The Fasting Fad.

We are living in an age Of fads, re-
marks an exchange, and as its opinion
has been solicited in regard to the
fasting fad" it proceeds to give it as
follows:
There is no particular advantage to
be gained from going hungry. Hunger
is the voice Of nature telling US that
the system needs food and, like all Of
natures warnings, should be needed.
To be sure, great many, we might
say the majority, of people eat too
much as we'll as too often. Blu. the
entire abstinence from food is an ex-
ceptional remedy if it Is used at all.
In cases where ones stomach is filled
with germs it is far better to fast than
to go on eating in the usual way. but
even then it is not necessary, for one
can get all the benefits Of fasting and
more without discomfort by subsisting
for time upon a fruit diet. In this
way the germs are starved out. the
fruit juice acting as dinfectant.
Usually one or two days of this kind
of fasting is all that is needed, and it
is not always necessary to use the
fruit entirely alone even then. Some
dry sterilized bread, such as zweiback
or ganose, may be taken with 1t with
out interfering with the purposa of
the fast. 1t is really wonderful What
can be accomplished by the Use of
fruit in Kidding the digestive tact of
germs.

LESSON OF THE HAYWOOD TRIAL

A representative jury of ranchers,
farmers and tradesmen of the state Of
Idaho has acquitted William D. Hay
wood Of the charge Of completely in the
murder of Governor Steunenberg. The
verdict strikes the average man as a

II there was a good reason shown for
the rule Of the common law that a de-

the uncorroborated evidence of an ac-

furnished it. How could honest men
be expected to believe such a creature.

not be duplicated in any other school.

not important for he was coward
From that mans lips came the first
charge and the only charge that others
had acted cowardly. Women who
were rescued are unanimous in saying
that male passengers rescued acted
with the greatest consideration for the
women. They freely gave what little
clothing they had time to take with
them to the women passengers and
protected themselves from the weather
by crouching in the bottom of the life
boats. This third officer was in COM
nand Of one of those boats, fully
dressed. overcoat and all, and when
requested by one of the men to give
some of his clothing to a suffering
woman. he replied that his clothing
was his own. This was the man who
also threatened to strike over the head
with an oar a poor wretch who was
hanging on the side Of the boat un-
less he loosened his grasp.

The weekly paper, Rome in noting
the golden Jubilee celebration of the
American College. Louvain, Belgium,
has this to say: Two years hence the
American College in Rome will cele-
brate the same happy event. 1t is not
unlikely that by that time the students
of the latter college will number one
hundred and fifty and it would be
hard indeed to predict the extent of its
development in the near future. In
spite of all We know about the mag
nificent expansion of the Church in the
United States. it is hard to realize that
the time has now come when almost a
thousand new priests will have to be
ordained every year to meet the spir-
itual needs of American Catholics"

Cleanliness and Character.

uncleanness never pays-even when
sary. A few years ago it was the
regular business of some men to wipe
engines, keep them free from oil and
dust. Later on it was discovered that
a dirty engine did about as good work
as a clean one, so freight engines were
not wiped as aforetime. A strange
thing happened. The men who worked
upon the engines became careless and
of an Indifferent character, tending to
decentralization. There was marked
increase in "engine failures" in which
roundhouse men and engine crews
have again restored the engine clean
ers: not that the locomotives needed
cleaning SO much as the men who
operated them needed a better inf1u-
ence upon them. 1T is gratifying to
note" says the Railway and Engineer
ing Review, "the recognition of the
fact that one Of the essentials in Sc
curing good locomotive performance
lies in providing the engine crews with
clean engines to run and the shop men
with clean engines to work on and
clean surroundings to work in" In
difference to cleanliness, carelessness
as regards machinery, even when such
Indifference to cleanliness seems to re-
suit in no immediate loss, are sure to
react upon men, lowering their moral
tone. resulting in shiftlessness in other
affairs of life. The writer has often
been amazed at the action of farmers
leaving their machinery standing in
the field from one season to another.

that such exposure did not hurt the

ible, yet it cannot fail to hurt" every
man and boy on the farm. Care, clean

In its last issue, the Boston Pilot
celebrated it's SEVENTEEN anniversary.
The Pilot is the pioneer of Irish Cath
olic journalism in the United States.
1t has always maintained, better than
any other paper we know of, it's claim
of being the leading paper Of it's kind
IN this country. 1t las GOOD reason 10
be proud Of its record. 1t was a val
liant defender of the Irish Catholic at
a time when it was not only not pop
ular to be such, but when it was dan
gerous. When the first issue of the
Pilot came from the press in 1885. the
spirit of knownothingisnn was strong.
Outbreaks were frequent in different
'arts Of tho country against Catho-
lies. At that time no Catholic could
hold an Office in Boston. either cleo
tive or appointive. not even on the
police force. 1t was under such condi-
tons that Patrick Donahoe founded
the Pilot. The Pilot has lived and been
a part Of the great change that has
taken place in the chief city of New
England. It's influence was naturally
more felt in Boston than any othel
place. but its work has extended over
the entire country. Two names are in

number is facsimile of

The Catholic Union and Times of
Buffalo publishes an article from the
Albany Chronicle on the availability
of John S. Whaen as d Democratic
candidate for Governor of the state
OF New York. The article calls atten-
ton to the fact that Whalen is Cath

candidacy OF Francis Herman thirty
five years ago. when that distinguished
statesman was defeated by an over

ties. He charged that she would go
out several nights week, leaving him
to care for their six children. The
judge appeared to think he ought to
be relieved of such woman. There
is no doubt but too many women are
guilty of this sort Of folly. They do
not seem to think that it is any part
Of their duty to make home pleasant
to their children or their husbands.
They would rather have the applaus.
OF outsiders than of those who are,
or ought to be, near and dear to them.
Still, in justice, let it be said that the
vast number Of mems clubs, lodges
and societies are doing their share in
causing marital unhappiness. What
pleasure has wife in the society of a
man who is absent enjoying frivolities
six nights each week? There are too
many clubs. and lot of married peo-
pie who attend them ought to have
few clubs broken over their heads.

was largely the efforts of the Minne-
sofa Immigration Society, Of which
Judge John w. Willis of St Paul was
president The board consists of the
governor. the auditor the secretary Of
state, together with two other mem
bers appointed by these three state
officials. There is no salary connected
with an appointment to this board. II
is a matter of considerable surprise
to people acquainted with the work
of the migration society and it's
president, Judge Willis, that the gov
ernor, secretary of state and auditor
failed to recognize Judge Willis. who
gave so much of his time toward Sc
curing the enactment of the law. The
two appointees to the board are a. F.

be interested in the land business. II
is easy to see how an appointment on
this board would be very useful to a
man engaged in the land business, and
it is equally easy to see that such an
