The County High Schoo! Dor

The County High Schoo! Dor
mitory is again open to receive
students for the coming year.
Owing to the prevailing high
prices it will be Necessary to
raise the price of board. Mrs.
Gwathmey the ma.ron thinks it
can be managed on three dollars
per week for girls and three dol
lars and a quarter for boys, if
patrons will pay promptly in ad-
vance each week or month. The
High School Committee decided
to adopt this estimate with the
understanding that if the ex-
pense should exceed this amount
it would be prorated among those
in attendance. It is fully expect
ed, however, that the above will
be sufficient to cover all expenses

leaves the body; but the soul lives on l forever.
 | The longest earthly life seems short, and none can foreteI the exact | length of the span of his existence in this world. Life ends often in child hood or early youth, principally through the heritage of those sins of the fathers which result in impaired bodily strength, quite frequently because of ignorance of or disregard for the laws of hygiene, or because of ones own sins. But whatever the length of life, it is sufficiently long to enable man to carry out Gods purpose for him, to make this earthly exist ence a fitting preparation for eternity Life then is a training time and in
 the perfect system of the Catholic doc
 Urine there comes the intensive train
 ing of Purgatory, which fits the soul
 for an eternity of service in Gods
 army of those men of good will who
 have gone beforeA Those who, while
 calling themselves Christian soldiers,
 shirk this training, this discipline,
 who live rather for sin, they are the spiritual slackers whom the preacher scored. If obedience to God and sIis 1aw-His ten commandments-is ones main purpose, then will a man be in condition to answer Ready" when the final summons comes There will be none of the cringing of the spirit ual stacker. who, after a life given up to indulgence, hopes to get by. on his death bed-a chance he cannot always count upon.
 The fact that no life Is wholly sat isfied, that there is always the craving for Perfection, is. the preacher said. to his mind the strongest proof of the immortality of the soul.

 In the state of Connecticut the di- rect cost of the liquor traffic is $16 to s17 per person. but the direct cost is not less than $100 for each inhabitant as I can demonstrate to anyone who will sit down with me to go over the facts. The sacrifice of 66 to 67.00O. Connecticut's share is sso.
