Richard Golden. the famous creator
of "Jed Prouty." has for his vehicle
this season a play entitled "a Case of
Divorce" dramatized from a story by
Holman F. Day. The story appeared
some time ago in a New York maya
zine and as Mr.. Golden is Maine
man with full appreciation of the
possibilities Of true Maine atmosphere
in the drama he has produced the
story in play form. 1t has made good.
Mr. Golden will make the circuit of
the eastern theatres with it. The
New York Dramatic Mirror says,
That Richard Golden is one Of our
very Cleverest character comedians
was again proven at Keeney's theatre,
Brooklyn, where Mr.. Golden headed
the bill in new one act play called
"A Case of Divorce Mr.. Golden's
work is always enjoyable and as the
typical Yankee lawyer of the old
school, he has a chance to show the
qualities that have won praise for him
for many years. After giving
synopsis of the sketch the Mirror
adds: "The combination of simple,
homely humor and pathos was made
irresistibly attractive through the fine
work Of Mr.. Golden who was ably as
sisted by Minnie Milne as the Jealous
wife. Ruth Hayes as the child and
Marcus Moriarty as old Basford.'

Enforcing the Pure Food Law.

As result of recent experiments
conducted at Harrisburg Pennsylvania
by the State Dairy and Food Commits
sioner it was found that about half Of
on sale in that state contained from
two-tenths to three tenths of one per
cent. of sodium benzoate while under
the regulations of the national food and
drugs act, as well as under the rules Of
the Pennsylvania food law, they are
only allowed to use one-tenth of one
per cent. which must be stated on the
label
The matter was at once reported to
the secretary of agriculture at Wash
ington and the national authorities
will clean up all the catSup that is
adulterated or misbranded which con-
tains sodium benZoate in excess of the
amount allowed
Already two cases have been carried
to the courts and others will be entered
as rapidly as the necessary evidence
can be secured.
In Philadelphia out of thirty different
brands analysed by Prof LAVAL,
twenty We're found to contain large
quantities of dope" i'm excess of one
tenth of one per cent. and proceedings
will be started in the near future The
charges will be containing sodium
benzoate, which is injurious to health,
as well as being misbranded.
1t is pleasing to know that the
government means business in enforc-
ing of the provisions of the pure food
law, and that men who try to profit at
the expense of the public health. are to
be brought up with a round turn.

Council of Jewish Women

One of the most enthusiastic and sue
cessful meetings ever held by the Denver
Council of Jewish Women took place on
Wednesday, January 10Th, when the
council entertained the Federated
Clubs Of Denver in honor of Mrs. Sarah
Platt Decker, president Of the General
Federation of Women s Clubs and Mrs.
James d. Whitmore, president Of the
State Federation Of Women's Clubs.
The vestry rooms Of Temple Emanuel
were beautifully decorated with palms
and -chrysanthemums. The tables were
artistically decorated, the color scheme
being red and green. The guests were
welcomed by the president, Mrs. Pisko
who in a few words rendered the hospi-
tality of the Council to her sister club
members and wished that such reunions
might bring closer the bonds of frater-
nifty between clubs, and even help to
eradicate some prejudices which are only
the result of lack Of knowledge of one
another Mrs. M. Hyman read a splen-
did paper written by Mrs. Haas of Chi
cago on "Nature and the Bible Miss
Amy Salomon read an inimitable story
on settlement work. Her descriptions
brought tears to every eye and the visit
ing club members were delighted to be
permitted to look into the very heart OF
our settlement work and each one went
away with better conception Of the
real truth and the tragic story of our So
called ghetto Jews. Humor, too, was not
missing in this clever picture which
shows that Miss Salomon has much lit
erary talent.
Mrs. Whitmore and Mrs. Decker made
inspiring addresses and both were given
ovations.
The musical numbers were Of unusual
excellence. Mrs. Tessie Jarecki sang a
contralto solo, Mrs. Gale sang two songs,
and Mr.. Burton sang tenor solo. The
music was in charge of Mrs. Harlem and
Mrs. E. A. Cohen was the accompanist.
A reception was held after the meet
ing which was pronounced by all most
enjoyable affair.

National Jewish Hospital for
Consumptives

Consumptives
The following excerpt from the annual
report of Mr.. A. S. Newman, superin-
tendent of the Hebrew Relief Society Of
Cleveland, is of considerable interest as
demonstrating the great value OF the
work Of the National Jewish Hospital
for Consumptives and the wisdom of it's
management:
We have sent three married men, two
married women and four young men to
the National Jewish Hospital for Con-
sumptives at Denver, making total OF
nine people admitted during the year.
Eight Of our patients were discharged
from the hospital during the year three
single men and five married men.
The following disposition Of these eight
discharged patients has been made:
l. Carpenter, married, discharged
cured. Family joined him at our ex-
pense We also sent tools and money to
him upon his discharge. Now in good
health and earning good wages in Den
yer.
2. Married man. Discharged as i'm
proved. Started him up as huckster;
doing we'll in health and business. Fam
lily just arrived from Europe He asks
that we send them to him at Denver.
3. Returned to Cleveland. Sick again.
Burden to us and to his family.
q. In good health Supporting wife
in Denver as huckster
s. In fair health. He is huckster,
and wife as milliner self-supporting in
Denver.
6. Single, in good health; driving
laundry wagon in Denver.
7. Single, in good health; makes liv-
ing as peddler in Denver.
8. Was provided with employment as
clerk in store in Colorado town by
the Denver hospital authorities.
Our responsibility did not cease in the
above cases when the patient left the hos
pital We were obliged either to send
money for return transportation to
Cleveland, or else to aid them financially
to start on the road to self circumference
in Denver.
Because of the very kind cooperation
of the authorities of the Denver hospital,
seven Of the eight patients discharged
from the institution this year have sue
ceeded in securing foothold in Denver
and need not therefore run the danger Of
returning and Of relapsing into their for
mer bad conditions.
