Apart from the religious basis for fasting observed during Lent the practice itself has a hygenic value, in that it gives the stomach a chance to rest from the overwork it is usually called to do the rest of the year.

The three bands of Berne have been consolidated, making a strong band of thirty members.

A newspaper is in no sense a child of charity, say® Charles M. Wilson, in the Lawton (Okla.) Weekly. It earns twice over every dollar it receives and it is second to no enterprise in contributing to the upbuilding of a community. Its patrons reap far more benefits from its pages than its publishers and in calling for the support of the community in which it is published, it asks for no more than in all fairness belongs to it. Patronize and help your paper, because it helps you and not as an act of charity. Yes, you are pretty certain to find things in the paper that you don’t care for and some things that don’t exactly suit you, says the Marquette (Kan.) Tribune. It is to be expected that you w-ill and it makes no difference what paper is referred to. if the paper w'ere gotten out solely and exclusively for you it might be arranged differently, but it is gotten out for the other several hundred as well. Do with newspapers as you would with the dinner course at the hotel —take what you want and pass up what you don’t care for. It was set out for the other fellow ,not all for you. Representative Jesse E. Eshbaugh has presented a bill in the legislature permitting the sale of fish taken from Indiana waters. There are many people who believe that this bill should be passed. Fish are now sold in considerable quantities and perjury is often resorted to in connection therewith. Some time since a quantity of fish were sold on the streets of Warsaw, including blue gills and bass which were said to have come from Illinois. It should be made lawful to purchase native fish without being compelled to go to the lakes and catch them.

In addition to the eighteen counties that have been voted “dry” under the local option law twenty-three others have for various periods been "dry” by the remous:raice method. Many other counties are partially “dry.” Even if the legislature finally repeals the county option act there will be no disturbance of the territory already rid of saloons, whether by remonstrance or county unit elections, during the legally prescribed period. Meanwhile, it appears more and more doubtful that repeal of the county law can be accomplished. If it should, the feat will foltow such amendment, of the repeal bill as will stringently condition what remains of the salooon traffic in Indiana. —Fort Wayne Sentinel.
