IN. THE ALPS
ST. BERNARD DOGS AID IN CAP.
.,TuRE or MuRDERERs

st. Bernard dogs belonging to the
famous monastery Of St Bernard are
being given credit by the police for
the capture of three Italians who have
been arrested in connection with the
murder of three travellers who were
done to death near the, monastery in
the Alps.
The monastery was aroused near
midnight by the sound of, revolver
shots, and the monks, believing that
some traveller had lost his way in the
snow, unleashed the dogs. They were
followed to a spot quarter of a mile
from the monastery where the bodies
of three men, riddled with bullets.
were found. Marks of skis showed
that three men had fled the scene
after robbing the travellers of all they
possessed. The dogs traced the, ski
trail back to the village of Gignod,
whence the three travellers had come
and there the police arrested two
brothers and their uncle, who had been
seen in company with the murdered
men and who knew they carried con-
siderable money.
The police theory is that the mur-
derers, knowing the quarry could not
reach the monastery, before midnight,
waited till dark and followed them,
but overlook the party too near the
monastery, and, when they heard the
baying of the dogs following the shots,
fled instead of disposing of the bodies
in some crevasses, as was their inten-
ton. 1 = q

ING PEOPLE

BY a special Indult granted to the
Bishops of the United States, work
ing people who cannot easily observe
the common law of the Church can
eat meat once a day on all days of
fast and abstinence throughout the
year including the Lenten Season, eX.
cept Fridays, Ash Wednesday, the
Wednesday in Holy Week, Good Fri

ton includes not only the individual

as we'll.
BY dispensation of the Holy See
men serving in the army and navy

The Church expressly recommends

substitute for the fast or abstinence
some pious work such as attendance
at the Lenten devotions, hearing of
Mass daily, family recitation of the
Rosary, staying away from amuse-
ments, frequent confession and COM
munion, Stations of the Cross and
alms-giving to the poor.
Those who doubt whether they are
excused from the observance of fast
ing or of abstinence should consult
their pastors, or confessors, who are
proper judges in. such questions. and
who are empowered in individual
cases to dispense from fast or absti.

There has been many statements |

that are founded on nothing but su-

roneous, for flax, it is well established
takes most of its sustenance in the
form of nitrogen from the air as the
root of the flax stalk, is seldom more
than two inches long and is a top root
with no tendrils or feeds, nor does the
plant stool out as is the case with
wheat or corn. The roots of wheat
sometimes reach nearly four feet in
to the ground seeking sustinance and
this compared to the short tap root of
the flax plant proves conclusively that
flax is the least injurious of all the
field crops. This is stated as fact
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. Another supposition is that flax
ruins the ground for any succeeding
crop. This is refuted by the custom
of planting flax as the first crop on

FOXES NUISANCE DOWN STATE.

Farmers About Milton Are Complain
ing Bitterly on DepredatOrs.
The rabbit and quail hunting sea-
son closed last week, with quite a
number of gunners in the field, and
several large bags were reported. This
has been one of the most successful
seasons for years. Game has been
plentiful down State and the weather
ideal for the sport. Despite the large
number of both rabbit and quail
killed, gunners report that many have
been left and expect next season to be
as good as this, conditions being right.
Farmers around Milton are complain
ing of the depredations of foxes. They
have become so numerous and bold
that the stealing of poultry in the
daylight is becoming serious. The
reason for the large number of foxes
here is that the farmers warned the
fox hunters from their lands a few
years ago and the foxes have multi
piled until they have become nui-
sance.
