PROPRIETARY MEDICINES.

A few.years ago there appeared in
the City of Leeds, England, a state
ment signed by fifty-eight medical
men warning the public against the
use of so-called medicated wines The
results from the use of these nos
trums were such as to lead to a select
committee of the House of Com
mons being appointed for the purpose
of inquiring into their composition,
and the effects of their use The
British Medical Journal also sounded
a note of warning regarding the CIV
ing of these wines to children, since
they contained such a very small
amount of nutriment and such large
amount of alcohol. 1t went on to
say that by the use of these wines
the alcoholic habit may be encouraged
or established, and that it was mis-
take to suppose that they possessed
any high nutritive value The Ian
Get" says: "The idea that malt can
be combined ser7iceably with wine. is
delusion and a snare
The percentage of alcohol in some
of these wines as shown by the Mid
dlesex County analyst, follows: Bow
ril Wine, 20 per cent; Wincarnis, 10
per cent; Bendel's Wine, 20 per cent:
Vibrorica, 10 per cent; Panopeptone.
20 per cent; Lydia e. Pinkham's, 90
per cent.
Most Of the preparations contain
about double the amount of alcohol
found in ordinary claret, and the dose
recommended equals one wine glass
of whiskey per day. One preparation
called "Nogermo," especially recon-
mended as sure cure for severe
colds contained So per cent of alcohol
We can now easily understand why
the alcoholic habit can be uncon.

to see the display of these Knockers

many of our city drug stores to ap-
preciate the amount of damage done
by the consumption of alcohol con.
cealed under the guise Of proprietary

BISHOP STUNT STILL AT
LARGE.

The Methodist Bishop Stuntz
whom the Redpath- Vawter JChau-
tauqua System of Cedar Rapids,
Ia, is paying to enlighten the be-
nighted people of the Northwest
on conditions In South America,
gave his customary lecture on
that subject in Watertown, S. d.,
last week.
According to- the report Of the
lecture given in the Wate1'town
Saturday News" of July 20,
Bishop Stuntz did not mince mat
ters when describing the religious,
social and educational status of
the Catholic people Of South
America. He characterized them
as ignorant, immoral, and "lack-
ing any especial respect for the
teachings Of the Christian relig-
ion.
From the fact that there is no
mention of any protest on the
part of his audience, we are led
to the conclusion that no Catho-
lies were present, and that the
n-Catholics who heard him
were not possessed Of any high
degree of intelligence as they
would otherwise have challenged
his untruthful portrayal of CON
ditions in the Southern Repub-
lies.
We are glad that no Catholics
Were present at the lecture. They
had been informed, no doubt, of
what Bishop sStuntz said in his
unexpurgated lecture and they
remained at home to show their
disapproval 1t would have beer
better, perhaps, had they taken
the matter up with the local COM
mittee-as was done in Sioux
Falls and in other towns where
Catholics are vigilant-and ex-
pressed their disapproval of the
lecturer S attitude towards the
Church. We would not like to
think that the Catholics of Water
town attended the lecture and ac-
cepted the untruthful statements
of this Methodist Bishop without
signifying their disapproval in
some unmistakable way. It must
also be pleasing to them to have

The following excerpt from the.
official report of Major General
Bliss, assistant Chief of Staff, who
investigated conditions in the mil
tia camps along the Mexican bor-
der, is a high tribute to the fitness
of "the boys" for the work which
they may be called upon to do:
There is one thing that is par
tieularly noticeable and pleasing
among the troops that | have thus
far seen Immediately along the
border, and that is the practical
absence of Intoxicating liquors in
the camps. This is notieeably true
In the New York division. The Of
ticers set the best example in this
respect, and the men seem to fol-
low it. The local communities are
so small and scattered that there
is comparatively little temptation
from that source"

The self-styled American Fed
Grafton of Patriotic Societies"
held it's annual meeting in Mime
apolis last week. The meagre re-
ports given to the public indicate
that. the sessions were rather
stormy. One is not surprised at
this. Patriots" of this type are
usually self-seekers and only COM
mon hatred of the Catholic Church
binds them together in anything
like fraternal unity. The usual
stereotyped resolutions were pass
ed denouncing Papal aggression,
advocating taxation of all church
property, calling for the ''rein-
Statement" of the Bible as a text
book in, the public schools, and
pledging active participation in
politics-the very thing for which
they condemn the Hierarchy.
Military preparedness for the
United States was advocated by
George c. Booth of Toronto, Can
ada. The American delegates
must have been mapping when
they allowed a "patriot" from be-
yond the bnrder-to tell them what
this country needed. For colossal
this is the limit.

