GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION

IL sugar necessary in the diet?
Neither beet sugar is necessary. In the
average American diet alth sugar needed may ordl-
nary be supplied by using honey srups. fresh pre-
served and dried fruits.
Use air sugar sparingly and wherever possible use
other sweeteners. Be sparing of confections and
sweet cakes. The American people last year spent
enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two
years. Supplement sugar with honey and sirups.
Cultivate taste for fruit in its natural sweetness.
Sugar is fuel food. Get fuel from potatoes and
other starchy foods rather than from sugar Sugar
exces them an energyfood only because it pro-
duces energy quickly. They excel sugar since
they supply more than merely the fuel need.
How may the sugar ration be expressed in quantities
known to everyone?
Two pounds per month means about ounces per
week. a little than ounce day. This daily
ration is a trfe than tablespoons level full.
1t should be remembered that this is to include all
sugar used for any purpose whatsoever-for table
use, cooking in ice and desserts, cereals

ToMBs OF APOSTLES.


Saint Peter, Prince of the Apostles,
suffered martyrdom about thirty-four
years after our Lords Ascension. His
remains were at first consigned to the
catacombs, at the foot of the Jani-
culum, or Vatican Hill, crowned today
by the Palace of the Vatican. The
body of the saint now rests in Saint
Peters Basilica.
Saint Paul also suffered martyrdom
in Rome. Being a Roman citizen, he
was put to death by the sword. His
mortal remains also rest in Saint
Peters.
Saint Andrew was crucified on No
veniber 30, sixty-two years after the
birth of our Lord, in the Greek City
of Patras. In the year 357, during the
reign of Emperor Constantine, the
martyrs relics were removed with
great solemnity from Patras to Con
stantinople, and placed in the Church
OF the Apostles. In 1910, through the
instrumentality of Cardinal Pietro, of
Capua, the saints body was taken to
Italy and placed in the Cathedral in
Amalfi, the Neapo1itan province.

PATRoNEss OF MUSIC.

Louvain-now alas! mourning her
famous university and art treasures
was the first municipality to place
musical society under the patron
age of st. Job, but the chief magis-
trate decided that the proper patron
ess was st. Cecilia, says the eminent
DR.. w. H. Grattan Flood. In 1860
Rouen followed suit, and had must
cal society under ST. Cecilia's patron
age. The famous LIE Puy de Musique
at Evreux in Normandy was founded
in 1879 by an Irishman, William Co.'S
tello, as the first distinctively relig-
ious celebration of the feast as mu-
steal festival, and a similar Cecilian
Association was founded at Paris in
1875 by the Austin Friars.
The Academy of st. Cecilia in
Rome, founded by Pope Plus V in
1866, was ratified by Pope Gregory
XIII in 1853. At Onderauch in 1860
there was Guild of st. Cecilia. Be-
tween the years 1887 and 1900 the
choristers of various continental ca
thedrals had an annual 'gaudeamus"
on st. Cecilia's Day. Cecilia festivals
were inaugurated in England in 1858,
in Scotland in 1896, and were intro
duced into Ireland in 1927 And right
on to our own day the cult of st. Ce-
ella has been observed all over the
globe-thus perpetuating the tradi-
tional association of the saint with
music.

CHARACTERISTICS OF HEREsIEs.

81 Certain pecuIIarities have uniformly
accompanied every important heresy
that has made its appearance in the
Christian world, says the Casket, An
tigonish, N. S. These peculiarities are
five in number: Every heresiarch has
presumed to accuse the Church of
having fallen into pernicious error;
every heresiarch has separated him
self and his adherents from the
Church; everyone of them has taught
new doctrines unknown till then in
the Christian world; sometimes ac-
companied by portions of former
heresies then dead and gone; they al
ways named their sect by the name
of their leader or the name of some
one of their new dogmas; not one of
them could ever prove he had law
full mission.
Christ's Apostles and many of their
successors healed the sick and raised
the dead; but no miracle, great or
small, was ever even claimed for a
heretical leader or teacher. Neither
could they prove from Scripture that
they had any mission, nor by the
results of their labors; for division.

KEEP YOUR MIND FRESH.


You cannot have a fresh, vigorous,
alert mind unless you treat your mind
right and give it chance tos expand.
If YOU keep it cooped up all the time
in one small spot it will gradually
become stale and uninterested. A
mind that is not interested must be-
come more or less inactive, and we
all know that the mind is very much
like the body-it needs exercise for
growth.
Often when we feel dull and have
no wish to exert either the mind or
the body we are in need of nothing
more serious than walk up the
street. Or talk with friend may
give us new mental life. Even a page
from new book may help, though
when the mind is very tired it usually
needs contact with real life rather
than with that which lies between the
covers of book.

