Finally l got down so sick with
catarrh of the stomach that / could

OBSERVANCE OF LENT:
FORTY DAYS OF FASTING

Lent, observed TO commemorate
the forty days fast of our Lord in
the Wilderness, begins this year on
February 12-Ash Wednesday, 1t
ends with Easter Sunday-the day of
spring costumes. The period of fast
ing is forty days, with all the
churches which observe Lent. except
the Greek churches, which have
heightened it to forty-eight days.
Sundays are not counted i'm the fast.
Pope Gregory the Great, in $50. di-
rected that the season should begin
on the sixth Sunday before Easter,
and that on all the intervening week
days fasting should De practiced.
Afterwards, either by him or by
George H.. four days of the proceed
ing week were added. to make the
whole fast forty days.
The six Sundays included in the
Lenten period are observed as fes-
rivals. never as fasts. and are there
fore called Sundays in Lent. and not
Sundays of Lent. The last, or pas
sion week. is considered the most
solemn portion of the season, and is
generally known as great week"
The ancient observance of Lent
was of the most rigorous character.
Non-observance frequently resulted
in severe punishment. and often eN-
communication. All flesh and even
the so-called white meats" were eX-
cluded. Modern customs. however,
have caused relaxation of the old
and severe methods of observing the
period. But the principle of permit
L. II
lation. is still everywhere retained.
Celebrations of marriages and par
ticipation in the common amuse-
ments of the social warld are
forbidden during the Lenten period.
Good church people are expected to
attned services at least once n day.

anything i'm this line but the old
fashioned dairy wagon that we have
had, but they have been selling but
ter, and they have been getting ac-
quainted with the people. That the
people have been longing to be bet
ter acquainted with them is well
enough shown by the fact that the
Davenporters who have telephoned,
written, or otherwise notified the
factory office, that the service of
milk was desired number over 400.

The management of the Davenport
Republican yesterday met, by APP
pointment, committee of the Tri-
City Typographical union and effect
ed arrangements whereby the Re-
publican composing room will here
after be in charge of members of
that organization. For some time a
majority of the printers employed in
the office have been members of the
Tri-City union, and the Republican
has been operated as an open
office" Not until yesterday, how
ever, was there any specific under
standing between the paper and the
union regarding the manner in which
its composing room should be con-
Quoted, the wages paid, etc. The
change principally affects the ma
chine scale, and the Republican now
feels able to pay the increase asked
for and is perfectly willing to do it.
