The tale of frozen water pipes is
the gist of woe of all Boardman cit

most thrilling of these tales was
that told by Jess Mathis who lives
in the small house purchased from
Mrs. F. A. Fortier. He left the wa

freezing. This was quite effective,
but the sink drain froze up and
when the Mathis family wakened

with the necessary data for each
person vaccinated. The cards should
be returned to the station furnish
ing the vaccine.
The vaccine should be kept in a
cool place but not allowed to freeze.
It is given hypodermically.
The vaccine is of no value in
treatment and should be given ten
days before exposure. It will pro
tect for one season and persons liv
ing in infected districts should be
revaccinated annually. Each year's
vaccination increases the immunity.
Since this vaccine is provided free,
it is expected that no charge shall
be made for material. The vaccine
is distributed by the United States
Public Health Service to physicians
only.

Rev. Thomns J. Brady, Pastor.
The holy season of Lent has en
tered its second week of warning
and appeal to the souls of all Chris
tians for it is the acceptable time,
the time of salvation. Lent lasts
forty days, excluding Sundays, in
honor of the fast of forty days and
nights of Christ in the desert. Lent
should lead the Christian soul to do
penance for his sins, which must be
something terrible since their atone
ment required the death of the Son
of God. Jesus Christ in the words
of the Prophet says to all: "All
ye who pass by, stop and see if
there is any sorrow like unto My
sorrow."
In St Patrick's church next Sun
day, February 24th, there will be
mass at 8:30, with confessions and
Holy Communion. A second mass

Vaccine is Protection
Against Tick Fever
Persons residing in the North
west often ask If the tick found in
their locality is the same as the
spotted fever tick, and if so why
they do not have spotted fever.
The dermacentor venustus is prob
ably found throughout the state of
Oregon. The infected tick however,
is limited to certain valleys in east
ern Oregon. In order to cause
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever it
must carry the germs of this dis
ease. The tick takes two years to
complete Its life cycle. The adult
ticks, male and female, are found
from March until early July. Ticks
are normally parasites of wild ani
mals. They have become parasites
of domestic animals and of man be
cause man has gone into localities
where they are present.
Ten years ago there was practic
ally no way of protecting man from
the bite of the infected tick. The
United States Public Health Serv
ice at its laboratory In Hamilton
Montana, has developed a vaccine
which gives protection against
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
This vaccine will be available to
every physician in the state of Ore
gon after February 15th. The re
quest should be made to "The Offi
cer In Charge, U. S. Public Health
Service, Hamilton, Montana."
The request should state the num
ber of persons for whom the vac
cine is desired and will be filled in
order of receipt Each lot of vac
cine sent out will be accompanied
by full directions for administra
tion and by cards to be filled out
closing with Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament. On Wednes
days, Fridays and Saturdays,
throughout Lent, there will be mass
in the church at 7:45 a. m., with con
fessions and Holy Communion. On
Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays
throughout Lent there will be eve
ning devotions lasting three quar
ters of an hour with special prayers
to bring down God's blessings up
on homes, city, and Nation, and suc
cess in the year's business upon the
people, regardless of creed. All are
invited to assist at any and all of
these services. The pastor will
again this year on Good Friday,
March 29th, respectfully ask all bus
iness houses to close between noon
and three o'clock, in honor of the
last three hours of Christ's life upon
earth.
If one will live with Christ for
ever after death, one's life must
have Christ for imitation and ideal,
there is no salvation outside of
Christ and His sacred teachings.
FIRE AT LEXINGTON.
The Sanford Green house in Lex
ington, occupied by Mrs. Helen

ed and a large number of men re
sponded, the fire being extinguished
with buckets and a garden hose
without the use of the fire depart
ment equipment. The house was
not insured, and the damage will
probably not exceed $250.00.
