HOLY WATER

In the good old times, Holy Water
was always to be found in every Cath
Ollie home; and a costly holy water
vase was then customary gift to the
bride of wealthy family. Both GUS
toms seem to have gone out Of fash
ion nowadays. Indeed, the houses of
the rich are usually the ones in which
there is no vessel at all for holy wa
ter, or it is usually left empty.
The story is told of an excellent
pastor, who one day making a visit
to well-to-do family Of his parish,
and wishing, as he entered, to take
holy water from a beautiful font
hanging beside the door, found none
in it. He said nothing about it, but
dropped, unnoticed, a gold piece in
the font. Calling again not long
after, he saw his piece still there.
When taking leave this time, he re-
marked to the lady of the house:
"You< have an honest servant girl,
but she is, fear, not very pious.
When I was here last l put this gold
piece in the font, and here it is yet;
now she would surely have discover
ed the money, if she had the habit
of blessing herself with holy water"
The shrewd lady was not slow to
see the drift of the good priests hint,
and when he came again there was
holy water for him: and her neigh
bors took precaution likewise that
their pastor should not drop his gold
pieces into their holy water fonts.

THE CATHOLIC ORIGIN OF HOSPITALS
ScotIand's Ancient Hospitals.

Scotland possessed seventy-seven
hospitals before the Reformation; of
these Edinburgh had five, Glasgow
two, and Aberdeen four. In England
at this period there were 400 of these
institutions. Two of the most i'm
portant of the London ones, ST. Bar
tholomew's and st. Thomas, founded
some centuries before the Reforma-
ton, were coniscated by Henry VIII,
have since been set going again.
The medieval hospitals were served
generally by Brothers and Sisters who
were bound by vows of poverty, chas-
tity, and obedience Their dress, food
and recreation were all strictly pre-
scribed, as well as their duties. No
one employed in the hospital was al
lowed to take any refreshment or to
pass the night outside the hospital, or
to go out alone. No distinction of
creed or calling was made in the re-
ception of patients. All were well
come: soldiers and citizens, religious
and laymen, Jews and Mohammedans,
any who were in poverty and sickness.
AAO AOop1Iol dIISuuduIS were even
obliged to go out at stated times and
bring in all the sick and destitute per-
sons to be found. The statutes pro-
vided that the patients should be treat
ed as masters of the house. The sick
were never to be left without an at
tendant; nurses were to be on duty
at all hours of the day and night
When the illness became serious the
patient was removed to private room
in order to receive special attention.
Ventilation and heating were attended
to, and baths were provided.
All this magnificent charity was
more or less ruined, at least in Prot
estant countries, by the Reformation
In England this result was brought
about chiefly by the dissolution of the
monasteries. Similar spo1iations in
Germany followed so rapidly on the
introduction of the new religion that
the Reformers themselves found it diff
f1cult to provide anything like a sub
stitute for the old Catholic founda-
lions. Even Luther confessed more
than once that under the Papacy gen.
erous provision had been made for all
classes of suffering, while among his
own followers no one contributed to
the maintenance of the sick and the
poor" With this confession of the
chief Protestant leader we leave the
subject.

There is no such another large
ownership adjoining a big city in this
country. Acres in Columbia Heights
are going to be very, very rare and
choice three years from today. If you
decide to pay us ten dollars down and
five dollars a month, we will put you
in possession of the land at once.
We will also furnish you with the
necessary knowledge to make money
off of this land. If you have never
done any gardening we will show you
how to dig money out of your back
yard, it is there, all you have to do
is to dig it up. Do not forget that
the corner of Nicollet Avenue and
Lake Street, now worth $4,000 a
front foot was just as far out twenty
years ago as the corner of Thirty
seventh and Central is today. If to-
day you talked acre lots around
Nicollet and Lake Street, you would
be locked up for being ''nutty." You
cannot buy from any other broker in
this city an acre of land so near the
Union Station with similar modern
utilities, for anything like the price
that we will sell for. Then again,
there are the terms, the payments
can be made off of the land itself,
and the first thing you know you will
have an acre of land all your own
which has not cost you a red cent.

