QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Poor Teeth

GUU8 ACCtu
 I have three children whose teeth started to get soft and break of. I give them condensed milk to drink. Would that cause it2 What can I do about it? (Mrs. A. P.)
 Answer-It is more likely what you don't feed the children than what you do. Plain fresh milk however, is far better food for any one than condensed milk or eva porated milk, in my opinion. You live in the country-if you are not certain about the purity of the milk, bring it to Q boil for one minute and it will be perfectly safe for the children. They must have a daily ration of vitamin D too. They should have some sort of fresh green leafy vegetable or herb such as lettuce, cabbage. spinach daily. and some raw turnip, carrot, celery or whatever vegetable they may like raw.
 Anyway It Can Do No Harm
 What you said about the iodin Ration and Rejuvenation I believe have nearly every iodine deficiency manifestation you des- cribed. (E. M
 Answer-Most youngsters in their teens and mature adults get in- sufficient iodine to maintain good nutrition. A wee, wee pinch of iodine fulfllS the minimum require nlent. but a lot of people do not get that wee, wee pinch in food and water.

"A nip, apprehend, is a sip or small draft; e dram; a quick one; a snifter: Q slug of liquor.

 do believe a glass of wine, beer or ale once or twice e day Is a blessing for many elderly people Mind, though, this does not imply that I advise oil elderly folk to take beer, ale or wine. Indeed I doubt that elderly folk who have kept their teeth or dentures func- tioning efficiently will need the narcotic action of the alcohol in beer, ale or wine to make their old age enjoyable. It is the poor, ignor- ant old people who have lost most of their teeth and limped along for years with digestion seriously irn- paired and nutrition consequently on the downgrade, who have to turn to this narcotic to make life endur- able.
 I hope I am not unduly pessimis- tic, yet I would not advise any old gee7er to take something I, Doc Brady, would not take myself and I'd as lief take a shot of CO., caine once or twice day as drink a glass of ale or wine. But then, I'm young yet, thanks to vitamins, Belly Breathing, Lawn Bowling and Q fine flock of pedigreed pipes and, when can cadge it, fuel to burn in lem.
 So I say, leave beer, ale and wine to the old folks. From what you tell me of your way of living, brother, you are not yet ready to retire to the chimney corner.

 It gave me great pleasure to re- port to John Whitney Richmond Of the War Finance Committee of New York that the American Contract Bridge Leagues recorded figures for the Victory Lean drive amounted to ei .eol .e76. This meant that. with unreported sales, the League had gone over its quota of s2.O0O. 900.

DEAR MARY HAwORTH: have been married Ii years, since I was l0 and my husband 9. w. have three nice children, ranging in ages from four to 10 years. My husband is a pretty good farmer and takes reasonably good care of his livestock, fields and such.
 We go to town on an average or twice a week, when I do the shop ping and my husband goes to the liquor store and then to the beer parlors. About twice @ month ne rather overdoes this, and then we really have it outl Both of us say things no child should be obliged to overhear; and at such times our two eldest get to crying and my husband says it's all my fault.
 He also says that I do practic- ally nothing; that I spend nearly all his hard-earned money, that i couldn't possibly earn such a good living for myself; that if he didn ' take care of me I would starve, and that worse than starving would be my lot. The day following these explosions he can't see why I should still be angry. He thiniSs and say I bring it all on myself. that I have everything the way I want it.
 Wife Admits
 Faults, Too
 I know I am not blameless; and If were to act as if nothing had happened, everything would be just fine--until the next time. But with the children getting old enough tO understand, can't have this sort of thing so often in front of them. had fully made up my mind to leave the next time, without the children-because he won't consent to my taking them. Also, I can't see my way clear if do. And if I leave them I would have good going; bu. am afraid they wouldn't.
 When my husband has been drinking he always wants to go places. and of course I won't go, as it isn't safe. If I weren't here, he would take the children and go in any weather. In general, he is good to them at all times. He hardly ever corrects them, though. am not too good at housekeeping and as the children have lots of play things the house is often in a mess. But they will be grown some day and think there are worse trials than messy house. hope you can understand the situation and give me good advice, because we can't go on like this. P. B.
 Anger Doing
 Most Damage
 DEAR P. B.: Anger blinds, we are told. And this appears to be a case of two persons thus blinded swing ing wildly at each other and in. turing innocent children in the af fray. To clear your vision, both of you, I recommend Bible reading and family prayer every evening Right at table, as supper is finished might be the most convenient time. Urge your husband to lead this spiritual exercise; but if he won't do it yourself.
 If you haven't a copy of the good Book, buy one the next time you are in town. And for your first les- son, which I urge your husband to take heart with you. turn to Mat. thew 2, 3:5. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye: Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and. behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hyprocrite first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then

