Poland Communities Go.

N; Farbstein, reporting for the Jewish
National council of Poland, says, 1.-The
persecution suffered by the Jews under
the present political regime has given
an immense impetus to the emigration
movement. The general political sltua-
ton and fear Of pogroms on the one
hand, and on the other hand the abs0-
lutte stagnation of trade and industry,
have combined with the Balfour decla-
ration n the fear OF Bolshevism and
conflscation to create an intense long
ing for Palestine, so much so tina large
groups, and in many cases whole Jew
ism communities have firmly resolved to
leave Poland and emigrate to Pales-
tine" Five thousand Jewish families
In Warsaw had registered by April 1
Tor an early migration to Palestine. The
ilgures for the rest Of Poland are not
obtainable. but the Indications are that
the registrations are in proportion to
the size OF the Jewish population In
every town of Poland.
The Palestine immigration movement
In West Galicia Is even stronger than
in Poland. Here also large communi-
ties are in readiness to 20. and the
Jews OF this country have filed strong
protests against the plan to limit Pail
estine immigration to $4,000 n year.
Pioneer groups have been organized in
20 towns In West Galicia and the report
IRON that country says, I'VE are over
whelmed with applications from men Of
scientific and technical training who
desire to follow their professions in
Palestine" From 5000 to 5000 enRi-
neers who were with the 1echo- Sloyak
army are anxious to join this migration,
and the Jews OF Galicia and Poland IA

Dor army, because they believe that In
THIS way 1t Will be possible to
move In large masses. The same
thing Is true In Western Galicia.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful II tS
In Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most ciiclch'
disinfec,ant and purifier IN nature,
nut few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take OF il the better; II is not a
drug AT all, hut simply absorbs the
ga scs and impurities always present in
the stomach and intcstines and carries
them out OF the system.
Charcoal SwcctcnS the breath after
smoking, and after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables
Charcoal eTcctuaily clears and i'm
| proves the complexion. il whitcns the
/ teeth and further acts AS a natural
and cmincntly safe cathartic.
! 1t absorhs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
disinfccts the mouth and throat from
the poison of Catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or, another, but probably the best
; charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozcngcs: they
arc composed OF the finest powdered
willow charcoal. and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
lozengcs, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
