For more than half a century it has been under the direction of 1/r. John Harvey Kel- logg. It employs, instead of drugs, the natural system of healing by means of diet, rest exercises, water. air and mental therapy. Even more important than the cure of disease is its mission of teaching biologic methods of living which tend t prevent sickness. The Sanitarian, in 192n finished a magnificent new main building, 15 st tries high, and most beautifully fitted up and decorated.

On this holy city there live more than 500 "Gdidim' Marano famil- ies. To give an indication of the conditions under which the Jews of i'ersia live, a story current among the Jewish population may be cited here. This story also pur- ports to explain how the Mariam, group came into being. The Persians have days of na- tional mourning in which they mourn the loss of their prophets and leaders. Once, the story goes. on such a day a Jew fell sick, his hand covered with boils. The Jew consulted a Persian "doctor" who advised him to kill a dog and to stick his sick hand into the stomach of the slain animal and to keep it there for a time, The Jew asked the Persian to arrange this for him. The Persian "doctor" hated the .1mvs. Ile called t ,bather a crowd of his co-religionists and be- fore their eyes slew the dog. Im- mediately after that the Persian went before the highest court and denounced the Jews. He told the judges that the Jews have on this holy day of mourning killed a dog because, with this action, the Jews wanted to show that the Saints we atrium are but dogs. But the Kroh, the judge, was a friend of the ,lees and he refusal to believe that the Jews would do air irrational a thing. In the meantime a nil, gathered around his house and de- mended to he allowed to attack and kill all the Jews. The Kadi asked fur time to investigate the thing himself. Naturally the body of the slain dog was found. The Ka& knew not how to explain it. The mob persisted in its demands for revenge and threatened to kill the Kadi if the latter would not sancti- fy their desire to slaughter all the Jews. The mob began to plunder. Thirty-seven Jews were killed in the very first minute. The Kadi, in order to nave the Jewish com- munity from complete annihilation urged them to accept !shim. The Jews, facing certain death, chose to become Mamma— outwardly Mohammedans but Jews at heart. Compelled to Observe Islam. For 30 years these Maranon were compelled to observe Islam in all its minutest details. A number of families, after this long period of time left their native town and went to dwell in Gerad, which is in the province of Afganistan where they tore down the Mohammedan mask they had won. Many of the Maranon left for Turkestan. Only 200 or 300 milles from Meshed. During the Bolshevik revolution, many of them returned to Meshed, as Jews. Of late, because of the change in the government, their condition has improved a little. These Maranon remained faithful to the Jewish religion, despite the Tells of Contribution to Flying by Otto Lilienthal, German Jew. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh paid tribute to the Jewish pioneer in- ventor and martyr to aviation, Otto Lilienthal, in a syndicated article on aviation. "America boa found her wino, has awakened to the realization that she can fly," writes Col. Lind- bergh. "This realization has come so quickly that the long process of learning to lk has lawn forgotten, the technical development Of the airplane has been so unnoticed that the blur of years seemed to reach its fruition almost overnight. "Forty years ago a man named Lilienthal watched the washing hung out on a clothes line. Ile inticed that the tablecloths and sheets and other normally that niseeS li ft e d in a strong breeze above the horizontal position which it would be natural to suppose they would assume When blown nut by the wind. Then he noticed that the cloth had been curved tic the wind and discovered, logically, that a curved surface lifts. This was the beginning of the airplane--the result of the knowl. edge Lilienthal gained by patient olisemation of such things as wash- ing and the wings of birds. Ile learned that a curved surface with a thin leading edge like that of a bird lifted better than tine with a thin edge although he did not know why this was the ease. Now We know it is due to the greater vacuum produced above the wing. "There is 110 greater romance than the development of the air- plane. and it is 11 pity that the recent flights which have done so much to extend its use hats dimmed a little the less spectacular achievements Of n•n who began this evolution by patient experi- in infs. Many of them lost their lives. Lilienthal himself was the first man to die in attempting flight in a heavier-than-air-ma- chine." Ile was a member of the German Smokily for the Advancement of Aerial Navigation. Ile was the author of several works in which he explained the theoretical rea- sons for the form of his aerial machine.

The Jewish women wear long wide drenses•which cover their bodies from heed to foot. Their faces are always hidden un- der a black veil. The women are never allowed to be in the company of men, even those of the Jewish faith. The girls are instructed in the Jewish religion and many are well versed in the books of the Per- sian poets. The language employed by the Maranon at home as well as in their , commercial life is Persian. A Per ' a Ilia theory ens ron,,,, IN that artificial flight must the principles of bird-flight.

He made the flight successfully several times, but finally met death during an experiment at Rhinow. BUCHARA DISTRICT MOSCOW,- 1J. T.

The Turks very often en- trust them their moneys, never counting it before. On Saturdays, the Marlines place a child in their store, who tells all customers who come in to buy that father is away on business and that he will come the next day.
