SOULS ENTRANCE INTO BODY
Matter Over Which TheoIogians Have
Differed Since the First Time a
Theory Was Advanced.

DR.. Austin O'Malley of New York
has just revived the ancient discus
sion concerning the moment the hui
man soul enters the body. In an ar
ticle in America he contrasts the two
opposite theories: ~ That of Arts
totle, that the soul is infused about
the fortieth day, to which st. Thomas
Aquinas, st. Anselm, st. Alphonsus
Liguori and most of the medieval NOR
alists and theologians adhered. (2)
That the entrance of the soul is stimuli
taneous with the fusion of the single
nuclei in the two parental germ cells,
to which most modern embryologists,
physicians and moralists give their
adhesion.
Cardinal MERCER and some other
great theologians cling to the Aristotle
liam theory today, basing their belief
on the idea that not until the body
takes actual human form is the
breath of life" breathed into it and Il
becomes "a living SOUL"
But Doctor O'Malley and the embry-
Ologists hold that the earliest embryo
is human being, therefore a body
with human soul.

What the Rabbit Costs Australia.

The state of South Australia has,
since 1891, erected 29,14S miles Of
"vermin fences" enough to encircle
the globe and with the remnant build
double line of fence along the south
ern border of the United States. When
contracts now running are completed
the mileage will be much increased.
New South Wales has expended over
100000 for rabbit determination and
has within it's borders $4,000 miles Of
fence. One of West Australia's fences
extends entirely across the continent.
OF late years the rabbit has been re-
paying in part for his keep-paying
board, as it were, He goes to swell
the total of food exports from the
commonwealth. Along the country
roads rabbits may be seen hung on
the fences awaiting the passage of the
rabbit carts which convey them to the
packing houses to be prepared for
shipment as frozen meat and hides.
Practically all are exported (the Aus
tralians does not eat "vermin''), and
during 1913 frozen rabbit and hare to
the value of 100000 and skins to the
value of 100000 were sent from
commonwealth ports.

Fresh Air for Colds.

Do not make the mistake Of with.
holding fresh air from one who has a
cold. Well-ventilated rooms are neces-
sary. Oxygen is essential.
When the cold is accompanied by q
slight cough it is best to keep the child
in bed, where the temperature is even
and warm, with fresh air.
Rub the chest, neck and back with
capsicum vaseline and plain vaseline,
half and half. Be careful not to get
the capsicum vaseline In the child's
eyes. Camphorated oil and spirits OF

be used instead of vaSeline.

New York-John Moller, Jr., forty
seven years old, is suing his father for

BAKERS BOOST RYE BREAD
Urges Its Use at Least One Meal Each
Day to Conserve White
Flour Supply.

Portland, Ore.-Having agreed not
to take back day-old bread, wholesale
bakers of the Pacific Northwest took
another step in the food conservation
campaign by starting the exploitation
of rye bread as war measure.
The bakers move advises the use
of rye bread for at least one meal
each day, so that the supply of white
flour may be conserved. In recent
demonstrations various ways of using
rye flour were shown to be most pal
atable and the food value of the bread
also is said to favor it's general adop-

CHAPTER XIX.
The Battle From Above.

bS SoAssS tSbb SN1SNSs
The rain had stopped by morning.
to the great relief of Colonel Hing
worth, Severance and Curtiss, and the
| satisfaction Of Helen. There was little
sun to dry the big, red sandstone mesa.
its sides scanned into fantastic shapes,
which rose grandly between the val
ley of the Picket Wire and the ravine
of the Kicking Horse, and which the
young woman intended to cross in her
walk toward the dam with Rodney and
Winters. The siding near the steel
arch bridge was close to the rock wall
of the ravine, which here had been so
| secured out Of the rocky side Of the
mesa by torrents of other days that
it could fairly be called gorge. Con-
sequently the bank Of clouds above the
horizon to the northwest was hid be-
hind the big butte from the occupants
of the two private cars. Although the
day did not promise to be fair, they
had no idea Of the further threat of
storm presaged by the black masses to
| the northwest.
In sandy, porous soils, such as here
prevailed, the rain is absorbed quickly.
| They could traverse the trails carpet
| ed with the needles of centuries that
ran through the dripping pines, with
out getting muddy, and with nothing
more to fear than wetting. Colonel

tons and observations concerning the
progress of work on the bridge Shurt-

ly reserved, frigidly cold and self-con-
| tanned, had work to do at his desk.
The woman and the two young men
were for the dam.
After an early breakfast, therefore,
| the second car was uncoupled, and the
engine backed it down around the mesa
| toward the viaduct twenty miles below.
Rodney and Winters prepared to go
with Miss Illingworth across the wood
ed island, with its cresting of stone,
SO to speak, that lay between the ra-
vine and the valley. The conductor
of the train, local employee of the
railroad, told them that the shortest
way was directly over the mesa. The
sandstone of which this huge mound
was mainly composed had been broken
and disintegrated on all sides by CEN
turtles of erosion and weathering, and
there were practicable ascents and de-
scents at both ends. The nearest ascent
was at the side of the big tableland d.
rectly opposite which the car was
| placed.
The trails through the pines which
covered the hill up to the very foot
of the big butte were unfrequented
and in bad repair, but practicable if
the traveller was prepared for a wet
ting. The shortest and on the whole
