A MuscLE-sPolLER.

In order to get accurate scientific
results as to what effect alcohol has
on the strength of the human frame,
a number of experiments have been
made by DR.. Destree, professor in the
University of Brussels, and these
have very clearly proved the influence
of alcohol on muscular work.
These experiments took the form of
a series of tests in lifting certain
weight, and the trials of a student
resulted in showing a remarkable diff
ference in the number of points at
tanned after and before taking very
small dose of brandy, these being 1873
as against 223; or supposing he had
been paid according to the strength
of his muscular energy, on the first
day, when the tests were made with
out alcohol, he would have received
twenty-five shillings, and on the sec
ond only sixteen. at
These experiments, DIR. Taylor
pointed out, emphasized the fact that
through the use of alcohol the sense
of fatigue was diminished; and this
was one of it's greatest dangers and
snares, for it gave a person sort of
delusion that he was going to do his
work better, instead of which, when
he put himself to the real test, he
would find that it was impossible for
him to do it SO well.

INEQUALITY
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Dr.. James Henderson,

Some get push while others have a
pull;
Some hands are empty, other hands
are full;
Happy hearts are mingled with those
in distress,
Some hands are grasping, others
raised to bless.
Ills not the worthy fellow we always
help along,
Not the weak we're lifting; rather
tbs the strong;
Seldom word of comfort, kindly we
bestow
On the ones who need it sadly here
below.
Selfishness is written in the hearts of
all,
Sometimes tyrant, that his rulings
pull,
Bittersweet and rue leaves long the
waiting way,
Roses in the far fields, reach them
not we may;
Graves are in the shadow just be-
yond the hill,
Some with hoary tablets, others yet to
fill.
Pull or push we get there, every
one in turn,
Each one empty handed there TO praise
or spurn. II.

We are told that two recent
issues of Tom Watson's "Jeffer-
Sonian" were unavailable because
of certain Objectionable matter
relating to Selective service. Wat
son S publication has not had
plain sailing since it began to at
tack the Catholic Church and it's
representatives; but it managed to
escape conviction and debarment
from the mails. Now that it has
become as openly anti-American
as it is anti Catholic it is not likely
that it will enjoy much longer the
second class privilege accorded to
reputable publications under the
postal regulations. 1t will be
easier to secure conviction for
reasonable utterances than for
anti-Catholic denunciation. The
plea of free speech will not save
it when the good of America is at
stake.

The conviction of Mrs. Sanger,
the notorious birth control advo-
cate of New York, who was
sentenced to thirty days in the
workhouse for maintaining birth
control clinic, was upheld by the
Appellate division Of the Supreme
Court on August l. This expo
nent Of an immoral fad, who is
having difficulty in forcing her
views on an intelligent public,
finds that it is hard to get around
the law when it is in harmony
with common sense.

SELECTING THE SCHOOL.

By this time the average parent
has made choice of the school
which the boy or girl, the young
man or the young woman, is to at
tend next year In some cases this
choice has been made wisely.
There are many Catholic parents
who are so imbued with the idea
Of their faith and it's value that
they judge all things pertaining to
the soul or to eternity by this sole
standard. They realize the i'm
portance Of religion in the
spiritual life Of the soul, and the
relative necessity of cultivating
that spirit in congenial atmos-
phere. They would no more ex-
pect their child to thrive intellec-
tually and morally in goddess sur
roundings than they would expect
him to become strong and vigor-
Gus in a mephitic atmosphere. For
this reason the choice Of a school
for their child is but a question of
selecting this or that particular
Catholic institution.
There are other Catholics, how
ever, who seem to look upon their
Church in the light of a club or
ordinary society. For them it APP
pears to be good form to remain
in the religion in which they were
born, and to live more or less ac-
cording to it's precepts. The obi
cations of the faith, however, rest
but lightly upon them. That which
is paramount in their thoughts is
social standing, financial prestige,
or an advantageous marriage, ir-
respective Of religious considera-
tions. Such persons omit religion
entirely from their plans in con-
.sidering a school for their chill
dren. Their ignorance is Of the
Grass, stupid, objectionable kind.
They know well that morality and
religiousness cannot hope to
thrive in conditions inimicable to
such growth. Apparently, how
ever, morality and righteousness
are, in their minds, secondary to
material advantages, In their
own lives religion means little,
morality, probably less. For this
reason they cannot see the neces-
sity for safeguarding in their chill
dren that which they hold so light
ly in their own lives. Even they
with their slight knowledge will
admit the uselessness Of the old
objection that Catholic schools
are inferior: they know the con-
trary to be true. In the majority
of cases they can have no valid
reason for consigning their chill
.dren to a school where God is not
considered as worthy of mention
as are the so-called heroes of
mans history. If those children
thus exposed to spiritual and
moral ruin eventually bring dis
grace and dishonor upon them
selves and such unnatural par
ents, every sane thinker will sym
pathize with the youthful victims,
and will abhor and abominate as
something foul and unclean the
heartless creatures whom nature
has named parents, but whom God
and reason will probably brand as
criminals.

