Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

There is nothing so destructive to

ness and itching of the scalp. which
if not remedied auses the hair

IRISH LOVE OF EQUALITY
In Some Ways It Has Tended to Pre-
vent a Closer unification OF
the Great Race.

The art and literature of the Ceit
naturally is pure, noble, moral, re-
fined and idealistic. Besides, his love
of equality has a leveling effect, n
n tendency to uniformity of social n
economic ideals. This love of equal
ity has, however, prevented a closer
unifcation of the Irish race in matters
vital to ii. independence as a separ-
ate and distinct people. Their ems

real reason why, Notwithstanding their
acknowledged valor, they lost their in
dependence; and mainly. because OF
this natural instinct, they cannot n
never could accept conquerors or mas
ters with that humility that would
have lulled suspicion and created a
new starting point for a successful
dash and break for independence.
This s-ensitiveness absolutely prevents
forgetfulness, and the hatred engen-
dered by centuries of persecution can
NOT be dulled or dispelled by promises
made in extremes. You may clothe
the Irish in rags, as Curran said, but
they will not wear chains.

DRIVEN FROM THEIR COUNTRY
Barbarous Penal Code Was the Cause
Of Many lrishmen Forsaking
Their Own Soil.

Some writer has said ''that during
the eighteenth century in Ireland the
chief social feature was political OPP
preston and emigration" The treaty
of Limerick was signed October 3,
1851, but despite the protests of King
William, who was apparently a brave
soldier and In able statesman, the
treaty was soon ignored as a mere
scrap of paper. The odious, barbarous,
prescriptive legislation known as the
penal code was in full swing shortly
after 100, and large contingents, rep
resenting the flower of Irish manhood
and chivalry, began to fly to the con
tinent of Europe and the shores of
America. These unhappy children Of

a memory that enabled them TO recog-
nize the gadfy wherever encountered,
and a spirit that prompted them TO
swat it remorselessy whenever it
crossed their path.

WAR MAKES MEN EPILEPTlc
And Others InvaIided From the
Trenches Are Constantly Haunt
ed by Fear.

Som of the effects of warfare on
man-effects which usually are not
given wide publicity, are revealed in
an appeal in the London Times by
Lieut.. Col. Sir John Collie for the es-
enlistment of an institution where the
tangled nerves of w~ar-shaken men may
again become normal. Sir John wants
TO place these victims in a home in the
country where quiet may be able to
overcome their Authorizations.
Men do not suffer in the same way
as the lower animals" he says. For
Instance, many men invalided out of
the service are haunted by an appre-
hension of transcription"
The men fear that they will have to
go back and face the enemy. Their
brains are clouded and they do not
realize that they cannot again be
called upon to serve. So they live in
constant fear.
Another distressing result of trench
Warfare is the comparatively large
number of men returning from the
front who suffer from epilepsy and
hy~steroepilepsy. Much of the epilepsy
is due to injury, the doctors say, and
the hysteroepilepsy is laid to the stress
the men are under at the front.
SO many of these epileptics have APP
peared since the war began that plans
Tor a farm colony for the incurables
among them are being made.

if st. Patrick had been born in what
is now called Scotland or Britain,
in neither case could it be claimed
that he was what is meant by either
of the modern terms, "Scotchman"

Sure Test of Diamond.

The fact that real diamonds are
phosphorescent after being treated in
the following amer is said TO make
the following test a sure one: First
of all, expose the stone for a few min

Then rub briskly on wood or metal.
Now take it into a dark place, when

|or Healy's theories, and then ask
Yourself if there is a shadow of the
fcotch claim left. Yet we are con-
fnually dinned with the dogmatic
assertion that "St. Patrick was born
b Scotland"
: On the other hand, 10 quote from
Archbishop Healy of Tuam:
phillip o'Sullivan Beare, a man
of learning and authority, declared
that Patrick was born in Bretagne.
He was the first writer of note who
put forward that opinion, for no an
cient writer known to us ever adj
vanced it," The difficulty has been
to settle where exactly Bonnavem
Taberniae is, which is the town Pat
rick mentions in his Confession
as his home.
Lannigan believed in q French but
not a Breton birthplace. Doctor
Healy states that his view was a
modification of O'Sullivan's. "He
says that the Bonnavem Taberniae
of the confession was the same town
as Boulogne-sur-mer, in Picardy and
was the birthplace of our saint. But
the confession does not state that
Bonnavem Taberniae was Patrick's
birthplace, but that it was the place
where his father had a villa from
which he himself was carried off a
captive"
Doctor Healy himself states: 1T
appears to us to be quite clear from
the account the saint gives of him
self that he was a native of the Ro-
man province of Britain, and in all
probability was born on the banks
of the Clyde in Scotland"
To turn now to, Professor Bury.
Tie writes as follows in his "St. Pat
rick: !" I'm the absence of any trace
of a Bannaventa in north British
regions, we must, / think, give deci-
sive weight to the general probabili-
ties of the case and suppose that
Bannaventa was south of the Wall
of Hadrian somewhere in western
Britain, not far from the coast"
After his book was in press he
received a communication from Pro-
fessor Rhys, which led him to add
