Food Conservationisms
SOME PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS
FROM THE FOOD ADMINS
TRATION.

One ounce of sugar less than usual
a day would not be much of sacri.
fee, but it would mean much of saw.
ing. One ounce less. day would save
1,1S5,000 tons year, and that would
keep sugar plentiful and cheap for us
and our Allies Remember, and save
your ounce.
This is a short year for wheat and
a good one for potatoes. A baked
potato equals slice of wheat bread
as food. Therefore, eat the baked
potato and save the slice of bread.
Not diminution but substitution
that is all food conservation asks
Bran meal mullins for breakfast and
corn meal bread or johnny-cake fol
lunch will send wheat to the men in
the trenches.
Two meatless meals each day would
be good thing for many and no in
jury to any.
Foodless and less food are two very
different things. Some of us can af
ford to eat less food in order that
none may be foodless.
"A War Food Message for the
American Home"-a pocket booklet
that you ought to carry, read, mari
and inwardly digest says: "Youl
Government does not want you to give
up three square meals a day-or ever
one. All it asks is that you eat les:
| of the foods that are so greatly needed
by our armies, and more of the food.
that are plentiful Anyone whit
grumbles at that doesn't deserve ont
square meal day.
Four things we must save-sugar
meat. milk, and wheat Men canno
fight unless they are fed. Ever,
meatless, wheatless, sugarless mea
helps to win the war and save our
liberties and homes.
There are two great classes O
foods: /. Those that supply fuel Of
energy; and 2. Those that are neces
sary for bodily growth and repair.
Eat less cake and pie, not only t,
save wheat and sugar for the world
needs, but to save your own health.
Growing children need whole milk
but grown people can drink skim mill

Ancient Ruins Discovered
REMAINS OF CHURCH UNEARTH-
ED NEAR GAIA IN PALESTINE
NAME OF FOUNDER is SEEN IN
INSCRIPTION.

An interesting discovery has been
made by Australian soldiers near
GAIA, Palestine. Some officers recon
noitering on high mound at Shellal,
between Beersheba and Kahn Yunus,
found that the Turks in digging
trenches and making machine-gun
emplacements, had uncovered the
edge of an old mosaic. Further in
vestigations by the Australian troops
revealed the ruins of an ancient
church which had stood on the road
from Jerusalem to Egypt, the road
mentioned in the New Testament as
that which the Ethiopian eunuch
took after he had met and been bap-
tised by st. Philip. After six feet of
soil had been cleared away a fine
mosaic pavement measuring 81 by Is
feet was discovered bearing an in
scription Although in, parts effaced
this showed that the church was
built in the 561st year of the Chris
tian era by '.our most holy father in
God and most pious George Be-
meath this pavement tomb was
found containing the body of the
founder of the church, his feet turned
to the east and his arms crossed on
the breast.
Some allege that this is the body
of ST. George, whose head is vene-
trated in Rome. ST. George, however,
who is known principally as patron OF
England, was not bishop, but sol

THE QUEST
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
DR.. James Hehderson.)

