NEWS ABOUT JEWS
EVERYWHERE
THE JEWISH WELFARE
BOARD
by Col. Harry Cutler.

y
organization commissioned to carry
out, in harmony with other agencies,
policies of the War Department re-
lating to the welfare and morale of
our fighting men, It aims to write
record of service which will win the
commentator of 100000 citi-
zens. While functioning primarily
for $4,000 men of Jewish faith, six
per cent. of our Army and Navy, it
contributes it's energies to all men in
uniform, regardless of faith and
creed, on the broadest principles Of
humanity. Three and a half million
American citizens are banded to-
gether through the clearing house of
the Jewish Welfare Board which
coordinates all their agencies inter-
ested in war work. It contributes
to the winning of the war as a Jew
ish institution, but save in the mat
ter of religious ministration, it is
non-sectarian in all it's activities.
The Jewish Welfare Board rec
ognizes more than any other war
work agency that there is no separa-
tism when the men are ordered to
go over the top and into No Mans
Land. Jew, Protestant and Catho-
lie obey the command with equal
fervor That is the spirit of COM
mon comradeship which animates all
our work, either at the front or at
home. A perfect spirit of coopera-
ton prevails between the Jewish
Welfare Board and other agencies,
both in this country and at the front,
which will go far towards better
understanding among these organi-
cations representing different faiths,
not only during but after the war
From my own experience [ want
to go on record as stating that the
recreational, spiritual and moral
equipment which this and other
agencies provide for the men in the
Army and Navy are just as much
an asset as the furnishing of rifles
and munitions. Because of this
equipment which the Government
has allowed us to extend, and be-
cause of the ideals of world de-
mocracy for which our men are con-
sciously fighting, this country has
been able to send forth the c1eanest
army, morally, mentally and spirit
ually, ever assembled in the history
of the world.

SERBIAN MASONS SEND
APPEAL TO AMERICANS

The Supreme Council of Scottish
Rite Masons has just sent an unusual
document to all the Masonic councils
and lodges in this country. Its pub
LEGATION is called forth by the fact that
pacificism has long ben part of the
Masonic creed and the Masons may be
disposed to consider seriously the
peace proposals which will be forth
coming from the Central Powers. In
view Of the German aggression which
brought on the world war, the Serbian
Masons want it clearly understood that
they are not pacificists. At least they
make plain their conviction that an
immediate and premature peace can
not meet in any way the earnest de-
sire of true Masonry

DOCTORS ARE STILL BUSY

According to a statement made to-
day by City Health Officer William

number of cases of Flu reported today
as yesterday So far as known. no
deaths have ben reported today, but

ports.
DR.. WEIGH is supposed TO send re-
ports daily to the State Health De-
partment in Baltimore. but these have
been coming in so irreguiarly from
the doctors who are rushed with calls,
that it has been impossible to follow
instructions.
Yesterday one physician sent in n
report that numbered five closely
written note sheets of names of pa
tients he had on his list of Flu vic
tins.
DR.. Russell, of Eastport. is aas busy
today with attending patients as he
was yesterday.
Few cases are reported in the coun-
ty. where the cases are scattered.
The City Health officer thinks the
outlook is encouraging, and is taking
anoptimistic view of the early pass
ing of the epidemic in this locality.

With only the immediate family

late F. S. Billiard were said yester-
day Afternoon in st. Anne's Church,

The casket was covered with beau

the foot of the chancel steps. The
friends present sang but one hymn,
Nearer My God To Thee" and this
was sung kneeling.

