ANCIENT JEWISH CUSTOM.
Cleansing of a Flour Mill in Prepare
ton Of the Passover Feast.

Cincinnati Enquirer: An ancient
Jewish custom was revived when Rabbi
L%ipschitz and a local manufacturer OF
matzos, the unleavened bread used by
the Jews during the passover festival.
went to Indianapolis to purify" a flour
mill which the matZos manufacturer
had chartered for six months.
According to the Jewish custom. the
flour used in the baking OF unleavened
bread must not come in contact with
flour made for ordinary purposes. and
must be made especially for the baking
of matzos. As the matzos baker has
not a mill of his own he u charter
one for the period during which he
bakes the matZos. The mill which has
this year been chartered Is located in
indianapolis. As 1t has been used dur
ing the past year for the manufacture
of ordinary -four an elaborate process
OF cleaning becomes necessary. This
takes one week, during which time a
rabbi must stay at the mill to see that
the work is lone well, and not a speck
of the unhallowed meal remains. II
the end of the week he makes a thor
ough examination. and then issues a
report declaring the flour religiously
pure.
The manufacturer of matzos begins
ut the latter part of December. al
though the passover festival does not
until the beginning OF April.
Put SO great is h demand that the
manufactures. has all he can do to sup
Div IL within three months. Mr.. Man

the largest dealer In the country.

The Food of Great Men.

Apropos of Thomas Edison's recent
advocacy of more work as a cure for
overwork, and little food and sleep as
highly beneficial, a writer in the current
Harper's Weekly talks en~tertainingly
about the dietary habits OF certain
great men. Mark Twain, for example,
who celebrated his SEVENTEEN birthday
this week, has lately cured himself Of
indigestion by substituting three or
four frugal meals n day for one big
one; he smokes q lot, does not take
any exercise to speak of, and when he
has something important to 10 stays
abed until it is done" Mr.. Edison
smokes, gets little sleep, and eats very
frugally: and many other eminent and
hard working men follow their example.
The truth is, though, says the writer,
that any beginner who followed Mark
Twain's regimen would come punCtual-
" to grief, for the seasoned
mind worker of mature years is apt
to be one Of the toughest things that
natures laboratory produces. An aver
football player is a baby in the
important kinds of hardness compared
with a thoroughly seasoned lawyer or
writer

HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and Stom-
ach Trouble.
}. What is the beginning of sickness

q. What is the beginning Of sickness!
A. Constipation.
q. What is Constipation?
A. Failure Of the bowels to carry eff
the waste matter which lies in the ali
mentary canal where it decays and poi
sons the entire system. Eventually the
results are death under the name Of some
other disease. Note the deaths from
typhoid fever and appendicitis, stomach
and bowel trouble at the present time.
q. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond 10 the call of ma
ture promptly. Lack of exercise. Excess
isiye brain work. Mental emotion and
improper diet.
q. What are the results of neglected
Constipation?
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. 1t causes rheu-
matism, colds, ~fevers, stomach, bowel.
kidney, hung and heart troubles, etc. 1t
is the one disease that starts all others.
Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhOea, loss of
sleep aud strength are its symptoms
piles, appendicitis and fistuia are caused
by Constipation. It's consequences are
known to al physicians, but few suffer
ers realize their condition until it is too
late. Women become confirmed inyalids
as a result Of Constipation.
q, DO physicians recognize this?
\. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you is ARE you e~onstipated?' That
is the secret.
@. Can it he cured2
a. Yes. with proper treatment. The,
rommon error is TO resort to physics.
such as pills, salts, mineral water, castor
oil. injections, etc. every one of which
is injurious. They weaken and increase
the malady. You know this by your own
experience.
Q. What then should be lone to cure
A. Get a bottle of Mull's Grape Tonic
TT once. MuIl's Grape Tonic will posi-
lively cure Constipation and Stomach
Trouble in tire shortest space of time. No
ether remedy has before been known To
lure Constipation positively and perma-

IF the juice of Concord Grapes. 1t ex-
frts a peculiar strengthening, healing in
~tluence upon the intestines, so that they
{ an do their work unaided. The process
i gradual, but sure. 1t is not a physic.
: ut it cures Constipation, Dysentery,
Stomach and Bowel Trouble. Having n
rich. fruity grape flavor. it is pleasant To
Jake. As a tonic it is ~unequalled, insur-
ing the system against disease. 1t
strengthens and builds up waste tissue.
.. Where can Mull's Grape Tonic be
had?
a. Your druggist sells it. The dollar
bottle contains nearly three times the 80
cent size.
