In the war-torn sections Of Central and

Of their own, we're compelled to under

them.
Col. Levy referred to the great work
of "Jimmie" Becker, son Of a rich
Chicago banker, who refused life OF
ease and as a member Of Herbert
Hoover's relief forces abroad brought
back to this country such a soul-stir-
ring appeal that julius Rosenwald, the

II doctors advertised, would no
the public be enormously benefited
Not flamboyant, egotistical adver'
Using, but dignifed matter contain
ing statements Of truth that few
besides doctors know.
DIR. Royal S. Copeland, health
commissioner Of New York City
thinks they should. In an address
before club, DR.. Copeland called
attention to the fact that as soon
as the public learned that DIR. Lo-
REM, who recently arrived from vi
emma, could cure certain forms OF
paralysis, $4,000 people hocked to
him for treatment. There were other
surgeons in New York just as cap
able as the Viennese physician, but
they never made known to the pub
lie that they could cure paralysis,
and so the people remained in igno-
rance, the health commissioner de-
clared.
"There is something wrong with
the system that makes il impossible
for the sick or the crippled person
not to know that he can be healed.
And the fault is with the medical
profession, which has been unwilling
to advertise what it can do.
'Dr. Lorenz did not bring with
him any greater ability than at least
twenty surgeons in this city possess.
1t was because our doctors or our
methods did not bring home to the
people what can be done that we
went to the distinguished foreigner
to hear what he would tell us.
"Here we come to the problem of
advertising" he said. "The medical
profession, through the ages, has
chosen to make itself a secret thing.
The doctor has been looked upon as
a sort Of miracle man. He has hid
den his wisdom behind the veil of
silence. An air of mystery has sur
rounded the profession and we have
developed code of ethics. This, /
believe. is the most antiquated, moss
covered and germ ladened institu-
ton in the worldp
He said that if the public were
given more information about can
Ger, the disease would never reach
the cancerous stage. A woman who
has tumor, he said, usually keeps
the fact hidden until it develops into
a cancer, when it is too late. Any
cancer, said Commissioner Cope
land, is durable in the beginning. The
public must be taught that, he said.

trouble we never had fcodless day
and II we did we never had two OF
them In succession.
But that is exactly what Is going on
In Central and Eastern Europe today.
Literally thousands Of innocent chill
dren are dying for lack Of nourish-
ment They are wandering about eat
ing roots, grass, anything to try to
satisfy the growing pangs Of hunger.
The same thing is true Of men and
women. Homeless, clothed in rags,
living on anything that offers even the
meanest nourishment, they are stumb-
ling on praying for the relief that
must come IL they are to live.
This is the reason for the campaign
for funds by the American Jewish
Relief Committee in Kentucky the lat
ter part of March.

From an old, old almanac Of loo
years ago the following price list i
taken:
Homemade whisky, 20 cents pei
gallon.
Apple brandy, same.
Roads were not marked. Planks
were laid down broadwise and run
over until they sank in the mud. The
road was then taken up, thrown
away and new plank laid down.
The farmers did not 90 to the gro
Gerry store every day for provisions.
There we're no grocery stores to go
to, and every farmer cured his own
meats and raised his own wheat and
corn.
The meats were bacon, side meats,
streak lean and streak-o'- fiat,
smoked hams and sausage, venison
and occasionally roast of beef for
Sunday when the preacher came
around or there was a wedding. The
chickens were worth so cents a doz-
en- when they were sold at all. Eggs
retailed for to cents a dozen.
Corn was 81 per barrel, and oats
were Is cents per bushel.
Brown sugar retailed at 5 cents
per pound, and maple sugar at a
cents. Tree molasses, or maple
syrup, sold at 80 cents per gallon.
Everybody picked their own geese
for own feather beds. Squirrels were
so plentiful that they sold for 8
cents dozen when they sold at all.
The men wore brown jeans for
everyday wear, and blue jeans with
brass buttons for Sunday-go-to-
meeting. Green walnut bark dyed
all the Jeans. and everybody wore
boots. When young man was par
ticularly anxious to look sweet in
his girls eyes he wore boots with
red tops and took his girl up behind
him on his horse when they went to
church.-Glasgow Times.

/ pie In Europe
Declares That The Jewish People In
America Have Always Respond
ed Literally To All Efforts

Probably no man in this country is
better acquainted with conditions in

work Of that organization which is
seeking to raise $14,OO0,O0O for the

Kentucky's share in the national

S150,OO0 to the fund. Fifty thousand
dollars Is to be raised in the state and
100000 in Louisville. While the cam
paign is under the direction of the
Jewish people and subscriptions will
be solicited largely from them, all who
are in sympathy with the movement
may contribute and their money will
be gratefully received.
The letter from Secretary Hoover
follows:
Dear Mr.. Brown:
Each year when the American jew
fish Relief Committee has made its
appeal, have had the honor of COM
mending its work to the American
people and likewise each year l have
observed the continued necessity and
the continued high efficiency Of its
service.
ut has always maintained a broad
mindedness in the matter Of race and
religion and has given its support,
both financial and moral, TO every ef-
fort in the alienation Of human dis
tress.
II trust the Committee will have the
same support again that 1t has had
hitherto.
