Below are the rules which the Roman Catholics heard read Sunday and which Will govern their lives during the Lenten period: All days of Loot from Ash Wednes­ day (February 9) to Blaster Sunday (March 27), Sundays excepted, are fast days- t By dispensation, flesh meat m^ be used at the principal meal Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, except the Saturdays in Ember and Holy week. The use of fish and flesh meat is forbidden at the same meal even on Sundays during Lent. All the faithful who have attained their twenty-first year are obliged to fast and abstain on the days appointed, unless otherwise dispensed by their pas­ tor. The sick, the very poor, pregnant women, those nursing infants, and in general all who because of old age (60 years), weakly constitutions or hard labor cannot fast without detriment to thieir health, are exempted from fasting. Those exempted are not restricted in the use of meat on days ^when it is al­ lowed by dispensation lit th# principal meal. Those obliged to fast are restricted to one full meal in the day, which should not ordinarily be taken before noon, and to a collation in the evening not ex­ ceeding the fourth part of an ordinary meal. Custom permits the taking of tea, coffee or chocolate with a small piece of bread, not exceeding two ounces, in the morning. Lard, the fa tendered from any kind of meat, m*5^be used in preparing food on all days during Lent and on all days of the fast and abstinence thrnont the year. The Holy See has granted to working men and their families a special indult, permitting them to eat meat once a day on all days of fast and abstinence thrn­ ont the year, except on Fridays, Ash Wednesday and Saturday during Holy week and the Virgil of Christmas. Working men and their families avail­ ing themselves of this indult are not allowed the use of fish and flesh meat at the same meal. It is the earnest de­ sire of the Holy See, and ours as well, that they perform some other act of self-denial, such as abstaining from in­ toxicating liquors. Appropriate Lenten instructions and devotions will be held in all the parish churches of the diocese at least three timeB a week. These Lenten devotions are on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. On Sunday these may con­ sist of vespers, a brief sermon and bene­ diction; Wednesdays, the recitation of five decades of the rosary, a catecheti­ cal instruction and benediction; Friday, the way of the cross and benediction of the most blessed sacrament.

Almost everyone knowsof Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, be­ cause of its remark­ able health restoring properties. Swamp- Root fulfills almost every wish in over­ coming rheumatism, pain in the back, kid­ neys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. Swamp-Root is not recommended for everything but if you have kidney, liver or bladder trouble, it will be found just the remedy you need. It has been thor­ oughly tested in private practice, and has proved so successful that a special ar­ rangement has been made by which all readers of this paper, who have not al­ ready tried it, may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telliug more about* Swamp-Root, and how to find out if you ha ve kid­ ney or bladder trouble.
