Pledge From Beneficiaries
NEW YORK, Aug. IS. (JP)—Trus
tees of the Leopold Schepp Founda
tion, organized to administer a $2,
500,000 gift by Mr. Schepp to aid
boys, have adopted a pledge to be
subscribed to by boys desiring to
share in the benefits of the Foun
dation.
Gifts of $200 for each boy faith
fully keeping the pledge for three
years, and provision for five annual
collegiate scholarships, are made
available from the fund. The cash
gifts are designed to help the boys
get started in business for them
selves or to advance their education.
Mr. Schepp started in business 65
years ago with a cash capital of 18
cents and has accumulated several
millions of dollars.
Following is the pledge to be tak
en:
'Desiring to share the benefits of
the Leopold Schepp Foundation, I
hereby pledge my best efforts to be
worthy of the aid and encouragement
which it offers.
“First—To remember my accounta
bility to my Maker, and endeavor
with God’s help to keep His com
mandments and daily seek His favor.
‘ Second—To be loyal to my coun
ty, to obey the laws of the land
which I live in, or in which I may
sojourn.
“Third—To honor my parents and
all tq whom honor is due.
“Fourth—To be honest in all my
dealings and endeavor to observe the
rule: ‘Whatsoever ye would that men
should do to you, do ye even so to
them.’
Fifth—To abstain from all intoxi
cating drinks and harmful drugs.
“Sixth—To avoid the practice of
gambling in any form.
“Seventh—To shun evil compan
ions and avail myself of such moral
and religious influences as are with
in my reach.
“Eighth—To cultivate those manly
qualities which will fit me for good
citizenship and for an honorable life.
“If I am prospered in my career I
shall count it a duty and a privilege
to return to the Foundation what it
hajs expended on my behalf, in order
that it may extend like privileges to
other deserving boys.”
Bulgaria Issues Warning
Against Jewish Hatred
SOFIA, Aug. 18. (i^P)—'General Rous
seff, minister of the interior, recent
ly issued a warning against demon
strations of hatred toward Jews in
Bulgaria, while addressing the Dem
ocratic Union, the group ot' parties
in power.
‘The government and tne citizen
ship of Bulgaria are greatly disturb
ed by any display of hatred and per
secution against Jews in Bulgaria,”
said General Rousseff.
“All governments in the past have
regarded Jews as good Bulgarian cit
izens, because our Jews by no man
ner have shown that they are less
devoted to the country than other
citizens. The indications, here and
there, of anti-Jewish sentiment must
be ascribed to a weak sense of patiii
otism and the absence of a realiza
tion of duty to the state.
“On the first demonstration of such
a sentiment the minister of the infe
rior has arranged to have vigorous
steps taken against the guilty per
sons. I beg all Jews who are citizens
of Bulgaria to communicate such
movements to the authorities, in or
der that we may perform our lull
duty.”

British Money Makers
Claimed Best Coin
Craftsmen in the World
LONDON, Aug. 18. (/P)—The claim
is made that the British mint on
Tower Hill, where all the British
and many of the foreign countries’
coins are made, contains the finest
craftsmen in the world. The mint
has just completed an order for Po
land comprising about 20,000,000
coins. Last year it coined a large
order for Russia and minted a niffii
ber of gold coins for Egypt. It now
has an order on hand for Lithuania
to the value of $50,000.
Copper coins can be turned out at
a great rate, and in the case of sil
ver coins, where much greater care
is needed, as many as seven millions
have beeh produced in one week.
The designs on coins made at the
mint are said to stand out more
clearly than on those produced in
other countries, and the dies are
made from designs submitted.
Berlin Surgeons Clash
Over Opposing Theories
BERLIN. Aug. 18. (/P)—Prof. Au
gust Bier, the eminent Berlin sur
geon who performed the operations
of the late President Ebert and Hugo
Stinnes, has stirred up the allopathic
fraternity by not only saying a few
kind words for homeopathy, but also
publishing his personal successes with
the homeopathic treatment.
At the last meeting of the Medical
Society, Prof. Bier was subjected to
a scathing criticism. One member
declared: “It is nothing less than
unethical for Prof. Bier to champion
the cause of homeopathy.” Another
asserted: “Homeopathy is wrong be
If You Are Doing Business
With Mail Order Concerns
If you are sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth—the indus
tries—the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming. It
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you,

This community is made up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort. If you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—and yourself
When you buy from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever comes back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn’t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market. They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting full value in
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
—long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges.

system rather than a science. It is
therefore to be condemned as a sys

plied to these and other reproaches
with the statement that this prob
lem could only be solved by means
of continuous experiments. He de
clared that after a careful study of
the works of Samuel Hahnemann,
the originator of homeopathy, he
had come to the conclusion that

wisdom as well as the uttermost
nonsense was to be gleaned.
