"CARABED' A CLOSED BOOK
Committee Agreed Not to Divulge
Principles on Which Based

Boston, Aug. 12.-Edward f. Miller,
Of Newton, Mass. a member of the COM
mittee of engineers who reported un-
favorably on "Garabed," refused to dis
cuss the matter further. He said:
so far as any action on the part of
the committee, either individually or col
lectively is concerned, the Garabed affair
Is a closed book. We were asked to
make an investigation of Mr.. Glragos-
SLAMS so-called invention and we did So
We reported the principles on which 1t
was based were unsound. I have moth
ing to add to that statement. By that
l mean the committee agreed not to
divulge the principles on which 1t is
based"
Relative to the report, there is great
tock-selling clique behind "Garabed.' -
Mr.. Miller said:
IF the American public. once having
had a look at Mr.. Giragossian's model
Is foolish enough to put money into It,
all right. That's their lookout. They
will be the kind of people who believe
they can pull themselves up by their
bootstraps."

LOYALTY TO THE PASTOR.

Be loyal to your pastor. His
work is to administer to your
soul, not to please you. When
his work is done God will remove
him. Until then do all you can to
uphold his hands, advises. a
writer. Be regular in attendance
to church services, and not salts
fed with simply one service a
week. Bear your fair share of the
financial burdens of the parish.
Do all in your power to promote
peace and goodwill among your
fellow laborers. Be not harsh in
your judgment of others. Look
within. Do not gossip. Learn
what the Church teaches and re-
quires. Take a Church paper.
Show constant respect and defer
ence to those set over you in the
Lord. Perform the duty that may
be assigned to you with cheerful
ness and promptness unto the
Lord. Aim to be useful, not
prominent or conspicuous. Show
deep personal interest in the
spiritual welfare of your chill
dren. Especially "take care
that they be given a Catholic edu-
cation. Give these rules fair
trial and watch the result.

It used to be said that every
private in the army of the great
Napoleon carried a marshal's bat
on in his knapsack. It was by the
record that they made on the bat
tlefield that the soldiers of Ma
poleon were promoted, and it was
possible for a private to reach the
highest honors. An observer now
notes that there is no reason why
every chaplain in the army should
not carry a crozier in his chap
lain'S kit. The records which
many of them are making, the de-
votion, the zeal, the courage, are
fitting them for high honors on
their return. They who make the
sacrifices should, other things be-
ing equal, be among those who
reap the reward.

ADVOCATES TEMPERANCE.

Father Lackington, Provincial of
the Society of Jesus in Australia, is
an opponent of Prohibition, though
strong advocate of temperance, says
the Ave Maria. He travels much and
is often staggered" he delares, at
the amount of drunkenness he wit
nesses in prohibition towns He holds
that the surest way to prevent intoxi-
cation is to teach people to practice
temperance, and is evidently of
opinion that there wouldn't be so
many persons everywhere wanting to
sell liquor if there weren't so many
persons everywhere wanting to buy
it. In lecture delivered in Sydney
some time ago he related little story
in which he said there was much
philosophy.
A stranger, arriving Unexpectedly in
a prohibition town, wanted to know if
he could get drink anywhere. Some
one said: GO down to the druggists.
That's the only place you can get it."
Off he went; and when he got there
the druggist asked: Are you ill, sir?"
-"No."-"Have you been bitten by a
snake? "-"No. The druggist shook
his head, and said these were the
only conditions on which the law al
lowed him to sell drink. But he added
quickly: There's farmer about
three miles out of town who keeps a
snake, and if you go out there and
get bitten, I'll be able to give you a
drink on your return" The fellow
started out on his three-mile journey,
but came back without being bitten.
why, the druggist asked, wasn't
the snake on duty? 1t generally -
''The snake was there all right, but
there was string of people three
quarters of mile long, waiting to be
bitten the thirsty man replied. Il
went in to see if could do anything
with the farmer, but he told me the
snake was booked weeks ahead -
Stranger" whispered the druggist,
you look as if you were suffering
from heart failure or something. I'll
risk it, anyway, and let you have
drink"

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
HOSPITAL COMMISSION WARNS
AGAINST BOOZE.

"The prevention of the excessive use
of alcoholic liquors" is the first of five
definite steps in statewide campaign
for the prevention of mental diseases
recommended by the New York State
Hospital Commission in it's annual re-
port just submitted to the state legis-
lature
while the number of alcoholic adj
missions to the state hospitals is
steadily and substantially decreasing"
says the commissions report, there
Ia still room for further improvement.
This is shown by the fact that there
was total of 684 patients with alco-
holic psychoses admitted to the civil
state hospitals during the year. These
constitute 78 per cent of all admis-
sions." 5F ~ '
Under the Commissions classical
ton this 7S per cent represents only
those cases In which the use of alco-.
holic liquors was an geological" or
casual factor, and does not include
| a larger percentage of cases in which
the use of alcohol Is contributory
| factor.
The care OF the insane last year cost
the state $8,383,616, according to the
report, which estimates the yearly
economic loss to the state through
mental disease at $35, 100000 The net
| increase of patients in the civil hos
pitfalls for the year was Liza, in the
hospitals for the criminal insane, 81,
and in private institutions, 8; making,
a total increase of 1888. The per
capita cost of maintaining the insane
for the year was $219.16.
The commissions report shows that
the thirteen civil hospitals are housing
37,069 patients, or 5,807 more than
they were built to accommodate.
! Pointing to 20 per cent overcrowd-
ing and an ever-increasing insanity
rate, the report expresses the belief
that nearly half the cases of mental
diseases are preventable, and makes
five definite recommendations in this
connection.
After listing as it's first recommends
ton "the prevention of the excessive
use of alcoholic liquors." the report
urges checking the ravages of syphilis,
which it says is responsible for fifteen
per cent of the mental diseases admit
ted to the state hospitals; the teach
ing of mental hygiene, along with
physical hygiene, in the public schools /;
the elimination of extreme poverty,
pauperism, and distress; and the ex-
tension of social work in behalf of the
FOL of iota
vision of mental clinics, for the treat.
ment of incipient cases of nervous and
mental disease.

