Jewish Penetential Season
Begins

Yom kippus, meaning the day OF
atonement which eliminates the
Jewish Petitential season will be OBJ
served in Morgan City Tuesday even
ing until shutdown Wednesday, Ser
vices viii start at the Jewish Syna-
gogue Tuesday evening at 1880 P.
M. and on Wednesday morning at
ten o'clock.
"The Jewish penitential season,
which begins with the New Year,
the first day of Toishri, eliminates
with Yom Kippur, the day of an
tenement, nine days thereafter, fish
ri the tenth. The latter is a solemn
fast, biblically ordained, whose mo-
tive as well as mode of observance
is found in the twenty-third chapter
Of Leviticus. It is the most sac
red day in the Jewish calendar and
as such is universally binding upon
Israelites.
while the synagogue ritual of
the day as observed by the reform
wing Of Judaism, is slightly differ
ent in verbiage and length from that
of the orthodox, the trend Of the
liturgy based on the thought under
lying the day is the same-a plea
for reconciliation between God and
man. Man by his unrighteousness
having alienated himself from his
maker, must acknowledge his sinful
ness and sue for pardon. The petit
ton for forgiveness, however, is to
be no mere lip service, but a sincere
resolution to mend ones way, the
preliminary to which is to make ma
terial restitution to those whom one
has Willingly wronged in this regard
and to ask pardon Of those whom one
has slandered. According to the
Jewish teaching the day can not
bring pardon for sins committed by
man against his fellow man until the
injured has been appeased.
"An equal duty to grant forgive
ness willingly and freely to those
who seek it is also incumbent. And
then, with peace and good will to-
ward men, the resolve is taken to
avoid sin and wrong doing, errors of
omission and commission, opportuni-
ties neglected and time wasted; and
to this end prayers for strength to
fulfill his purpose form large part
Of the liturgy. The fact that sin, by
it's very nature is bound to bring dire
sooner or later is in |
sisted upon as is also that prayer can
not be expected to avert the natural
result of transgression.
Having an appointed day to con-
template these things, it's proper use
S most beneficial in that with the
recognition of mans undoubted in
lividual responsibility to mankind,
IS well as his personal accountable
Y to God, he is not likely to make
moral failure of his life. The day
# atonement serves no miracle,
tut is divinely appointed for human
reeds and, through human agency,
o work divine ends.''

Younger Brother Held Down
BY Attitude of His Elders

If Il younger brother ever amounts
to anything it is in spite of his older
brothers. The treatment he receives
at their hands while he is young
makes it almost impossible for him to
meet and talk to people when he is
grown. They find fault with every
thing he does, and bring their com
bined influence to bear in an effort
to get him to run away from home.
The result is that he keeps out of
their presence, and since they are so
down on him he presumes that other
people are also down on him, says IA
writer
He gets to looking and acting like
homeless hound that is hated by
everybody in the neighborhood. The
poor hound has had so many rocks
thrown at him by men, women and
children that he has quit looking for
a friend. When he sees anyone com
ing he goes Off at full speed, and gives
a yelp, as if he had already been hit.
When the younger brother sees one or
more of his older brothers he turns
off and goes in another direction.
The oldest boy in the family de-
serves little credit even if he wins
wealth and fame, hut if the younger
brother ever reaches the point where
be can earn a dollar day, he should
be crowned with bays.

substantial nature.
The CHIEF reasons for locating the
plant here are the ready access to the
sand fields of Kermit Va, the Kings

Ehe Caskets manufactured at the
plant will be of a quality that will
compete with the most expensive and

The cost of the new factory will be

nainder of the investment will be ap-
Dlicd to the purchase of the machin-
~ and equipment for the plant.
1t is estimated by the promoters of

SIMPLE TRICK WILL
PREVENT A COLI
Number of Sick School Children Re
duced Where Health Nurses instruc
the Pupils Relative to Diseases

