FIERY, ITCHY SKIN
QUICKLY SOOTHED
BY THIS SULPHUR


Mentho.Sulphur, a pleasant cream,
will soothe and heal skin that is irri-
tated or broken out with eczema; that
is covered with ugly rash or pinples,
or is rough or dry. Nothing subdues
fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a
noted skin specialist.
The moment this sulphur preparation
is applied the itching stops and after
two or three applications, the eczema
IS gone and the skin is delightfully."- clear
and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as
skin remedy because it destroys the
parasites that cause the burning, Itch
ing or Disagreement. Mentho-Sulphur
always heals eczema right up,
A small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sul-
phur may be had at any good drug
store.

FAKEPS NULCTING

Oil Stocks, Land Scheme And

BY ROY j. GIBBONS
NEA Service Writer

FIT. WORTH, Tex, Dec. =
When the mailed fist of the gov
eminent at last descended, there
was a wild scurrying for cover
amid the ranks Of fake oil stock
promoters here.
For some time previous, be
cause of their falsely conceived
immunity, they had been watch
ing Investigators with disdain.
So calloused had they become
that visitation by postal inspec-
tors to their haunts was profita
bly, converted into an advertis-
ing plea for help.
COMING AND GOING
"The big interests are after us.
Send us more money. We need
your help. This is crucial time.
Don't let them get us. If they
do, your savings will be wiped
out"
Such were the petitions by mail
and telegraph. And a majority of
duped investors clicked in again.
This gives but faint conception
of the high-handed practices here
by those who promised rivers Of oil
and gave but teaeups of oil and riv
crs of tears
The government, when it got
inkling of the enormity of the task
of prosecution which faced its legal
machinery, broadcast an S. o. S
call for help itself to Washington

The task they faced was incon-
ceivable. But splendid work had

spirit is not-as big as in the days
of ,76. We have made natural
progress material progress
but we have not advanced very
far, even from that low step of
those early days, up the ladder
of morals. Our social aims are
zero.
Our leadership rests with the
rich, with those who have be-
come rich with the growth of the
country and whose main aim
seems to be to forget the sterling
qualities of their grand mothers
at the washtub. If they believe
they can hide their shortcom-
ings under a cloak of snobbish
exclusiveness, they will never be
able to escape the responsibility
and the obligation of contribut-
ing something to the welfare of
the state and the community. If
they fail, there will be little hope
for the coming generation. They
must learn to replace provincial
prejudices with American ideals.

The Denver Jewish news., 1923-09-06


(N To prove how diff
ferent this meet
ing was from other meetings i
have attended, l shall start with
my arrival. l received call
from Rabbi Halpern to be at his
home by eight o'clock but as j
am accustomed to the punctual
meetings among our people, l
strolled into the home of Rabbi
Halpern at 8:15 o'clock expect
ing not to see anybody. Much
to my surprise and astonish-
ment, / found the house crowded
with men, representatives Jews
of Denver and discovered that al
though it was only S:15 the
meeting had been called to order
and was one of the stragglers.
Ibid not understand the nature
of the meeting when Rabbi Hal
perm asked me to come nor did
anyone else there know what the
Rabbi expected of us, and we all
waited impatiently for Rabbi
Halpern to explain to u.s. his wish.
Rabbi Halpern who is in a
longtime resident and orthodox
Rabbi of Denver is compelled to
leave us because of his health.
During the many years of his re-
siding in Denver he has had
many problems to solve, pertain
ing to the many institutions
which Denver possesses. Cases
which prove difficult to solve by
the authorities Of different insti-
tutions, have been brought to
him. He has dealt with them all,
cleverly and justly. Rabbi Hal
perm is one of the old country
.Rabbis in whose hands had been
placed the fate of many of our
people. Therefore he is quite
capable of dealing with human
nature and possesses the ability
of arbitration.
Rabbi Halpern pictured to his
audience the necessity of con-
tinuing the work that he had be-
gun. He felt it necessary that a
representative body of Denver
Jewry be elected to deal with
matters which are above the
heads of the average man. The
idea is not to oppose the institu-
tions, for the world at large
knows well, that, the Jewish
institutions are founded with
spirit of "rochmones," but the
idea is to cooperate with them.
A similar instance occurred in
the sixteenth century, when an
alliance for communal purposes
was formed under the name OF
Vaad Arba Aratsoth, or the "Un-
ion of the Four Districts, which
for quite sometime ruled Juda-
ism and it's organizations. At its
head was an elective president
and the tribunal over which he
ruled had even criminal jurisdic-
tions.
And so within a few short
hours, this group of men full OF
enthusiasm and spirit bount
themselves into a League Of
Mercy to do good, for both the
individual and also the institu
ton. Let US hope that this won
!. derful organization shall fulfil
their promises and grow into

