IRISH LOVE OF EQUALITY
In Some Ways 1t Has Tended to Pre-
vent a Closer Unification OF
the Great Race.

The art and literature of the Celt
naturally is pure, noble, moral. re-
fined and idealistic. Besides, his love
of equality has a leveling effect, and
a tendency to uniformity of social and
economic ideals. This love of equal
lty has, however, prevented a closer
unification of the Irish race in matters
vital to it's independence as a separ-
ate and distinct people. Their sensl-
tiveness, it must be admitted, is the
real reason why, Notwithstanding their
acknowledged valor, they lost their in
dependence; and mainly because OF
this natural instinct, they cannot and
never could accept conquerors or mas
ters with that humility that would
have lulled suspicion and created a
new starting point for a successful
dash and break for independence.
This sensitiveness absolutely prevents
forgetfulness, and the hatred engen-
dered by centuries of persecution can
not be dulled or dispelled by promises
made in extremes. You may clothe
the Irish in rags, as Curran said, but
thew will not wear chains.

DRIVEN FROM THEIR COUNTRY
Barbarous Penal Code Was the Cause
of Many lrishmen Forsaking
Their Own Soil.

Some writer has said "that during
the eighteenth century in Ireland the
chief social feature was political op
preston and emigration" The treaty
Of Limerick was signed October 3
1851, but despite the protests of King
William, who was apparently a brave
soldier and an able statesman, the
treaty was soon ignored as a mere
scrap of paper. The odious, barbarous
prescriptive legislation known as the
penal code was in full swing shortly
after 170O and large cOntingents, rep
resenting the flower of Irish manhood
and chivalry, began to fly to the con
tinent of Europe and the shores Of
America. These unhappy children Of
10, maddened by the English gadfy
fed into all lands, carrying with then
memory that enabled them to recOg.
nize the gadfly wherever encountered
and spirit that prompted them tc
swat it remorselessy whenever il
crossed their path.

DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE
Save Your Hair! Get IS Cent Bottle
of Danderine Right Now-Also
Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing SO destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of it's luster, it's strength and it's very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get d 25 cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take.on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. 1t will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear
ance of abundance; an Incompatible
gloss and softness, but what will
please you most will be after just a
few weeks use, when you will actual
ly see a lot of fine, downy hair-new

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp. Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a. re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.

However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

tor Healy'S theories, and then ask
yourself if there is 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 q
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 a
captive"
Doctor Healy himself states: 'It
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 a Bannaventa in north British
regions, we must, 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 communication from Pro-
fessor Rhys, which led him to add

ST. PATR|CK'S PLACE

" ROM Boston a bitter cry that
- the mention of Scotch birth

is an old one, and this is not place
for taking sides, so we will merely
present the rival views to the inter-
ested reader. It 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 wel1-read correspond

.CANADA'S BONUS
TO FARM LABORERS
Offering 100 Acres to Farm
Hands.

Canada today, with the great de-
-,1and that is made upon it for food
stuffs, finds itself almost in the throes
of labor famine. A novel means Of
solving the problem has been evolved
by the Canadian Government at Ottawa
on Wednesday last, when 1T was de-
cided to practically bonus every farm
hand going to Canada, by giving him
16O acres free as a homestead, and to
allow the time he would be working out
for, the good wages offered, to count as
residence duties on the homestead.
Western Canada has been big pro-.
ducer Of grain and it is estimated that
there is a shortage of over thirty thou
sand men, necessary to produce an av-
erage crop in 1917. This shortage has
been caused by so many young men
having left the farms to go to war, and
it is essential to make an unprecedent-
ed offer of this kind, to fill their places
on the land at once.
1t has been required in the past to
do three years duties on homesteads
to get title, but an additional induce
ment has been offered by practically
reducing this term to two years. AS
explained by an official Of the Canadi-
an Government, Canada's need for
farm laborers is intense, and excep-
tional inducements are being offered
to get the needed farm workers at
once. A farmland will make his en-
try for one of the 160-acre farms, sat-
isfy' the Government that he is work
ing for a farmer and that time will ap-
ply as residence on the land filed for,
Just the same as if he was actually
living on it.-Advertisement.

Ireland'S Patron Saint
- - - - g

CT. PATRICK: "a stone lay deeply
bedded in the clay until one of
strong hand uncovered it, heaved
Il aloft and made it the capstone of a
noble edifice." This is his description
of his life. He was centenarian watt
ing for his death when he wrote 1t, and
to his eyes the career of the Apostle
of Ireland was a blend of human
worthlessness made capable of lofty
achievement by the call of God. 1t is
a great mans humble estimate of his
share in remaking a great nation. And
: tits correct as to the humble beginning,
and the mighty accomplishment, and
the abiding of humility in the bosom
of the man who wrought SO nightly.
Not without reason has the name of
St. Patrick been held in veneration
through these many generations,
There is nowhere teacher whose
services for learning exerted so wide
an influence in a time SO critical for
all culture. There is nowhere states
man whose activity 50 completely
reformed the character of any people.
There is nowhere such national hero
whose fame is sounded across fifteen
centuries and can still stir emotions of
ardent enthusiasm far beyond his
nations shores. There is nowhere a
saint whose teachings are blended like
his with the destinies of his nation, so
that the invocation of his name can be
at once the cry of patriotic devotion
and the expression of religious venera-
tion.-Rev. T. p. McDonough.
