Another wonderful facial beautif1er
and rejuvenator that has become quite
a rage in the United States, as in
Europe, is mercolized wax. Drug
gists report a great demand. The
wax literally absorbs sallow, freck-
led. blotchy or withered complexion,
giving the fresh, vigorous, healthy
hued young skin underneath chance

JEWISH new YEAR
TO Be OBSERVED
Special Services VIII bs Held In Lo-
cal Synagogue on sunday and
Monday Of Coming
Week.
IS MOST SOLEMN SEASON
Feast Of Rosh Hashanah Ends With
the Opening Of New Calendar
Year on Next
Tuesday.

The feast of Rosh Hashanah OF
New Years day, which inaugurates
the most solemn season Of the Jewish
religious year, begins this year on
Sunday evening, September the twen-
tieth, and lasts till shutdown Monday
the twenty-first. Among orthodox
Jews who celebrate two days, the fol-
lowing day. Tuesday, is also observed.
This day opens the jewish calendar
year, FIVE thousan6 six hundred and
seventyfve (5675).
It Is to be noted that this day is
the first day of the seventh month or
the day Of the new moon Of that
month. The new moon was observed
as holy season by the Jews Of old;
the seventh month was particularly
holy month, as the seventh day was
the holy day Of the week; hence the
new moon of the seventh month was
invested with a significance OF far
holier import than the other new
moon days of the year.
An idea which in time came to be
associated with the day was that on
this day God weighed mems actions
in the scale of justice. For this rea-
son another designation Of the day
is THE Day of Judgment" The days
intervening between New Years day
and the day OF atonement are called
1.-THE Ten Days Of Penitence,' during
which the opportunity is had to re-
fleet finally on and repair the wrongs
done during the year; if the repent
ance Is sincere, forgiveness is gained
on the eliminating day OF the holy
season, 1.-THE Day OF Atonement."
The New Years day In the passing
Of the centuries has thus come to
embody the great religious ideas Of
divine justice and human RESPONSE.
bility.
Special services will be held in the
synagogue in this city on Sunday and
