DIRECT ACTION URGED
AGAINST 'MARIErODME'
National Hibernian Advocates
Masculine Method if
Protests Fail

The National Hibernian in its issue APP
pearing today has an editorial headed
with this caption: F" Marie -Odile'-A Play
That Is an Insult to All Catholics" 1t is
as follows:
Members of our order throughout the
country viii be made familiar with the
details of the immoral and sacrilegious
play called Marie Odile. II deserves the
most vigorous treatment by the members
Of the a. O. n. Where protests are not
cfficacious when made to the management
or to the police authorities, the more
direct and masculine methods which Irish
Catholics have used in similar circum-
stances may be used with perfect pro-
pricty and successful results.
THE play is Of low species. portray
ing the weaker side of human nature and
fashily staged and indifferently acted
Its only appeal TO the attention of the
public is It's Haunting insult to the Catho-
lie slsterhoods and its association OF the
most reverent and holy symbols OF the
Church with an unlawful lust
"The plot simply Is built around nov
ice in Rhine convent during the Franco
Prussan War, who thinking that a Ger
man thlan is Saint Michael, Is seduced
under the spell of the fantastic deluslon.
The perversion of the artistic sense and
the callous degradation of the sacred mys-
teries of the Catholic religion are Of
fensive to the last degree.
"The play is written by dramatist
calloused to the finer feelings and Illus
trates the coarser side of the German
character. German Catholics would be
defending their racial character and their
Church by cooperating with the members
of our order in our protests. But we have
driven plays such as this from the Ameri-
can stage unaided in other days, and we
are sufficiently powerful to cause the
withdrawal of this vicious insult to
Catholicism from the sight of decent men
and women"

The effect of athletics is SHOWN particu-
larly by the arm, the Wellesley average
being 1876. as compared with 9.S in the
case of Venus. The arm tapers more
gracefully, the Wellesley wrist being six
inches, against So inches in the case of
Venus.
In size over all the Wellesley girl is
smaller than Venus. Venus is IT inches
taller than the Wellesley girl and weighs
1913 pounds more. The American girl
has been growing, however, and it is ex-
pected that a few more generations of
college girls will enable the American
women to surpass Venus.
The Wellesley Eymnastic authorities
are pleased by the measurements and at
tribute the good showing to daily gym
nastic routine and sports.

Fat ........,. 400 per cent f.Vo per cent
Sugar ........7.00 per cent. i.75 per cent
Protein ....1.5O per cent. $50 per cent
Mineral ......O.g0 per cent O.7O per cent
Thus they are about the same in guam
tty Of fat: human milk contains consider.
ably more milk sugar than cows milk
and less than half as much protein (al-
bumin, cheese) The difference in mineral
salts is negligible.
Now when il is necessary to substitute
an artificial food for a baby's natural
food. cows milk makes the neraest known
imitation. But in order to make cows
milk still more like human milk, we dilute
the milk, thus reducing the strength of
protein, then we add milk sugar and
possibly fresh cream TO brinS the other
essentials Up to approximate the proper
tions of fat and sugar in human milk.
One of the most practical ways of mod-
flying milk to render it suitable for baby
Is by taking jar of pure milk prefer
ably certified, letting it stand in n cold
place a few hours, or until the cream
rises then dipping the upper third of the
milk out By means of a Chaplin milk Dip
per "a little dipper holding just one ounce
and easily inserted in a milk jar) without
disturbing the lower layers of the milk.
This fresh upper milk contains about
10 per cent. fat. For very young baby,
the food should contain only about or 3
per cent fat. which is as much as can
be digested at first. In order to convert
10 per cent. milk (the upper milk into
per cent milk, you mix one part milk
with four parts water, as any arthmeti-
clan will tell you. So let us put 1t in
table form:
Remove the upper third (about nine
ounces from n quart jar of certified
milk which has stood for about four hours
in a cold place. (Use Chaplin milk dip
per, never tube and mouch suction)
