PREvENTABLE DISEASES.

One of the most interesting
phases of modern development in
the science of healing is that
which aims at the prevention of
disease. To one unacquainted with
the immense progress already
made in this field by such men as
Pasteur, Gorgas and many others,
there is a decidedly instructive
lesson awaiting his study. Form
|erly the medical profession gave
its best efforts for the cure of
human ailments. Today expert
mentation along many lines has
led to the discovery of the causes
of not a few of the scourges that
have afflicted the race for cen
turtles. The logical result of these
discoveries has been to warn not
only the physician but the layman
as well Of those things which

VATICAN AND FRANCE
FRENCH GOVERNMENT APPROVES
= BISHOPS NAMED BY VATICAN
REVERSAL OF FORMER CUSTOM.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)

lBy N. y. w. y. news oerNlce')
For the first time, the present
French government has had occasion
to exercise the ''droit de regard" in
the appointment of Bishops, which
was granted by the Holy See. Through
the Nuncio, the Sovereign Pontiff sub
mitted for the governments approval,
before making the official announce
ment, the appointment of the Bishops
for the vacant sees of Annecy and
MeauX.
In the days of the Concordat, it was
the government of the republic which
proposed to the Vatican its candidates
for episcopal sees. After the separa-
ton, this rule fell into allegiance auto
matically, and the Pope made the ap-
pointments without consulting the civ
il authorities. Last year, when Par
lament was discussing the question
of the establishment of the embas-
sy at the Vatican, the government
made it known that the Holy See. upon
the renewal of relations, would grant
the 'droit de regard" that is to say,
the right to express an opinion on con-
templated appointments.
The new Bishops named after the
agreement between the two powers
are: Mgr. Gaillard, formerly vicar gen.
eral of Beauvais, now Bishop of
MeauX, and Mgr. Florent du Bots de la
Villerable, Auxiliary Bishop of Tours.

A PRACTICAL WAY FOR VO-
CATIONS.

The students Of the cathedral
schools Of Denver have taken up
seriously the subject of religious
vocations. Having heard much Of
the need of priests and Sisters in
the work of the Church, these
children last year made special
novena which ended on the feast
of the Immaculate Conception.
The object Of their prayers was
that as many as possible among
them might be called to one or
the other of these holy states.
Four members of the graduating
class responded to the call and
entered Sisterhoods or other re-
ligious vocations. This year the
novena was repeated, and the stu
dents look for similar results next
June.
Desiring to honor in some tan
gible way those Of their fellows
who have given themselves to God,
the pupils last week raised the
sum of $500, with which they in
tend to erect bronze tablet on
the wall at the entrance of the
new high school. This memorial
| will contain the names Of all for
mer students of the cathedral
schools who are now priests or
Sisters. In this way the students
wish to perpetuate the memory OF
those who embraced a higher
state and at the same time to
place before all a concrete remind
,er Of this high ideal. The memory
of the Sisters will be marked by
both their family and their relig-
-ious names.
It is not unusual to enlist the
prayers of school children in or
der to obtain certain favors from
heaven. It is common occur
renee, and Foch himself relied
greatly upon this means to secure
victory. Why, then, should it not
be a salutary practice, an efica.
cious one, to combine the prayers
of these young students in order
to promote vocations to the priest
hood or to the religious state? The

easily may be avoided. In this
way the average person is able in
not few cases SO to care for him
self as wholly to escape the raw
ages Of those Affections which
formerly were thought to be un-
avoidable.
To cite but one example. Since
the public health service OF this
state has inaugurated a campaign
of instruction with regard to the
dangers, the cause and prevention
Of tuberculosis, this disease grad
ually has been diminished among
our citizens. Today, Minnesota
stands among the very first OF the
forty eight states in controlling
effectively this terrible menace to
the human family. Ordinary pre-
cautions, frequently, will suffice to
preserve one from the initial IN
fiuence Of this disease. Prompt at
tention, on the other hand, will
serve to destroy the germs that
make such terrible inroads into
the, population.
When it was found and proven
that mosquitoes are carriers Of the
germs Of malaria and yellow fever,
that rats are bearers of the poten-
tial scourge Of bubonic plague,
public authorities at once took
measures to destroy these pests
The result has been that we are
|spared the awful stories Of yellow
fever epidemics that came regu
larly from the South; malaria is
seldom encountered, and the bu
bonic plague rarely gains admit

Made a Mess of the World.
Look at the great men who were on
the side of tEe State against the
Church. See what mess they have
made of Europe. He would even say
they had made mess of the United
States, in spite of their Fourteen
Points. While the Pope was preach
ing charity and peace, these men
could only agree in passing acts Of
death and murder. The statesmen
had piled the lot of misery and death
higher on the shoulders of the poor
all over Europe than ever in all it's
history.
Yes, the thinkers and governors re-
jected the Church. They were scep-

were. All the notorieties, from Sir
Oliver Lodge down to Conan Doyle,
had honored the mediums with a visit.
If they wanted to put medium to
crucial test they had only to ask for
a tip on a horse-race. That would ex-
pose how little the spirits knew about
futurity. They couldn't even cure

they tapped the other world at the

A NEW DANIEL COME TO
JUDGMENT?

Several weeks ago a case was
tried in Denver before a certain
Judge Graham. Briefly, the cir
cumstances were these. An Ital-
ian woman, mother of five chill
dren and wife of a notary of that
city, was hailed into court ON the
charge Of not keeping her house
and her children tidy--at least
certain social service workers
were not satisfied with the con-
ditions found there. So, under
the advice of a medical student,
this woman, member Of Mt. Car
mel parish, was informed that she
must submit to an operation which
would prevent her from bearing
more children. It was a remedy
like that of the man who suggest
ed as cure for. sore toe the
severing of the foot near the col
lar bone.
Judge Graham, according to
the account Of the case, suggested
that an order be entered for this
operation, with the penalty Of the
loss Of her five children in case
Of a refusal to submit. Pressed
later on, the judge stated that he
did not order this, but merely
advised it with the consent of the
parties concerned. The two par
ents at first yielded to fear, and
then on further advice from
friends, they stoutly refused. Jan
uary 10 sis the day set by the
social workers for the test.
The mere fact that such a de-
cision could be even entertained
in a sane, Christian community,
makes one ponder over the posi-
bilities for evil in the eugenic
crusade of birth control now MAX
ing such a stir throughout the
nation. Even presuming that Mrs.
Cassidente's house were filthy,
what proportion is there between
the :" crime" and the punishment
Of forbidding her to bring chill
dren into the world?

HELP RECOVER THE PLANKS

Somebody stole all the planks
forming the side boards on the fiat
cars that were used for hauling
rocks from Cerro Grande to Lorenzo.
The cars were stored on siding at
Blackfoot on Tuesday night and We'd
nesday morning the planks were
gone.
If you see some fellow with some
new planks just cast your eye over
them and see If they have the dents
in that indicate that they have been
used for hauling rock. If they have,
count the planks and get whatever
other information you can about
them and report to w. l.. Young at
Blackfoot.
These lost planks are 2x12x1S feet
and 2x12x2O feet. They had all had
spikes driven into them to hold them
in place.
Any man who would steal planks
from the railroad company would
steal planks from you. The railroad
has paid their taxes and are entitled
to the protection of this public and
it's officers. Some of these days when
the armistice is off, we will tell you
more about the railroad company's
taxes and the liberal amount they
have paid. For the present just
help us find those stolen planks.
