Cleanliness IN Persia.

The Persian spends hours in the
"Hammams" turkish baths), which
are very handsome buildings, decorat.
ed with tiles and embellished with nu.
merous exhortations as to the value of
cleanliness. The smallest village in
Persia has its "Hammam," and bath
ing is almost a religious function.
When the hot room and massage are
finished. the Persian is shaved. and
the whole top of his head is also
shaved, though the hair over the ears
is left and allowed to grow down to
the neck. This strange couture has a
religious meaning, for the two locks
on each side of the head are meant for
the Angel of Death to hold when he
carries the believer to Paradise.
All Persians dye the hair with a
mixture of henna and vesmeh, and the
hair dyeing is the last part of the
bath; but tea and smoking are in.
dulged in afterward. and the frequent.
ers of the "Hammams" find them very
pleasant lounging places.

CANDY AND SWEET POTATOES
The Jewish Girl Of New York Notes
Difference In Buying Them on
the Sabbath.

The young women Librarians OF the
Brownsville branch of the Brooklyn
public library find the Jewish children
of the neighborhood an interesting
study. The children regard the IL
brary with reverence and in the
months when there is no school spend
most Of the day there. They can't do
too much for the librarians and they
run errands cheerfully.
The young women prepare their
own luncheon in the library building
and frequently send some Of the chill
dren out for additions to the menu.
One young woman was sending a lit
tie girl out on Saturday to buy some
sweet potatoes, when 1t occurred to
her that she might be fringing on the
child's observance Of the sabbath. So
she said
win your mother allow you to buy
things on the Sabbath?"
Sure she WILL" said the girl.

little girl

the second.

In what the difference consisted she
would not explain.
Another time the librarians sent a
girl out for a watermelon. They did
not realize the magnitude Of the task
until they were startled by a commo-
ton in the street. They went to see
what 1t was about and found their lit
tie messenger busily engaged in roll
ing along the sidewalk a melon almost
as big as herself. 1t seemed as If all
the children in the neighborhood had
gathered to watch the exploit and
to cheer the performer.

Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing

You cannot be oV r-careful in the selec-
tion Of medicine for children. Only the
very gentltst bowel medicine should
ever be given, except in emergency cases.
Ordinary pills, cathartics and purgatiyes
are apt to do more harm than good.

such absolute faith in the virtues OF this
remedy that we sell it on our guarantee of
money back in every instance where It
fails to give entire satisfaction, and we
urge all in need of such medicine to try it
ct our risk.
Rexall 0rderlies contain an entirely

Dear Aunt Laurie:
AM going to form some good reso-

like to keep them," but try very
hard to keep them. I know that is
more easily said than done sometimes,
and especially now when we all feel
good and like making and keeping good
resolutions. 1 am going to resolve to
bring my studies up to a mark that
will make my people and teacher proud
of me; 1 am going to study my music
hard, too, and try to feel, when the end
of 1909 comes, that I have done some
thing worth while.
l read The Herald Junior and enjoy
it very much, and my cousin thinks it
is so nice they are going to stop taking
the paper they do and take The Herald.
1 like it because it did so much good
for the poor children Christmas, and is
always getting up something nice for
somebody.

in my hair. Papa was sitting reading,
and he said, There, that is something

a girls hair, and all it wants is a
knot of color in it. not a great lot
