DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the

These little olive-colored tablets are
the result Of DIR. Edwards deter

The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does. but have
nc bad after effects. They don't
injure the teeth like strong liquids
or calomel.. They take hold of the
trouble and quickly correct 1t. Why
cure the liver at the expense of
the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
liquids. 1t is best not to take

Citizens Plea Denied on

The street car riding public must
continue to pay the same fare on

Company. So
Claiming that the cutting o: the
present carfare rate ON the Capitai

tjtions filed with the commission by
the; Federation Of Citizens Assocla-
tions and the Columbia Heights Citi-

duction in rates.
. The representatives Of the citl-
Gems associations, in their petitions,
had contended that inasmuch as the
net returns OF the Capital Traction
Company are far greater than those
of the Washington Railway and

charged the same far, that this con.

CORPORATION Counsel Stephens. on
the contrary, in his opinion sub
mitted to the. Public Utilities Com.
mission today, said:
"I' think that the commission
would be guilty of discrimination If
It should permit one company to
charge a different fare from that of
another company for substantially
similar service, though l would not
admit this Is sound legal argument,
because the law is entirely silent,

"''"rhe commission" Mr.. Stephens
continued. IN his opinion, would be
much more open TO Il charge or dis
examination if we should permit one
company, for example, to charge q
scent fare from Mt. Pleasant to the

permit another cmpany to charge a
6l3-cent fare Fl substantially the

Mr.. Stephens expressed the opinion
that the arguments of representa-

Mr.. stephens added that the same
rate of fare was fixed for both COM

the street railroads all over the coun-

and when q. different arrangement
would have "imperiled the solvency''
of one of the companies here.

our men together from shore to-

and at the same time will bring our
Catholic men into touch, one with the

THE purpose of the Bishops, there
fore. was to ask the laymen' of the
parishes to band together that they
be of service in their parish, that they
take UP among themselves the great
questions of the hour, and when there
Is an opportunity for them to express
themselves on these questions, to do
SO. But the first purpose of the or
ganization is to be good men, good
Catholic men, interested Catholic men
in their own parish. But l do want
action. / do want life. I remember
the jellyfish on the coast of Florida.
They are alive, but you would never
know it. You people must do your
share, and to do your share you must
have some kind of organization that
will take in every man in the parish,

prayers for the dead. it is placed about
where the remains would be in d
funeral service, that is, outside tho
sanctuary gate. 1t may have candles
around it, and be sprinkled and in
censed during the ceremony of the
absolution. Sometimes, in place of a
catafalque, a black cloth is laid before
the lowest altar step and answers the
same purpose.
individuals and even whole nations
are scretimes guided by local custom
in the more or less elaborate use of
the catafalque. Possibly some church.
tes do not use it except where special
solemnity is desired, or for lack of
space and liturgical equipment.
Is it right for a Catholic to 90 to a
place where there is wedding and
take part in charivari, demanding
money, etc?
vulgar and sometimes scandalous.
Marriage is called by st. Paul great
sacrament, and it's sacredness should
never be profaned by any part or fea-
ture of the wedding celebration after
the church ceremony. Catholics
should be ashamed to ape the follies
that somehow have come to be much
in vogue at certain classes of we'd
dings.
