A METHOD of treatment that
has always appealed to popular i'm
agination is blood TRANSMISSION. The
idea of replacing bad blood with
good seems logical, and then the
notion is deeply grounded that the.
blood is tinged with all of the mala-
dies of the flesh and of the spirit.
Thus, old Samuel Pepys relates
the case of man who was insane:
He appeared before the Royal Soci-
ETY. and one of the learned Fellows
let out of his body quantity of
blood and replaced it with the blood
of q sheep. The idea was that with
the removal of his own blood, the
insanity would go, too, and some OF
the qualities of the sheep, being
docile, fiaccid animal. would enter
in and neutralize his maniacal hu-
mour.
We cannot believe they ever got
any of the sleeps blood into hu-
mans blood stream because a reac-
ton would be set up which would
cause OedCu. lie UlOOO WtAASh 40 P~e
into another persons veins in blood
TRANSMISSION must be very carefully
selected and tested to see that it is
compatible in every way.
Attempts at blood transfusions
are very old. The nearest authentic
record we have is in 1865, when
Richard Lower united the artery of
one dog to the vein of another by
means of a goose quill. Not until
1900. however, was blood transfu-
sion put on scientific basis, and not
until comparatively recently was
the technique simplified enough to
make its use widespread and fire.
quAnt.
Work Of Landsteiner
The discovery in 1900 which put
blood TRANSMISSION on a scientific
basis was that Of Landsteiner. who
received the Nobel prize for it. 1t
was the fact that the blood Of one
person may clump the red cells OF
another, or may dissolve them. Only
donors who are tested to see that
their blood will be accepted by the
recipient are used.

England In quest o. young men
to educate for the Catholic Priest,
hood. Right here on the Mount
of the Atonement we are anxious
to establish school to educate
young men as priests for our own
Order. Unfortunately we have not
the means to erect building for
the purpose"
Mr.. Reid replied: THAT being
so, when I return to my home in
Reidville, on the outskirts of Wa
terbury, will send you my check
for five thousand dollars to build
such a school,"
"Why, Mr.. Reid, you astonish
me-" was the reply Of the Father
General, II thought you were a
poor man."
$50 am" replied Mr.. Reid,
"but my parents left me small
piece of rocky ground, and I have
toiled early and late in tilling it.
I have never married; neither
have I wasted anything or ex-
pended upon myself one unneces-
sary penny. And so by degrees I
have accumulated in the bank a
sum sufficient To fulfil the prom
Use just made to you"
Perpetual Member
Before leaving Graymoor, as an
earnest of the larger amount to
follow, Mr.. Reid gave the Father
General, $50, which in effect con-
stituted him a Perpetual Member
of the Union That Nothing BE
Lost. On his return to Waterbury
he mailed to us his check for
five thousand, two hundred dol
lars, under date of December 21st,
st. Thomas Day, the Seventh An
niversary of that eventful morn
ing when its founder first con-
ceived the notwithstanding
Be-Lost in the command of our
Lord: Gather up the fragments
that remain that nothing be lost"
Immediately upon the receipt
of this check, the five thousand
dollars suggested to the Editor of
The Lamp the "five barley loaves"
and the two hundred dollars the
"two small fishes" mentor ed In
the Gospel. The happy recipient
of the check was not long in COM
municating the facts incident
thereto to Bishop Cusack. BY re-
turn mail came back his Lord
ships answer: after such won-
derful answer to your prayer,
how could T hesitate any longer
to approve and bless the Union
That-Nothing -Be-Lost."
When st. Francis of Assist was
moved by the Holy Spirit to found
his Third Order, destined to
achieve incalculable good and to
sanctify innumerable souls, Divine
Providence led to the Seraphic
Patriarch two ideal instruments to
serve as the First Tertiaries,
Blessed Luchese and his wife,
Bonadonna.
Practice localized
It was the same Divine Provi-
dence Who led John Reid to
Grayrnoor to idealize the practice
of the principles of the Union
That Nothing Be-Lost, and to
carry to an extreme almost I'M
paralleled in annals of the pro-
pagation of the faith the Rule
of Action proposed by the U. N.
B. L. to its members, viz: To
spend upon self the minimum
rather than the maximum of what
is at our disposal; that we may
have the more to give to God,
and to those whose need Is great
er than our own"
During the ten years Of his life
after his enrolment as a Per-
petual Member of the Union-That-
Nothing-Be-Lost, John Reid con-
tinued his rigid practice of ex-
treme self-denial. He was faith
full to the no waste rule Of the
u. N. B. L. to the very end.

CURRAN PROPOSES
PUBLIC DEFENDER
Would Prevent Conviction
of Innocent Persons,
Judge Declares.

A public defender should be ap-
pointed to represent poor persons in
criminal court, Judge Edward M.
Curran yesterday told joint meeting
of the junior sections of the District
Bar Association and the Women's Bar
Association.
The Police Court jurist said public
defender would keep many cases from
being brought to trial and would be a
safeguard" against the conviction of
innocent persons.
In some cases, he said, persons Of
limited means are inadequately rep
resented in court, fact that some
times results in convictions where
acquittal might result if they had
more competent counsel.
Judge Nathan Cayton of Small
Claims Court took similar view. The
provision of public counsel for persons
financially unable to secure a lawyer
would mean no loss of income to prac-
ticing attorneys, he pointed out.
He said the contention that "the
State should not both prosecute and
defend" had no bearing on the matter,
because organized society should be
as interested in freeing the innocent
as convicting the guilty"
The meeting was presided over by
George Monk, chairman of the junior
section of the District Bar Association.

questions of the Wagner Labor Re- lations Act; Public Health, Hous- ing, and Social Security; Public Works and WPA; Farm Legisla- tion, the Monopoly issue, Arma- ments and Foreign Policy, and Anti-Lynching Bill and many others.
 For the past two years confer ences have been held to discuss such issues, and have had good re- suits in securing the enactment of progressive measures. This year 8 great conference is more necessary than ever. It will provide an op- portunity to exchange opinions and to spread information, thereby educating the people of Connec- ticut to the importance of such legislative questions. For all pro- gressive individuals and organiza- tions who desire it the conference will provide a program and a chance for cooperative support to that program. Such united sup port will undoubtedly lead to the passage of much necessary legis- lation in the interests of our peo- pie.
 We therefore cordially invite you to elect delegates to a conference on Social and Labor Legislation in the Hall of the House, State Capi- tol, Hartford, Saturday, January 14th, 1889.

DRUM CORPS PLAN
 VAUDEVILLE SHOW
St. StanisIaus Juniors tC Celebrate Second Anni=
 yersary in January

The St. Stanislaus Jr., Fife anc Drum Corps will celebrate the sec. ond anniversary of its origin or January 21. A vaudeville show and dancing will feature the evenings program.
 Theodore Olschefski organized fife and drum corps on January 1, 1887, and since that time, they have compiled an enviable record in con- petition with other units through out the state, winning many rst and second place honors. Com mendation is justly due to T. D. O'Connor and John w Stokes who have collaborated to give the boys their knowledge of the fife and drum.
 The vaudeville program. under arrangement by Theodore Olschef- ski, will show well-known artists of radio and many concert artists. The Krakowska orchestra will play for dancing following the show
 Invitations have been extended to other fife and drum corps throughout the state and a large gathering is expected.
