A WONDERFUL PEOPLE.

A wonderful people are the Jews
This leads John A. Sleicher OF Leslie's
Weekly to write: THE Jews are IA
nous for taking care OF their own
race. Rarely does one see Jew ask
ing aims OF the public. No class OF
people has suffered more in this war
than the Jews. unless II be the Arme-
mans because they are believers In
Christ, and Christian nations have
prosecuted the Jews because they are
not Christians. Jews In the United
States are planning a new campaign
OF relief for Jewish war sufferers in
Europe. Already more than million
dollars has been collected and dis.
tributed. The joint distribution com.
mlttee, OF which Felix Warburg Is the
president. hopes TO raise an additional
10 million dollars In 1917. Most OF
this will come from Jewish people. but

wrath on the Jews In the name Of
Christianity. should respond cordially

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

A wise New Yorker, who lives in the
street called Wall, gives 1t as his
opinion that the American Congress
has about as much chance of reducing
the cost Of living as King Canuts had
of sweeping away the sea with a
broom. Americans are the favored
ones OF the world is his conclusion,
and the blessings received far out
weigh any inconvenience.
There is some truth in this.
Americans are more prosperous
than the people of any other nation
and the Japanese take second place.
However, the high cost of living never
bothers the little brown brother
In the land of the cherry blossoms
the masses subsist upon fish and rice,
which they wash down with copious
draughts Of tea.
They are fat and sleek and silent,
which is strong argument in favor
of fish and rice diet by the people
OF other nations.-Fort Worth Record.
How in the Sam Hill are the people
of the interior, like Brazos county, for
instance, going to live on fish and
rice diet, when there isn't a fish In
forty miles, except a few mud.cats
and minnows?

When will the war end? Italian
