term “missionary” is a misnomer be-
cause the activities of the association
are devoted solely to Jews. It is bet-
ter known as work of synagogue and
school extension.
The report of the department of
synagogue and school extension was
received with great interest. It dealt
with the establishment of a large prop-
aganda fund under the able leadership
of Rev. Dr. J. Leonard Levy of Pitts-
bug, and with the Sabbath school pub-
lication activities under the chairman-
ship of Rev. Dr. David Philipson. The
report dealt at length with the welfare
work among university students, farm-
ers’ children, immigrant population,
services at summer resorts, etc., and
with an elaborate system of supervisor
of synagogue extension.
The board to whom these data were
referred brought in a very enthusias-
tic report. It was headed by Mr. Jo-
seph Schonthal of Columbus, Ohio, who
has established the Schonthal publica-
tion fund, under which many of the
activities of this department are op-
erating. His warm commendation of
disorder. He tried various remedies
without results, but. Plant Juice seemed
to be exactly what he had been seek-
ing. Mr. Burns discussed Plant Juice
from his experience with it and heartily ,
recommends it to all who suffer from
stomach trouble. His approval adds
another to the long list of Galveston
people who have been benefited by this
wonderful remedy.

energy or vitality, have dull headache,
sleepless, poor appetites, indigestion,
dizziness, weak spells, or other ills of
the stomach and nerves, will find Plant

opened at the first regular or special
Commissioners meeting thereafter for
furnishing all material and doing- all
work necessary for paving and other
improvements to be constructed along
Avenue J, from the east side of 24th
street to the east side of 14th street,

by the City Engineer, which will be
furnished upon application to his of-
fice in the City Hall, Galveston, Texas.
The following are the approximate
quantities required for proposed work:
Poll Tax Payments.
Today, probably on account of the
inclement weather, there .have not i
been the expected number of appli- i
cants for poll tax receipts at the coun- :
ty collector’s office. During the past I
few nights, while the office fore® has ।
been at work catching up with the ;
day’s work, a number have called in
for poll tax receipts. The total num-
ber issued thus far is some behind the
same time last year.
A Girl’s Wild Midnight Ride.
To warn people of a fearful forest
fire in the Catskills a young girl rode
horseback at midnight ond saved many
lives. Her deed was glorious, but lives
are often saved by Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery in curing lung trouble, coughs
and colds, which might have ended in
consumption or pneumonia. “It cured
me of a dreadful cough and lung dis-
ease,” writes W. R. Patterson, Welling-,
ton. Tex,, “after four in our family had
died with consumption, and I gained 87

He was picked up by the officers
this morning, and at the station told
about the same story usually heard in
cases of this kind. They were not
kind to him at home, or at least he
thought so then, but different now,
bad companions and a desire to see
the world and earn money constituted
enough reasons for leaving the roof of
his father and mother. He had a little
money, but that soon gave out; then
he found himself up against the real
proposition. He' was too small and too
young to secure work, hence begging

be during the day.

Greater Caution Should be Taken
Azainst Speedy Transportation.
That too many people are being
killed and injured; on our railroads
all over the country and that more at-
tention should be paid to safety is a
conclusion of the Interstate Commerce
Commission which will meet with pub-
lic approval. It clearly appears that
the nation has been overdoing the ef-
fort to assure speedy transportation,
and the time has come for greater pre-
caution against accidents.—Bpston
