Mrs. Houdini Dies
in Catholic Faith
Mrs. Mary M. Harty
Dies in Savannah
(Special t« The Bulletin)
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Mrs. Beat
rice Houdini, widow of Harry
Houdini, the famous magician and
escape-artist, died on February
11, at Needles, Calif., on a train
en route to New York. She died
in the Catholic faith in which she
was baptized as an infant.
Houdini, known internationally
for his stage performances in
magic, died 17 years ago and much
publicity was given to a promise
he made his wife that, if possible,
he would communiciate with her
after his death. Of course she
received no such communication
and just a few days before her
death it was announced in the
daily papers that “she told re
porters during a bedside inter
view that she had renounced her
faith in communications after
death, and was skeptical about any
form of life hereafter”. As a mat
ter of fact, she died with a very
strong Catholic faith in a future
life.
When she was seventeen years
old. Beatrice Rahner was mar
ried to Harry Houdini, but not
by a priest. She was sixty-seven
years old when she died. Real
izing the mistake she made, she
asked to see a priest two days
before she boarded the train at
Los Angeles for New York. The
priest who attended her was the
Rev. Enda Delaney, O. F. M. Cap.,
of the Church of St. Francis
Assisi in Los Angeles. Father
Delaney heard her confession and
later she received Holy Com
munion, expressing her happiness
at again being within the fold of
the Catholic Church.
Funeral services were held Feb
ruary 17, at the Paulist Church of
the Good Shepherd, Manhattan.

COUGHING
After Colds or Flu
Makes a Weakened System Weaker
Here is one effective way to help
those children and grown-ups who
are just recovering from a bad cold;
Relieve that stubborn cough! The
shock of a racking, wrenching, tear
ing cough is too dangerous for the
system weakened by illness. It pre
vents the victim from recovering
rapidly—breaks down his resistance.
At this time of danger use Cheney's
Expectorant. Cheney’s quickly allays
the cough due to colds, loosens the
phlegm, soothes the throat, reduces
irritation, restores comfort. The base
of the Cheney formula is honey—■
soothing honey. That gives it a pleas
ant taste that everybody will like.
Before that cough further saps the
strength of its victim get Cheney’*
Expectorant on a money-back guar
antee-today.
