VEGETABLE MEDICINES.

Many people still have the "drug
habit" as the enormous sale of patent
medicines and drug preparations we'll
proves. But persons who have given
the matter serious thought have be-
come more and more doubtful that
the taking of drugs into the stomach
ever benefited anyone-nay, convin-
ced that it is harmful. But if one
must take something" it is better
to take medicine in vegetable foods
than to be swallowing drugs, many
of them poisonous. A health jour-
nal gives the following list of vege
table medicines
Turnips, onions, cabbage, cauli-
flower, watercress and horseradish
contain sulphur.
Potato, salts of potash.
French beans and lentils give iron.
Watercress, oil, iodine, iron, phos-
phate. and other salts.
Spinach, salts of potassium and
iron. Food specialists rate this the
most precious or vegetables.
Cabbage, caulihower and spinach
are beneficial to aeuemic people.
Tomatoes stimulate the healthy
action Ct the liver.
Asparagus benefits the kidneys.
Celery for rheumatism and neural
gia.
The carrot forms blood and beauti-
6es the skin.
Beets and turnips purify the blood
and improve the appetite.
Lettuce for tired nerves.
Parsley, mustard. cowslip, horse
radish, dock, dandelion and beet tops
clear the blood, regulate the system
and remove that tired feeling SO pc
culiar to spring.

it for the binding tears. The earl
read it then he sternly said /:
Sir, do you call this wealth p
but doubtless you do in your inflated
country. Sir, you are left sole heir
to a vast collection of echces-if a
thing can be called collection that
is scattered far and wide over the
huge length and breadth of the Amer
ican continent sir, this is not all !;
you are head and ears in debt there
is not an echo in the lot but has a
mortgage on it !; sir, am not hard
man, but must look to my child's
interest if you had but one echo
which you could honestly call your
own, if you had but one echo which
was free from incumbrance, so that
you could retire to it with my child,
and by humble, painstaking industry
cultivate and improve it, and thus
wrest from it maintenance, would
not say you nay but / cannot marry
my child to a beggar. Leave his
side. my darling go, sir, take your
mortgage ridden echoes and quit my
sight forever
"My noble Celestine clung to me
in tears, with loving arms, and swore
she would willingly, nay gladly,
marry me, though 1 had not an echo
in the world. But it could not be.
We were torn asunder, she to pine
and die within the twelvemonth, I to
toll life's long journey sad and lone,
praying daily, hourly. for that re-
lease which shall join us together
again in that dear realm where the
wicked cease from troubling and the
weary are at rest. Now. sir, if you
will be so kind as to look at these
maps and plans in my portfolio I am
sure can sell you an echo for less
money than any man in the trade.
Now this one, which cost my uncle
ten dollars, thirty years ago, and is
one of the sweetest thing IN Texas,
l will let you have for"
"Let me interrupt you," I said.
my friend, I have not had a mo-
ment's respite from canvassers this
day. / have bought sewing ma
chine which / did not want / have
bought map which is mistaken in
all its details I have bought clock
which will not go; have bought a
moth poison which the moths prefer
to any other beverage have bought
no end of useless inventions, and now
I have had enough of this foolishness.
/ would not have one of your echoes
if you were even to give it to me. I
would not let it stay on the place.
I always hate a man that tried to sell
me echoes. You see this gun Now
take your collection and move on
let us have no bloodshed.
But he only smiled sad, sweet
smile. and got out some more dia-
grams. You know the result per-
fectly we'll, because you know that
when you have once opened the door
to a canvasser, the trouble is done
and you have got to suffer defeat.
I compromised with this man at
the end of an intolerable hour. I
bought two double barrelcd echoes
in good condition, and he threw III
another, which he said was not sala
BILE because it only spoke German.
He said "She was perfect poly

GONE BACK TO GOOD OLD NAMES.

"I was looking over the society col
umn of my newspaper, said a lady
of the old school to the New York
correspondent of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, land it did my heart good to
see how people have returned to the
good old habit of giving their girls
names that stand for dignity, poetry
and the traditions of our race.
"There was not Sallie, Mamie
or Nellie in the list. In one an
nouncement of reception given by a
mother on the coming ont of her
daughter there was I Dorothy.
Alice and I Eleanor, Helens,
Augusta, I Elizabeth, and, thank
heaven for it ! one plain, lovely and
old fashioned Mary. There was a
Lucy, Jane, an Agnes and three or
four Ruths. It seemed to me, almost,
as if 1 were reading a social roster OF
the respectable days of forty years
ago."

