Through it man receives the full effect of God's grace, which, like the air we breathe, must not only be inhaled but exaaled also in order. to -benefit us. So the soul inhales grace, yet must exhale it in ex- pressions of thanksgiving to God for His favors—and this is gratitude, The preacher touched on prayer, which with too many is merely petitions for. favors, instead of .praise for benefits received. When and how to utter pray- ers of thanksgiving K was suggested, in- cidental to which .Father Galvin spoke of the negligence of too many 'in -fail- ing to thank God after meals. No finer sight can be imagined than is that of the man who, after eating, say in a pub- lic place 'like a hotel, fearlessly makes the sign of the cross, signifying to any who may behold him that he possesses true faith, is a Catholic and a good one. ; % Reasons were adduced . for . praying gratefully. for this gift of faith, the gift for - which so many thousands pray In vain. Above ‘all, there should be fer- | vent and grateful prayer after the re- ception of Holy Communion, that gift supreme, 'the greawst which God can | give, the Bread of Life which is the body and blood. the soul and the divin- ity of His only begotten Son. cob ' Sadinsky, ' perjury; Louis Rubin,] perjury. < Continued Cases.

SURPRISE €ONTESTS IMPROVE QUALITY OF MILK DELIVERED Surprise ‘milk- contests—contests which the milk sold. by various dealers| in a city #s compared by taking samples occasionally without © warning — have been very effective .in' improving the milk surply of many cities. Contests of this kind carried out with the ass'st- ance of the United States Department of Agriculture ,have shown remarkable results fin a number of western cities. The bacterial counts and the total milk &cores for the cities were made up from the results of tests of samples from each of the delivery systems. In Long Beach, Calif, the average bacterial count in the first contest was 118,238 ; in the last contest it was down to 11.823. In the first the average score of the milk sold there was 71.56. and in the last it was up to 90.67. The mik | bringing down the sold in Riverside, Calif., improved (m bactersal coumt from 101,500 to 8522, and rose in score from 82.93 to 93.63. Los Angeles dealers, as a result of these surprise comtests, made great improve- ment jn the cuality the milk supply. nt from 84,169 to 12,690 and raising the socore from 80.60 to 91.65. The figures for Port- land, Ore. changed from 148,490 to 13- 970, and from 76.19 to 92.52. The num- ber of bacteria in a cubic centimeter of! Seattle milk was brought from 64,124 down to 31.287, and the score was | ed from 80.50 to 88.24. A milk dealer does not like to be sur- prised with dirty milk on his wagons. especially when the results of the tests are to be published in the local mapers. When his score goes up he.finds the number of his customers ‘going up: when the bacterial eount imcreases’ he finds an increase in the number of ex- customers. POATATO CROP SUFFERS FROM THE BLIGHAT Late potato crops in some places they have been blight, and the crop this year wili be poor on lands having an excess of mois- ture. Potatoes on high land or lands which drained quickly after the excessive rains throughout the year will return a fair or average crop. Most of the potato vines in certaia lo- calities have succumbed to late blignt. ac- cording to one county agent. “Only where potatoes have been sprayed seven or more times, or late planted or planted under special conditions so that the air | drainage was juct right to prevent the spread of blight have potatoes stayed green this year. “There will be a fair crop this year on high or average land. Crops will be very poor where the water has stood for any length of time after rainstorms, so that the roots of potatoes were drowned out. Reports from Aroostook County. Maine, indicate that the potato crop in that sec- tion will be disappjointing this year. Weather conditions have been adverse, and diseases have made big inroads on the crop. Early potatoes are plentiful and prices are low, but many growers look fér’'a decided advance in prices after the fall crop corhes In. CONTROLS MELON APHIS Roy E. Campbell of the United States department of agriculture, claims that for' melon aphis, nicotine sulphate of a strength between five and seven and one- half per cent, gave practical results in control. He further claims that with a small hand duster, one man can cover not less than two acres of full grown melons in a day, using about fifty pounds of dust per acre—costing 12 cents a pound for five per cent. strength and fifteen cents a pound for seven and one-half per cent strength.
