zI0N|STS PLAN WATER SUPPLY
FOR PALESTINE FROM the nile

Moses solved the first water sup
ply problem of Palestine, when the
exodus from Egypt reached the
| desert Of the Sinai peninsula, prob
lem which has been acute in the Holy
Land ever since, although the country
has a heavy yearly rainfall, which
can be converted into a tremendous
water supply, in the opinion of engin
GERS of the Zionist organization oil
America.
From the average yearly rainfall
26 inches, enough water could be
stored up in Palestine to support a
population of 15,0OO,0 900, according to
James Haines, secretary of the Zionist
Society of Engineers, which is laying
plans for a water supply system 1or
the Holy Land as part OF the restor'
alton work necessary to make the
land ready for the hundreds OF thous-
ands of Jews the society expects Will
emigrate there as soon as the political
status of the country is defined.
Allowing for so per cent. loss
through evaporation and running OFF,
Mr.. Haines has figured that the year
ly rainfall over the 10000 square miles
of Palestine will provide a future
population of 100000 with daily
per capita supply of 2,O55 gallons
The average daily consumption IN
New York city at present is esumat-
ed at about 500 gallons.
An Ancient Prediction
Utilization of the Nile as source
of Palestine's water supply, predlcted
thousands of years ago, when the
ancients were combating the same
problem, was accomplished by a re-
marksble engineering achievement Oh
General Allenby's army. Pipes were
laid from the Sweet water canal
near Kantara, which was its source IN
the Nile, and water pumped at the
rate of several million gallons day
across the Suez canal, through the
desert, supplying the lower portions OF
Palestine.
That the example of the British
royal engineers will be followed and
the waters of the Nile tapped by the
Zionists in their plans to supply lower
Palestine, including the Sinai PENN
sula. with large amounts of water for
irrigation, was the opinion of Mr..
Haines. In the Sinai peninsula alone
there are between 5000 and 5000
square miles requiring irrigation.
While irrigation of lower Palestine
will require drawing on the Nile. up
per Palestine need not go out of the
country, as the tributaries Of the
Jordan for natural basin, which
will be ideal for the irrigation pro-
jects Of the Zionists, which will be
put into operation along with other
reconstruction plans through the So
100000 Palestine restoration fund be-
ing raised throughout the country
this year.
Because of the rainfall of Palestine
is punched in practically five months
of the year. the inhabitants have had
recourse to cisterns, in which to store
their supply for the year. Most of
these cistens have been found to be
filthy and breeding places for the mo-
squitoes which have carried malaria
over all Palestine and made one of
the most serious sanitary problems
medical officers in Palestine have had
to combat.
While these cisterns are being
cleaned out and petrolized by the Brit
ish and Zionists medical engineers
call for their abolition and the install

Food Habits

We all fall into food habits II is
a habit to drink two cups of coffee
for breakfast. to eat several dishes
similar in food value at the same
meal, to drink heavily with our
meals instead of before or after.
There are a lot Of things we eat or
drink, or do not eat or drink, simply
through habit, 1t Is well to estab-
lish our food customs on a sound,
health-giving basis.
When nervous, overworked people
go to rest cure a part of the
treatment is apt to be nourishing
beverages served at frequent in
tervals There are lot OF nervous,
overworked people outside of sani-
tariums who would benefit from
similar treatment self administered
at home Eating between meals Is
a bad habit IL II disturbs the regu-
larity of the amount eaten at
meals, but a mildly stimulating or
nourishing beverage between meals
generally proves to be a tonic that
stimulates the stomach to action
and gives rather than clogs appe-
tite. This is especially true of n hot
drink an hour before lunch OF din
ner.
Hot milk and tea are commonly
used as between-meal beverages,
hot milk is especially recommended
at bedtime. A good addition to
this list is beef tea, a cup OF which
can be made i'm a second from a beef
bouillon cube and boiling water.

