FATHER WEEK’S STORY.
“It’s all very well," said Father
Week, for daddies to tell stories to
their children, all very well, and all
very nice. I can see how the children
would get used to them and would en
joy having them, and wouldn't want to
miss a nightly story for anything.
“But I am not going to let my chil
dren go without stories either."
"What do you mean?” asked Htlie
Elf, who was listening to Father Week
as he talked.
“Have you never seen my children?”
asked Father Week.
“Never,” said Eftie Elf. “It is the
first time I ever saw you, you know.”
“Now, is It, indeed?” asked Father
Week. “Yet I have been around a
good long time.”
"Sometimes.” said Eftie Elf. “I think
we miss things that are around ail the
time. We don’t notice them enough or
think enough of them because they are
usual.
“But I don't see how I could have
missed you."
“Well. I’m a busy old soul, always
looking after the children, seeing they
aren't late, but always right on time.
One thing I do insist upon, and that
Is that my children are on time. They
are never, never late, except some
times In a make-believe way when
they change one of their hours
around.”
“I'm getting so mixed up.” said Eftie
Elf. “What do you mean?"
“I mean that sometimes they put
ahead an hour, or back an hour so
that people think that it’s Wednesday
when still it Is Tuesday. But of course
that makes very little real difference,
and if folks are happier with daylight
or whatever It Is they want. I don’t
mind, and if they’re happier without It
I don’t mind either.”
“Do call your children and tell them
a story?" asked Eftie Elf.
“Ah," said Father Week, “I tell my
children their stories as other dad
dies tell their children stories. But
always one cllild is busy, and can’t be
listening. That Is the child who Is
working that day."
“Call what children you can.” said
Eftie Elf, “for still T am mixed up
And I would like to have It all ex
pluined to me.” . ...
“Come, children.” called Father
Week. “Come Monday and Tuesday.
Come Wednesday and Thursday. Come
Saturday and Sunday."
They all came hurrying along, look
ing very much alike, the six children.
“You see," explained Father Week.
“Friday is busy. It’s Friday's turn
now.
“Well, my children, my lovely days,
bow are you all?”
“We’re well, father, we're happy,
we’re looking forward to a story.”
“I will tell a story of our family and
Its history." said Father Week, “for

“I Am Getting So Mixed Up." Said
Effie Elf.
this visitor of ours, Effie Elf, has never
heard very much about our family, or
she has forgotten if she has.
“Years and years ago our great,
great, great, great, great, great, and
then a great many more greuts, great
grandfathers started our enormous
family.
“He was the first year. There were
ail his sons, fine sons he had. There
were twelve of them. And so strong
and splendid were they that every
single new year (for our grand
father, our first, first grandfather,
lived a long time ago) there have been
many who have followed after him, as
have the sons after his sons.
“The years have come to follow the
example of our first grandfuther, and
the sons have come to follow the ex
ample of the first twelve sons and to
do Just as they do.
“You know January, and February,
and March, and so on. Iam the son
of the months. I am Father Week,
and you, you precious days, are ray
children, my little sons.”
“But,” said Effie Elf. “are there no
daughters In your family?”
"Yes” smiled Father TTeek. “The
daughters are all the happy moments
that go hand in hand with the days!"

CARE IN CONTAGION.
Contagious diseases are due to dis
tinct living tilings, which are transmit
ted from one person to
another and live like
parasites upon a patient.
Tills knowledge will help
us to guard ourselves
and our loved ones from
tlie spread of contagion.
Thp best protection
against contagion is ro
bust health. One who is
strong and vigorous is
u ueh less liable to yield to disease
than one less robust. Wholesome food,
exercise and fresh air are essentials
in combating disease. An active body
is far less lialile to disease than an
Inactive one that has little outdoor pi
pi cise.
The Deed of fresh air, day and night,
is one of l lie important factors in
maintaining health. The belief that
n’eht air is dangerous and sleeping in
an unventliuted room is responsible fot
much ill health. Sleeping rooms should
Jtr well aired by day. bedding sunned
often and a free circulation of air in
the coldest weather maintained in the
sleeping rooms during the night.
The eating utensils used by a pa
tient. or indeed anything else which he
uses or handles during a contagious ill
ness, are a menace as they are easily
contaminated with Infectious germs.
A diphtheria patient who has bacilli
in his mouth will contaminate spoons,
cups, forks or anything which he uses.
This is also true of other contagious
diseases te> a less extent. Consequently
ton much care cannot be taken of ev
erything that tiie patient handles.
Allow no one to use or handle any
of his utensils, toys or hooka. The
utensils may he boiled; ten minutes
will sterilize them, hut toys, books or
things that cannot be boiled should be
burned.
Paper napkins and dishes of paper
may be ccd. saving the care of linen
am1 utensils, and these may he burned.
To ventilate a sick room without a
draft, place a hoard four to six inches
vide under the window, and of the
same width; by shutting the window
down on this hoard, a current of air
will come up between the sashes, keep
Ing a circulation of fresh air. without
a draft.
Kept Old Funeral Custom.
Following an old family custom, the
body of Mrs. G. H. Haigh. daughter of
the late Sir Robert Harty, was buried
at midnight in the family vault at the
little village church at Waith, England
The body of Mrs. Haigh, who was
eighty-nine years of age, was brought
I from Penrhyndendraelh. Wales, and
conveyed from the station to tin
i church in u farm wagon, drawn by
four black horses and escorted by
three dozen men carrying lanterns. Six
Welshmen acted as bearers. The only
floral tribute was a large cross of
evergreens.
Coconut Palm the Tropical Cow.
Copra consists of the dried meats
of coconuts. It contains from 50 to
63 per cent of oil.
In India, Cochin China, the South
Sea Islands and elsewhere the oil has
been used as food since the dawn of
history, for the fats contained in It
are singulurly like the milk fats of
mammals in mom respects. It Is al
ready in wide use in this country as
“nut margarine,” which is coconut oil
into which some butter has been melt
ed and the whole churned with skim
milk—that la, milk with the fata re
moved—and worked as ordinary but
ter.

