Both Fully Nourished ON Grape-Nuts.
The value of this famous food is
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from its chemi-
cal analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these cereals
1t contains also the phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains which Nature
uses to build up brain and nerve cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because the
brain and nervous system Of the child
grows so rapidly.
Va. mother found the value Of
Grape Nuts in not only building up her
own strength but in nourishing her
baby at the same time. She writes:
after my baby came l did not re-
cover health and strength. and the doc
tor said l could not nurse the baby as
l did not have nourishment for her,
besides I was too weak.
''Ie said l might try a change Of
diet and see what that would do, and
recommended Grape-Nuts food. l
bought a pkg. and used it regularly.
A marked change came over both baby
and l.

and doing all my work and never felt
better in my life" '.-7here's a Rea-

CANADA's FOREST FIRES.
Devastation by Its Timber Conflagra-
.tions Becoming Serious.

'IiOHS DSSOIHinS 0CiIOOS
A strict fire watch, open breaks in
the timber kept free to prevent fire
from spreading, care in regard to
waste and refuse, the enforcement, I'M
der penalty, of laws against careless
mes, all now in progress in our great
reservations, enable the federal for
estry bureau to diminish or prevent
fire, as has been done in the state for
est reservations of New York and
Pennsylvania. Canada, it was esti-
mated in 1899, had 1,250,000 square
miles under timber, about five times
as large as our national reservations
as our total standing timber. Taking
the dominion as a whole, about 81
per cent. of it's area is under timber.
In British Columbia, where these
fires are in progress, IS per cent of
the area is forest, in Manitoba 40 per
cent. and the Northwest Territory
80 per cent, timber disappearing in
the north.
Canada has insufficient resources
for the protection of this vast area,
and it's forests have long been the
subject of scandal In 1890 Sir Rich
ard Cartwright, the liberal leader,
showed that seventy members, or
one half those supporting the minis
try, had timber grants and the cab
met was directly involved. Each
year has seen its exposure and every
few years it's fires. They swept over

MURDERED AND ROBBED.

Body
Highland, H., Sept. John Bern
hart, aged 80, of Pocahontas Ill, was
found dead on the Vandalia tracks
here yesterday. Relatives say that
when he left home he had $3.50.
But $3.50 was in his clothing when
the body was found. A deep cut on
the head indicated that he had been
murdered.

Another death is that of the octo-
genarian Dutch jurist, A. A. de Pinto,
vice president Of the Holland High
Court of Justice. He was master in
criminal law and was a large figure
in compiling the criminal law code
for Netherlands and India; and for
long term was chief editor of the fore
most Dutch law journal. He was
man of many sympathies, and it will
be remembered that he delivered the
address of welcome to the Zionist Con-
gress at the Hague last year. He was
not a Zionist, but he could feel for
those who were Zionists.
Among other prominent Jews who
have just crossed to the Great Beyond,
are: Prof. Otto Gras, of Prague, the
great analyst; Prof. Dr. LASER, OF
Berlin, the world famous dermatol-
ogist; Herr IsidOr Hesslein, a promi-
nent member of the city of Hamburg's
legislative assembly; and Albert Levy,
of Paris. the French scientist and di-
rector of the chemical department at
the Observatory at MOntsOuris.
1t is well to record the muster of
Judah s illustrious dead at times, to
demonstrate to the world that the Jew
has risen and become prominent in
science and the high arts, that he is
a credit to the land of his birth or
adoption, and that he aids in main-
tanning high position for that coun-
try.

doing, and though they may feel that
their expectations do not come up to
their realizations, they are neverthe-
less accomplishing some admirable
work which will doubtless spur the
constituent members on to further and
ever grander achievement. Some such
effort would be highly desirable in
our American communities. where the
literary endeavor is, for the most
part, sadly discounted. Though
seemingly unwieldy, still some union
of effort could be perfected which
would prove a power stimulus. 'Tis
true that our Chautauqua society is

public. is not receiving the whole
hearted and universal assistance it
deserves. but this, however. is to be
traced to other causes which we hope
to touch upon some time in the near
future, causes fundamental to the
weakness and instability of and the
lack of interest manifested in Ameri-
can Jewish institutional life and en-
deavor. The main cause which we
would state now, is the tendency to
localize in one spot and not spread
over the Union. American Jewish lit
erary endeavor needs urging and
pressing. We would do well to work
upon the same or some similar meth
DDS adopted by our Anglo-Jewish CO.

though his full program would be
but slowly-perhaps very slowly
realizable, still there is no reason why
the excellent methods he suggests
should not be gradually put into use
in the order of their possibility. Be-
cause everything is impossible at once
and now, there is no reason why moth
ing should be done. Our religious
schools are sadly disjointed; they
need immediate coordination and sys-
tematization. For the most part.
everything is awry. Procrastination,
until all is possible. is dangerous
course to pursue, an alarming attitude
to assume. We must attack the prop
osition and work slowly, until we ar
rive at as perfect a situation as pos
sible. To wait is to waste, to delay is
to destroy. A national committee of
prominent Jewish educators from ALL
parts of the country should come to-
gether and discuss the matter thor
oughly. and then make up their minds
upon Il concerted and unanimous
action.

Funeral
Sermons

sermons against the funeral SER
mon. We recently read that in Dres-
den the state consistory limited the
utterance at funerals Of sentiments
out of sympathy with the laws OF
church and state We firmly believe
that all funeral orations should be
avoided except in the case of dis
tinguished public individual. The OBJ
jections are many, among which we
would mention the extreme torture in
hicted upon the mourners by either
many or few words, and also the ne-
cessity, or, we would rather say, the
common occurrence of Over-stating
the merits of the deceased; and. in
cases, of lauding an individual Of bad
traits and life for fear of offending
and hurting, and for fear of being
considered in bad taste. Public fu-
neral addresses over ordinary and un-
der-ordinary men and women are
foolish in the extreme. A concerted
move should be made by ministers of
all denominations to abolish them.
Words of sympathy and coincidence

We can live down prejudice only by
showing ourselves above board, by
good citizenship and patriotic Ameri-
canism. 1t is true that we Jews are
proportionately less criminal than
our neighbors. but when once a charge
is leveled against a jew. the iniquity
is all the greater. Pueblo has just en-
joyed the unfortunate and undesir-
able distinction of having one of its
downtown Jewish storekeepers
charged with conspiracy to commit
arson. The evidence was but circ,m-

prising and, to say the least, discred-

mans religion in this way, and such
a paper can only be charged with ig-
norance, rather than malice, when 1t
acts thus. A daily paper will never
say that Methodist, Presbyterian.
or an Episcopal merchant committed
crime; but rarely, if ever, will it
forget to mention his Jewish origin
if jew happens to be an offender
against the law. We Jews do not, and
never should, defend criminal
among us. Such one should suffer
the penalty of the law as well as the
other man, since he is no different
from his fellow citizen But we must
protest most emphatically against the
action of such papers as the Pueblo
"Chieftain" in particularly stating
the mans religion. If Jew does
wrong, he should be treated the same
as any other wrong-doer; if innocent.
he should be acquitted; if guilty, he
