The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-06-23
INCREASED SUFFERING OF
THE JEWS OF SPAIN

The massacres of the Jews of
Spain had by no means exhausted
the popular and clerical wrath
against them. The Cortes of Mad
rid and of Valladolid in 1905 gave
their attention mainly to complaints
against them. The king, Henry III
of CASTLE had to yield to the clamor
of the compliments, restricted the
commercial relations between Jews
and Christians, reduced the claims
held by the former against the lat
ter by one half, and prohibited them
from practicing usury, from attir-
ing themselves in the same manner
as the Christians, and strenuously
insisted on their wearing the Jew
badge.
Other acts Of his, however, would
show that he was not altogether I'm
friendly to the Jews of his king
dom. Fernan Martinez, the prime
instigator of the bloody massacres
of 1891, was severely punished by him
as warning to similarly minded.
He allowed Jews to acquire land,
removed all restrictions from his
Jewish taxfarmers and financial
agents, and shortly before his death
he imposed a fine of $4,000 doub-
looms on the city of Cordova be-
cause of riot that had broken out
there in 1906, during which the Jews
had been plundered, and many Of
them murdered. His court physi-
clans were Jews, Moses ben Zarzal
and Meir Alguades, the latter being
also the chief rabbi of the Jews of
CASTLE.
Henry III died in 1906, only u
years Of age, and new period of
suffering began for the Jews. In
his testament the king had appoint
ed Paul de Burgos, the apostate Jew,
who could not do enough to annoy
and embitter his former coreligion-
lists, as executor of his will, and
guardian Of his son John, who was
barely two years old; while the
queen-mother, a bigoted, 1ight-heart-
ed young woman, and the kings
brother Fernando, were the regents.

By DR.. S. N. Deinard

Paul de Burgos soon made his per-
nicious influence felt when in 14O8
an edict was issued in the name of
the infant king, in which the anti
Jewish statutes of the code of AL
fonso the Wise were resurrected.
Jews were once more to be deprived
Of, and excluded from all offices in
the state or the municipalities. The
Jew accepting such an office, and
the Christian helping him to it, or
comforting it upon him, were to be
punished, one with the confscation
of his goods, the other with fine.
To make sure of the enforcement of
this law, it was provided that one
third of the confiscated property
should be given to the informer of
such case, and one third to the
court that would find the accused
guilty.
1t is probable that Paul was the
instigator of false accusations that
resulted in the most cruel tortures
and death of the chief-rabbi Meir
Alguades and a number of Jews of
Segovia. The accusations were that
the Jews had desecrated a holy
wafer, that Meir Alguades had
poisoned the king whose physician
he had been, and that some Jews
had bribed the cook of the bishop of
Segovia to poison his master.
These evils were soon surpassed
by those that resulted from the &C
tivity of the most venomous perse-
cutor the Jews of Spain had yet en-
countered, the Monk Vincent Ferrer
He was fanatic in the truest sense
of the word, sincere, and terribly in
earnest, for whom nothing in this
world was worth while except sal
walton through the church, and who
did not hesitate to use the most in
fernal means to force this salvation
upon all human beings. The French
historian Basnage supposes that he
was of Jewish descent. He entered
the order of the Dominicans,
and soon became famous for
his pulpit eloquence. For while
he held the high position of con-
fessor and private chaplain to the
antelope Benedict XIII at Avignon.

St. Paul and Minneapolis-June %, 1916.

But renouncing all honors and Of
fees, he became wandering preach
err, travelling through Spain, France,
Italy and Germany, reviving the
idea of the castigation of the flesh
by means of hagellation. In his
wanderings he had regular retinue
of 800 Flagellants, and SO great was
his popularity and sanity repute
with the masses, that he was at times
followed by thousands of people who
would leave their occupations for the
privilege of hearing him preach or
being cured by him.
Jews and heretics became the vic
Tins of his fanatic ZEAL Against
them, and especially the new-Chris-
tians, or Marranos, of Spain, whose
numbers had greatly increased dur
ing the massacres of 1891, he hurled
his most vehement invectives. He
became a favorite at the Spanish
Courts, since his influence with the
people could be used to good adj
vantage by royalty in those times
of turbulence and strife. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that he OBJ
tanned the permission of the Cas-
titan court not only to preach in the
synagogues and mosques, but to
force Jews and Mohammedans to lis
ten to his sermons. With an uplifted
cross in one arm and the Torah in
the other, and escorted by fagellants
and soldiers, he would appear in the
synagogues, and with laundering
voice call upon the Jews to embrace
the faith of the church. Not salts
fled with that, he would dedicate the
synagogues as church, as he did in
Valencia, Santiago, Alcaniz and To-
ledo, where the large synagogue was
transformed by him into the church
of Santa Maria la Blanca.
Yet all these misdeeds did not
satiate his fanatic zeal. The Jews
must be forced into conversion by
imposing upon them the most cruel
restrictions and most degrading hui
mutations. They would thus be
made to see the blessings of Chris
tianfty. And so, shortly after his
appearance at the Castilian court, a
new edict was issued by the regents
in the name of the child-king, Juan
II, containing "a articles, calculated
to accomplish that result. The Jews
were ordered to live by themselves,
in enclosed Juderias, and were to be-
take themselves, within eight days

DON'T WORRY THE. PATIENT"
Some Reasons Why Visiting the
Sick Calls to Track and
Judgment.