AN ANONYMOUS NUISANCE.

From time to time one of the
special joys Of an editor is to
read criticisms Of his work. At
times he is praised and lauded to
the highest heavens; again he is
pictured as the most inefficient
man in existence. Being harden
ed to both praise and blame, such
illusions fail to touch him. Once
in a while well-meaning reader
will take it upon himself to send
in a suggestion which he thinks
will help to better his favorite pa
per. The editor may or may not
agree with him, but he is always
grateful to think that a reader
will take sufficient interest to even
write his views. In all such cases
the writer, being a lady or gen
tleman, invariably signs the COM
munication.
In the human zoo there are not
only lions, tigers and eagles, but
also foul birds Of prey and fetid
quadrupeds. Among these latter
is the cowardly whelp who sends
anonymous letters of complaint to
editors. The venom and malici-
BUSINESS of the writer is always
equalled by the cowardly manner
in which he seeks cover, some
times even pretending to borrow
ed dignity the better to conceal
his real identity.
Let it be said once for all that
every newspaper worthy of it's
name welcomes fair suggestions
and impartial criticism. No pc
riodical, however, relishes the idea
of being made the vicim of a stab
in the back, when such an attack
comes from ignorant, cowardly
and malicious sources. If the
anonymous writer thinks he has a
grievance let him in common de-
cency make himself known. The
only ones who are ashamed of
their names usually are Jail birds,
criminals and ignorant scoundrels
like the one who sends an anony-
nous diatribe to a newspaper.
When he halls from nearby ken
mel, as a recent cur of this species
does, it is not difficult to track
him to his lair. In this case, sat
verbum.

MILK VS.. BOOZE.

Milk builds up the human body in
the same way that booze destroys,
according to w. E. Skinner, general
manager of the National Dairy Show,
the biggest of it's kind, which was held
in Columbus, Ohio, this year. In an
informal talk with newspaper men he
declared that the big steel companies
over the country, particularly in and
near Chicago, are selling milk at cost
to their employees to prevent them from
going to the corner saloons. to buy
booze. He said:
Men soon go to pieces who drink
liquor after working over hot fires.
The fires start them on the decline and
booze finishes it. On the other hand,
the manufacturers have found that
milk not only rebuilds the tissues and
overcomes the harm the heat and the
flames have done, but it keeps the
man away from BOOZE Milk, in this
case, does double duty"

IMPORTANT TO CLERGY AND
WAR WORKERS.

1t is already known that the
United States government has ap-
proved a combined drive of seven
organizations for a grand welfare
fund for the benefit of enlisted
men. The amount to be raised is
$17O,5O0,000. The state of Mime
sofa will raise $3,900,000. The
campaign will open ON November
IL. Funds will be solicited by
various war workers in the name
of the united drive, not in that
of any one organization.
The knights of Columbus will
receive thirty millions as their
share of the grand total. The
bishops of the country have urged
upon Catholics the obligation of
contributing their part towards
this fund. Cardinal Gibbons says
While it remains true that
there will be a merging of forces,
and no mention made of Catholic,
non-Catholic or Hebrew activity,
a magnificent opportunity is here
presented of adding glory to the
Church. The sum awarded to the
National Catholic War Council
from the full amount to be collect
ed is thirty millions Of dollars. 1t
is highly important, therefore,
that every effort be made to raise
our quota, so that all may see how
dear to our hearts is the cause of
liberty, justice and freedom. y
In order to assist the workers
in this campaign there has been
organized a United War Work
Campaign Publicity Department
The. Minnesota branch Of this de-
partment is anxious to do all in its
power to further the efforts of the
Jealous workers. 1t is desirable
that the Catholics Of this state ex-
ert themselves to the utmost in
order that Minnesota may make a
showing equal to the best in the
country.
The Minnesota Publicity De-
partment has offered it's services
to all workers. 1t is earnestly re-
quested that items Of interest per-
tanning to Catholic activities in
this city be transmitted to the
proper authorities. Hence news
Of our Catholic organizations, So
cieties and parishes in this state,
especially as it brings in names OF
prominent men over the state
should be sent at once to the rep
resentative Of Catholic interests
in this work, Rev. c. F. McGinnis,
care The Catholic Bulletin. 1t is
hoped that both pastors and vari-
Gus societies will forward any
news they may consider to be of
interest, and this will Immediately
be transmitted to the proper au-
thOrities.
