THE WISH OUTLOOK

of the children. 1t is very unusual
for babies to be given anything eX-
cept their natural food, and as IL re-
suit many children are saved that are
weak at birth and would otherwise
die. AS result of the close watch
kept of children, and the immediate
call of a physician, there are COM
paratively few deaths from diph-
liberia. while there is no difference i'll
the number of deaths from scarlet
fever, where it is of no great impor-
tance whether physician is called
day earlier or later.
The effect of good care upon the
chances of life among children in
their nearly years is very cOnclusively
shown by IA table giving the percent
age of deaths during the first year of
life of the legitimate and the natural
children of Roman Catholic, PrOtes-
tant, and Jewish parentage. Among
Roman Catholics and PrOtestants
about 10 per cent. of the children die
during their first year, and about ii
per cent. among the Jews, while with
the unfortunate, neglected and I'M
carcd-for natural children about 30
per cent die among both Roman
Catholics and PrOtestants, kss than
double the number in the first in
stance. and among the Jews about 33
per cent. or D per cent. more than
double the number in the first in
stance, although less than the num-
her omOuu the ot her creeIS
The characteristic precaution with
regard to health is also shown in
their abstinence from the Use of
alcohol. The results here are far
reaching. and are noticeable. not only
in the comparatively few deaths oc-
curing as direct result of alcohol
ism, but also in the freedom of the
Jews from such diseases as infam-
nation of the lungs, etc, that may re-
suit indirectly from cxcesses of this
kind. and still further in the results
among the unprotected members of
the community, who. to a correspond
ing degree. escape the effects of neg
icct. and the inherited tendencies to-
ward the deep-seated diseases that
children of incbriates suffer from.
Other data showing differences in
the number of deaths from various
causes among adults in the COM
munity where the observations were
extended through several years.
bring out the fact that there were 252
suicides among Roman Catholics,
seven among the Protestants, and
twenty-thrce among the Jews on ac-
count of domestic infelicity; from the
morphine habit and nervous affec-
tiOns, fifty-three deaths among Ro-
man Catholics, three among Protes-
tants and twelve among Jews.
The writer finds that in his locality
at least, the death rate among the
Jews is noticeably lower than among
peoples of other creeds. He does not
attribute this to any inherent race
characteristic, but to more careful
living. and he believes that his OBJ
servations give ground for the hope
that the lease of human life may be
prolonged for all.

political ZiOnism; and if such indeed
be not his purpose, his proposal will
be utilized by political Zionists, and
invoked in order to further their
Utopian and impracticable schemes.
But Prof. Abrahams is Jewish ideal
list of no mean order, in whom is
stored up il unique variety of devel-
Oped Jewish knowledge, and what he
has to say has not infrequently much
to give it ballast. Yet, in the matter
of university for Jerusalem he has
Overstepped little; and though sew
eral of his reasons are most cOmmen-
dable, the project, however, is scarcely
reliable. Opinions of several schOl-
ars who have been approached on the
matter are muchly divided. others are
completely non-commital. So far,
none has out and out condemned the
contemplated move. But not only is
it impracticable. it is althogether un-
desirable. What would be gained if
the idea were cOnsllmmated. if II Jew
ish university were built in Jerlsa-
lem? Absolutely nothing. The dis
tance would be too great, to say moth
ing of the expense of travel. 1t would.
furthermore. retard the evolution OF
Judaism. 1t would be an unrcalistic
resort for unworldly dreamers. And
would world-famOris Jews. men of
learning and heads of Jewish seminar
les be prepared to congregate mt Jer-
,isalem and segrcgate their knowledge,
confne it to II tract of country which
over two thousand years ago was the
scenes of Judah's triumph? We
doubt it. and doubt it very much. For
these men are practical. and not mere
sentimental theorists. And what a
fine opening wedge for the political
ZiOnstS such scheme would be. And
further. what an opportunity for So
cret societies i'm our modern universe
ties To bar our co-rcligionists from
membership. 1t is allowed that nom
Jewish semitic students would gain
admittance But what difference
would that make i'm the net result {?
None whatsoever. The time will
never be ripe for such action. Jewish
learning should center everywhere,
Jewish atmosphere should persist in
every cline. The whole thing is Il
dream. There is nothing tangible in
it. no substance to it. 1t is impossible.
it is undesirable in every way. The
idea is doomed to perish, the great
leaders of Jewry cannot subscribe to
it. A Palestinian Judaism would put
back the hands of the clock of pro-
greSs.

TRIBES ON WAR PATH.

