The Holy Season of Lent, whicn begins next Wednesday, suggests that
attention be called to the regulations
of the new code of Canon" 'Law in regard to the observance of Fasts and
Abstinence, and to the annual Easier
■iuty.
The law of abstinence forbids the-eat-
.ng flesh meat and of broth made
of meat, but does not exclude the use
of eggs, milk and the products of milk
(namely cheese and butter), and any
reasonings of food, even those made
from the fat of animals. (Canon 1250.)
The Jaw of Fasting ordains that on-
y one full meal a day be taken, but
does not forbid a small amount of
food in the morning and in the evening. As regards the kind of food aud
the amount that may be taken, the approved custom of one's locality are to
be observed.
One may not partake of both fish and
flesh meat at the .same meal. The full
meal may be taken in the evening and
the collation at noon.    (Canon 1251.)
ABSTINENCE only, is enjoined on
Fridays throughout the year.
FAST and ABSTINENCE are pr3-
scribed on the following days: Ae._-
Wednesday, the Fridays and Saturdays in iLent, Ember-Days, the Vigils
of Pentecost, of the Assumption, of All
Saints Day and of Christmas Day.
FAST only is ordained for all other
days of Lent.
On Sundays and holidays of obligation, except on a holiday in Lent,
there is neither fast nor abstinence,
and if the vigil that Is a fast day
falls on a Sunday the fast is not io
be anticipated on Saturday, but is
dropped altogether that year. The
Lenten fast and abstinence cease at
twelve o'clock noon on holy Saturday.
(Canon 1.52.)
The law of abstinence binds ail who
have completed their seventh year of
age.
The law of fasting binds all who
have completed their twenty-first
year until the beginning of their sixtieth year.
In virtue of the authority granted
to bishops, the Easter time for this
diocese is extended from the Fourth
Sunday of Lent to Trinity Sunday.
. The faithful are counseled to receive their Easter Communion in
their own pariS')i church, and if they
fulfill thie duty elsewhere, they should
notify their own- pastor of the fact.
(Canon 859).
The spirit of Lent also suggests
that those excused from fasting or
abstinence practice some other form
of self-denial, abstinence from intoxicating drink being especially recommended by the Holy Father..
Good Catholics will also abstain
during Lent from all noisy amusements, from dancing, card parties,
theatres and picture shows.
The devotion of the Way of the
Cross will be held in all churches na
Friday evening of Lent.

Well, that's  the proper plan;
The man who walks   the single

Ain't more than half a man.
Now, Bill, don't kick  too much
at home,
Don't praise yer mother's pies
Agree with her 'bout ev'rything,
An' don't be too blamed wise-
Take notice  of the  clothes she
wears,
An' say her duds are fine;
Declare eachday she's beautiful,
An' call her eyes divine.
They're vain, the whole blamed
lot of 'em—
I'm old enough to know;
She'll loye you better if yer still
Her praise bes to win' beau.
Just let ner think she's runnin'
you;
It won't do any harm;
An' when she's   cranky,  kissin'
her
Will work out like a charm.
Don't fail to   let  her have   her
way,
They're stubborn  through an'
through,
But ;bove all, Bill, don't tell yer
Ma
What I've been tellin' you.
