Had Tot Known Good Nights Sleep For Years-NOw Sleeps Like a Boy.

Il call it wonderful experience" said MT. Wm. Walker, the we'll known Brick Mason of 2407 First Ave, Bir- mingham, Ala, ito go for years without knowing a good nights sleep and then find a wonderful natural medicine that lets you sleep like boy. It seems most too good to be true.
 q suffered for a good many years with Asthma so badly that I could neither work nor sleep. was always afraid 1 would suffocate in my sleep and so lived for years never getting the least relief.
 "Then one day I determined to try Sulferro-Sol just as a drowning man grasps at straw. To my deep won derment after taking six doses of this remarkable natural remedy I could lie down and sleep. I never got such wonderful result from any other medicine before. I feel that Sulferro- Sol is surely the greatest remedy that has ever been given to help man go through his sufferings here below" (Note-Sulferro-Sol has been used in numberless cases of Asthma and Catarrh and rarely ever fails to give quick and permanent relief.)
 Sulferro-Sol is sold and recom- mended by the Hesterly Drug Store. They will gladly tell you of it's great healing and building powers.

PRODUCE
 EGGS AT LESS COST

Leghorns produce eggs cheaper than hens of the general-purpose breeds-Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes Rhode Island Reds and Orpingtons. This fact, which confirms the belief and experience of commercial poultry farmers, was one of the results ob- tained in a rather extensive feeding test recently reported by poultrymen Of the United States Department of Agriculture. Because they lay as many or more eggs, eat only about 5 pounds of feed per head as compared With 70 to S5 pounds eaten by the general breeds, and because their egg yield very materially exceeds that of general-purpose breeds during their second and third laying years, Leg horns, the specialists say, undoubt- edly are more profitable to keep for the production of eggs only
 In this test the feed cost of a dozen eggs for one of the Leghorn pens was ''34 cents in 1913 while the average cost of all the pens of the general purpose breeds was 10.6 cents. In l9l4 the feed cost of a dozen eggs for the same pen of Leghorns was ST cents as against an average cost of lol cents for the second laying year ot the general-purpose pens. During their third laying year the cost of a uozen eggs was SIS cents compared to lS'6 cents for the general-purpose loWls. The total value of eggs per nen over feed cost in the Leghorn pen TOT three years was $6.S4 against 94'7o for the general-purpose hens. ne highest egg production obtained Ill any of the feeding experiments up to 1915 was by a pen of Leghorns which laid 157,6 eggs per hen, at a reed cost of 6.7 cents a dozen.
 The Leghorns produce smaller eggs mat the general-purpose breeds. The average weight of the eggs of a pen ol Leghorns during the first laying year was 1.42 pounds per dozen as "galnst 1.53 to 1.58 pounds for the

other pens. However, Leghorns lay ing eggs weighing 1.50 pounds per dozen or even more, the specialists say, have been selected and bred by many poultrymen. An examination in May, 1915, of 800 eggs from 8 Leghorn pens showed that 31 per cent weighed more than ? ounces apiece, or 1.50 pounds to the dozen.
 The value per dozen of the eggs produced by the Leghorns was from 1 to cents less each year than the eggs of general-purpose hens. This diff ference is due to the fact that the general-purpose breeds are better winter layers than the Leghorns while the latter give higher production in the spring and summer. Very few

Leghorns become broody, which prob ably materially affects their egg yield as compared with the general-purpose breeds. Better fertility in the eggs, especially with stock confined to the yards, is more often secured with Leghorns than with the general-pur pose or any of the hevier breeds.

THE ENGLISH IN TAFFA.

According to recent dispatches,
Jaffa is at last in the possession of
the English troops operating against
the Turks in Palestine. It means that
half of Palestine, or all of ancient
.|udea, has been wrested from the
Ottoman power. 1t means that the
road is now open to the British
forces toward Jerusalem. It means
that all the Jewish settlements in
the plain stretching between Jaffa
and Beersheba, their settlements in
the cities and in the country, are
now safe from further molestation
by Turks and Arabs.
We don't wish the Turk any
harm. But we want him to keep on
moving farther north, farther east,
IN any direction, but out of Pales
tine. He never was a good landlord
there. He collected his rent all right.
But he would never do anything for
his tenants. His establishment was
considerably run down, out of repair.

