Drink does three things, and lot
cy seven per cent, muscular energy
seven per cent, memory fifteen per
cent. When the blood surges to the
brain with increased velocity, men
mistake this for increased vigor.
. Does prize fighter take three or
four drinks just before entering the
ring? This is your physical answer.
Does the wise student of some diff
ficult problem fill up on booze just
before he begins to investigate?
This is your mental lesson.
Does the champion shot throw in
a couple of cups before taking the
test? This is your accuracy evil
dence.
The common man considers a few
drinks each day harmless because he
is a common man. The specialist,
the expert in anything, knows that
he cannot take booze in his system
and remain up front.
The common man is not up front,
and for this reason figures that it
won't make any noticeable difference
if he does drink some. What reason
ing! If the uncommon, the unusual,
the expert cannot afford to drink,
want to ask you, Mr.. Thirty-dollars-
a-week-man, what right have you
voluntarily to lower your already
low standard?

SISTERS OF CHARITY
THEY RESCUE ALL PATIENTS
WHEN HOSPITAL is DE-
STRoYED BY FIRE.

Sisters of Charity and other at
tendants saved the lives of thirty-fve
patients in the historic All Souls Hos
pital. Morristown, N. J., when fire
swept through and destroyed the
building early April 4. BY the time
firemen reached the building, the
black robed Sisters and their helpers
had carried all of the patients to
safety and none was injured.
The loss is estimated at 100000
The building was erected in ITO, and
for many years served as a tavern.
Many of the officers of Washington S
army stopped there. The building
was to have been abandoned on May
/, when the hospital was to be moved
to a new and larger structure which
is being equipped. The rescued pa
tients were taken to Memorial Hos
lpitals Ssh

INSIDE INFORMATION. "

The Hon. Josephus Daniels,
Secretary of the Navy, spoke be-
fore Methodist audience in Bal
timore on April 5. He is quoted
as saying: Il was born in the
Methodist Church and rocked in
a Methodist cradle, God bless the
Methodist Church. | say here,
not to the discredit of any other
Church, the Methodists have sent
more men into the Army, more
nurses to the front, and more
prayers ascend to heaven through
its worshippers than any other. "
Far be it from us to quarrel
with the Secretary or his state
ment AS a matter of plain ac-
curacy, however, it does not seem
to square with the admission of
Secretary of War Baker that
Catholics have thirty-fiye per cent
representation in the Army. 1t
seems to be rather generally ac-
cepted that Catholics have actu-
ally nearly forty per cent of the
soldiers in the Army, and more
than forty per cent of the sailors
in the Navy. The relative pro
portion of Catholics and Of Meth
odists in this country would seem
to indicate that our claim to 8

high representation, other things
being equal, is based also ON a
mere matter of figures. Catholics
at present in the United States
proper number about eighteen
millions, while Methodists, ac-
cording to DR.. CAROLS estimate
for 1916, number about seven and
one-half millions: In view Of the
fact that Catholics throughout the
country are everywhere praying
for victory, it is rather discon-
certing, if not amusing, to learn
that Methodists are praying near
ly three times as hard as Catho-
lies. Interesting, il true, NJ.
Recently the Literary Digest
quoted an article from the North
western Christian Advocate Of
Chicago, to the effect that Cath
olics number only about twenty
two per cent of the enrolment in
the Army, and the Methodists
about eighteen per cent. 1t is no
ticeable that many Of the camps,
where Catholics predominant from
forty to sixty per cent, are
omitted from the list. This, to
say the least, is very significant.
While unwilling to quarrel or do
anything that might tend to dis
rupt the harmony existing among
all denominations with regard to
the war, we shall be perfectly
satisfied with our present figures
so long as our Methodist friends
continue to pray three times as
hard as we. -

GUILTY BYsTANDERs.

Abraham Lincoln once wrote a
letter, that has become historical,
to Erastus Corning. In the course
Of his remarks the great Presi-
dent used these memorable
words: "TIe who dissuades one
man from volunteering or induces
one soldier to desert, WeakenS the
Union cause as much as he who
kills Union soldier in battle.
The man who stands by and says
nothing when the peril Of his gov
eminent is discussed cannot be
misunderstood. If not hindered,
he is sure to help the enemy
much more if he talks ambiguous
ly, talks for his country with
butts and ifs and lands -
The fact that there are still am
biguous patriots in our midst,
shows that human nature has not
changed much since the days of
81. 1t is difficult to understand
the position Of the mamie calls
himself a citizen-Who can remain
indifferent to the perils or the
needs of his country. Love of
parents is a natural virtue: SO is
love Of ones country. The man
who lacks this virtue in either
case is an unnatural monster.
Nearly two thousand years ago a
certain people lost their national
existence, their right to a flag,
and wandered as strangers on the
face Of the earth. Since that time
these people, the Jews, have
mingled with the various peoples
of earth, identifying themselves
with these nations, retaining Ger.
tain characteristic traits, but
devoid of nationality. Whereso
ever they have made their home
they have been found loyal to the
respective governments.
The guilty bystanders in our
midst, however, are those who
have a flag, a national existence,
but a repugnance for both. They
are like men who would destroy
the ship on which they travel in
order to trust themselves to the
mercieS Of the deep. They claim
protection from a government
which they ridicule and ignore
they despise the country to which
they owe their home and posses
sions: things that were denied
them in the land Of their birth
They take no active part in the
country which shields them, and
they know not the meaning either
of loyalty or of gratitude. If JUS
tlce were meted out to them they
would be deprived of their pos.

