CATHOLICS OF FRANCE. AWAKEN
Evidence That Alcohol is Destroy
ing Manhood of France Arouses
Alarm; Council of Tours
Takes Action

ten years in France, says that France
is the country most ravagcd by tu-
berculosis. Two-thirds OF her crimi-
nails and one-third OF her insane are
alcoholics. Sixty per cent of her
idiots are born OF alcoholic parents.
The Breton race. once symbolic of
strength and great stature, is now
short, squat, uncomely.
From 1900 10 1914 the proportion
OF refusaIs for the army was highest
in the most alcoholzed apartments,
reaching SO per cent in the Manche,
IS per cent in the Ornc, 90 per cent
in the Vosges. Entire villages rotten
with alcohol were unable TO furnish
single conscript Pure fruit alco-
hols being expensive are much less
used than industrial alcohols whose
bad taste is masked by poisonous
herb essences, cxcitants and stupe-
6ants. Arrests for traffic in drugs
have quadrupled since 1916.
France Dying From Alcoholism
The Father Mathew Man, a Catholis
publication OF Chicago, commenting on
this, says:
France is dying from alcoholism not
only physically but also spiritually. Sixty
one per cent of Frances crimes are COM
mitted on Sunday and Monday.
Able Pasdeloup writes us that the
present awakening of Catholic forces to
be successful must be accompanied by
Catholic anti-alcohol movement, adding:
1--WE need virile intellects that spend their
spare hours in studying instead OF vast
ing them in taverns. We need moral
courage which wine depreciates and uu-
dermines. We need heroes of virtue
whom wine debilitates even before the
stincts and obscuring the superior faculty
of judgment. We need shepherds that
guide and not sheep that follow"
French Council of Tours Makes Laws
French shepherds are making up. The
French Council of Tours made the fol-
lowing laws:
Canon ll6-Parents must inspire their
children from an early age by word and
example with a very great horror for al
coholism. They must accustom them to
sobriety and keep them when grown up
from frequenting cabarets.
Canon ll7-Teaehers in all Christian
schools shall carefully explain to their pu-
pills the dangers of alcoholism and the
available remedies for it
Canon llS-Through catechetical in
structon priests shall explain to the chill
dren con6ded to them the bodily and
spiritual damages which follow in the
wake of alcoholism.
Canon ll9-Every year, If possible,
preferably in Lent, pastors should give
instruction on temperance and remind the
faithful of the fearful dangers of alcohol
ism and the remedies able to conjure
them.
Canon 120-Pastors and teachers of
youth shall lend aid and support to those
who publicly fight against alcoholism.
They will also use all their authority to

you say, the natural outcome of
your pity. The situation was a ro-
mantle one. 1t may be that the ro-
nance. and not real love, is what is
troubling you now.
Whether that is true or not there
are many angles TO consider. Your
husband loves you and needs you.
And if you should be mistaken in
thinking you love this other man.
and should break up your home to
marry him, you would plunge all
three Of you into greater unhappi-
ness than that you feel now. There
is a great deal of difference between
visiting an invalid and giving to him
of pity and tenderness occasionally,
and administering to him hour after
hour, while you are yet young and
cannot help longing sometimes for
gayety. You might spoil the beauty
of your friendship, instead of en-
HANGING it.
But don't try to make this fight
alone. Tell your husband and ask
him to help you. Together, you
must work out the solution to your
problem. An outsider, such as l,
can give suggestions, but cannot
solve the problem.

CARDS BEAR TOO
LlTTLEPoSTAGE
Public Slow to Follow New
Mail Rates.

More, than 600 picture post cards
were mailed at the Indianapolis post
office Thursday without sufficient
postage, it was announced today by
Superintendent of Mails A. b.
Mundelle. The new postal rates re-
quire 2 cents on post cards unless
Government cards are used.
There is practically no use any
more for the 1-cent stamp" said
Mrs. Ella Parker, assistant post
master, UNLESS it is used with a
u cent stamp"
Mrs. Parker said large number
of transient newspapers, those
mailed By individuals other than pub
fishers, were being mailed without
enough postage. The old rate was
l-cent for four ounces. The new
rate is 9 cents for two ounces, or
each fraction Of an ounce, up to
eight ounces. Over eight ounces
they take the parcel post zone rate.

1t is the eternal triangle-the wife.
husband and man friend. The friend,
a handsome, wealthy bachelor, was
blinded and his face was marred a
year ago in a fire in which he saved
the life of the woman.
Since then she has visited him
often. She knew he loved her. Her
husband knew it, too. The inevi
table, foreseen by the woman, hap
pencd. She fell in love with the
blind man. She had tried to pre-
vent this by begging her husband
to accompany her on her visits. But
he. sure she never could love an
other man, had laughed at her fears.
How will 1t end? She does not
know. Neither do I.
But l do know that her husband
was blind. too. He gave her the pro-
lection of his home and his name, but
he failed to give her the protection
she needed to guard that home and
name. Perhaps they may yet be
preserved, but it will be in spite Of,
not because of, the husband.

DRAWER, CONTlNU ED.
Besides, l think, Little Marquise,
that / have made John feel that /
am too utterly devoted 10 him.
/ noticed the other night when l
danced with Melville Sartoris he
seemed quite as surprised as dis
gruntled. His way of describing the
episode to Sydney Carton was really
funny. / laughed over 1t heartily
even when my heart was aching a
little.
In that letter he told me more
than he told Sydney. for j read be
tween the lines that he expected me
to be devoted to him and a wall
flower except when he himself
danced with me or obtained part
ners for me. In fact. you may not
believe ii, Little Marquise. but l
smiled all through Jacks letter. 1t
was so like him.
Someone has said that laughter is
the weeping OF the soul which Is, l
suppose, only another way Of saying
that true humor is dangerously near
to tears. | told this to Ruth the
other day and she said that TO her,
laughter at times was only the soul
weeping over its lost illusions and
we poor beings knew that if we did
not laugh, we too would also cry.
wonder if sgd will tell Jack that
he sent his letter 10 me. | hope he
will not. 1t would embarrass me to
know that my husband knew l had
seen some part of his inner con-
seriousness that for some untold rea-
son he had never shown to me.
I am very glad he sent it TO me,
however, for taken in conjunction
with what Paula Perier told me Of
what she had learned of men, / feel
as though sometimes ! am 'implac-
cably unforgiving. 1 can't quite
swallow my pride yet and let Jack
see that l do want TO forgive and
forget and start from. that Land-of-
Beginning Again that he is always
talking about.
After all. Jack is my husband. /
am his wife and I is a silly notion
that / have that we should set up
sucn a hypocritical performance as
living I'm the same house and pre-
tending to the world that we are
husband and wife. while all the
while | have erected a barrier be-
tween us so high and so impene-
trable that neither OF us can sur
mount IL.
Now. / am going to inaugurate a
new plan which L think will meet
with your approval. For some rea-
son | have always thought that you
were a bit of a flirt, Little Marquise.
and that you kept your kingly lover
by not seeming too anxious to keep
him. Here is the plan: / am going
to be as gay as possible and L am go
ing TO flirt a little. | know that Mr.
Sartoris is interested IN me-every
woman knows when a man likes her
even if he does not tell her-so. with
malice aforethought, / am going to
