fit closely and Is mounted on brass
hinges, and can be fastened with a
wooden latch. The bottom is fitted
solid, but the top should be covered
with screen wire. Adjustable shelves
can be made Of solid wood or strips,
or sheets Of galvanized metal. Shelves
made of poultry netting on light wood
on frames, as shown in the illustra-
ton, are probably the most desirable.
These shelves rest on side braces
placed at desired intervals. A bread
baking pan, II by Is inches, is placed
on the top and the frame rests in a
Il by IS inch pan.
All the woodwork, the shelves and
the pans should receive two coats of
white paint and one or two coats of
white enamel. This makes a very at
tractive surface and one that can be
easily kept clean. The screen wire
also may receive the coats of enamel,
which will prevent it from rusting.
A cover of canton flannel, burlap. or
duck is made to fit the frame. Put
the smooth side out if canton flannel
is used. 1t will require about three
yards of material. This owe is but
toned around the top of the frame and
down the side on which the door is

eyes or large-headed tacks and eye
lets worked in the material. On the
front side arrange the hooks on the
top Of the door instead Of on the
frame and also fasten the cover down
the latch side of the door, allowing a
wide hem of the material to overlap
the place where the door closes. The
DOR can then be opened without un.
b%uttoning the cover. The bottom of
the cover should extend down into
the lower pan. Four double strips,
which taper to s or 10 inches in width,
are sewed to the upper part of the
cover. These strips form wicks that
dip over into the upper pan.
The dimensions given make a re-
frigerator of very convenient size for
household use and one with efficient
evaporating surface, but it is not nee
essary to follow strictly these dimen-
sions. If a larger capacity is desired,
the height of the refrigerator can be
increased.
When the refrigerator is placed in
a shady place in a strong breeze and
the air is warm and dry, evaporation
takes place continuously and rapidly
and the temperature inside the refrig-
orator is reduced. Under ideal condi-
tons the temperature has been known
to be reduced to so degrees F. When
it is damp, and the air is full of mois-
ture, the refrigerator will not work
as well. since there is not enough evap-
Grafton. More water will find it's way
to the lower pan, but it will be drawn
up into the covering by capillary at
traction when the air again becomes
drier.
The refrigerator should be regularly
cleaned and summed. If the framework,
shelves, and pans are white enameled
they can more easily be kept in a san
itary condition. 1t is well to have
two covers, so that a fresh n can
be used each week and the soiled one
washed and summed.

HOW IT FEELS

Is A Question Frequently Asked the Soldier and Which Is Elk
 plained Here.

Somewhere in France, Sept. 1.- Correspondence of The Associated Press )-"What does it feel like to be shelled or bombed?" is question which many people at home ask of American soldiers in their letters.
 Bombing has one marked difference from shell-fire. When bomb has ex- ploded, soldier can be fairly sure that the worst is over, whereas when shell explodes, the first shell pres ages many successors. Shells, like troubles, never come singly.
 Few soldiers try to pretend that they like shelling or even that they are indifferent to it. Many of them admit that nothing makes them more nervous than desultory shell-flre. They may try to appear apathetlc- they generally light cigarette it is altogether a poor performance.
 The absurd part of 1t IS that the slightest cover makes the soldier quite himself again. It is the instinct of the ostrich. It is almost humorous to see what shelters men will run to Ii

Well, didn't tell you where l am. I am in England, and that's about all can tell you about it. I've learned lot about England that I never knew before. One is, they have the habit of turning to the left in the roads instead of the right as we do. That seems like little thing, but it is one of the first things you notice. Another thing have learned is that England is very beautiful country. Of course there are no forests, but plenty of shade and ornamental trees. The country is what we would call hilly or rolling, but there are no rocks or woods. The streams are the dearest ever saw. and the people are the picture of health. I first thought everybody had paint on their faces, but it is a nat ural color. Two more odd things are the trains and the absence of wooden buildings. The railroads are narrow guage, and the cars have doors on the sides like box cars. You cannot go | from one coach to another without I getting off the train. They have first, second and third class trains and three classes of waiting rooms at the stations. Those little trains run though like the devil.

