Aged, Wrinkled Faces
 Easily Rejuvenated

An aged face is often only a mask to comparatively youthful person. Beneath IS countenance young and fair to look upon. It's simple matter to remove the mask. Ordinary mercolized wax, to be had at any drug store, gradually absorbs the worn-out surface skin; in a week or two the user has the loveliest pinky white complexion imaginable. An ounce of the wax usually is sufficient to complete the transformation. It is put on at night like cold cream and taken off in the morning with warm water.
 This remarkable treatment is invariably ellectlve' no matter how muddy, sallow or discolored the complexion. Freckles. moth patches, liver spots. pimples, blackheads and other cutaneous blemishes naturally vanish with the discarded skin.
 TO remove wrinkles and flabbiuess here is recipe that cannot be too highly rec commended: Powdered saxoIite, one ounce, dissolved in witch hazel, one-half pint. Use as wash lotion.

SHORTAGE OF CHAPLA|NS
100 VACANCIES IN BRANCHES OF
REGULAR ARMY.

The disposition of army officers to
abandon their chosen careers and re-
sign their commissions to take up
civilian pursuits has depleted the
ranks of the chaplains' corps more
than any other branch There are
now in the list of chaplains of the
regular army, who are on the perma-
nent rolls of the military establish
ment, approximately 100 vacancies.
In accordance with the basis of pro-
portionate religious representation
adopted by the War Department, the
majority of these places should be
filled by Catholic priests; but it ap-
pears that the chaplains needed are
not available. designations have of
late become SO numerous, that Arch
bishop Hayes has suggested to the
War Department that no more be ac-
cepted. The Department., however, is
disposed to accept the designations,
whenever they are rendered.

SPECIAL LENTEN EFFORTS
BRONZE BUST OF DR..
CAVANAUGH.

Alarm clocks and early risers are
assisting a thousand students at
Notre Dame to set new record for
the observance of the Lenten season
at the university. Dispensed from
the customary Lenten fasts, the stu
dents have taken it upon themselves
to hear Mass and to receive Holy
Communion daily until Easter.
Throughout the entire school year
hundreds of students approach the
Holy Table daily, but the special
effort exerted at this time has tended
to swell the number well beyond a
thousand Special masses are said in
the university church and in all the
dormitory chapels.
Notre Dame graduates of 1908 have
commissioned sculptor in Washing
ton to design a bronze bust of Very
Rev. John Cavanaugh, former presi
dent of the university. When com
pleted it will be placed in the new
$35O,OO0 Alumni hall, which is now in
the course of construction. DR.. Ca

K. OF c. HELP FARMERS
WILL OPEN BUREAU AFTER FARM
SURVEY.

Realizing that reconstruction work
has largely tended towards the ex-
elusive aid of the former service men
who reside in the large cities, the
Knights of Columbus have undertaken
survey with a view to rendering
service to veterans in rural commu-
mites, who earn their livelihood on
the farm. When this survey has been
completed the Knights will institute
an intelligence bureau for soldier
farmers, giving them, through the ru-
raj press, brief and pertinent infor-
nation from expert sources
The K. Of c. system of employ
ment bureaus will also operate to-
wards relieving congestion in the
cities and placing service men in sat
isfactory positions in the great farm
ing sections of the country. The
Knights have already been instru-
mental in inducing more than 1000
men to take up agriculture, and their
moving picture propaganda abroad re-
suited in thousands of boys returning
to farm instead of seeking employ
ment in large industrial centers.

COLLEGE OF CARDINALS MADE
UP CHIEFLY OF MEN OF AD-
VANCED AGE-ALL ARE KNOWN
FOR GIFTS AND EXPERIENCE.

One Of the most august bodies in
the world is the College of Cardinals.
1t is, in fact, the Holy Fathers cabi-
net. All members of this important
organization are conspicuous for learn
ing, diplomacy, or some particular at
tainment which qualities them for this
important office. The various con-
gregations which transact business
with all parts of the Catholic world
are under the direction and personal
supervision of Cardinal. Occasion
ally a number of Cardinals are con-
nected with important Tribunals.
1t is interesting and at the same
time, instructive to note the age, ma
tionality and history of these men. At
present there are siXty-three members
in the College In all, the College
contains seventy members, but it is
only at rare intervals that there is not
a vacancy. At present, out of the
siXty-thrce members, thirty-twO are
Italians and thirty-one are from other
countries Cardinal Gibbons is the
second oldest member of the Cardi-
mails, and is the only Bishop surviv-
ing who was q member of the Vati-
can council.
II is one of the facts which should
not be ignored that the conservative
and careful policy so characteristic
OF all the business dealings OF the
Holy See is partly due to the conserva-

QUEEN At SHRINE
VOTiVE TABLET FROM QUEEN
ALEXANDRA.

An interesting fact is revealed in
the current issue of Les Nouvelles
Religieuses' A votive tablet on the
wall of the famous pilgrimage church
of Notre Dame de la Garde above
Marseilles, France, bears this inscrip-
ton:
I'm gratitude for great mercy
Alexandra, 81 January, 1906" The
"great mercy was the recovery of
King Edward from his all but fatal
illness at the time of his coronation,
and the date is that of Queen AleXan-
dra's visit of thanksgiving On the
same date in 1906 Her Majesty made a
second. In April, 1906, King Edward
and the Queen paid visit together.
Our contemporary adds that many
ex-votos have been placed at Notre
Dame by non-Catholics, SC that no in.
ference is to be drawn from the pious
act of the King and Queen beyond

tails. Les Nouvelles vouches for the
fact that the three visits were paid in
fulfilment of promise made by both
during the illness of the King.

FRENCH CATHOLICS
PARlSIAN UNION OF CLERKS HAS
MEMBERSHIP OF e,o0o-coN-
DUCTS NIGHT SCHOOLS, CON-
FERENcES, BANKING COURSES,
ETC.

Max thurman, IL. D., writing in
The Catholic World gives some il
lustrations of the revival of Catholic
social activity in France. Prior to
the war, he says, there were no So
called workingmen's Christian unions
OF any Importance. But today-and
this is another good symptom of Cath
olic activity-they are establishing
themselves particularly in Paris, open
ing registry Offices, labor bureaus, and
departments of legal advice. One can
only hope these associations will pros
per and develop.
For those employed in commerce
and industry, there is the larger Pari-
sian Union, founded in 1887 by sew
enteen young clerks, old pupils of the
Friars, and members of a pious con-
fraternity, placed under the patronage
of St. Benedict Labre. 1t numbers
already about nine thousand members,
grouped in seventy-fve sections
throughout the environs of Paris, and
affiliated with similar unions in other
important cities. This association is
professional in outline and constitu-
tion and distinctly Catholic in spirit
and personnel. 1t is one of the models
in France of Christian unionism. It's
primary aim is the mutual benefit of
it's members, effected through the reg
istry office, the legal council, a COOP
erative society, a loan office and a CO.
operative restaurant.
"The Paris union of clerks extends
it's activity to night schools, banking
courses, conferences, library and a
monthly bulletin. Religion is the ac-
tuating spirit of the organization. In
the corporation of Partisan clerks, this
union plays an important part"

THE POPE'S HOSPITAL
HOLY FATHER SOLIcITOUS FOR
PRIESTS OF ROME. .

The Holy Father has fitted out a
hospital for the use of the priests of
Rome and of men employed by the
Holy See.
This is the old papal hospice of
Santa Marta which Benedict XIV has
converted to the uses of a hospital
Most modern equipments; the best
doctors, nuns in charge of the estab-
lishment, all the latest scientific dis
coveries - these characterize the
Pope's hospital. His thorough going
spirit and his big heart are manifest
ed in the enterprise. He himself Wis
it's the hospital three or four times a
week and he goes round to every pa
tient in it. One of the young priests
of Rome, who died of cancer recently,
had his last hours soothed by the
visit and blessing of the Bishop, the
Vicar of Christ. Nor does his display
of love for his priests end here. If it
happens one of them cannot pay the
hospital bills, the Pope will do So,
from his own private purse.

WOMEN OF TODAY
CARDINAL GIBBONS ExTOLS S
HOME WOMEN AND MOTHER
HOOD.

Standing before a class of 522 can
didates for confirmation in Holy Trim
ity Church, Washington, last week,
His Eminence, James Cardinal Glib
bons, digressed long enough from his
sermon to pay feeling tribute to
women of the home and hearthstone
The utterance of Cardinal Gibbons
was of great significance in day and
at the very time when the nation S
women are most strongly turning to
political power and kindred interests,
far removed from the realms of child
and roof tree.
'The most heroic women in the life
of today declared Cardinal Gibbons,
"are the wives and mothers who con.
centrate their time and thought on
their husbands and children. Their
spirit is the spirit of Christ"
Of women showing heroic devotion
he said:
Il am reminded of the old story of
the woman who sucked the blood OF
her husband, who had been poisoned
by the bite of a snake, in order that
he might live. l do not know how
true the story is, but / do know that
there is no heroism and self-sacrifice
comparable to that of a good woman
toward her husband
'All of this is in passing" he told
his listeners, reverting to. his subject
the duties of the Church to those
about to be received into it and to the
State as well.

HOLY Fathers FUND
COLLECTION FOR CHILDREN is
DAILY GROWING.

The Childrens Relief Fund being
raised by the Holy Father is rapidly
approaching the five-million lire mark
1t is notably swelled by the arrival
of each American mail with diocesan
collections, in addition to the latest
contributions from the British Isles
The Pope is in communication with
Swiss headquarters, and is giving the
question of the distribution of the
fund the most careful study, in order
to prevent the danger of the less de-
serving gaining at the expense of
greater sufferers. His Holiness has
received a touching letter of thanks
from the children of the Silesian Or
phanage at Vienna for aid rendered
them. Es

The Flow of Immigration

hand, it is found that perhaps 8,000,-
600 men of the age groups, from which
most immigrants come, were lost in
the conflict; while millions more were
manned Or diseased to an extent,
which might make their immigration
impossible under our laws. On the
other hand, Europe is laboring under
heavy burdens which may render it
difficult for those who remain to make
living; and the promised reduction
of standing armies and ornaments
will add to the difficulty by releasing
millions for the pursuits of peace, who
otherwise would follow the unproduc-
tive pursuits of war. Thus it is be-
lieved that future immigration will
depend primarily on the ability of
European countries to provide profit
able employment for those who have
survived the war and those who hith-
erto have been. occupied in the pur-
suit of war. The bureau finds, fur
ther, that the realization of long
sought political freedom may at least
temporarily retard the immigration of
various important immigrant peoples,
such as the Poles, Slovaks, and
others; but, on the contrary, it is felt
that the forcible transfer of many
peoples, like the Germans and Rus
slams, to the sovereignty of Poland
and other countries may stimulate the
immigration of such classes.
WAR WEAKNESS, among victors and
vanquished alike, is another factor,
which the bureau believes may be a
powerful incentive to immigration. It
realizes that the people of Europe gen.
orally are tired of war and as rule
not inclined to believe that permanent
peace is now assured They know
that their fathers and grandfathers
have been obliged to bear the burdens
OF recurring conflicts; they themselves
have repeated the experience, and
now they fear that their children are
destined to like inheritance"
