DESTINY OF THE JEW.

To Give the World Homogeneous
Humanity, Says Walter Hurt.
Zionsm, as it presents itself to me,
is a beautiful but Il barren dream. 1t
is the noble conception Of splendid
sentimentaliSt, born from the grand
brain and nurSed in the great heart
of Theodore Herzl and well calculated
to Inspire the Imagination of people
that have cherished through the cen
turtles its imperishable ideals. 1t is the
flower of mighty love that never can
know a momentary fruition.
In this clannishness of the Jew, en-
gendered by ages Of persecution, we
find the philosophy OF conditions that
appear to us as cruel. His has been but
a preparatory experience. The strong
est bond of brotherhood in the world
today is that Of Jewish blood. 1t is
the red badge of Il freemasonry found
ed on Il community of suffering, and
its ritual is written large upon each
heart in letters of pain. And this it is
that at last will weld the world to-
gether. With the infusion of Jewish
blood into the universal social bOdy-a
blood become so distinctive that il
will tincture the whole vast volume
men will meet from the ends of the
earth and, looking in each others face,
will recognize clansman.

STOPS DRINK CRAVING.

Nothing is responsible for more suf-

for which he is authorized to sell under
positive guarantee if it does not stop
the drink craving and absolutely cure
the drunkard, the money will be re-

given without the patients knowledge,
