I had a painful ulcer on my ankle, which physicians allecl an olu man's sore, due to the poor etate of my blood. The sore spread to the size of a saucer, and I had to give up but- itiesw. The surgeons at Da tmouth College would I not perform an opera tion. claiming that my advanced age, 78 years, in itself was a barrier, and that only temporary relief could be given. I was pining over my misfortune when a friend urged meito try Hoods Sarsaparilla.

I had taken but part of a bottle when the eruption looked more healthy and after taking 6 bottles the sore Hoods Sa; Cures completely healed, leaving only a scar. Hoods Sarsaparilla also helped my whole system as I have not felt so well for ears. John S. Currier, West Lebanon, N. H.

While the proprietor was waiting on another customer Ansel inspected a jar that had something in it that resembled wax in appearance.

The glass jar contained carbonate of ammonia. Gov. Upham has applied to the war deparment for a detail of the United States troops to attend the encampment of the National guard of the state at the military reservation this summer.

C. J. Sharkey, the consolation prizes by Mrs. Charles Hudson and Mr. E.

LaFleur. The ladies of the C. I. A. extend thanks to Rev.

G. W. Rrady and Miss M. Brady for entertaining so large a party and for their efforts in making the evening an enjoyable one to all, for each and every one acknowled ged a good time. Lent Observation.

Editor Democrat: Some say, perhaps You speak of the design of Lent; what is it? Well, not to go through a mere form of being more religious; not make up for past neglect of duty; not to accumulate a surplus of piety and devotion suflicient to average up the rest of the years worldliness; certainly not as some giddy worldlings seem to suppose, to afford a body worn out with an exhausting round of amusements a chance to recuperate. No. The object of the Lenten Fast, is, by special instruction, careful self-discipline and extraordinary acts of devotion, as the prayer book styles them, to help the Christian shake off his worldliness and indevotion, and get himselt strengthened and resolutely girded up for a better life after Lent, a better one than he has ever lived before. Lent is not a sort of religious elevator used to lift the Christian up to a better level of holy living, only to be let down after Easter to the old life and the old ways. This is to make a religious shame, and a cultivator of hypocrisy No.

It is rather a rugged ascent which is designed to develope our better powers and bring out real strength of purpose and self-control, so that wh-rn we have reached its top, we can step out, as it were, on a noble plateau in the religious life, where the air is purer, the prospects more heavenly, and the Christian course more consistent and successful. It is designed to make one a better Christian, and to make it easier for him to be one and to keep on living as a Christian man ought to do for his souls health, for the good of mankind, and for the glory of Gyd. This is the object of Lent. Rector. An Hour Sale! THE Hive Bee That will last Four Days, beginning Monday noon (Feb.
