CoN-RITE SINNER ASSURED
 MERCY OF LORD. SAYS PRIEST

The charge of being busy with folly and careless of eternity could not have been made against the women of St. Patrick's parish Wednesday by the Fath- CTS of L.aSalette, who are giving the two weeks mission in that church, for in spite of unfavorable weather crowds att tended the morning exercises at 5 and s o'clock, also the services in the even ing at 730 The dominant thought of the missionaries instructions during the day was the unfailing and infinite mercy of God, Who wills not the death of the sinner, but rather that he be converted and live. At o'clock Father Conlon spoke along this line and again at the same preacher considered the subject of contrition, that Is, sorrow for sin, de- testation of all evil-doing. If there were true and genuine love of God there would be no sin. The little child who has been insolent to his father realizes his disobedi- Hence, ingratitude and becomes sincerely sorry So should men be sensing their in- gratitude to the best and most merciful of Fathers.
 To be efficscious contrition must be 1 interior-that is, one can be contrite with out the show of emotion and tears; 1t
 must be sovereign, a true hearted sorrow 1 for having offended a loving Father; il
 must be universal, covering all the sins of ones life, and it must be supernatural
 not mere regret because sin has brought l temporal suffering, but genuine repent
 ance of soul. When to true sorrow is
 added the firm resolution never-with Gods help-to offend again, that is per

 may be the besetting sin. If this per | feet contrition exists, the Catholic has the l right to feel assured that, after a sin i cere confession, the pardon given by tht ! duly accredited representative of Chris ] will be ratihed above. | None need despair of pardon doubtles! | the townspea5le of even so great a sin

 The normal tax, so called, which is paid by everyone who pays any income tax at all, on the first s4,000 of net in come or any fraction thereof in taxes of the exemptions. is 4 per cent, and on the remainder of the net income per cent. The new law requires that the surtaxes Or extra taxes above the normal tax shall be applied as follows: One per cent. on that part of the net income between s5,o00 and S6,000 per cent on the amount by which the net income exceeds s6,000 and does not exceed ss,- LOO, and 3 per cent. on that part be- tween ss.oo0 and s10,o0o.

STALE BLOOD
 BLURS LIVING
Gude's Pepto-Mangan Revives the Blood to Healthy
 State

Stale blood blurs living. It dullS the love for pleasure, and weakens the spirit. Thoughts sink into an unre- deemed dreariness that no goading of the will can dispel. Where there was thrilling excitement, there is only an aching sensation of fatigue.
 Guides Pepto- -Mangan taken regu- Iarly for a while puts a check to the facilitating effects of thin, watery blood. It supplies the blood with red eorpuscles, steps it up to it's normal, rich redness. Then it is that the plea sures of rhythmic living return. The sn1ouldering glow of fife warns and brightens- so that the pleasant sensa = tions of eating. sleeping, walking in the golden % sunshine, breathing deep the health-giving air, again become thrilling and full of delight.

INCOME TAX WILL BE
 LESS FOR MOST PEOPLE

LESS FOR MOST PEOPLE
 Although the tax revision bill which passed the senate is to be materially changed in the conference committee of the two houses it is reasonably certain that the income tax schedules will re- main as the senate has enacted them, with one exception. Where the house fixed g per cent. as the maximum sur tax and the senate raised that figure to 50 per cent. it is understood that the conferees a'ready have agreed to a com promise at 42 per cent.
 Laying this aside and considering merely the majority of income taxpay- CTS it is safe to advise them that they can begin to calculate what they will have to pay next year when they make up their returns. It will be less than they had to nay this year. Rates are lower in many instances and exemptions are more liberal
 While the exemption for sing'e per sons without dependants remains at. the present level of sf,000 of income, the ex- emption in the case of married taxpay- CTS or those having dependents has been Increased from the present S2.000 to g. 500. and the exemption on account of children under IS years has been ad- vanced from the present S200 to s4o0 e2ch.
