The Proposed Sewer.

AS this line passes through a teri tory
not yet developed, it is believed that the
development will be assisted and the
property improved, especially IL a water
main is later provided
The Takoma Park authorities have
authorized a Typographical survey of
Ridge avenue between Niagara and Sara
toga avenues with a view to ascertaining
the cost of the construction Of a sewer
on this line.
Silver Spring Park is increasing in pOpu-
latiOn rapidly, and homes are steadily in
creasing In addition to providing water
and sewer facilities for the homes, d
large hotel which has been in course of
construction is now nearing completion
and will be ready for occupancy soon and
the owners are DESTROYS of securing the
proposed improvements.

Cannot Supply Water.

The TakOma Park water and sewer
committee took these matters under con-
sideration and has prepared its report.
The committee says in view of the condi-
ton of the water supply of Takoma Park
and the probable increase of demand. as
well as that of Silver Spring district, no
proposition can be made with view to
supplying the latter section with water
without endangering the sufficiency of
the supply of Takoma Park.
Relative to the sewer question. the conf
mittee recommends a change in the plan
of the sewer system Of the Silver Spring
district SO that the discharge shall be
through a new sewer line to be construct
ed by the cooperation of the Silver
Spring district and the town of Takoma
Park, along the line of Ridge avenue

PLAN TO COOPERATE
WITH SILVER SPRING
Tak0ma Park Council Commit
tee Suggests a Connect
ing Sewer.

The provision of water and sewer
facilities for Silver Spring Park, just
north of Takoma Park, Md. is a ques-
ton which is interesting the residents
and property owners of that suburb.
Several conferences have been held re-
Gently between the residents of Sill
Yer Spring Park and the authorities of
TakoIna Park. Blair Lee, state sena-
tor of Maryland, has taken an interest
in the matter and is doing everything
possible to solve the problem.
The Takoma Park officials were re-
quested, through the water and sewer
committee of the town council, to CO.
operate in the matter with the county
commissioners and the special COM
mittee of taxpayers of the village of
Silver Spring Park. Under an act
passed at the last legislature Silver
Spring Park was authorized to acquire
a water and sewer system. The viii
layers have requested the Takoma au-
thorities to inform them on what terms
they could obtain a water supply and
with an outlet for a sewer system by
connecting with the water and sewer
systems of Takoma Park.

NAGASAkI.

The annual statement of the March
of Christianity in the Diocese of Ma
gasaki, Japan, has just reached us
and is very interesting. In this Do
cese the Church counts forty-eight
thousand and nine Catholics out of
eight millions of people. The Diocese
has thirty-three European Catholic
priests and twenty-six Japanese
priests The Brothers of Mary (called
Marianist Brothers. have charge of
an apostolic school and a college.
There are three orders of Sisters, the
Sisters of the Holy Child, the Fran
ciscan Sisters, and the Sisters of St.
Paul of Chartres, who are in charge of
orphan asylums, hospitals and
schools. Within a year, 666 adults,
and 773 children of pagan parents
were baptized.

At once the old boxes, kept in a
storeroom for future use, are brought
out and filled up with a few books,
some garments, church vestments and
provisions. No box must weigh over
sixty pounds, for all are to be carried
on the shoulders of Negro porters.
The next day the caravan moves on.
Slowly it winds it's way across the
plains. The travellers camp wherever
they happen to be around 5 p. m. Fiji
teen days later they arrive at their
destination. Soon after they reach the
place they have to decide on the loca-
ton of their headquarters. They must
select a village in the centre of the
district to found their parish.
They need high ground, so that the
mission house may be seen from afar.
They must establish themselves in a
place not far from spring of water
When the location has been decided
upon, they plant the Cross and offer
fervent prayer to God for the success
of the mission.
The material building of the chapel
and of the hut for the missionary be-
gins. AS you can readily understand,
this task is far from being an easy
one. Then the spiritual building OF
the Church is to be considered, and
the missionary divides his time be-
tween directing the work of the ma
terial church and laying personally
the foundations of the spiritual one.

THE CATHOLIC PRESS AND THE
MISSION SPIRIT.

