DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
FRANCES RACE or CRADLE AND
COFFIN.

France said a lecturer recently,
is the nation where cradles and
collins are running neck and neck
with the collins gaining the lead"
One reason for this melancholy fact
which is appalling thinking men and
women in France was forcibIy i'm
pressed upon the new president of
France, M. Poincare, during recent
official visit to ST. Antoine HOSPITAL.
When he arrived at the clinic of DIR.
Lucien Jacquet, accompanied by full
suite of officials, La Croix Bleue re-
lates, the physician had before him an
alcoholic subject, man with dull,
emaciated face.
This is case of alcoholic cirrho-
Sis" said the surgeon, "and if you
will permit me, Mr.. President, / will
show you some figures of other al
coholic cases collected by my
assistant, DIR. Lebar.
From the first of May, 1912, to
the first of February, 1913, We have
questioned 308 patients concerning
their consumption of wine and of
spirits, and as to the number of their
children, living and dead.
Here are the sorrowful results of
our inquiry:
"One hundred and eleven patients
who had consumed alcohol moderately
have lost Sc children, or 18.41 per
cent of all born to them.
Eighty patients who drank heavily
have lost 73 children, or 2O.33 per cent.
"One hundred and seventeen
patients who drank very heavily have
lost 220 children, or 61.22 per cent"
AS the doctor gave these figures
with impressive gravity, the states
men listened in attentive silence,
while the newspaper men made notes
and the photographers took snapshots
of the unique scene
"Out of total of 688 children born
to these 308 patients" concluded DR..
Jacquet, 1859 died, 2O7 of them in
early infancy. These, Mr.. President,
especially under present circum-
stances, are sad and terrifying figures,
and I regret having to make you
acquainted with them"
The President, listening closely and
a little pale, replied, "You must tell
the truth, DOCTOR" Turning to those
behind him he said:
Il hope, gentlemen of the press, you
have taken those figures and will
make them known to the country

AMERICAN HIERARCHY
DENOUNCED.

The Pope, the Church of Rome
and the American Hierarchy were
denounced, abused and misrepre-
scented according to the usual
methods Of anti Catholic bigotry
at meeting in Woodman Hall,
100 West 9th ST., St. Paul, last
Monday evening, at which H. Ell.
Van Meter Of Chicago, delivered
two-hour harangue on "Rome
and the American Public School. !"
We know nothing about Van
Meter except that he fills the bill
by measuring up to the require
ments of lecturer for the A. P.
A., the so-called Guardians of
Liberty or any other organization
of bigots, no matter what euphe-
mistic name it may sail under.
There were not more than one
hundred and twenty-five persons
in the hall of whom about twenty
five were women. One-half the
remainder were drawn, apparent
ly, from the ranks of the uncouth
and unkempt who haunt low sa-
looms and frequent back alleys.
Among the rest were a few prom
inent (?) citizens of ST. Paul
whose names we shall append to
this article.
The lecturer was introduced by
A. M. Lawton who is said to be the
local leader of the Guardians of
Liberty" Van Meter lost no time
in preliminary fourishes, but got
down to business at once. He
declared that the title under which
his lecture was advertised, name
| ly, HThe Public School and What
1t Stands For was misleading,
and, as he did not wish to sail
under false colors, he declared
that he intended to speak on
Rome and the American Pub
lie School. I" This gave him the
necessary scope for his ability as
an Catholic lecturer. He
threw facts of all kinds to the
wind, and directed his oratorical
thunder against everything Cath
Ole. He quoted extensively from
the Menace and tried to show that
the alleged opposition of the
American Hierarchy to the public
schools is not by any means an

the altar? True, prayer book is
not absolutely essential. One may
follow the Mass without it's aid
and mediate upon the mysteries
of the Holy Sacrifice with profit.
The beads can be said or other
forms of devotion used while at
Mass. But, granting all this, it
still remains fact that the best
way to profit by attendance at
Mass is to follow the priest in the
different parts of the Holy Sacri-
flee by the aid of a prayer book.
For this purpose, any of the or
binary prayer books will suffice !;
but there is none whose use is so
satisfactory as that Of the Missal
itself.
The Missal is the official prayer
book of the Church, from which
the celebrant reads the different
parts of the Mass. It contains the
prayers prescribed by the Church
for the offering up of the Holy
Sacrifice and the honoring of Our
Lord, the Blessed Virgin, or the
saint whose feast is being COM
memorated. The prayers con-
tanned in the Missal are put in
the mouth of the priest by the
Church herself for the benefit Of
the faithful and, consequently,
they are the most salutary and
effcacious that can be used by the
faithful themselves in offering the
homage of their worship to Al
mighty God, in thanking Him for
His gifts, in petitioning for His
favors and in offering reparation
for their offences against His all
holy law.
The Missal has been translated
into all languages and it can be
obtained in a handy form, suitable
for a prayer book, at compare
lively small cost. Every Catholic
family and, as far as possible,
every Catholic should have a copy
of it for use as a prayer book at
Mass. 1t enables one to accom-
pany the celebrant at each step in
the sublime offering Of the Holy
Sacrifice. It's prayers are trans
lations of the prayers which the
priest says during the per-
Torrance Of this holy function
By means Of it the faithful
familiarize themselves with these
beautiful prayers and are enabled
to enter into the spirit Of the
Church and to understand the real
significance of the sacred action in
which the celebrant is engaged
and in which they are participant.
ing as co-offerers with him. Ii
helps them to fix their attention
on the Mass and thus prevents the
mind from becoming a prey to the
multitude Of distractions which
arise when ones attention is not
directed unreservedly towards the
altar and the Holy Sacrifice which
is being offered up.
By all means let there be a re.
introduction wherever it is neces-
sary, Of the time-honored custom
of using a prayer book at Mass
and let that prayer book be, as far
as possible, the Roman Missal.

