MORE STRENGTH FOR
 FEEBLE OLD PEOPLE

If all the old people in New Brit ain realized what Vinol will do for them, we would not be able to get enough of 1t to supply the demand. We quote from a recent letter re- ceived. from Mrs. A. E. Carson of Kingston, N. Y. She says:-"I am 69 years of age, and had been ailing for a long time with indigestion. got rundown, was weak, dizzy and could not sleep at night. I consulted two doctors who said I had hardening of the arteries and at my age could not expect to be strong again. My daughter would give me no peace until tried vinol. as it had done so much for her. I have taken five bottles and my health and strength have come back, so I ara able to do all the llousework for my family of four, and I am recom- mending Vinol to all my friends"
 The reason Vinol Is so beneficial to old people is because 1t contains the very clements needed to replace declining strength with renewed Svigor, wis.,: beef and cod liver pep tones, iron and manganese pepton- ates. Encyclopedias, and a mild tonic wine.

AMERICA TO HEAR
 ALLIES PEACE TERMS
Each Member of Entente Prepared
 to Reveal Demands 

Washington. April 16.-The near approach of the international confer ence here and the growing certainty that an attempt will be made to har- nfonize the ends for which the Allies are lighting with the principles laid down by President Wilson has de- eloped tho fact that all the Entente nations have informed each other very fully their maximum and minimum terms of peace so that each one has come to an exact knowledge of what the others were fighting for.
 These details, it now seems practi- cally certain, will be disclosed freely to President Wilson in such a way as to comply with the suggestions of his vote of December Is asking all the belligerents for such an avowal. While the Allies in their reply gave a skeleton outline of their terms, it was realized at the time that it was not complete and that it probably con- templated the maximum.
 Discussions here today of Americas probable terms . brought from an official source the statement that this country stood unreservedly on the broad basis outlined in the presidents g two addresses-one to the senate, pro- posing world peace federation, and the other to congress, advising that a state of war be declared. Those terms involve the destruction of the Prussian autocracy, government rest ing on the consent of the governed, freedom of worship, freedom of and access to the seas and world fedora tion to prevent future wars

And all this is beng done in the
sacred name of Liberty. Let instruc-
ton be offset by instruction, as the
printing press is resisted by the print
ing press, and might by force Let
schools be erected beside and con-
fronted by other schools; then we will
believe in that Liberty which is prom
Used us.
But how can we give the sacred
name of Liberty to that impious des-
potism that robs us of the possibility
of performing our most sacred duties
and of fulfilling our noblest mission
on earth, the Christian education of
our children.
ITO our vigorous protest we beg to

This certain Catholic young lady
should not receive the attentions OF
the young man of the case until those
requirements have been satisfied.
Even then, she should try to be guild
by infatuation. This young man de-
fed his Church and gave public scan

apparently, one woman has already
found him unworthy and worthless.
Is It wrong to be careless Of ones
health? s
We are obliged by Gods law to
take ordinary care of our health in
order that we may have the strength
necessary to do our duty to God, our
neighbor and ourselves. In this mat
ter, we are to use common sense
The saints performed many penances;
but they did not attempt these morti-
fications until they had asked and re-
ceived the advice and permission of
one who could advise with authority.
They first gave proof by eXtraordi-
nary virtues that they were called
by God to undergo exceptional pen
ances. You are foolish to be continu-
ally longing for an early death Take
care of your health; preserve your
strength in order to serve God the.
better: live as long as you can-you
will die soon enough.

Christian Science denies the Trinity

AN IRISH CASE
LoUGH DERG is CAUSE OF CON-
TENTION IN IRELAND - AT
TEMPT TO TAKE "STATtON IS-
LAND" FROM CATHOLICS FAILS.

Another attempt to wrest the sacred
ground of Lough Derg, in Ireland, or
rather Station Island of the famous
pilgrimage, from the hands of Catho-
lies has failed. Sir John Leslie re-
Gently brought an action to get him
self declared owner of the island,
which is the resort of so many thou
sands of pious pilgrims between June
and August of every year, when the
famous pilgrimage to st. Patrick's
Purgatory takes place. The people
spend three days in fasting and pray
er upon the island and climb the
mountain. They come from all parts
of Ireland and even from abroad for
this pious purpose. Despite the re-
strictions on train traffic, ETC., caused
by the war, the pilgrimage will be
held as usual this year. Judge Cook
has just decided that Station Island
is the property of the Catholic bishop
of Clogher only, and that Sir John
Leslie has no right of ownership
therein.
The case was heard at the Donegal
quarter sessions Sir John was anx-
ious that it should be understood he
had no wish to interfere with the pill
grimage, but as the judge pointed out,
that was no guarantee that his de-
scendants might not do so or exploit
the island to obtain revenue from the
numerous pilgrims, while fanatic
Protestant could stop the pilgrimages
altogether. Moreover, the plaintiff
could not produce shred of evidence
to show any right to the island Any
rent paid for houses thereon had al
ways been paid to the prior, and the.
religious buildings, including two hos
pieces for pilgrims, shrines to such we'll
known Irish saints associated with st.
Patrick as st. Brigid, st. Brendan and
st. Columbia, have been put up with
money collected and supplied by the
diocese of 9Clogher, which has spent
some 100000 during the past few
years on buildings there The pill
grimage to Tough Derg is one of the
most ancient in the Catholic world,
for it has never been Interrupted since
it was first established in the fifth
century.
