Louisville brewers may solve the
problem of sugar shortage in that city
by the manufacture Of malt sugar, a
newly discovered sweet, which is de-
rived from starchy cereals and is a
substitute for cane and beet sugar.
The wholesale price will be from to
nine cents the pound by the barrel and
bakers who have used it say they pre-
fer it to cane and beet sugar in the
manufacture of pastries. The brewers
have done a lot of deviltry and it will
be fine If they can do something good
to go on the other side of the ledger.

he was honest about it. even though he may have
been mistaken.
Not here to defend himself in person. that his
words while living should arise in his defense is a
natural sequence. 1t is the cowardliness of tax

Spirit breathes partly in every church
but besides it breathes also the spirit
of error and lying"
Truth is the inheritance of Christ
but this inheritance is not like a farm
which can be equally or unequalIy di
vided among the different children. A
farm or money can be divided into
parts, but the truth cannot be divided
into part-truths, nor the Church OF
Christ into part-churches.
4. This conception of part-churches
reminds one of the two mothers who
quarreled before King Solomon about
a child. Each one claimed the chile
as her own. Then the wise king said
Let us part the child and give each
one half The woman who was not
the real mother was satisfied with this
parting, but the real mother became
alarmed; her mother-love did not want
the parting of the child, that is, its
death.
So also the true Church of Christ
does not want the parting of the truth
that is, the destruction of the religion
of her Divine Founder This plainly
proves her to be the true Church Of
Christ.

the phrase is not altogether inappro-
pirate. The artist, she continues, will
seek his types of noble old age from
amidst the toilers and not from
amongst those who have dwe1t amid
artifcialities, who have never exerted
themselves and have had every whim
and caprice fulfilled Women of the
latter class well deserve to be called
superfiuous, says Father Muntsch.
But there is unfortunately a group
of persons who, though not dwelling
amid artifcialities, are leading empty
unproductiVe lives These are the
gossips, the women who CAD about,
speaking i'll of their neighbors, and
insulating base motives for every
noble deed. They tell the young wife
to keep an eye on her husband and
to spy on him, for the ways of the
world are wicked They eXaggerate
triffing faults, misconStrue innocent
remarks, seek wrong motives where
none exist. Such women are worse
than "superiuous. They bring dis
cord into homes, they poison minds,
they def1le innocent hearts, they are
an abomination in the sight of God
For their words are evil and their fire.
quent presence in a home spells I'M
happiness aud disaster for all it's in
mates.
In these troublous times when a
sincere word of cheer and comfort
seems to have more value than for
merly, the gossip only adds to the
family's burdens and hardships. Per
haps you are guilty of this pernicious
habit without being aware of it. Well,
then, put restraint upon your tongue.
Check the wild and idle fancy in the
hearing of untrue stories about your
friends and relatives and neighbOrs.
Ask the Lord to set a seal upon your
heart and to guard you from the per-
versity of lying tongue.
Try rather to see the good motive
that prompts the worthy action. Do
not bring suspicion and discomfort to
the home where sadness already
reigns. It has been said that some
persons visits are like spells of sick
ness For they leave sour remem-
brance in those ''honored" by the call.
If you cannot come with the golden
gifts of genuine sympathy and Chris
tan charity and service, stay away.
You might do more harm than good.
But blessed the persons whose lips
ever speak the truth and who bring
the oil and wine Of Christian hope and
consolation to the threshold darkened
by disaster. Their presence is like
the sunshine and their name is held
in honor and reverence.

CATHOLIC FURNITURE.

Every Catholic home should contain
certain articles which we shall call,
for the sake of convenience, Catholic
furniture The pictures on the wall
the crucifx in its place of honor, the
little ornamentation of the house
should and do speak the character OF
it's occupants. There is one, however
perhaps more important than the rest
and that is the books which are kept
and used in every home. They need
mot be many in number, if they are
well chosen. We subjoin short list
of books that should be found in every
Catholic home:
Catholic Bible.
The Life of Christ.
Life of the Blessed Virgin.
Short lives of the Saints.
Bible History.
Bible Stories for Children.
Books on Catholic instruction.
Books on Catholic Piety.
Catholic Magazines.
The local Catholic paper.
With this small library it will be
possible, not only to understand the
faith, but to be familiar with the
events of the day.
