TX. and Antonelli; consequently, he had to
hide around and slip away from Rome, to
keep the Vicar of Christ from numbering
him-as other Italian patriots were murdered
by this amiable Pope.
Coming over to this country, for life and
health, GavazM delivered series of lectures
which caused sensation and aroused in the
New York Romanists desire to kill him.
But Gavazzi had been priest too long, not
to know how to guard against them; and SO
he was not rallroaded into an ASYLUM. as
Maria Monk was.
Said Father Gavazzi, "In Rome, we have
three heads Of St. Anne, and one at Bologna
That makes four heads for this extraordinary
Jewess
Ii she had four heads, it stands to reason
that she had eight legs, and forty toes.
Consequently, there is nothing out of the way
IN there being one of Anne's bones in New
York-only it was long time coming.
Anne lived some 1900 years ago, and New
York was bought from the unsophisticated
Red Mentor few plugs of tobacco and
Jug OF rum-some 300 years ago. but
Annes old bone didn't arrive until about ten
years ago, according to the best of nv recol-
lection.

performed during those 800 years-miraces
In epidemics, in fires, in the slums where
starvation stalks-I feel quite at a loss to
understand why the bone hardened it's heart.
as 1t were, and held aloof from us.
But it's there now, in New York CITY: and
If you don't believe that it is working mir
aculous cures, you subscribe to one of Mr..
Hearst's remarkable papers and read it, He
tells you.
He will take you to the church and show
you the very crutches left there by the poor
old crone who was cured of chronic rheuma-
tism, by one kiss of the bone.
He will show you the roller-chair of the
paralytic, left there as holy Brief of Testi-
,nony, by the poor shut-in who hadn't walked
step in 80 years, until he kissed that bone.
Then he rose, walked, went to the ball
game, and tangoed in the cabaret
Mr.. Hearst tells you all of this in his re-
markable papers-papers which even Mr.. III.
could not get out, if he didn't have Brisbane
and Graves to help him do it.
For some time, a most terrible epidemic of
Infant paralysis has been raging in New
York and the babes have been swept off by
the hundred.
Annes bone paid no attention to this, at
first, but it is now busy. It will stop the
epidemic, provided the child, or it's parent,
has sufficient Faith.
It all depends upon Faith: if the kiss of
the bone cures the sufferer had sufficient
faith: but if the sufferer is not cured, he did
not exert sufficient Faith when he kissed
If the afflicted gets well, the bone is
gloriously indicated; if no recovery results,
the bone is not to blame.
In Mr.. Hearst's educational and uplifting
paper, you may read what the priest says
about his modus operondj with the miracuI-
Gus bone.

bone, and then they don't have Infant Pa

EUROPE'S MEAT FAMINE.

Russia follows Germany example in restric-
ton of the meat diet for civilians, and again
our friends, the vegetarians. are encouraged to
predict permanent reduction in meat con-
sumption. Vegetarian habits acquired during
the war will endure beyond and forever. say
those who get breakfast, luncheon and dinner
out of the garden.
While there is much to be said on the side of
vegetarianism, however, and much more to be
said on the palate's ability to forgive and for
get, a more reasonable prediction is that the
vegetarians- by-request will try to make up for
lost time when the war is over. They will eat
meat if they can get it, and their conscience:
will trouble them no more than their stomachs
The theory Of a continuing habit of non-flesi
diet is based upon assumption of human
strength; the theory Of a resumption of meat
eating is founded upon the stronger premises oil
human weakness-love of variety.
For variety's sake, if not for health's sake

DECEPTIVE "MANNERs. y

1t is related that Nebraska school superin-
tendent put himself in peril of loss of his posi-
ton by inserting into the course of study two
hours week of instruction in manners He
was condemned as .'snob' and misfit rep
resentative of the effete east Perhaps his
method of procedure was tactless. but for his
inclusion of manners as worthy of study there
is ample Justification. The minute we speak
OF manners the bogy of social caste appears
and the discussion becomes odious to our ideas.
But the fact is that manners have more to do
with the social plane on which all people meet
than anything else. Manners are ways of do
ing things and are quite as much in evidence
as what is done People are always prone to
confuse manners with morals, which attitude
leads to trouble. Rascals may. be outwardly
charming and the pure in heart may eat with
their knives; but the fact that good manner
helps rascality and the other thing is handi-
cap many times is worth attention of young
people, if only to warn them that manners may
be deceptive we'll as help to real character
and working efficiency.

TODAY,s BIT OF VERSE
MY LAND.

My land is where the kind folks are
And where the friends are true;
Where comrades brave will travel far
Some kindly deed to do.
My land is where the smiles are bright
And where the speech is sweet,
And where cling to what is right
Regardless of defeat.
My land is where the starry flag
Cleans brightly in the sun;
The land of rugged mountain crag,
Tie land where rivers run,
Where cheeks tanned and hearts are bold
And women fair to see,
And all is strife for gold
That land is home to
My land is where the children play,
And where the roses bloom,
And where to break the peaceful day
No flaming cannons boom.
My lands the land of honest toll.
OF laughter, dance and song,
Where harvests crown the fertile soil
And thoughtful the strong.
My lands the land Of many creeds
And tolerance for all;
1t is the land of splendid deeds
Where men are seldom small
And though the world should bid me roam,
Its distant scenes see,
Ny land would keep my heart at home
And there I'd always be.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle
The best thing to use is just plain null
sifled eocoanut oil, for it is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in, about teaspoonful is ali
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
OF rich, creamy lather, cieanses thor

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.


measures to insure humane treatment
of prisoners; the indeterminate sentence, the
parole system and modification of the exist
ing rigors of prison life were tried in arriving
at final plan of prison practice. During the
eleven years in which this sort of penal regula-
ton has been In force crime has greatly IN
creased in the state and the Detroit Free Press
raises the question whether humane methods
of treatment of prisoners do not lessen the fear
| of punishment and thus make the yielding to
criminal impulses more general.
The Free Press sees that increase in crime
may be due to many causes; the population OF
the state has increased and In particular the
population of the cities has increased. But
crime in Michigan has doubled IN ten years
and the population has by no means increased
in any such measure. But there are elements
to be considered in estimating the effect Of hui
name methods of punishment which are en-
tirey apart from population increase on
which alone the Free Press bases its theory. In
the first place, according to the figures given
out by the Michigan prison department, there
are but twelve per cent more prisoners actual
ily in prison than there were ten years ago; this
would seem to indicate that of the fifty per
cent. increase a large part have been restored
/ to citizenship or to innocuous life among their
fellows. Again, while the increase in crime
has been great, the increase in capital crime
has been far less. Business speculatlons and
frauds are contributing causes to large per
cent of crime and it is reasonable to suppose
| that the stricter grip which the law has taken
on business regulation may account for an in
crease in detection and conviction of this sort
of crime.
Another strong probability is that in the
early years of prison administration under
methods which demand for success wise dis
elimination In their use, restriction was re-
moved from all prisoners just as before re-
striction had been enforced on all alike. We
have come to know that while all crime must
be punished some criminals must be dealt with
vigorously and constant restraint on them is
necessary; others can be restored to honest
citizenship and made selfsupporting units OF
society: that still others are physically and
mentally unsound and need treatment proper
for such conditions We are getting away
from sentiment toward sense in this matter.
The function of punishment is to protect So
iciety against crime. Too great leniency will
increase crime by causing a larger number OF
people with criminal inclinations to take
chances Too great severity will increase
crime by making hardened criminals of people
who can be put back into law abiding citizen
ship It is the business of penologists to find
the right balance in the administration of
prisons.