WHY THE PUBLIC
MUST DO ITS SHARE

If the "home papers" are TO be
sent to all our soldiers and sailors
and others, men and women. engaged
in war work abroad. this must be
done by the public generally or by
interested partise in each community.
The ruling of the War Industries
Board in reference to daily newspa-
pers, published August 6, says:
Copies may be sent free to for
mer employees who are in the war
service, and copies may be sent free
to libraries of institutions recognized
by the Government such as the Red
Cross, Y. M. c. A., X. of c., etc. Cop
les should not be sent to individual
soldiers unless formerly employed by
the newspaper"
The ruling of the War Industries
Board in reference to country week.
lies, published August %. provides:
mo publisher may give free copies
of his paper except for actual service
rendered and except to camp librar-
les and hospitals or canteens of or
ganizations recognized by the Govern
ment, etc.
mo publisher shall send his publ
cation TO any one below the public
subscription price"
It viii thus be seen that all news
papers which heretofore have been
sending free copies to the soldiers
abroad and all newspapers that have
been contributing a portion of their
subscription price in order that the
public might be encouraged to send
the newspapers to soldiers, will have
to discontinue those practices.
In other words. If the soldiers are
to have their "home papers" of which
they stand so much in need and which
give them so much delight and com
fort. the people will have to supply
the money for the full paid subscrip-
tions
The newspaper has no option IN the
matter, in view of the very business
like ruling OF the War Industries
Board. which is seeking to prevent
any consumption of print paper with

DRUGGISTS BUSY
AS NEVER BEFORE
Pharmacists Declare They Have
Never Known Such a State of
Things Before

Every drug store in Annapolis is
swamped with business. 1t is a case
of putting up prescriptions from early
morning until far into the night. Yes
terday Mr.. T. Kent Green, a leading
local druggist, said he had put up
$50 prescriptions up to nine o'clock
and some days this week more than
that. Other druggists are equally
rushed
Smiths Pharmacy has been sorely
handicapped this week owing to Phar-
macist Dammeyer having lost his
mother Conditions everywhere have
been most trying. Some outsiders
realizing the druggists were so han
dicapped, have volunteered their SER
vices and are selling at the cigar
counter. or dispensing such articles
as called for aside from prescriptions.
A leading local plumber has every
evening helped out at one of the drug
stores to tighten the burdens of the
proprietor.
Mr.. Green said last night this con-
dition of affairs is the worst he has
ever known, and he has been in the
drug business for 81 years. He said
the epidemic of 1891 did not even
nearly approach the present epidemic
and demand for medicines.
The greater menace is that the sup
pl yof needed drugs and medicines in
the present situation may not equal
the demand. When this supply gives
out there are no men to prepare and
manufacture needd articles for pre-
scriptions, and serious state of af-
fairs stares druggists in the face. In
short a drug famine threatens unless
the epidemic condition is alleviated.

DOCTOR GIVES MAN VIM HEpaTICA
 AS LAST RESORT
Mule Had Run Away With Law renee County Farmer Com pIicati0ns Arose That Baf- fled All Remedies Till Doc tor Gave Win Hepatica

w. w Kelley, aged 5S, well-known farmer, of Route No 3, Leona, Tenn, and former merchant, who was so bad ly hurt several years ago by a mule running away with him, and for long while in such a serious condition as { result of his injuries, has recovered and is at his work again.
 MT Kelley says: If anybody ever was in terrible condition, was, until my doctor discovered the right medi cine for me. had to quit farming and go into the merchandising business but my injuries were such that 1 broke down in my kidneys and suffered great ly from rheumatism. l got so run down that 1 could not sleep. Had to get up a dozen times night on ac. count of my kidneys. tried all sorts of tonics and remedies without any help at all Had to quit business.
 "One day my doctor gave me sam pie bottle of Yin HeDatica and told me to try that. And | did. It relieved me so much that I had my wife to take some of it, too, and 1 can safely say that anybody who is in a rundown con dition can not miss it if they take Yin Hepatica. It is certainly wonderful medicine, just as my doctor said it was.'
 This is just the way thousands and thousands talk about Yin Hepatica, because it is Natures own remedy for kidney, liver, stomach and bowel trou- bles; rheumatism, impure blood, nerv- eusness, sleeplessness, rundown, weak condition, etc. It is not patent nos trum, nor king cure-all, but com bination of eight of the finest herbal remedies known to medical science.
