Demonstration of the FarQuar Sanitary Furnace On the 25, 26 and 27 of February. A Fire Box of Steel J Without a rivet or joint—absolutely proof against escape of- gas —scientifically designed to draw every particle of heat from the fire. This is one of the many points of superiority of the Farquhar Sanitary Furnaces over evsrv ■other method of heating. Other furnaces permit the escape of gas through rivet holes and joints, contaminating the air before it reaches the registers, and failing utterly to provide adequate ventilation.'- The ! FARQUAR /0| Sanitary Furnaces combine a perfect system, of ventilation that completely IwJ)] \ (ISTi&ffcTfcv changes the air in every.room, four to six times art hour. iiiiTjffMff 1 r Distinctive —because especially designed for a slow fire jjfejrjpyyj to produce heat in volume but of moderate intensity to i I prevent overheated flues and unhealthy atmosphere. Fire I: \ 1 control is automatic, requires- no watching, steady flow j \ ,V ' | of heat day and night; —no dampers, no drafts to watch. I i One filling and cleaning every 24 hours keeps the house j! 1 Ira j[ I [ ' warm for 24 hours in zero weather. Simple in construe- 118 f tion, most durable, healthy heating system made. Let ITS ; i IJ» prove this to you. ' Call and examine it, see it compared i by practical test with other heating systems: J3m'\ I < E. D. Rhoades & Son

St. Augustine's Church Notes.

Next Sunday is Quinquagesima Sunday or the Sunday before the beginning of Lent, or Ash Wednesday/ On this Sunday, when so many Christians give themselves up to the dangerous pleasures of the world, the church brings before our eyes Jesus, who, out of infinite love for us, died to remove the blindness of our hearts. At the beginning of the divine service, in the words of the Psalmist, she calls upon God for help, with a sorrowful but confident heart, “Be thou uiito me a protector and place of refuge; save me, for thou art ray strength and refuge, and for thy name’s sake thou wilt by my leader, and wilt nourish me.”—Ps. XXX,2-4. The order of services will bo as follows: First mass at 8 o’clock. The Catholic Order of Foresters win receive holy communion in a body at this mass. This Sunday also is the general communion day ror the members of the Young Ladies’ Sodaliiy. High mass, rosary and sermon at 10 o’clock. At this mass the regulation for Lent will bo read ami explained. Christian doctrine, devotional exercises and benediction at 2:30. * The Holy Name Society will install the newly elected officers at their regular meeting, which will bo held at the parochial school at 7:30 p. m. Tho members of tho parish, as well as their friends, are cordially invited to be present. These Ineetlngs aro not only’ highly entertaining but very instructive also.

Eiglesbach; Treasurer, Mrs. W. Beck, Sr. I f i The young ladies will elect officers for the ensuing year at - o’clock Sunday, Feb. 14.
