EXPRESS COMPANIES POSITIVE
IIINDRANCE TO BUSINESS
ARD ZONE PARCELS POST
-4a.5r SOLVE PROBLEM,
C.ls~S SUBCOMMITTEE.
@HE subcommittee On postoffice
aIG, post roads met today and
took up for consideration the
Lewis bill. which provides for
condemnation and purchasing the ex-
press companies and adding them
to the postal system, and establish
ing complete system for quick
transportation of packages and the
catable products Of the farm and
truck garden, etc. At their last con-
ference in Washington the repre-
se2tatives of the business men Of the
country and Of the farmer oranges
asked congress to estab such
system, and representatives Of these
interests were present at the hearing
before the committee today.
'SThere are two main reasons why
the express companies must be added
to the postal system, said Mr.. Lewis
in his argument. First, the express
company service does not reach be-
yond the railways to the country or
the farmers, which the postOf1ce
does, through the rural free delivery,
which is waiting with empty wagons
to receive the express packages and
take them to the country stores and
the farmers, and carry back to the
towns and the cities the product of
the farms and truck gardens for the
people to eat, at living prices. Sec
Ond, the contracts Of the express COM
panies with the railways give them
an average transportation rate Of
three-quarters Of a cent pound; and
with this rate the express charges by
post would be reduced from two
thirds to one-half on parcels ranging
from 5 to 10 pounds, and about %
per cent on heavier weights, as a con-
sequence Of the co-ordinary of the
express company plants with the
postoffice and rural delivery, and the
elimination Of the express company
profits, which are averaging over SO
per cent On the investment.
"The express companies are posi-
tive hindrances and obstacles to the
business of the country. The aver
age charge for carrying a ton of ex-
press in Argentina is $6.51, and for
the countries Of Europe $4.12, while
the average express company charge
in the United States is $31.20. They
charge times as much to carry a
ton of express as ton or freight in
other countries. Here the express
companies charge Is times as much.
Of course, these charges simply
prohibit by half or more Of the traf-
fic in the United States. Our average
is less than one hundred pounds per
capita, while that Of the other coun-
tries is over two hundred pounds
per capita, although we have far
greater demand for quick transport

The runs and chicken yards should
be plowed at least one. or twice a
year. This will keep the ground
sanitary and give the fowls a chance
to scratch for better living.

The food that fowls get, has much
to do with your success as a poultry
raiser. See that they have plenty
nutritious food and that it is clean
and wholesome
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-06-29

Do not feed chickens 100 much. It
is an easy matter to give them too
much rich food and this causes bowel
disorder. Give the fowls just what
they will consume in Is minutes and
no more.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. THOMAS AQUlNAs.

ST. Thomas was born of noble par
ents at Aquino in Italy, in the year
1926. At the age of nineteen he re-
ceived the Dominican habit at Naples,
where he was studying. Seized by
his brothers on his way to Paris, he
was held captive for two years in their
castle at Rocca-Secca; but neither the
caresses of his mothers and sisters nor
the threats and stratagems of his
brothers could shake him in his voca-
ton. While st. Thomas was in con.
finement at Rocca-Secca, his brothers
endeavored to entrap him into sin, but
the attempt only ended in the triumph
of his purity. Snatching from the
hearth burning brand, the Saint
drove from his chamber the wretched
creature whom they had there con.
cealed. Then making a cross upon the
wall, he knelt down to pray, and forth
with, being rapt in ecstasy, an angel
girded him with cord, in token of the
gift of perpetual chastity which God
had given him. The pain caused by
the girdle was so sharp that ST.
Thomas uttered piercing cry, which
brought his guards into the room
But he never told this grace to any
one save only to F. Raynald, his con
lessor, little while before his death
Having at length escaped, he went
to Cologne to study under Blessed AL
bert the Great, and after that to Paris
where he taught Philosophy and The
ology for many years. The Church has
ever held his numerous writings in the
highest esteem as a treasure-house oil
sacred doctrine; while in naming him
the Angelic Doctor she has indicated
that his science is more divine thar
human. In him the rarest gifts of in
telIect were combined with the tender
est .piety. Prayer, he said, had taught
him more than study. His singular
devotion to the Blessed Sacrament
shines forth in the Office and hymns
for Corpus Christi which he composed
To the words miraculously uttered by
a crucifx at Naples, We'll hast thor
written concerning Me, Thomas; what
shall I give thee as reward?' he re
piled, sNought save Thyself, O Lord.
He died at Fossa-Nuova, in 1874, or
his way to the General Council Of
Lyons, to which Pope Gregory K haG
summoned him.

