PUT RELIGIOUS DUTY SECOND.
Stern Laws Of Business Come First
Says Austrian Court.

An interesting case at law, which
celtered on the observance of an old
Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna
recently. A merchant. says the Ameri-
can Israelite, discharged clerk on ac-
count of neglect of duty. Among the
charges against him was that he came
TO the store late in the morning be-
cause he attended service at the syna-
gogue in order to say Kaddish-the
prayer for the dead-for his father.
The clerk argued that it was his privi-
lege and his duty to say the prayer for
his departed father, while the mer-
chant, who was also a religious man,
maintained that IF Moses had known
that a man had to pay 5000 gulden a
year rent ne would have made differ
ent laws" The judge would not allow
such an argument, but decided in ia
vor of the merchant. because the
daily attendance at the synagogue
could not be considered the right of
the clerk without the consent of the
employer"

sugar crop will prove a financial
failure unless the price of sugar ad.

hours the patient will be out of danger.
This simple remedy has seldom fail.