BATTING CATHOLICS.

Catholics all over the world are
disturbed at the injection of a
definitely anti-C Catholic propagan-
da into the already sufficiently
confused war situation, observes
America. With supreme indigna-
ton they behold the malicious
grouping in the Allied press of
!" Anarchists, Socialists and Cleri-
GALS" as alleged accomplices for
the undoing of Italy.
The feeling engendered by the
existence of such a propaganda
is not allayed by the disclosure of
a secret treaty apparently binding
the Allies in advance to a policy
of ignoring any diplomatic move
by the Pope in the direction of
peace. Tt falls with sinister fdel-
ity into tune with the almost
unanimous charges IN the press of
the Entente nations, since the re-
cent heartrending disaster to our
gallant Italian ally, that the

Mother Mary Ascension
sUPERloR-GENERAL CELEBRATES
JUBILEE-MANY PRIESTS WERE
FORMER STUDENTS.

The golden jubilee of Mother Mary
of the Ascension was observed Thurs
day morning, December 13, at Mount
Carmel, Dubuque, the motherhouse of
the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed
Virgin Mary. There was a solemn
High Mass, in which three of the ven
orable Sisters pupils assisted.
Rev. William Foley of st. Ambrose's
Church, Chicago, was celebrant of the
Mass; Rev. John Gregory, c. NJ, De-
Paul University, deacon; Rev. James
Hynes, Our Lady of Angels Church,
Chicago, subdeacon. The sermon was
delivered by Archbishop Keane, in
which he gave splendid praise to the
jubilarian for her half century of serv-
ice in the cause of Christian education.
Mother Ascension has the record of
having twenty of her former students
now priests, and hundreds of kilograms
and letters of congratulations were
received from students and friends
scattered throughout the United
States.
No name in the history of the order
is held in greater affection and esteem
than that Of the fourth superior gen
eral, Mother of the Ascension, and the
wish of her legion of friends is that
she may live to celebrate many an
niVersaries.

ALCOHOL AND WAR.

At the annual Convention of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union
of Connecticut, held short time
ago in Derby, the president, Rev.
John J. Fitzgerald of New Brit
ain, in his address, said:
In laying their plans for the
conduct of this mighty war the
men of the nations on whose
shoulders rests the responsibility
find themselves confronted by the
problem of drink, and publicly
acknowledge that the consump-
ton of alcohol must be diminish
ed; that a drunken soldier is a
hindrance instead of help; and
that the nations that are sober are
the nations that will eventually
win.
And as alcohol takes about
the same toll from America and
the other nations, we can estimate
the vast number Of fighting men
lost, and can readily understand
why our Government is contem-
plating means for curtailing the
influence of this destructive pow
er. !"
One of the great lessons which
probably will long remain in the
world as one of the beneicent re
suits OF the present war is the
sane appreciation of the rightful
place which alcohol holds in the
scheme of world economy. The
various governments engaged in
the great conflict Of warning ma
ltions realize that while alcohol
may prove Of the highest value in
the manufacture of explosives and
munitions, it has most disas-
Itrous effect when taken freely
into the human system. Science
has shown that alcohol is poison
to flesh and blood. Unlike other
poisons which sometimes may be
taken III small quantities into the
stomach and there neutralized by
other elements, alcohol gets in its
work without opposition or the

Catholic Italian Congress
CATHOLIC ITALIANS HOLD CON-
VENTION-FIRST CONGRESS OF
ITS KIND HELD IN NORTH
AMERICA.

