CARDINAL ISSUES
LENT REGULATIONS
Orders of Church VIII Be Read
at All Masses on
Sunday.

Cardinal Farley has sent 10 ali
priests in his diocese the regulations
which will he read from pulpits to-
morrow at all masses and will be OBJ
served by Catholics during Lent,
which begins on February H. The
regulations this year are as follows:
"All the week days of Lent. from
Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, are
fast days Of precept, on one meal, with
the allowance of a moderate. COLLATION.
in the evening. The Church excuses
from the obligation Of fasting .(but not
of abstinence from flesh meat, except IN
special cases of sickness), the intrm,
those who are obtaining their growth,
those whose duties are of an exhaust
ing and laborious character, women IN
pregnancy or nursing infants and all
those of old age.
"The following dspensations are
granted to this diocese by the author
itv Of the Holy See for this year:
al. The use of flesh meats is allowed
AT every meal on the Sundays of Lent
and at the principal meal on Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, eX-
cept Ember and Holy Saturday.
"2. The use Of eggs and white meats
is allowed every day at the principal
meals, a. also at the collation..
"3. A small piece Of bread, with q
cup Of coffee, tea or chocolate may be
taken in the morning.
"a. The order of the principal meal
may be changed if necessary.
IS. Dripping and lard may be used
in preparing food.
IS. On Sunday there is neither fast
nor abstinence, but fish and flesh may
not be used at the meal.
az. Those who are exempt from the
precept of fasting NAV eat meat at the
three meals on meat days.
"S. BY a special indult granted 10
the bishops of the United States, dated
March Is. 1895, working people, who
cannot easily observe the common law
Of the Church, are dispensed from the
obligation of abstinence on all days or
the wear EXCEPT Fridays. Ash Wednes-
dsy. Holy Week and Christmas Eve.
This dispensation does not exempt
from the additional obligation Of fast
ing, where such exists, nor does 1t au-
thori7e the use Of fish and flesh at the
same meal. Ii includes. however, not
only the individual workman, in whose
favor it is granted but all the mem
bers of his family as we'll. In re-
turn il is expected that those who avail
themselves of this indult will endeavor
to enter into the spirit OF the holy sea-
son Of Lent by voluntary acts of aims
giving, modification and penance. A
most useful and commendable custom
is that Of abstaining during Lent from
stimulants, in honor of the Sacred
Thirst Of Our Divine Saviour.
"The time for fulfilling the Easter
precept of communion in the archdio-
cese extends from the first Sunday in
Lent 70 Trinity Sunday, inclusive"

Two thousand persons left Cooper

and chests pulled out nightly. DR..
Woods Hutchinson, speaking under the
auspices of the Peoples Institute, had
just proved TO them that they were all
descended from kings.
DR.. Hutchinson pooh-poohed eugenics
and said that heredity didn't cut a
very large factor in anybody's make
up. The germ OF nobility is in every
mortal, said the doctor, and all 1t
needs is bringing forth.
AS . proof OF this theory of democ-

PAGE IN NEUTRAL POSE
Ambassador Follows Wilson s
Theory at London Luncheon.
by Gable 10 The Tribune

London, Feb. 12.-Ambsssador Page
gave an excellent illustration at a
luncheon Of the American Luncheon
Club at the Savoy to-day Of how TO
look neutral under exacting circum-
stances. In fact, he was a living ex-
ponent Of President Wilson's theory
that Americans should keep their
minds only on things concerning them.
The incident arose as a result of an
address on Lincoln by Lord Charm
wood, who said Great Britain was now
fighting TO preserve government OF the
people, by the people, for the people.
There was tumultuous applause by
several scores of those present, but it
was not joined in by Ambassador Page,
who maintained dignifed and silent
pose.