and bounds, and the Jewish, as well as
the Gentle shopkeeper, is the gamer
thereby. So Jews cannot help catch
ing some part Of the prevailing good
cheer scattered abroad at Christmas
tide. No longer Ghetto-cloistered.
Jews fortunately draw not the line at
Gentle friendships. And Christmas
has practically lost it's sectarian and
peculiarly Christian character. 1t is
a national and international day OF
peace and good will, when hearts are
opened to charity, when the one-half
Of the world is somehow interested in
the other half's situation. The Christ
mas spirit is productive Of good, and
though part Of Jewry may still re-
gard the occasion as the beginning OF
their troubles and martyrdom, we
have yet cause to rejoice that matters
occurred as stated. For had we not
given Jesus, or the idea Of Jesus, to
the world, mankind would today be in
the grip of the worst and most degrad

Jews, we must object. 1t is decidedly
un-American and against the constltu-

body of citizens. Consequently, the
antipathy and sympathy Of some
Christian clergymen who are moving
heaven anG earth to have this pro-
claimed a Christian country, to intro
duce Bible-reading and distinctively
Christian creedal teachings and exer-
cises into onr public schools, are bring
ing about great harm to our republic
and endangering the peace between
different sections of Americran citi-
zens. These miserable and misguided
fanatics should be unheeded or shown
their proper place. They would be ac-
complishing worthy task if they
would inculcate the principles and the
tenets Of true religion, pure Christi
anity, in the homes Of their parishion-
ers and members, so that the children
will be raised in a wholesome moral
and spiritual atmosphere, and there
would be no need to use the public
schools for purposes for which they
were never intended.

ish Reform in 1S41, leads us to say Il
few words on that movement OF inter
est to American RefOrmers. DIR.
Marks has been the conservative fac
tor in Reform; in fact, we might say,
the ultra-conservative factor. A COM
parison between English and Ameri-
can Jewish Reform is impossible. An
glo-Jewish Reform was merely a re-
form of the service; the decorum, the
triennial law cycle, the organ and the
rejection OF the second days of holi-
days. The ritual is the Sephardic,
very little English is used. The mise
en- scene of Berkeley street is more
Orthodox than that OF the majority
of Orthodox American synagogues.
The early English Reformers were sat
isfied with the above changes, and
there they let matters rest. American
Reformers possessed more initiative
and determination, more vitality, and
consequently they entered more deeply
into the progressive spirit Of the olden
prophets and rabbis and saved Juda-
ism from disintegration and decay.
Anglo-Jewish Reform wants steriliz-
ing. We, in America, would do

which breathe an alien and anti-Jew-
ish creed. We do wrong by policy
of silence and passive resistance. We
are untrue to ourselves and unjust to
our Christian neighbors by false lib
erality which spells wilful and woful
treachery. Socially, we must remem-
ber that our children's playmates are
Christian, and for them to see others
full of joy and happiness, having a
Christmas tree and receiving pretty
gifts, is apt to produce heartache and
perhaps worse consequent evils, if
these trifes be denied them. These
little things are really non-theologic,
but mere pleasantly and joviality.
The Christmas tree, with its decora-
tions and brilliantly lit candles, is of
non-C Christian origin and bears a strik-
ing resemblance to our own Chamkah
lights, which, though poetic and full
of rich and inspiring sentiment and
lessons, are also of non-Jewish origin.
We can here afford to be liberal and

run. Welcome news is
the fact that the international Y. M.
G. A. has authorized the international
committee to do away with the non
conformity test and has advanced the
contention that belief in the divin-
ity of Jesus and orthodox Protestant
church affiiiation are not requisite for
MEMBERSHIP, in the institution. The
Y. NJ. G. AS have done noble work
and have the power to accomplish con-
siderabel for the moral and spiritual
upliftment of the rising generation.
The liberal decision is, therefore,
highly commendable, and, in a sense,
epoch-making. OF course there was
much narrow opposition to this move,
but it was Of no avail in the outcome.
We cordially appreciate this change
and although the organization is NOM
inally sectarian, we nevertheless
breathe the hope that the time will
not be for distant when this twentieth
century anomaly will disappear.

Perverted
Notions


Jesus himself would have condemned,
perpetrated against his own in his
name. We hold not brief to defend
Jesus, but we must view the situation
sanely. Matters might have been
worse, and for this we can be thank
full. Christendom is slowly admitting
the truth, and is prepared to exoner-
ate the Jew from the false and malic-
ious charges of centuries. With this
withdrawal and acknowledgment,
though differing in creed, we can be
one with our Christian brothers and
sisters indeed, especially in human
ity's service. There is thus nothing
incongruous or anti-Jewish in our
joining with them in giving express
sion to what are actually Jewish mes

praiseworthy, and the same demon
