THE 3I0RXTXG OREGO'IA 3IOXPAT; MARCH 9. 1908. 9 GIVES HIS LIFE TO I LEPERS Father Conrardy Will Estab lish Colony for Afflicted in China. PLANS ARE WELL DEFINED there was need of Just such-a work as he expected to undertake. He returned to Oregon, took a four years' course in the medical department of the University of Oregon, and graduated. Then he set about raising funds for the colony and has raised three-fourths of the amount needed. When a change- was made in the Canton See. Father Conrardy was warmly welcomed to his work there. He is to visit his friends in San Fran cisco and Hawaii on his way to his new field of labor. He said yesterday that unless something unforseen should hap pen, be will sail March 17 or 24. Missionary Is Thoroughly Equipped by Eight Years Spent With Leper Colony on the Is land of Molokal. Father I-. I Conrardy. M. D., mission ary to the lepers, is in Portland. He will speak at the Catholic Cathedral, probably rrv;xt Sunday morning, when he will tell of hk work among the lepers of the Hawaiian Islands, during the eight years he was on the island of Molokal. He Is now on a tour to raise Wo.000 to establish a colony at Canton, China, for the lepers of that region. He has succeeded in rais ing "J2S.0OO of this amount, and looks to the charitably Inclined to give him the re maining 117.000. L'pon securing $45,000, Father Conrardy will place It where it will draw 5 per cent Interest, and will thus have an annual income for the rolnny. , Following a carefully laid plan he will purchase a piece of ground at a low price, and proceed to erect three build ings, for the men, women and children. These are not to be after the order of the elaborately furnished hospitals to be found In America. Aut will be merely clean and comfortable huts, where the unfortunate human beings may live with out being subjected to the filth and stench and squalor Incident to a leper's life In China and India. Two other buildings will also he erected, one for the four nurses and physician who will sacrifice their lives with Dr. Conrardy for tho benefit of the worthy cause, and another for himself. These will be simple in construction.- Dr. Conrardy said yesterday that for himself he would be satisfied with a one-roomed structure. The paro chial residence will probably cost $35, and the chapel and nurses' dormitory $75. Sisters Will Xurse Ijepers. Three sisters, who are trained nurses, and native of Belgium, are to assist Dr. Conrardy In his work, in addition to a male nurse from Belgium, and a physi cian from England. The physician is also a priest, who entered the ministry after having lost his wife and children. , Dr. Conrardy expects to be able to pur chase a suitable piece of land for KO00. and from this amount to be able also to erect his buildings. He intends to pay his doctor and nurses $500 a year. The land will raise bananas and rice, but not in sufficient quantities to feed the multitude who will come to him for succor. As the Chinese government will do nothing for them Dr. Conrardy figures that it will cost him at least $1 a month to feed each leper, and that it will cost $.1,a year additional to provide the neces Hlties for thoso upon whose bodies the disease has long been at work. It will thus cost him $1500 a year to provide for 100 lepers. "The Chinese government does absolute ly nothing for Its lepers," said Father Conrardy yesterday. "I Intend to pay a Visit to the viceroy at Canton, and shall endeavor, with the assistance of the American Consul, to Interest the govern ment in the work of providing suitable shelter and food for these poor creatures who are never washed or fed, but treated worse than cats and dogs In America. Formerly many of them were burned or hurled alive every year, and this treat ment was sanctioned by the government. In some caBes even the children of lprous parents would be burned alive, although they often had no taint of leprosy upon them. In India, however, where the pre vailing conditions are much the same as' they are in China, the English govern ment has put a -stop to this Inhuman practice. Not Necessarily Contagious, "leprosy Is not as contagious disease as many suppose, in fact, it Is almost Impossible to contract It unless one Is innoculated. It one has a cut or abrasion of the skin, however, and washes the lepers' sores with the hands in tMs condition, or hand- lea the tools with which they have worked, there is danger that he may con tract the disease. It Is not hereldtary. many children of leprous parents being entirely free from the disease. Many such children live on the Island of Molokal. in the Hawaiian group, and It Is the in tention of the sisters there to place them where they will be away from the danger of contracting it. Although they do not have the disease, the children of leprous parents usually die before they reach old