The Fast OF Atonement will begin next Friday
evening, before sunset, and continue all Satur-
day. until night. 1t is a fast strictly observed

Twelfth, and at the corner of ID and Ninth
streets, will be open the entire day for rei yious
service. Among the sick and wounded i'm the
military hospitals, are number of ISrapiitas

to attend. No doubt such rs arc able to go can
