SAINT OF CANDY MAKERS
Macarius, Egyptian Man of Fame,
Properly Entitled to Such Honor
as That Name Entails.

Probably few of the confectioners
and candy makers who cater to the
public's "Sweet tooth are aware that
they have patron saint all their own,
but such Is the case. He is st.
Macarius. Macarius was adopted by
the confectioners as their protector
because he himself followed the &C.
cupation of making sweets In Alex
andria before he forsook the world
and it's ways and retired to Thebais
in upper Egypt to live the solitary and
self-sacrificing life Of an anchorite.
Macarius lived in the fourth cen
fury, and, if we may believe the ira
dltions concerning him, he was
champion faster. For seven years, IT
Is related, he lived on q diet COM
posed of raw herbs and pulse. Dur
ing Lent he ate on Sundays, and then
but few cabbage leaves. One of the
remarkable tales told about the
candy saint is that once, having
killed gnat that bit him, he expiated
the "crime" by spending six months
In a marsh, where great venomous
flies abounded subjecting himself to
such torments that he became mass

The trend of this dicussion indi-
Gates the belief among Republicans
that not only their party, but the pro-

that there are no political divisions
among the American people where the

latiOns, but the possibility of the Ger

to Tescind the orders.
La Toilette Would Bar Guns.
Continuing his opposition to Presi-
dent Wilson's policy in breaking with
Germany, Senator r. NJ. La Toilette
has introduced joint resolution pro
Viding: THAT it shall be unlawful, at
time when the United States is not
at war, for any merchant vessel of
the United States to be armed, and to
depart from port of the United
States or any of it's territories or pos
sessions, for port of any other coun-
try, its colonies or possessions"
1t is indicated that the navy depart
ment, while opposed for military rea-
sons to any project of conveying Amer
lean merchantmen, favOrs furnishing
such ships with guns for their own
defense. In as much as the govern
are the only supply of naval guns, it
has been held that obtaining guns
from that source does not alter the
private or commercial character of a
ship.
The enforced idleness of the Amer
lean merchant fleet is viewed with
growing disquiet, and the general view
here is that not only the export trade
but the nations standing before the
world demands that American vessels
continue to ply the high seas without
regard to the German proclamation
u. S. Ships Sail for War Zone.
New York, Feb. 12.-Unless the
United States government provides
conveys or guns and gunners to pro-
tect it's ships, the American line, own
ers of the steamships st. Louis, st.

them across the Atlantic, it was an
nounced here by p. A. S. Franklin,
president of the international Mer-
camille Marine.

line, with a general cargo for Bor-

bound, shortly after 2 p. N. on Satur-
day. The Rochester is the second
American ship to leave this port since
the announcement by Germany on Jan.

The Rochester was followed by the
American steamship Orleans, owned
by the Oriental Navigation company,

crew of thirty-five men, of whom, In
