how do the observance of the Thoroh
the law of God, through the great
solidarity which unites all the de-
scendants of Jacob in joy and sor-
row. Did not old Jacob undergo all
the prosecutions and humiliations as
do his children today? He was
hunted by his own brother, and
sought refuge at the house of La
ban. But at each time the grand
son of Abraham, founder of the Jew
ish nationality, felt the humiliation
of the descent from the top of the
ladder, he found consolation in the
resolve that he would soon mount 1t
again, and here is the whole secret Of
Israel's persistence and hope. All the
nations of the world live and hope,
while we Jews hope and live! What
a differences! No life for hunted Is
rael without hope! Our sages, who
excelled in allegoring and Oriental
maxims, assure us that the Bible,
which compares the Jews at times
to the stars above, and at times to
the dust below. breaches to us that
whenever our brethren do what is
right and good, that they soar, like
the stars, to the skies; but when Is
rael forgets his duty to mankind, he
sinks to the dust.

Heaven? Not at all! The place
looked lonely, with a few gloomy
stones. which the Patriarch had gath
cred to sleep on. Jacob proclaim
ed, then, the first lesson to posterity
that the temple of the Lord needs
neither pomp nor expensive architec-
ture-that the All Mighty Architect
of the Universe can reveal himself
even in such a democratic and isolat-
! ed place as that which Jacob trans
formed through prayer and holiness
to most sacred house of the Lord.
In dedicating this synagogue we
have at heart the noble lesson of our
Patriarch, namely. that simplicity
and holiness are linked together, in
Judaism, at least, because the wor-
shipper makes the place of worship,
and not the stained glass windows,
not the architectural luxuries within
and without the building.
The Talmud, our great collection
of oral laws, assures us, Whatever
happened to Jacob, happened also
later to his children" What a say

climbed on the gigantic ladder of

gained steps, and we begin again

we do our duty as Jews and citizens

EXPLAINS CAUSE or COLDS
Lowered Vitality Due to Many Condl-
tons, Frequently Responsible for
Annoying AiIment.

Colds are caught by a combination
OF two conditions, first, the presence
OF certain germs in the nose and
throat, and second, by a change in the
blood supply to the membrane of these
parts.
Rossbach found by experiments on
rabbits that chilling the outside of
the body drives the blood inwards,
causing congestion of the air pas
Sages
Recently some authorities have
demonstrated a lack of circulation
in the nasal passage produced by
chilling The final effect, however,
seems to be the same whether the
condition is congestion or bloodless-
ness.
In a perfectly healthy person these
conditions are controlled sufficiently
by vasomotor action of the blood yes
sells to prevent injury to the mem
brane. If, however, the action of
the blood vessels is not I'D to nor
mai, these conditions may continue
I'LL the membrane is injured by in
hammation so that it loses its resist
ance and even the germs commonly
present obtain a foothold. This sub
normal action of the vasomotor sys-
tenn is caused by chronic catarrh, ad-
enoids, enlarged tonsils. nasal obstruc-
lions, general nervousness, indiges-
ton, lack of exercise or proper rest,
in fact anything which lowers the gem
eral vitality CIR the local vitality of
the membrane.

the supply was exhausted-all save
half-bottle Of real stuff. Calli%g in

have cute little taps stuck into the wall
or into the washbowl from which ice
water flows when the button is pressed.
This was the last drink and Sir Arthur

Stolen Fruit

In how many things is each day like
its predecessor? And in how many
things are this years days like the
days of ten years ag0-or longer?
Just think of this in your own rou-
tine and habits. Then. if you wish to
have an interesting experience. see in
how many ways you could change this
monotony and sameneSS without disad-
vantage and with positive advantage in
many cases - and then make the
change.
True, it will come almost as q shock,
the realization that many confirmed
habits. customs viewpoints have been
and are time wasted. strength wasted.
money wasted, useless and needless
drains and strains. And if you are sin
cere and determined in the conversion
of your mode of life in the daily little
things, you will be astonished to find
that some of your most cherished Gus
toms are the most reasonless.
The discipline of changing will be
good; the resulting saving of time will
be better.-EXchange.

