CATHOLICS LOSE CASE
Canadian Court Declares That Protes
tant Minister May Marry Catholics

Ottawa, P. o., June 1S.-The SUI
preme court of Canada yesterday up
held a lower court decision that
marriage of two Roman Catholics by
a Protestant clergyman or a marriage
of Roman Catholicc and Protes-
tant under the same condition Is valid
in the province of Quebec. At the
same time, the court declared uncon-
stitutional the Lancaster marriage
bill, which was designed to provide
uniform marriage law In Canada
and which declared that any marriage
performed by a duly authorized per-
son was legal regardless of the faith
of the parties married or of the per-
son officiating. The introduction of
the Lancaster bill in the House of
Commons followed the agitation
which arose from the clerical disso-
luton of the Hebrit marriage when
two Roman Catholics were welded by
a Protestant minister in Quebec. The
court yesterday declared the Lancas-
ter law unconstitutional on the
ground that Parliament has no power
to act in such case without concur
rent legislation by the province OIL
provinces concerned. 1t is under
stood that the case will go for fnaI
adjudication TO the privy council in
England.

own cases, or to vote on one an.
others" Then he added:
1T is the duty of all honest mem
bers of the convention to fight that
action from the moment the conyen-
ton assemblies. II is our duty to the
rank and file of the republican party
| It is our duty TO the people of this
country. to insist that no action OF
the convention which is based on the
votes on these fraudulently seated
delegates binds the republican party
or imposes any obligation upon any
republican"
This outline of the Roosevelt cam
paign, coming from the colonel him
self, served to set at rest all doubt as
to change of program from that de
cided upon at a conference of the
Roosevelt leaders last night--"to
fight from the drop Of the hat"
The Roosevelt leaders are going to
attempt from the very start tomor
row to appeal their case to the con.
vention itself, minus the contested
delegates seated by the national com
mittee.
The Taft forces, in control of the
machinery OF the big gathering, are
going to insist that the proceeding
shall move strictly according to pre-
cedent and that each motion shall
stand the test of parliamentary prac'
tice.

Story of a Sauerkraut Factory.
ITror, arlio,, 1850

A simple Illustration of how apparent
waste may be utilized Is shown by the
story of a sauerkraut factory on Long
Island. In the manufacture of this Ger
man d~elicacy the juice is pressed out of
the c~abbages, and, as the vegetables are
about 60 per cent water or juice, the waste
was more than one-half. This Juice was
allowed to go to waste. 1t was an in
dustrial chemist who collected this Juice
and discovered that it contained much de-
composed vegetable matter. There was
an organic acid in the juice tina seemed
worth recovering, and by concentration
and filtration the acid was obtained and
refined. Today this organic acid forms
an important factor in the tanning of
skins and In all textile manufacturing. At
first thought 1t would seem as IL the
sauerkraut industry was too small to be
OF Importance In recovering such an in
significant ~by-product, but there are alone
on Long Island upward OF 20 such fac
tories, and each one uses some two $500
600 pounds of cabbages. From each fac
tory there is recovered today $4,000 gal
Ions of juice. or, in all, 100000 gallons Of
waste. Multiply these figures by 10, and
we begin to get an idea of what this fac
tory economy means. for there are SINH
lar factories around Chicago, st. Louis
and other large cities.

No STRANGERS Allowed.

Frank H. Hitchcock, the postmaster
general of the United States, takes the
deepest interest in even the smallest
details of the postal service. One eve
ming he was at the Union station in
Washington, when he decided to go
into one of the railway mail service
cars to see how the mail matter was
being handled. Being a tall man and
very athletic, he easily swung himself
from the platform into the car, but he
did not find it an easy matter to stay
put. A burly postal clerk grabbed
him by the shoulders, propelled him
toward the side door, and practi-
cally elected him to the platform be-
low.
What do you mean by that?" ask
ed Hitchcock Indignantly.
81 mean to keep you out of this
car" replied the clerk roughly. THAT
fellow Hitchcock has given us strict
orders to keep all strangers out of
these cars."-Popular Magazine.

WESTERN CANADA'S
PROSPERITY
NOT A BOOM, BUT DUE TO NAT
URAL DEVELOPMENT.

One of the largest banks in Holland
has been doing a big business in
Western Canada, and Mr.. w. Wester-
man, the President, on a recent visit
into the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta, expressed
himself as being much impressed with
present conditions and prospects, and
was convinced that the great pros
perity of the Dominion was not a
boom, but merely the outcome Of nat
ural developments.
Not only has money been invested
largely in Western Canada by the
Holland Banks, but by those of Ger
many, France, as we'll as Great Brit
ain. Not only are these countries con-
tributing money, but they are also
contributing people, hard headed, In
dustrious farmers, who are helping to
produce the two hundred million bush
els of wheat and the three hundred
million bushels of the other small
grains that the Provinces of the
West have harvested this season.
During the past fiscal year there
came into Canada from the United
States 1870; from Austria Hungary
21,651; from Belgium 1901; Holland
LOTT; France 1904; Germany 1864;
Sweden 1894; Norway 1892; and
from all countries the immigration to
Canada in that year was 354.237.
From the United States and foreign
countries the figures will be increased
during the present year.
Most of these people have gone to
the farms, and !. is no far look to the
time when the prophecy will be full

SKIN

In the care Of baby's skin and hair,
Cuticura Soap is the mothers ia.
vorite. Not only is it unrivaled in
purity and refreshing fragrance, but
Its gentle emollient properties are
usually sufficient to allay minor irri-
t%ations, remoye redness, roughness
and chatting, soothe sensitive condi-
tons, and promote skin and hair
health generally. Assisted by Cuti-
cura Ointment, it is most valuable in
the treatment of eczemas, rashes and
other itching, burning infantile erup-
tons. Cuticura Soap wears to a wafer,
often outlasting several cakes of ordi-
nary soap and making its use most
economical.
