CAUSES DEBILITY.
Here are Facts Backed Up by a Strong
Guarantee.

Gatarrh causes debility. In our
opinion, most people suffering from
general debility have catarrh.
Such cases Of debility cannot be
completely cured BY medicine not
designed to eradicate catarrh. In
every case where our remedy fails
to give entire satisfaction we will
not charge a cent for the medicine
employed during the trial. Now.
surely no one should hesitate to be-
lieve us or to put our claim to a
practical test under such condi-
tions. We will take all the risk;
no one else can lose anything BY the
transaction.
We make these statements and
this offer because we know and
have time and again proved that

w. H. FRIZELL, NJ. D.,
County Health Officer.
Sanitation of county is very
good. but the city of Brookhaven is
in sad need of sewerage system.
which if instituted. would cut the
sickness to practically little. Our
County Farm, Jail and Poor
House need to be built anew and
in more sanitary way. The sup
erintendent cannot keep same clean
under present conditions. The
tubercular and the syphillitic pris-
oners should have apartments sep
arate from healthy prisoners, and
should be kept separated. / recon-
mend that the Jail and poor house
there be reconstructed and accord
ing to an architects plans, then
they could be kept sanitary, which
is our duty. | do not recommend
pardon or release for any prisoner
solely for his having tuberculosis
or syphilis, as they are preventable
diseases and violators of the law
should be put there for punishment,
not for profit.

Retreat.

The retreat for the men and boys OF
the cathedral parish that is now on at
Logan avenue chapel is being splendid
ly attended The opening sermon was
preached Wednesday evening, January
u, by Rev. Leo Krenz, S. j., who will
conduct all the exercises of the retreat
Masses are read each day at $50, 1880
and S:15> o'clock, and in the evenings
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament
follows the instruction. The retreat
will close on Sunday, January is, with
the feast of the Holy Name, when both
senior and junior divisions of the Holy
Name society will receive holy COM
munion at o'clock mass. At o'clock
Sunday afternoon the closing sermon
will be preached, and candidates will be
received into the Holy Name society.
At the conclusion of this service the
men will have banquet at the Albany
hotel, and the boys will enjoy a buffet
luncheon in the school house. The BAN
quet will be altogether informal and the
speeches impromptu. The committee
having charge of the arrangements for
the retreat and banquet is composed of
Rev. II. L. McMenamin, spiritual direc-

Parish Topics.

The New Years edition of "Parlsn
Topics" was distributed last Sunday at
all the masses in Logan avenue chapel.
This little journal, besides containing q
very full and explicit statement of re-
ceipts and expenditures for the parish
for the year 1909, has other interesting
data. From its pages we learn that
four hundred and twenty-five children
are receiving a thoroughly up-to-date
education in Immaculate Conception
high school and primary grades; that
twenty-four adults were baptized ana
made profession of the Catholic falth;
that the infant baptisms numbered SIX
ty-four: that seven of the most attrac-
tive young women of the parish dedl-
Gated their lives to the service OF COD
in the religious life, and four young
men commenced their studies for the
priesthood All this and more equally
interesting information is chronlcled 1or
1909, but the most encouraging news is
that possibly the Catholics of Denver
may assist at mass next Christmas in
the beautiful new cathedral. Already
this edifice is a source of great pride and
qualification to the Catholics of the
city, and when completed will doubtless
be. for its size, one of the prettiest
houses of worship in the country. Last
year was an arduous one for the bishop,
the rector and the members of the
building committee, who had many OBJ
stacles to surmount, but it is hoped the
CONGREGATION will feel encouraged by all
that was accomplished last year and
lend more generous aid during 1910.

Good Shepherd Association.

The Good Shepherd Aid association
met Tuesday afternoon, January II. al
the residence of AIRS. NJ. c. Harrington
924 Seventeenth avenue. It was reported
that from present incomplete returns
the ball held early in December was a
very successful one. Miss Julia Nc
Laughlin and Mrs. Patrick Dorney took
out life membership cards in the asso-
citation. The annual election of officers
will occur at the next regular meeting,
which will be held at the House of the
Good Shepherd Tuesday afternoon, Feb
ruary s. Once each year the sisters en-
tertain the Good Shepherd Aid society,

one

Sacred Heart Society.

The first regular meeting for the
year of the Sacred Heart Aid society
was held Thursday afternoon, January
6, at the home of Mrs. Joseph y. Osner,
357 Broadway. The occasion was the
installation of officers, and called forth
an unusually large attendance. Those
who were inducted into office for the
year 1910 were: President, Mrs. NJ. }.
Mccarthy; first vice president, Mrs. Jo-
seph A. Osner; second vice president,
Mrs. Joseph Walsh; secretary, Mrs. Jo-
seph c. Hagus; treasurer, Miss Julia
Mclaughlin; chaplains, Hrs. John E.
O'Brien, Mrs. Philip Brady and Mrs.
Daniel Callahan; auditors, Mrs. Joseph
Seubert and Mrs. II. A. Reyer. Mrs.
Mccarthy, Mrs. Hagus and Miss Nc
Laughlin held their same positions last
term, and in appreciation of their serv-
ices the society presented them with
beautiful rosaries. The presentation
speech was made by Mrs. Eliza Dubois.
The beginning of the year 1910 finds the
Sacred Heart Aid society at the most
flourishing period of its history, with
a membership of two hundred and twen-
ty, all active and enthusiastic work
ers in the cause of charity. The So
ciety's pet project-the establishment of
a home for the aged poor-seems nearer
for that express purpose now reaching
SLIPS. A generous Catholic man has
given his promise to erect the building
at his own expense when the society
has the means to comfortably furnish
same and provide for its proper main
tenance, and when everything is in
readiness to receive the occupants, Rt.
Rev. Bishop Matz viii extend an invi-
tation to the Little Sisters of the Poor
TO come and carry on their well-beloved
work in Denver, where there has long
existed crying need for some place of
the kind. Though the Sacred Heart Aid
society has long had in view the estab-
lishment of the home for the aged, it
has not been hindered or deferred in
its accustomed philanthropic work, the
care Of the INDECENT, accomplishing in
Denver what is done in larger cities by
the st. Vincent de Paul society, that is.
visiting poor families in their homes
and finding out their most urgent needs,
which are relieved in so far as the treas
ury of the society will permit. Dur
ing the year just closed S959.90 was dis
pensed in charity, and a sum of S27S.S4
still remains in the treasury to help
along the noble work. The members of
this society is made UP from all the
parishes of the city, and while some of
its most jealous workers are not of the
Catholic faith, Mrs. NJ ]. Mccarthy,
Mrs. James w. Casey and Mrs. Joseph
Walsh contributed to the auspicious
opening of the new year by taking out
life memberships in the Sacred Heart
Aid society. The organization some time
ago conferred honorary life member
ship on Mrs. Walsh. so the payment of
$50 at this time was a voluntary offer
