SOME RULES FOR LENT

In this year of grace 1906, the twen-
ty-eighth day of February today is
Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.
All the faithful, unless legitimately
excused or dispensed. are bound in
conscience, under penalty of grievous
sin, to observe the Lenten regulations.
The Lenten Fast.
All the days of Lent, the Sundays
excepted, are days of fast.
The precepto of fast restricts the use
of food to one full meal toward the
middle of the day, and collation. in
the evening not exceeding the fourth
part of a full meal-custonl, however,
authorizing the taking in the morning
of a cup of coffee, tea of chocolate,
with a small piece of bread,
For the collation. theologians' allow
solid food to the amount OF eight
ounces. The solid food taken in the
morning should not exceed two
ounces. -
When the full meal or, principal re-
past cannot be taken without serious
inconvenience towards the middle OF
the day, the order of repasts may be
reversed, the full meal or principal
repast being taken in the evening, and
the collation. at an earlier hour of the
day.
The Lenten Abstinence.
7. The use of flesh meat is allowed at
all meals on Sundays, and at the
principal meal on Mondays, Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays, except the
Saturday of Ember Week March lO)
and the Saturday of Holy Week (April
14). :,
The use of flesh meat, therefore, is
forbidden at all meals on Wednesdays,
Fridays, the Saturday of Ember Week
and the Saturday OF Holy Week; and
on other days, outside of Sundays, it
is forbidden at other repasts, outside
the full meal.
The use Of lard is permitted at all
times In the preparation Of food.
Both fish and flesh meat cannot be
taken at the same meal, even on Sum
days. 2. q 4.
Persons legitimately excused or dis
rensed from the precept of fasting
may use flesh meat at all meals on
whatever day there is a general per-
mission to use It at the principal
meal.
Exemptions from the Precepts Of Fast
and Abstinence.
From the precept Of fast are ex-
cused: Those under the age Of twen-;
ty-one years or over the age OF sixty.

by the Mdult to working people"

General Remarks.
When doubt exists as to whether
ones condition or circumstances allow
exemption from the precept Of fast
and abstinence, counsel should be
asked from confessors or pastors, who
ere the authoritative interpreters OF
the law, and who are even empowered
in special cases, for good and. suffi-
cient reasons, indicated in Catholic
theology, to commute the precepts of
last and abstinence to other peniten-
tlal works.
In enjoining upon the faithful fast
and abstinence, Holy Church makes
G. practical application of the evangel-
ical law of self-denial, of which the
Savior and his apostles were, by ex-
ample and by word, such eminent
teachers. Without self-denial there is
no Christianity. Indeed, without self
denial there is no natural morality.
The man who has not acquired by
habit the power of self-restraint will
not be victorious over sin, amid the
storms and temptations of life which
all men must encounter.
The observance of fast and abstin-
ence prescribed by the church is
taken by the world as a public and
fearless profession of the Catholic
faith. He who, without sufficient or
obvious reasons, eats meat or takes
his usual meals when abstinence or
fast is enjoined, is not accented as n
practical Catholic.
Let Catholics have the courage
of self-denial for the sake of Christ
and of their own souls, and be on
their guard lest by their acts scandal
be given and the fair name of their
religion be dishonored.
During Lent, pastors will hold at
appointed times in their several
churches appropriate exercises of de-
votion, and will give to the faithful
instructions of a practical nature up-
on the articles of the creed, the COM
11andments and the sacraments.
Special instruction in the Catechism
should be given the children.
The devotion of the way of the
cross will be observed when possible
in all churches and chapels on the
Friday evenings throughout Lent.

Bishop of Duluth.

RATES EFFECTIVE
over NORTHWEST
FROM TODAY
Rush Of Land Seekers Are Elk
pected Through Grand
Forks Tomorrow.

