Americas Debt to Jews.

Jews figured very prominently in the
discovery Of America by Columbus ac-
cording to Rabbi David Philipson Of
Cincinnati. The first man who stepped
on the shore Of the new world was the
Interpreter of the expedition. Luis de
Torres. Jew. Bernai. the ship sur
geon. was also Jew. us were several
members of the crew.
1t is also now said to be established
that the long-credited belief that Queen
Isabella pawned her Jewels to furnish
Columbus with the funds for the trip
is a legend. These funds, 1t is said,
were furnished by two Jews. Luis de
Santangel and Gabriel Sanchez. A let
ter by Columbus to Sanchez is still ex-
tant, in which he gives some account
Of his exploits. NJ ~

Contradiction In Berlin.

Fats, oils. clothes, milk for babies
and other necessities are scarce in
Berlin, and SO high-priced that the
poorer people can hardly afford them
at all; yet the shop windows along
Unter den Linden are full of beautiful
goods.
Housing conditions pinch despite the
fact that Berlin and other cities have
less population than before the war.
Every candy store window in Berlin
has crowd before 1t all day long.
Adults, as well as children. stand and
stare at the displays of sweets.
Movies-most Of them immoraEare
always crowded. Twelve new moving
picture houses are to be erected. The
most popular firms are those ION the
ragged edge" a.
Theaters are crowded. and 20 is the
opera, as rule.

Plant Tenacious Of LIE.

There is a creeping moss found In
Jamaica, in Barbados and other is-
lands of the West Indies which IS
called the life tree" or, more prop
erly, the ''life plant" It's powers of
vitality are said to be beyond those of
any other plant. 1t is believed to be
indestructible by any means ex-
cept immersion in boiling water
or the application of redhot iron.
1t may be cut up and divided in any
manner, and the smallest shreds will
throw out roots, grow and bud. The
leaves of this extraordinary plant have
been planted in a close. alright, dark
box, without moisture of any sort, and
still they grew.

were many hundreds Of the poor little
corpses. II is true that there is a

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. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, IN
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble Is 50
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons 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.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for e
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
