series of very interesting editorials have appear
ed recently in the Washington Evening Star
American Citizenship, every class of inhabitants
being included.
As example of how radically America trans
forms in spirit, let consider the of the
Jew, using the word of course in it's proper sense.
The properly conditioned Jew is justly proud of his
race. But he has been described for centuries and
by historians of his own blood among others, as
man without capacity to build state and without
patriotism. This reproach has been hurled at him
at the present time. But how could Jew be
pected to feel patriotism in Russia where he has been
so misused? Or in France Austria, where he has
been the object of so much persecution? In England
and America where he has had mans chance his
record is altogether different In the United States
we know him as excellent citizen leader III bust
and in all good works. and generous giver to
charity We know him as legislator, execu-
tive an as an all round of affairs. We know
him like wise good soldier. No better fighter
has taken the field for the Unite States So that
if centuries ago, the Jew lacked statecraf and pa
trotsm, and has appeared to lack them at this time
in Europe, he has developed both qualities strongly
under the fostering of free institutions His pa
triotsm is at no discount in the United States

Richmond,
IT WAS a and pleasing sight to witness q
meeting of the size and Importance Of that held last
Sunday night by the Congregation Beth Ahaba in
which absoutelyno temper or bitterness was shown.
Indeed there understanding, expressed
more than once, that whatever the decision the mi
nority would yield gracefully That this pledge will
be redeemed goes without saying, and predict
that ere long many of those who on last Sunday
night opposed building will be among the most
dent workers in the cause. 1t seems to be one Of
those when project has been
ed it's way without giving rise to numerous bicK-
erings and discussions which spring so readily
out of church affairs in all denominations
1t must be admitted by all that it was no rash or
radical move to allow committee to purchase a lot
if they could procure the money to do so.
AS to whether or not new temple is needed the
service next Sunday evening be the weather propi-
tious, will afford a silent but eloquent answer
IT to be regretted that the Hebrew Ladies Me-
mortal Association was not liberal enough in it's
views grant the extremely reasonable request that
other time than the second day Of Shebuoth be
selected for memorial day. If Jewish organization
refuse to recognize the rights OF their people be-
cause they have the power to do So what have Jews
to expect from those in the majority in this country
We have heard that this particular day has been
selected because of the participants whose pres
ence is considered absolutely indispensable, will not
be able to attend at any other time. This is indeed
a regretabe state of affairs for should the weather
be inclement next Tuesday, there would be no Memo
rial Day this year for the first time in the history of
the Association.

You Can't
Dodge Them

Did you ever try to dodge the
rain-drops ? Did not succeed
very well, did you? It's just
as useless to try 10 escape from
the germs of consumption. You
can't do it. They are about us
on every hand and we are CON-
stantly taking them into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease ? Simply because
these germs cannot gain foot
hold in a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these are
weak that the germs master.
The body must be well supplied
with fat. The danger comes
when the blood is poor and the
body is thin. If your cough does
not yield, and your throat and
lungs feel raw and sore, you
should not delay another day.