The first Catholic Italian Congress
of North America was held in New
York last week and was attended by
nearly four hundred Italian priests.
The Apostolic Delegate to the United
States, Archbishop Bonzano, attended
the sessions and took a keen interest
in the subjects discussed. The con-
gress routine was divided into four
sections, three of which was devoted
to the discussion of topics beneficial
to the Italians in America.
Over the first section, the Very Rev.
Ernest Coppo, S. c., of the Salesian
Order, presided, and his plans, which
were unanimously adopted, dealt with
the unity Of the clergy. The second
section concerned the active work Of
the clergy with the people, with the
recommendation that the priests keep
in constant touch with the parishiOn-
ers and with the thousands of Italians
who are not practitioners of their
faith. The third recommended the es-
tablishment of an Italian Catholic
daily and the dissemination of re-
ligious and moral literature generally.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
ALcoHoL's DISCRIMINATING
EFFECT.

Vance Thompson, in an essay en-
titled Drink and Be Sober" says
Alcohol is a curious thing. 1t is
often as erratic in it's manifestations
as electricity. It's ordinary way of
work is to degenerate its man, max
ing for general organic degeneracy,
with progressive waning of the in
tellectual faculties. Now and then it
has another way Instead of slowly
numbering it's man, it attacks him
furiously at intervals. Now and then,
at an unforeseen moment, out of the
blue drink storm beats upon him
and sweeps him away from his usual
mornings.
The best man who drinks is never
sure that crime may not get him;
that when his moral discrimination is
put to sleep by the drug strange
new criminality may not start up in
him. The chance is one in a hun
dred. If it be only one in a thou
sand it is a bad chance to take, and
it is on the edge of this peril that
one finds the most awful and the most
sad tragedies of life.

WAR DEATH RATE
HAS BEEN REDUCED TO LESS
THAN FIVE PER CENT.

"The doctor has made this world
struggle probably one of the least
deadly ever fought, in proportion to
the numbers engaged" said Dr. Woods
Hutchinson, an American, in an adj
dress before the Royal Society of Med
icine, in London, recently.
''The doctors control over wound
infections is SO mastery" he added,
that, of the wounded who survive six
hours, so per cent recover; of those
who reach the field hospital, 50 per
cent recover, and of those who arrive
at the base hospitals, 95 per cent get
well.
''The twin angels, anesthetics and
antiseptics, have not only enormously
diminished pain and agony but have
made amputations rarer and grave
cripplins fewer than ever before in
war history. Barely per cent of the
wounded are crippled or permanently
disabled"

Capture Of Jerusalem
REGARDED BY MOSLEMS AS Full
FILLMENT OF ALLEGED
PROPHECY.

A remarkable story comes from the
Levant following the British occupa-
ton of Jerusalem, which greatly i'm
pressed the native population to the
advantage of the Allies. When the
Kaiser visited Jerusalem he was loud
ly acclaimed as friend of Islam and
made several speeches, but an ancient
Mosiem prophecy was revived which
declared that the deliverer of Jeru-
salem would enter the city on foot,
and his name would be the combined
names of God and the prophet.
Gen. Allenby's name is now regard
ed by the Moslems as a combination
of Allah, meaning God, and "nehbi,"
meaning the prophet. The super
stitious Orientals have been familiar
for generations with the prophecy,
and are convinced that now it has
been fulfilled.

FATHER MATTHEW'S TEN
PERANCE.

Father Mathew, whose memory has
been honored recently in special cele-
brations all over the world, was tenn
perate in more ways than one. He
was temperate in speech, and kindly;
he was careful to avoid giving offense,
and ayowed that he did not wish to
advance the interests of any particular
party, only to work for the good of
all. Thus he won golden opinions from
those who came in contact with him,
and won. too, their ready cooperation
in his plans. Protestants as well as
Catholics greeted him with God bless
you, Father Mathew"
Carlyle, on one occasion, witnessed
the giving of the pledge by Father
Mathew to a group of unfortunates in
Liverpool.
Il almost cried to listen to him."
he said, ''and could not but lift my
broad-brim at the end when he called
for Gods blessing on the vow these
poor wretches had taken. I have seen
nothing so religious since I set out on
my travels"
