THE PRIEST AND The DOCTOR.

Father Timothy Casey cried the
faithful old housekeeer, who had, by
the authority Of long service, acquired
q sort of suzerainty over the good
priests wardrobe, you're not dream
ing of going out to the grand BAN
quet in honor of President Wilson
in that horrid green coat"
'Why, Hannah" said Father Casey,
looking regretfully at the old coat
which had been his companion for
many a season in sunshine and storm,
and which had such a comfortable and
homelike feeling about it, sure you
don't mean to tell me that green is
a color to be ashamed Of"
To this tantalizing remark Hannah's
only answer was a disdainful sniff, as
she bounced out of the room to fetch
his new broadcloth Prince Albert, a
recent gift from the sodality. Father
Casey put on the grand coat with a
sigh and left the house.
The banquet was success beyond
the fondest hopes OF the entertain
ment committee. Next to Father
Casey sat one of the leading ply
sicians of the city, the renowned Doc
tor Bustanoby. Though a non-Cath-
| Ollie he had been for years on mod
erately intimate terms with the priest.
| This evening the doctor had given
| himself up for the first hour or SO to
the pleasures of the table, and now
| he felt in prime condition for a spicy
little discussion of some kind He
saw the opportunity he sought in
Father Casey. Pushing his chair in
a chummy way nearer the priest, he
said:
I Father Casey, you and have met
amid at least thousand varying cir
cumstances during the past years. ]

"These facts prove to any think
ing mind that either the Catholic
Church is the true church, upheld
and guided by the power of God, or
she is the most gigantic fraud ever
devised by the mind of man.
(Which of these two views is the
correct one you do not know, because
you have never investigated the doc
trines and claims of the Catholic
Church. You know the Catholic
Church teaches that every human be-
ing is bound by the divine law to be-
lieve in her and follow her teaching
in all his relations with God, with his
neighbor and with himself If she is
the true Church then you are SHINING
against God, your neighbor and your
self by not obeying her. Hence, it
is your bounden duty to convince
yourself whether she is the true
Church or not. But this you cannot
honestly do without a careful investi-
cation from reliable sources of her
doctrines and the grounds upon which
she bases them. Neither have you
any lawful excuse for neglecting this
investigation. There are numberless
books, for instance, the well known
Catholic Encyclopedia wherein these
things are clearly set forth by men
who knew whereof they wrote. Then
there is the living voice-every priest
in the land is ready for the asking
to give you a detailed course of in
struction."
At that moment the POSTMASTER
raped for silence, and the mayor
rose to address the President. The
next morning when Father Casey was
sorting his mail, the desk telephone
rang.
"This is Doctor Bustanoby," said a
voice; II thought of calling on you
this evening to arrange for a course
| in Christian doctrine
Come right along, doctor, you're
as welcome as the flowers of May,
said Father Casey.

is HISTORY GOING TO REPEAT
ITSELF?

A Another missionary in Japan, this
time FIR. NJ. Steicher, P. T. NJ, OF To-
kyo, is sounding the note of alarm and
asking if history is going to repeat
itself and another persecution set in
for the Christians?
The government has decided that
the late emperor must be adored as
a god many prejudiced persons are
renewing the calumnies against Chris
tianity, and some publications have
gone so far as to print caricatures OF
Our Lord.
These straws show which way the
wind is blowing, and if the law OF re
ligious liberty is once violated no one
knows where fanaticism may lead the
people. Martyrs may not be calico
on to lay down their lives, but the
poor Catholics, still weak in the faith
will suffer much or be forced from
their allegiance to Christianity.

SHORT SKIRTS HIT
BY BISHOP M'CORT
Much of Evil of the Times
Blamed on Women's
Dress

A spirited denunciation OF the short
skirts worn by women was made by
Bishop McCort at all the masses In
the Church OF Our Mother of Sorrows.
A great deal Of the evil of the times,
he said, is due to the manner in which
women dress The bad examples set
TO children. who are becoming sadly de-
ficlent in respect for religion and care
less in conversation, he said, has caused
him to open a propaganda against this
growing improprlety."
The Bishop said that the prevalence
Of certain indecent styles were no ex-
cuse whatever for women appearing
without sufficient clothes, nor would
they excuse them when on the last day
they were held responsible for the sins
they had occasioned others to commit.
Propriety and morality demanded that
woman should be as much clothed as
a man. he said. and she should remem-
Der her obligations quite as we'll as the
other sex
In closing the Bishop said that II the
women of today could look back to their
mothers and grandmothers, going about
with the short skirts and other curtailed
dress which they now wear themselves
they would be shocked The Ten Com
mandments. however, he said, were just
the same now as when they were given
to Moses. and just as necessary to the
women of today as to their grand
mothers. He said he hoped the Catholic
women would no longer wear tho shame
full clothes they had been wearing, which
made them a disgrace TO the faith.

THE GIRL WHO WAS
BORED WITH LIFE
Rv MA SUNDAY

TBSEN as a master of literature and
i Ibsen as n guide for the everyday
life of young women are two very dit
ferent propositions. I have lately had
n unique interview with girl just APP
preaching twenty who waG almost
wrecked in her effort 20 apply the char
acters and standards OF 1bsen to her
own environments.
Marion is dreamy-eyed, wlstful-
faced young woman who has lived most
of her life in a bookish atmosphere.
While her average girl chum was doing
fancy work, Marion would be buried In
the pages of Bernard Shaw or Maeter-
linck. She was not strong girl physt-
cally, and tho family income Was large
enough to permit of her, as an only
child. being pampered and babied at
period when she should have been inn
bibing ideas and inspirations of real lie
instead of obtaining her viewpoint from
the bookshelves of the library.
"Ibsen was always a favoritc author
of mine," she conflded to me- II was
particularly fond of JIedda Gabler.
There was something about her char
acter and the dramatic way she was
presented that seemed to have a weird
fascination for me. DO you remember
the story?"
shook my head with a smile. II
have never read that particular book"
She smiled and went on;
ut seems funny to me now. although
that was hardly six months ago. To
think that n girl of nineteen can per-
suade herself that there is nothing left
in life for her And I was really in
earnest about 1t. That is the queerest
part of IL to me now. ] want to tell
you how the change came about.

physician, who further advises all people

poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, "rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar

CORNS LIFT OUT

This will cost very little bat will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way TO rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.
