By feeding the nerves directly and by suppiying the cells with the necessary phos- fobd elements, bitro-phosphate should produce a welcome transforma- tion in the appearance: the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. ~ in weight also carries with t 3 general improvement in the health, sieeples and lack of h nearly always accom- ive thinness, should soon disappear, dull eyes ought to_brighten and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health.

Throughout the examination = Mar- tens sought to draw a distinction be- tween acts of his government and his own ‘“official” 'activities and those of the Russian communist party. The witness said had not incited rev- olutien in the United States and Mr. Ellis produced a letter signed by Te- nine, Soviet premier, dated in Jan- uary, 1819, urging a soviet govern- ment and “overthrow” reactionary la- bor leaders “like Gompers” and also overthrow “Bourgoisie parliaments.” Martens said the letter did not come through him, but added’that ‘“under certain circimstances such a letter might be justified.” The letter was “war propaganda,” he said, adding that Russia “was at war with all powers during the last two years.” ‘“The United States did not de- clare war on Russia, aid it,” asked Senator Brandegee, republican, Con- necticut. “It made war without declaring it,” the witness said. “Wds that war going on when you were appointed?” “Yes,” “Then - your go@emmem appointed a representative in a country with whieh it was at war,” the senator persisted. “Officially there was no war,” Mar- tens said, “but actually there was war, which now is finished.” DR. AND MRS. HOWLAND’'S WORK IN MEXICO In the annual report of the Wo- man’s Board of Missions appears the following regarding the work of Dr. and Mrs. John Howland, formerly of Danlelson and well known here: In Mexico City we find Dr. and Mrs. Howland who are now connected Mrs. Howland prophesies that the development of the native church will be rapid and there will be plenty of work for the missioharies in train- ing workers as rapidly as, possible and that when the young pastors en- ter upon their labors with thorough training and with ideals of co-opera- tion as a basig for 'ChriStian service “things will move. Mrs. Howland has charge of the boarding depart- ment for the students and for the faculty. Housekeepers in the United States will be abie to sympathize with her in her complaint that “it is a ‘problem to get enough of anything that is nourishing with the small al- lowanee granted for the living ex- penses of the students. In former days our boys could always have érough beans and tortillas whatever else was lacking, but now corn and beans and fice are very expensive and also breag and meat and all veg: etables and fruit.

To save meat one has aspara- 8us on toast, costing here almost four times as much, or cake thout su- gar, using a pound of raisins worth their weight in gold. Cornmeal costs far more than wheat flour, and oat- meal and cream of wheat are great luxuries; so we cannot eat cereal to sdve bread as we are told.” In add tion to these harassing cares, Howland must supervise the v ironing and mending—no small where the supply of garments tremely limited and the high prohibits purchasing more.

PENITENTIAL ASHES SIGNED ON FOREHEADS OF FAITHFUL Lent began Wednesday, Ash,Wed- nesday, with a 'ow. mass at § o'clock read in St. P ck’s church by Rev. Myles P. Galvii, who also blessed th ashes obtained by burning the palms Ieft from the previous Palm Sunday. At the close of the mass these ash weré signed in the form of a cross upon the forehead of each: person! present, who knelt at the altar ra ing, the priest saying in Latin, “Re- member, man, that thod art dust, and into dust thou shalt return.’” In this ceremony of the distribution of the ashes Pather Galvin had the assist- ance of Rev. Peter J. Cuny. All por- tions of the service and the prayers consisted of Scriptural passages re- lating to repentance for sin. Psalm 88 was read, and the prayer to God whe granted pardon to the Ninivite: doing penance in ashes ang sacl cloth. One of the antiphons was Joel 2, beginning, “Let us change our gar- ments for ashes and sackcloth; let us fast and lament before the Lord.” Esther 13 and Psalm 73 were read al- so. The final prayer was: “Grant us, O Lord, to begin our Christian war- fare with holy fasts: that as we are about td fight against the spirit of wickedness, we may be defended by the aids of self-denijal.” Organ and voices were mute and vestments worn b( the priest were of penitential violet, the evening the ashes were again distributed by the two priests, following the recitation of the Ros- ary, led by Father Cuny. who also gave Benediction o fthe Blessed Sac- rament. 1 a | i | H 8hop Meeting Notes.
