Toronto. Dec. 24.-Charles W. Bishop, general secretary of the na- tional council of the Y. M c. A. to- day issued a statement replying to the charge of the Vatican that the organ ization '.corrupts the faith of youth"
 We have a number of Roman Catholic members in almost every Y. M. C. A. branch in the dominion and in some cases as in Quebec the num- Der amounts to considerable portion of the membership but these members are free to use only the facilities of the institution they wish to.
 The religious program Of the association is entirely optional and is not thrust upon those who for any reason do not wish to avail them selves of it. It is quite true that the foundation of the Y. M. c. A. is what is known as the Evangelical Christian basis but there is nothing in our pro- gram aiming at proselytizing any who may come into the membership and hold different religious views

My Experience With Crimson Glover

rate of 121s pounds Of crimson clo-

pasture during the winter and early
spring as this afforded on the same
number of acres. l pastured calves
and hogs on this clover and they i'm
proved every day.
In the spring turned this piece Of
land and planted corn. believe that
the extra bushels of corn which I
received ore than compensated me

A woman's fondest hope is to stay
young. She often resorts to paints,

years. Some women pay large sums to
so-called "Beauty Doctors" in the be-

wear girlish dresses, thinking they can
-feol the world about their age. But
NO one is deceived. The more you try
to hide your age, the more it shows.
There is but one thing that holds old
age back, and that is health. Sickness
