Women and Weights.

The Sioux City Daily Tribune comments as
follows on the campaign to obtain honest weights
and measures:
"A wave of reform in support of honest
weight and an honest measure seems to be sweep
ing the country. The man who weighs his hand
along with the boiled ham, pushes up the bottom
of the berry boxes, sells thirty-four inches for
year and eleven eggs for dozen has always ex-
listed and could always be reached by the COM
mon law, but many states have passed special
laws and created special officers to stop the
swindling of the ultimate consumer. A cool ST.

what the American people pay for but don't get

Rev. w. T. Upton.
The word itself is derived from q
Saxon word which means Spring.
Entomologically the Lenten season
means the spring season, and has no
spiritual significance We, however,
give it a spiritual character by the use
We make of it.
1t is a spiritual spring time when a
deep. full plowing into the consciences
of the people-when generous SOW
ing of the Word of Goodwill later on
bring forth a rich harvest of souls,
sanctifed and made like unto the Son
of God, and of deeds holy and good,
like His.
1t is time when a man puts his
soul on trial; examines vigorously its
motives and doings; judges it by
what God requires, and sees where it
stands in its progress heavenward.
1t is a time when we enter, as it
were, a cloud which hides the world
and its vanities from view, that in
communion with God we may learn
how best to resist the every day temp
tations which waylay US from birth
to death.
1t is time when the repentant SOUL
like the prodigal son, arises and goes
home to his father and says 81 have
sinned,' and feels the JOY of forgive
ness in His loving embrace and kiss.
1t is commemorative of the 40 days
of fasting and prayer which our Saw
