DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
SPECIAL DANGER fN ALCOHOL
FOR WOMEN.

In addition to what has been said
upon the effect Of alcohol in lessening
se1f-control, wish to impress deeply
upon you that as alcohol is used to
wreck the young man, it is also
recognized agent i'm cooperating to-
ward the downfall of women. This
is fully recognized by those who traffic
in human degradation.
A tipping woman is always under
suspicion, and when once the appetite
is formed woman will go to great
lengths, il necessary, to obtain the
money to purchase liquor. Many a
woman dates her downfall from the
loss of self-contro1 owing to a bottle
of wine.
/ hope the practice of tipping which
has become SO common in some east
ern centers has not become prevalent
in California DIR. Lydston says: eff
the increase of tipping among women
does not indicate lowering of the
moral standard of society, the observa-
tons and deductions Of physicians and
sociologists on the effect Of alcohol
on women are fallacious."
On account of the greater emotional
development of women, alcohol is
especially dangerous. Flushed with
alcohol, women are apt to forget the
restraints of modesty. Base passions
spring into expression, the converse
ton tends to subjects which should
not be named in decent society, and
when the constraints of self-respect
break down with the moral elements
of the brain cells, indiscretions are the
natural consequence. The moral in
terests of the nation are i'm the hands
of women, and the only way by which
women can lead men straight is to be
straight themselves.

A CHAMPION OF SWEARING

Swearing has a champion. A
professor in Amherst College an
nounces that "swearing is as nee
essary as any other form Of Ian
guage.' When, for instance, you
burn your finger, it is natural, he
says, "to break out with some
swear word, some oath which has
served mankind for many ages. !"
He does not hesitate to affirm that
swearing is, and always will be,
the universal language Of man.
Even though the exact meaning of
a phrase be not known to for
eigner, still he can comprehend
the nature of an expletive through
it's force, appropriateness and in
nate expressiveness.
This will be balm to the souls
Of that large class of persons of
all ages who indulge in this "uni-
versal language" to the disgust
Of those who reverence God and
sacred Things. swearing In any
form should be reprobated by
every true man, not to say chris
tan. It is a vile habit so fright
fully common that it needs no
encouragement from any source.
Much less should any institution
of learning worthy Of the name
sanction it by tolerating on its
staff any individual whose sense
of propriety is so distorted as to
becloud his vision to the real issue
involved in the use Of such Ian,
guage no matter how much
force, appropriateness and in.
nate expressiveness" it may con.
vey from the rhetorical point OF
view. IL Amherst College wishes
to be classed among christian
schools it should advertise at once
for teacher Of English.

Surely the Michigan Hibernian
does not expect to be taken
seriously when, in a recent issue,
it makes the extraordinary decla-
ration that our Catholic societies
can engage in no more worthy
cause than in arousing the clergy
of America to the seriousness of
the condition in which our Cath
Ole boys in the cities are often
placed"
This is, assuredly, a new work
for Catholic societies. They are
to assume the role Of teachers Of
the clergy in regard to matters
that affect the welfare of Catholic
boys in the cities What do Cath
Ollie societies know about these con-
ditions that is not matter Of COM
mon knowledge to the clergy who
minister to those who live in the
cities? If the clergy are not famil-
lar with whatever affects the well
fare, temporal and spiritual, Of their
fiocks, then who can be? We are
inclined to think that if Catholic
societies, instead Of assuming a
role they were never intended to
fulfil, would rally to the support
of the clergy who are trying to
remedy many of the conditions
that operate against our boys in
the large cities, they would come
closer to the ideal, in action and
in purpose, than they will ever
come by attempting to carry out
the self-imposed task herein sci
forth as their most worthy work

THE STRONGEST DRINK.

Water is the strongest drink. 1t
drives mills; it is the drink of lions
and horses; and Samson himself never
drank anything else. Let young men
be teetotalers, if only for economy's
sake. The beer will soon build a
house. If what goes into the mash
tub went into the kneading trough,
families would be better fed and better
taught. If what is spent in waste were
saved against rainy day, poor-houses
would never be built. The man who
spents his money with the publican,
and thinks the landlords bow, and
How do you do, my good fellow"
means true respect, is a perfect sim
pleton. We don't light fires for the
behring's comfort, but to roast him.
Men do not keep pot-houses for the
laborer's good; if they do they GER
tainly miss their aim. Why, then,
should people drink "for the good of
the house?" If spend money for the
| good of the house, let it be nay own
house, and not the landlords. It is
bad well into which you must put
water; and the beerhouse is a bad
| friend, because it takes your all and
leaves you nothing but a headache.
He who calls those his friends who
let him sit and drink by the hour to-
gether, is ignorant-very ignorant.
Why, red lions, and tigers, and eagles,
and vultures are all creatures of prey,
and why do so many put themselves
within the power of their Jaws and
talons? Such as drink and live riot
ously and wonder why their faces are
so b1otched and their pockets SO bare,
would leave. off wondering if they had
two grains of wisdom. They might as
well ask an elm tree for pears as to
look to loose habits for health and
wealth. Those who 60 to the public

