Joseph Of Aramathea in Eng
land

London Is interested in an attempt to
revive in corporate form at BALKAN the
ancient British Hebrew church first form
ed, 1t Is alleged. at Glastonbury among
the Hebrew exiles by Joseph of Arima-
thea.
Baptism Is administered by means of
immersion on profession OF belief, and the
Passover supper Is observed annually on
the 14th day of the Jewish month of
Nissan, the lernents used being pure grape
Juice and pierced unleavened cakes For
officers plurality OF elders are elected,
one of the present holders of the office
being cousin of the late Cardinal Wise
man. He also holds the office of Angel,
or messenger, post corresponding to that
of preacher.
Processing in common with other
Protestant churches, that the Bible only
is the sole rule of faith and practice, the
British Israel Ecolesia, as they designate
themselves. are anti-Trinitarian in the
ology
Although not able to trace historic con-
tinuity. the present leaders affirm a spir-
itual descent from the church founded at
Glastonbury by Joseph of Arimatnea In
A. d. IS, the year of the first persecution.
Legend and tradition affirm, they say
that the ancient British people were de-
scended from a band of Hebrew exiles
who reached ireland under the leadership
Of the prophet jeremiah and Tephi, the
daughter of Zedekiah, the last King Of
Judah. Through her marriage with Here

tisticaI bureau distributed in all Ger
heads of families, representing the
better classes of wage-earners." These
heads of families agreed to keep for
one year a detailed record of income
and expenditure. Human nature being
what it is. a good many of these ac-
count books were not filled out. but q
goodly number were. From the account
books returned 1t appears that the aver
age income per family was, in American
money, s521.70 per year, and the aver
age expenditure $531.69, leaving an an
nual deficit of $999 The deficit, 1t
is pointed out, occurred mostly In the
families of larger earning capacities.
The average expenditure per person
was made up as follows: Food, $52.21;
clothing, $1449; rent, $2059; heat and
light, 1856; miscellaneous, $22.6S.
From the returns from Nuremberg IL
develops that more than one-half Of
the entire income of 46 families went
for food and drink. 1t Is stated that for
refreshment bought in public houses,
most of 1t beer, almost 10 per cent of
the entire income WAS spent Analyzing
these Nuremberg figures further, 81
per cent of the total income went for
insurance, including the imperial sick,
accident and old age insurance dues.
For newspapers, contributions to poltt-
ica1 parties. union dues etc, the expen-
ditures amounted to 36 per cent Of
the total. Apparently practically MOTH
ing was left for saving, outside of in
surance.

Maintaining Youth

How often one hears the remark from
the cynical or incredulous woman that
the appearance of age cannot be pre-
vented by attention to the complexion, the
throat, the care of the hair or the use
of the many little helps that science and
study have brought to light.
These maintain that to attempt 1t is all
waste of time. that as age comes on,
wrinkles, double chin and the various
other indications of years, are bound to
appear.
One OF the best refutations of this is the
appearance of actors and actresses 1t is
doubtful If any class of people lead lives
SO calculated to damage good looks. 1t
Is certain no class as whole keep their
charm and youthful appearance so we'll
or so long. And they are noted for the
care they give their skins. their body.
everything, in fact, that helps them to
keep their youth and beauty.
1t was the success of actresses in re-
tanning their good looks and the known
care they took Of their complexion that

No Poets Need Apply

The poets baggage wasn't great
Two trunks and three valises:
But very deadly was their freight
OF many-metred pieces.
And as the customs searchers scanned
His sheafs of verses thin,
They said, This stuff is contraband;
We don't let poets in
On digging deeper in his trunks
Their Indignation grew;
Instead of necessary plunks
More poems were in view;
Pentametres were neatly piled
Where garments should have been.
Inspectors growed, intensely riled,
I'VE don't let poets in
They looked upon Swelling ode
With optics full of fright;
1t, seemed they feared it would explode
AS If 'twere dynamite.
Assorted epics met the eye,
But not one sign of tin"
NO means of living?' was the cry;
I'VE don't let poets in.'
o inartistic Uncle Sam!
Why treat a bardlet so
And bar the lofty dithvamb
Unless it's dressed with dough?
You value sonnets less than SOUS;
Shakespeare's not Shontss kin;
Moneyless Millions, hear the news:
