THE ANGELUs.

Apropos of the Inauguration Of the
angelus in Washington today, with
the object. that persons Of every
shade of religious belief will be re-
minded to pause in their various pur-
suits and pray for victory and peace.
1t may be interesting to note that as
far back as the thirteenth century
the angelus was called the peace
bell"
According to eminent authorities.
the practice of saying the angelus
cannot be traced with any certainty
farther back than the thirteenth CEN
tury. 1t was said originally in the
evening and is short prayer in COM
memoration of the incarnation of the
Savior. 1t is certain that in the time
Of st. Bonaventure a decree of the
franciscan General Chapter (1269),
enjoined the clergy to encourage the
faithful to recite the prayers at the
evening tolling," and the prevalence
Of the practice at that period is di-
church bells of the thirteenth CEN
tury.
The earliest mention of the morn
ing angelus is said to be in a chrcni-
Gle of the city of Parma in 1918, in
which the bishop exhorted all who
hear the bell to pray for the preser-
walton of peace. The midday angelus,
which followed later, is spoken of in
German synods of the fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries as 1.-The peace bell''
(and in France, Germany and the
Netherlands was regularly SO called.
PRO pace Schlager" (to toll for
peace). being a phrase popularity used
for the ringing of the angelus.
The angelus in the form in which
it is used among Catholics today
seems to have made its first appear
arice in an Italian catechism printed
in Venice in 1860, and according to
some writer's was intended to honor
the resurrection in the morning, the
passion at noon and the 'incarnatin in
the evening. since the hours corre-
spond to the hours when these great
mysteries of the Christian religion
are believed to have actually occur
red.
The name "angelus" comes from
the first word of the versicle taken
from Scripture, "Angelus Demini
nuntiavit Mariae' (the angel of the
Lord declared unto Nary, which be-
gins the prayer commemorating the
incarnation.

of that dreadful curiosity which
leads him into so much michief and
trouble.
Jimmy Skunk didn't once look
back. Peter was thankful for this be-
cause sometimes he couldn't find any
thing behind which to hide. Jimmy
went right along in that slow
ambling way of his as ift he had all
the time in the world and then some.
He stopped to pull over every piece
of bark or stick big enough for fat
beetles to hide under. Sometimes he
found one and sometimes he didn't.
More often he didn't than did.
But it was clear to Peter that Jim
my had on his mind something more
interesting than fat beetles even. AS
he went along he looked under every
bush and behind trees and logs. At
the place where Peter had told him
that he had first seen Slow Poke the
Box Turtle Jimmy spent consider
able time looking about in every di.
rection and examining every bit OF
the ground. In several places he dug
.. little. Then gave up.

When Jimmy moved on and Peter

where Jimmy had scooped out a lit

with the 1iveliest interest. But all he
discovered was that he was just a

RAW MILK AND CREAM

To protect children, invalids

infections. raw milk and
cream should be avoided.
Some of 1t may be safe and
wholesome for healthy
adults, but 1t is not always
reliable. and many out
breaks of typhoid, scarlet
fever. diphtheria, septic sore
throat, ETC., have been caused
by raw milk. even by the
special or. certified kind.
Properly pasteurized milk
and cream, carefully cooled
and bottled, is the only kind
people should drink, and this
heat-treating of milk does
not. as is sometimes assert
ed, impair its digestibility or
nourishing property.
Raw cream may be even
more seriously infected than
raw milk.
For children It Is best to
buy reliable raw milk and
home-pasteurize, or simply
scald 1t. after which It should
be quickly cooled and kept
cold until used.
All bottle-fed children over
one month old should daily

COUPLINGS AND BRAKES
The American Big Locomotives and
Box Cars with Air and Jenny
coupIers are Too Much
for Frenchmen.

Sergeant Frederic C. Smith writes
about railroading in the war zone in
seem to meet an old friend in q
j. Smith, as follows:
Can you imagine how good it would
seem to meet an old friends in a
strange country?
Well that was about our fix the
other day, when we were making an
other famous several days jump in
a box car and met up with real
American engines, good old U. S. A.
freight cars, and talked with Ameri-
can railroad men who are over here
in the service. 1t certainly seemed
good to see those big old locomotives,
which look like giants by the side Of
the French engines, and the freight
cars of course are much bigger than
the little old French carriages.
We stopped at big division point,
and had quite long talk with some
of the men. They have had some
funny experiences with the French
in their railroading. In the first place,
these people here seem to have little
or no faith in our couplings, and our
box cars and engines are all equipped
with the bumpers and hook coup
lings, instead of the kind we have
back home. They also fight shy of
air brakes, preferring the hand kind.
The Americans usually put the Ger
man prisoners in the yards at the
job Of coupling the cars as they seem
to be adopts at it.
They say that frequently when
| they have the cars coupled so as to
use the air, the French railroad men
will uncouple the hose, but the YAM
kee engineers stop outside the yards
and hook them up again. They usual
ly put the Yankee cars on the end
of the trains. We noticed that the
passenger cars used air hose, how
ever, so l guess they do realize how
much better they are than the hand
brakes.
The whistles on the engines here
are enough to drive one man, they
sound like the merry go-rounds at the
street fair. One of the boys said they
whistle once to go ahead, and once
| to back up, SO the Americans in the
yards get ready to jump whenever
they hear whistle.
All the way on this trip after we
got out of the mountains and down
nearer the seaport we saw evidences
of American railroad construction.
The French and English raise their
rails off the ties with steel cleats, and
ours of course are spiked to the ties.
They say the railroaders here were
very dubious as to the safety Of such
measures when they ran their trains
over the first American tracks
wonder if some Of the construction
we saw was done by Colonel Cooper
and by the bunch that Lieutenant
Mcfarland was with.
