do not understand and upon
which I would like information.
One is, why there is everywhere in
the United States 80 much open
discrimination in favor of the Ro-
man Catholic church, For in
stance it is universally considered
a breach of the proprieties,
amounting to an insult to the
community, for unrelated adult
unmarried men and women to live
together in separate domiciies and
by themselves. And this without
even open appearance of grossness
or immortality. ~.
Generally speaklng,- for an un
married man and woman to un-
dertake to live together, would be
to invite the tongue of SANDER,
and if persisted in would probably
result in a prosecution in court.
For an unmarried Protestant
minister to try to live by himself
with an unmarried and non.relat.
ed woman as "housekeeper" would
result in immediate scandal. and
the fool preacher being Kicked out
of his church and drummed out
of town, to say the LEAST. Not a
town or neighborhood in the Unit
ed States would put up With such
work single week. Yet all over
the country at nearly every place
where shere is a Roman Catholic
church. priest is living alone
with his ''housekeeper."
If such course and life is con-
sldered outrageous and dospicable
for Protestant minister, why is
it allc wable in Catholic priest,
and why should public sentiment
and the courts allow IN the clergy
of any sect, that which it would
not, and does not, tolerate in the
laity or the man outside the
church? In other words why
does public sentiment and the
courts allow the priest to do that
for which an ordinary man would
be put in Jail? Is the priest above
the common proprietiss of life?
Is be above the courts and out of
reach?
As the Catholic church resents
criticism it should try q general
housecleaning and begin With the
priesthood. Has it the moral
stamina for the work?--B. G..
Smith in The Menace. 80.

Having just taken the wheel, it is
thought that Mr. Craig failed to
take account of the road until it
was too late. That he put on his
brakes when he realize his posi-
tion is certain but the momentum
was such that nothing could keep
the machine from the telegraph
post standing just on the outer
edge of the turn. This seasoned
pole was broken in two as though
it were pulp and the car turned
turtle, crashed Mr.. Craig and Miss

HOW YOU MAY THROW
AWAY YOUR GLASSES

The statement is made that thou
sands wear eyeglasses who do not
really need them. If you are one of
these unfortunates, then these glasses
may be running your eyes instead OF
helping them. Thousands who wear
these windows" may prove for them
selves that they can dispense with
glasses If they will get the following
prescription filled at once: Go to any
active drug store and get bottle of
DIPLOMA: fill a two-ounce bottle with
warm water and drop in one DIPLOMA
tablet. With this harmless liquid So
luton battle the eyes two to four
times daily, and you are likely to be
astonished at the results right from
the start. Many who have beeen told
that they have astigmatism, eye
strain, cataract, sore eye1ids, weak
eyes, conjunetivitis and other eye dis
orders, report wonderful benefits
from the use of this prescription. Get
this prescription filled and use it; you
may SO strengthen your eyes that
glasses will not be necessary. Thou
sands who are blind, or nearly so, or
who wear glasses would never have
required them if they had cared for
their eyes in time. Save your eyes
before it is too late! Do not become
one of these victims of neglect. Eye
glasses are only like crutches, and
every few years they must be
changed to fit the ever-increasing
weakened condition, so better see Il
you can, like many others, get clear,
healthy, strong, magnetic eyes
through the prescription here given.