ed objects they brought here with
them, headed for Ellis Island, anC

Catholics, at times, through a
spirit of levity or of curiosity, are
tempted to attend these so-called
religious services. The perform
ance usually is made up of three
acts: song, a TRADE against the
Pope, and freewill offering.
Our people should be on their
guard against ''lending aid or

such travesties and burlesque on

Says Joyce Kilmer: Benedict
Arnold was the only man to bring
intolerance into the council Of the
young republic. Benedict Arnold
was the only one of Washington s
officers to suspect and fear the
Catholics. Benedict Arnold was
ignorant in that he did not under
stand the Catholic faith, and
therefore he feared it, and there
fore he was intolerant. 1t was
his cowardice that made him ill.,

.cowardice that made him a

RELIGIOUS FADS.

This great land of freedom, like
Horace s famous mountain, has
brought forth many a ridiculous
mouse-and not a few rats. The
nature OF man, which seems ever
to tend towards righteousness in
some form or other, frequently
SEXES upon the imitation for the
genuine product. Hence it is not
surprising to see people following
strange cults and stranger fads in
the realm Of make-belieye relig-
ION. When the human intellect
was freed" by the great liber-
.ators OF the sixteenth century,
the poor human mind was allowed
to drift on the sea Of uncertainty
andsto attach itself to the hotsam
and Jetsam of former wrecks.
Each adventurer seized upon a
bit OF Wreckage, repaired plank
or two, ran up. a little sail, and
called his raft mighty dread
naught.
1t is not unusual to see a man,
DESTROYS of money or notoriety,
or both, found what he calls a
new religion. If he is more
hardy than other buccaneers he
will style his offspring free
church. Be he ever so ignorant,
inept,. or vulgar, he will succeed
in. drawing about him d certain
number of kindred souls. Some
times he will go so far; as to mix nix

MIXED MARRIAGES.

Olten uOeS Inc CnuFcH WARN
her children against the many
dangers that frequently arise
through mixed marriages. The
non-Catholic party may be up
right, honorable, broadminded
and wholly desirable from every
other standpoint. But the very
fact that a difference of religion
exists is frequently sufficient to
nullify all the good qualities. An
incident Of the loss to religion
through mixed marriages was
cited sometime ago. The death
of Dennis Kelley, a Catholic,
called together seventy-eight chill
dren and grandchildren, all lost
to the Church.
Several weeks ago a Jewish
rabbi in New York City spoke to
his congregation against mixed
marriages. He emphasized the
fact that marriage was a divine
institution, and not merely civil
contract. He added that there is
a human element to marriage
which the law cannot reach, a
side not subject to civil considera-
tions. The arguments which he
used to discourage mixed marri-
agC among Jews seem to have re-
doubled force for Catholics. He
said:
q hold religion a vital institu-
ton of our modern life. Religion
is the foundation of our best
thoughts and deeds.
"Intermarriage between differ
ent religions is discouraged. Ro-
mantle love is often to blame for
the later disasters in the married
state. Romantic love is often a
blind passion. In this temporary
condition the parties thereto
imagine that their feelings are to
last forever. In the happy state
of romantic love the man is re-
garded as a god and the woman
as a goddess.
1t is all a Pigment Of the mag
nation. After all, man is only
man and woman IS only woman
Later comes the higher conjugal
love in which good judgment
lholds sway. If two. intend to
marry and there is difference of
religion between them, there is
but one thing for them to do-to
lay aside the romantic aspect OF
the case and to agree upon the re
ligion they shall follow after THEN
marriage. They must be a unit
on religion or else there will be
no happiness. 1t is better to fol
low experience than romantic
love.
"a marriage of those Of differ
ent faith is a delusion and snare
We have already too many un
happy marriages and too many
| divorces. why take CndnceS Ol
increasing the number?
Nor am | in favor of sacrific
ing any one religion for the gen
eral assimilation; religions, like
individuals, must work out theil
own salvation. Suppose, now
that two persons who are to mar
ry cannot agree on any one re1ig
ion. Then let them be strons
enough to part. Let them look tc

which is for their best welfare