age. "While I was on the Island of Molokal. where I went to take up the work laid down by Father Damlen. who contracted leprosy through handling the carpen ters' tools used by the lepers. I knew of a woman who would not desert her hus band, when she found he had the lep rosy, but came to the colony with him. She lived with him until he died, but did not contract the disease. She married another leper, and was still uncontam inated when I left the island." Father Conrardy was horn In Belgium also the home of Father Damlen, In 1S41. F.arly In life he had a desire to give his life for the lepers, but he studied for the priesthood In the usual way. being at last appointed a missionary to India. He labored there successfully for a number of years. His health fcroke down under the heavy strain or arduous study in an enervating climate, and he came to Ore gon the following year. He was here . for 14 years, during which time he grad uated from the medical department of the I'niversity of Oregon. For several years he worked among the Oregon Indians as a missionary. Offers to Succeed Damlen. Hearing of the noble work which Father Damlen was doing among the 'Hawaiian lepers, and that he would soon die. as he had contracted the disease. Father Conrardy reconsecrated his life to srork for the lepers, and offered his services to Father Damlen. For -several years his proffered aid was rejected, but at last Father Damien wrote for him to sail for Molokal. which he did. He worked among the lepers for eight years, but among the changes Incident to Father Danuen s death he was succeeded In 1K by Father Pamphlli. of the con gregation of Plcpus, who was a brother of Father Damlen. He then went to Kngland to personally thank an Anglican minister who had given $.X for the cause of the colony while Father Damien lived. Father Conrardy was about to give up his work, but was persuaded by the Anglican minister to turn his atten tion to the neglected Chinese lepers. Dr. Conrardy was taken to Cardinal Vaughan, who commissioned him to begin work among them. When Father Conrardy reached Canton the bishop at that place would not ac cept his services, and as he had no funds he could not begin his work. He saw enough, however, to convince him that HEATING OF SCHOOLHOUSES Correspondent Points Out Objections to Hot-Air Furnaces. PORTLAND. March 8. (To the Editor.) The schooihouse catastrophe near Cleve land. O.. can and should be taken Into minute consideration by the school directors of Portland and other cities. Outrageously true, but sttll very evident, is the fact that school directors all over the United States are placinc the lives of hundreds of thousands of the younger and older children of this country In a state of continual jeopardy for the sake of sav ing a few dollars. This is proven by the facts that ancient and antiquated hot air furnaces are being used in school build ings to offset the prevailing frigid weather. Year after year, in the above-mentioned sys tem, cold air is passed over red-hot Iron heaters, which devitalise and destroy the health-giving constituents of the air. This latter Js then conveyed through tin ducts. which turn and twist through wooden par- SUSPENDTHERULES Bill for Life-Saving Service Up Next Sunday.

' BALTIMORE. Md., March 8. Attorney-General Bonaparte was asked today whether he thought the Western Mary land Railroad receivership was due to the so-called commodities clause of the Hepburn law. "As to the cause of that receivership I know no more than your readers gener ally." replied the Attorney-General, "but as the commodities clause' Is not alto gether operative until May 11, I cannot see how Its effects can have prevented the company from meeting its obliga tions on April 1. "The cause of the receivership does not seem to me. at first sight, especially mysterious. Apparently the property could not earn enough to meet the charges with which it was burdened, and therefore the corporation was virtually and indeed, literally. Insolvent."

This is particularly true -when he uses soft, starchy foods, which seldom get the necessary digestion by the saliva, as nature intended, because most people swallow such foods es quickly as possible. This leads to weakened diges tive organs, fermentation, imperfect nutrition, and some times appendicitis. Grape-Nuts must be chewed, and for this, as well as other reasons, this food has saved many from chronic intestinal troubles and all the misery that means. If there's one thing about Grape Nuts of greater interest than its scientific food qualities, it ' is its remarkable practical adaptability to all weakened conditions of the digestive organs and its power to build them up quickly. - , "There's a Reason" 1 REMOVAL SALE Of Our Entire Stock of Exclusive Patterns in Carpets, Rugs, ' Linoleums, Lace Curtains, Draperies and Oriental Rugs J G.
