THOMAS E. COOTEY
Well Known Business Man Passes
Away at st. Mary's Hospital.

On Wednesday afternoon at st.

passed away after an illness of about
seven weeks. Complications resulting
from an operation caused his death.

apolis club, the Elks club, the knights
of Columbus, the Commercial club and
the United Commercial Travellers. He
was the first grand knight Of Henne-
pin council, knights of Columbus, and
was a popular and active member OF
that great organization. Mr.. Cootey
was member, too, of the pro-cathed-
raj building committee where his
services were of a most valuable ma
ture. The Catholic Orphan asylum
owes many Of it's comforts and con-
veniences to the generosity and good
will of the deceased and his death
will take away one of the best friends
the children in the home have ever
had. Mr.. Cootey had no children and
is survived by his wife and brother,

LEPR0SY
Cure Is on the Way-Brother Joseph
Dutton, the Leper's Friend.

Dutton, the Leper's Friend.
1.-The cure Of leprosy is on the way"
writes Brother Joseph Button, success
sor Of Father Damien at Molokai, tho
Ieper settlement of the Hawaiian
Islands.
Dr. Donald II. Curre. DR.. Walter r.
Brinkerhoff and Dr. II. II. Holman,
three surgeons in charge of the Lcpro-
sarlum, have succeeded In isoluting
the bacillus OF leprosy and in grow
ing cultures of it outside the human
body.
In their laboratories they arc show
ing thriving colonies of these germs
in glass tubes, some of the growths
having reached the third generation.
The wonderful thing that has been
done by these United States surgeons
lies In their demonstration OF the fact
that the germs can be artificinlIy re-
produced; for this is looked upon by
psychologists the world over as the
next step toward finding a. cure for
this disease that has been the scourge
of nations for centuries.
Brother Joseph Dutton is a convert
to the Church. In q recent private
letter he discussed the various mo-
tives that draw men to the Church,
and tells us that he, who had been an
officer in the quartermaster's depart
ment Of the regular army, was attract

study of the pcnitcntial system of the
early Church, says the Missionary.

SCANDlNAVIAN
BAPTISTS GROW

Sioux Falls, S. D.-'The annual
meeting of the Scandinavian Baptist
conference of South Dakota has con-
cluded its sessions at Viborg, south
of Sioux Falls. The attendance was
the greatest in the history of the con-
ference. When the conference was
organized in December. 1874, there
were only four Swedish and Danish
churches in the entire state, with
only a handful of members, and their
cash assets consisted of the sum of
$5.32. which was invested in hymn
books. Today the conference con-
sists of twenty-three churches, of
which eleven are Swedish, nine Dam
ish and three Norwegian, with total
membership of 1919. During these
years the organization has expended
for the work of spreading the gospel
almost $250,0O0.
For some time 1t has been felt
that more effective work could be
done il the conference was divided
and at the meeting just held a divi-
sion was decided upon. to become
effective October / next, when the
conference will be divided into two
parts-the Danish and Norwegian
churches in one conference and the
Swedish churches in the other.