Yes, dear Corinne, we may and
should loyallyssupport the Red Cross
work without, however, decorating
ourselves, our homes and Our syna-
gogues with crosses. By placing
cross on Jewish public building, for
instance, we would lead our Chris
tan neighbors to believe that we
have become converted to their faith.
They would then stop supporting
missionaries to the Jews, which
would be a great loss-to the mis-
sionaries. Besides, wearing a cross
is a privilege reserved for Jewish
christian Scientists only.

ON THE WRONG TRACK.

It is most laudable for Jewish
young men to band themselves to-
gether for the purpose of self-cul-
ture, and to organize Y. M. H. A.
We were never enamored of this par
ticular name. We don't see why we
should always initiate our Christian
neighbors. It is called Y. M. H. A.

because our Christian fellow-citizens
have their Y. M. c. A. Jewish Young
Mems Association would be tar
more appropriate name. This only
en- PEASANT.
What we wish to say is that when
Jewish young men do form such
separate association, it must be for
the purpose of Jewish culture. That
is it's only raison d'etre. To arrange
for a course of addresses and lee
lures that have nothing more Jew
ish about them than similar address
es that can be heard in dozen plac-
es every day in every city, and that
are free and easily accessible to all
who would avail themselves of the
opportunity, is simply waste of eff
fort. It amounts to this: A society
is formed without any definite aim
and object, and then something is
devised to keep it going, to give it
the appearance of usefulness.
This matter was made clear to the
young men of the Minneapolis Y. NJ.
H. A. when they first launched their
organization It was made clear to
them by those who are truly inter-
ested in their society and wish to
see it grow and prosper. 1t was
shown to them that there are so
many Jewish problems, Jewish cul-%
tural interests to engage their at
tention, that they can safely leave
politics, economics, and the war to
other bodies for discussion, which
they may join as American citizens.
We need no separate Jewish organi
zation for that, any more than we
need Jewish political clubs. But it
seems that the young men prefer
their own ideas and counsels in the
matter. Or, perhaps they have not
had time as yet to find their bear
ings, to properly orient themselves.
At any rate, they are on the wrong
track.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

these are the words OF Mdlle w u
lem Frederik Treub, Holland MIN
ister of finance, as quoted IN a re-
cent Associated Press correspond
ence. He is in favor of restoring
Palestine to the Jews. 1t will be the
solution of a question, says he, that
is so painful for the Jews and tor
the world.
What is this painful question? The
question of how to preserve the
Jews and their culture, and at the
same time put an end to the two
thousand years old antagonism be-
tween them and the nations among
whom they have lived. That this
question is painful to the Jews, or
rather, the condition that gives rise
to the question, goes without saying.
It has made the Jews existence
through the centuries long martyr
dom. 1t is still fraught with dan
ger, misery, embarrassment, annoy
ance, inconvenience, for them in
most places. Who can tell what fate
there is in store for the Jews Of Rus
STA, Poland and even Germany and
Austria
But it is also painful to the Chris
tian world Why? Because the
Christian world has a grievous bur
den of guilt upon its conscience. Al
ter all, it cannot tell why it has per-
secuted the Jews and why it is per-
hitting it at this time. 1t knows
full we'll by this time that all the
charges formerly trumped up by the
church and it's zealots, and by other
despots and bigots, charges that are
still repeated by narrowminded and
small-souled Jew-haters, are false.
1t knows full we'll that complete as
similation and absorption of the Jews
in the Christian body, even if it were
possible, !. e., if all the Jews were
willing, is no remedy. And the bet
ter and clearer-minded of the Chris
tan world don't consider it even de-
sirable. Humanity would certainly
be the loser by the disappearance
of group that has history Of $500
years and a remarkable genius and
keen mentality as it's result.
This mutually painful question,
therefore, can be answered only in
one way Restore the Jews as ma
ton upon their own old home soil
AS nation in a separate state Jews
may live on the most cordial terms
with all their neighbors and with all
the world. That is coming to be the
opinion Of all the enlightened states
