Go to Jerusalem TO Die.

That Jewish immigrants have so
well adapted themselves to local con-
ditions in Jerusalem as to practically
monopolize a greater part OF such
trade as exists" is stated in a consular
report on Jerusalem. II is impossible
to give an exact estimate of the popu-
lation OF Jerusalem, and although II is
believed that IL figures at 10000,
$4,000 might perhaps be more cor
rect estimate. 1t is. roughly speak
ing, composed of 10000 Christians,
10000 Mohammedans and 10000 Jews,
many OF whom are immigrants from
Russia
1t is remarked that in spite of the
emigration of many Jews TO escape
military service there has still been
a marked increase in this section OF
the population on account of the con-
tinuous influx OF aged Jews. who come
with the intention of ending their
days in Palestine.

DANGER OF MODERATE DRINKING

Twenty years ago medical science
discovered that the white blood cor
puscles are the guardians of the body
defending 1t against disease germs. II
has been proved that even alcohol
through its narcotic effect paralyzes
these defenders and makes them pow
erless to destroy the invading foes
this even after very minute doses of
alcohol. Moderate drinkers are. 1t is
well known. prone to diseases Of the
liver. This is because alcohol inter
feres with its functional duties Physio-
logical science tells us that the liver
destroys much of the poisonous waste
matter generated in the body. When
alcohol is taken into the system the
liver, 1t seems. goes to work to elimi-
nate that first. The power Of the liver
being limited, some OF the other work
is left undone, waste matter returns
into the blood and disease is the re-
suit.

NOT EVEN AN ACQUAINTANCE

You remember how in the piping
days of peace, when something simply
had to be done to make talk, there
was hue and cry about American
girls in Berlin and the dreadful things
they did under pretense of studying
music. Here is a story of one of them
which the New York Evening Post
Saturday Magazines special war cor
respondent has sent over with the ex-
planation that it was all he could get
past the censor at this time. A Ber-

In Charlottenburg was suddenly
alarmed by shrill cries of "Policel Po-

lected about the person responsible for
the disturbance, an excited young
woman, obviously American.

as soon as a policeman appeared. Il

I would have no trouble in reading

Heavy Pasturlna CONDEMNED.

Heavy pasturing OF alfalfa is not
advised. The number of animals per
acre should be so regulated that two
or three small cuttings OF hay may
be taken from the field. This is nee
essary to insure tender green growth
for grazing. When little buds begin to
shoot at the base of the stalk the
alfalfa should be cut In very few
days fresh new growth makes its
appearance. Overpasturing, without
occasional cutting. also tends to in
jure the crowns of the plant and even
tually destroys the stand.

United Press Service.
 Wheeling, w. Va, Aug. 24.- Dry West Virginia has bettered Wheeling's morals, but it has temporarily slowed up Wheel ing's business, according to an investigation report which is on file today. Wheeling has been dry for more than month. Be- fore July when the saloons went out there was an average of 20 cases in police court dai- ly. Since then two a day has been the limit. There are today just one-third as many inmates of the county jail as formerly. The board of control laid off night and day jailers, half the work house guards were dis charged, and the council plans to cut the police force to one-half it's present size. On the other hand, merchants say the busting of the saloon has seriously hurt the business, and they predict hard times until business can
  adjust itself to changed condi- tions.
