d yAHA TF5YN THE
'T'Y.ft|I,,H1 VULGATE
LHHNIi-El $1I Err1lHa.lIA a

The Vnlgate, the Latin version of the
Bible, ordained by the Council of
Trent in April. 1916, to be the authentic
version for the Roman Catholic Church,
is now. fifteen centuries after the death
of Jerome, whose life work it was, to
be revised. The colossal work of re-
vising its text has been given to the or
der of the Benedictines, who find that
they need funds to carry on the task.
The pope has, accordingly. given the
Right Rev. Francis A. GaSquet. abbot
president of the English Benedictines,
permission to accept donation for the
purpose. The donor will be rewarded
by having his name placed on the front
page of the new version. an honor that
will carry his name down into the COM
ing centuries as no other monument
would. The Vulgate is itself 1,50O
years old, JeromeS translation having
been completed early ia the fifth cen
tury, and some of the sacred writings
of the Old Testament go back fourteen
centuries 3. c.. so it is safe to assume
that the new version will be a monu-
ment more enduring than one of brass.

Englishman, in which the Kaiser told of
his friendship for England and took much
of the credit for the victory of the British

documents at Windsor would prove his
friendship at the critical period of the
Boer war. One was letter TO the Queen
telling how he had refused to join France
and Russia in demanding the ending of
the war, and the other was a plan of cam

Annual Report Favors Extension of
the City Delivery Service.
At the end of the last fiscal year
June 80, 190S-there were in operation
a total of 81 .15S postoffices in the Unit
ed States. according to the annual re-
port of the First Assistant Postmaster
General The number of pOstmasters
appointed at presidential offices was
2,174. while $40 were given commits
sion in the fourth-class offices.
OF special interest to the general pub
lie are the recommendations relating to
the extension and improvement of the
city delivery service. Millions of peO-
pie residing in small towns, it is stated,
are without any form of free delivery.
This condition, the report says, can be
remedied by amending the law so as to
permit of the establishment of city de-
livery service at poStofficeS where the
receipts are as much as $1,000 annually.

WOOD STILL LEADS IN BUILDING.
What the Government Reports on
Construction Show.

What the Government Reports on
Construction Show.
Reports collected by the government
from forty-nine of the leading cities of
the country show that in the last year
81 per cent of the buildings erected
were of wood and 80 per cent of fire
resisting material. The figures do not
take into account the building done in
the smaller cities and rural commune
ties of the country. hence the geological
survey has concluded that wood is yet
and is likely to remain for many years
to come the chief material used in con-
struction i'll the United States. If the
figures on the smaller cities were in
cluded it would be safe to say that the
DredOminance of wood would be heav
lily increased in proportion to other ma
terials. as indicated by the reports
noted
The use of cement, terra Gotta. brick
and stone with a framework of steel
will make it possible soon to do away
with the use of wood entirely is a re-
mark often heard. While these fire
proof materials are now being used to
an extent almost undreamed of a few
years ago. il is nevertheless true that
more wood is being manufactured for
building purposes each year than ever
before

Start the New Year RIGHT!

~ TART the new year with clean
~ mind and a clean bodyl
NJ Most people are very neat
W. and clean in their outward
appearance, but how about the inside?
Are you clean inside?
And if not, how can you face the New
Year with clean thoughts, clear intelli-
gence, a fair, just, and bright mind, and
your full share of capacity for work and
enjoyment.
The holidays are over and everybodys
had good tirne-perhaps little too much
of a good time. Over-eating and over
drinking have been the rule ever since
Thanksgiving Day.
Many people get little exercise in winter
and breathe much stuffy, over-heated in
side air.
At the same time they eat too much rich
and indigestible food while fresh fruit and
fresh vegetables are scarce in the market.
So stomach and bowels are liable to be
over-taxed.
Clog up, stretch and paralyze the large
intestine by over-stuffing it with undi-
gested food, so it can not carry off the
useless refuse, and it backs up" the
sewage, and compels the small intestine
to absorb the poison of decaying matter,
instead of wholesome nourishment.
That's what must happen. Isn't it plain
as day7
What's the RESULT
Nearly everybody gains in flesh" in
the winter time. but its pussy fat-not
healthy flesh and muscle. The liver gets
inactive; the bile doesn't work off,;
the eyes get yellow; the skin gets dead
like putty and pale like dough, with boils,
pimples. blackheads, liver-spots to break
the monotony.
Dizziness, headaches, blurred vision,
foul breath, sleeplessness and a temper
like wild cat make such persons very

Keep clean inside all the time. That's
the simple solution.
If you can not diet. or keep your mech
anism going by proper exercise, the self
evident alternative is to take Cascarets,
the sweet, fragrant, harmless little vege-
table tablets, that "act like exercise on
your bowels, and gently but powerfully
clean out and disinfect the whole diges-
tive canal.
A Cascaret every night before going 10
bed will work while you sleep" and
make you feel fine in the morning"
If you have been neglecting yourself
for some time, take Cascaret night and
morning and break up the constipate4
habit" without acquiring "cathartio
habit"
Cascarets are sold by all druggists, loc,
Csc and Soc. The lOc size trial box is a
neat fit for the vest pocket or lady's purse.
Be sure to get the genuine. with the
"long-taiied C" on the box and the letters
"CCC" on each tablet. They are never
sold in bulk.
