RABBINICAL LAWS OF HEALTH
—
Purity, Aim of Most of the Sanitary
Mandates, Was to Be Not Only
Physical, but Also Moral.
—
Among the rabbis who expounded
the law to the old-time Jews, the
“neglect of one’s health was regard
ed as a sin/’ writes Dr. Joseph H.
Marcus, attending physician to the
Jewish Seaside home, Atlantic City,
in the Medical Record.
“Purity, which was the aim of
most of the Biblical sanitary laws,
was to be not only physical, but also
moral.”
Among the rabbinical laws of
health which Doctor Marcus quotes
and which, he says, are generally ob
served to this day among the ortho
dox Jews, are the following:
“No one should force himself to
eat, he should wait until he is really ,
hungry, not hurry his meal and not
talk while eating.
“After all solid food eat salt, and
after all beverages drink water.
“It was forbidden to eat the meat
of an animal that had eaten poison,
or to eat meat and fish together, or
to drink water left uncovered over
night.
“It was forbidden to touch dur
ing meals any part of the body which
is usually covered or to hold bread
under the arm.
“Coins should not be placed in the
mouth, as there is the apprehension
that they have been touched by per
sons suffering from contagious disr
eases.
“They warned against eating
heavy meals immediately before go
ing to bed, and approved of lying
first on the left side and then on the
right side, this being considered
good for digestion.”
TOO ECONOMICAL.
“You can overdo this conserva
tion thing, my dear.”
“What do you mean?”
“For instance, I think you’ve
saved this egg just a few days too
long.”
DIAGNOSIS.
“Did you find much the matter
with the 'man who got mixed up in
the gas explosion ?”
“They said at the hospital he was
suffering from that all-gone feeling.”
RESIGNATION JUSTIFIED
i— -if-ir 1
“So you resigned !”
“Yes. I couldn’t stand the way the
firm treated me.”
“What did they do ?”
“Took my name off the pay roll.”
UNDER ECONOMY RULES.
Forced economy is practiced by
the German prisoners of war in
terned in England. Some of these
men are wealthy, one estimating his
income at between $100,000 and
1150,000 a year. One of the regrets
af these rich prisoners is that they
are not allowed to spend all they
would like. They are limited to an
expenditure of $5 a week for lux
uries, and these luxuries must not
include anything containing meat,
sugar, flour or milk. Hence some oc
casionally buy as much as two
pounds of tobacco a week, or its
equivalent in 100 cigars or 200
cigarettes.
LIKE CHINESE LABOR.
When the dealer informed her
that the price of eggs was 40 cents
per dozen she exclaimed :
“Forty cents! Why, that’s more
than 3 cents for each egg!”
“Yes, mum,” said the dealer; “but
you must remember that one egg is a
whole day’s work for a hen!”—

SKIPS SOME.
“Splendid book—but disconnected
plot, old top.”
“What book’s that ?”