If We Lived on the Moon
By GARRETT P. SERVISS

the sun sank behind the sharp
lunar horizon full night would come
like a clap OF thunder. Only the
starlight would remain bathing the
astounding lunar landscapes. But
no-to the starlight would be added
the earthlight-i. e., the sunlight
reflected from our planet This
would be many times brighter than
moonlight is to us. so that, as far
as illumination from the sky was
concerned, you would have . suf-
of the lunar night
A TwO-wEEK DAY.
Lunar night and lunar day each
lasts about two weeks at any given
place on the moon, so that about a
fortnight after your arrival you
would have passed from lunar mid
day to lunar midnight, at which
time the earth would have become
'fulr' and would be shedding down
upon you at least fourteen times as
much reflected light as the full
moon sheds upon the earth. All
this while, remember, the earth
teriously changing its form with
out any change of position other
than slight circling about the
zenithal point.
But perhaps the most marvellous
spectacle of all remains to be de-
scribed. 1t is the rotation of the
earth on it's axis, which would be
startlingly visible to you from your
post on the moon. The moon ro-
tates on its axis only once n month,
the same time that 1t takes to circle
round the earth, the consequence
being that to us II does not appear
to rotate Mt all. for one side of 1t is
always kept toward us. But the
earth makes complete rotation
every twenty-four hours, and as you
would see IL from the moon, IL would
turn an angular distance equal to
the whole breadth of North America
In three hours. The Atlantic ocean
would roll past under your eyes in
three hours more, and in ten hours
after France had passed the merid-
Ian Japan would arrive upon Il.
This fndescribable panorama OF
continents and oceans following
one another In stately procession
would be quadrupled in beauty and
wonder by the variegsted and con-
tfnually shifting colors. lights and
shadows presented by the different
parts OF the living earth, from the
dazzling whiteness Of the polar
SHOWS, through the greens and
browns of the habitable regions,
the tawny yellow of the deserts,
the blues OF the oceans, and the
peerly hues where storm clouds
were sweeping slowly over vast
areas. These are but few of the
marvels OF a moon-view OF the
earth

CLEVELAND, Oct. lit is de-
pressing fact that coffee making is
not what it used to be in this
country.
The coffee in the raw is doubtless
up to the same old standard, but
what is being done to the coffee in
pots and percolators in these United
States of America is a sin. 1t
really should be made a crime. The
coffee drinkers of the nation should
get together and pass laws to make
the abuse of coffee in the cooking
an offense punishable by deporta-
tion to Germany. Bad coffee maxi
ers would be perfectly at home in
Germany.
Coffee making used to be one OF
the most magnificent of frts in
America. Now you can probably
name the truly great coffee makers
Of the country in a short paragraph.
Ny friend, Colonel Bozeman Bull
ger. of Lynbrook, Long Island. is
one. My friend, Colonel Bulger, can
take a quart of coffee and a pint
of water and with a little stewing
produce an elixir. that will grow
hair on billiard ball.
He is, alas! one of the few sur
vivors of a vanishing race.
- The coffee you get nowadays,
especially in hotels and restaurants,
Is a weakish matter and not good
to the taste. They make 1t early
in the morning in many places and
let II stand all day, merely adding
water to the exhausted grounds as
Fast as one boiler full of coffee IL
drawn of. 1t is further hampered
by species of cream cut down to
about twenty proof by the addition
of water. Yet nowadays In hotels
and restaurants they charge you
from 10 to 40 cents per cup for this
singular mixture.
In the old days you could get a
cup of the best coffee that ever
came out of a pot for a nickle. In
those days man couldn't lug
away 40 cents worth of coffee In
a tub. There were places which
even threw in couple OF dough-
nuts with every cup of coffee, and
"donking" was a popular pastime.
"Donking'' was dipping the
doughnut in the coffee.
Conservation OF coffeee is doubt
less one reason for the decline Of
COHee InbklUE. ntf 'i'V
advance of the percolator Is partly
responsible. The percolator causes
coffee makers to get careless and
to permit the coffee to attempt too
much for itself.
