There were 40 bees at work in the

Sudden Death

Before an insurance company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test your water and re-
port whether you are good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headaches, dizzy spells, or twinges and
pains Of lumbago, rheumatism and govt,
or sleep is disturbed two or three times
q night-take heed, before too late!
You can readily overcome such con-
ditions and prolong life by taking the
advice Of a famous physician, which is !:
"Keep the kidneys in good order, avoid
too much meat, salt, alcohol or tea.
Drink plenty Of pure water and drive
the uric acid out of the system by taking
Anuric, in tablet FORM" You can obtain
Anuric, double strength, at drug stores,

tor Healy's theories, and then ask
yourself if there is a shadow of the
Scotch claim left. Yet we are con-
tinually dinned with the dogmatic
assertion that "St. Patrick was born
in Scotland"
On the other hand, to quote from
Archbishop Healy Of Tuam:
philip 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 ad-
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 a French but
not a Breton birthplace. Doctor
Healy states that his view was n
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 q
captive"
Doctor Healy himself states: cit
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.
He writes as follows in his "St. Pat
rick" "In the absence of any trace
of Bannaventa in north British
regions, we must, l 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

Famous Invocation.

Following is an invocation to the
Shamrock of Luck, common in parts Of
Ireland and the Isles:
Thou shamrock Of good omens,
Beneath the bank growing,
Wherein stood gracious Mary
The Mother of God.
The seven joys are,
Without evil traces,
On thee, peerless one,
OF the SunbeamS-
Joy of health,
Joy of friends,
Joy of kin,
Joy of sheep,
Joy of sons
And daughters fair,
Joy of peace,
Joy of God.
The four leaves of the straight stem,
OF the straight stem from the root Of the
hundred rootlets,
Thou shamrock of promise on Marys Day
Bounty and blessing thou art at all times.

Always of Lofty Ideals.

The Celt undoubtedly was the most
purely moral and religious of all the
barbaric races, and this necessarily
grew out of his lofty IDEAS and lively
Imagination, which demanded pleas
ures of mind rather than thought of
future food and raiment. This made
for improvidence, but who will say the
gain is not greater than the loss?

It. PATRICk'S PLACE
OF BIRTH LONG
IN DISPUTE

, ~ ROM Boston a bitter cry that
! - the mention of a Scotch birth
! place for st. Patrick is not to
be tolerated. The controversy
is an old one, and this is not a place
for taking sides, so we will merely
present the rival views to the inter-
ested reader. 1t would appear that,
, like Homer, more than one spot is
prepared to do battle for the honor
= of being Patrick's birthplace-Scot-
land, Wales and Brittany being all
contestants.
First let our well-read correspond
ent speak:
II have read every author worth
/ reading on the question and with
\ only one desire, namely, to find out
\ the truth, and have no more doubt
! on the question that he was born in
Brittany than have that he was a
!, real live human being. English and
Scotch desire to appropriate every
thing and everybody worth while, is
the cause of the error in the case.
For every line that can be said
about his French birth one hundred
, are written on the British (island)
side, but such claimants have no
: critical argument on their side. 1t
is all part of the sO-called anglo
|. Saxon" propaganda, and hope that
when the paper again alludes to the
! question, it will go into the facts
\ Of the case, which the Scotch claim
! ants never do. See Heating, O'Han-
. lon, Professor Moore (Protestant),
Lannigan, Don Philip O'Sullivan,

Cusack, Father O'Farrell and a host
of others, for the full analysis of
the case. Then read the best that

Ugly Wrinkles
Muddy Complexion
Disappear as IL by Magic Through
DerwilIO Method. One AppIica-
tiOn Proves 1t.

New York: Those interested in re-
moving wrinkles and beautifying
their complexion are invited to try
the new derwillo method, a simple
combination and an effective one. The
very first application will astonish
and surprise you. You will look ten
years younger and the healthy rosy
hue which comes to the skin, and the
improvement in your appearance will
cause you to be envied by your less
fortunate sisters. The formula was
obtained in France from Camille de
Verlac, a famous beauty doctor, who
has made a life study of the subject.
The effect of derwillo method on
wrinkles, rough, sagging, sallow,
ruddy skin, freckles, tan, sun spots
is truly wonderful and will delight
and please those who use It, 1t
makes no difference what you have
tried without success. do not despair,
just follow the derwillo method for a
short time and you will soon be con-
vinced that there is nothing better,
just as good or just like It. It should
be prepared in your own homo then
you will know you have the genuine
article. Unlike many skin prepa-
rations 1t is absolutely harmless and
does not stimulate or produce a
growth of hair.
NOTE-The manufacturers of der
willo are so confident of its efficacy
that IL is sold under an absolute steel
bound money--refund guarantee in
this city by all druggists including

FOOD EATEN RAW,
FEW FAT MEN
IN GERMANY NOW
Swiss Traveller Describes Con-
ditions in Germany at
Present Time

A resident of Switzerland. who
passed several months in Berlin this
summer, writes that what impressed
him the most was the campaign for
economy in everything that pertained
20 food and comfort. The Germans
are making thrift a science, and he
says it is amazing what they have
learned to dispense with and do
without as a result OF the war.
The people of Berlin are eating so
per cent. less than in previous years.
Fat, overfed, ponderous men and
women are no longer seen. If it
could be calculated how much weight
has been lost by each resident of
Berlin the figure would no doubt be
tremendous. and yet the health of
the people is much improved, and dis
eases due to deranged digestion. kid
ney and other troubles have almost
disappeared.
Most food is eaten raw whenever
possible. This is done to save coal
and electricity for cooking. Up to a
year ago Berlin was content to save
ten per cent. on coal, but this winter
the order has gone forth that fifty
per cent. must be saved in order that
Germany may have enough coal to
suIrly her neutral neighbors. Conse-
quontly. Berlin'S lights will he ex-
tinguished as early as 10 o'clock
throughout the entire city. The
merry night life of the city will be
a thing of the past for the present.
The electric street cars, the elevated
and underground roads will also stop
running at that hour.
"One of the most remarkable sights
l saw" writes this Swiss correspond
ent, was the return in December of
$4,000 schoolchildren who had spent
five months on the farms in East
Prussia. They were indeed a healthy
and happy lot of Youngsters. In re-
turn for the money that Berlin had
contributed to the rebuilding of East
Prussia, because of the invasion of
that country by the Russians, the in
habitants offered to board free of
charge for the summer these children
of Berlin. Because of the scarcity
of food thousands of children were
suffering and failing in health, and
this opportunity of going to the coun-
try was hailed with joy. The chill
dren enjoyed their vacation immense
ly, for they were treated with moth
erly care by the women and given
every attention. This was demon
strated by their healthy appearance
upon their return.
In addition to all this. they car
ried bundles and grips containing ap-
pies. pears. butter and eggs for their
parents at home Berlin will never
forget what East Prussia did this
summer for these children. For n
few months at least these youngsters
forgot about the privations and hor-
rors of the war"
