Holy Father Interested In Van

Rome.-Cardinal v%annutelli, who
represented the pope at the uchar
tic congress In Montreal, Is bach again,
and he has delighted him with his re-
ports about the United States. The
venerable head of the Roman Catholic
church probably knows more about the

Of exalted rank In Europe. He was eS-

the fact that the pope is a great lover
of healthy outdoor sports, and that
when a boy and d youth, too, he ex-
celled as a runner and q swimmer. A
story that pleased the pontiff i'm
mensely was told of the altar boys of
st. Francis Xavier's church in Brook
Ign, N. Y. The youngsters, who are
a numerous body. have two football
teams, a baseball team and other
kinds of athletic clubs. While the car
dinal was visiting a Long Island sum
mer resort, close by former President
Roosevelt's home, he was visited by q
delegation Of the boys who announced
that they had elected him protector
of their club, which position is, Of
course, purely honorary. He told the
pope that he had promised the lads
that he would tell him about what
they were doing to build themselves up
by field sports, The pope listened with
much interest to the narrative about
the youngsters, and said he wished
he boys of this country would follow
their example.
Pope Plus Is a lover of clean athletic
sports Of all kinds There are many
athletic organizations composed of
Catholic young men in this city. On
one occasion, about a ear ago, 1000 of
the members joined in a tournament.
Just before the journey began the
holy father delegated one of his house,
hold clergy to tell the young men that
they had his blessing. One of his pho
tographers photographed the array as
they were drawn up On the field, and
he has a copy of the picture among his
personal possessions.
Every now and again permission Is
given some of the Catholic football
players to play In the papal grounds.
And whenever this happens, the pope
goes to a quiet corner out of range to
see them at the game. He has been
known to show the enthusiasm by hard
clapping a good play. One of the con-
dftions upon which he gives leave for

we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cutioura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was we'll. She Ia

Rather misleading is the Scotch

The German and Latin people spell

Barbe. The German pet names, Bar
