THE WORLD FOR CHRISTI
 APPOSTLESHiP'S PRAYER

During Dec, the thousand of Nor wich members of the League of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. who, in each Catholic church devote the first Fri day of every month to special Sacred Heart devotions, have had for the in- tention of their prayers and good worl1s the conversion of unbeEevers. The League leahet, which is the guide of the members of this Apostle ship of Prayer, hays:
 The world of today contains sixteen hundred millions of inhabitants. Of these about sixty, per cent. do not be- l lieve as yet in Jesus Christ. In this l mass of unbelievers there are two dis 1 Gaact classes of people. Africa con- tains about one hundred millions of | people whose civilization is of a very 1 primitive character. and who are gradually being absorbed, so that the i day seem to be approaching when all will be either Christians or Moham- | medans. The missionaries work in ] such regions is greatly laampered by and their hearts are greatly saddened
 when they find such tribes confirmed
 by the Mohammedans in an opposition | to Christ, of which in their pagan state they were incapable.
 The great problem, however,s in the
 conversion of the agan world is tc
 create an impression on the Moham. medans. who number more than two
 hundred millions and on the large number of pagans in Indian and East !. ern Asia, to whom the religion O Christ is as yet unknown. These lat ter outnumber even the those wha
 believe in Christ, and constitute abou !, forty per cent. of the earth's popula
 tion. Three and half centuries hav
 elapsed since the death of St. Franci
 Xavier, the great apostle of the Indies
 and only one per cent. of these na
 tions have accepted Christianity.
 It is the duty of. every Associate o
 the Apostleship of Prayer to strive b,
 every means at our command to brin about the conversion of all these un believers. and this month. our Hol 4 Father asks us to pray that all ma;
 shake off their indifference and thei
 sfuggishness, and strive 5 by thei
 prayers and their sacrifices to win tn world for Christ.

Wild Horses a Problem.

France has courteously but firmly
refused to consider the stringy meat
of the bony Montana wild range horse.
Washington dispatches declare that
United States Senator T. J. Walsh of
Montana, who took the matter up with
the French high commission, was told
that France was not in the market
for Montana horse meat on any terms.
Sale of the range horse for food
has long been agitated, as he devours
the range. He Is worthless as a horse
and to round him up, slay and bury
him would cost too much money. He
is too numerous to kill and let lie.
since he might start plague. Va
rious projects to can him have been
gently scorned by American meat

STOP SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS
Wardens Wage Constant War on Un-
principIed SIayers of Feathered
Friends of the Farmer.

The guardian of the birds on pro-
tected lands is an important part Of
the work of the federal and Audubon
authorities. Although state and ma
tional laws have been passed making
it wrong to kill the birds for their
plumage, plume hunters are constantly
raiding the nests of the waterfowl and
killing them for the sake Of the prices
the wings will bring. Thus a constant
watch is necessary. Patrol boats are
constantly lowering along the shores
of the reservations, and more than one
pitched battle has been fought to save
the egret or gulls from slaughter. In
Florida, one of the best game wardens
of the Audubon society was killed by
bird butchers.
If those who call the robin the thief
of their fruit, and hate him for his
early morning raids on their berries,
would realize that the little fruit
spoiled is a light dessert for the huge
quantity Of insects killed before the
fruit was touched, then their feelings
would be more kindly. Cutworms and
cranefiies, which do great harm to grain
crops, are favorite foods for robins,
while leaf-beetles, vine-worms, etc., are
eaten in great numberS.-Exchang

To be possessed Of head Of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter Of using little Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get
small bottle Of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance Of abundance,
freshness, fuffiness and an incompara-
bic gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find a trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-flne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer Of dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
IF you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

HIS MEMORY PROVED TICKLE
Conviviai Gentleman In Hard Luck
When 1t Came Time to Remove
His Footwear.

A wealthy citizen Of a thriving
city had been out until the small hours
with convivial companions. It was not
exactly "dry locality" that he had
visited, and he arrived home slightly
exhilarated. He managed, by describ-
ing several erratic, rather than geo.
metric, lines, to get to his bedroom
and into q chair. Then he called to
his wife in stage whisper:
II can't get my boots off,"
whats the matter with your
bOots?"
'Nozzin'," in a faint whisper.
"What's the matter with your
hands, then?" she cross examined.
"NOZzin'."
"Why don't you pull your boots off,
then?"
Maria, I've forgot the combina-
tion."

MuItipIies Capacity of Phone Wires.

An achievement more extraordinary
by far than making two blades Of
grass grow where one grew before, is
the sending for five telephone conver
sations simultaneously over one pair
Of wires where but one conversation
could travel before, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The new invention
also makes it possible to send 40 tele-
graph messages, simultaneously over
one pair of wires, or they can be used
in part for telephoning and in part
for telegraphing. Ten conversations
can be carried on over two pairs of
wires which formerly could be used
for a maximum of three conversations
by means of the so-called phantom
circuit" Tests covering several weeks
have been made of the system on a
Baltimore-Pittsburg line and have
been pronounced successful in every
way.

ALL IN ONE CLASS
Classification "Bourgeois" Fits
Every American.
In Reality 1t Is Term of the Highest
Honor, Though Anarchistic Ene-
mics Of All Society
Will Deny 1t.

The average Americans understand
ing of the word bourgeois" is reflect
ed in a common saying which has
passed from the country newspaper
office into ordinary speech: "YOu can't
run nonpareil newspaper in bOur-
geois town." The word, SO far as it
Is used in it's typographical sense (and
pronounced "burjoice'), is synony-
nous with rusticity and lack of enter
prise. For the term in it's European,
social sense, signifying trading mid
die class, the average American has
never had any use at all, because he
had never been aware Of any such di-
vision or classification of the popula-
ton. If he knows the word at all it
Is only through his reading Of Euro
pcan books or papers. In it's con-
tinental European meaning it is en-
tirely strange to our own usage.
But it is now made familiar through
the attacks Of bolsheviki and Sparta
Gus people upon all the elements of
society except their own. Another
word, in their hostile and hating sense,
Is fagrantly misused. In strictness,
| the term means the trading middle
class citizen. Anciently, it included
artisans as we'll if they dwelt in cities
and lived in comfortable houses. The
word distinguishes certain people from
royalties, from the nobility, the gentry
OR at least the upper gentry-on the
one hand, and from country people
and poor town laborers on the other.
IT is the same as "burgher" or citizen,
and Shakespeare used "citiZen" in ex-
actly the same sense, as when he
makes Jaques speak of the deer
sweeping along full of pasture" as
"fat and greasy citizens" or when
Imogen, employing the word adjec-
lively, as we do "bourgeois," declares
that she is mot so citizen wanton
as to seem to die ere sick" In Moli-
ere's Bourgeois Gentilhomme," the
meaning of the word is dramatized in
comedy of the attempted evolution
| (often accOmplished) Of the "citizen"
into the gentleman" But all this
true and ancient meaning is swept
aside by the bolshevist, who makes
the word signify all people but him
self. For him, there are in the world
but the proletariat worker, the money
less industrial wage-receiver, on the
one hand, and the "bourgeois" on the
other, and he makes the hated classi-
ficatiOn include cZars and kings,
mobiles, merchants, artisans, even
peasants-all who have accumulated
few rubles or marks, and who hope
by their industry to accumulate few
more.
We are, then, in America, all bour-
geois-except a few agitatsrs on the
East side of New York and other CEN
ters Of imported discomfort. From
Wilson down to the poorest farmer,
and including Morgan and Rockefeller
and the man who sells apples and
oranges from a handcart, we are moth
ing but bourgeois. II thank thee, Jew,
for teaching me that word" "Bour-
geois" has become term Of the
highest honor. 1t represents Ameri-
cas- triumphant struggle with the
forces of nature.