ALASKAN GOLD-LODE MINING
Already Profitable, the Completion Of
the Government Railroad Win Aid
in Its Development

Twenty-Five gold-lode mines we're op-
Grated in Alaska In 1918, according
to the United States geological sur
vey, department Of the interior. There
was also a production from seven
Observation-Disclosures mines or small
mines that were not In regular oper-
alton. The value Of the lode-gold out
put decreased from S4,5S1.4o3 in 1917
to s3.473. 317 in 1918, owing partly to
the disaster at the Treadwell mine in
April, 1917, and partly to curtailment
of operations, especially in the Juneau
district, because of shortage of labor
Southeastern Alaska. especially the
Juneau district is still the only cen
ter of large quartz-mining operations
In the territory. Next in Importance
is the Willow Creek lode district. The
production in the Fairbanks district
decreased materially, as the lode-mine
owners of Fairbanks are still await
ing the cbeapening of operating costs
especially Of fuel, which Is expected
on the completion Of the government
railroad. In 1918 the average value Of
the gold and silver contents for all
siliceous ores mined was S1.70 ton !;
the average for 1917 was S1.37 ton
These averages reflect the dominance
in the total lode production of the
large tonnage produced from the low
grade ores Of the Juneau district.

COLLEGE PRESIDENT
OUTLINES REMEDY
Teffs How High Cost Of Living Prob
lens May Be Solved by Every
Man and Woman.

President Nicholas Murray Butler.
OF Columbia University. in a recent
discussion OF the high living costs
said:
Furnishing profteers is a good
thing, but it won't reduce the cost of
living. If We had all their boarded
goods it would do little good.
Only the operation of inexorable
economic laws can bring US back to
tolerable conditions. The remedy is
TO save, to practice public economy
and private thrift. We must save and
invest In productive industry. Bor
rowing for non-productive reasons
means bankruptcy"
IN the opinion Of the best econo-
mist in the United States the peo-
Pies greatest weapon against high
prices Is the governments Thrift
campaign. Every family should have
budget just as every successful
business has a budget The first
thing on that budget should be the
amount to be saved from the weekly
or monthly income-not the amount
to be spent. Make what you save
govern the amount you spend, not
what you spend govern the amour:
you save.
War Savings Stamps bring

securities. The dollar you save todar
may be worth twice as much f,a

Absence Sometimes Evidence Of Tact.

Sometimes it's an evidence of tact
when people absent themselves. Only
big people can do it. Children and
childish adults have to hang around
with open mouths and staring eyes
lest something escape them. They are
the omnipresent nuIsances that make
you want to tell them things. Really
big people can afford to let others do
few things without permission.
What others do ought not to detract
vitality from what you 90 unless what
you attempt is so small that it takes
little to overshadow it. Besides it's
only fair that others should have an
opportunity of showing what they can
do. The world will think more Of you
If you give it chance to pass judy
ment on it's efforts. And what is more
mere obstruction won't stop things
anyway. The best way to make things
popular is to furnish sufficient unjust
opposition. The persecution occasion
ed makes friends for the other side.

LEAVE OUT "LOVE" ELEMENT
GaIiIean Marriage Celebrated With
out Bride or Bridegroom Having
Sight of Each Other.

Marriage in the ancient cities Of
Galilee has an element of surprise for
beth bride and bridegroom: they are
nor permitted to see each otI!er until
after the ceremony. In the Galllean
wedding that Miss Genevieve CoWleS
describes in Asia magazine the bride
was less than fifteen years Old. The
guests assembled with gracious auo
reserved Hebrew situations leaving
their shoes at the door and entering
softly. \ girl would pause gently amt
make a little reverence. then she would
kiss lightly the tips of her fingers ana
extend the palm Of the hand TO give
the softeSt touch to one guest AMI
then to another ana ano.her. with par
ticular Difference to the old women.
The men and boys gathered in The
large room of the rabbi. the women
and girls in The small room.
\ golden silence prevailed for long
intervals while the guests smoked the
nargile. or Turkish pipe. three or four
of which sutficed for the company,
since numerous mouthpieces enabled
as many as five people to smoke at the
same time from one nargile. The men
wore brighter costumes than the wom-
en-. and here and there a gown of baby
blue or bright pale pink added vivid
touch, but in general the dresses OF
the guests were of subdued colors.
The silence melted into sonorous
Hebrew. spoken or half chanted, with
rising and falling inflections--until at
last. like rest in music, came the sol
enn pause and the great moment. Be
fore the future bridegroom stood a
tall rabbi holding by one end a ker-
chief. The boy held the other end
according to the form Of the civil con-
tract and promised to be a faithful
husband to the girl he had never seen.
The rabbi then entered the room Of
the women. where Esther, the bride
stood waiting bashfully, her face COW
cred with a long veil, and gave her
one end of the kerchief She, as the
boy had done, now held one end while
the rabbi held the other BY accept
ing the kerchief she silently gave her
consent to the civil contract that
bound her to the man whom she had
never seen.
There was no sign of love between
tho two betrothed. as between lovers
in the West, but in order to annul the
marriage it would be necessary to OBJ
tain the consent of a tribunal Of rob-
his.-Youth's Companion.
