Production in Minnesota.
Decrease in three months. 1863 ,5ss

Decrease in three months. 1888
In observing these figures, note that
after July 1 the decrease doubled,
which tells it's own story about the
quantity that has been shipped into
the surrounding dry states heretofore.
While we are talking about de-
creases, the national figures look
pretty good also. In the year end
ing June 30, 1915, the brewers suffered
an enormous reduction in their sales.
In the next two years they increased
slightly, but now they have started
down again, the figures for the last
three months being as follows:
Sales of beer in the United States
in the month of May, 1917, show
falling off .of 733,O7S barrels. In June,
371,717. In July, 875,367. If they go
on at this rate, it will not be long
until the brewers watts and tanks will
be as dry as w. c. T. U. banquet
and the barrels will have to be sold
to ship gasoline.

ACHIEVING SUCCESS.


One Of the most distinguished
and at the same time most pow
erful men in the British Empire
today, is without doubt Lord
Northcliffe, now representing his
government in this country. has
ing from the position Of news
paper reporter to his present sta
ton Of wealth and power, Lord
Northcliffe has made friends and
enemies, but from a human
standpoint he has undoubtedly
achieved success. In view OF this,
it is interesting to read the rules
which he lays down for the at.
tainment of success in life. Here
they are: Concentrate your en-
ergies and work hard. Launch
out in new experiences. Never
be afraid to have the courage OF
your opinions. Fix the lines you
want to travel along, and keep on
them. That s all. >
1t may be doubted if the faith
full following of these rules by
every person will produce such
magnificent results as are appar-
ent in the English statesman. 1t
seems plausible, however, that adj
herence to these precepts must
necessarily ensure a large meas
ure of success in life to anyone
who will conscientiously observe
them. 1t is noticeable that all
successful men attribute their
achievements to hard work. Fix
ing the eye upon some definite
goal, gathering together all the
resources Of mind and soul, and
under this impulse urging oneself
forward on the right path, will 60
far toward attaining success in
life. Opposition will be encoun-
tered, obstacles will rise menac-
ingly before one, hatred, envy,
and jealousy on the part Of small
er minds will make themselves
felt. Firmness Of purpose, how
ever, strong courage and faith in
ones abilities and powers usually
will succeed in dissolving oppo-
sition, and in overcoming and
crushing the snarling and biting
ours of envy and jealousy that so
often seek to impede the progress
of the successful man.
| The true Christian, he who is
convinced Of the superior value
of the things Of the afterlife, will
be enabled to measure worldly
success at it's true worth. While
striving for earthly success, he
will also remember that there is
a triumph awaiting even failure
in this life. For in the nature of
things it is possible that the tri-
umph of failure may be greater
My far than mere earthly victory.
Many a man endowed with abili-
tbs of superior order, overflow
lnsNwith buoyant confidence in
his Success, has been crushed I'M
der the avalanche Of misfortune
and OPPRESSION, only to realize at
death that the losing struggle
which he fSlght on earth has mer-
| tied for himan unending triumph

ATTENDING DAILY MASS.

AS everyone knows, Catholics
are obliged to hear Mass on Sun
days and holy days Of obligation.
This obligation is Of the strictest
nature, entailing the penalty of
mortal sin for a violation thereof.
In the early ages of the faith it
was customary for Christians in
large numbers to attend Mass
daily, and to receive Holy Com
munion. As time passed, however,
the necessities of business and
other obligations have interfered
seriously with the attendance at
daily Mass. As there is no pen-I
atty attached to this OMISSION
Catholics gradually have drifted
away from this pious custom.
Recently, however, an effort
has been made to arouse Catholics
everywhere to the value Of hear
ing Mass even on week days A
Catholic who attends Mass on
Sunday proves his loyalty and
obedience to the Church's COM
mand: one who hears Mass on
week days, however, attests to the
fact that he is thoroughly convinc-
ed Of the wonderful efficacy Of
Holy Mass in itself. In order the
better to encourage attendance at
daily Mass many dioceses have
asked and obtained special indul-
gences for all those who assist at
daily Mass. The granting of this
indulgence affords a special in
ducement to our Catholic people !;
but they should be so intimately
convinced of the value of the
Holy Sacrifice as to endeavor of
their own volition and in virtue
of the infinite merits of Christ to
attend Mass as often as possible.
Nothing, certainly, is more effica-
cious to infuse into the soul the
strength necessary faithfully to
fulfill daily duties and to over
come daily temptations than is
the hearing of Mass every morn
ing. Many Catholics, at slight in
convenience, could, on their way
to their daily business, stop in the
church for a brief half hour and
receive that strength which comes
only from intimate communion
with God ON our affairs. Many
persons, also, whose duties keep
them at home could easily spare
one-half hour in the morning in
order to be present at this tremen-
dous Sacrifice. Especially during
the month Of November, dedicat-
ed to the holy souls, our churches
should show a large gathering of
the faithful who realize the value
of Holy Mass when offered up by
the living for the consolation of
the dead.
The pious Bishop Macs, lately
deceased, of Covington, KY, often
said:
"Thank God, few are the care
less Catholics who neglect to as
sist at the Holy Sacrifice of Mass
on Sundays. This, the highest act,
is appreciated at it's true value. !.
but it is surprising to me that SO
few attend daily Mass. Of course,
you have your household duties
to care for; still I think you could
manage to go to Mass from time
to time on week days. Z Mass is
the renewal Of the Sacrifice of
Calvary. The half hour given to
assisting at it daily will prove to
be the golden half hour of the
day, such an impression it will
make upon your SOUL

There has been scant support
given those who would impugn
the work of the Knights of Co
lumbus, and who have asserted
that the Knights are acting as a
secret society and using the build
ings which they have erected for
lodge rooms where secret meet
ings are held. This was, of course,
officially denied by Col. II. P. Cal
lahan, chairman of the Knights of
Columbus Committee on War Ac-
tivities, and the daily papers, as
we'll as the Catholic press, gave
wide circulation to this denial.

spirit Of the man whose physical

He will recognize the fact that
this great benefactor, while pass

existence, did something more
than his fellows for the welfare
OF the race. He will also admit
that the spirit which actuated
this original still exists, still
throbs with a life and a power
beyond the confines Of time and

to assert, on viewing statue Of

charger, that both Caesar and his

mere non-existence.
The early history of Christian
lty is replete with incidents of
heroism as noble, Of courage as
splendid, Of virtue as exalted, as
can be found anywhere in the hui
man history of the race. The
great Teacher came forth from
Galilee, and flung His doctrines
among all classes of men. From
every class Of human society were
found men and women, young and
old, to accept His teachings, place
them upon their heart, and seal
them with a life of fervent deyo-
ton or a death empurpled in the
martyrs blood. Old men and
youths bowed their heads to the
strike OF the executioner rather
than forfeit the observance Of a

obedience which they owed to

"LoNDoN BRIDGE Is FALLING

In the old college days we used to
sing about it, But we never feared it
would happen London bridge is as
much a fixed feature of that famous
city as the river Thames, across which
it throws it's arches. But other things
are falling down in these days which
seemed not long ago about as perma-
nent as any human construction, and
among the things that are falling, we
know of few that are going down more
rapidly just now than the production
and consumption of beer. The produc-
ton of beer in Minnesota has doubled
it's downward speed since the law went

ment into dry states. For example:
