quotas have been subscribed.
IL is all something Of a credit tc
south Bend, however. Learning OF
the SOUTH Bend plan. and methods
go bc employed. EIkhars and La
porte came over, studied them, and
going back applied them TO their
small quotas with success.
EIkhart went over with its $780,
900 i'm two hours; IAporte went
over the first day.
Mishawaka. under the It. Joseph
county organization, was some
100000 over its $500. 900 quota
shortly after noon Sunday.
Mishswaka has only about half
the population of EIkhart, yet its
quota was larger by $4,000. and
the amount raised mp TO closing
time last night. nearly equal TO the
quotas OF EIkhart and LapOrte
combined.

There are about thirteen million
Jews in the world. Over one half
Of these millions live now in Eastern
Europe. They are living at present in
a very unsatisfactory condition. The
end of the great war will bring about
a elimination of Jewish upheavel and
a mighty exodus to the land of Pales-
tine The war has already uprooted
and broken up the homes of two mil.
lions of Jews in Eastern Europe.
These two millions are certain to
start for the Holy Land as soon as
the way is open. and safe. These
alone will more than double the pre-
sent population of the Holy Land. 1t
is possible that the most of that
homeless two millions will get into
Palestine within one year after the
war ends"
The secretary of the Hebrew
Christian Publication Society, Of
New York, writes:
"This war is a subject Of Bible pro-
phecy, and a large part Of its per-
manent result will be the restoration
of Israel to the land promised by
Jehovah to our forefathers."
The Menace, Of Aurora, Mo-,
says:
1--WE hope that one result Of this
war will be to give the Jew the free
dom he deserves in every country,
and q complete restoration to the land
Of his forefathers."
The. Christian Science Monitor,
of Boston, says editorially:
1.-The Government in London. and
so. no doubt, the whole body Of the
Allies, favors the establishment in
Palestine of a national home for the
Jewish people. That the dream Of
the Zionists will therefore soon be-
come a political reality there is NJ
reason to doubt"
A writer in The Literary Digest
says:
1.-The Jewish Morning Journal, of
New York. gives the title Of Messiah
to Great Britain, and says she is the
first conqueror Of the Holy City since
the days Of Cyrus to merit the title.
The British Government has already
pledged itself to the establishment Of
Palestine as a national home for the
Jews, and Zionist the world over hail
1t as the realization Of their hopes"
The same writer in The Literary
Digest goes on and quotes from
The Jewish Morning Journal as
follows: =
"Our holy ancient capital has many
times fallen into the hands Of a con-
querer since the death of Joshua. But
at no tine has she fallen into hands
other tna Jewish under such cir
cumstances as the present, and her
passing into new hands has never
Ia such Geep interest for millions
of Jews in other lands as this time.
England is conquering Palestine for
US. One must himself be a Jew and
know the Holy Writ in the original
language to grasp what it all means
to the Jew who has not entirely
estranged himself from his brethren.
All questions about the future
sovereignty over our ancient home
land are answered, and all doubt is
dispelled. Palestine is now under the
dominion Of the Power which has
promised to permit us to establish
there a. Jewish homeland. under the
power which is allied with great and
free America and with beautiful and
lovely France to make the world safe

and magazines and see if we can t
prove by them that it IS being
fulfilled right now.
W. T. Massey, a British cores
pondent with the Palestine Army,
thus describes in The New York
Times the triumphal entry OF the
Allied armies into the Holy City:
sFrom the outskirts of Jerusalem
the Jaffa road was crowded with peo-
ple who focked westward to e the
~conuuering general. Armenlans ana
Greeks stood side by side with MOS
lepls dressed in the brighter ralment
Of the East. The fat-topped roofs
and balconies held many people cry
ing aloud a general welcome. but IL
was in the streets where the cosmo-
nolitan crowd had assembled that one
hooked for and obtained the real feel
ing of all the peoples. What aston
ished me were the cries OF Bravo
and "Hurrah!" uttered by men VINO
could hardly have spoken the words
before. That the welcome a not
artificial or manufactured I can testl-
f., for quite close to the Jaffa Gate
I saw three old Mohammedans with
tears Of joy coursing down their
cheeks. They clapped their hands,
their hearts too full to utter words"
In an editorial headed, "Zion
and Zionism," the New York In
dependent of December % says:
srhe capture of Jerusalem by the
British forces has almost ecupsed the
more important military operations In
Europe. This Ia not unnatural, for
besides the unique historical and re-
ligious interest attached to the City
Of David, it's occupation Is n Of the
landmarks of the war. for 1t means

outcome, for no exiled people have re-
NAMED so long and 80 devotedly at
tached to the land of their forefathers
as have the Jews t Palestine. Now the
restoration of the Chosen People to
their Chosen Land seems imminent, for
the prophecies have been substantial
ed by the promise of the most power
full alliance Of nations that the world
has even known. On Nov. 3rd last the
British Secretary Of State for Foreign
Affairs, Arthur J. Balfour, wrote to
Baron Rothschild, vice-president Of
the British Zionist Federation, as fol-
lows:
His ,Majesty's Government views
with favor the establishment in Pales-
tine of a national home for the Jewish
people, and will use its best e~ndeavors
to facilitate the achievement of this
object, it being clearly understood
that nothing shall be done which may
prejudice the civil and religious rites
of existing non-Jewish communities in
Palestine Or the rights and political
status enjoyed by Jews in any other
country"
In an article headed, "Looking
Toward Zion,' in The Christian
Herald Of Jan. 9, Richard Dobson
says:
"The Jews have never yet renounc-
ed their claim on Jerusalem AMI the
land of Judea. In all their long his
tory Of wanderings and s~ojournings
they have looked with a longing eye

HEALTH TALK
SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRI
BY DIR. LEE II. SMITH.

An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight German or germ,
we must put up good fight, and not be
afraid. The influenza runs very brief
course when the patient is careful, and
if we keep the system in good condition
and throw off the poisons which tend to
accumulate within our bodies, we can
escape the disease. Remember these
three C's-a clean mouth, a clean skin,
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses of q pleasant laxative
should be taken. Such one is made
of May-apple, leaves OF aloe, root of
jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by q cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two
hours, with lemonade. The Anuric tab
lets were first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
and, as they flush the bladder and
cleanse the kidneys, they carry away
much of the poisons and the uric acid.
1t is important that broths, milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet
be given regularly to strengthen the sys-
tenn and increase the vital resistance.
The fever is diminished BY the use of the
Anuric tablets, but in addition, the fore
head, arms and hands may be bathed
with water (tepd in which table,
spoonful OF saaratus has been dissolved
IN a quart. After an attack Of grip or
pneumonia to build up and strengthen
the system, obtain at the drug store a
good iron tonic, called +" Irontic" Tab
