REPULSIVE BILL TO COME
BEFORE LEGISLATURE.

Reports are current to the eff
feet that most detestable propo-
sition will again come up before
the legislature of Minnesota. A
bill that every decent woman,
Catholic or non-Catholic, should
fight to finish. Owing to the
repulsive nature OF the PROPOSE
ton and as the sponsors OF the
bill could not get any member to
present it before the legislature,
it was withdrawn, but it is said
that those responsible for it have
gained courage and will, before
the end of the session, make an
interchangeable effort to successful
ly railroad it through at the last
moment. Their aim is to place
upon the statutes of Minnesota a
bill called by the daily press,
Birth Control" but under what
name its sponsors aim to put it
through is not known. But TIM
der whatever name it may come
up it will be crime against God,
a modern crime of fearful malice
and dreadful consequences, which
seeks to Illustrate the design of
God and contravene His will.
Constituencies men and women,
with no belief in God or a here
after, living mere animal lives, are
touring the country distributing
forbidden literature, i,nparting
forbidden knowledge and in this
city goddess woman lcctured on
the forbidden subject. They are
instructing the women of the land
how to violate the most sacred OF
the laws of nature, how to irus-
trate Gods design and transyrcss
His command: "Incrcasc and
Multiply"
There are hundreds OF wiliully
childless women who tell AL
mighty God to His face: "What
do | care for your command? I
will suit myself, my own con-
venience and my own selhshncss;
| will transgress the hottest OF
natures laws, | will not cooper
ate with You, God, in the creative
act. 1 will enjoy the pleasures of
the world, but | will not assume
the duties and the responsibilities
and the risks of motherhood.
That is the fearful crime
against God, against nature and
against the human race itself,
which is whitening and blasting
the hearts of the wilfully child
less, bringing the curse of God
upon their homes and running
them morally and physically. And
this is what the authors or pro-
moters intend to do to the citi-
zens of Minnesota, their aim is to
induct this vile practice into the
homes of our citizens under the
guise of our state legislature. The
members of this session will as
sumo a dreadful responsibility if
they yield to the will of the de-
signers and aid in the propagation
of this crime, a crime against ma
ture, against God and against the
human race. Would not the hu-
man race perish from off the
earth in a single generation if this

Priest and Dog Parted
Meet Again in France
At Call Of War French Priest, Doing
Missionary Work In Alaska, Left
for the Front Where He Ministered
to the Wants Of the Sick and
Wounded, dering Along
Trenches Somewhere In France
Finds His Faithful Dog In Harness.

Seattle, Jan. 21.-Three years ago,
when all the world was at peace and
when the mere thought of war was
entertained almost with ridicule, a
stalwart Jesuit priest-Father Der.
nard, he was called-worked among
the natives of Alaska at Mary's Igloo.
Ever at his side as an inseparable
companion was sturdy malamute,
larger, stronger and more attractive
than most of the others of his spe-
cies.
Then came the call of war. The
priest. French reserve, heard the
note of the bugle, saw the bleeding
of his country, answered the call of
duty. He left his peaceful work of
saving men in the North to go where
men were being slain.
And the parting will long be remem.
bered by residents of the Northern
camp. Perhaps the tenderest fare
we'll, the most fearful on the part Of
the priest-soldier was to his big dog.
The dog seemed to understand.
Not long ago, Father Bernard, SOL
dierly in bearing, marked by the hard
campaigns he has undergone, yet
brave and fearless, was wandering
along near the trenches somewhere
in France" wrapped in thought. Doubt
less his mind pictured the quiet days
at Mary's Igloo. And perhaps he was
thinking Of his dogs and their stalwart
malamute leader.

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs

The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another. Every one should
adopt diet suited to his age and &C.
cupation. Those who have weak stom-
achs need to be especially careful and
should eat slowly and masticate their
food thoroughly. It is also important
that they keep their bowels regular.
When they become constipated or when
they feel dull and stupid after eating,
they should take Chamberlain Tab
lets to strengthen the stomach and
move the bowels. They are easy to
take ano pleasant in effect.
