not lawful for a Moslem to pray on any
place not perfectly clean, and unless

i not certain that the spot has not been

the place of prayer Mohammedans tire
specially careful when making their

with them having been preserved from
pollution hy being rolled up until the
Journey Is begun or until the hour for

be, because over U they place the pray-

Even the poorest families have fine