their brother Joseph. The selling
of Joseph is said to have occurred
on the Tenth day of Tishrai (Dav
of Atonement) thus making the
Yom Kippur holiday a fitting an
niversary to recall the blood that
was split because of this deed.
QUESTION: What is the or
igin of the "New Year Cards?
ANSWER: 1t seems to be a
fact that sending New Year Cards
is indeed not a Jewish custom in
its origin. 1t hardly seems to be
rooted in religious observances. OF
course, the fact that the Jews prob
ably copied it from other nations
does not substract from the social
and humanitarian values of this
tradition. 1t is noted that the early
Persians would send eggs upon
which were inscribed New Years
wishes to their friends and relatives.
The Romans sent gifts as a token
of friendship on the New Year. 1t
seems that most nations had some
sort of social form of greeting for
the New Year and so the Jewish
people were no exception to this
form of sociological manifestation.

MONTREAL OTA)-Robert C.
Goodwin, American representative
to the international Labor Organi-
cation meeting here, this week stat
ed that the U. S. Government was
concerned" that all immigrants to
all nations should have equal rights
and receive equal treatment regard
less of race or religion.
The statement was made at the
closing session of the Permanent
Migration Committee of the 1T. o.
which later adopted a resolution
asserting that the policy of nom
discrimination was a fundamental
condition of orderly migration
movements. The committee also
criticized various discriminatory
practices.
Gilberto Adamo, immigration ex-
pert of the Brazilian government,
said that his government did not
practice any racial discrimination
and said it would welcome agricul-
tural workers. The Chilean delegate
reported that his government has
set aside 100000 pesos to finance
immigration to Chile. The Polish
representative advocated consulting
the immigrants nation of origin
before inviting them to settle in
foreign lands.

QUESTION: What is the I'm
esaneh Tokef'? Greeted on Rosh
Hashonah and Yom KippurO

oSdIlGu OEAS@
Hashonah and Yom Kippur?)
ANSWER: "Unesanah Tokef"
IS an expression that has colloquiT
.llv become the name of prayer
recited in the synagogue just be-
:; re the "Kedushah" on the High
Holidays. It's contents present a
stirring description of the awe and
realism of the Divine Day of Judge
ment In addition to this, beautiful
melodic notes have been affixed to
# marking it perhaps the most out
standing moment of the High Hol-
iday service.
QUESTION:: What is the nature
of the prayer "Elah Ezkereh?"
ANSWER: The prayer "Elah
Ezkereh" is a memorial description
of the death of ten martyrs which
is recited in the afternoon service of
Yom Kippur-at the end of the
Musaf service. 1t refers to the
ten scholarly martyrs who were
horribly murdered during the Had
rianic prosecutions which began in
the year 135 A. D.
Some time after the destruction
of the Temple by the Romans, after
having subdued the bold revolution
of Bar Kochba, the enemy deter
mined to annihilate the sources of
Jewish life by prohibiting Jewish
education. The leading scholars
refused to adhere to the decree and
both secretly and openly dehed it,
bringing upon themselves death at
the hands of the Romans. The ten
martyrs were:
Rabbi Ishmael, the High Priest;
Rabbi Simon Ben Gamliel, the
Prince; Rabbi Akiba; Rabbi Han
anye, son of Tradyon; Eliezer, son
Of Shamua; HANNA, son of Hak1-
mai: Yeshebab, the scribe; Pudah,
son OF Dana; Judah, son of Baba;
Huzpit, the Interpreter.
QUESTION:: What is the or
igin of the prayer as it now stands?
ANSWER: Soon after the per-
solutions, Rabbi Judah, SO impress
ed with the memory, composed 1t
as an eternal tribute.
Question: Why is it said par
ticularly on the Day of Atonement?
ANSWER: On this holy and
awesome day, recalling the mem
DRY of the departed is known to
be prominent feature, because
even the departed need atonement.
On this day, too, Jewish tradition
calls forth the heroic annals OF
those of the past as an example, as
we'll as a symbol, of hope and sal
vation. Furthermore, the blood OF
the ten martyrs was considered as
the price for the shameful deed by
which the ten sons of Jacob sold
