Th9 Hebrews of the City Celebrat? ing the Jewish Day of Atonement. Yom Kippur, or the Jewish Diy of Atone? ment, Legan at sundown Sunday afternoon. The day is considered the most sacred festival of those enumerated in the Jewish calendar The Divine command for its observance is recorded iu Leviticus, chapter 16, verses 2J-31. The ten days intervening New Year and this holiday are religiously observed by daily attendance at tbe pUce of worship and tb? recitation of penitential prayers and tbe in? vocation of pardon for sin and transgression o' lhe law. On the adv&ut of the sacred day the Jew.eh race abstain from labor acd en? joyment for twenty four hours, ?od do not partake of food, water or ?ny other liquid for the same time, thus devotiog the day tc prajer, fasting, repentance and atonenent. The naramount object of the day ba9 life in it. It inspires lite and imparts life, be? cause it takes an erring mortat dead to ell the < sacred relations of life, dead to all bij moral obligations to society, and raises him to a high point of religious, morol and social ele? vation. It appeals to bis conscience, his moral pense, his common sense. No deep logic, no intricate reason, is r? quired to pro? duce the rf quired ?(Feet, for this festival ap? peals to all that is good in man. against all that is bad in vam,; it appeals to all that is right in beaven, against all that is wrong onear;b; it appeals io invisible justice against visible ioiquity. It puts man's animal rature where it ought to be, io subservience to his religious, moral and social nature; it lays claim to his conscience on tbe ground tbat tbe duties i enjoins, tbe privileges it claiu8, it enjoins and claims for Israel everywhere and io every di? rection; it claies a protection of bis spiritual nature, against that which destroys it; it comes as a mission to every mtmber of a Jewish household, in and out of the syna? gogue, tc saint and sinner, believer and un? believer, and arrests their moral sense, point? ing them to the destruction of the powers in their souls, and bids them stay that destruc? tion by firm resolves, fervent prayer and sin? cere repentance Resting upon thes?- lofty principles tbry must depend upon them to govern their lives, and thus enable them to secu:e pardoo for their sins Governed a .d controlled by these tenets, family quarre:? aod broken friendships are pacifieJ and more closely cemented, and where anger aod die cord prevailed a.uity and joy occupy their pisces.

Many people are suffering from some form of heart ditease who have no idea of the cause of it. Disturbances of the digestive organs affect the heart's action, and therefore foods which interfere with digestion promote troubles of this character. Alum baking powders are a prolific cause of heart troubles. Tbe physiological effect of burnt alum is to coagulate tbe b'ood. This interferes with its free Mow through the ar? teries and valves of the heart. Physicians have cased the use of alum as a specific for children's croup, bec*use of its tendency from the cau.-es named to produce heart failure In prese ce of the overwhelming testimony as to the danger from alum wnen used in fond, no oue will knowiogly use an alum baking powder Nevertheless many such powders are used and the public suffer in consequence The seller of these powders may be unaware of tbeir true character or perhaps heedlessly disregards it for the great? er profit there is io them. The consumer mutt be on bis guard. Where alum powders are not branded as such, nor tbeir sale prohibited by law, it is better to avoid tbe use of any new or doubt? ful powder until it has been analyzed. The purity of all powders may be suspected if they are sold at a price lower than the prie? of the best standard brands. We know the Royal to be a first-class cream of tartar pow? der and if consumers insist upon having that brand they will than be sure of apure, health? ful articie. It behooves every one to use extraordinary care in purchasing food sappliea. We do not hesitate to recommend the Royal to all who are in doubt as to the powder they bare been using, as the United States Government tests place thai' brand at tbe bead of all the tartrate powders.
