AN ADDED ATTRACTION.

1t is not often that the Catholic
sense is publicly violated with re-
gard to things religious. Among
those to whom sacred rites and
ceremonies are more or less on a
par with the initiation antics of
lodge or society, it is expected
that from time to time religion
may appear in grotesque garb.
Catholics, as a rule, ever preserve
distinct generation and sacred re-
gard for all that pertains to their
Church and religion.
Recently there was called to
our attention a performance -
performance is the word-that
certainly will cause the quick
blush of shame to rise to every
Catholic cheek. At first we were
inclined to doubt the authenticity
of the report. A detailed descrip.
ton, however, from the scene OF
the Performance leaves nc
doubt, apparently, of its truth.
Briefly, the fact is this: In 9
certain military camp, which we
do not care to name, a vaudeville
show was staged for the benefit
of the soldiers. Nine hundred
men packed the building. The ac
count says: Zone Of the prettiest

EXALTING THE STATE.

A certain prelate of keen in
sight recently deplored the tend
ency at the present day of exalt-
ing the state almost to the dig
nifty of a thing divine. He pointed
out the fact that separation of
church and state in Europe, while
an excellent thing in principle,
had misled many people to be-
lieve in the omnipotence Of the
state. Without any harsh feel
ings at all, he cited Germany as
an example of what such distorted
ideas may lead to. German phil
osophy had divorced itself from
God. 1t reveled in the material
and as a consequence it exalted
matter and brute force as the
national ideal. AS nations like
individuals strive, consciously or
unconsciously, towards an ideal,
it happened that the ideal OF
might grew apace in Germany up
to the present day.
This same tendency has been
developed in other countries as
history shows most conclusively.
1t seems to be growing in strength
even in our own country. The
error of this principle is appar-
ent in the widely quoted fallacy
MAY my country always be in
the right: but, right or wrong,
my country This slogan may
be catchword to please the un-
wary and the unthinking; as a
workable and practical guide for
conduct it is nothing more nor
less than an exaltation of the
state, and conformation of pos
sible tyranny.
The record of nations shows
beyond a doubt that the state is
only relatively supreme. Chris
tian revelation but repeats what
the nations often, to their sorrow,
have forgotten; all power is from
God. From the very moment that
we eliminate God from the econ.
omy of human life we are forced
either into anarchy against all
government, or into the false as.
sumption that the king can dc
no wrong
The power Of an ideal is tire.
mendous Men willingly submit
to hardship and to death for the
ideals of religion and of patriot
ism. On the other hand, the pos
session of a false ideal on the part
of sovereign state will lead in

regard for the. free rights Of the
peoples subject to that state.

The name Francis was given
to the late Bishop Chatard when
the episcopal dignity was be-
slowed in Rome. That assertion
requires some explanation. His
name ''Silas'' was mistaken in
Rome for Sales" and it was nat
ural that "Francis" should be
added to it, to make it more com
plete: and so Francis de Sales
Chatard 'twas the name that ap-
peared in the Papal Bull appoint

prelate was a physician before he

THE TWO JOHNS.
e L. Tr0nSS0u.

There has recently passed from
human history a character who has
held the popular fancy, John l.. Sulli-
van, the eX-pugilist. For the past sew
eral years he has been in the ring
against John Barleycorn. The style
of his fight can be expressed best in
his own words:
Il have been a booze-fghter for
twenty-five years, and / only quit when
I discovered that they were making it
faster than I could drink it. quit ten
years ago, when John Barleycorn had
me down and out. He had tossed me
through the ropes and hit me so hard
that l landed among the twenty-five
cent seats.
Eyes, sir; I was the fellow that had
had thousands and thousands of dol
lars, and perhaps more people in the
world knew or had heard of me than
they had of any President of the
United States, and John Barleycorn
gave me such trouncing that / was
around borrowing twenty-five cent
pieces
NO man ever whipped me IN the
ring. 1t was that demon, John Barley
corn. He followed me into the ring
with Corbett, and tripped me. He is a
foul fighter. He hits below the belt.
That is his old stand-by-below the
belt. He gets down in there, eats out
a fellows insides, then he's no good
for anything.
Had not God endowed me with a
wonderful constitution l would not be
here tonight. l would be cut in a cold
and wet cemetery, and the old boys
who refused to fight John Barleycorn
would be going by and saying: There
lies John l.. He was good fighter,
but he couldn't whip John Barley
corn!'" ST

WATSON AGAIN.

