THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

Profteering Everybody is trying
to get all he can out of the general
scramble. Business and profession,
capital and labor, producer and
gambler, worker and shirker, all are
in the same game.
The process is not changed bit
at the present time. If the mer-
chant is getting for certain article
of merchandise twice as much as he
did, say, ten or five years ago, the
professional man is getting twice
as much for his services, and the
laboring man twice as much for his
labor. And so we are exactly in the
same relation in which we were five
or ten years ago. Somebody al
ways starts the tug upward,
whether it is the farmer, or the
manufacturer, or the merchant, or
the laboring man, and all the rest
soon follow and catch up.
There is one small fraction of the
human species, such as clergymen,
clerks, and general office workers,
and government employees, who for
while lag some distance behind.
But sooner or later they, too, catch
up with the procession, and all is
once more properly adjusted.
Of course, there are times when
the profteer seeks to out-profteer
himself, grasp just little more than
he has been in the habit of doing.
That creates commotion, and stirs
up wrath for a while, even as at the
present time. But he always has
an excuse for so doing, real or fan
cied, true or false. Does not all
profteering require an excuse? Just
now it is the war, the reduced pro-
duction, the European demand, in
flated credit, cheap money (tne
most idiotic and hypocritical
phrase ever invented). The
profiteering manufacturers excuse
is, high wages The profteering
laborer's excuse is, high prices. The
profiteering landlords excuse is,
high everything. And SO everybody
profiteers just little more than
usual, everybody has his excuse,
everybody makes face and sticks
out his tongue at the other fellow,
and hypocrites are making a terrible
commotion, while as matter of
fact we are just where we have al
ways been.

IL Thin And Nervous,
TRY Phosphate

A French scientist has discovered an
organic phosphate which should be a
very effective remedy for weak nerves
sleeplessness, thinness and lack Of
strength, energy and vigor.
Its substance is described by special
lists as identical in composition with
certain vital elements naturally found
in brain and nerve cells and one which
when taken into the human system is
quickly converted into healthy living
tissue.
This phosphate is already widely
known among druggists in this country
as Bitro-% Phosphate and some physi-
clans claim that through its use
strength, energy, vigor and nerve force
are frequently increased in two weeks
time.
DIR. Frederick Kolle. editor Of New
York Physicians "Who's Who,n says
1t should he prescribed by every doctor
and used in every hospital in the Unit
ed States. As there are a great variety
of SO called phosphates, those who
wish to test this substance should be
sure TO get the genuine Bitro-Phos-
phate. (Adv)

Timely Thoughts.

Every first of January that we ar rive at Is an imaginary milestone on the turnpike track of human life; at once a resting place for thought and meditation, and n starting point for fresh exertiOn in the performance of our journey. The man who does not at least propose to himself to be bet ter this year than he was last, must be either very good or very bad, indeed And only to propose to be better iS something; if nothing else 1t Is an acknowledgment of our need to be so, which Is the first step towards amend ment. But, in fact, to propose to one self to do well, is In some sort to do well, positively, for there is no such thing as a stationary point in human endeavorS; he who Is not worse today than he was yesterday, Is better; and he who is not better, is worse- Charles Lamb.

NOW WE MAY KNOW BOSWELL
Description Of siooraphsr, Written by Hinssif, RsvsaIs Him as
 Very Human.

How pleasant 1t is to know that Boswell, who we haxe always thought was merely a kind of animated note book. was q droll, vain, bibulous. warm-hearted creature. q good deal of a Pepys, in fact. says Golfers Weekly. A. Edward Newton's entertaining Amenities of Book. Collecting" vol tune of essays which shows that . business man can writes better litera- ture than q hundred professors mulled into one, makes Boswell very human How jolly to hear that Boswell wrote press notices about himself! Here is one of his own blurbs. which we quote from MT. NewtOn's book:
 Boswell, the author, is 8 most ex- cellent man; he is of an ancient fam lily in the west of Scotland, upon which he values himself not . little. At his nativity there appeared omens of his future greatness. His parts are bright, and his education has been good. He has travelled in post chaises miles without number He Is fond of seeing much of the world. He eats of every good dish. especially apple pie. He drinks old hook. He has 6 very fine temper. He Is somewhat of a humor- ist and a little tinctured with pride. He has a good. manly countenance. md he owns himself to be amorOus. He has infinite vivacity, yet is observed at times to have a melancholy cast. He is rather fat than lean, rather short than tall, rather young than old. His shoes are neatly made. and he never wears spectacles."
 This brings the excellent Boswell very very close to us indeed; he might almost be a member of the Authors league. Especially apple pie, bless his heart.

Charm and Distinction.

Though the Hopi Indians are rated by Powell as of the same linguistic stock as the Shoshone, Ute and Co., manche, 1t Is known definitely that they are composite people, with a language in which are found Tanoan, Ptman and Keresan words. The Snake clan came from the North, possibly from the same stock as that which once peopled the great Mesa Verde rock houses. The Bear clan came from the eastward, undoubtedly of the people from which came the later day settlements of the upper Rio Grande valley in New Mexico. Most interest ing from local point of view Is the determination that the Water House (PatkD and Squash (Patun) clans came from the southward, from "the cactus country"

RsthsrhIthe old Saxon Town.

Rotherhithe is one of those old Eng lish towns, Saxon In origin, whose name lends itself to two chronological explanations. Red Rose Haven Is said to be the origin of Rotherhithe, from q Red Rose signboard which used to mark some seaman's tavern centuries ago. Probably the more accurate yer sion points to the old Saxon word "rsdhra," 6 mariner, and "hith," a haven, as accounting for the word. Certainly Rotherhithe had a great reputation for the quality of her sea- men; Sir John Leake, the hero of La Hogue. hailed from the old port on the Thames. In Pepys' day 1t was com monly known as Redriff, and occurs under that name in the Diary on many occasions.

The Pork Barrel.

The phrase pork barrel" originated from an old saying of the people In the farm districts that they had no need to worry on account of severe winter. as they had their barrels filled with salted pork or other meats. From this to the sharing of political plums Is but . step. When appropriations for Improvements are made by con- gress or legislatures, such as post of fioe improvements, and river and har- bor work, each representative strives to secure 8 part of the appropriation for his district, 50 that his constitu- snts may share in the financial distri- button in the form of contracts or labor.

The pathologic condition of the appendix was discovered accident ally in one case In three of the cases consultants did not accept his diag- nosis until two of the apparently doomed patients regained their health after the removal of the appendix.
