HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper EATING

AS old age advances we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape

into a most digestible sugar.

The Way Up From Prison
BY Maud BalIington Booth.

This is the case of former convict
whose companions nicknamed him
Skinny. During his five terms he
served over twenty-one years in pris-
on. He was a young man who had
not had advantages, and In fact had
stolen from childhood.
During his last term he contracted
rheumatism, was 30 bent and broken
that he was unable for months to lie
down and was permitted to do little
cobbling In his CELL At times his pain
was SO great that the physician would
give him a morphine tablet, but in
stead of using them he kept them, in
tending to kill himself when he had
saved enough of them.
How many of these would IT take
to kill man, DOCTOR" asked Skinny.
about twenty" was the reply.
On the day that our message reach
ed him he had accumulated nineteen
of these tablets, and following our
talk he went back to his cell and
threw the nineteen away. After sub
seuuent interviews he decided to
come to our New York home, which is
one of four maintained by us for re-
leased prisoners. He came out on
crutches and he was indeed enact
ated.
His Reformation Complete.
During the eleven months he re-
manned with us he built up his shat

PAYS to Save Manure.

Nitrogen is worth at least eight

Is tons of manure and litter a year,
containing 100 pounds of nitrogen. At

Experiments have shown that liquid

deteriorate much more rapidly. Also
the more compact the manure is stor-

AYEW YORK,-Following swift Oh
NH the recent revolt of convicts in
IN Sing Sing, their defiance of war,
den and keepers, their threats
to dynamite the prison and effect a
general delivery has come an insis,
tent question:
Is 1t possible TO reform a convict
and make good citizen out of him?'
Take that same Sing Sing with it's
army of men incarcerated for crimes
OF almost every kind-burglars, high
waymen, habitual ne'er do wells, COM
mon thieves, housebreakers, second
story men, pickpockets, bank robbers,
bigamists, bunco steerers, grafters of
every degree, accomplished swindlers
OF every kind-take this mass of de-
PRAYED humanity-is 1t possible really
to effect reformation in more than
an occasional instance? Is it possible
to restore majority of these prison
ers to places of respect and RESPONSE
bility in the world of freedom?
Possibly a great majority of those
who asked the question knew that
certain religious organizations, well
fare societies and other charitable
agencies have long asserted that they
actually can. and do, succeed in re-
forming criminals, men and women of
the most hardened types; that they re-
store them to their families and see
them become members of society
respected, trusted, and sometimes hon
ored. But the average man is apt to
be somewhat skeptical of such state
ments What he asks for is plain,
definite, convincing, indisputable facts.
No Doubt Of Rescucs.
Those who ask the question and de-
man proof are, for the most part,
practical, level-headed men of affairs.
In order to ascertain whether a defin-
lite, incontrovertible answer to their
doubts can be obtained inquiry has
been made of agencies and individuals |
discharged from prisons and peniten-
tiaries. In each instance the attitude |
of those questioned was one of sur
prise that at this day there should |
be any doubt regarding the absolute
reformation Of former convicts.
One thing that will strike the In
quirer who goes carefully through the
records Is the fact that while hun
dreds Of former convicts are today
successful In business undertakings
and in trades, large proportion seek
not to engage in money making occu-
patton but to go into rescue work
themselves. Missions of every kind,
industrial homes, college settlements,
all forms of social service for the
down and outers," seem to appeal
more powerfully than anything else
10 these men VINO have been down and
out themselves. and who throw them
selves into the work of reclaiming
other human wrecks.
Prominent among those interested
In the work of rescuing human dere-
lets is Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth.
Here is her testimony on the sub
ect:

some way or other these old plaintive
songs of Egypt seem fitted to the bor-
cal regions, but why can not explain.
In the city we must perforce set a
stage for drama, but here nature has
made setting for us high on hill
overlooking a wide meadow that
slopes to the bay. You have read
something like this in classic myths,
or maybe it was in Shakespeare, but
it doesn't greatly matter; the play is
the thing. For myself, make believe
this is the slope of Parnassus- the
Pythian hero was also promoter of
colonization, a founder of cities, a
healer of the sick, an institutor of
games, patron of arts.
1t is on this outdoor stage in its
June-tide glory that we banquet; that
we sing; that we play our parts. And
it is here that Keenosew the Fish,
chief of the Crees, with rapid rush of
speech and voice of military sharp
ness, presents the homage of his tribe.
In like manner also do the other rep
resentatives of other northerly tribes.
Each chief wears treaty medal as
pledge from Her Gracious Majesty
Queen Victoria.
1t is here also that a fair-faced
young woman of our company express
es the reverence of her sisters of the
diocese, for Monsignor the Bishop,
and, as token of the same, presents
to him plate heaped high with coins
of gold.
And from this hill it is that we ride
through the newly-cut road, thou
sand men and women of us in stately
procession, but withal gayly caparis-
oned. Observe, if you will, our rib
bons and fringes of gold; the little
flags in our brides; our lynx-skin sad
dle-cloths, and the wreaths of purple
velvet that hang from the pommels.
Look well at our black soutanes, scar
let coats, gray homespuns, and yellow
moose hides, for we are proud this
day and wear our finest feathers. It
is not well to be disturbed by the un-
tamable naughtiness of our horses, for
the northern trailer, you must have
heard, has no stomach for glitter of
trappings, neither does he like the feel
of neighbors, as we ride down white
aisle of birch and poplar The feet of
our horses tread out for us the odor
of fresh leaf mould, which odor is the
medicine of the world
Neither are we knights who sally
forth to right wrongs, albeit we have
the truest knight of all with us-he
who has snow on his head and fire in
his heart; he who has taught these
tribes by doing.
This day we ride without review or
forecast. We ride because we are
glad. All we ask of life is room to
ride adown this long white pathway
in this young world. 1t is the best
that life can give-room to ride

