Catholic Data
But Catholics Go to Church Be-
 cause They Have to-"

cause They Have to-"
 YES, we have to. The church demands that we assist at mass 68 times e year-52 Sundays and 6 week days which are special feasts known as holy days of obligation. But to intimate that Catholics go ONLY because they have to is as unjust as 1t Is untrue. This is not mere statement. It is a fact that you can prove to yourself in an easy and interesting manner.
 If you happen to be in the vicin- ity of any Catholic church, large or small, urban or suburban, on Thurs day afternoon or evening which im- mediately precedes the first Friday of any month, step in through the door and look about. You'll be amazed to find the church thronged with people-some waiting in line along the sides, some praying in pews, some leaving, others coming in.
 What are all these people doing on @ Thursday afternoon? They are taking time of from their jobs, their shopping, their pleasures, to so to confession so that they may re- ceive Holy Communion at mass on the following morning, which !s the First Friday of the month.
 Do these people have to do this2 Not a bit of itl Just once 6 year is the requirement. for confession and Communion. Yet at nearly every Catholic church in the land these same crowds are going to church on a Thursday and 6 Fri- day every month-freely, willingly, lovingly--as they do many other un- commanded things-for the honor and glory of God.
 The church gives each Catholic his foundation--the correct founda- ton, but only foundation. How well he builds on that foundation depends upon the individual and the Grace of God.
 If Your Idea Was Wrong in regard to Catholic church. going, perhaps 1t Is wrong about other Catholic practices and beliefs. It was for the purpose of explaining to you things from the viewpoint of the people who actually believe and do them, that our little society was formed. Won't you, therefore. take advantage of our offer, to ex- plain to you in e brief manner, the why and wherefore of any Catholic subject7

Weekly Sunday School Lesson-- GOD LEADS A PEOPLE
Text: Exodus 1s:l7-22; 14:l0.lS

How well the action of Pharaoh in our lesson typifies the attitude and action of modern leaders to. day who make concessions, only to withdraw or nullify them once they are madel Pharaoh, under the in- fiuence of the scourges that came upon Egypt agreed to let the Israeli ties go; but no sooner had they started when he changed his mind and sent the hosts of Egypt after them to force them back into servi- tude, or to destroy them.
 Nor was this change only on the part of Pharaoh. When the children of Israel, who had yielded to Moses pleadings and made this start toward liberty, found themselves in suffering and in danger, their enthusiasm waned; 1t seemed better to 90 back and be in slavery in Egypt than to die in the wilderness. Is not that the way in which masses of people have again and again failed their lead- CTS?
 Progress is not e necessary or in- evitable thing. It rests very defi. nitely upon vision and conviction and courage, upon the determina- ton to 90 on in spite of danger and difficulty. It iS for this very reason that progress is slow and that the progress that we gain Is often so apt to Do wiped out by reaction.
 It Is difficult to bring the vision and enthusiasm and endurance of 6 Moses into the consciousness and will of c whole people. That is why mankind has again and again re. peated this experience of Israel in the wilderness, in spite of all the faith and hope and achievement that leaders have given,

COMPENSATION CASE WITHDRAWN

The compensation claim of An- drew Gaborcik of 6l9 South Main street against the Byrolly Transpor- tation company which had been appealed to the superior court from a finding by Compensation Commissioner James M. Lynch, was settled today for $75. Notice of withdrawal of the appeal was filed yesterday.
 Gaborcik claimed to have been injured December 10, 1885 while working for the trucking company. It was his contention that he suf- fered a permanent injury to the back, but Commissioner Lynch failed to recognize this and ordered the trucking concern to pay him only $6.44 which represented corn- pensation for time lost from work.

None Heard
 Although several such actions have been filed, according to Clerk Irving w. Pasternak of the city court, none has as yet been heard, and no orders or judgments have been passed in the city court on such measures.
 The number of attachment suits is indeterminable in view of the fact that they are entered in similar style to the ordinary small civil actions filed regularly in the city court.
 Before the enactment of the new law, there were thousands of in- stances in which creditors, wives, and litigants had the wages of deb- tors and husbands attached. This not only proved embarrassing to the victim, who was sometimes unjustly attached, but also proved trouble some to the factories and other places of employment.
 New Setup
 Under the new set-up the creditor or wife who otherwise would seek an attachment of wages, will bring an action in the city court. The judge will hear both the petitioner and the defendant, decide his fi- nancial condition, and order him tc pay a certain amount each week.

and DR.. E. P. Joslin, authority on
the subject, warns that if there is
any diabetic heredity in ones
family, excess weight must be
avoided.
In l,c0O cases Of diabetes, LOT
were thin and 634 were over
weight. Women were found to
have a higher diabetic tendency
than men, and to develop the dis
ease after 40, when they begin to
take on weight.
That obesity is the precursor
of diabetes was indicated in the
study of 673 cases by DR.. S.
Franklin Adams of the Mayo
Clinic who found that 81 per cent
were overweight and that S2.9 per
cent were more than 10 per cent
overweight at the onset Of dia-
beteS.
Even with the development Of
the disease in the young, over
weight appears to be a factor. In
vestigation shows that more than
80 per cent of diabetes under 20
were more than 10 per cent over
weight before diabetes developed.
There may be an herdity of
diabetes in your family of which
you are unaware, and if you are
excessively overweight it would
pay you to have a blood sugar
test made to see whether you are
within normal range. When
there has been diabetes in your
family, the thing to do is to have
one of these tests made every
year.
While the idea is still prevalent
that diabetes results from an ex-
cess of sugar and starch in the
diet, DR.. Joslin believes it to be
caused by an excess of food rather
than by carbohydrates alone. He
points out that the Japanese as
a race consume large quantities
of carbohydrates, but are less
prone to diabetes than other races.
If there Is any diabetes in your
family keeping your weight at

lish organization reflects the prev
alence of the disease and should

clared that the blue color scheme

tary Is not fearful that the Fine
