The anti tuberculosis movement is
financed by the proceeds Of the sale Of
Christmas Seals. Have you added your
mite?
To buy Christmas Seal is to cast a
ballot in favor of wiping consumption
out Of Wisconsin.
I'm broad way, no greater work
has been done for the state than that Of
the Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis AssO-
citation Senator LeFollette.
Consumption hits everyone. It is
everyone's duty to hit consumption. Do
your share by buying Red Cross Christ

Pasteur'S Revenue.

In vallery-Radot' Life of Pasteur'
we read the story of his misery. 1t is
nothing to say that the war nearly
broke his heart But it broke neither
his faith nor the straight line of his
work. Only a sort Of rage possessed
him to redeem and console France by
working for her. "Henceforth," he
said, every one of my books shall
have written on it these words, Re.
venge revenge, revenge" And this
was his revenge, to set the name Of
France in the honors list Of science
higher than ever, to give the rest of
his life to her service and to wear him
self out for her sake.

How to Avoid Having Packages q
AStray in Mails or Express.

Lots of Christmas Packages are lost
because people do not observe few
simple rules that will make delivery
certain. The following rules are good.
Rule Wrap you packages in good
heavy paper, tying with stout Irvine.
Rule 2-Mark plainly with address
of consignee, street number and desti
nation, and in addition to this put a
card on the inside Of the package bear
ing the name and address of the con
signee 1t often happens that addresses
get torn from packages in transit, and
if there is a mark on the inside of pack
age, it can be rewrapped and forward
ed to destination.
Rule Start your packages early
The experience of previous years teaches
that packages sent late are not liable
to reach their destination on time. Long
distance packages should be sent as
early as possible. The express agents
all have a liberal supply of Don't Open
Until Christmas" labels, which they
will furnish free Of charge.
Rule don't send money or jewelry
in packages with other goods. They
should go in separate sealed packages.
A generous observance of these rules
will not only get your gifts TO their des-
tination on time, but will induce YOU
to do your holiday shopping earlier,
and that will be a God send to the
clerks and owners of the stores.

Lighting the Christmas Tree.

Nothing is more beautiful and awe
inspiring to youth than a brilliantly
lighted Christmas tree. OF truth such
a tree, burdened with presents, is almost
as enjoyable to the old folks. But
candles are dangerous and especially so
when hung at random on the resinous
branches of a spruce or balsam tree.
These trees are very infiammable and

than one happy Christmas eve has
ended in a minute when the pretty
tree went up in a cracking blaze, de-
stroying all the valuable presents and
all but burning the house to the ground.
Sometimes the house does burn.
To avoid this danger miniature electric
lamps are now used to light the Christ

Plenty of room for the running sores

But she's more than blind if she fails

American Women.

II paul. Mimi. Jan. 27.-Archbishop
Inn ireland today issued a statement
an the high price of meat and the BOY
colt i'm which he roundly scored the
dreadful waste and extravaganza re
shifting from American women's lgno-
rance of housekeeping, and especially
The almost totally neglected art OF
cooking" and declared that "a social
and economic revolution would IN a
short time be brought out in America
if voung women were thoroughly taught
on both these subjects.
THAT the price of meat, he says, as
q result of the agitation and boycott
yyiB for some time fluctuate, today
downward. tomorrow upward, we may
readily admit; but that meat will fail
back permanently to the low prices Of
former years [ am not disposed TO be-
leve."
The Archbishop also discusses
changed conditions in the production OF
meat in America, the passing OF the
big ranches and the increase in the cost
az feeding on small farms, and says
that the chief cause of the rise IN
prices lies with the producer, the farm

Ireland declares, and says the require

2s.zoe Converts DURING 1eos.

The mission work for non-Catholics
is beginning to bear fruit in a marvel
Gus way. The satisticians at the Apos-
tolic Mission House have been gather
ing. during the past few weeks, some
accurate figures of converts who have
been received into the church in this
country, and an official report Of the
result of their work was made at the
congress. The announcement was a
source of very great qualification to the
assembled missionaries. They find that
during the year 1908 there were 2S,7Os
converts of record. These figures were
received from the report of chancery Of
fiona- and a few returns are missing.
Yet. with these exceptions, this figure,
%, 7Os, represents the aggregate of adult
baptisms in all the dioceses Of this
country.
esting. In 1906, in preparation for the
congress of that year, there were found
to be 25,055 converts. Two years later
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1910-02-12

the number had grown to 2S,709, or 1874
more. In 1906 it was difficult to get
at exact figures, for in many chancery
offices no note was taken of converts
at all. In some dioceses they were a
negligible quantity. Since that congress
of 1908 the idea has so grown that with
very little difficulty accurate results
have been secured. In compiling the
returns the impression has grown that
quite percentage of converts are never
recorded.
None of the converts who have been
validity baptized as Professionals and,
therefore, received into the church on
simple profession of faith are included
in this list, and, moreover, a percentage
of adults baptized on their reception
into the church are not recorded, for
some reason or another. Probably 10
per cent would cover these caIeg cries.
Adding this to the actual figure of rec
ord, it would run the aggregate to 1850.
However, to be conservative, we shall
accept as a stereotyped figure for con-
vert making in the United States in one
year 2S,709; and we feel that we are
well within the mark. The figures
ishing quantity in some places.
It is noteworthy that in the dioceses
where apostolate bands are established
the numbers rise above the average
as, for example, New York, LAZY con-
verts; Cleveland, 1877; Mobile, 4SS.
In New England convert making is
very much below the mark. There were
only 1772 converts in population Of

Some Freaks of Cyclones.

cyclones are not what they used to
be in the old days" complained Col
A. M. Hughes Of Columbia, Tenn, while
talking in Washington of the recent
storm that swept his home state.
The cyclone which devastated parts
of Tennessee a couple of weeks ago
killed a large number of persons; just
how many probably never will be
known. But I haven't heard of any
freaks perpetrated by the storm
Houses were blown down and people
were crushed to death, but the storm
seemed to spare nothing in its path.
Ten years ago when the town of
Columbia was visited by. the cyclone
which tore up a large part of that
section Of the state, about sixteen lives
were lost in and about the town. After
the Storm had subsidized reports of
its peculiar antics began to come in.
On a nearby farm a house which had
been constructed in a more than usu-
ally substantial manner was absolutely
twisted and ground to pieces. The
bricks were hammered apart and the
timbers Were twisted into kindling
wood. Yet within 100 yards a flimsy
house was left untouched. A man of
any strength at all could have pushed
it over with his shoulder
On another farm large tree was
found transfixed by a beam carried
from a house.
THE timber had been shot through
the tree as neatly as an arrow through
a tin target. Why the beam was not
shattered to splinters by the terrible
impact no one could tell. But the per-
forated tree with the captive timber
stood there to prove the story.
f'The entrance of the government ar
5enal at Columbia was guarded by an
immense stone pillar on either side. The
storm confined its attention to these
pillars. They were literally torn from
the ground and broken to pieces.
Cyclones of these days just go around
killing people without doing single in
