Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed in the spring, when the
languid exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
is felt. A prompt use of this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps
fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will
act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, con-
stipation, dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters. Only fifty cents per bottle at

A RUMOR FROM ROALE
To the Effect That Poor People Are
Absolved From Abstinence.

New York, July REV. Father Ducey
is authority for the statement that the
none has promulgated decree absolViIng
poor people and working people from tile
observance of all days of abstinence Ill
fine wear except Fridays, even during Lent
A rumor that such decree was IN exist
ence has been in circulation for some tlme
and Father Ducey says the document mas
been forwarded to the bishops OF the
limited States and has been promulgated
in the West. Speaking of the decree,
Father Ducey says
"Many of the ecclesiastics in this coun-
try have felt for years that the burden
of denial placed on the shoulders and con-
science of the struggling and WORKING
neonIe was more than a hardship, almost
a martyrdom.
"T have not seen the official document
sent to the bishops of the United States.
but this information came to me ABOUT
six weeks ago from a most trustworthy
Rome correspondent. 1t has seemed to
me for wears that this legislation in favor
of Gods Woodworking people was most
necessary. What a hardship to ask OF
men and women, whose fare is always
doubtful and uncertain, to practice a de,
NAL that robs them of their strength and
units them for the proper discharge OF
their duty and labor. when the well-to-dc
and rich and luxurious. feasting stump
tuously every day, find fault, as l have
known them to do with the hardship OF
the holy season of Lent"
Father Lowell of the archbishop's. resi-
dence says that the rumor is absurd.

A FRIENDLY TIP.

The San Antonio Express correspondent
writes his paper as follows:
The fact was never better demonstrated
than in Austin familiarity breeds con-
tempt, or at least that a daily view
of great things blunts the idea of their
greatness. Visitors come here from
other points and go into ecstacies over
the capitol, the. dam and the lake, yet
the average Austinite who sees these
objects every day passes them by with
listless air. A week ago the rail
roads brought over a, thousand excur..
sionists here, ninety-nine per cent of
whom had never seen the dam. 1t was
a big thing to them and they couldn't
understand the apparent neglect to take
advantage of its power as AN attrac-
ton. Visitors come here from other
States, and they are astonished that no
greater efforts have been made to beau
tify the grounds about the dam so as to
draw tourists. Said one of the latter
class to the Express correspondent re-
Gently: "That dam is the biggest thing

sipi, and if it was located in a western
