1t is an indisputable fact that
people can keep healthy and well
in no better way than by keeping
their bodies clean, inside and out.
Many thousands of people are
killed every year by allowing
toxic poisons to accumulate
within the body, and then they
fall victims to fevers and all sorts
of maladies with special names.
The only way to keep thoroughly

Germany has only one business on
hand today; that is the winning Of
the war. VIII English people never
realize this? Will they never under
stand that all German interests are
submerged in the national interest of
emerging successfully from the war?
Man-power is but an incident in
the life of Germany of today. It is
only on par with the manufacture
of munitions. propaganda, utilization
of prisoners of war, and dozen other
aspects of the conflict. There is no
sacred liberty of the subject in the
Fatherland now; every man, woman
and child is but a small cog in the
progress of the military machine
Whether they like it or not the High
Command does not trouble.
I do not for one moment suggest
such arbitrary methods will ever
come to pass in England. I sincere
ly hope they viii not. But the time
has surely arrived when we should
ask ourselves whether we should not
take leaf out of the Hun book and
devote our energies, our entire re-
sources of male and female labor. This
war is not won yet. The time may
yet come when Lord Kitchener's pro-
phecy of the nation which can place
the last million men into the field
winning the war will come true.
I do not think the Germans will
suffer under and scruples about their
last million men. They will be taken,
| holus bolus, from every kind of en-
ployment, with total disregard of what
| they may think. It is brutal method
but wonderfully effective. (By the

NEW DETAILS OF
JERUSALEM LIFE

Some interesting details of the new
life in Jerusalem since the British
occupation are contained in letter
from DR.. Jacob Thon, of the Pales-
tine Bureau, dated Jan. 30th, adj
Committee Among other things, the
expansion by the Bezalel school of
it's pre-war activities.
The Bezalel School for Arts and
Crafts, practically the first construc-
tive institution established by the
Zionists in Palestine under the head
ship of Prof. Boris SHAFT, had devoted
itself to the task of teaching useful
vocations to the native youth, devot-
ing particular attention to the arts
and crafts. AS the older settlement
began to realize the full significance
of Bezalel, some of the adults began
to occupy seats in the class rooms
alongside of the younger pupils. Just
beforo the war several classes were
instituted, composed of Yemenite Jews
of mature years. With the outbreak
of the war the school suffered the
same hardships to which all of the
other institutions were subjected, and
it seemed to have received it's death
blow when Prof. Boris Shatz was
banished into exile by the Turkish
authorities who accused him and other
leading Jews of Jerusalem with pro-
Ally sympathies.
However, the British occupation
has had the effect of creating a
splendid local market for the products
of the school, especially among the
English officers who have evineed a
keen desire to possess Bezalel ware.
The result is that at the end of jan
uary of this year, the workrooms of
this splendid school were providing
useful occupation for $50 women and
the eagerness of as many more to en-
ter must be denied because of lack
of funds
another result of the British occu-
patton has been the installation of
kitchen gardens in and near Jerusa-
lem. The young men are vieing with
each other in the raising of vegeta-
bles to meet the demands of the Eng
lish soldiers who pay well for every
thing. This infant industry is expect
ed to develop into permanent fea-
ture of Jewish life in Jerusalem.

leaves Of aloe and jalap. They
are sugar coated, tiny pills, and
easy to take. No one should be
without them, and it is most
beneficial if " Pellets" are taken
at least once a week to clear out
the intestines. By reason of the
toxins, or poisons, bred in the in
testines these poisonous bacteria
are sent all through the blood
channels and the victim feels
tired, sleepy and headachy, or
the brain doesn't work as usual.
Sometimes the breath is offensive.
PinPles or boils break out On

liver pill for half a century past.
They are standard and eficacious.

Sir -
The Insular Chamber of Com
.merce of Porto Rico, at it's regular
annual meeting held -dey, after
full discussion on the subject,
adopted the following,
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the purposes for
which the Food Commission was
created under joint Resolution
No. 10 of the Legislative Assemb-
ly of Porto Rico, approved April
18th, 1917, are also covered under
the Law promulgated by the Pre-
sident Of the United States in vir-
tue of he authority upon him YES
ted by the Act Of Congress ap-
proved August 10th, 1917, entitled
"An Act to provide further for
the national security and defense
by encouraging the production of
food products and fuel"; and
WHEREAS, the Interpretation
of both laws frequently brings into
conflict the matters therein referr-
ed to; and
WHEREAS, even within the
present abnormal conditions Of
the country it is an evident fact
that the rights Of he Commerce
represented by this Chamber have
been injured as a consequence of
commercial transactions engaged
in by the Food Commission in
Difference to a perhaps somewhat
exaggerated patriotic zeal; and
WHEREAS, without denying
the wisdom of the Act creating the
Food Commission and the benefits
derived therefrom by the COM
munity in general, the Insular
Chamber of Commerce is of the
opinion that the said Food Com
mission might properly fulfil the
purposes for which it was created
without invading except in eases
of special emergencies for which
it is empowered-the field Of a
commerce which is acting under
the protection of the laws and con-
tributing in the proper manner
towards the defraying Of public
expenditures;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE 1T
RESOLVED BY THE INSULAR
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF
PORTO RICO,
That His Exccllency the Cover
nor of Porto Rico be and he is
hereby petiticned to proceed so to
limit and regulate the powers and
functions of the Food Commission
of Porto Rico as to make them ac-
