Tree Talk.
To the Editor of The Star:


"Citizens are beginning to look on a
city tree as something worth having. 1t
is not so easy TO grow a tree in Wash
ington as when the capital was a village
with unpaved and scantily built-up
streets. Therefore. the loss of tree is
a more serious matter. Again, the strict
Iy utilitarian enemies of the city tree are
more numerous as the city has become
more compact, and thus greater vigilance
is demanded of the trees friends. Star
Editorial
True True most emphatically. True
as gospel. And. that being so, why is
there not more interest in preserving the
beautiful grove at the corner of Column
bia road and 14th street northwest? That
section needs an open breathing spot.
When this can be secured and a delight
full clump of fine trees saved at the same
time a double good results.

THE JEWISH BADGE.
Distinguishing Mark That Was Re-
CURED by European Countries.

Distinguishing Mark That Was Re.
CURED by European Countries.
To the Jews Of today it is fairly well
known that their ancestors in Europe
We're forced to put up with a great
deal of humiliation. One of the most
insulting methods was to require the
wearing of badge which would
stamp the wearer as an "infidel Jew"
The wearing of badge was made q
general order throughout Christendom
IN the year 1915, but it must have been
required in isolated places before that
date.
The most usual form of badge was
that of a ring of distinctive color at
tached to the upper garment. Any one
of French-Jewish ancestry will know
that his forbears wore ring of this
sort, varying in size and in color-now
red, now yellow and white, according
to the whims of municipalities and
monarchs. 1t was generally worn upon
the breast, and at one time it was or
dered to be worn likewise upon the
back, so that a, Jew might be known
fore and aft" When Jew was
found without the badge, he was fined.
Evidence Of the wearing Of this badge
is found as late as 1892 in France. The
;forefathers Of the Spanish Jews car
ried yellow and red badge-the men
on their breasts, the women on their
foreheads. The wearing of the badge
was not so prevalent in Italy, but the
municipalities almost all required
It. The badge was known as the
90 from its shape, resemb bling prob
ably the ring in France English Jews
should feel the distinction of having
had, a peculiar. sort Of, badge forced
upon their ancestors. It was first In
the form Of a band, first white and
then yellow, and later Jews were re-
CURED to wear g. badge with the shape
of the tables Of the law. In Germany
yellow badges were worn, but here the
hat was the chief means OF identified
3ltion IN Austria and Ia Poland there
are few traces of the badge, but in
Hungary Jews wore a badge on their
left breast 1t is interesting to know
that in Crete at the present day some
OF. the houses Of Jews are marked with
the "o."-American Hebrew.

SICK ON MONDAY MORNINGS.

Peculiar Disease IN Horses Caused BY
Standing Idle hi Their stalls.
When horse is stricken with lynRs
phangitis. which commonly ID known
as Monday morning disease" seeing
that it comes after a rest such as that
Of the the Sabbath, one hind leg com
I mences to swell ID the groin and IN
being handled the animal evfnces great

sweating and blowing.
The pain is confined to the lynn
phatic vessels, which are present as .
chain on the inner side Of the leg. The
cause OF the diseaae IN every inatancas
Ia a lack OF exercise when the horse Ia.
fed too much rich food, the nutrimentss
OF which he cannot utilize In the re-
pair of waste tissues, work, sweat and
heat production.
The disease may be absolutely pre-
vented by always remembering to cut
down the grain ration when there Is
no work for the horse to do and at
the same time giving him some exers
else to halter or In the yard. The use
of bran is helpful in tending to prevent
such diseases as lymphangitis ana
azoturian, but it Is dangerous II given
as SO often advised by thoughtless or
inexperienced persons.
They advise give it as bran mash
on Saturday night and apparently are
not aware that a sloppy bran mash or
any kind of bran mash given to q
horse that has not been accustomed
to taking such food will be very likely
to cause bad attack OF the collie.
On the other hand, where dry bran
is fed daily or is mixed with oats and
dampened at feeding time mash may
safely be given at any time, but often
is unnecessary, as the bowels are kept
active without it. Simply stop feeding
grain of any sort where there is no
work to be done and substitute hay, al
lowing carrots, grass or mashes, II the
animal has been accustomed to such
foods.
A teaspeonful of saltpeter mixed in
the drinking water at such times, but
not more often than once a day for
two or three days, will also help to
keep the kidneys active and so lessen
the likelihood Of disease.
Where mash is fed to a prepared
horse on Saturday night 1t may con-
tain tablespoonful of saltpeter if he
is heavy and fat.