A man may begin by drinking mod
erately, writes Rev. Joseph Schuen in
Sacred Heart Review, but on account
OF the love he has for the associations
he meets with in drinking places, he
frequents them more and more, and
so gradually acquires love for liquor.
He may, indeed, resist the passion for
drink, but unfortunately the number
of those who once acquire the habit
and resist with any determination Ia
very small. The craving for drink
once acquired will not rest without
being satisfied. Once the habit In
formed It becomes an iron chain, q
strong yoke; the man becomes a
slave to it, and cannot break the fet.

A rare species of alderman has
been discovered in New York-a
politician who is not in office for

McAneny, President of the Board
of Aldermen of New York, has

a movement to raise his annual
salary from $1,000 to $4,000. He
pointed out that he was candi-

for a better life, namely, the saw
ing influence of religion.
This religious element in the
reformation Of the hayward is
even more necessary, if possible,
for girls than for boys. Without
it there is no sufficient sanction
for the observance Of law, no COM
polling motive for the recognition
Of duly constituted authority, no
appeal that will make plain to
the hayward the necessity of re-
turning to the path of rectitude.
Have we then, no institution,
where girls, and especially Catho-
lie girls, who have fallen from
grace, can find the salutary
assistance which is so necessary if
they would regain their lost in
heritance? Yes, there is such a
place in the city of st. Paul. The
House of the Good Shepherd is an
institution for the care Of way
ward girls in which the uplifting
appeal and the refining influence
of religion play a paramount role
in the restoration Of it's inmates
to the plane of right-living and
pure Christian maidenhood from
which they have fallen. The
House Of the Good Shepherd is
doing noble work in caring for
hayward and unfortunate girls
who have entered upon the down
ward career If they have not al
ready been lured into the abyss of
degradation and sin.
Yet, strange to say, the noble
purpose and philanthropic work
of the Sisters Of the Good Shep-
herd are not known and appre-
ciated as they should be, even
among Catholics who ought to be
the first to commend the self
sacrificing devotion Of the Sisters
who have consecrated their lives
to the redemption Of the weak and
fallen. If the truly Christian
character of their work were bet
ter known to Catholics the finan-
cial support and moral encourage
ment given the sisters would be
more generous than it is. To the
discredit Of some Catholics who
should know better, it must be
said that their want Of knowledge
of the House Of the Good Shepherd
does not prevent their criticizing
it and comparing it unfavorably
with State institutions with un-
limited funds at their disposal for
the proper housing and material
comforts of their inmates. Ii these
critics possessed even an ele-
mentary knowledge of the true
principles on which social reform
work is based, there would be
some hope of making them see
the error Of their ways, and thus
converting them from unsympa-
thetic unlookers into intelligent
advocates Of the only rational
method of reforming hayward
girls, namely, by Installing into
their minds the teachings of re-
ligion without which morality is
robbed Of an all-sufficient sane
ton.
If these critics Catholics in
name, but without the knowledge
and charity which would make
their views of any value would
only take the trouble to visit the
House of the Good Shepherd in a
receptive mood, and without the
preconceived notions which blind
them to its advantages, and try to
understand the method employed
by the Sisters in their work of re-
forming, they would come away
convinced, as all intelligent social
reformers are convinced, Of its
superiority over all other institu-
lions for the reformation Of way
ward girls which strive to attain
this object without making re-
ligion the foundation Of their
training

Saint Patrick's Visit.

1t was ebout the year AL that Pat
rick visited the Reek and spent his
forty days of wilderness on it's sum-
init. He had been staying with his
friend Senach at Oghagower, and
tired after many wanderings, he
thought then to stay his steps in rest
IT would choose" he said, ito remain
here on a little spot of land After
faring round churches and waters /
am weary, l would go no farther"
But the peace he sought was not to
be given to the already aged man. An
angel came to him and said:
Thou shalt have everything round
which thou shalt go.
Every land
Both mountains and churches
Both glens and woods

waters

So Patrick started of again, and
drove in his chariot across Mayo until
he reached Murrisk. Then his char
ioteer Totmael died, and there Pat
rick buried him, raising a cairn to his
memory. When he had done this, he
began the ascent of the mountain, and
when he reached the summit he
placed four stones close to each
other, and one in the centre to serve
as a pillow. This was his poor shell
ter during forty days and forty nights.