JEWELED C!BORIyM
HEIRLooMS COMPOSE MATERIAL
AND ADoRNMENTS OF
SACRED VESSEL.

Donations of nearly 1900 pieces of
jewelry by the members of the Holy
Hour Confraternity of st. Martins
Church, Baltimore, Nd, have been
nodded into one of the most costly
and beautiful ciboriums ever turned
out in that city.
The sacred vessel, used to contain
the consecrated Host in administering
Communion, was blessed by Rev. c..
C. Smyth, assistant pastor of the
Church and spiritual director of the
confraternity, on April 81; and was
used for the first time Sunday, May
z, the general Communion day of the
confraternity.
All the gold was beaten and
wrought by hand, and it required
several weeks to complete the work.
There are about 100 precious stones
in the ciborium, ninety-nine of them
being diamonds. Eight amethysts are
on top of the lid. One of the most
costly pieces was sunburst of
twenty-nine diamonds. This was
placed on one of the panels of the
bowl. IA the sever other panels are
quaint and costly pieces of women's
jewelry. At the base is draped a
sold rosary.
The c,1orium stands eighteen inches
high, and there was sufficient gold
left from the ciborium to make a
chalice. This will be presented to
Father Smyth by the confraternity
for his personal use. A few of the
jewels that would not fit into the
design of the ciborium without mar
ring its beauty will be placed in the
chalice.

The number of accidental
deaths on Sunday during the sum-
mer months is alarming. In the
mad rush for recreation many
people seem to neglect the ordi-
nary precautions for safeguard
ing life and limb. In the desire for
momentary respite from the ener-
waiting heat they take chances in
boat and automobile, swimming
and driving. Too often these ac-
cidents are the result Of a reckless
disregard for life and a desire to
show off, by being the leaders
in daring exploits and adventures.
While it is true that accidents will
happen even. when all the usual
precautions are taken, yet it can
not be too strongly impressed up
on vacationists that they should
exercise more than the ordinary
care when an element Of danger
is present. The frequency of
these accidents should be a warn
ing to Catholics, at least, that the
missing of Mass on Sunday while
on vacation may be attended with
disastrous results The grief Of
those who bemoan the accidental
death Of one who is near and dear
to them is very much assuaged by
the knowledge that he or she at
tended Mass the morning of their
last day on earth, and if they APP
preached the altar rail how much
more consoling is this knowledge.

One of the planks in the plat
form adopted by the Prohibition
Party at last weeks convention
advocated the entire separation
of church and state. By this, of
course, they mean the separation
of the Catholic Church from the
state. That is, the only church
whose influence counts for any
thing. 1t is all right as long as
some Protestant church is in the
ascendancy. Such a union of
church and state never provokes
a protest from the bigots.

SULZER AND THE RELIGIOUS
ISSUE.

Former Governor William Sui.
ger of New York, addressed the
National Prohibition Convention
on Thursday of last week. Most
of the delegates considered him
an avowed aspirant for the Presi-
Edency on the Prohibition ticket al
though he denied that he was a
candidate for the nomination. In
the speech which was expected to
turn the tide in his favor, but
which signally failed to do so, he
repudiated in a general way the
nti-Catholic sentiments Of certain
prohibitionists, and for this we
give him due credit.
In view of more recent events
it would seem that his reputation
was not more than half-hearted
for, before the end of the week,
he sought endorsement from a
I.self-styled American party"
made up for the most part of anti
Catholic organizations banded to-
gether under the general name of
"The American Federation of Pa
triotic Societies. which held it's
national convention in Minneapo-
lis this week.
In the course of his address at
the Prohibition Convention, Mr..
Sulzer touched on the religious
question in the following words:
II am so much in favor of re
ligious liberty that [ want every
man and woman on earth to have
the right to worship his or her
Maker according to the dictates of
his or her conscience. | believe
in all religions.
81 believe in all churches. They
are all houses of worship. I be-
lieve that the church S business
is to save souls. So long as it
keeps within the precinct of it's
legitimate functions I applaud it,
But when it tries to save the state,
when it tries to control the nation
for it's own Interior purposes I
am against it. :"
He did not charge any particu-
lar church with seeking political
control, but most of the delegates
who heard him were convinced
that he had the Catholic Church
in mind. Whether he had or not
we do not knew for sure; but he
offered no proof that any church
of any denomination was going
beyond the legitimate sphere Of
it's religious activity. He assumed
it and virtually asked his hearers
to accept his statement without
proof.
When Mr.. Sulzer was Governor
Of New York he did not show any
bias towards Catholics. On the
contrary, he was rather well dis
posed towards the Church. But
since Tammany brought about
his downfall he seems to have suf-
fered a change Of heart and know
ing that there was no possibility
of his being honored by any of
the regular old-line parties, he
would accept political preferment
at the hands Of new organization
which seeks to hide it's antipathy
to, the Catholic Church under the
name Of the "Ameri-
can party" We are sorry that
Mr.. Sulzer has stepped from his
high estate, but If he is content
to have people, judge him by the
company he keeps, he must not
complain if they ascribe to him an
attitude unfavorable to Catholics.

