JEWISH new YEAR
PREPARATIONS FOR 1T NOW
UNDER WAY.
Year 1858 will Commence on septem-
Der 9-Selling Seats in Temples
for the Holidays.

Members of the local Jewish congrega-
lions are looking forward to the celebra-
tion of the Jewish New Year, or Rosh
Hashanah, which occurs on Monday, Sep
TENDER 3.
In the Jewish calendar this will begin
the year 566s.
Jews of all lands celebrate the day with
impressive ceremonies. Following a gem
eral custom, seats are being sold and, in
some Instances, auctioned off in temples
in this city, the engagement lasting during
the holiday season. In this way the con-
gregation contribute materially to the sup
port of the temple.
One of the beautiful features OF the New
Year Observance is the blowing of the
Shofar, or rams horn. The blowing or
the shofar requires considerable skill. 80
as to sound the proper notes. In the Pen
tateuch the shofar is prescribed for the an
rouncement of the new moon and solemn
feasts. The first day Of the seventh month
-Tishri. or New Years Day-is especially
termed a memorial Of blowing, or "a day
of blowing the shofar.' and the modern
use of the instrument survives especially
In this connection. In earlier days it was
employed also in other religious cere-
monials. In the temple at Jerusalem the
shofar was usually associated with the
trumpet and both instruments We're used
together on various occasions.
The services in the local temples will be
of n solemn character. for Rosh Hoshona
is a festival of grave import. The Ortho-
dox Hebrews continue the celebration un-
I'll the next day, but the reformed Jews
observe only the one day.
Three books of account are opened
wherein the fate Of the wicked. the right
eous and those not utterly bad are re-
corded. The names Of the righteous arc
at once recorded and they are sealed Ito
live:' those of the intermediary class have
ten %days-until Yon Kippur- to atone for
their sins. The wicked are "blotted" out
of the book of the living, according to
Psalms xix. IS.
A festival meal is an important feature
of the home celebration of the holidays.
The table is supplied with grapes, other
fruit and honey. After the benediction of
''Ha Chamoska." bread is dipped IN honey,
when the following is recited: May It
please the Lord, Our God. and God of our
fathers. to renew us for a good and sweet
year"
'fSchalchomonos," or presents. pass be-
tween friends and neighbors. The Jews
greet one another on New Years eve with
L schopa tavo Il k~asavo," which, inter-
rreted, means "Mayest thou be inscribed
for a good year"

RUMMAGE SALES OFF
State Board oe Health Says the Old
Clothes Offered at These Sales Are
Carriers of Many Disease Germs
Must Be Stopped.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 23.-If the recon-
mendations of the state board of health
count for anything there will be no
more rummage sales conducted by the
church ladies for the purpose of al
aeviating the sufferings of heather in
far-away heather lands.
The health board has no grudge
against the heather, and is willing that
they should be both clothed and edu-
Gated. At the same time, according to
DR.. Louis a. Thomas, the rummage
sale is an evidence of heathenism on
the part of those who hold them.
This is because the rummage sale is
calculated to distribute disease germs.
"Old clothes which have laid about
the house for years are rolled forth,
prgeant with every germ known to
the medical world, and are handled by
dozens Of different people, says DR..
Thomas. The possibilities are alarm
ing for spread Of disease, and l think
it would be emhnently proper If the
law should forbid the holding Of these
rummage sales