Colds may be prevented by KNOWN.
how to blow your nose, according t
Mrs. LenS A. Warner, of the Divisio,
of Extension, of the University of Tel
nessee.
Mrs. Warner has been studying tn,
question of health for a number O
years and traces most of the colds tina
hinder school children in their wor,
to lack Of this fundamental know
edge.
"fhe first thing boy or girl ough
to do upon getting up in the morning,
says Mrs. Warner, lis to blow hi
nose Then just before the school be-
rings do this again. While the chill
is young he forms the habit that h,
will not forget later in life.
ITO blow the nose properly, tht
handkerchief should be held loosely il
the palm and two forefngers of the
hand. One should lean forward slight
ly, Bury the nose in the handkerchief
but do not touch the nose with the
thumb or fingers. Draw in the breath
then blow. Wipe the nose, then blow
again. Should one side of the nose no
feel clear, press the thumb against the
clear side and blow. Repeat until eacl
side feels clear and clean"
In schools where health nurses are
engaged it has been shown that fol
lowing these simple suggestions de
creases the number of colds among thG
children.

Floating Gardens of China,
Immune Alike 10 Drought or
Flood, Often Avert Famine

The first point of interest to the
traveller i'm China is the boat tom Of
Canton. The Chooleung, or Pearl riv-
er for a distance of miles, is covered
with boats. which form the residences
of a numerous population. Land Is
valuable in China and it is presumed
that the rent of the river is merely
nominal.
The Chinese not only live on the riv-
ers, hut they also use them for gar
dening purposes. In the month of
April bamboo raft, ten to twelve feet
long and about half as wide, is pre-
pared.
The poles are lashed together, with
intcrSiices of an inch between each.
Over this IL layer of straw an inch
thick is spread, ana then a coating two
inches thick of adhesive mud, taken
from the bottom of Il canal or pond,
which receives the seed.
The raft is mO0red to the bank in
still water, and requires no further
attention. The straw soon gives away
and the soil also, the roots drawing
support from the water alone.
In about 30 days the raft becomes
covered with the Croeper GpOmea rep
tans). and its stems and roots are
gathered for cooking. In autumn it's
small white petals and yellow
stamens. nesting among the round
leaves, present very pretty appear
ance.
The chief use, however, is TO raise
vegetables for the owners family, and,
with half dozen of these rafts, Il
Chinaman will have enough and to
spare, says an exchange.
In the lower Yang-lse- KiNng and the
Hoang-HO rivers, extensive rice fields
are cultivated in this manner. Upon
rafts constructed as above, weeds and
adhcrent mud are placed rs flooring
and when the rice shoots are ready
for tranSplanting, they are placed in
the floating soil which, being adhesive
and held in place by weed roots, the
plants are maintained in position
throughout the season, the rice ripen-
ing in from go to 10 days.
The rafts are fastened to the shore
by cables, and these floating fields
have served to avert famine, whether
by drought or food. When other
fields were submerged and their crops
sodden or rotten, these flOated and
1lourished and when drought pre-
vailed, they subsidized with the falling
waters, and, while the soil around was
arid, advanced to maturity.

SEPTEMBER VEGETABLES

(By c. A. Keifer, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Mature bulbs of any variety of onion
planted in September will provide
salad onions during the winter Among
the best kinds for this purpose are
Multiplyer, Potato and Yellow Danvers
Long-standing spinach and German
kale can be sown up to the middle OF
September.
Small quantities of radish and let
tuce should be sown with the other
vegetables, because they are only in al
edible condition for a short time By
protection from frost, endive can be
used from tile garden until late De

A Substitute for Gelatin.

A substitute for gelatin is being
made in the Philippines from kind
of seaweed. The native women use it
to produce desserts similar to those
made elsewhere from gelatin. 1t is
similar to the dried substances brought
into the islands from Japan and China,
after being extracted from various
kinds of seaweed by the japanese and
Chinese, dried and marketed in the
form of bundles.
