Rejoice at Fall of Palestine.
Arabs and Jews alike rejoiced when
Great Britain took Palestine. Only about
two-thirds of the Arabs in Palestine are
Mohammedan: the others are Christian.
They distrust one another more than they
Go the Jews. Therefore, they would pre-
fer British rule, or an Independent state,
to any arrangement which would be either
Mohammedan or Christian. This fact is
not generally understood
Palestine has suffered by the efforts

Zionism Misunderstood,


aside from all sentimental consid.
erations and those Of right and justice,
there is the strongest reason for a Brit
ish protectorate in Palestine. Zionism
does not mean. as Is too often thought,
that Jews everywhere should pick up
and go to Palestine 1t does mean that
the Jews of this and other nations
should give their loyal support to the
efforts toward national integration OF
the Jews who already are there and
the few who may wish to go there.
America, not having territorial in
terests in the near east and desiring to
develop her commercial and Industrial
relations there, as already attested by
the extension of the Standard OIL Com
pany's operations, would find in such q
quadruple alliance the opportunity for
expansion. with Palestine as a base.
Manufactured articles which Amer
lea produces SO easily and freely could
be sold there. Palestine, with Jewish
rulers who recognize the part America
must play in her rehabilitation and in
sympathy with American ideals of de-
mocracy. naturally would be most re-
ceptfve to American industrial pioneers.
be they Jew or Christian
Il have talked to men of affairs in
this lountry and have spoken to nanv

most cordial sympathy and the great
est rejoicing among men of ali re-
lfgions to the withdrawal of Palestine

Warns Against Egotism.

1t calls attention to the fact that per
sonal acquaintances or friendships be-
tween persons in the military establish.
ment and those prominent in official life
are personal privileges which should
never be used among military men or in
military circles in a spirit Of public or
private bo"stfulness, egotism or self
aggrandizement."
Particularly is attention called to the
military prohibition which states that
these provisions are especially true
with regard to the President Of the
Unitel States and members Of the cabi-
net"
Further Restrictions.
Men wearing the uniform of branch
of the military service Of the United
States without having enlisted in some
branch Of the service are made the
subjects of paragraph In the order
which states, Recent federal legisla-
tion has carefully defined the persons
who are authorized to wear the mill
tary uniform" One point emphasized
by Col Dapray is the fact that ac-
cording to the regulations governing
the wearing of military uniforms mem
bers of the National Guard not in the
federal service are not entitled to wear
the uniform under any conditions.

SALARIES IN SCHOOLS
IS THEME Of CITIZENS
Mount Pleasant Association Urges
Increased Pay for Teach
ers and Janitors.

Increased pay for grade teachers
janitors and assistant janitors of the
public schools was urged by the Mount
Pleasant Citizens Association ir res
olutions adopted at meeting at the

In a joint resolution, introduced by
William H. Linkins and Arthur D.
Call, it was set forth that President
Wilson has urged that the schools
maintain their standards and that tho
children remain in the schools for
service of the nation in these days of
war.
1t also was asserted that the cost of
living in Washington has increased at
least twice over what 1t was three
years ago. In view of this and the
large salaries to clerks, the resolutions
set forth that the grade teachers, jani-
tors and assistant janitors ought to
have their salaries increased.
The committee on schools, of which
Mr.. Linkins is chairman, was instruct
ed to present the matter to the Dis
cation. <''O 'A'o u H'u-
Street Car Service Criticised.
The street car service on the Mount
Pleasant line of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company was dis
cussed at length and several members
declared 1t is getting worse every day.
A communication was read from an
officer of the company relative to the
schedule of the cars, in which 1t was
stated the cars arrive at the terminus
faster than they can be gotten out
for the down town trip. The secretary
was instructed to send all of the cor
respondence to President King of the
railway company. calling his atten-
tion to the statement of this officer of
the company. and urging that something
be done to get the cars away from the
terminus
A resolution was adopted favoring the
use of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal to
bring coal to Washington. The efforts of
Representative Moore of PENNSYLVANIA to
have the number of boats on the canal
increased was commended

WEAKNESS REMAINS
LONG AFTER
Influenza
Reports Show That Strength,
Energy and Ambition Re-
turn Very Slowly to Grippe
Patients.

After an attack Of influenza, doc
tors advise that nature be assisted
in its building-up process by the
use of good tonic-one that will
not only put strength and endur-
ance into the body, but will also
help to build up and strengthen the
rundown cells of the brain.
One of the most highly recon-
mended remedies to put energy in
TO both body and brain is Bio-feren
your physician knows the form
ula--it is printed below.
There's iron in -feren-the
kind of iron that makes red blood
corpuscles and creates vigor. There
is lecithin also; probably the best
brain invigorator known to science.
Then there is good old reliable gen.
tian, that brings back your tagging
appetite.
There are other ingredients that
help to promote good he. tn. as
you can see by reading this form
ula, not forgetting kolo, that great
agent that puts the power OF en-
durance into weak people.
Taken altogether Bio-feren is a
splendid active tonic that will
greatly help any weak. rundown
person to regain normal strength,
energy ambition and endurance.
Bio-feren is sold by all reliable
druggists and is inexpensive For
weakness after influenza patients
are advised to take two tablets
after each. meal and one at bed
time - seven day, until health,
strength and vigor are fully re-
stored
It will not fail to help you and
if for any reason you are dfssatis-
fed with results your druggist is
authorized to return your money
upon representation any red tape
of any kind.
Note to physicians: There Is no
secret about the formula Of Bio
feren, it is printed on every pack
age. Here it is: Lecithin: Calcium
Glycero-ph osphate; Iron Peptonate,
Manganese Peptonate; Ext. Nux.
Vomica; Powdered Gentian; Phe-