annals of crime were rather tame
compared with the every day oc-
currences of today. We have be-
come so accustomed to reading
Of the most cold -blooded MUIR
ders that we are no longer horri-
fed and we will, in time, become
so calloused to the taking of hu-
man life that it will have no more
to us, than the killing of
a fly. 4
This is not an exaggeration.
1t is a psychological fact that the
constant association Of thought
will enable US to accept even the
most unnatural conG.tions. But.
to return to those early days
The mind. of the people then
was occupied with the struggle
for existence. Even the most
adventurous characters had to-
turn to some serious problem of
life. The newspaper files of those
days will reveal that the arrival
of new printing press or even
of new brewing machinery was
of greater Importance and made
more interesting news than the
not infrequent shooting scrapes
which were unavoidable in new
country which naturally had be-
come the hiding place of many
fugitives from Justice.
Men then. outnumbered women
as they did for many years there
after. Prostitution was consid-
cred almost a legitimate profess
sion and still, women were more
highly respected then than now.
Mothers who ,braved the hard
ships of transcontinental travel
in covered wagons and escaped
the scalping knives of rowing In
dians were glad to reap the
golden harvest as, cooks or wash
erwomen for the nncouth miner.
In spite Of an this, these
0rapdmothers ~ the present
generation hpd zloftier ideals
than their descendants of today.
With all their hardships. they
found time to build schools,
churches and theaters and tolay
the foundation for the material
wealth which we enjoy today.
Those early-day adventurers
who laid no claim to moral
status, had at least some respect
for law and order as the means
of their self preservation. 1t
was one of these early miners
who brought the-6rst art treas
ure to Denver, who b..:lt the first
theater-the Tabor Grand-and
it was one of these who brought
the first grand opera company to
the city. Saloons and gambling
houses were then running wide
open but there was just as great
an art appreciation in Denver as
we have here today.
Frank Joslin produced comic
operas successfully with local
talent and found the support of
the community without being a

Great circulations are .builded

who are able to handle them in

means nothing less than a, domi-

tions give the people what they
want and, like any other busi-
ness, they follow the path of
least resistance. Their claim that
without unlimited p u bile ity

truth. Newspaper publicity also

The harm done by the spread

The obsession for sensational
news has Become so great that
nothing else remains in the eye
of the modern reporter. Its eff
feet on the immature mind, and
most people never reach a ripe
mental state, is undermining the
morals of society. Complaints
against the yellow press are con-
stantly voiced but the efforts of
religious organizations to stem
this tide have always failed be-
cause the good news they tried
to substitute was always so
colorless and so lacking in rep
resenting the real constructive
spirit of the times that even the
most well-meaning could not
stomach it.
What we need is not news
papers which will suppress the
news, no matter what it's nature
may be, but papers which are
willing to pay the price for a bet
ter education of the people and
which will wean them away
gradually from the morbid and
sensational scandals, and pay
less attention to the racy gos-
sips of private shortcomings.
The argument that a news
paper. is a strictly money-making
business proposition and that it
gives people what they want is
just as untenable as the argu-
ments which we heard against
