 When Father Bernard J. Quinn returned from France, where he had served as an American chap lain during the World war, he ob- tained an old express company building in Brooklyn and started a church-the Catholic church of St.. Peter Claver. The shrine of St. Therese of the Little Flower in that church has since become one of the greatest Catholic shrines in the world.
 The history of the shrine had its beginning in the little town of Alencon, France, whither Father Quinn had come to visit the birth place of Therese Martin, the de- voted Carmelite nun who had done such pious and helpful things. The fact an English couple lived at the hallowed home induced Father Quinn to take up his residence there. During his six months stay there he celebrated the first mass that the house knew.
 Now on May IT, 1925, after Father Quinn was established in his Brooklyn church, the nun Therese was canonized as St. Therese of the Little Flower. Be- cause Father Quinn knew some- thing of her story and her works and had lived in the house where she was born, he inducted & nos vena which was the first feast in the celebration of canonization.
 A relic of the saint and . life- like statue of her were set up in a shrine, and for nine consecu. tive days services were held there. Soon word spread among the wor- shipers that there was miraculous power in this shrine like that al the Lourdes in France and St. Anne de Beaupre in Quebec. Miracles were reported to have cured the lame and the sick and halt. The crowd of worshpiers grew until

Medical Association, and or

 One of the most common and at the same time one of the most serious conditions confronting the medical profession today is the con- trol of the failing heart of men at middle age.
 Dr David Reisman recently dis cussed this subject before a. medi- cal society. He pointed out that modern men lead active lives ana seem to get along quite well until they reach 50 years of age. Then they go to pieces. Scientific study reveals that the breaking down IS due to changes in the heart ana m
 the circulation. In the vast ma jority of cases the breakdown IS not due to any infection of the heart affecting the valves, which IS one of the most common causes or heart disease. It seems to be asso- ciated with high blood pressure and with some changes in the blood vessels that feed the heart with nutriment. These blood vessels are called the coronary arteries. In- numeroble records of deaths re- gently reported indicated that the coronary arteries were responsible. Of special interest is that act that the condition seems to be prevalent also among physicians who, as everyone knows, lead extremely strenuous lives and carry the mem tai burdens of vast numebrs of peo- pie.
 The increase in heart disease is revealed in the statistics of large insurance companies as well as in the government reports. Whereas 111.2 persons out of every 100000 died from heart disease in 1910. the number was 160 in 1924. In 1928, the deaths from heart disease in Philadelphia were three times as many as from tuberculosis in all it's forms, and almost twice as many from diseases of the kidney of can cer.

thousands came to worship and pray each day.
 A perpetual novena was estab- lished at the shrine and Father Quinn estimates that an average Of 10000 worshipers have visited the shrine weekly since the novena be- gan.
 Because the church was found- ed in a negro neighborhood, 1t was named after St. Peter Claver the Catholic priest who lived and la bored in Cartagena. Colombia, in the days of negro slavery. He used to sign his name Peter, Slave of the Slaves Forever" Tn his canon ixation he was proclaimed patron of all colored missions, apostle of the negro race.
 Thus, this church became the first Catholic church for negroes in Brooklyn.