To remove these inconvenience the
Most Eminent Fathers of this Congre-
cation in general meeting held in the
Vatican on February z, 1911, decided
to prescribe as follows:
1. Parish priests are to be remind
ed that it is not lawful for them to
assist at marriage unless they are
legitimately convinced of the free state
OF the contracting parties, "servatis de
jure servandis." (See Decree me
temere" No. 5, par. %; and they are
to be admonished especially not to
omit to require from the contracting
parties the certificate of baptism, il
they were baptized in another parish.
2. That the prescription contained
in No. TX, par. 2 of the said Decree
may be duly observed, the announce
ment OF the. marriage, to be transmit
ted to the parish priest of the place
where the parties were baptized, Is to
contain the names and surnames of
the married pair and their parents, the
age OF the contracting parties, the day
and place Of marriage, the names and
surnames Of the witnesses to it, and
is to have the signature OF the parish
priest and the parochial SEAL The adj
dress Ii to be made accurately indi-
eating the parish diocese, town or
place OF baptism, OF the parties and
whatever IL necessary to have in writ
ing safely transmitted by the post.
3. Should it happen that In spite of
the precautions mentioned in No. /, the
parish priest OF the place where the
parties were baptized, on receiving the
announcement OF the marriage, should
recognize that one of them il already
married, he must make this known at
once to the parish priest OF the place
where the second ceremony was gone
through.
A. The Ordinaries are to provide
sedulously for the scrupulous observ-
ance OF these prescriptions, and Ii they
find that they are violated call the

WHAT OF TT?

A Critical Study of the Life of
Christopher Columbus" from the
pen of Henry Vignaud, former
Secretary Of the American En-
bassy, is about to be issued from
the press in Paris. This work has
occupied his attention for fifty
years; and in it he tells story
differing materially from that told
by Columbus, and designed to
show that, contrary to general be-
lief, the discoverer originally had
no idea Of reaching Asia by d
western route, but sailed simply
to make discoveries near land. Ac-
cording to Vignaud, it was only
when he found the western hemi-
sphere and supposed he had
reached Asia that he asserted such
had always been his object.
Whether Vignaud establishes
his contention or not, the import
ant fact remains-that we were
discovered. IL the discovery was
accidental what follows? That
Columbus will be robbed Of the
honor which historians have un-
grudgingly given him? That he
will be deprived of the glory OF
having been the first to cross an
uneharted ocean and open up 9
new world to future generations

he gathers all the prerogatives

therefore, is the reason why the
Church renders such great honor
to her.

A VITAL ISSUE.

In the course Of an address at
a meeting Of the st. Paul Minis
tiers Union Smaller Mathews, Dean
of the Theological Department Of
the University Of Chicago, de-
clared that lit would be a good
thing for the churches if there
were an infdel preacher on every
corner of the city blocks. We
could then expect results in the
big issues that are. facing the
church. !" "The infdels,' he con-
tinues. would drive the ministers
to do something. AS it is the
churches are fighting sin and to-
bacco without touching on the
vital issues that assail the
church. Is sin, then, no longer
a vital issue with the churches
It is evident that the Deans no.
ton of sin is rather hazy as he in
cludes it in the same category with
tobacco. There is a tendency
among the sects to place far more
emphasis on the necessity of alb
staining from narcotics than from
sin and Dean Mathews seems to
have forgotten his theological
training on this point Too many
Of the non-Catholic churches are
wasting their time and energy on
the non-essentials Of religion while
the vital issues are being ne
elected.
One Of the big issues that will
soon stir the church is just begin
ming to be agitated now, says
Dean Mathews, and that is
whether Jesus Christ was ever
alive Every Catholic knows
that this is not one of the big
issues at present; in fact. it is not
an issue at all. The question
was definitely settled two thous-
and years ago, and the solution
then given holds good today. II
the Dean persists in believing that
this question is only beginning to
be agitated in his day we refer
him to the history Of Christianity
and if he thinks that the question
still awaits an, adequate solution
we suggest that he go back to first
principles and read the Gospels
There is one Church which will
not be agitated by this supposedly
new issue. The Catholic Church
has always taught that Christ die
live and she has made that un
deniable fact the great centra
truth Of her teaching from the
very beginnings She and SHE
alone is authorized to give an af
frmative answer to this question
The Catholic Church alone car
prove, beyond the possibility of
doubt, that Christ was her found
err; that He, while living, laid deer
and secure against the ravages O.
time and the Vaccinations Of tn
evil one the foundations on whicl
she is built. Christ not only lived
but, through her, He lives in TIL
world today. Those who cas-
doubt on His existence, miss tn,
fundamental truth of religion. Fo
such there can be no really vita
issue.

During the days when baby is wrestling
with its first teeth the young mother seeks
aid In such contrvances as rubber rings and

them ad libitum, believing that they promote
natures efforts and assist the child during the
dentition period. Her good neighbors have
told her all about these adjuncts to teeth cut

obtained through their use The mother does
not realize that all these contrivances are
dangerous to the health and well-being of her
child often being the means Of introducing
some serious contagious or infectious disease
OF most dangerous character 1t has been
found that rubber rings pacifiers are bac-
terra carriers. being loaded with germs OF a
most virulent type. Even If cleaned and ster-
llzed, there is another reason why they should
never be used. They deform the mouth. The
dental tissues of the infant are soft and yield

olstorts the mouth and gums, frequently
sulting In what is known as mal-occlusion Of
the teeth, condition where the upper and
lower sets do not properly meet.
The sixth year molar is the most important
OF all teeth. 1t is often lost because parents
frequently think that 1t is one of the tempo

1t is cut while most OF the first set Of teeth
are In the mouth. When this tooth Is lost ma
ture makes an attempt to close the space with
the result that the entire articulation Is de-
stroyed. The space thus created between the
teeth is difficult TO keep clean, die to the food
particles being forced into There spaces Its
loss is also one of the chief causes of irregu
larities Of the other erupting teeth. II is the
belief of the entire dental profession that the
early loss OF this tooth is responsible for more
