WAR BREAD IN THE BIBLE.

"War bread is far from being new
measure to conserve food resources. The
Children of Israel, when they defended
Jerusalem against siege, were advised by
Ezekiel to utilize every possible means
for supplementing their wheat supplies,
and that was more than 2,400 years ago.
A writer has revived Ezekiel's recipe, as
follows:
"a thirteenth century commentator,
David Kimchi, drew attention to the
verse in Ezekiel which said, Take thou
also unto thee wheat and barley, and
beans, and lentils, and millet, and ftches
and put them in one vessel and make
thee bread thereof The prophet COM
mented Kimchi, thus warns the disobedi-
ent children of Israel that during the
siege of Jerusalem they will no longer
be able to make their bread with pure
wheat, but they will have to mix with
it all kinds of grain and vegetables with
which flour is not made unless extreme
need makes it necessary to do So What
ever Ezekiel may have meant by his
advice to the Children of Israel, he fur
nished recipe for war bread which is
pretty certainly the oldest extant in the
world David Kimchi's comment is 700
years old and Ezekiel wrote LOO years
before Kimchi."

THE TALMUD.

Mighty volumes of an ancient lore
Lie upon the table fore my eyes
Here is held of learning's bOundless store
That which Israels memory glorifies.
Law that mingles with tale of elves;
Preachment side by side with joyous
JEST
He who in the yellow volumes delves,
Finds all life within their leaves ex-
pressed.
Burnt, reviled through prosecutions, ages,
Still they live to cheer the studious
mind;
All the wondrous thoughts of IsraePs
sages,
In these tombs of wisdom lie enshrined.
Abraham Burnstein.

ABOUT EXTRA WORK."

All boys and girls who are reading
our Junior page attend school, but how
many of them attend Cheder, and how
many spend any time at all learning
about the Jewish people, their religion,
law, and history?
The average boy or girl feels that he
has too much to do already. He must
go to school, practice his music lesson,
and help his mother or father once in
while When he enters high school, the
school work is still harder, and he must
spend all his time doing his regular work
"It is not right" he will complain, 'to
ask me to do some extra work" Even
when this boy will enter the university,
he will say: "My Jewish education can
wait. I have so much school work, l
can't spare a minute to do extra work"
This type of boy or girl who thinks
that to learn something about his PEG
pie, about himself, is extra work" will
never find time to take up the subject
AS the years go by he will become
stranger to the thoughts and feelings
of his own people and soon deep abyss
will lie between him and them.
happier luIuIO awaits lu0 UOy VI
girl who makes the study of the Jewish
people his regular work. Every new fact
he learns about his people is an added
jewel to his store of precious informa
ton. He soon acquires the feeling of
self-respect, and pride for the achieve
ments of his ancestors. But more than
that, he becomes worthy of the name
Jew.
Many people, Jews and non-Jews,
have said that the Jews are too proud of
their ancestors, and think that they are
better than other people. If this is true,
1 hope it has made of us a nobler nation,
for we have surely profted by feeling
that we are too good to do certain things
1t is always best to strive toward a high
IDEAL and surely no one can deny that
Jewish history contains a long list of
noble, patriotic and wise men. The He
brew literature beginning with the Bible
and ending with the writings of men OF
our own day, has not been excelled by
any nation. Our Bible is the spring from
which all great writer's derive their wis
dom and truth Little argument is nee
essary to convince anyone that the Jew
has given great contributions to our pres
ent civilization. We may, therefore, look

Having answered the first puzzle you
can now start on something harder.
Study the picture below carefully and
tell the story in about $50 words. Your

he would never have his hair cut un-
til Germany emerged victorious from

Capers' room in a local hotel while ne

LENR00T IN BY 8,575
Davies Hope Milwaukee Would Decide
Contest, Is Dissipated.

Milwaukee. April 3.-Belated re-
turns from yesterdays election con-
firmed the victory of Irvine L. Len
root, Republican, for senator. His
plurality at noon was S,575.
With 10 counties complete and
comparatively full reports from all
but four others, the vote stood:
Lenroot, 1870, sos; Joseph E. Davies,
Democrat 121,933; Victor L. Berger,
Socialist, S8.O36.
The missing counties will maintain
Lenroot's winning ratio as they are
safely Republican. The last hope for
Davies disappeared with returns from
all but four Milwaukee precincts which
14.555, and this was not sufficient to
overcome the Lenroot plurality in
other parts of the state of 24.13o.
Berger Leads in Milwaukee.
With four precincts not heard from
the vote of Milwaukee both city and
country was:
Lenroot, 15.442; Davies 29,es7:
Berger 1907.
Davies Still Hopeful.
Davies leaders refused to concede
that Lenroot is winner. They declared
complete Milwaukee returns will give
Davies sufficient margin to offset Len
root lead IN the state outside Mil
waukee county. However, according
to figures compiled by the Davies
headquarters, Lenroot was leading the
Democratic candidate by approximate
ly 1000 with many Milwaukee pre-
cinctS yet to be reported.
Lenroot's managers claim his cleo
tion by 10000 plurality.
Analysis of the partial returns in
dicates that in several counties of the
German belt much of the vote given
James Thompson. La Toilette Repub-
hcan' candidate who was defeated at
the primaries was cast yesterday for
Berger.
German Belt for Berger.
Sheboygan and Manitowoc coun-
ties, heavily German, rolled up big
majorities for Berger. Returns today,
however. made it apparent that Ber-
ger has polled total vote equal to the
Berger and Thompson vote at the
primaries.
Definite count. it was estimated, will
show that Berger on his stop the war
platform failed to poll more than 35
per cent of the combined vote of Len
root and Davies.