Past the far gates of Oblivion we
sped,
Silence and L.
Fair was the road and untrodden
Fairer the sky.
We walked in world that was olden,
Walked in streets precious and
golden;
This land was where men never die.
Twas up near the vault of the vistas
Men seek with the eye of the soul,
Out where dwells Myra and Yaneck,
Close to the boreal pole;
Yet farther than that had we trodden,
This night when Our senses paid dole
The star-dust was cold, iridescent,
| had been in this region before
And silence was painful, incessant,
For Time had long since gone before
So we fastened 'mong marges and
meadows
Weird as the wool of some dream.
Mong spirits that still tried to dream
But hold l cried; Silence, 1 doubt
you;
This world is not wholly content,
Else why should their grieving be nur
tured?
Look! See how their garments are
rent.
We were seeking soul still unshriv.
en-,
BY doubt and distrust madly driven,
She had passed thro' this margeland
so lately
From star-dust to stars dwelling
farther
Than Afgol that burns in the blue;
And as far 'yond his place in far
heavens
Farther said Silence, than you"
"She must yet go to regions far dis
tant
Before that her sojourn is through
A sound swayed the vistas about us
Twas the young suns that rise IN
some morn
On shores that first sweep into being
When young worlds are summoned
and born.
Let us go, | cried. Silence! 'Tis
truly
A vision that beckOns us on,
Else why in this chancel if question
ed?
Said she, "'Tis the voice of some
Dawn,
On some far shore the voice of some
Dawn,
Then let us-the moon, see, has risen;
1t beams 'yond the Lake of Delight
Let us go from this palace or prison
| know not of Day or of Night"
A nebulous form swept on pinions,
Swept up from that region of rest,
While the duplicate horns Of yor
crescent
Paled out 'yond the gold of the West
And we quested the querulous lone
spheres
That trembled and blinked in the blue
Silence and I, and no answer;
Thro' nebulous voids hence we few,
Der ways that were lone in far heav
ems
Winged Nights overburdened, unborn
That lay in the pathway of crescents
Still swaying there, horn after horn;
Said Silence, Well cease and walk
ever,
Tho reaching no ultimate morn"

Preusser. the Cathedral st. Cloud

St. Cloud: The Rt. Rev. Bishop is
receiving much recognition in all
patriotic demonstrations, not only
locally but also in the surrounding
counties. During the past week he
has given no less than six addresses,
speaking chiefly on loyalty to coun
try, and giving practical and sincere
heart to heart talks to those who
made up the first quota of drafted
men from the local districts. Among
the places lately visited by the Ri
Rev. Bishop we quote Melrose, Clear
Lake and Belgrade. AT the latter
place he organized branch of the
Red Cross and spoke on Red Cross
work.

The War Duty of Boys
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, MILL
TARY LEADERS AND COLLEGE
PRESIDENTS AGREE ON coUN-
Sci AS SCHOOL TIME HAS AR
RIVED.

Should | go back to school this
| fall? Shouldn't | be doing some
thing for my country in the war;"
| These questions undoubtedly are in
| the minds of thousands of American
boys. Upon the authority of the
President, the Secretary of War, the
Secretary of the Navy, the Postmas-
lter-General, other government Off
Gals, war leaders and college presi-
| dents, The American Boy gives the
| answer in it's September issue.
This answer is: do both-go back
to school; that will be a service to
your country-the greatest you can
give"
Such counsel, given on such author
ity, will help to solve a problem that
naturally has vexed not only boys but
parents.
You want to know reasons; you
want to be shown says the magazine
in an article based on the letters of
a score of eminent men, think of
the war first. This isn't war merely
of numbers of soldiers and their sheer
brute force. It's war of trained
men-a war that is fought largely by
mathematicians, skilled mechanics,
electricians, aeronauts, seamen, chem
lists, sanitation experts, surgeons,
business men. Thousands and thou
sands of these educated leaders in the
war have been killed or lost to the
service through wounds; other thou
sands may be destroyed. Who will
take their places if the war con-
tinues long? Certainly it will not be
the boys who have dropped out of
school.
There's another reason-a big one.
The work of the world will go on after
this war has ended. War or no war
there must be skilled mechanics, cleo
tricians, aeronauts, seamen, chemists,
sanitation experts, surgeons, business
men. There will be fewer such after
the war. That means there will be an
unusually good opportunity for you to
gain success and distinction in your
chosen line of work. But you can't
succeed, you can't gain distinction, if
you have been Stacker in school.
THE best reason for your staying
in school we haven't given yet. 1t is
not only that you can earn more
money, when you are man, if you
stay in school; it is not only that YOU
will have a better chance to succeed,
as an educated man, because so many
educated men will have been lost. 1t
is that, after this terrible war with it's
tragic destruction, the world will have
to be rebuilt. That will be your job;
that is, you must do part of the
job Which part will it be? Will it
be an important part because you are
fitted by education to do an important
part, or will you just drift along, do
ing what others tell you to do, fol-
lower, if not a bungler? Going to
school now, this year, and sticking
through, are the first essentials.
Don't drop out. Don't be Stacker.
Don't be gutter. Garry on Do it
for your country's sake

ACTA ct DICTA
CATHOLIC HISTORICAL PUBLIcA-
TlON OF THE DIOCESE OF ST.
PAUL-IT Is A VALUABLE MINE
OF OLD AND RECENT FACTS
AND COMMENTS.

