The speaker laid stress on the fact that most of the Jewish cer emonles were hygienic though under t religious dispensation, and that the old' est teachers and lawglveca of the race knew much of medical -science. That Moses knew of microbes and Understood why water became Impure and felt the need of extreme cleanliness, was re garded by Dr. TUger as an established fact. , "The only difference between the Rabbinical writings and modern hy genlo writers," aaid the speaker, "seems to have been that they had no word for microbes." In part Dr. Tllger said: "The antiseptic treatment of wounds. the ' greatest achievement in modern medical history, had its -birthplace in England, and to Sir Joseph Lister be longs - the honors for the .discovery. Prior to the discovery of this treatment and the scientific determination of. the cause of corruption attending an oner ation the most successful operation waa not free from disagreeable accidents and fatal terminationa were daily occur rences. The .old school doctor aaid: "My brother, I have performed the oper ation ana may uoa heal thee.: The un certainty of the operation's result was chleny caused by unclean hands. Blood poison was regarded as fate, not as carelessness in disguise. "There are untold numbers of vege table and animal organisms 1 whose germs are suspended In air: these cling to the (dressing, the Instruments and hands of. the operator. These Infect the wound, retard the process of healing and he Is alone successful uniformly who prevents the access of germs to the WOtind. ' ,-;! ;,, ,.: "Sir Joseph Lister battled 1 against germs and won. His aim was to defeat fever, pus and complications, all caused by germs, and this was done after years of study. Lister's requirements for successful operations are still ideal. They are: . Careful cleansing of the hands: thorough cleansing of the finger nails; use of sterilised gown, to cover the head; sterilisation of ..instruments, apparatus, eta; the use of sterile dress ings; prohibition to perform an opera tion after contact with a corpse, or even after visiting a morgue, at least not before' taking a bath. The enumeration of these require ments shows to even the casual ob server that the old Jewish ceremonies were not merely religious. Hygiene looked upon from the scientific point of v lew 1 s a recent de velopmen t ; f rora the Jewish It is one of the oldest "According to the Talmud, washing of hands before meals is obligatory. . It Is further prescribed that the vessel in which the hands are cleansed must be perfect, covered; and water which has been used for other purposes, or which Is discolored, . is strictly forbidden. "The . Jewish , ritual considers the Anger-nail dirt of danger, and provides that it should bo destroyed, burned or burled. Baths were ' in almost every borne, sweet baths. - tub baths, mineral baths and public bathing places, lakes. pools .and reservoirs, were common, "The isolation of contagious diseases Is an old Jewish institution. This Is the -law when a man dleth In a tent Every one. that cometh into the tent and all that is In the tent shall be un clean seven days.' Such is one of the few Jewish quarantine regulations. ' "The rabbis suspected the existence of microbes which they termed Maelkan. Water, when kept in an open vessel for any length of time, had to be skimmed, because it might have attracted Maslkan. "Only recently reports have been pub lished tending to show the liability of infection from the handling of books, a fact which must have been known to Talmudlc teachers. We read, 'AH holy- writings render the hands un clean.' Ancient writings were on oily parchment which was favorable io the propagation of microbes, holy oooks be ing handled much more frequently than profane ones, the danger of, contagion was greater. ' "Disinfectants are provided In the Mosaic statutes.' The ashes of a red heifer, mixed with running - water, formed a cleansing medium, with which all unclean persons were to be sprinkled. Infected . clothes were Isolated ' tor seven days by. the priests, . and then either washed or burned. 'Thy garments should at all times be white,'. Is a Bib lical Injunction that is solely sanitary. "According to Malmonldes, no man of culture was permitted to dwell in a city that did not comply with the follow ing regulations: A physician, a surgeon, a bath, a public toilet,' water, springs or rivers, a' synagogue,, a tutor of boys, a scribe, a Judicial authority and a scribe. It is worthy of none that while the synagogue is given only sixth place, that the physician is given first The Interpreters of the law, even Un ancient times, know that forbidden things were unhealthfuL and Malmonldes says so. The fat of the interior of the animal body was forbidden. It is near, the lymphatic gland and harbors terms of disease,''-;;,' . .-v. Moses always put the moral law in the foreground, but it was tempered by physical law. Moses took cognisance of the Influence of the stomach on the head and the head on the stomach. In other words, Moses knew, as modern physicians are coming to admit, that hygiene is morality and morality is hygiene. . Solomon wrote a hygienic work. Sepher '- Rephuoth. Even kings were required to study medicine, foa in Isaiah we read: 'I am no physician: do not choose me as the leader of the people.' Talmud physicians dissected hftman bodies and experimented with' animal life. Their medical academy of Mont pel ler is well known. "All of this, and many other things not touched on, seem to show conclu sively that-the Jewish physicians cultt- vatea hygiene and medicine in accord ance with modern sclentiflo views. The learned physician, K. Llppi. says that the Rabbinical ordinances, but for"- the word microbe which is missing, might appear written by a modern professor of nygiene. to the social hygienic legis lation and education it la due that Is rael continues to live and owes its vl tallty to those ancient but religious hy- jbiiio regulations. "The Jewish natloq alone never per ished. Happy In its faith, happy in its knowledge. It knows no doubt; It is not rent in twain as a nation by dlsaen. tlons, nor affected by the discords of tne universe. Every Jew is an antitv. one in a great bond of Intellectual broth- ernooa, xsraeL" .