Visiting the sick is undoubtedly an
art. To know just when to go. how
long to stay and just what to say
while there requires tact and judg-
ment as well as common sense.
The first thing to consider in visit
ing sick friend is the selection of a
seasonable hour. There is Of neces-
sity more or less routine about the
life within a sick room, and the visit
should be timed with reference to
that and not merely at the callers
convenience.
During the middle OF the day most
invalids are at their best and better
able to enjoy seeing their friends
than at other times. As rule Meth
er early morning nor late evening is
favorable for visitors, as few invalids
care to receive their friends until
after their rooms have been freshly
aired and set in order for the day, the
daily bath and toilet completed and
the doctors visit over.
All this takes time, and not only
does ii absorb the entire attention OF
both nurse and patient, but frequent
" the latter Is somewhat tired, and a
short rest is advisable.
OF course, under special circum-
stances an evening call is allowable,
but it is never wise to choose this
time unless one has permission from
the nurse or doctor The patient is
generally so tired by nightfall that in
order TO secure good nights rest he
or she should be kept from any undue
excitement after, the evening meal.
As to the length OF ones stay, some
people unfortunately never seem to
know when to go, but stay on and on
interminably. As rule from fifteen
to twenty minutes is a sufficiently
long period for the visit to last; it Is
far better to 60 while the welcome
lasts than to outstay that limit. II
the visitor is wise she will not allow
herself to be influenced by entreaties
to remain longer or to prolong her
call by the invalid's protestations tina.

But more important than all else

ADVANCE SLOW AND ORDERLY
Developments in the Electrical Field
and the Prospects Of
the Future

DR.. Charles P. Steinmetz of Phila-
delphia, the man who, with the excep-
ton OF Thomas A. Edison, is con-
sidered more familiar with the pos
sibilities OF electricity than any other
man in the world. looks for no start
ling development or discoveries in
the electrical field in the near flu
ture.
1T must be remembered that cleo
trical development is slow and order
ly,' he said, when asked whether there
were any inventions now under way
that might have a revolutionizing ef-
feet upon commerce, home life or the
industrial world.
Il know OF no such inventions or
project at present." he continued, NOR
do | contemplate any. Understand,
| do not mean that electricity has
reached the limit OF its development,
not in any sense Of the word. What
] mean is that neither you nor / can
look into the future and see what is
to come,
Despite the general opinion of the
laymen, there is practically nothing
new in the electrical field. Improve
ments and developments along these
lines are the work OF years. Although
something may appear suddenly on
the market that is OF great commercial
value, il is merely an improvement
OF some principle that has already
been in operation. At present there
are experiments being conducted in
many laboratories throughout the
country, but as yet it is impossible
to foretell their commercial value.
Virtually all these experiments, how
ever, are being conducted not with
the hope Of discovering some new
possibility of electricity. but with the
hope of improving some already es-
tablished line, such as lighting and
the transmission of power"
There are many who advertise its
cure-all properties" he said, "but per-
sons of this character are generally
quacks.' In fact, it is upon this ac-
count that reputable physicians make
little use OF it. In the treatment OF
diseases for which II has been pre-
scribcd, | doubt that it can accom-
plish any more than the use of drugs"

DO YOU ONE-STEP? GIRL
SOLVES A FOOT PROBLEM

Dancing is hard on the feet. After one
stepping and tangoing, your feet ache and
burn, they are tender and inflamed, and q
good nights sleep Is generally out of the
question, no matter how tired you may be.
A society girl who is confirmed lover Of
dancing has found way to enjoy all the
dancing she wants without the attendant
foot troubles. Here is her secret: She buys
a package of Wa-Ne-Ta at the drugstore
for quarter. When she gets home she
battles her feet few minutes in warm wat
err in which have been dissolved two or three
tablets of this wonderful preparation. Then
she goes to bed and sleeps like healthy
baby. Wa-Ne-Ta takes all the soreness,
burning, sweaty unpleasantness from tho
feet and leaves them cool and comfortable.
Wa-Ne-Ta added to the bath water Is
cleansing and purifying. removing impurities
and banishing body odors. If your druggist
hasn't Wa-Ne-Ta. send us 10 cents to cover
packing and shipping charges and we will
send you a sample package to your address
prepaid. L. c. Landon Co.. South Bend. Ind.
