NUNS PRAY FOR FUNDS !
TOPAY CHAPEL DEBT
Sister.Servants of Holy Ghost
of Perpetual Alteration
Cannot Make Canvass

Tho power of prayer is being invoked
by the Sister-Servants of the Holy Ghosr
of Perpetual Alteration TO reduce tho
debt on their chapel and convent aH
Twenty-second and Green streets
The nuns are praying that a sufficient
number Of Catholics will be prompted to
send gifts to the convent. The appeal
was announced today. the first anniver.
sary Of the death of Archbishop Prender-
gast, who was instrumental in bringing
the religious community to this city.
The Sister-Servants, originally eight
in number, maintain constant alteration
of the Blessed Sacrament day and night.
They take turns in the chapel on their
knees before the altar and ask Gods
mercy for the entire world.
Since the establishment of tho CONS
munity here seven American candidates
have been received into the choir. The
first eight sisters were brought from
the Netherlands, where the mother house
of TIE order Is located.
Work on the convent and chapel was
begun in 1914 and, completed in the
spring of 1915. The buildings are OF
white granite. The chapel was named
The Chapel OF Divine Love"
As the sisters have no way of can4
vassing for funds the superior decided
on prayer as the means Of reducing tho
debt. Donors should send their gifts
either to the chapel or to Archbishop
Dougherty, who is showing the same
deep interest in the chapel as did his
predecessor, Archbishop Prendergast.

FLAG DAY.

After two years of war the states of the Union are doing honor to their flag upon the national day D cked out for that purpose, and des- ignated by the governors of the vari- ous divisions of united America.
 Inasmuch as the schools play the greater part in Flag Day celebrations, Governor Holcomb selected yesterday in his proclamation of the day. Today being a school holiday, it was deemed an unfavorable date for the observ- ance.
 The flag today means more than it ever has before to the people over which it waves. Fresh from new glories, bright with a new baptism of heroes blood, it waves more proudly than ever before in the eyes of the world and before it's own supporters. A more far-reac ching and glorious epi sode has not occurred in it's history than the recent war. The Revolution, at it's birth, Has, it is true, a great event. Since that time it has been threatened with dissolution and has triumphed, it has foated over minor difficulties most honorably and is still triumphant. Now it has seen the healing of any scars it may have sus- tained in the Civil War in the heat of battle when the sons of the North fought with the sons of the South, side by side under it's folds vipins away the memories that might still hold in the minds of few sympathiz- CTS with one side or the other in the secession. The Spanish War was but an incident. It helped unite our peo- pie, but the wholesale fighting of the past two years has made it sure. Scarcely a family of the North or South has not had a son under it: cOlOrS. For that reason it is dcarer than ever before to a united nation. Let US keep alive it's glory and hand the story of it's deeds down through the generations that their reverence for it will be as great as ours who have seen it's Vindication.

that his eight or nine hours put. in every day should be started $ early in the morning as possible. The eVe- ming hours, in the sunlight, out of doors, have proved a. boon to him. Recreation, in daylight, is possible. He has had more time for the culti- vation of his garden or the care of his house and grounds. He has had an onnortunfsv to play golf, baseball, or even go fishing after working hours. He has scarcely noticed that he is getting up an hour earlier every morn ing, as he is going to bed an hour earlier also and getting the same amount of sleep. At the same time his day is longer and more profitable from several standpoints. The saving in liSln bills and other things inci- dental to a later nightfall are incon- seuuential. It is the additional hour of daylight gained that counts.
 Meanwhile, the farmer has to get up at a certain time by the sun, no matter what the face of the clock says. His COWS have to be milked and farm affairs attended to. He objects to having his timekeeper announce that it is , o'clock when it really is o'clock He does not want to go to bed at s o'clock when it is actually 9 o'clock. In fact, he does not want a clock which disagrees with the time at which he usually does his daily task. no; withstanding his ask has 10 be done anyhow.

Will Prices Fall?
(NeW York IIerald)

In answer 10 the question proposed by the United States Department of Labor, twill prices fall?" large number of big business mon answer, NO. not for some time" All seem to agree that the prevailing high level will continue for some time and that the country must accept d long period of high cost of liNmg, high prices and high wages.
 This conclusion is logical from the facts. High prices and high wages will prevail until the causes producing them are removed. These causes are imitation of the currency of the world incrca scs in national oblga tions and the destruction of wealth by war.
 The nations have travelled along the road of inna ton without correspond ing increase in wealth; they must re- trace their steps and get to work in Crcasing wealth as rapidly as possible
 If tho worlds credit money doubles and commodities are cut in half, il is manifest that prices measured bv that currency must more than double. The scales have lifted prices high and de pressed the amount of wealth. The solution of the problem is the reduc- lion of credit money and increase in production of wealth.

Gen Wood are gathering about him because he was not permitted to fight by the war department. They feel that he was deliberately sighted, and there may be lot of truth in that belief but the office of president is some thing moro important than a nursery for the correction Of bighted hopes. Next year the candidates for the pres idenCN will be subjected to q more than customary examination as to their fitness, and the most fl! will VI.
 If therefore, the supporters of Gen. Wood arc determined to put him in the race for the republican nomina- ton they will do well to drop the grievance feature of their program and present their reasons for beIieVing g that he is particularly qualified for the office itself. In all likelihood the next president of the United States will have to be an unusually well informed man and a man with an iron cOnstitu- ton, for he will have 10 make dcCi- siOns of far reaching importance. Be fore the country will accept Gen. Wood 1t will want 10 know just what he knows about inc business of being 2 president. The day of gen lizatiOnS has passed. Practical mon are com ing to the front.