Some of them were more wide
spread and more powerful than Prot
estantism and some lasted nearly as
long. But they are all gone; not
trace of them is left Some of them
were more intellectual than any of the
changing series of heresies which
loosely grouped themselves under the
name of Professionalism" with no
real link but antipathy to the Church.
The matter of names is most inter
esting, Gods design to keep His own
Church visibly distinct is evident
The heretics all took personal names
or else named their sects from a doc
trine newly-propounded. Arius gave
his name to the Arians; Pelagius his
to the Pelagians; Nestorius his to the
HISTORIANS; Eutychias his to the Eu-
tychians, and so down through the
list. Luther gave his to the Luz
therans; Calvin to the Calvinists;
English sovereigns the name of their
country to Anglicanism
The Catholic Church remained
visibly apart; no man, no. peculiar doc
trine, no state, imposed name on

would leap at the news of such a
benefit, putting aside all distinct IDEAS
of sacramento ordinance, or of a
grant of pardon and the conveyance
of grace! If there is a heavenly idea
in the Catholic Church, looking at it
simply as an idea, surely, next after
the Blessed Sacrament, Confession is
such.
And such is it ever found, in fact
the very act of kneeling, the low and
contrite voice, the sign of the cross
hanging, SO to say, over the head
bowed low, and the words of peace
and blessing.
Oh, what soothing charm is there,
which the world can neither give nor
take away! Oh, what piercing, heart
subduing tranquility, provoking tears
of joy, are poured almost substantially
and physically upon the soul, the oil
of gladness, as Scripture calls it,
when the penitent at length rises, the
God reconciled to him, his sins rolled
away forever! This is Confession as
it is in fact.

CARDINAL NEWMAN ON SoLAcE
OF CONFESSION.

Cardinal Newman speaks as follows
OF Confession and its effect on the
penitent:
How many are the souls in distress,
anxiety or loneliness whose one need
is to find a being to whom they can
pour out their feelings unheard by
the world. Tell them out they must.
They cannot tell them out to those
whom they see every hour. They
want to tell them and not to tell them:
and they want to tell them out, yet
be as if they be not told; they wish
to tell them to one who is strong
enough to bear them, yet not too
strong to despise them; they wish to
tell them to one who can at once
advise and can sympathize with them.
They wish to relieve themselves Of
a load, to gain solace, to receive the
assurance that there is one who
thinks of them and one to whom in
thought they can recur, to whom they
can betake themselves, II necessary,

DO 1T NOW.

If you know any person who is in
distress, and if you feel it lies within
your power to cheer that person up,
dol not put your good intentions off
until tomorrow. Perhaps the weary
heart may be stilled by tomorrow.
Now is the time to act.
Most of us can look back to day
when the kind word of some good
friend made us forget how dark and
cherries was life's way. Then why
should we hesitate about doing a
good turn" for some one now, even
though we know that good turn" will
|put us out" little?
The woman who waits for a "con-
venient" time to put her good inten-
tionsp into effect will always have a
long list of things to do tomorrow.
Today, whether the sun is shining or
great storm clouds darken the sky,
is the time to do what we have de-
cided on doing.

they go about the cities and country

ROBIN AND POPE.

Apropos of famous man recently
deceased, the French sculptor, Rodin,
La Tribuna relates an interesting story
of his visit to Rome. AS you probably
know, this great man was not inspired
by Christian ideals-indeed, it is per-
haps because of the pagan spirit Of his
art, it's roughness, almost brutality,
that it has been greeted so unre-
servedly with favor by the ultra mod
ern. Anyhow, the artist in Robins
soul arose to greet the Eternal City
when he arrived here with his friends,
Boni, Malvitch, and one or two more.
He confded to the Italian his de-
light in Rome, and his longing to at
tempt a bust of the present Pope.
Permission was sought and obtained,
and the master of modern French
sculpture presented himself at the
Vatican in correct attire for audiences,
evening dress, mark of respect to
which he punctiliously adhered
throughout the time he was engaged
on the proposed bust. Benedict XIV
received him in his salon, seated in
an armchair. At the first sitting the
sculptor worked with that fervor of
emotion which characterized his
greatest works. But the second day
he began to lose confidence, his hand
became tremulous and his manner
nervous.
| At the third sitting he completely
gave up, and with apologies to His
Holiness departed almost in tears and
| leaning heavily on the arm of his
friend Boni. He begged permission
to take the bust back with him to
Paris and complete it there. He con
fided to his friend that he saw not
only the present but the past in the
Pope, not only all the Church stood
for, but even ancient and pagan Rome
beyond the martyrs within this one
human representative of the power Of
the keys, but he could not catch the
| inspiration which he wished tt
/ visualize Some time afterward he
wrote to Rome saying that he hopeC
with time and patience to make the
bust chef d'oeuvre but the bust was
"incroyable," it eluded him. His
friends said it was good, it bore Ger
tain resemblance to the Pope, but the
eye of the artist was not satisfied
represented too vaguely the gigantic
ideal he was aiming at. And that wa:
the last heard of the bust of the Chris
tan Pontiff by the great expressor O
pagan emotions. 1t had baffled hin
and he was true enough to own it
Spirituality was beyond him.

PRAYER AS A HABIT.

There is no habit so necessary to
the power of the disciples life and
the effectiveness of his work as that
of prayer Not simply an occasional
half-hour supplication, however
earnest, but a habit or frame of mind
which makes direct and definite
petition natural and spontaneous, at
any time and about anything; power
full contact with Gods life and power
so that every touch on the part of
others brings out virtue" from it and
from the Master. There is an attitude
and aptitude of mind and heart which
is prayer in spirit, like electricity in
storage-only waiting for the occasion
to become prayer in action. Any
employment or enjoyment which
would be unfavorable to the prayer
spirit is, therefore, inexpedient, if not
positively sinful
Pray without ceasing." Does any
one say this is hard to do? Impos
sible and impracticable? Hear the
testimony of that brave soldier
StoneWall Jackson:
I have so fitted the habit in my
mind that / never raise a glass of
water to my lips without asking
Gods blessing; never seal a letter
without putting a, word of prayer I'm
der the seal; never take a letter from
the post without a brief sending of
my thoughts heavenward; never
change my classes in the lecture
rooms without minutes petition fol
the cadets who go out and those who
come in"

Is sweet and my burden light" Phil.
4, 10; Matt. II, 80.
America is the land of opportunity
for the Church as for the individual.
The harvest is white. Christ calls for
laborers. He will demand forgetful-
ness of self; for love of self never
made one great or happy. He will
demand obedience and chastity and
the poverty which gives it's all to His
cause; and these needful conditions
are exalted to supernatural glory by
the free choice of the disciples who
adopt them as instruments of power
and emancipation. He will demand
the loyal pledge Of life's few years;
and give in return eternal life.
The wise virgin who answers to
Christ's call: Behold the handmade
of the Lord" will leave father and
mother and home indeed, but only to
become the sister of all humanity.
Though not of the world, she will be
in the world; and Christ's family
the needy, the sick, the orphan, will
find a home within her convent walls.
In her will be fulfilled His promise:

that hath left house or brethren or

''Mr. Dickens would never publish
anything, fact or fiction, which gave
a favorable view of anyone under the
influence of the Catholic Faith This
appeared so incredible that Mr.. Dick
ems gave me his ground three times
over, with all possible distinctness
lest there should be any mistake.
HE would print nothing which
could possibly dispose any mind what
soever in favor of 'Romanism, even
by the example of real good men. :. .

LEGATION of his all good Catholics.
1 had supposed that editors would OF
course abstain from publishing any
harm of Catholic priests and profes
sors, if they would admit no good; but
in this have recently found myself
mistaken"
In 1854 Miss Martineau wrote tc
Dickens, then editor of Household
Words, as follows:
Il have had little hope of Household
Words, since the proprietors refused
to print an historical fact otherwise
approved of on the ground that the
hero was a Jesuit, and now they fol
low up this suppression by the inser
ton of a dishonoring fiction Tor fact
no matter which,
Although a Protestant, Miss Mar
tineau refused after this to contribute

ALWAYS IN THE FRONT.

Catholics have ever served the land
nobly and well, observes DR.. John G.
Coyle. Neither of the historic trait
ors, Benedict Arnold nor Charles Lee,
was a Catholic. The first United
States flag to enter the captured city
of Mexico was borne by the division
commanded by the Catholic general
James Shields The only man to die
in the surrender of Fort Sumter in
1861, was a Catholic, and many other
Catholics we're in the garrison under
Major Anderson. The Catholic,
Ralph Inch, was at Manila with
Dewey. John Murphy and Daniel
Montague were at Santiago in the
desperate Merrimac sinking under
Lieutenant Hobson.
The Catholic boys, Dennis Aloysius
Haggerty, of Cambridge, and Dennis
Joseph Lane, of New York, were the
first to die at Vera Cruz three years
ago in defense of the honor of the
flag. On April 6, 1917, Congress de-
clared war with Germany, and on

which women derived their dignity

they learned to love purity and to re-