to say of the Catholic parish

And made to thee his moan
That any one who fastened
For shelter to thy care
Was ever yet abandoned
And left to his despair,
No, never blessed Virgin,
Most merciful, most kind,
No sinner cries for pity
Who does not pity find.
None, none, o Holy Mary!
And SO to thee, my Mother,
With filial faith l call,
For Jesus, dying, gave thee

All! throw thy mantel Ger me,
And let me stray no more.
No more! 0 Holy Mary!
Thy Son has died to save me,
And from His throne on high
His heart this moment yearneth
For even such as I.
All, all His love remember,
And oh! remember too
How prompt am to purpose,
How slow and frail to do.
Yet scorn not my petitions,
But patiently give ear,
And help me, o my Mother!
Most loving and most dear,
Help, help, o Holy Mary.
Miss Katherine Conway gives the
holy petition this form:
Remember, Mother, throned- in Heav
ems splendor,
That never on this earth has it been
said
That any heart which sought thy pity
Was left uncontrolled.
So, z wearied of world-friendship's
changing fashion,
And bankrupt of world-treasures
utterly,
And trusting in thy mercy and COM
passion,
come at last to thee.
Why name to thee my needs in my
entreating?
Thou, taught in human hearts by
the Divine,
Long time agone, when soft heart was
beating,
Fond Mother, close to thine!
The Late Right Rev. John B. De-

N. H., rendered the prayer as follows:
Remember, Blessed Mother,
That never was it known
Who sought thy intercession
Was left to plead alone.
Confiding in thy goodness,

Let not thy gracious promise
Be broken just for me.
Though most unworthy ever,
Yet hearken to my cry,
And stretch hand through darkness

The Rev. Arthur Barry O'Neii1,

thus invokes the Virgin Mother:
Remember, Mary, Virgin tender

That he who to thy arms for refuge

Thy prayers besought, and on thine

The NE NOR AR {
POETIC PARAPHRAsEs OF An
INDuLGENcED PRAYER TO
OUR LADY.

In the amen Corner" Of that
treasury of pious, tender thoughts
the Irish Monthly" the Memorare
was presented in various forms, in
prose and poetry some years ago.
The compiler Of this tribute to our
Lady was the Rev Matthew Russell,
S. j., of happy memory, who for more
than forty years diligently worked
for God in the apostolate of tie press.
Pope Plus TX, by a rescriLt of the
Holy Congregation of Indulgences,
Dec. IL, 1916, granted an indulgence of
three hundred days for each time the
Memorare was said, and a plenary in
diligence for saying it very day for
a month, the usual conditions to be
complied with. There are various
versions of this beautiful invocation
of the Blessed Mother Many have
tried to turn it into verse, though the
prose is sweet and musical to the ear.
Father Russell himself wrote the

no definite plans could be taken up
for at least two weeks.
One of the suggestions for the pro-
posed trip is for the President to re-
view some of the troops on the border
but no decision on that has been
reached.
Invitations from cities in all parts
of the country are before the Presi-
dent but none will be accepted until
they have been gone over carefully by
Vance c. Mccormick, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, and
other Democratic leaders.
The possibility that Congress may
remain in session after September l is
preventing the President from making
any definite campaign plans. He wants
to make no long trips from Washing

he has accepted an invitation for
