Too Much For Him.

Voltaire could not speak much Eng
lish. The reason why he refused to
study the language is this: It was
drilled into him that plague" was
pronounced "plaig," which he thought
very pretty and acceptable. But right
on top of it he was introduced to
"ague," which his teacher said must
be called "a-gue." Finding it impos-
sibe to reconcile the difference, he
went off into a philosophical tantrum
and dropped the study.

Consu|llp tio|l'
Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
mos.

ZIONIST CONGRESS PLANS.
Branch OF the Jewish Colonial Trust May
no started Here.

DIR. Joseph l. Bluestone of 22l Henry

to the congress OF the Zionists at Basic,
sails to-day on the Lucania. Although
DIR. Buestone has been elected a delegate
to each of the six Zionist conventions,
this il the first time that he has been able
to attend
The most important subject Of discussion,
according to DR.. Bluestone, will be the
purchase Of u tract of land in eastern Egypt,
under the British flag, and on the Palestine
border, to which sick and needy Russian
Jews may go. The tract will be large
enough for 5000 families. The emigrants
will support themselves by farming. The
Kishineff massacre started the delegates
discussing the project by letter, and COM
mittee undoubtedly will be appointed by
the congress to make the necessary
arrangements.
This, of course, is a separate matter from
the negotiations for the chartering of Pales-
tine from the Sultan of Turkey These
latter are being carried on by the executive
committee. headed by DR.. Herzl, at Vienna.
Last year the Sultan gave his consent to
turn over the tract, but under conditions
which the committee thought too rigorous.
DR. Bluestone said yesterday that he ex-
peCJSu inc MISUNDERSTANDING hC Lne coming
congress that the Sultan had modified
his demands Exactly what the unpalatable
conditions are no one on this side of tho
Atlantic seems to know.
An interesting subject for discussion
will be the starting Of branch Of the Jewish
Colonial Trust in New York. The only
other branch of this house was started
in Zaffa, two years ago. The starting OF
such branch will not injure other East
Side banks. according to DR.. Bluestone,
who is "A director Of the Federal Bank in
Grand street.
"A proof that the formation OF the United
Zonists OF New York is not a split from
the American Federation Of Zionists is
that we American delegates are all going
to meet in London and 60 to Basic together, "
concluded the doctor The congress will
last from Aug. 20 to Aug. 2S.
