offered to appoint him his private
physician. But Maimonides refused
this honor. He remained faithful to
Saladin, king of Egypt, in whose do
main he found refuge. The king ana
Alfadhel, the grand vizier Of Saladin,
admired the genius and appreciated
the faithfulness of Maimonides, and
appointed him court physician and be-
slowed upon him many honors.
While in Cairo practicing as ply
scian his labors were very arduOus,
for besides his regular practice he was
obliged to be at the kings palace ev-
cry morning, looking after the health
of the king and the royal household,
which were numerous, considering the
number of inmates in the harem AMI
their progeny. He also had many let
tels to answer daily on medical and
other subjects, still he found time to
take active interest in communal af-
fairs, and at the same time produced
many scientific, philosophical and
theological books.
AS to his literary career can men,
ton but few of his creations in the
brief space of time allotted to me.
While on his twelve years of travel
ing from Cordova to FeZ he compiled
IA great work known as Commentary
on the Mishna and the Talmud, a work
used to this day as book of eXplana
tiOn by talmudic scholars. He also
at the same time wrote IA treatise on
the lunar calendar which involved a
thorough knowledge of mathematics
and astronomy. Even at this early
age of twenty-five he was regarded as
profound scholar by those who
knew him. In 1172 he completed
book called Pcsach Tikvah or The OPP
ening of Hope. This book was writ
ten in response to letter written to
him by Rabbi Jacob Al-Fayumi OF
Yemen on the critical condition OF
the religion of the Yemen Jews. Some
of these Jews were forced into apos-
tasy. others were led to believe that
certain passages i'm the Bible alluded
to the mission of Mohamed. Among
some of the things that he states in
this book is this comforting statement:
1T must be borne in mind that the
attempts made i'm the past to do away
with the Jewish religion have invar-
iably failed. for religious prosecutions
come spasmodically and are of but
short Duration He urges the Jews
to remain faithful to the religion Of
their fathers and to impress upon their
children the greatness of the Jewish
religion and its ethics.
Later he wrote the book Sefer Ha-
mitzvos or the Book of the 613 Com
mandments. 800 being prohibitory
and 24S mandatory The number 365
is equal to the 365 days in the year
and the 24S corresponds to the 24S
bones in the human body.
The greatest work he produced. to
my mind. is the one called more Ne
vuchim.' or "The Guide for the Per-
picked In it we find that Maimon-
ides was true reformcr not only of
his day, but were he with us here
today he would be the most radical
among us. You have to but read his
definition on 'Zelem Elohim," that
man was created in the image of God.
wherein the attempts to show that
Ielem or Image does not mean the
corporeal image. but the spiritual part
IN man is created in the image of God,
and also where he says that Ritualistc
law is incumbent on a Jew only in so
far as it is sane and the tradition

NAMING the Baby.

The naming of q baby is considered
important even among people whom
we are apt to regard as uncivilized.
And, curi0usly enough. these very
folk contrive to avoid the arguments
that so often ensue when father and
mother disagree over whether the lit
tie stranger shall be called Jack or
Marmaduke. Priscilla or Jane.
The MahOmetan father and mother
each write the choice of q name on q
slip Of paper and place both in the
Koran. Whichever slip is drawn first
Is the name given to the child.
A pretty Egyptian custom Is to light
three candles, naming each after a
god or some exalted parsonage. The
child is called after the candle which
burns longest.
Hindu mothers name their children.
psterfamilias not having a word to
say in the matter The naming cere-
mony usually takes place when the
baby is about IL days old, and a flower
name is usually chosen.
Chinese girls are simply numbered
one, two. or three. until they reach
years of discretion, when they are al.
lowed to choose q name for them.

temporary name until they are 20.

Facts Regarding Dyspepsia.
Although Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are 90 prevalent, most people do not

should not eat anything they desire-if
they will only chew it carefully and
thoroughly. Many actually starve them
selves into sickness through fear Of eat
ing every good looking, good-smelling
and good.tasting food, because it does
not agree with them.
Dieting cannot cure Dyspepsis. 1--we
refuse every article Of food that disagrees
with %. before long We have nothing
left, and find ourselves chronic dyspep-
tics.
We can cure Dyspepsia. We are 90
confident Of this fact that weguarantse .

free Of ell cost to everyone who will use
it, who lie not perfectly satisfied with the
results which it produces. We exact no
promises, and put no one under obliga-
ton whatever. Surely, nothing could
be fairer. We are located right here in
Columbus, and our reputation should be
sufficient assurance of our offer.
