is their war cry. They do not wish
to have reform ideas taught in the
schools but rather reform ideas they
would prefer to have no religious in
struction.
One provision of the bill arollses mis-
yivngs in the conservative party. 1t is
that which prescribes for larger towns
where there are several congregations
that the oldest rabbi, or the one longest
in service, have the direction of the Jew
ish religious instruction in the public
schools. This provision does not disturb
the radicals. for their steady contention
is that the difference between reform
and orthodoxy are only on the surface
and insignificant The orthodox on the
other hand oppose such an Interpretation
at every opportunity, and with regard
to this provision of the school bill they
dread the contingency where the oldest
rabbi will belong to the reform wing
The bill on the whole, however. meets
with general approval. The spirit which
it manifests on the part of the govern
ment to secure religious liberty and safe
guard the interests of the denominations
that are in the minority is very encour-
aging. Especially welcome is the prom

Religious Instruction
in PruSSian Schools

The orthodox or gesetzestreue
Jews Of Prussia are rejoicing over vic
tory in the Prussian House Of Represent
atives. The bill providing for religious
instruction in the public schools has
been advanced to the third reading. This
bill permits Jews to appoint the relig
ious teachers not only in schools under
their own control, but also in public
schools where Il specified minority of the
pupils are of Jewish parentage. The ex-
isting laws in this respect are confirmed
and amended in the direction Of greater
tolerance and freedom. The government
pledges itself to contribute toward the
maintenance of the Jewish instructors
who will be appointed.
The victory which the gesetzestreue'
party sees in the bill over the "Neolo-
gen. Or radicals lies in the fact that the
bill does not make the giving of religious
instruction compulsory, but leaves it
wholly optional whether Jews will avail
themselves of their privilege. The geset-
zestreue" Jews fear the aggressive
tactics of the radicals. Freedom

SO as to reduce the head tax on immi-

babies or the aged when deficiency Of

For fever patients or those on liquid

water very nourishing and refreshing.
This recipe is my own idea and is
Of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and a spoonful
of fruit juice or favoring. This af-
fords great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim-
ilate without distress.

years of age owned and edited a news

had a national reputation for pre-
cocious intelligence, committed sui
eide in a rooming house here Saturday
by breathing fumes of gas. Murphy
won fame in New York several years
ago by gaining an interview with the
late Russell Sage and successfully ne
gotiated a loan of $50 without any Sc
curity from that f1nancier. While in
knickerbockers Murphy left his faith

cleverness secured enough money to
stop at the best hotels, stopping at the

he was fetad by the guests.
