Rock Island, says: Il suffered a great
deal from irregular action of my kid

was hard to straighten up after stoop-
ing. I was in misery when I started
using Doan's Kidney Pills. They soon
made NE feel better and stronger.

regulated tho action OF my kidneys. "
Statement given May IS, 1922.
Over two years later, Mrs. Jamison
said: II have not noticed the slight
est, return OF kidney trouble since
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me- 1 am
in the best Of health and I can now do
my homework with comfort"

PURIM NEXT WEEK
Reading of Book OF Esther From
Parchment Scroll Principal
Feature of Service.
FEAST RECALLS DELIvERANCE
Marks Day Wherein People of Race
Had Rest From Enemies
Gifts TO Be Exchanged.

Purim, a minor feast in the Jewish
calendar falls this year on the 10Th
day of March The reading of the
book of Esther from a parchment
scroll on that day constitutes the
principal feature in the synagog SER
vice. The feast recalls the deliver
ance of the Jews of Persia through
the intervention of Queen Esther and
her kinsman Mordecai, from a threat
ened massacre planned by Haman,
the kings yizier. In the words of the
book of Esther it commentaries the
day wherein the Jews had rest from
their enemies and the month which
was turned unto them from sorrow
to gladness and from mourning unto
a good day" 1t was decreed that the
day be observed in a joyous spirit that
finds expression in sending portions
to one another and gifts to the poor
esther, chapter 8, verse 20).
The feast bears the name of Purim,
| because it is recorded that Hannah,
the arch enemy Of the Jews, sought
to fix the day of their destruction by
casting Purim, which, according to a
popular etymology given in the book
of Esther, means lots The feast is
more social in character than relig-
ious. 1t does not require cessation
| from labor or any special religious
ceremony other than the reading OF
the book of Esther and the reciting OF
few special prayers inspired by the
event commemorated
Poor are Remembered.
In former times the celebration in
/ some places partook of the nature OF
a carnival. At present the story OF
the book of Esther is not infre-
quently presented in dramatized form
The injunction to remember the poor
was and is observed faithfully During
the centuries of persecution, the feast
of Purim was quite popular, due, per
haps, to the fact that the story of de-
liverance from the plottings of the
tyrantS, which the day recalled
brought hope of a similar deliverance
from the evil designs Of existing Ha-
mans.