CHIEF HUNT FREES SEVEN PRISONERS The city of Portland was saved the price of seven breakfasts this morning by 'the findings of Chief Hunt's kangaroo oourt But before the seven weary ones were allowed to go their way rejoicing, it was made certain that they tallied with the names on the list sent the Jailer by the Big Chief. Wilson and Kenney, two suspected highwaymen, were released last Saturday by answer ing to the names of sleepy drunken men whom Chief Hunt, In his mercy, had amlled upon, have not been recap tured. There was quite a number of drunken men arrested last night, and this morn ing, when Chief Hunt arrived at, the station, he gazed at the record a few minutes, then by telepathlo suggestion selected seven persons whom he thought might go hence without having the pleasure of eating one of the city's table d'hote J -cent breakfasts. Two officers were sent to call out the names of the men who were to be released before hav ing been brought before the municipal Judge. The officers read the name of the first man to be set free. When the stranser aorjeared hfnt v. k... - . -UU ViMIVU cell doors and answered to the name that naa jusi oeen caned, he was asked his flrst name or names. If the answer given aid not tally with that . on the list named that man waa kept But the seven set loose this, morning knew their names welL Among the number were John and Abe Hunt loggers from a lumber camp down the river, who came to the city in order that they might see the a-litter and glare of Portland life. The logger uruiuera were arrestea at an early hour this morning, but objected to going to jail. ''Oh. that place smells too awful naa, mey seia. "it is too dirty.

Whale to re cover possession of a piano. About four or five months ago Palmer was plaintiff in a suit against McMasters A BlrrelL He lost the case, but in a brief used such language toward the court that - three members of the bench believed he should have been punished severely for con tempt There was also talk at the time among lawyers of drawing the matter to the attention of the Multnomah County ; Bar association. Palmer was saved, from punishment by the magnani mity of the members of the court to whom he had offered Insult -.- After the evidence In Watts' suit to recover the piano had been taken yes terday Palmer rose and sarcastically re marked that he "supposed he would have the privilege of filing a brief." "No, siryou can ille no brief in this case." declared the court "and, further more, you can file no brief in any case that comes before me.

"I hate the aristocratic Christian," he said, "the Christian who is too proud to kneel at prayer meeting. I notice that you have several of them here." and the speaker glanced over the audience. "I peeped through my hands during prayer and found the aristocrats were with us. I also hate a church member who Is too pious to enjoy himself when in church.