WORLD JEWRY AT
GREATEST CRISIS
Leaders in America Striving to
Save Race in Europe From
Destruction.
MUST SEND AID QUICKLY.
Children Are the Most Pitiful Sufferers
From the Cataclysm That Has
Ruined a Once Prosperous
People.
The Jews In almost every country
of the world except America are in a
state more dire and terrible, perhaps,
than any in which they have found
themselves since the fall of Jerusalem.
Briefly, the Jewish race in much of
Europe is on the verge of annihila
tion.
The countries in which the plight of
the Jews is the worst are Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia, Ilu
manla, Serbia, Galicia, Palestine,
Turkey, Greece and Siberia. In Vilna,
a typical town of Poland, the Jewish
population has been cut down by star
vation. typhus and other diseases In
the last five years from 90,000 to
45,001). Nearly half of the survivors
are dependent upon relief supplies
sent by their co-religionists In
America. Warsaw, Kovno, Cons tan/.a,
and mun.v other cltU?s throughout
Central und Eastern Europe tell the
same tale.
American Jews, aroused by the re
ports that first filtered through after
the signing of the armistice, Imme
diately organized under the American
Jewish Relief Committee, of 15 East
40th Street, New York City, to save
their race abroad. They sent some 'JO
commissioners to various foreign coun
tries to investigate the truth of these
reports. Almost ail these commission
ers have now returned and the first
hand Information that they have
brought hack Is more alarming than the
early unsubstantiated reports. Such
men as Nathan Straus, Henry Morgen
thau, Julius Rosenwald, Jacob H.
SeliilT, Felix M. Warburg, and many
other prominent members of this com
mittee are now bending every effort
to arouse America to the great neeo
abroad and rush the food and supplies
across the ocean which, If sent quick
ly, will save the Jewish race from
destruction.
Saddest of the victims of all this
woe are the children. Tens of thou
sands of pitiful youngsters who are
seven or eight yenrs old hnve gone so
long undernourished that they are lit
tle further developed than normal In
fants of one or two years. In the
Polish cities orphaned children wander
about the streets, homeless and unable
to get Into the orphanages. These are
already overcrowded and depend
primarily upon American relief funds
to keep them going.
JEWiSH RELIEF WORK
IS NOW WORLDWIDE
Christian as Well as Jewish Suf
ferers Are Aided by Organiza
tion That CDvers Many Coun
tries in Europe and the Orient.
Quietly, and practically without
publicity of any Rort, the Jews of Amer
ica have built up, through the Amer
ican Jewish Relief Committee and
other official agencies, a machine for
the organization and distribution of
relief to war sufferer* of their own
and other races that I* now practi
cally worldwide. The headquarters of
the Committee are at 15 East 40th
Street, New York. Expenditures for
; this work now aggregate more than
$2,000,000 a month, atid by means of
state-by-state campaigns to he held
this fall a total of $35,000,000 Is to
be sought to finance the work through
the coming months.
An enumeration of the countries In
which relief efforts are being made
Is Indicative of the scope of the work.
Representatives of these Jewish agen
cies ure to be found In Poland, Czecho
slovakia. Jugoslavia, Galicia, Serbia,
Rumania, and other Balkan states.
Greece, Turkey, Palestine and Siberia.
Small groups of refugees, cast up by
the backwash of war, are being as
sisted In Holland, Japan, China and
’ other Isolated parts of the globe.
All told, many million Christians
and more than 0,000,000 Jews In coun
tries other than the United States are
being directly aided by American Jew
ish relief funds. The major portion
of this humanitarian work Is of course
carried on In Eastern Europe. It Is
there that the hulk of the world's Jew
ish population lives. The fact that
these same nations have been perhaps
hardest hit by the late war, explains
why World Jewry Is at the greatest
crisis In Its history.
But though the Jews of America
have set out to save their race from
destruction, they are not forgetting
that their own people are not the only
sufferers in these lands. The slgnlfl
oance of the whole undertaking becomes
! apparent when It Is known that the
relief supplies which have been pur
j chased and shipped largely with Jew
ish funds are distributed without dis
crimination to Christians as well as
Jews. Barriers of race and creed
have been submerged In the flood tide
of suffering throughout much of the
earth, and the efforts of American
Jewry to aid In the great crisis of
today have become as broad as human
ity itself.