The Catholic Historical Society OF
ST. Paul, which has its headquarters
at the St. Paul Seminary, has issued
the 1917 number of Acta ct Dicta, its
annual publication. This present
issue is number one of volume, five.
The leading article is made up OF
seven chapters of the Life of Bishop
Cretin,' which is being written by
the Most Rev. Archbishop Ireland
The Archbishop herein records the
life of the first Bishop of St. Paul
from the time of his student days in
the Seminary of ST. Sulpice, in Paris,
to the time of his departure from
labor in the United States of America
The narrative presents a picture OF
the state of religion in France in the
first half of the nineteenth century,
and particularly in those regions in
which Father Cretin lived and labor
ed; it unfolds the character of the
young priest, full of piety and zeal;
it recounts the story of his untiring
and fruitful labor, especially in the
city of Ferney, where religion needed
at that time the leadership of one,
energetic, able and devoted, such as
Father Cretin was in unusual measure.
The author traces especially the
termination and the growth, in Father
Cretin, of that missionary spirit, SO
ardent in the priesthood of France,
which made him long for opportunity
to carry the light of the Gospel into
distant lands, which drew his heart
first to the mission work of China,
and which eventually carried him to
America, to labor first as a missionary
priest in the new diocese of Dubuque,
and later as the first Bishop of ST.
Paul.
A secoonu article, entitled "A
Chapter of Catholic Colonization, is
by Hon. William J. Onahan OF
Chicago. 1t records the successful
efforts of the Irish Catholic Colonial
ton Society, of which Mr.. Onahan
was the secretary, to establish Catho-
lie settlements in Minnesota in the
eighties.
Other articles are: ''Titular Bish-
ops of the Province of ST. Paul." by
the Rev. J. A. Bigaouette, and Father
Lacombe, the Black-robe Voyageur,'
by the Rev James M. Reardon.
The section devoted to Documents
contains reprint of lecture de-
livered in Cincinnati in 1863 by Bishop
Baraga of Marquette. Bishop Baraga
was for long years missionary to
the Chippewa Indians. This lecture
deals with the manners and customs
of the Indians as Bishop Baraga knew
them by his long and intimate ex-
perience. Furthermore, among the
Documents are two letters of Bishop
Loras, the first Bishop of Dubuque,
written in 1882 and 1886; they tell
of his missionary work in Alabama.
Still other sections of Acta ct
Dicta are devoted to Contemporary
Items" Obituary Notices." "Our
Library and Museum" and '.Notes
and Comment" This publication may
be obtained at one dollar the copy
by addressing the Rev. William Busch,
the st. Paul Seminary.

which were SO intact when discovered
that a broken arm, reset, could be
distinctly discerned, crumbled to dust
when touched, and only a few of the
larger were saved after their 400
years of entombment They were
carefully placed in a casket. 1t will
be interesting to see who eventually
receives them. Protestants do not
believe in relics, so they should be
handed to the Catholic authorities,
and not be left to the tender mercies
of antiQuaries.

address was given by Joseph Moriarty
of Shakopee. Among the other
speakers were Rev. Fathers Van Den
Heuvel and Coyle of Henderson and
Jessenland

service of their country. This move
ment, along with the donation of
$4,000 to the local Red Cross fund
and a donation of S404.00 to the K. of

ing the loyalty of the order. The

preparations for various functions, the
proceeds of which will be used for
the soldiers comfort.