Friend.

THE BISHOP OF THE ARCTIC
Golden Jubilee of Right Reverend
Emile Grouard, o. NJ. IA Nom
Catholics Description of the
Celebrations.

Half a century ago, writes Mrs. Ar
thur Murphy, Protestant lady, Bishop
Tache wrote letter to France, in
which he asked for missionaries. In
response to this appeal certain young
Grouard was sent to Fort Garry. From
that day to this the Northern world
has had but one opinion of Grouard-
he makes good" He is worker who
sticks to his text. Today he is the
head of the Catholic missions in the
far North, and his diocese, until late
ly, included the very Yukon.
He is seventy-seven years old, with
a leonine head, an unrazored face, and
chest like that of a draft horse, an
erect man who commands the instant
attention of whatever company he en-
tiers. Assuredly, he is the type of ''the
sound mind in the sound body"
Bishop Grouard is alert in manner,
and has a kindly consideration for
the poorest person. Attend you, sirs
and madams, to observe the Old
World courtesy in it's highest perfec-
ton; you must see it in the person
of a French gentlemen who holds a
position of honor in the far, far North.
1t is an absolutely truthful courtesy,
that has it's roots in a big, warm
heart, so that it becomes the very
bone and fibre of the man. By way
of placating our more southerly digni-
taries in what may seem an invidious
comparison, it may be urged that
Bishop Grouard's urbanity has never
suffered such cross-currents as the
municipal watering cart, speed limit
fines, or the bill collectors, for, as yet,
these well-conceived but ill-approved
institutions, are entirely unknown in
the strangely blissful regions north of
fifty-five.
It is for the f1ftieth anniversary of
Bishop Grouard's ordination as
priest that all of us have gathered
from Edmonton to Hudson's Hope.
We are assembled at Grouard on Less
er Slave Lake, the missionary post
that was built here forty-nine years
ago and named after the hero of this
day. Our assembly is what smart so
ciety reporters would describe as
mixed" and the word would be cor
rectly used; nevertheless, the interest
and color of this occasion are in no
inconsiderable measure due to this
very fact Besides, ours is good fell
lowship. Here we have Father Ortol-

Their won.
Rev. P. M. Jung, now pastor of ST.
Mathews parish in st. Paul, was CIV
en- charge of Mortified when Father
Pavlin was promoted to Faribault. In
the following year, September, 1883,
Father Jung was transferred to his
present parish and was succeeded
bv Rev. H. Visitor for one year, and
then by Rev. J. ]. Jacobs, who re-
NAMED in charge for six months. In
April of 1890 Rev. Thos. F. Gleason
was appointed pastor, and after
short acquaintance with the people he
started to build the present substan-
tial and comfortable priests house.
His efforts were successful, and when
he was transferred in May, 1894, to
his present parish of st. John in the
City of st. Paul, the Mortified parish
had but a very small debt.
During the year following Father
Gleesons removal, the parish was in
charge of Rev. Francis J. McEwan
and Rev. Edward T. Lee. In Deem
her, 1894, Rev. Patrick Kenny was
appointed to the parish and remained
until August, 1910, when he was trans
ferred to the parish of st. Anthony,
Minneapolis.

instead of only every second Sunday

serving with zeal as assistant for
three years in the parish of North
field Father Rowan was assigned to
a similar Office in the parish of st.
Joseph, st. Paul. His place was taken
and is still occupied by Rev. c. ].
Normoyle.
In 1911 when the parish of North
field had finished paying it's share to-
ward the New Cathedral of st. Paul.
the question of building a permanent
and substantial parish church was pro-
posed and received general accept
ance.
Architect John Wheeler, of st. Paul
was instructed to draw up plans and
specifications for new church that
would cost thirty thousand dollars
His plans were accepted and on Feb
Eruary 4th, 1913, the architect was in
structed to call for bids. The trus
tees were authorized to enter into g
contract with Mr.. Henry R. LANCE, Of
st. Paul, the lowest of eight bidders
who was to have the church finished

1913, for the sum of $32,8O0.0O. The
work of construction was begun anC
ground was broken for the excavation
on April 7th, 1913.
The work has progressed very sat