1t will thus be seen that the diplo-
matte corps actually at the Vatican
consists of two ambassadors, and
fourteen ministers, representing as
many independent nations.
Of the coutries represented twelve
are Catholic, three Protestant, and
one Orthodox Greek. Official union of
State and Church, though other relig-
ions are tolerated, exists in several
of the countries mentioned, such as
Argentina, Chile. Colombia, and Peru.
Besides these official representatives,
accredited to various governments, the
Holy See extends it's spiritual in
fluence over the world by means Of
its Apostolic Delegates who serve as
links in the chain of a closer union
between Rome and the faithful of the
respective countries, though they pos
sess no official character with the gov
ernments of those countries.
The Pope has around him prestige
of dignity and antiquity of which no
other potentate can boast. No ruler
has ever been called upon to solve
such delicate questions in the course
of a long history, nor has any country
accumulated such rich and venerable
archives replete with information like
the Vatican. The Holy Father is as
sisted by an efficient body of men ex-
pert in civil and canon law, and in in
8ternational jurisprudence not only in
Rome, but everywhere; for he can do
what no earthly ruler can derive as
sistance from every part of the world.

FEIGNS BLINDNESS, is FREE
French Professor in Military Prison
Decelves Germans by Remarkable
tAIiIi pN.A5ar

Paris.-A professor of the SarbOnne,
the great French university, recently
obtained his release from German
military prison by remarkable exer-
else of will power. He fell into the
hands of the Germans in 1915. Decld-
ing at once to get free In some way,
he feigned blindness.
From that time it was impossible for
the German military doctors or eye
specialists to catch him off his guard.
They subjected him to the severest
known tests. He was tortured by sci
entific ways of verifying sightlessness,
but never once departed from fixed
blank gaze.
He was finally declared totally blind,
and included in recent exchange Of
permanently disabled prisoners.

A Christmas Package for the Soldier Boy

Just now the people OF the United
States are engaged in making up all
over this land little packages contain
ing useful toilet articles, usually with
one or two packages Of some kind OF
sweets and writing material, to be sent
to our soldier boys in war service
across the water, and to those in this
country who expect to go to the fight
ing front soon. True, there is scarcely
anything but sentiment in all this, but
it is worth the price. 1t will carry the
thoughts of the recipient back to child
hood days, when he laid great store
by these things. Recall your own
childhood days and the thrill Of pleasure
a gift brought Christmas morning. The
receipt of these reminders OF other days
and friends back at home will make OF
our soldier boys better men, better
soldiers. 1t will purify their Thoughts.
The saddest thought that comes to
us as we pen these lines is the possibility
that one may be forgotten. Did you
ever see child surrounded with other
children that had all beer remembered
by gift OF some kind and himself for
gotten, if you have you can imagine
the feelings of the soldier who has
been forgotten. May not one be for
gotten on Christmas morning, is our
sincere wish.
