Las ne arNcLEAN LIZZIE

Editor FL Paso Herald:
Reading the article why Is Horse
Flesh Tsbooed2' in your issue OF Dec
%, ] have noticed the following state
ment, which is incorrect:
1T was the 18th book Of Leviticus
that presented the ban upon the FOUR
footed animals who did not have cud
and cloven foot in common.
It seems that there is one important
sentence which was overlooked The
second sentence Of the second chapter
in Noah reads as follows: OF every
clean beast. thou shalt take TO thee
seven pair OF each. the male and his fe-
male, and OF beasts that are not clean
two. the male and his female"
Now what was meant by clean and
what was meant by unclean2 This is
very easily answered BY clean was
meant all animals that were allowed
for Noah's people TO eat and by unciean
animals. we mean all these beasts that
were not allowed to be eaten in Noah
time
The Talmud has also reference TO it,
by stating in Airuvin, that when com
handing Noah to take in his ark clean
animals. il meant those that are al
lowed for Noah to eat now and which
shall be allowed for the Jewish people to
eat in years 10 come, and by unclean
ones was meant those beasts that are
not allowed TO be eaten now and VIII
not be allowed to be used as food for
the Jewish people Cor reference, look
at the second sentence of chapter 12, Of
Leviticus. which calls clean animals
those that Jews may eat, and unclean
those that Jews may not eat) 1t is then
seen plainly that the Jews had already
their diet laws long before the TOrah
was given, namely 1872 years before
Leviticus was handed TO the Jews.
Or. Easter is then absolutely incor-
rect by saying: when a ban was
placed upon the pig as a part OF ones
food. it was impossible for the Jewish
people to live neighborly with the
Egyptians" The worthy doctor could
easily see now that long before. the
Jewish people had been prohibited 10
use unclean animals as their food Laws
prohibiting the use of the pig. etc,
were not passed in Egypt, but long be
fore.
/ also wonder why DR.. Zielonks, in
stead of referring TO Leviticus when
asked about the ancient legislation
against Unclean animals. did not refer
to the time when Jews were told about
their diet laws 792 years before Noah's
time, long before the Torah was given
to the Jews.

WOMAN LEADS SAVAeES
AGAINST BRITISH

Cape Town, Sept. 25.-There has
appeared In the Kilimanjaro region .
German woman warrior who IL lead
ing a force of native troops without
the assistance of any other European.
Near the mountains of the moon
this desperate woman waged guerilla
warfare against the allied forces,
and thrilling stories are told of the
strange wild life which she and her
black followers led.
Among the fighting forces and re-
sidents in British East Africa this
white, Amazon is known as the Bib
Sacharinia, a name which has been
given her by the natives.
The natives story is that she Is the
wife of German commandment who
was killed in the fight which took
place at Longido on September Is,
1914. She was so grief-stricken over
the death of her husband that she had
openly declared to be revenged.
The natives. who spoke of her az =
mad woman. said that her anger was
particularly concentrated against the
Kings African Rifles. in a skirmish
with which force her husband had
been slightly wounded. and the East
African Mounted Rifles.
In the early days of the East Arf-
the arrival of the Indian troops In
November, 1914. there was great
deal of guerilla lighting. and on both
sides there were retirements before
superior forces. The Bibi Sacharini
was seen on several occasions, her
force var.'ing from 100 to 200 natives,
Through glasses many officers OF the
British forces have seen this white
woman commander in her kraal sur
rounded by blacks Never since the
L,ongido fight has she been seen In
the company of a European.
She is described as a big woman
with f1axen hair She rides aStride
and Is armed to the teeth. She seems
to have a wonderful control over her
native followers
The Askaris tell wonderful stories
of the Bib Sacharinr's prowess with
the gun. She has the reputation of
never missing anything on which she
can pull trigger,
