Parker Mrs. Ewing Hill, jr., and
Mrs H. y. Brueggeman. Mr. Wyman
said he didn't believe the thirteen in
vitations We're lost.
The supposed losses in the mails
come about when women receive in
vitations to affairs and don't go" he
explained They are asked why they
didn't accept, and say they didn't re-
ceive Invitations.
The mail service is all right The
machinery of this Office is so compli-
Gated and the details are so many and
urgent that it is a matter of no small
consequence to take w complaints.
If that complaint is the result Of So
cial fbs or they might be called by
other names, it is certainly unjust to

PRIESTS REVIVE
OLD TIME. WAYS
San Fernando Mission Is to Again
Become Religious Center for
Special Work Among
Mexicans

The old San Fernando mission will
again resound with the musical tones
of the Spanish tongue. The Sons of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary, of Spanish
foundation, are to have charge of the
mission as arranged by Bishop Conaty
in conjunction with the provincial su
perior Very Rev. Ramon Pratt, c. NJ.
F., and Rev b. Marinas, superior of the
cathedral at San Antonio, Tex. These
priests have been in the city the past
week. consulting with the bishop. The
announcement of this installation of a
new order in the diocese is one of the
most important made by the bishop for
many months. The MeXicans will be
the special objects of solicitude.
The agreement has been approved by
the diocesan consulters and has been
signed by the bishop and superior. 1t
is expected that the priests will take
charge of San Fernando next week.
Aside from the parOchial work and its
missions the priests will assist the pas
tor of the diocese among the MeXicans.
The mission will in time be restored
and again become a religious center.
The order dates its origin from about
the same time as that of the Sisters of
the Immaculate Heart, and whose
mother house is in Hollywood. Arch
bishop Anthony Claret, who has since
been declared venerable founded the
order in 1S49. The general mother house
is in Amanda de Duero, Spain, the moth
er house for this continent being in
the City Of Mexico, which was estab-
lished tWenty-three years ago. There
are now nine houses in Mexico, the one
at San Fernando TO be the third in the
United States. The order numbers 1000
priests and brothers, the object being
to give missions and retreats.

weak, for he could retain little nourish-

it was decided to make the canvass of
the business district one OF the strong
features of the second week of thc
campaign.
Two of the members Of the commit
tee quietly made up their minds that
the beginning point should be with the
highest official of the city and. ac.
cordingly, they invaded the mayors
sanctum. The result was subscrip-
tion for $1,000, the mayor very grace
fully consenting to head the list.

nous hundred women were presented
at yesterdays meeting I. y. Van
Nuys and Miss Frances Clarke. These.
with the check for $1,000 from a friend
who requested that her name be with
held, brings the number to twenty-five.
The subscriptions of $1,000 and up re-
ceived to date thus total SS3 900, al
though, with the others who will sure
ly sign within a few days, the COM
mittee safely estimated that one-quar-
ter of the minimum amount, Sl50,COO,
had been raised in the first week. The
necessity of bringing the amount 70
100000 by Feb IA was strongly urged.
Although lack of space necessitates
the holding of the large committee
meetings outside the central rooms. the
regular headquarters for the campaign
are in the association rooms in the Pa

found there every day.

PROOF POSITIVE THAT TUBERCULOSIS

church of the United Brethren I'm

avenue and South Water street, Dem

ment severe test as to the perma-
nency of it's cure for tuberculosis.
On Dec. 8, 1908. he had his sputum ex-
amined by f. II. Martin, City Chemist
of Colorado Springs, and there were
found 129 tubercle bacilli to the slide.
He then commenced the Bensonizcr
treatment, and in 60 days therea after, or
on Feb. II, 1904, the city chemist was
unable to find any tubercular germs I'm

after thorough physical examination,

and also his work as secretary of the

summer without the least recurrence of
his disease. showing that this treat
ment is real and sure cure; that after
patient has gone through with a
thorough course of treatment, the lungs
are entirely cleaned out and that there
are no germs left in the system to cause
any further trouble of any kind.
While DR.. Smith was at his home
this summer he officiated at the we'd

There Is usually in the minds of the
public a suspicion as to the trust

because usually the signers of the tcs-

able one and proves beyond question
that tuberculosis is no longer the
dreaded scourge that it formerly was.
and that it can and is being cured to
stay cured. And what is more import
ant than all else that when patient
is cured he can travel and live in any
climate, without restriction or him

This treatment Is no longer an expert