FOOD AS APPLIED TO REAL ESTATE TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION

1t is time that the consumer is
given advice that will enable him to
reduce his expenses. My message
is straight to those city consumers
that they need not pay the high price
of food to anyone. They can obtain
better food and also pay themselves
cash profit, by getting their living
directly from the ground, especially
so this year when food prices I'M
doubtedly will be very high. You
must not delay, however, because the
first of March will soon be here, and
it you are going to get full garden
you must be ready to make an early
start. If you have cold frame you
should have it ready for the planting
in March, of lettuce, tomatoes, pep.
pers, beets, carrots, egg plant, onions,
leeks, beans, parsley, spinach, cauli.
flower, cabbage and peas. The radish
is a very useful vegetable, it will
grow almost anywhere, and seems to
possess pungency which is effectual
in driving away bugs. Then again,
they terminate fast, and can be har-
vested before the permanent crop
needs the space.
The acres that I desire to show
you are at Columbia Heights, up
up where the sun shines, just four
miles from the Union Station. The
soil will grow anything that can be
grown in the State of Minnesota

If at any time thou dost stumble

Forty Thousand Cases Of Salmon Also Destroyed at Excursion Inlet
 Sunday Morning
TO REBUILD IN SPRING
Belonged to the Astoria & Puget Sound Co.,, Fire Started in the
 Boiler Room.

The Astoria and Puget Sound cannery at Excursion Inlet was en- tirely destroyed by fire early yes terday morning. The loss IS es- timated at about $300,0O0, as 40,- GOO cases of canned salmon were lost in addition to the cannery buildings, warehouses, net storage houses and large quantities of equip ment and supplies.
 ]. c. F. Edwards, superintendent of the cannery, arrived from there this morning on one of the cannery tenders and at once wired the de- tails of the loss of the cannery to the owners.
 When seen this morning MT. Ed wards said that the fire started in the boiler room, at 7:30 yesterday fneynfnes, exact ,aze unknown, and that when discovered had gained con siderable headway. Every possible means was used by the cannery to combat the flames, but with the headway already gained, and famed by a heavy southeast gale which was raging at the time, building af' ter building went up in smoke in spite of the best efforts of those fighting the blaze. Within less than two hours the entire plant was con sumed.
 The destroyed cannery was built in 1908 and contained three lines of canning machinery. It was rated with a capacity of 90,000 cases. This season 95,OO0 cases had been packed, and 55,0OO of these had been shipped south. On account of the inability to secure boats to move the pack about 10000 cases were left at the cannery, most of which was already labeled or boxed. It is estimated that the salmon destroyed was worth more than $250.OO0 alone, not count ing the cost of the buildings, ma chinery and other equipment lost.
 MT. Edwards stated this morning that the cannery will be rebuilt and be in readiness for operation next spring. if machinery and material can be secures, as far as he knows. He has received no advices from the owners of the plant as yet.

CUCCENHEIM CONTROL IS
 AGAIN CHARGED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The bill permitting the entry of foreign ships into the American coastwise trade everywhere except in Alaskan waters was passed Saturday.
 Representative w. c. Houston, of Tennessee, opposed the provision which excluded foreign vessels from the Alaska business. He said that exhorbitant rates are being charged Alaskans by the American steamship lines, And ,ile offered an amendment eliminating the excep- tion of that Territory from the op- eration of the measure.
 Representative c. c. Dowell, of Iowa, supported MT. Houston's s amedment, and charged that the Guggenheims controlled the Ameri- can lines operating to Alaska, and the entire transportation system of the Territory.
 Representatives John F. Miller and L. H. Hadley, of Washington, lead the fight ito save the Ameri- can flag in the Alaskan trade" ex- blaming that the freight rates are now entirely within the control of the shipping board under a recent act of Congress.
 The passage of the bill was urged for the definite purpose of making more American tonnage available for government use during the war. It permits foreign ships to carry both passengers and freight be- tween American ports.
