PARISIENNES ARE
WARNED TO MODIFY
INDECENT STYLES
Archbishop Threatens to Forbid
Them to Enter
Church.
By ROBERT ]. PREV.

Special Cable Disu0tch

special CaDle Dlspdtcn.
Paris, Dec. 5.-Deploring the re-
fusal of the modern woman to heed
Pope Benedict's condemnation OF
indecent dress and erotIc dances
Cardinal Amitte, archbishops OF
Paris, has fatty warned the Paris
iennes that they will be forbidden to
enter churches unless they obey the
dictates of modesty and good taste.
The prelate says, in part
"Our repeated warnings have fall
en- upon deaf ears. Mothers are
now even dressing their young chill
dren in a manner contradictory to
Christian decency.
Women tell me that unless they
dress according to the latest fashion
they are unable to enter society cir
cles, but Christian women must or
ganize to purify society, ii such is
the case. Women must also posi-
lively cease to indulge in indicate
dances.
An attempt to reconcile immoral
dancing with religious practices is
deplorable. The pope has exhorted
Catholics to form a league against
indecent fashions. Our blessings
have been given to a similar league
in Paris. We now urge it to work
actively against the banned dances
also. This warning must be read
from the pulpits on the first Sunday
Of Advent"

That Gets Prompt Results.

For real, downright, harassing,
discomfort, very few disorders can
approach so-called skin diseases,
such as Eczema, letter, Boils, erup-

skin troubles, Notwithstanding the
lavish use Of salves, lotions, washes

No one ever heard of a person

orders from Maj. Gen. Samuel d, Stur-
gis, commanding general at Camp Pike,
went TO the school armory saturday,
took away all ammunition held there,
removed the bolts from the rifles and
returned with the ammunition and the
rifle bolts to Camp Pike. The rifles
were left to be used for training pur-
poses.
