LENT BEGINS EARLY
Easter Falls on March 23rd
this Year


Missouri residents who cease
their social activities with the ar
rival of Lent need only to con-
suit the church calender to be
reminded that this winter the
Social season" will be one of the
shortest on record. due to the
fact that Lent will begin on Feb.
18th, the earliest since 1878,
and it will not come again as early
as this year for another eighty
seven years that is in the year
1000.
Thereason for this early arrival
of that season of the year when
the members of the social
whirl" are forced to lay aside
their activities is that the ideal
or ecclesiastical moon. adopted
by the churches hundreds of
years ago, determine the date
for Easter, which this year will
fall upon %, one day later than
the earliest possible date upon
which Easter may fall, March
%.
The custom established by the
churches DEGREES that Easter
shall fall ION the first Sunday
after the first full Moon after
March 81"
So the individuals who bemoan
the fact that their social duties
will be cut short this winter by
the arrival of Lent can blame it
on the moon.
Various businesses will be hit
by the early arrival of Lent, too.
Florists and stationers probably
will find their profits cut by the
abbreviated social season.
Sixty-seven years ago, and
fifty-six years ago respectively,
Easter occurred on the same
date it does in 1913. The next
year when Easter will pay an
earlier visit'will be in 1910 when
it will arrive on March 24th. In
1851 it falls on March 25th. In
the year 1915 Easter was on
March 18th; also in the year
1926, 1887 and 1894. 1t will
come again on March 26th in
1867, 1878 and 1889.
The latest Easter of the nine
teenth and twentieth centuries
was in 1859, when it fell on
April "a. 1S48 and 1905, it oc-
CURED on April 23rd. Last
Easter was on April 7th.
AS Easter is the most import
ant of all the movable feasts of
the Christian church, it deter
mines all the rest. Hence, next
year Ash Wednesday comes
Feb. 5th, Ascension Thursday
May 1st. and Pentecost May II.
Easter can never come earlier
than March End. and the only
time it did or could do this from
the years 1901 to 1000 was in
1918. This was made possible
by having a full moon March
21st, and the following day be-
ing Sunday. The coincidence
does not occur more than once
in a century.

Smallpox Conditions

Jas. Phelps, George Medlin
and Tom Gribble, the school
board in the Walker district to-
gether with Henry White were
before the county court Monday
to secure some action of the
county board of health looking
to the suppression of smallpox
in that neighborhood. 1t ap-
pears from what has been con-
veyed to the board that proper
care is not being exercised by
some of those in whose homes
there is a case of the loathsome
disease and that unless there is
some restraint placed on some
who have been exposed to the
! disease and who carelessly
go about over the country, there
may be a considerable spread
! if not an epidemic.
DR.. Hawkins of the board of
health, went on a tour of inves-
tigation and found some cases in
a mild form in his round and
made valuable suggestions to all
with whom he met concerning
the way to prevent the disease
from spreading, which ought to
be followed. However, on the
suggestion of the gentlemen
above named together with that
of the prosecuting attorney, the
county court acting as board
of health, caused hand bills to be
struck which DR.. Hawkins will
distribute over the infected
neighborhood for the guidance
of all those in the neighborhood.
The hand bills request all who
are at any time exposed to this
disease not to circulate about un-
less sure that they are not infect
ed: further that all who are sick
with it should be placed in sep
arate rooms from the family and
someone selected to nurse and
provide for the sick one. 1t
does this to prevent the spread
of disease in the family as well
as over the neighborhood, so
the board of health has not
deemed regular quarantine
necessary and will incur no ex-
pense to the county on account
of any of the suggestions made
by DR.. Hawkins or in the circul-
ar, but in case the trouble ex-
Ipands so that the board deems
quarantine advisable, it will Sc
cure isolated quarters for the
diseased and have all of them
gathered in and taken there and
cared for as provided by law.
1t might be carelessness in some
who permit their children to go
to school from home where the
disease exists or allow members
of the family to go indiscrim-
inately about, will make it
necessary for the board to pro-
ceed according to law in their
cases, however much they may
dislike it. Every person from a
home where case of smallpox
exists, should exercise the great
est care and stay away from
others and all such homes should
have the flag signal stuck up to
warn. In this way heavy ex-
pense and much inconvenience
to families may be averted