 When using the quantitative showing of tricks only bids of one of suit vary according to the po- sition of the bidder. First and sec- i ond hands open with two quick tricks and four probable tricks. Third hand is required to hold two and one-half quick tricks. Fourth hand should hold at least three quick tricks and be in a position to stop the opponents from going game.
 All original bids of more than one of a suit in this system are made with the same strength in all four positions, with possibly one exception; that is, when fourth | hand and holding nothing but six probable tricks all in one minor, 1t Is better to pass, as opening with either one or two may prove rather { disastrous if opponents arrive at a game going declaration in either major.
 Original Suit Bids of Two
 The most important thing to re- member when using the quantlta- : tive showing of tricks system is that no two bid Is forcing bid ex- cept when the tWo-club artificial bid is being used. The requirements under this system for original two bids are very definite. You must hold at least three high card tricks and three other probable tricks. Bids Of one of suit deny the hold ing of more than two quick tricks and three more probable tricks, or five in all. Bids of two of a suit assure your partner three quick tricks, and that your hand will pro- duce six tricks in the suit named, or even if partner shifts to no | trump or another suit.
 Original Suit Bids of Three Under this system, original bids | of three in d suit are made when ever you are desirous of having partner assist your bid when hold ] ing as litle as one probable trick. Your three bid should guarantee partner that you hold at least eight | probable tricks and are long Tn | trump. Partner does not have to have normal trump support In or der to assist.
 Original Suit Bids of Four | An original bid of four of a ma jor should only be made when you are practically certain of going game in your own hand or need only the assistance of a queen or , jack from partner to produce the 1 10 tricks.
 Minor bids of four are rarely made as they must assure partner that you feel confident of taking 10 tricks in the suit named.
 | Original bids of five of minor suit are made only with hands con- taining II probable tricks. | While we have shown original suit bids of four of major and hve of a minor, it must be remembered that users of tk.s system also use the artificial two-club bid. and they will more often bid two clubs which is a forcing bid, rather than imme- diately bid for game in either a major or d minor suit. This two- club convention was explained m one of our previous articles and is a part of this quantitative showing of tricks system.

of 100 gallons per minute. He has
cemented the sides and also placed
a hermitically seal over on it so it
will be pure at all times.
Local Dealers Patronize Him
A story was recently circulated
that the soda water dealers in Plen-
tywood did not patronize his estab-
lishment but he said this report was
not true, and that the dealers in Plen-
tywood buy from his exclusively, with
the exception of some brands of malt.
Many Varieties Made
Mr.. DeSilva makes and markets a
great many varieties of sodas and
soft drinks in his establishment, and
although we did not get a complete
list of all Of them, here are the ones
he enumerated in the line of sodas:
Loganberry, lime, peach, strawberry,
plain lemon, lemon sour, lemonella,
lemon kist, root beer, ordinary grape,
and blue bird grape, cherry, plain or
ange, and orange kist, raspberry,
cream and iron brew. He also manu-
features cherry, orange, grape and
loganberry cider, ginger ale, High
Life malt, Three Star malt, and also
stocks Babst Blue Ribbon malt.
Equipment Very Complete
Mr.. DeSilva is now remodeling his
soda factory so that it viii be the
most up-to-date plant in the north
west. The machinery includes bottle
washer, sterilizer, c%arbonator, water
s~oftener, crowner, and many other
articles. He has a modern syrup mix
ing room that cannot be excelled
anywheres.
Wildwood beverages are sold to a
great extent on the Great Northern
banch from McCabe to Opheim, and
in order to take care Of the trade he
has to carry a stock of more than a
carload of bottles and 400 cases.
With the remodeling Of his plant
so as to turn out the products with
more speed, it is expected that Wild
wood beverages will be sold over a
greater territory than at the present
time.

Famous Writing Rock
Should be Preserved

You as a public spirited citizen and
a loyal "home booster" will no doubt
be interested in this movement tc
preserve the Writing Rock" which
is located in western Divide county
N. D., about six miles south of AL
kabo.
Owing to it's exposed position and
the increasing interest it is receiving
souvenier hunters and others are
scratching names on it and otherwise
mutilating it. In order to save it
from further damage it must be
protected or removed to a safer place.
Even now a proposal is being made
TO have it moved to Bismarck. This
should not be done as it is of inesti-
mable value out here.
In the fall of 1928 we lost a COM
panion stone which was removed to
Grand Forks. We must not let this
remaining one get away from us. We
you may already know, this curiosity
has become we'll known all over our
three Counties, Divide, Williams and
Sheridan, therefore, it concerns us all
to get together on this move to pre-
serve it, and properly, right out here
where it r~ightfully belongs. 1t be-
longs to us, and here it is Of the
greatest value.