Once upon a time there was a
man. He lived down South In the
State of Georgia. In appearances
he was like unto other men. And
still he was different. His. mind
was a beautiful, stagnant cess
pool. His thoughts were COM
posed Of acids. His antics were
those of the polecat. This man
was called Tom Watson. He
built himself a little castle called
the Jeffersonian. Like a petty,
feudal lord Of the Middle Ages he
gathered about him some ignor-
ant, coarse, blasphemous men like
unto himself. From the windows
of his little castle he sent forth
poison gas and other noxious
vapors upon everyone and every
thing that bore the name Of Cath
Ollie. He and his motley crew
belabored the poor Catholics as
traitorous to the country and rem
egades of double dye. He cried
aloud to high heaven his great
loyalty to America. He thought
that the Almighty had raised him
up to save fair Lady Constitution
from the claws of the cruel Cath
olics.
Suddenly great war arose
Nearly all the peoples of earth
were clutching at one another s
threats. Tom Watson warned the
government to beware of the willy
Catholics. He said that they were
waiting for chance to seize this
country for bad man called the
Pope.
Then something happened
America decided to go to war tc
make the world and this country
also a decent place to live in
Tom Watson, not being a decent
person, objected very loudly t.
having this country kept decent
So the harsh officials of the gov
eminent tore down Tommy s little
castle, and told him to be good
or they would put him where al
indecent polecats like Tom Wat
son ought to be. From that day
Tommy has been very angry, bu
very, very quiet.
Now, some people have declared
that Catholics are doing so much
for this country so that when thu
war is over they will have trained
men and guns to seize the who'll
country for that awful man tn,
Pope. Tommy is scared to death
Hence he has just announced tina
if the people of Georgia insist Oh
making him a member of Congress
he will see to it that Catholic
viii have to get permit ever,
/ day from him to be allowed t,

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
THE INroxIcATIoN OF LIFE.

Keeping well is often presented to
us in the guise of duty, but Dr. FISK,
of the Life Extension Institute, knows
how to look at it in more attractive
light, Health, as he sees it, is the way
to joy, the joy of simply being allve.
Some people talk much about the
joys of living, and try very nara 10 get
them, but will never succeed because
they go about it in ways that disorder
the instrument through which the
joys arrive.
In a recent number of the Monthly
Health Letter, issued by the Lille Elk
tension Institute, DR.. Fisk tells how
one cannot and how one can reach the
real life which is in itself a joy.
You cannot reach that state of
health by the poison route, by the aid
of alcohol, opium, nicotine, coffee, or
any other drugs. The patent medi-
cine route is also a poison route, and
is not the way to real living.
You cannot reach real life by the
medicinal whiskey route. There is no
such thing as medicinal whiskey,"
DR.. Fisk says. at is never tonic,
and neither is such whiskey approved
by the medical profession, as the men,
dacious advertisements often state"
The most important route to the
living that is joy, DR.. Fisk pictures as
| the activity route. Proper food and
ways of eating it, the open air, and
control of the mental states, are i'm
portant routes, but to be really alive
the four hundred muscles of the body
must be actually hungry for activity.
| This muscle hunger can be cultivated
| by keeping the muscles alert and ac-
tive during the day, by giving them
all active work at some time every
day, by moving actively and briskly
when We do move.
This, in the main, is DR.. Fisk's
recipe for attaining the state of
health, that makes just being alive
| joy. If we look at it little more
closely we shall see why the man who
talks so much about drinking to in
crease the joys of life has to be con-
tinually coming back to that artificial
means. The alcohol in the wine, beer,
or whiskey is a depressant, and as
soon as that effect is fully manifest
he has no desire to be active. The
beer drinker, particularly, is usually
the opposite of alert and active.
If the theory is true that alcohol
develops in the body a poison to act
as it's antidote, and that this poison
sets up demand for more alcohol as
soon as the supply on hand is ex-
hausted, then the habitual drinker is
habitually poisoned man, and we
should expect him to act the role of a
sick man. He is not fully alive, and
the drug he takes to make him SO
only poisons still more those four hun
dred muscles whose activity is so es-
sential part in the joy of living.
Some one has said that youth has no
need of intoxicatfon by wine, for youth
itself is intoxication. The word is
| taken, of course, in the sense of eXhil-
aration, and it is this eXhilaration that
makes normal youth the most joyous
period of life. The possibility of con-
| tinuing that joyfulness through adult
years is one that we shall see realized
oftener as we see less of the alcohol
poisoning.

Crippled Soldiers

The Holy Father has decreed that
Catholic soldiers, who have been
mutilated in the war and are, there
fore, unable to bend their knees or
bow their heads when praying before
the Blessed Sacrament, shall not for
this reason be deprived of the in
diligence, which they could otherwise
gain. His Holiness grants that SOL
diers, so impeded, may gain the in
diligence merely by reciting the pray
ers, that, under ordinary circum-
stances, are indulgenced in combina-
ton with these facts.

SCOUTS LED, NOT DRIVEN

To do all the undone things, to com plete all the war tasks of the back-at- home battle-ground, to give help unpaid wherever other organizations need helping, is the gladly volunteered serv- ice offered to the government by 353,- 043 of America's young chaps that can't get into the army or navy any how.
 Raising gardens, selling bonds, dis tributing official information, coaxing quarters for War Stamps, saving food and fuel-and urging everybody else to do these things-are among the du- ties of patriots as exemplified by the organization of the Boy Scouts of America.
 No one makes the boys do these things. They are not paid-thus there is no compusion. No one over them has authority to say, You must do this." They just follow the compul- sion to duty as expressed in the scout oath and brought into action by the leadership of men acting as scoutmas- ters and as troop committeeman and as members of local councils.
 Among all these thousands of men leaders there are less than 300 paid workers-and these for the most part are scout executives directly hired to look after the scouts by councils of business men in cities where there are quite a few troops.
 The tremendous task of rousing these voluntary workers to an ener- getlc answer to the many calls of the government falls upon one man-the chief scout executive at the national headquarters in New York city, MT. James b. West
