Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores IN bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

and action taken. One Of these was the
case Of a social worker in ST. Paul who
had written letter to the Governor in
which he stated that although the Rus
sian Jews comprised only 2 per cent Of
the population they were corrupting the
other SO per cent. The matter was
taken up personally with the author of
the letter and he very promptly ad-
mitted that the statement was made
carelessly and ill-advisedly and he wrote
p second letter to the Governor in which
he withdrew the charge. The Social
Service Committee of the Lodge has been
made use of by the Juvenile Court in

tee for investigation and recommends
ton. Several public affairs were given
by the Lodge either itself or jointly
with the Jewish Welfare Board for the
boys who were in the service. Several
years ago the Lodge began discussing
the advisability of building a Jewish
Community center. The war necessi-
tated the temporary abandoning of this
idea. During the last year this matter
was revived and given considerable i'm
petus by the offer Of a $4,000 gift
from the Calmenson estate. The Lodge
has pledged itself to do all in it's power
to promote this project One event of
unusual interest in B'nai Birth circles
was the annual convention of District
Grand Lodge No. 6, I. O. B. B. This is
the first time it was held in St. Paul.

verdict was that this was one of, if not.

held.

A REVIEW BY GUsTAvUs LOEvINGER.


Communities, like individuals, get into
habits. Communities like individuals do
"pretty much the same thing" year after
year. For large part Of humanity one
might provide a printed form Of their
activities to be filled out each year, leav-
ing only an occasional blank to supply
a date or detail or minor variation.
Perhaps the same is true for most COM
munities.
Looking back over the past year in
st. Paul one might almost give an ac-
curate resume of it's activities by re-
printing under new date what was said
last year or the year before.
Is this a favorable or an unfavorable
diagnosis? Yes and no, each several
times. It all depends on the point Of
view. From one angle it might appear
that the patient has not been cured by
the treatment he has received; but from
another angle it is clear that the treat
ment has done him so much good that he
wants to continue it. One might be
pessimistic and conclude that the COM
munity suffers from incurable ills; or
one might be optimistic and assert that
although each year presents new prob
lens, they can still be solved by the old
formulas.
Jewish War Relief.
In St. Paul like in other communities
Jewish War Relief work has nearly be-
come a habit. With some it has become
a passion. So convinced was st. Paul
Jewry that this was the outstanding
work to be done that many other things
Jagged The campaign for War Relief
put on in 1918 dragged on into 1919 and
it was not until about July 1, of this
year that active collection Of funds
ceased. The result of the years effort
was sum close to 100000 from all the
various agencies. Plans are under way
for another "drive" this fall for an
even larger sum. Assuming that st.
Paul has Jewish population of 10000,
this means that during the last year the
community imposed upon itself and
paid voluntary tax of $500 for each
man, woman and child for a purpose
from which the community could derive
no immediate advantage, certainly no
immediate material gain. When it is real
lied that the Jew still has his local and
domestic enterprises and charities to
support and is not exempt from con-
tributions to non-Jewish philanthropies,
no Jew need be ashamed Of the past
record. But "from now on" what? The
need for War Relief has not yet abated

kind. The difference is not one of de-
gree but rather of definition. They
range of course all the way from those
who insist on separate Jewish SOW,
ereign national entity in Palestine to
those who hope only for freedom of mi
grafton and from persecution. The dis
trict during the year lost great many
who were simply paper members, but
thereby probably gained in stability and
strength. It held number of splendid
meetings during the year.
It planned and partially carried out an
educational program Of unusual merit.

Restoration Fund resulting in the col
lection of about $4,000.
Jewish Home for the Aged.
Considerable progress was made by
the Jewish Home for the Aged toward
the realization Of it's aim for the building
of the best home for the Jewish aged in
the United States. A large tract of
land was obtained opposite the State
Fair grounds and not far from Como
Park, in the so-called Midway District,
between St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Plans have been perfected to put on a
campaign whereby it is hoped to raise
$37, 10000 in st. Paul, similar amount
in Minneapolis and about $4,000 more
throughout the Northwest to build a
modern model Jewish home for the aged
to supply the need of the entire North
west.
Council of Jewish Women.
The Council Of Jewish Women is an
other organization that rendered it's an
nual quota of service to the community
Besides it's monthly meetings at which
programs Of both Jewish and general
interest were presented it was very
active until the ending Of the war in
Red Cross work. During the past sum-
mer it had charge of the vacation camp,
at which many Jewish mothers and
children obtained a much-needed out
ing. 1t is impossible to calculate the
amount of good accomplished in this
way. That it is substantial and worth
while is certain.
The Council also looked after the Jew
ish holiday needs of Jewish inmates in
the various state institutions.
Charitable Organizations.
The burden imposed on the various
Jewish charitable organizations such as
the Jewish Charities, the Ladies Aid, the
Bikor Cholem and others, was not only
not diminished but rather greatly in
creased. The increased demand was
met with commensurately increased
generosity and devotion. No matter
how frequent and heavy the levies on
time and treasure incident to the wag-
ing of war, the charitable work of the
city was kept up and, wherever needed,
extended or enlarged.
