FESTIVAL OF TABERNAcLEs.
succoth Completes Cycle of Important
 Holidays in Month of Tishri.

Succoth or the Festival of Taber- nacles CBooths) completes the cycle of important holidays which makes the month of Tishri so notable in the Jewish religious calendar. It is one of the so-called pilgrimage feasts (the others being Passover and PentecosG in the celebration of which every adult male 1sraelite was according to Biblical law required tO appear at the central shrine at Jerusalem. Succoth itself lasts seven days, as there is joined to it an additional day, known specially as Shemi11i Atzereth or the Eighth day of Solemn assembly. The festival be- gins this year the evening of Oct. 11th and continues to the evening of Oct. 18th. Only the first and last days are full holidays, the intervening days being semi holidays However, the or thodox couple the second day with the first and the eighth with an additional ninth day of Rabbinical establishment also as full holidays.
 Succoth is primarily a festival of thanksgiving. It grew out of the early agricultural life of Israel-a joy ulf celebration following the autumn harvest, when, with rich products of field, Orchard and vineyard garnered, gratitude to God well up in the heart and the hand was open in charity to the widow, the orphan, the Levite and the stranger. In keeping with this original intent many synagogues deck the altarS on SuccOth with the fruits and produce of the season and baskets of the same are sent to the poor and needy after the services.
 The ceremonial of the festival calls for the palm branch, sprigs of willow and myrtle and the fruit of the sitron Various symbolic interpretations have been given to each of these plants, but probably they were originally used simply for garlands in the festive pro- cessionals or for decorative purposes in the booth.
 Though Succoth is thus primarily hervest festival, it is not wholly and solely one. Tradition makes it com- memorative also of the wandering in the wilderness, when Israel had only frail booths for dwellings. Hence the requirement to dwell in booths which is part of the ceremonial of the festival and hence also the distinctive name of the festival as Succoth, l. e., Booths or Tabernacles.
 On first thought there would seem to be no connection getween the sig nif1cance of Succoth as, on the one hand, harvest festival of tlanksgiv- ing, and, on the other hand, historical festival reminiscent of Israel's wilder ness wander;ngs. A little reflection suggests one or two explanations for the juxtapos1tion. Gods providence is moth the waste places of life and in it's fertile fields. We are to remember amid the enjoyment of the harvest the wilderness wandering and in the chas- tentng memory of earlier want and ad- versity, the pride of prosperity must be sWeetened and sanctified lest it be- come materialism

DEAD MAN COMES
 TO LIFE AGAIN
William H. Mossbroker Startled by Sudden Appearance of Aged Negro

William H. Mossbrower, superin- tendent of the almshouse in New Lon don thought that he was seeing things when a former inmate whom he thought dead. walked into the insti- tuition and asked to be given shelter. The man is Charles Skinner, an aged negro, who is supposed to have left this vale of tears last June.
 Skinner, who is about 80 years of age, was admitted to the almshouse by the order of Charity Commissioner Charles Prentis last March and in May he left the institution of his own ac- cord to go to work. On June an item appeared in a local paper that Charles Lancaster, better known as Skinner, had died suddenly and as Skinner never took the trouble to de- ny the item, it was taken for granted that it was Charles Skinner.
 Superintendent Mossbroler had not set eyes on Skinner since his reported death and he had supposed that the man had passed to the great beyond. He could not believe his eyes when Skinner walked into the almshouse Thursday. MT. MossbroWer hastened to tell Skinner that he thought he was dead but he was assured immediately that the aged negro was very much alive. 4t

RELIEVE HEADACHES
 WITHOUT DOSING
BY APPLYING sLoAN's LlNiMENT TO FOREHEAD YOU GAN STOP
 THE SEVERE PAINS.

Many headaches are of a neuralgia origin. The symptoms of such head aches are intense and lingering pains in the brow, temples or back of the head.
 There is one certain relief that has been known and recommended for years back, Sloan's Eminent. One application and the dull pain is prac- tically gone. It is easily applied with out rubbing. Rubbing is unnecessary, as Sloan's Liniment quickly penetrates to the seat of trouble.
 4 h 1 n g muscles, rheumatism, bruises, lumbago, chilblains, sprains and stiff neck can also be most effec- lively treated with Sloan's Eminent. Cleaner than mussy plasters or oint- ments; 1t does not stain the skin or clog the pores.
