Cuny, at St. Pat- being well rell interpreted by and John Sullivan. Mrs. Foilow| the mass, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was given by Rev. Peter J. Cuny. Father Cunyv preached also, his theme being the spiritual phase of the food conservation which President Wilson has recommended to the na- tion, in order that America may help win the war. This topic, he said, is no new ome in the Catholic church, which for centuries has legislated the matter of self-restraint as regards eating and drinking. It has been the fashion of the unthinking world to ridicule the abstinence from meat en- joined by the church on Friday: but now mankind is coming hack to this sage practice, and “meatless days” are observed in the nations So, 0o, the custom of abstinence, of reguiating the quantity of food dur- ing Lent to one full meal, breakfa and supper being lisht collations. also being copied throughout the world, not alone from economy’s sake. but because dietists will declare that one full meal daily is the hygienic rule for ma The church has ever held that man was to eat to live: but from earliest centuries she has advocated restric- tion of appetite, as the certain means of restraining passions. What she has ruled has been strietly in accord with eason Statistics were quoted to show the ethical obligation of American women, in particular, to end waste in the household and exercise frugality. The waste of so much as a single slice of bread daily means the waste of mil- lions of joaves In this great, prodigal, | careless nation. As President women as well as men can help win the war through increasing the food supply for the allied nations, by do- ing their part in these respects. Thus the evil which men have brought upon themselves by war may, in God’s wa: of bringing good out of evil, result lessons of lasting value to a wasteful nation. While women can in this man- ner serve their country, it is the pa of man not to be fussy about his meals, but to cooperate by asreeing to simple modes of jiving: in t each wAll help toward the greatly be desired end. has _implied, to MOTION TO SET ASIDE VERDICT IS DENIED.
