We have, after prayerful consideration,
adopted the following plan for Zion Field
Workers:
During the months of January, Feb
ruary, and March they will be placed in
Southern cities; during the rest of the
year. they will be placed in the Northwest
and West, and in the largest Eastern cities.
Early next week, two Workers will leave
for the City Of New Orleans, and two for
Houston, Texas; and others will follow
for other Southern cities as quickly as ar
rangements can be made.
We hope and expect to place large
during the next few months.

We desire to make the following explain
lions regarding the clubbing rates now
offered on LEAVES OF HEALING and
THEOCRAT subscriptions, as some people
seem to have been little confused in the
matter:
Anyone already a subscriber for the
LEAVES OF HEALING can renew for
same and subscribe for THE THEOCRAT.
no matter if their subscription for the
LEAVES OF HEALING does not expire
for several months
Persons who are subscribers for both
the LEAVES OF HEALING and THE
THEOCRAT can renew for both at Climb
bing rates.
One subscription can be placed for your
self and another for friend, if you desire,
or one subscription can be sent to a.
friend and the other to another friend.
In fact, we are willing to accommodate
people IN any way they desire, provided
yearly subscription is given for both the
LEAVES OF HEALING and THE THEO-
GRAFT at the same time.
A large number Of THEOCRAT sub
scriptions, which were given when the
paper, started, will expire in few weeks.
The people who gave these are practically
all subscribers for the LEAVES OFHEAI,-
ING. Why not renew for both at the club
bing rates, thereby saving fifty centsY

Advocate Authorized Clinics
 In Regard to Birth Control Where Men and Women in America May Go for . Scientific Information on Sub- ject.

(By Lucy Huffaker in New York
 Tribune.)
 Authorized clinics where men and women who are married or about to be married may go for scientific in- formation in regard to birth control may yet be esta blished in America. This statement was made by Miss LaYinia Dock when l asked her to talk in regard to the meeting to be hold next Wednesday evening at the Academy of Medicine. 1T West Forty third street. Other men and women phy sicians, nurses and just plain cit izens--- have hopes as high for a re- form which they feel to be necessary. In regard to theses hopes and the manner of bringing them to pass, they will speak at the meeting which Is to be held under the auspices of the committee on birth control. which has Headquarters at 54 West Ninety y-fourth street
 So at last birth control---that mat ter about which men, and especially women, have thought so much and have dared talk so little and then furtively-is to be brought out into the open. Prominent physicians have agreed to lay aside professional re- ticence and speak in regard to the necessity, as they see it. of repeating the present law which makes it crime to circulate any knowledge in regard to birth control. It Is a rad ical stand which they are to take as witness the fact that one man is now under indictment in this city for having given another man a phamp- hiet on methods of preventing con- ception-but they assert that the time has come when something must be done to change the laws on this important question
 It is not a half-hearted interest which these men and women are talk ing. They realize that they may run amuck of the law and find themselves

Her re- formation becomes complete when she shows great bravery in the yellow fever camp.

 The two most popular attractions are the acrobatic speciality which in- troduces the Miilnars and a dancing novelty given by Root and Whito. These numbers are the big applause winners. The audience calls for en- cores from both teams at every per- formancc.

AUSTRIA'S ACTION
 IS CAUSE FOR WAR
Bridges Destroyed and Telegraph and
 1. Telephone Lines Cut at Ponte Caffaro and Lodrone,

Parts, May 23, 6:30 a. mt is considered that Austria's action in destroying the bridges and cutting telegraph and telephone lines at Ponte Caffaro and Lodrone can be held to constitute a casus belli, mak- ing Italy free to open hostilities with out further diplomatic formalities says a Gaulois despatch from Turin. Ponte Caffaro is short distance north of Riva, the extreme point in Austria, on Lake Garda. Austrian troops were withdrawn after the civil population had been forced to evac- uate Riva and other sections of Ven- zia under Austrian rule.
 When the Milan Express reached a point near Ponte Caffaro, where the line had been cut. the train was seized by the Austrians and the crew arrested. It is supposed the same fate has befallen another train from which no news has been received since it crossed the Austrian frontier.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
SOCIETY.

In few weeks an effort will
be made to reorganize the ST.
Vincent de Paul Society in the
United States by establishing a
Superior Council at Washington,
which will serve, as it were, for a
national clearinghouse through
which the work of administration
and supervision will be carried on
for all the branches of the soci-
ETY. in the United States. This
Superior Council will be the medi-
um through which the different
subordinate societies will be
brought into relation with the
General Council i'll Paris. For
the purpose of inaugurating this
change, a meeting of men inter
ested III the work of the ST. Vim
cent de Paul Society will be held
in Washington on November q
and p, under the presidency of
His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons.
If this proposed change sue
ceeds In stimulating the dormant
activities of the st. Vincent de
Paul Society by putting new life
into the movement, it will justify
the hopes of its promoters. It
must be confessed that III many
places the Society is little more
than a name and the work which
it accomplishes falls far short Of
the standard of personal activity
on behalf of the poor set by Oza-
nam and his co-workers.
That the work of the st. Vim
cent de Paul Societies has Jagged
in Minnesota during the past few
years is evident to all who know
the facts. Time was when the
conferences In the Twin Cities
were In a fourishing condition,
when the work donc by their
members was worthy of the high
ideals of the organization. 1t is
regrettable that interest in this
line of work has reached such a
low ebb among Catholics. There
are reasons for it, of course. Men

addition Of notes from tho Fathers,
and the very popular price. With
great satisfaction he also remarked
that the work in which Your Grace is
SO zealously engaged, the wide distri-
button of the Scriptures, has in our
days become mission of greatest
charity because of the fact that the
sublime book can be used for the COM
fort of, the war prisoners and the
wounded, for which the present edi-
tion is destined. Meanwhile the Holy
Father expresses words of deepest
praise and encouragement to Your
Grace and all those that have support
ed and assisted you in this holy apos-
tolate, granting at the same time as
token of his fatherly benevolence
the petitioned Apostolic Benediction."
In this way has the Holy Father
shown his deep sympathy with the
work Of distributing the Bible. 1t can
serve to remind Catholics of their duty
to intelligently familiarize themselves
with the inspired Word of God. In
this way, too, with they give the most
practical refutation to the ancient
story of the hatred of the Church for
the Holy Scriptures.
