three and four story apartment
houses in Buchanan street.
John Macy and his wife, Annie,
were nearly suffocated in their home

of the firemen failed to arouse them
and when the bNilding was almost
enveloped in flames they were fonhd
asleep by firemen, who faced death
in making the rescue, and carried to

in a gargage 1t swept along Blu

reach OF the firemen and were soon
eating their way through the apart

The occupants OF the structure,
half clad, rushed to the street The
fire was roaring menacingly when II
was discovered that Macy and his
wife were not among the ones who
had escaped. The rescue followed.

JOHN MITCHELL.

Perhaps 1t Is not known to Catholics generally
that Mr.. John Mitchell, national president of The
United Mine Workers Union, has lately joined the
church. The news was communicated to the world
by press dispatch from indianapolis, and the re-
port has lately been confirmed. This piece of in
formation should be received with favor by the
Catholic population of this country And why Q
Not, of course because this latest addition to our
ranks will III any perceptibe way affect the great
march of the church in her divine mission; not
that the great principles advocated by the church
in the solution of momentous social problems will
be changed by so important an accretion to her
ranks; not that the church needs borrow light or
strength, even from so eminent mind and so
sterling character as that possessed by Mr.
Mitchell. Why, then, is it worthy of so important
a notice from the Catholic press and why should
it become subject of congratulation among Cath
olce generally? Because it gives the lie to those
who malicousy represent the church as at variance
with present-day thought and present day work in
solving practical present-day problems When
man of Mr.. MitchelPs stamp, an interchangeable
champion of labor and yet cool level-headed. con-
servative and fair-minded opponents when a man of
Mr.. MitchelPs mental and moral attachments. who
is deep student of the serious conditions that face
the public mind in a momentous struggle, and who
also has kind, sympathetic and generous heart
and patient and forbearing nature; when a man
of this calber seeks in the church light peace and
consolation when he makes the doctrines it breaches
the guide of his private and public life it becomes
rebuke to the more shallow-minded, Incorporate
and abusive leaders of public opinion. A man of
Mr.. MitchelPs capacity njustices existing and
feels them with nature sensitive to unfairness,

GIVING.

The season of charity, good will and love has
come and gone Men have given their mite to al
leviate the suffering and poverty about them, and
forgotten all about it, and the struggle for live
lihood-for wages, salaries and profits-s renewed.
What travesty upon charity all this is. And how
unlike therspirit of the Son of God is all the cold
charitableness of the Christmas season In the
complex life of the present time the need of relief
for those unfortunates who have lost in the strug
gle is all too patent to need exposition But have
as Christians fulfilled the work which it is ours
to do? Have we wagcd battle for mankind or for
one man?
The appeal of organized charitable organiza-
tions and Of the church itself seems to be only
for a temporary giving. that some poor people may
indulge in Il feast on the birthday of the Christ.
After the day of days is done and the food scraps
are cleared away the poverty and the hardships
come again, and the charity of the world becomes
cold. There is a great lesson to be learned from
Christmas giving. BY some it is called Socialism;
by others it is called Christianity. and yet by
others it is called humanitaranism. BY whatever
name it may be called, the lesson is the same. God
planted it in the hearts Of men. Everybody knows
it, but in its practice there is much of airy persi-
flage and little of that genuine love for one au-
other which alone can solve industrial problems and
financial crises. There is opportunity to spread
the gospel Of love taught by the Son of God and
perpetuated by the church. but few there are who
seize it. When industrialism and commerce have
attained the height of perfection, aud the system
of self love rather than love for humanity has gone
far to make impossible further progress, the
people will awaken to the fact that they have
strayed far from the teachings Of God and erred
grievously in their Interpretation of Gods word /
and the meaning of life, and reverson to the
simple command, Love one another Will make Civ |
ing unnecessary because there viii be no posses oa
of the things which are the common heritage of

HEALTH HINTS.

Probably no diseases are more readily recognized
by physicians than measles and scarlet fever. APP
parently the doctors know all about the appearance
of the diseases and the percentage of recoveres I'M
der their is very large. But there seems to
be little no knowledge as to their prevention
and when once they get started they spread with
rapidity which is startling There have been
more cases of these diseases in Salt Lake this
winter than there ever were before. sometimes at
tended with serious and fatal results In talking
with prominent physician we were informed that
there have been many cases of measles that were
not reported to the health department and
not attended by any physician Furthermore, he
said that while it was popular belief that measles
is a comparatively harmless disease. children
times are extremely sick with them But while there
is no knowledge of preventive for these diseases,
general health rules have been formulated which
nearly all doctors ndorse. and this is a seasonabe
time to repeat them. The doctors say:
Don't neglect slight colds
Dress warmly
Breathe through the nose.
Keep the feet dry.
Don't keep ovcrcoat or wrap on in the house or
office.
Shun drafts, especially when perspiring.
Keep living and offices well entated
Don't overeat.
Partake sparingly Of liquors.
Of course these rules do not furnish guarantee
of perfect health but by their Observance one is
likely keep his body in better condition than he
would otherwise, and at time when sickness Is
prevalent as now it behooves one to be cautious
in his manner of life if he would escape I'M

lures. The unintelligible and illogical should be
eliminated. The long and involved sentences,
which, if they mean anything, could have that
meaning better expressed in fewer words and
shorter sentences should be revised before enact

pressed and be susceptible of not more than one

But no! that would be a calamity, for if laws
were clear and unmistakable in their meaning there
would be a lot of lawyers who would have to adopt
other professions and the other professions are al

would inevitably drive other professional men to

NEED OF RELIGION.

History and experience combined teach The
necessity of religion for individual happiness, the
welfare of society and the perpetuation OF national
existence From the cradle to the grave pam and
sorrow are nseparable from mans existence. They
give the best knowledge of this world. for they
show clearly that this life is but the threshold Ct
eternity The young building castles in the air.
dream of future happiness; pain and sorrow come
and all their pleasant anticipations are marcel
Only heaven, that is revealed beyond the grave
brings JOY.
Society, which is knit together by law and
order, needs religion. Without religion which has
for its basis obedience to the will of God, there is
no foundation for morality What are termed right
and wrong are eternal verities emanating from the
divine will of Cod and without God would be
meaningless. Atheism is not compatible with NOR
tally. Hence to preserve law and order religion
is needed. As with society so with national exist
ences. Remove all knowledge of God and religious
restraint and the downward tendency to barbarism
will soon be manifest. Such was the sad fate of
of the most renowned nations of antiquity
after their separation from the synagogue.
Our age is now beginning to realize the full
import of the disciples wall of woe when their
ship in the stormy ocean was about to sink, and
they cried out, Lord save us OF we perish" This
cry has gone up from the heart of humanity i'll
every age; goes up today and will go up till the
end of time. The cry is universal in space and in
time All need supernatural aid to save them from
perishing. Like the tmid disciples in the boat
when great tempest arose all who live the ordi
nary span of life have similar experiences when
they are forced to exclaim, Lord save us else we
perish" That woeful exclamation is not confined |
to the hungry poor whose flour aud coal bins are
empty at the commencement of winter but it cx-
tends to the palatial mansions Of the rich. The |
rich not the poor; the employer. not the employee.
have been appealing to heaven for the past two
months. since the financial crisis began. with the
,ry, Lord or perish The cry is in
,cparabe from human existence. The very rich
feel its absolute necessity more than the poor
voSherwoman who saves from her scantyt earn
ngs sufficient to pay her annual taxes. But in
he midst Of paint and sorrow which affects hui