n Inc great movement Of hOmeSeek-
ers to, the rich agricultural lands of
Minnesota, the Dakotas and western
Canada, which the railroads inaugur-
ated some six or seven years ago by
naming low rates over the vast area
of country, received tremendous i'm
petus when the seasons rates went
into effect today.
"A rate of one fare for the round
trip, plus 81, will apply over all the
territory within 1000 miles of Min
reapolis, including the states of Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and
Nebraska which have furnished many
thousands of land buyers during the
Fast few years.
Far outside the territory indicated
cheap rates will prevail after today,
SO that the homeseeker from Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Georgia or Arkansaw
can journey to the northwest and look
the country over for small outlay
of money.
The first. wave of the immigration
tide will strike Grand Forks tomor-
row morning. The landseekers will
leave the Twin Cities and other inter-
vening points today, and while big
crowd is not anticipated, it is expected
that there will be noticeable in
crease in the number of immigrants
and the passenger traffic generally.
Open to Everyone.
And a most gratifying feature in
connection with these homeseekers'
rates is the fact that they are open
to everybody. Every man, no matter
what may be his purpose in visiting
the northwest, can secure a homeseek-
ers' ticket without resort to subter-
fuge or "scalping" tactics. The law
says that the railroads cannot dis
criminate, and the knowledge of this
legal dicturh which the railroads pos
sess enables every man to avail him
self of the reduced rates.
The first movement will begin to-
day. and the rates will be effective
hereafter on the first and third Tues
day in each month until the season
closes. All indications point to re-
markable showing on the part of the
roads in the matter of handling home
seekers business, Every passenger
official is confident that the movement
will far exceed that of last year, and
will be the heaviest in the history of
the northwest.
At times last season, as many as
1000 homeseekers poured through the
Twin Cities in a single day on their
way to the rich lands of Minnesota and
the Dakotas. They came from all the
adjoining states, from New York,
Maine, Kentucky, South Carolina. The
majority of them however, were west
ern farmers, sons of well-to-do farm
ers in the older agricultural states
like Illinois, Iowa. Missouri and Wis
consin, who had money and knew ex-
actly what to do with it. They were
practical farmers who began going
into the western country with a
mighty rush some, eight or nine years
ago, and who have accomplished more
in bringing their farms up to high
degree Of efficiency than their fathers
had been able to do in a lifetime.
More Than Ever.
There will be more homeseekers
than ever this season." said we'll
known passenger official. "And while
there. is no longer an abundance Of
land to be had for $ the asking, the
Immense fortunes which have been
made in farm lands has shown how

Journey of more than 1000 miles
through the middle west, undertaken
with the object of ascortaining the
actual crop situation. He visited the
states of Illinois. Indiana. Missouri
and Iowa and has prepared special re-
ports on the conditions In Kansas and
Nebraska. In all of these according
to his observations, the crops this year
will be remarkable as to both quantity
and quality. In speaking of his trip
Mr.. Brown said:
II believe that the United States
this year will harvest a larger quantity
of grain Of all sorts than ever before
and will market it Mt better price.

produced S7,0O0.OOO bushels. The corn

A FISH HOOK.
The One You Should Buy md the
Test You Should Try.

The One You Should Buy and the
Test You Should Try.
The most common flaw is the temper
of the hook Some hooks are brittle
and break easily. There are other
hooks still that bend, and bend so east
ly that they ''straiehten' on every big
fish, and yet other hooks that bend but
bend SO hard that big fish never
flexes them, and they only straishten
and come away when the full tension
of the line is laid upon them IL caught
on tough snag or tree bough. These
last are the hooks to buy-if you can
find thcm-and the hard breaking
hooks clussities next in merit. Tests by
the eye are quite useless, as SO many
hooks carry exactly the same tints In
blue or black. Test the hook instead
by the hand, catching the point in n
firm bit OF wood and trying 1t out both
by the hard, firm pull and by the jerk.
Watch particularly in this trial for
weakness ut the foot Of the barb, where
the wire is apt to be attenuated over
much and the whole point give way
on n strong fish, especially If hooked in
bone or very hard ggistle. What Vastly
depths Of angling profanity, In spirit
II not In word, have been stirred in
boat and on bank when the pointless
hook comes away from the hard played
fish must be left to memory-Outing

A Sixteenth Century Wager That
Might BE Won Today.
The story is told In Joubert's "Popu
lar Errors Concerning Medicine" pub
lished at Bordeaux. France, in 1919,
that one Gonelle, jester at the court
of the Duke of Fcrrara, insisted once
upon time that the trade which had
the most followers was that of doctor.
To prove his assertion he left his home
one morning to gN to the palace with
his nightcap on and his jaws wrapped
up. The first person he met stopped
him with the question, what is the
matter with you. Gonelle?" "A terrible
toothache." "Oh, is that all? I'll tell
you what will cure It," And every per-
son he met h,S some advice to give
him.
When the Jester reached the dukes
chamber, the same question and an
swer were repeated. "Ah," said the
prince, 81 know Of something that will
take the pain right away" Gonclle
Instantly threw up his kerchlef, saying:
And you, too, monseigneur, are doc
tor? have only passed through one
street in coming from my house to you
and have counted more than 200 of
them. l believe could find 10000 in
the city," Whether the story is true or
false, 1t could be told again in our
days, and Gonelle would win his wager
without dispute.

Is almost impossible near the carths