lD0CTRINAE. SsesRS IITURGlCAL.A


In true Catholic spirit, then, let us
enter on the holy season Of Lent. Let
the lesson of the ashes placed on our
brow on Ash Wednesday be impressed
on our hearts. If we cannot observe
a rigid fast or even abstinence through
out, but avail ourselves of the dispen-
sations granted by Mother Church to
those of her children who by reason of
health or work have right to them,
let us at least make up for it by some
special act of modification or devo-
ton For modification for men it
might be the giving up of all intoxicat-
ing drinks in honor of the Sacred
Thirst, or foregoing the use of tobacco;
for women, the eating of sweets and
dainties. For devotion, for both men
and women, the best practice would
be attendance at weekday mass, the
special Lenten services of their church,
the stations of the cross, visit to the
Blessed Sacrament, the recitation or
the beads or some other suitable
prayers. Lent thus spent would in
deed be profitable, and a worthy prep
aration for joyful Easter and the
Paschal communion.
So a good Lent means good life
for another year at least, for this is it's
purpose, to bring about better life for
everyone 1t is time of reflection
and resolution, but, above all, it is a
season of grace and strength and bless
| ing which, if corresponded with, re-
news spiritual life within us, and
makes us burn with the love of God
and the desire to live for Him alone in
| the exercise of our faculties and pow
ers. On all sides we see in Lent most
edifying examples given us by every
grade of society The tender maiden,
| the strong mechanic, the ordinary la
borer, the banker, the physician, the
lawyer the high-born lady, the steady
housewife, the servant maid, the teach
er, all are represented by numbers
more or less Of their class piously pass
ing the Lenten season through the
keeping of it's fast and observance of
its public devotions and exercises. 1t
is most consoling sight to the clergy
and many God bless YOU is envoked
by them on the good, holy people by
their fathers in Christ Let Lent al
ways mark an era in the santification
of ALL

HUMAN RESPECT.

BY human respect is meant the fear
of displeasing the wicked, the fear of
being ridiculed and laughed at, of be-
ing despised and disliked in our en-
deavor to serve God faithfully and to
save our soul 1t is an act of cow
ardice, which prompts the person who
allows it to get the better of him, to
of losing his own soul, rather than
incur the chance of being scoffed at
| by those who are the enemies of God,
or of being pointed at as being sim
gular and narrow-minded, because he
| does not think, speak and act as they
do.
| Our Blessed Lord has said HE
that is not with Me is against Me;
and he that gathereth not with Me,
scattereth." Uuke XII, 49, Our
Divine Master wishes us to under
stand from these words that he who
has not the will and the courage to
declare himself openly as His disciple
| is not worthy to be called disciple,
and that he will be looked upon as an
enemy rather than as friend
If we examine our lives we shall
see how often human respect has been
the cause of our offending Almighty
God. We have but to look around us
in this world and we shall see how
much the devil makes use of human
respect to induce people to commit sin
and to neglect the good which they
ought to perform.
In addition to avoiding sin, we must
also perform good works in order that
we may acquire merit during our
short stay in this world We must
therefore, be careful to avoid these
obstacles which may make us careless
in the performance of this duty. HUI.
man respect is one of these obstacles
There are those, perhaps, who will
stay away from Mass on Sunday be
cause they think that others may pass
remarks upon their clothes, although
these clothes are such that are deemed
quite good enough to go to places oil
amusement and so on. They are
afraid of their neighbors' remarks, and
~ Oue VI AuAAoA AOoPCOI IhOJ WILL stay
away from Holy Mass. Others who
have ample time on their hands will
not go to Mass on weekdays for fear
of being pointed at as would-be saints
i Others again are afraid of kneeline
down to say their prayers or to say
their grace before and after meals
when in company of those who make
i light of such things. We even come
across some who, when they accom-
pany those who are not of their faith
to Catholic church, are almost timiG
to genuffect and give due reverence
to Our Divine Lord in the Blessed
Sacrament
Let us then renounce all human
respect. Let us serve and love Goo
fearlessly, In spite of what the worl6
may say or think of us. And il WI
have to suffer something sometimes
in order to do what is right, let Vi
esteem ourselves happy remembering
the words of Holy Writ: 'The jus

/. ward is with the Lord and the car,

DOCTOR PRESCRlBES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

II wish to let you know of couple
u recent cures which / have made
oy the use of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, Mr.. of this city
came to my office, troubled with
severe skin eruption. 1t was dermatitis
in its worst form. 1t started with a
slight eruption and would affect most
parts of his body, thighs, elbows,
chest, back and abdomen-and would
terminate in little pustules. The itch
ng and burning was dreadful and no
would almost tear his skin apart, try
ing to get relief. / recommended all
The various treatments / could think
Of and he spent about fifteen dollars
On prescriptions, but nothing seemed
TO help him.
'In the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them fair trial.
But as / did not know much about
Cuticura at that time l was doubtful
whether 1t would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers, wrists and
arms ] could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths of Cuticura
Soap and applications Of Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improve
ment and in few days she was COM
pletely cured.
II lost no time in recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. -,
and this was two months ago. / told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment generously Believe
me, from the very first days use of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use. have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them now that I am convinced of
their wonderful merits" (Signed) B.
