Sugar is Dangerous.
[ By DR.. K Z. Daniels. ]

sugar IS q mighty concentrated
food, representing the principle
food elements Of bread, rice, pota-
toes and, in fact, of all grains. 1t
represents the starch of these
foods, and starch is very neces-
sary food material.
Soldiers have been able to en-.
dnre long marches on the ready
fuel supplied by sugar, but re-
gardless Of this fact sugar, like all
>other concentrated foods, should
not be used as a constant article
Of diet, except in very limited
quantities.
One of the important reasons
for avoiding sugar is that when it
is present in meal in any appre-
ciable amount, it checks the Sc
cretions of the digestive juices in
the stomach and thus reduces the
amount Of all the digestive fluids,
from the stomach down. This
means that there is going to be an
interference with the digestion Of
| the meal. If you eat consider.
able amount Of sugar with a meal
containing, for instance, meat, you
prevent the secretion of sufficient
digestive fluid TO digest the meat;
hence the meat will decompose
and poison you. When sugar is
present in the stomach alone no
digestive fluid whatever is secreted
so when you eat candy between
meals, it is not digested
Another reason for avoiding
sugar is that it ferments very
easily, and in the process of fer
mentation it becomes more Of a
poison than food. Furthermore,
as the sugar ferments it sets up
/ the same process in other foods,
and thus can change meal from
food to poison.
Sugar is frequently the cause,
direct or indirect. of many of our
digestive disturbances. Sugar is
an irritant to the mucous mem-
branes of both the stomach and
the bowels, and much more irri-
tating are the substances formed
as the undigested sugar ferlnents
in the bowels. In this way sugar
may cause directly catarrh of the
stomach and intestines, and in
directly it may cause constipation,
biliousness, and the sluggish
liver" Nervousness, rheumatism,
catarrh, too much flesh aud to-
little flesh are some of the dis
orders that may be caused by eat
ing sugar in considerable amounts

| ITALIAN IMMIGRATION
DISCUSSED BY MGR. VASSALO,
APOSTOLIC DELEGATE TO
COLOMBIA.

Whether or not the literacy test for
immigrants is incorporated into the
laws of the United States is not re-
garded as of much Importance by
prominent Italians The way in which
they view the situation was well ex-
pressed by Monsignor Alberto Vas
salo, Apostolic Delegate to Colombia,
South America, in an interview with a
reporter for the Brooklyn Tablet not
long ago:
eff the greater restriction for i'm
migrants results in the stopping of
the tide of Italian immigration into
this country, the legislators of your
Congress will have succeeded in do
ing for Italy that which Italy has
striven to accomplish for years. We
have in our country hundreds of
broad acres that might we'll be under
cultivation if the men could be per-
suaded to remain and work them.
But they listen to the attractive tales
of the many agents that travel
through the country trying to induce
them to come to America, and con-
sequently the land is left fallow The
Italian government wants the men to
stay at home and will welcome any
measure that will bring about this
result.
However, it is questionable if this
bill, or any other of the kind would
succeed in stopping the tide of emf
grafton from Italy. If the Italians
found that they could not come here,
they would turn to Argentine, where
they are always welcome and where
they find opportunities at least as
great as those offered in the United
States"
Mgr Vassalo laughed at the state
ment often made by bigots that the
Pope is responsible for the illiteracy
of a large percentage Of the Italians
He said that Italians from the So
called "Papal States" seldom emigrate,
and that the larger percentage of IL
literacy is found in the sections of
Italy over which the Pope never had
any temporal power. eff the Pope
were responsible for the illiteracy,
how is it that the Italian government,
forty years after the cessation of the
temporal power of the Pope, has not
been able to put an end to it?'' he

FINAL DEBATE IN THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS-THE LIBERAL PAR
TY CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
UNAVAILING PROTEST OF UL-
STER.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Cecil UnderWood.)

BY the time this article reaches the
readers of The Catholic Bulletin the
final debate on the Home Rule ques-
ton will be in progress, and all eyes
will be turned toward the House of
Commons.
The position of the Government is
one of great strength. Mr.. Asquith
has only to let time work it's effects
on things and then go out to gather
the spoils of victory. Every week
that passes makes the situation in
Ulster Of greater and greater anxiety
for the Tory leaders If the Orange
men break loose and attack Catholic
and Protestant Nationalists, they will
be put down at once with a strong
hand; and that will be the end of
Carsonism and Carson. If they keep
quiet, time will put the Home Rule
Bill on the statute-book, and once
there the Act will have to be obeyed:
mere minority in Ulster will not
be permitted to defy the rest of Ulster
and of Ireland. And in that dilemma
the Tory leaders have been appealing
to Mr.. Asquith to tell them what he
intends to do. He has told them to
wait In a few days he will dis
close his plans. He has, we need not
doubt, carefully and anxiously turned
over his proposals with his colleagues
and his friends and supporters. Mr..
Asquith is not the man to take any
rash step, especially at conjuncture
like this. He wants peace in Ireland,
wants to see elf-government begin
with peace through conciliation. And
so he may be trusted to consult all
those whose voice counts in the work
and the terms of settlement. Mr..
John Redmond and his friends, the
Labour Party, the Radical wing of
Liberalism, even the chief personages
Of the Opposition must be taken into
consideration from the point of view
of achieving a satisfactory conclusion
with his proposals for meeting even
the unreasonable susceptibilities of
Ulster Orangemen and disarming all
fears of the results of the Home Rule
Bill But, while he is willing to adopt
every possible or likely line of settle
ment, the Bill must stand and must
become law, with agreement if so be,
if not, then without He will not be-
tray the cause which he believes to
be polite, imperative, and just. No
threats of violence will COW him into
any surrender He will do whatever
man can do to attain peaceful settle
ment,, satisfactory to all parties. But,
if his offer is rejected, the conse-
quences must be on the heads of
those who reject it. The Government
means to put Home Rule through.
And the country means to see that
they do put it through. After all these
years, to fail in pacifying Ireland and
curbing the Lords would be to ask
the country to destroy the Liberal
party at the polls; it would be politi-
cal suicide. And suicide is not an
item on the programme of the Liber-
al party for the elections in the year
1915. We may trust Mr. Asquith to
be strong, to be conciliatory, and to
win.

WORK DONE BY THE
MINNESOTA STATE PUBLIC
SCHOOL-MR. MERRILL, A CON-
PETENT HEAD-A YEARS RE-
PORT.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Rev. James Donahoe.)

The great majority of people make
an unjust distinction between public
and private charity. The former is
usually regarded as having little to do
with the practice of the greatest of all
virtues. This results from not under
standing the nature of public charity,
and not knowing personally the men
and women whom the state employs
to be the protectors and educators of
its dependent wards. The practical
Catholic reads much about the excel
lence of private charity. From the
pulpit he hears of the self-sacrifice,
the tenderness of heart and the good
ness of those who devote their lives to
caring for the inmates of Catholic
institutions. Lack of reference to the
good done by the administrators of
public charity, and silence in regard
to the nobility Of character Of most of
those engaged in public charity work,
permit of the inference that the
superintendents of state institutions
and their assistants are perfunctory,
unsympathetic and non-spiritual in the
discharge of their official duties.
The writer hopes to remove false
notions from the minds of many who
are poorly informed on the subject of
public charity. He wishes to see more
appreciation OF the splendid work done
by state institutions in behalf of the
orphan, the neglected, the mentally or
physically handicapped and the insane.
Public charity having more depend
able sources of income is able to prop

CHURCH.

The Honorable Edward Douglass
White, Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, has been
selected by the University of Notre
Dame as the recipient of the Laetare
Medal for 1914. This medal is an
adaptation of the Golden Rose con-
ferred by the Holy Father upon some

meda1ist for this year, was appointed
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court on
December 12, 1910, by President Taft
in succession to Chief Justice Fuller.

was born in 1845. His education was
received at Mt. st. Mary's College,
Emmetsburg, Md, and at Georgetown
College, near Washington. He fought
in the Confederate Army during the
Civil War and was admitted to the
Louisiana bar in 1868. Ten years
later he was appointed to the Supreme
Court of that State He represented
his native state in the United States
Senate from 1891 to 1894, when he was
appointed member of the Supreme
Court of which he has been Chief
Justice for more than three years.
Chief Justice White is the second
Catholic to occupy that position, the
other being Honorable Roger B. Taney
of Maryland, who was Chief Justice
from 1886 to 1864.

RUTHEN|AN ORDINATION
SIX RUTHENIAN STUDENTS WERE
RAISED TO THE DEACoNATE IN
ST. AUGUSTINE'S SEMINARY,
TORONTO, BY BISHOP BUDKA-
A UNIQUE CEREMONY.

Quite recently the faculty and stu
dents of st. Augustine's Seminary,
Toronto, Ont, were privileged to wit
ness ceremony unique in the eccle-
siastical history of Canada. It was
an ordination according to the Ruthen-
ian rite. On that occasion six
Ruthenian students Of the Seminary
were raised to the deaconate by Mgr.
Budka, the Ruthenian Bishop of
Canada. He was assisted by Father
Didyk, o. s. B., who gave the retreat
preparatory to ordination, and the
Rev. DR.. Redkiewycz, Director of the
RutheniaD students and Professor in
st. Augustine's Seminary. The cere-
mony was attended by the Most Rev
erend Archbishop McNeill of Toronto
and a number of visiting priests.
According to Register-Extension
est. Augustine's is the only Seminary
in America, which has the privilege of
educating for the holy Office of priest
hood the Catholic young men of both
Roman and Greek Catholic rite. There
are at present fourteen Ruthenian
students in st. Augustine's Seminary,
with a celebrated Ruthenian profes-
sor, Rev. DR.. Redkiewycz, at their
head, who takes pride in his Ru-
thenian students, looking anxiously
forward to the great work awaiting
them in the midst of nearly 250,O0O
of the faithful Of the Ruthenian rite
in Canada. The relations which exist
between the English Canadian stu
dents and the Ruthenians are excep-
tionally friendly and happy"
st. Augustine's is the Diocesan
Seminary of the Archdiocese of
Toronto, and was formally opened for
the reception of students last Septem-
Der. It is a magnificent institution,

THOSE TINY GREEN RIBBONS
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
William Louis kelly.)

To see over one thousand members
of the Ancient Order of Hibernians
and the Ladies' Auxiliary march from
their halls to the Cathedral of St. Paul
on the Fourth Sunday in Lent, and
there receive Holy Communion in a
body, was an inspiring vision-to be
of them holy privilege. A tiny green
ribbon, worn by each, spoke as it only
can.
Oh, the Emerald ribbons!
The tiny green ribbons!
The right royal ribbons!
How they flashed in the sun.
Emblems of purity!
Tokens of strength!
Der the hearts of fair women,
On the breasts of brave men,
AS they marched on that morning,
Along the still street,
In their hundreds, aye, thousands,
Their Saviour to meet
No bugle call sounded,
No drum beat was heard,
The hearts of the marchers
BY one call were stirred.
Twas the call of the Master
Spoken of old,
By martyrs preserved,
BY prophets foretold.
These Emerald ribbons,
These tiny green ribbons,
These right royal ribbons,
AS they flashed in the sun,
Tell but one story
OF greatness and glory,
That in Christ's kingly presence,
The thousands are one.

sufficient to supply their immediate
wants. ooh! more than happy, if

Thus, the poet, Virgil, sang the joys
of agriculture. Doubtless he caught
this inspiration while enjoying what
lines in his country villa where, re-
mote from the noise and disturbances
of city life, he held sweet companion
ship with his own reflections.
Industrial centers.
1t is a lamentable fact that, in this
our day, the youth of the country,
-obsessed by a desire for city life, have
flocked to the great centers of popula-
tion where, bartering their freedom
for gold, the best blood of the nation
becomes the hirelings of soulless cor
porations. However much we may de-
plore this movement to try to dam
the current were foolish, to stem the
stream beyond our power. But to
deal with the situation resulting
therefrom is our duty. The political
economist assumes the care of the
nations political life Under his care
the nation grows and develops. He
is the political physician who, when
he is called to relieve distress, more
wisely acts by treating the SYMPTOMS
which careful diagnosis reveals, than
by scolding the patient for catching
against exposure to contagion and
infection, and neglect of his warnings
cannot fail to, displease him, but re-
lief from the sufferings this neglect
has caused, is what he is asked for
and expected to give.
Every large center of population be-
comes, of necessity, a mart of COM
merce and seat of industry. Situa-
tions favoring the pursuit of these oc-
cupations are without exception the
cause of the growth of our great
cities. Here are found employer and
employee. Not, as some would have
it, workmen, and those who do not
work Such division cannot, of
right, and does not, in fact, exist
The decree that man shall eat his
bread in the sweat of his face is
eternal and all comprehending. AS
well might man hope to avoid death
as to free himself from this sentence.
Idleness, or exemption from mental
or physical labor, can never, in oppo-
sition to natures law and Gods de-
cree, be an inherited or acquired
right. The young are busy preparing
themselves for life's struggle; the prov
ident old man is granted a few years
rest from exhausting labor as a re-
ward for work previously done, before
he goes down to the grave. In the
cities where all have flocked to meet,
they have come to part. Beside the
marble mansion of the employer who
lives in luxury we find the miserable
hut of the employee who lives in
want.

STATE SCHOOL FOR DEPENDENT CHILDREN

erly care for those whose young lives
would be miserable, whose future
would be blighted and whose chance
of salvation would be slight were it
not for it's ample resources.
Minnesota State Public School.
1t is natural for us to place a chill
dren's home in the first rank of
charitable institutions; and no fault
will be found by selecting the Mime
sofa State Public School, Owatonna,
as representative of the good done
along the lines of public charity. The
readers of The Catholic Bulletin
should be conversant with the nature
of the work done there. The state
was peculiarly fortunate in securing
Mr.. Galen A. Merrill at the opening Of
this institution twenty-efght years ago.
During all those years he has re-
mained the intelligent, untiring worker
and SO well has he managed this chill
dren's home that there is none of it's
kind in America that surpasses it. Mr..
Merrill is the type of man you expect
to find administering private charity
going around quietly, giving help to
the needy and doing beautiful things
that are known only to the Father
Who seeth in secret. In this public
institution one finds true charity
practiced towards every child that
comes under its sheltering roof. There
is nothing of the law-enforcing official
in Mr.. MerrilPs character His heart
is tender as the little ones committed
to his care. He is solicitous for their
present comfort, and his aim is to en-
sure their future wellbeing. Though
he is supposed always to have COM
petent men on duty he has been known
on stormy nights to make the rounds
of the dormitories to see that his
little charges were not suffering from
the cold. His attention to the school
and its inmates is the same as the
anxious fathers attention to his home
and loved ones. Long after the usual
