PENITENTiAL ASHES SIGNED
 ON FOREHEADS OF FAITHFUL

Lent began Wednesday, Ash We'd nesday, with a low mass at s o'clock read in St. r clz's church by Rev. Myles P. GalylIi, who also blessed the ashes obtained by burning the palms left from the previous Palm Sunday. At the close of the mass these ashes were signed in the form of a cross upon the forehead of each person present, who knelt at the altar rail ing, the priest saying in Latin. "Re- member. man, that thod art dust. and into dust thou shalt return In this ceremony of the distribution of the ashes Father Calvin had the assist ance of Rev. Peter J. Cuny. All DOT tions of the service and the prayers consisted of Scriptural passages re- lating to repentance for sin. Psalm eS was read, and the prayer to God who granted pardon to the Ninivites doing penance in ashes and sack cloth. One of the antiphons was Joel ?, beginning, Let us change our gar ments for ashes and sackcloth; let us fast and lament before the Lord" Esther 13 and Psalm 7S were read al- so. The final prayer was: Grant us 0 Lord, to begin our Christian war fare with holy lasts; that as we are about to fight against the spirit of the aids of self-denial'
 Organ and voices were mute and vestments worn by the priest were of penitential violet.
 Tn the evening the ashes were again distributed by the two priests following the recitation of the Ros- ary, led by Father Cuny. who also gave Benediction fthe Blessed Sac rament.

 man. One man loves her with des- pairing fervor, the disappointment in which leads him down to utter ruin. Another loves her with kind of pup py love. but with equal fervor, the disappointment of which leads him to murder. The third loves her purely from bestial desire, with the view point of voluptuary toward beau tiful intended victim. The desires of the latter lead him to his death by the hand of the second. MT.

Flu this Year is Milder

The rules given above, reeom- mended by\ the New York City Board of Health, are guides to good health at all times. Particu- larly should they be followed just now, when influenza is again abroad in the land. Authorities agree, however, that the flu this year is less severe than in the last epi- demic-the attacks are shorter and the death rate lower. In fact, many physicians insist that the epidemics now being reported from so many sections are not flu at all, but simply the old-fash- toned grip.
 Keep the Air Passages Healthy.
 While we know very little more about the flu now than we did last year-the germ itself has never been positively identified-still most authorities agree that the flu germs are breathed in. If the system is in good shape and the membrane or lining of the air passages is in healthy condition-these germs are thrown off.
 A good plan is to melt little Vick's VapoRub in a spoon, night and morning. and inhale the va DOTS also apply little up the nos trils several times a day, especially just before being exposed to. crowds.
 Treat All Colds Promptly
 Above all, keep free from colds, as colds irritate the lining of. the air passages and make them real breeding grounds for germs. Prompt use of Vici's VapoRub aids in, preventing colds. For head colds, sore throat or hoarseness, rub Vicks well over the throat and chest and cover with a warm flan- nel cloth. For deep chest colds, severe sore throat or bronchitis, hot wet towels should first be ap- piled to the throat, chest and back
