tons than the revised Pe-ru-na. On
the other hand, the revised Pe-ru-na is
better remedy for some conditions
than ka-tar-no. They are both in
tended as catarrh remedies. They have
both done great work in relieving
catarrh, chronic and acute. Many
hundreds of cases of chronic catarrh
have recovered while taking Ka-tar-no
and the same Is true of the revised
Pe-ru-na during the last six years
since it's revision.
There Is difference, owever, In
the two remedies. Whenever catarrh
is associated with constipation then
the revised Pe-ru-na is the best. In
deed, this is exactly why the revision
was made, to meet such cases. But
where no laxative is needed, where
the bowels are regular or inclined to
be loose, then the old Pe-ru-na (Ka-
tar-no) Is the better remedy.
The revised Pe-ru-na is for sale at
all drug stores. Those wishing to OBJ
tain ka-tar-no, address The Ka-tar-no

The Jewish New Year. or Rosh

holidays, 1t is reckoned from evening
to evening and It's initial service will
be held on the evening Of the elev-

between The solar and lunar systems
Of calendation, it may appear to oc-
cur irregularly, it is definitely set in
the Jewish calendar as the first day
Of the seventh month, Tishri.

termed the DAY of the Memorial Of

The nature of the festival Is what
Its name signifies, that Is, marking
Of the passage of time and monition
Of the uncertain tenure of human life.
Ii does not commemorate any his
torcal incident Nor does it make Its
appeal to the radical consciousness OF
the Jews. Its appeal is entirely to the
present and to the individual con-
science 1t is thoroughly universal
istc and can be responded to by all
religionists of whatever creed.
The day is observed seriously and
soiemnly 1t emphasizes the sense o,
divine guidance, and at the same
time of human responsibility. The
blowing of the trumpet, the shofar
or rams horn, is the peculiar service
Of the day. 1t is the bugle call OF the
spirit, arousing the conscience in the
contemplation of misspent hours, and
awakening the impulse to make the
new, coming year more fruitful OF
noble and unselfish action.
The observance of the day is com
plete alike By both the reform and
orthodox wings Of the synagog. OF
fees and business houses are closed
and the house of prayer is thronged
