Perfect Health is Almost
Impossible
CITY LIFE IS RESPONSIBLE
Human Machine VIII Not Run True
and Strong, Day after Day, Under
Constant Strain.

In a recent interview one of the
physicians who are introducing the re-
markable new tonic "Tona Vita" to
the American public, had this to say.
The manner of living in the larger
cities of the United States is such
that perfect health is almost impos-
sible; the human machine will not run
true and strong day after day with
its vitality continually being Slapped
by the constant nervous strain Ir-
regular hours, hastily eaten food, the
wear and tear and rush of city life
are largely responsible for the inn
mense amount of dull, listless, half
sick people of the present generation.
Debility or a run down condition as
it is called, is everywhere. Half the
people | see in street cars, restaurants,
theatres, or on the street, are unmis-
takably in debilitated condition, with
their nerves in such state that they
either wish to lie down and rest or
rush after some excitement.
ANY one who has met a constant
stream of nervous debilitated people
as | have since | began my present
work, can tell man or woman in this
condition at q glance. | wish to en-
phatically state that the number OF
debiltated people in the larger Amcri-
can cities is appalling.
'Tona Vita the medicine am help
ing to introduce. is to combat this con-
dition. I believe it to be the best pre-
paration ever before sold to the public,
in that it is Immediately effective in
cases of debility and other troubles
that go hand in hand with this dis
ease"
You can not hope to enjoy life or
meet with much success if you are
tired all the time, have little ambition,
and feel continually depressed in mind
and body. Every half-sick, WORKOUT
man or woman, owes it to themselves
and their family, to try 'Tona Vita If
the tonic does not make life more
worth living, and brings back the
healthy, energetic spirit, that is now
lacking, the price is refunded. Frank
w. buchanan has the agency for 'Tona
Vita in Skowhegan; also for Lees
Rhubarb Laxative, the purest and best
family laxative on the market. Lees
Rhubarb Laxative will not injure the
most delicate constitution. 1t is ideal

The Lewiston Journal some time
ago published an article telling of the
romantic life of one Lucic Leger, a
young lady who had been stolen from
her home by rowing circus crew
when very young. She was living in
Lewiston at the time the article was
printed but the publicity which was
given the affair by French papers
found the girls parents for her in a
small Canadian town. She started
for her old home and people pictured
the beautiful reunion after many
years in their Imagination. 1t was a
happy reunion but the girls parents
were practically strangers to her She
knew the people in Lewiston with
whom she had been living better and
she returned to Lewiston a short
time ago. Her return was marked by
a jolly party at the home on Pierce
street.

WORKS OF A GREAT SOCIETY

Every street leading to st. Martins
church. Shelby and Gray streets, pre-
sented an animated scene as early as
Z o'clock Sunday morning, as hun
dreds Of men arrived from all sections
of the city to attend the general COM
munion and mass of the st. Vincent
de Paul Society of Louisville. The
various conferences formed in the
school hall and on Gray street and as
the great throng entered the spacious
edifice the spectacle was indeed edi-
flying. The Vincentians were met by
the pastor, Rev. Father Ollie, who had
reserved the center and side aisles
for them. AS they entered the church
the organ pealed forth its strains and
the sanctuary was a bower of artistic
beauty with its myriad of electric
lights and floral decomtions.
Rev. Father Bohlsen was the ce-
lebrant of the high mass, and follow
ing the gospel NE preached a short
but powerful sermon. "He that show
blessed" was the text of his discourse,
in which he plainly demonstrated that
Christianity has been the best bene-
factor of the poor. Father Bohlsen
pointed to the undeniable fact that
charity has always been fostered by
the Catholic church, which has in all
ages and everywhere maintained hos
pitfalls, homes and refugees for the sick,
the poor, the orphan and those with

life of St. Vincent de Paul and his
grand work, pointing to his sacrifices
and sufferings and his love for man
kind, setting an example that true
Vincentians should follow. 1t was
their duty, he said, to visit the needy,
the neglected, the sick and the poor,
and thus gain for themselves the
blessings promised.
The attendance at the general
meeting at the Knights of Columbus
Hall in the afternoon was not as large
as at the church services in the morn
ing. This was due to the heavy rains
that fell and kept many in their
homes. But for those present the
meeting was full of interest and the
of Rev. Father Eugene Dom
ahue, of the Cathedral, and Rev.
Louis Deepen were highly appreciated
and served to encourage their hear
ers. \President John ]. Caffrey was
absent from the city, and AL Smith, of
the Cathedral Conference, occupied

tations made was submitted by each
Prominent among the
special works was the reports of those
who visited the School of Reform, the
all. the hospitals and other institu-
ions.
Father Donaghue congratulated the
ociety on the excellent turnout at
II. Martins but regretted that so
many were absent and therefore un-
bile to gain the indulgence on this |
occasion. Father Deppen's words |
made deep impression. He said the
L. Vincent de Paul Society was yet in
IS infancy. and predicted that the
eople twenty years hence. will thus
box back upon the present. Before ad-
burning twenty more men were en-
oiled.

SCORES THE GUARDIANS.

The non-Catholic Independent
shows up the Guardians of Liber-
ty." That this society is opposed to
Catholics is apparent. THE name Of
It," says the Independent, indicates
its purpose; but what is the danger
to liberty which It will fight? II is
perfectly clear that this organization
is directed against what It regards
as the one danger to America lib
erty, namely, the Roman Catholic
church That is the only body
which is popularity charged with own
ing superior temporal allegiance to
any power above that due to his
country; the only one said to be OPP
posed to complete separation Of
church and State; the only one said
to menace our undenominational
public school system and to be seek
ing the support of public funds for
ecclesiastical purposes. The Catho-
lie press has Immediately recognized
this new society as directed against
IT'S church and as a new form of the
Know-Nothings and the A. P. A.,
and such it evidently is"
It then quotes the official circular
of the Guardians and adds: "If this
is not a revival of Know-Nothingism
then our memory of Know-Nothing-
ism is greatly at fault. The purpose
Of that organization, which swept
the country in the SOS, was to at
tack the Catholic church and to ex-
clude its members from political
office. This new organization has
this Section Ia in its Declaration Of
Principles: 1T shall be the duty of
all members to support candidates
for political office who are good
and true men, earnest patriots and
loyal to the principles of the order
That can mean nothing else than
Never vote for a Catholic. The
statement issued proceeds further at
length to attack the Catholic church.
II tells us that the Roman hier-
archy is a political machine
casting its influence in favor of those
who are willing to serve, not the best
interests Of their country, but of the
Catholic Church; and it declares:
-<nnuunnuEpecrauer the choice
of judges, Congressman and many |
high public officials in State and ma
ton, Rome is now engaged in at
tempting "a far weightier task-to
dictate the choice of Chief Magis-
trate to preside over the destinies of
100, 00O,OO Americans. We hold
that such an organization is
menace to our political peace. 1t
greatly magnifies the danger it sees.
It is prescriptive and un-American.
The former political anti-Catholic or
CARNATIONS had a brief and dishon-
orable history and passed away Prot
estantism and liberty do not need
such defenders. We want to live in
the fullest harmony with our Catho-
lie fellow citizens, and we shall find
them earnest patriots. lovers of the
liberty"

was only one member on the sick
list, Patrick Price, of Tyler avenue.

ment of those present that the Hi
bernians should march as body in

TOO MUCH LAW.

Few will disagree with the con-
illusions Of Moorfeld Storey, the Bos-
ton lawyer, who points out that our
people are beset with the notion that
the remedy for any trouble which they
encounter, however slight, is to be
found in a new law, and they rush to
the Legislature with every sort of
crude proposal for legislation. As a
result a Hood of new law is let loose
upon the inhabitants of each State
every year or two years, and any pub
lie spirited citizen who watches the
Legislature and tries to prevent fool
ish laws can not but be amazed at the
way in which our country is governed.
With this torrent of laws that pours
out upon the country there goes no
increase whatever of respect for the
law, but rather the reverse. The
more there are the more to break.
The legal profession has sunk in pop
ular estimation, and It is largely the
fault of the lawyers that this has come
about. However, the task of reform
is not so easy as it might be mag
ined. Progress in science is well
coined by everybody, but progress in
politics. social life or the law is a
different matter. Upon any existing
evil in any one of them some one now
fattens and is sure to oppose a change.
Nevertheless the leaders of the legal
profession realize that something
must be done.
