 KNIGHTS OF ZION

St Louis, January 3.-"Responsibility for preserving Jewish customs and ideals now rests almost wholly with the Ameri- can Jews" declared Louis D. Brandeis of Boston in an address today before the Knights of Zion in annual convention here. "The people of Israel now are suf- fering the greatest calamity since 1492 when SO0,000 Jews were driven out of Spain. Half the Jewish population of the world is in the western zone of the Euro pean war"
 Two obligations devolve upon the Jews of America. MT. Brandeis said-to give quickly and generously to the aid of the war sufferers and to live up to the high- est ideals of American democracy.
 ITO be good Americans you must be good Jews.' he told the convention, land to be good Jews you must be good Zionists."

sisted in his efforts to get at his ar tillery
 In the long stretch of woods near the mining camp as the young deputy was leading his prisoner to the rail road. the bad guy seized an oppor- tunity and jumped on Thomas. He did considerable damage for few mo- ments but Tommie finally got working good and the alleged burglar went to the ground with Tommie on top. When the couple got up the prisoner was handcuffed and his head was badly bruised. The next morning ToInmie e marched the man in the county jail and received the plaudits of Sheriff Me- Adory.
 In speaking of the sensational work of Tommie as deputy sheriff his com- rades always state:
 "You can't compete with boy that has no sense"
 In police parlance the above remark means that Tommie will go anywhere his superiors send him; that he Is not afraid of anything this side of Ees- semer; that he is honest capable and fully competent to cope with any sit uation that may arise while he Is on official business. That is not a bad record-even for a "boy deputy"

 On September Is, 1912, the day that he became of age Thomas was con- missioned a deputy constable and served at that highly profitable calling (so it is currently rumored) for one year and a half.

Boston English Opera Company

The Boston English Opera company, Which comes to the Jefferson theatre Friday and Saturday with a matinee Saturday has at least five different na- tionalities among it's members, which in itself is enough to create dissension. particularly in these times of "war" talk. Add to this the temperaments and jealousies which are supposed tc exist among opera stars and the spirit of good fellowship and harmony which exists in this organization is all the more remarkable. one factor whicn eN- plains this condition in a measure is the arrangements attitude of goos viii to every member from the star and prima donna to the chorus and work ing staff Instead of making the whole, organization suffer for the misdeods ef the few, dissenters are not tolerated.

ICES his handicap. Usually it is
then too late for him to make up
for what he has lost. The learned
professions, the technical callings,
the world of literature, the ave-
nues of production and commerce,
of public life and service, are all
crowded with college-bred men,
and they offer peculiar opportun-
ity and incentive to those who
possess the culture and training
impaired by higher education.
From these higher walks of life
our Catholic young men will be
barred if they have not had a
higher education, Parents should
deem it their most sacred duty to
place the advantages offered by
Catholic high schools and col
.leges at the disposal Of their boys
and they should do all in their
power to encourage them to take
advantage of these opportunities.
Some, no doubt, cannot afford to
send their children to school after
they have graduated from the pa
rochial school; but they are in the
minority. Others need only make
a little sacrifice to attain this end
while others again do not feel the
demand made upon their resources
in order to give their children the
very best Catholic education OBJ
tainable.
Now is the time for parents to
attend to this important matter.
The schools will open next week
and the graduates of parochial
schools should be found in large
numbers in Catholic institutions
of higher learning.

We thought we had heard the
last of the Castellane- Gould case
when the Apostolic Segnatura de-
cided that the marriage was valid.
Now comes a report from. the
Roman correspondent of the Cath
ole Press Association to the effect
that Pope Benedict has appointed
a "Pontifical Commission COM
posed of Cardinal De Lai, Cardi-
nal Van Rossum and Cardinal Bis
lett to take up the Castellane-
Gould marriage case, with aNyiew
to deciding the question whether
Anna Gould gave a true matri-
monial consent before her mar
riage to Count Boni. +"
This report is said to come from
: a reliable source" Count Boni
has had many years to present evil
dence to prove the invalidity of
his marriage to Miss Gould, and
he has not succeeded in doing so
to the satisfaction Of the Holy See.
There seems to be little reason for
reopening the case.

DEAN OF THE SACRED
COLLEGE.

By the death of the late Cardi-
nal Serafino Vannutelli, his broth
er, Cardinal Vincenzo Vannutelli,
becomes Dean of the Sacred Col
lege. 1t is very unusual for two
brothers to be members of the Col
lege of Cardinals at the same time,
and rarely, if ever, has it hap
pened that they succeeded one an
other in the Deanship of that au-
gust body. Cardinal. Vannutelli
has been Sub-dean Of the College
since the death Of Cardinal Agli-
ardi who passed away last March.
The new Dean was born in Gen
azzano in the Diocese Of Palestrina
III 1886. He was created Cardinal
by Leo XIII, in the Consistory of
December 30, 1889, but reserved

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
HAS BEER A FOOD vALuEg

The secular press from time to time
INDUCES in an effort, by spacious full
page advertisements, to exploit a food
and temperance beer" and thereby not
to induce 1.-THE people to drink more
beer, but more people to drink BEER
OF the supposedly harmless and desir-
able quality advertised in their pages,
says L. M. Mason, M. D., in Christian
lntelllgencer. But the latest and most
progressive teachings of medical sci
ence and clinical and practical expert
ence advise against any form of alco-
holic beverage, however mild and no
matter how low the percentage of al
cohol 1t may contain, and to this rule
malt liquors are no exception. Beer,
owing to the narcotic effect of the al
cohol it contains, will allay or suspend
the sense of hunger, thus giving a
temporary relief and a false sugges-
ton of food value which does not
really exist
As to the actual food value of beer,
Baron Liebig, the eminent chemist,
says in his Familiar Letters on
Chemistry" Beer provides no ele-
ment capable of entering into the
composition of blood, muscular fibre
or any part which is the seat of the
vital principle. AS much flour as will
lie on the point of a table knife is
more nutritious than five measures of
the best Bavarian beer
Not only is the food value of beer
insignificant, but the alcohol it con-
tains tends to fatty degeneration,
which displaces the healthy muscular
tissue. Habitual beer drinkers are,
therefore, not infrequently subject to
the disease known as fatty degenera-
ton of the heart, or beer heart" and
to consequent sudden death. No alco-
holic beverage, if habitually used, is
safe. Alcohol is a narcotic poison, a
paralyzing and degenerating agent.
The alcohol habit is progressive and
liberation is easily established, and
with the average drinker the passing
from tie habit of the so-called mod
crate. drirker" to that of the immod-
crate d,inker is merely a matter of
time. Total abstinence from the use
of all forms of alcoholic beverage is
the only safe position, and even a So
called mild beer is no exception to
this law.
Professor G. Bunge, M D., in his
essay on Alcoholic Poisoning and
Degeneration" after discussing GER
tain phases of alcoholic degeneration
on the basis of the scientific stand
point and medical experience, says in
his closing paragraph: "And let us
bear in mind that we have in science
yet another powerful weapon on the
side of the abstainer. No one can
bring forward any scientific argument
against the claim of abstinence, and
in the long run no power on earth will
be able to withstand the demands of
science. The whole history of the
world teaches us this lesson"
