almozoin cream-jelly is unfailing in
protecting the skin from freckles, tan

A. G. B.: Dieting is cruel method

firm and the skin free from wrinkles.
Mrs. A. D.: Don't experiment with

may streak the hair. If your scalp is
lifeless and scaly, you should shampoo

Moral Education.

by e. 1OylG.J
Make the house where God may
dwell, beautiful, entire and clean
Yes, build your ship strong, fit it out
with the most complete and costly
machinery, but II you forget the
helm, what will be its fate? Will it
not be dashed to pieces on life's
ocean?
So it is with education, If morality
Is dispensed with--if the formation
of the character is neglected. The
moral muscle must be developed by
use in the same manner, az the ath-
lete trains the physical.
Moral education aims to show the
young honesty. in everything from a
game to a business transaction. EN-
erson says, Men of character and
women of principle are the conscience
of society," They are as it were, the
electric lights of the moral world.
shedding a calm radiance in every
direction; they are the motive powers
that should actuate the intellectual
| life of their fellow men.
Youth is the time to plant the
seed OF virtuous habits, and to cul.
tivate those qualities which must
ever characterize the christian man
and woman.
With great truth has the poet said,
Take care in youth to form ,ne
heart and mind For as the twig is
bent the tree is inclined" Virtue
and learning go hand in hand; they
are the great luminaries that enlight-
en- the souls of men.
/ When our legislators will be brought
to understand that morality is the
cornerstone of the state, then only.
will the Catholic system of education
meet the approval of those outside
| her fold
After all the problem of moral edu.
cation is Life and therefore the
true teacher pushes out beyond the
realm of books into the light of liv.
ing, and prepares the youth for clean
strong, healthy action, in the same
manner as the hand OF the pilot is
always on the wheel, to direct the
course of the ship.

Who holds the ocean in His hand and

They gave him not one corner In that

The mighty ship met silent craft,
one built by the hand of God, and as
one of our Catholic papers expresses
it--"without captain. without a
crew, without a passenger, silent
white moving lazily along" And after
the impact what happens? The work
of man reels, staggers, breaks land
the other-moves silently on; there
was no change on the face OF the
deep.
Go back to another ship nearly
nineteen centuries ago--a frail fish,
ing craft on the Lake OF Galilee;
manned by poor illiterate fishermen,
Its compass the stars OF heaven, its
music the deep voices OF the men as
they call to one another, It's luxury
the fish which they drag in their
nets from the briny deep--but In that
ship is the greatest treasure Of earth,
for the Saviour sleeps In the stern.
A furious storm sweeps over the sea,
but the frail boat rides safely on
tor peace he still echoes from the
Masters lips.
Classmates, which of these two YES.

sweet, riches desirable, all would be
numbered with the strong, but let us
keep Jesus in our vessel; we are
Catholics, we have received Catho

We know what master laid his keel
What workmen wrought thy ribs oil

Who made each mast, and sail, and
rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers

Were shaped the anchors of thy
hope"
The burden OF gratitude Is carried
by few gracefully, but IL there was

The question of the present age is
how shall we build ships to make
them conquer distance and time in
traversing the painless waters OF the
deep. And the answer comes in
many forms.
Build me staunch and strong; this
is the first requisite, shape Of steel
and iron fit to wrestle with wind and
wave. In like manner must be built
the outward semblance of the human
vessel, which is to contend with the
storms Of life.
Everybody admires vigorous health;
1t makes us feel like conquerors,
while It laughs at obstacles, before
which weak men hesitate and trem-
BILE; It renders bare existence JOY

ulty for enjoyment.
The same holds good for nation

of the Revolution depended upon the
educators or on the press, we would
not have had free country today;

would have been Of no avail, had not
Washington and his army enforced 1t

FLAG DAY ON
LAST FRIDAY
Old Glory FIoated IL the Breeze Frprn
Keokuk Homes and All Over
the Land

Just 135 years ago Friday, the dex-
ferrous fingers of Betsy Ross, of Phila-
delphia, gave to the world the great
American flag, to wave over the then
thirteen colonies who were destined
later to become the bone and sinew
of the greatest nation on earth. And
that is why Old Glory floated from
private home, business building and
other conspicuous places in all por-
lions of the United States.
While most American people know
that there was birth of an American
flag, and know that it came about
rather peculiarly, not many know the
exact conditions under which it was
produced On June IA, 1777, George
had formed an idea for
a flag for the thirteen colonies. He
went to Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia
seamstress on that date and told her
to make flag after the design he
presented to her. After she had sug-
gested some changes in the arrange.
ment of the stars on the blue field,
the flag was produced to Washing
toms satisfaction. In recent years
patriotic organizations have been per-
fecting plans to pay homage to the
American flag and this is the date set
for the observance.
In observing Flag day the custom is
to fly the flag at full mast from all
public buildings, while patriotic So
cieties have taken up the movement
to have the day declared q legal holt
day, and in some states their efforts
have been rewarded with success.
Keokuk has shown an interest in
the day, and. Friday numerous flags
were to be seen floating over the city

hands Of the little tots. There were
enough gum animals formed to estab-
lish a menagerie and some of them
were very creditable models. Some
of their monkeys were very cute. 1t
had been some time since they had
held meeting before and their bright
faces showed the pleasure the event
afforded.