The Society for the Propagation of
the Faith thanks the Catholic press
for the space given its missionary
items in the columns of their valu-
able weeklies. They greatly help the
Cause of Missions in spreading the
knowledge of the work done by our
Catholic apostles.
Years ago our missionary work in
heather countries was unknown, even
to the most of our people. All were
aware of the existence of Protestant
Home and Foreign Mission Societies,
but very few had heard of the $50
ciety for the Propagation of the
Faith" whose aim is to support the
Catholic missionaries in the field afar.
The secular papers spoke of the
Protestant activities among the
pagans, but a Conspiracy of Silence
obtained as to our Catholic labors and
conquests in the same corners of the
world.
Now we enjoy a we'll organized
Catholic press seconding our efforts
throughout the country and promot-
ing interest in the work of our
apostles among the pagans. Thanks
to it's aid the faithful are enlightened
as to the march of the Church in for
eign lands.
The publishing of our weekly notes
results in much good. Many who
read them become interested in the
spreading of their Holy Faith, take a
membership in the Society" offer
daily prayers for the evangelization
of the pagans and send their aims to
assist the missionaries.
These aims come to us from every
Diocese. The poor show marvellous
spirit of charity, for they often de-
prive themselves to help the Cause of
Propagating the Faith
We attribute the increasing interest
in the Society for the Propagation of
the Faith to the courtesy and zeal
displayed in our behalf by the Catho-
lie press of the country. 1t could
have ignored our society under the
pretext of lack of space, since it was
already crowded by relations of in
teresting religious happenings and
movements of home and abroad. But
far from sitting our voice, it gave us
it's kind support, and not satisfied
with displaying our items, it COM
mended our society and heralded the
Cause of Missions in editorials.
We certainly have reason to be
thankful. The Church Universal has
reason to be proud of our Catholic
press in this country. Indeed, it is
second only to the Catholic clergy in
it's zeal for fostering the spirit of mis-
sion and pointing to the needs of the
newly born Church in far off lands.
We are grateful to the Catholic
press for it's most valuable co-opera-
ton and thank it in the name of our
society, and above all in the name of
the thousands of missionaries it ben
efits and the millions of souls to whom
it helps to carry the Gospel of Our
Divine Lord.

A MISSIONARY OF 7KwANe-ToNe.

MY work has advanced a few
steps," says Father Charles Rey of
Pingyunyun, thanks to the resour-
ces that were placed at my disposal
during the year, though, did not
accomplish as much as I expected. If
Divine Providence sees fir to direct
some more donations to me I hope
to place my district on a good foot,
ing before the end of next year
Then could sing my "Nunc Dimit,
tis." I will have spent my life in
founding this new mission. Truly
the work of God goes slower than the
work of man."

AND BEAR HIGH PRICES
dealers announced today that
brands which sold for 10 cents
will be II cents next week.
Everything in the food line is
higher than ever before, and
everything is going higher. One
dollar will buy less in the market
today than 90 cents would a few
years ago"
IF the packers are in no way
responsible for the high prices
how is it that American beef
which sells at % cents a pound
here sells for 1917 cents in Lon
don?' the packer was asked.
Il don't believe it." was all he
would say.
The Day Book told last week
how American beef was selling 40
per cent cheaper in London than
in Chicago. The Day Book also
told why. The American beef
trust has to compete with beef
from Argentina and Australia
over there. 1t hasn't here.
"There is only one thing to it,
the packer went on. Prices are
going up. They'll keep on going
up all winter unless unexpected
supplies come into the country.
The American supply of meat
is short. The protective tariff of
-$12 a carcass on all imported
cattle prevents Argentina, Can
ada, Mexico and Australia from
sending to this country"
.'Then if the tariff were lifted

!, TO GRIN AND BEAR HIGH PRICES

I The price of meat is going up,
and don't see anything the
American people can do about it
except grin and bear it"
This was the fiat declaration of
oone of the heads of Swift & Co.
to a Day Book reporter today.
This packer would not talk at
all until The Day Book promis-
led not to use his name. But what
che said when the promise was
given was a-plenty.
z He handed out the usual line of
bunk about the packers not being
yto blame, and about that wonder
full thing the law of supply and
0demand first. Then he got down
Ito cases.
z "Sirloin cuts are selling at %
cents a pound with the trimmings
this morning" he said. When
.the bone, rind and fat are cut
away, that brings the price really
eto about 30 cents a pound.
Is Before this winter is over, beef
probably will be costing 80 cents
"a pound with the trimmings. All
bother meats and butter and eggs
will go up proportionately.
2 "The cheapest meat you can
buy today are "chucks' at II to
ga cents a pound, and lamb shout
0ders at 121z to 141z cents. The
supply of this meat is limited.
The next cheapest are from 10 to
% cents pound.
"Porterhouse steaks, sirloiHs,
veal, lamb chops and pork chops
1have gone from p to Is. cents
ia pound, and they haven't stopped
