One Good Reason for Being Woman.
By nature man belongs to the hunt
in the open. and woman to the fire in
doors, and just here lies one Of the
best reasons for being woman rather
than a man, because woman can get
along without a mans out-of-doors
much better than man can get along
without woman's indoors, which
proves woman of the two the better
bachelor, as being more self-contained
and self-contented. Every real man
when abroad on the hunt is always
dreaming of a hearth and a hob and
wife, whereas no real woman, II she
has the hearth and the hob, is longing
for mans hunting spear or quarry. IL
she is indeed a real woman she Is very
likely longing to give man the COM
fort of the fire, provided he will not
stay too long at stretch, but get out
long enough to give her time to brush
up his hearth and rinse his teapot
satisfactorily to Observation-Disclosures.

CARING for Insane.

How enormous in the task Of caring
for the insane is shown by the fact
that there are in all our public insti-
tutions approximately 100000 insane
persons, a number exceeding the num-
Der of students enrolled in all the
colleges and institutions in the coun-
try. In New York the expenditure
for the insane is one-fourth of the
total annual appropriations Of the
state.

JEWS OF EUROPE IN PLIGHT WORSE
 THAN BELGIANS
Ir Great Distress, In Dan ger of Determination,
 They Look to America.

What Lhe war has done to Belgium has been recorded times innumer- able. What the war has done to
 Ssrvia has been discussed over ana
 over again. But Belgium and Servia have at least a future to look for
 ward to after Nhe war. The nations will not permit them to be totally cblierated. But tha Jews. with no land they can call their own, no autonomy, no government face a situation that is as perplexing as it is tragic. The Jews of America are being appealed to by the Jews all ovlr the world to save lshe Jews of
 Europe and Palestine from extinction All they ask for is enough to tide them oyer these troublesome times. Millions of J3ws have been eXiled Vengeance has been wrecked upon I th am, not by one or two of the war
 ring nations. but by nearly all the beliger5nt powers. Their only com
 fort is that, here in America, they still have members of their race who feel for them and mourn with hhem
 It was to meet this sad situation that the central relief committee for
 the relief of Jews suffering through
 the war was organized on October 4,
 1914, with Leon Kamaiky of ths
 Jewish Daily News, as chairman, and
 Harry Fishchel as treasurer of the committee. A conference was held
 later in Temple EmanuEl. New York
 when the American Jewish relief committee was organized, and it was arranged that the information at tho disposal of both committees should be considered by body in which both committees should be represent ed. It is this joint distribution con- mittee that apportions the money and
 makes all appropriations of funds to the different centers abroad. Through this committee there has been sent to the various countries in the war zone and Palestine the sum of $1,300,- 0O0.00 The U. $. collier Vulcan car rled food stuffs, medicine. etc.. to the Jewish sufferers in Palestine, last March. at cost of $S4,627.S1.
