Dispensation from Abstinence.

Chancellor Gavan, at the Baltimore
Cathedral, gave out the following state
ment from Cardinal Gibbons last night.
''The Cardinal has received nolitcs-
ton from Rome, through the apostolic
delegation, lbst the Holy Father has
granted dispensation from abstinence
for Friday, June %, the Feast OF Saints
Peter and Paul"
This dispensatiou is grsnts1 because
this year the feast day of Saints Peter
and Paul falls on Friday. These two
greatest apostles planted .he church OF
Rome, and this is feast day OF the first
class. The day is celebrated in Rome
With ereat msgni6cence, and the SER
vices in st. Peters are most elaborate.
1t is very unusual for dspensation
to eat meat on FRIDAY to be granted, IS
all Fridays in the year are strictly OBJ
served SO days of abstinence, unless
Christmas Day falls on a Friday, then
the day previous is one of abstinence.

Little Lessons in Politics
BY independent Voter

One reason why SO many people
vote a straight ticket Is, to speak
frankly, because they are afraid to
scratch, for fear OF losing their vote.
The fact Is, whole lot of people
find difflculty with our peculiar
Colorado ballot. have been
laughed ar by some people because of
these Little Lessons" and l know
at least one man who poked fun at
the Tribune for assuming to ''Show
us old. timers how to vote," who lost
his vote on the legislative ticket two
years ago, because he didn't under.
stand how to mark his ballot and
was too proud to ask. There are a
lot like him. Because they are
men, they are ashamed to ask In
struction OF the judges on the uncer-
tain points, aud they either vote 1t
straight, or go it blind.
This article is for the benefit of
those who are not sure, and who are
willing to learn. The fellow who
never scratches, or knows it all, or
who is too proud to look 1t up, can
skip this.
The instructions on the ballot
read as follows: ITO vote straight
party ticket, write within the blank
space Immediately hereunder, the
name OF the party you wish to vote
for'' Then follow the words, Il
hereby vote a straight -----------
ticket, except where l have marked
opposite the name of some other can
didate.'
That sounds easy, and it is easy,
so long as there is but one candi-
date to vote for. But wnen we look
over the ballot we find there are
TWO regents OF the university, TWO
justices OF the supreme court, TWO
judges of the district court. TWO
representatives Of the legislature,
and in many cases TWO justices of
the peace and TWO constables, and
in the square allotted to these can
didates you will note the words,
"(Vote for TWO)". Now, if you
vote a scratched ticket, that is,
either a democratic or republican
ticket except where you place cross
opposite some other candidates s
name, you must, in the case OF these
particular offices, not only put a
cross opposite the particular candi-
date Of the opposite party that you
want to vote for, but you must
scratch out, or draw a line through
the name OF your own party candt-
date that you DON'T want to vote
for. The law is very plain in saying
that ii you don't draw this line
through the name of the candidate
OF your own party that you do not
wish to vote for, the cross you make
won't count, and your vote on that
particular Office will be lost. Here

BOARD OF HEALTH
Excellent Advice and Instruction
From That Body

Recently there appeared in our
city papers an article written by DIR.
II. S. Taylor, secretary of the state
board of health, in which he called
the attention of the public to. the
necessity of adopting certain sanitary
measures to prevent the spread of
many diseases prevalent in the
autumn months. particularly typhoid
fever. Many useful means OF pre-
caution were mentioned, among
which was the boiling OF milk, an
important matter.
There are few other suggestions,
however, of equal Importance which
the board OF health wishes to make
to the public. These are the neces-
sity of boiling the water as we'll as
the milk. Typhoid germs grow
rapidly in milk but they will also
live in water There are many

other efficient disintectant and has
the Advantage OF being cheap. Cor
rosive. .suhlmate should not be used
where there is plumbing. Whatever
Is used should be used thoroughly
and until at least two weeks after
the temperature of the patient is
normal. Neglect of these matters
give flies an easy chance to carry
germs rom an infected home to a
neighbors clean table and thus
cause tie spread of the disease.
