Joke on Editor.

A well-known author, says a New York paragrapher, submitted an ar ticle on Zola to a magazine editor. The editor rejected it on the recommends ton of one of his assistants, who said it was too pessimistlc. He wrote to the author If you nave something else let me have it." The author cut the article into two parts. One he titled "TolstoyH The other "Balzac." In stead of the works of zola he substi- tuted the work of Tolstoy and Balzac. The editor accepted both articles.

because they love it's pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with

When cross, irritable, feverish or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue mothers, If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless fruit
laxative" and in few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the

Effective Immediately, No

the country and wiped out our ware
house and jobbers' stocks almost over
night, we were faced with the problem
or distributing-to the stricken dis
tricts-in the quickest possible man
ner-our daily output of VapoRub.
We solved this by offering to ship
direct to the retailers in these influ-
ebza districts. by parcel post prepaid.
Quantities of not more than three
dozen VapoRub in any one shipment,
and by shipping what was left from
our daily production to our jobbers
by express instead of freight.

problem for the. time being. Now,
however, we find that these small

and instead of distributing our goods
more quickly, they are really slowing
up the process.
We believe that we can serve you
better now by reverting to our former
policy of shipping exclusively thru the
jobber and, effective Immediately, no
more drop shipments will be made.
While we have put on night shift
and have, thereby. about doubled our
production, we are still unable to fill
our back orders and won't be able to
give each jobber all the VapoRub he
wants. Hence, it will be necessary for
the jobbers to continue distributing
VapoRub in small lots only. But we
will be able to furnish each jobber at
least twice the quantity of VapoRub
that he purchased for the correspond
ing month last year. SO there should
not be any difficulty in your getting
your pro rata share.
We feel that the public appreciates
the service that the retail and whole
sale drug trade have rendered the
country in this time of stress. We
wish to express to both branches of
the trade our thanks for the kind CO.
operation extended US in our effort to
meet this emergency.

ENGLAND AND THE
RUMANIAN JEWS.

Foreign Secretary Balfour's dec
laration that England will do all she
can to obtain just and lasting solu-
ton of the Jewish question in East
and Southeast Europe has, accord
ing to the Zionist Publicity Bureau,
created a deep impression amongst
the Jews of the Central and neutral
countries. The Jewish Press in
Europe sees in this declaration a
new proof of England's friendliness
towards the Jews, and it attacks
the Central Powers on account of
their attitude towards the Jewish
question in Rumania. The Neue
Lemberger Zeitung writes:
"The prestige of the Central Pow
ers has greatly suffered through the
Treaty of Bucharest, which has
aroused the anger of the Jews thru
out the whole world against them,
while England, by her new Declara-
ton, has won great political vic
tory"

teach the English language, and TO
acquaint the girls with American
ways and customs, when such IS
desired. The National Council OF
Jewish Women contemplates send
ing trained worker to assist IN
establishing this Amerlcanlzatlon
service.
The two sections of our Red Cross
Unit, that of the Hospital Car
ments, and that Of the Surgical
Dressing, are working in full force.
They will continue uninterrupted
through the year.
The Council of Jewish Women
stands ready to join in food conser-
walton efforts, in thrift stamp drives,
in industrial stirups for women; and
in all attempts to help our country
and our city.
The days of rest and leisure are
over for the year. Our minds are
alert to needs, our hearts are open
to sympathy. We are prepared to
move forward from one activity to
another-"our souls wings never
furled'.
The Council asks for the SYM
pathetic interest and the confidence
of the Minneapolis Jewish commun-
ity. It welcomes, also, all possible
voluntary contributions of money
from members and non-members
which will make possible the work
that confronts it on all sides, and
which without material support it
cannot undertake. All over the
world women are taking their places
side by side with men. Like all
other women, today, the Council
asks the power to meet its oppor-
tunity.

A NEW YEAR OF WORK FOR
THE COUNCIL OF JEWISH
WOMEN.
By Annalee Wolff.

The Council of Jewish Women is
about to commence it's regular work
for the year. Several committees
have continued their activities over
the summer-for example, those
which are directly connected with
war work, and the Juvenile Court
Committee, the Child Welfare Com
mittee, and the Americanization
Committee.
AS formerly, the work Of the sec
ton will be divided into three de-
observation-disclosures, educational,
and philanthropic. There will be en-
Engagements of the two former
branches, and such notifications in
our social work as present condl-
tons demand. The section plans,
in addition to it's regular class in
Jewish history in the various coun-
tries, class in Jewish religion. 1t
is hoped that the study of few OF
the vital truths of our religion will
satisfy a universal spiritual need.
The committee plans, perhaps in
conjunction with this group, class
for training religious-school teach
ers. The Council Sabbath-school in
North Minneapolis, and possibly one
in South Minneapolis will continue
as an important part of the Councils
ra1i0io,1c activities
The Minneapolis and St. Paul
sections arrange for speakers at the
State institutions where Jews reside,
to read prayers on the coming Holi-
days and to explain the significance
of those occasions.
A definite effort will be made to
increase the attendance at divine
services at Orthodox and Reform
Synagogues.
Being convinced of the far-reach-
ing efficacy of education in connec-
ton with all community reforms, the
Council of Jewish Women (Educa-
tional Department. plans a pro-
gramme that promises we'll for the
year.
The work of the Child Study Class
will be continued. Occasional ma
ture excursions" and visits to the
Art Institute, both directed by per-
sons who are qualified to point out
and discuss things of interest will
supplement last years work. One
or two members of the class have
pledged themselves to conduct
groups in other parts of Minneapolis.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

l his committee Will attempt 10 du-
Just difficulties between the school
and the home They will, also, keep
records of referred children, in view
of their talents, and of placing them
in business after their school term
is over.
Of great educational Importance
is the work of the Committee on
Moving Pictures. The managers
of theatres on the North Side have
expressed their willingness to re-
ceive suggestions for films, especial
ly for performances given particu-
larly for the entertainment Of the
young people of the neighborhood.
1t is a little difficult to distinguish
accurately between educational and
philanthropic work. The Council at
tempts no actual physical relief. Its
services even along the lines OF
medico-social service are largely pre-
ventive.
One committee will meet monthly
with representatives of the Infant
Welfare Society, and the University
Dispensary to learn the most eff
cient ways of assisting these large
trained organizations. Our Com
mittee visits homes to which they
are referred. They report upon the
social and housing conditions of
the family; and urge the members
who need medical care to attend
the clinics.
The Juvenile Court Committee
will continue it's very useful work,
with the addition of Boy Scout
troop, not limited to Juvenile Court
boys at all; but the purpose of
which is to provide method of
character-building by reason of the
discipline and healthful recreation
the Boy Scout movement supplies.
The Anti-Tuberculosis Committee
plans to proceed with it's educational
activities to which has been added
the showing of anti-tuberculosis
slides in the public parks. 1t is
hoped that more definite preventive
work can be accomplished by COM
mittee that will visit the homes of
consumptives, and will endeavor to
change housing-conditions, especial
ly ventilation, by reporting to the
central office, and that will also see
to it that in cases where the disease
is incipient, or where members of
a family are endangered, they will
be examined by physician at regu-