A notable pow-wow of nine Indian
tribes took place at the home of
Mrs. L. R. Barnett on Tuesday af-
ternoon last. Mrs. Barnett and Mrs.
C. E. Tisdale being the 'big medi-
cine men, who were delegated to
mix the war path dope, the latter
consisting of Indian whist, played by
four members each of nine tribes.
After the war paint was put on
and the feathers adjusted, the nine
tribes readily took to the war path
and remained on it during the after
noon, the honor of securing the
most scalps. represented by gun
wads strung on ribbon, finally going
to the Crees, represented by Mrs.
Chas. McCrossen, Mrs. Ed. Haskell,
Mrs. John Kennedy and Mrs. How
ard Gleason. Each was presented by
the prir cipal medicine men with a
handsome volume of "HiaWatha.
Each guest was met at the door by
a little Indian maid with greetings
of How, how" and conducted to
the medicine wigwam. The decora-
tons surrounding the war circle
were composed of autumn leaves and
wintergreen and the candies were
artificial acorns and Indian corn.
The guests were entertained by
scalp dance music played by Mrs.
Tisdale. Indian pic tlres and emblems
were also present in profusion. and
each guest was presented with an
Indian place card memento, hand
painted by Mrs. Barnett. Fine re-
freshments were also served. AL
together this council of the scalp-ta-
kers was one of the most successful
affairs possible.

A NOVEL DISPLAY

Patrons entering the Postoffice
Confectionery, conducted by Harry
Burk, a few days ago. stopped in
wonder before the novel window
display which was spread out to their
view In the window, seated IN a
miniature rocking chair, was
large doll of the handsomest type,
rocking contentedly to and fro as
though propelled by the impulses of
human organism. A little further
investigation and questioning of Mr..
Burk, however, disclosed that the
chair and doll were propelled by a
small engine, run by alcohol power.
The doll may still be seen in the
window, although the original nov
ell display has been changed. Also
displayed in the window are many
cut glass and fancy goods treasures.
The large doll, valued at $25, will
be given away by Mr.. Burk on Dec.
"A. Starting from Nov. 20, with ev-
cry 25-cent purchase will be given a
chance on the doll, this applying to
the purchase of any goods but CT
gars and tobacco. On Dec. "a at 9 o.
m. number will be drawn from
amongst those presented and the
winner of this marvellous doll an
nounced. Suffice it is to say that
there will be a rush to get the num-
bers when the drawing opens.
The Postoffice Confectionery has
lately placed on sale number of
hand-painted calendars furnished by
the Parker Art Company of New
York. These calendars eclipse any
thing previously seen in Glendive,
and are genuine works of art at
low price.

SCANDINAVIAN LUTHERAN CHURCH, GLENDIyE, MONT.

perhaps the most successful one OF the
evening, was solo by Mrs. Thorpe.
The Ladies' Aid cf the church de-
serves no small part of the credit
for the erection of the new church,
as the efforts of the ladies paid for
the six lots on which the building
stands, the furniture and the fur
mace of the church.
The local brethren may well be
proud of their new church for it is
the first Scandinavian Lutheran edi-
fee to be erected in eastern Mont
ana. Architecturally the building
has no superior in the city, and will
probably stand for generations as a
fitting monument to the tireless eff
forts of its Jealous planners. It's To-
cation on the south side opposite the
Catholic church, could hardly be i'm
proved upon. The church will pro-
badly seat 250, and its spacious in
terror will be ample for all needs.
The basement, when completed, will
be very valuable addition.
Under the leadership of Rev.
Thorpe. there is no reason why the
Scandinavian Lutheran church OF
Glendive can not soon take It's place
among the most prominent Scandi-
navian churches of the entire north
west. If tireless energy ard conscien-
tious work are to be factors this
prediction will be fulfilled.
The accompanying cut is very good
representation of this handsome new
addition to the progressive churches OF
Glondive.

the Finest Buildings in the Gate City.

Throughout, the dedicatory exercis

qualification to the local congregation.
Visitors were here for the occasion
from Hodges, Miles City and Forsyth.
Although not all of the furniture had
arrived, the building was tastily ar
ranged and presented most handsome
appeara2 &c. Work on the new church
was started about year ago. The
cornerstone was laid on June 7 last.

EXPECT GUSHER In POLK.
Portland Oil Company Highly Elated
With Prospects on White
aker Farm.

Members Of the Polk County Oil
company, which is composed of Port
land business men, are expecting a
great strike on their property within
a few weeks and predict that a new
commercial field will shortly be opened
in the vicinity Of Portland that will
take position among the leading
industries Of the state, says last nights
Portland Journal. Already one we'll
has been opened, but through an acci-
dent had to be abandoned and a new
one started.
This well is now down to depth of
between 100 and 200 feet. The old well
went to depth of $50 feet when oil was
found. Natural gas was also found
and it is expected that both oil and gas
will be found in commercial quan-
titles.
In speaking Of their property, which
contains 800 acres and lies directly on
the Southern Pacific railroad about
three and one half miles from Dallas,
representatives Of the company said
today.
Some time ago in order to ascertain
whether or not petroleum oil could be
discovered on the lands in question,
considerable drilling was done. Oil,
also gas, was found, and reasonable
indications that coal might also be
found on these lands. At certain
depths kaolin is found and from tests
made the finest kind Of pottery ware
can be manufactured from it, also a
high grade of pressed brick. There
fore we now know that the only pros
pective feature is as to the quantities
of oil and gas we shall find.
ENGINEERS and workmen are now
busily engaged in drilling, and the
work will be prosecuted as speedily as
practical methods permit, and until
the results we confidently anticipate
are realized"
