TO HELP THE DESTITUTE.
Proclamation issued by American National
Red Cross Society.

Washington, December 13-Following
is the official announcement issued from
the National headquarters of the Red
Cross today: lowing to the unanimous
and urgent appeals from the friends Of
humanity representing nearly all the
people of this country. the American
National Red Cross has decided it must
accept the sacred trust of endeavoring
to relieve the starving Armenians In
Asia Minor. According to conservative
estimates there are $50, 600 utterly desti-
tute people in that country who will
have to be assisted for six or eight
months (until next harvest. J Fully
realizing the difficulties and dangers to
be met the Red Gross will start for Tur-
key rs soon as sufficient funds are placed
at Its disposal or guaranteed to inspire
success. Ali funds may be sent to Miss
CLARA Barton, president and treasurer
Of the American National Red Cross,
Washington, D. q. Names of authorized
agents to receive the funds and materials
will be published in few days. The
Red Gross suggests that goods, grain and
other material may be sent by chartered
steamer.
(Signed)
AMERICAN RED GROSS,
"Clara Barton, President
The final determination of the Ameri-
can National Red C1Dss to go to the relief
of the Armenians. was not definitely
reached unsil today. The action of the
society is considered by it's executive
committee, the most important that any
organization has ever undertaken. Never
before have so many difficulties been
presented OF such extensive measures
been necessary. For the first time the
field of the Red Gross will be transferred
to foreign country far from it's main base
of supplies and abounding with dangers
The Organization will be hampefed by
is utter lack of facilities for transporting
food, clothing and other supplies, by un-
familiarity with the Language and by
general state of lawlessness known to ex-
ist in that part of Turkey. Notwith-
standing these conditions President
Barton is determined to 60 in person to
Armenia and take charge of the distribu-
tion Of supplies
The Red Cross has been thoroughly
considering the character Of the work re-
ouired, and it Is estaimated that $50, 600
people are absolutely destitute an d starv-
ing declared to be thoroughly conserva-
tive. While it cannot be determined un-
til the field is reached. just how much
money will carry these people to the
next harvest time, missionaries who are
familiar with the country and people,
think SIS, 900, 600 fair fgu re.
All of this will not be needed at once,
as Red Cross officials in Washington are
confident that whatever is needed, will
be forthcoming.
Miss Barton and staff will be ready to
leave for Turkey next week II success is
assured through responses to the an
nouncement made today. 1t will take
her two weeks to reach Constan tinople,
and two weeks longer to initiate the
actual work of relief in Armenia. In the
meantime at least, month OF suffering
and distress is inevitable. She regards
every moment lost as wasted, and is en-
gagged in perfecting every possible detail
of work that can be done In advance.

The Cook county democracy Satur-
day declared for the free coinage OF
silver. At meeting of the demo-
cratic county central committee of
Lee county Saturday resolutions
were unanimously adopted declaring
that the silver question is most sat-
isfactor4ly explained in the language
of Senator John NJ. Palmer, when
he says the democratic party is anx-
ious to extend the use and influence
of silver as money metal, and 1--WE
welcome any policy which will Sc
cure the coinage of the silver dollar
upon a basis equal in value, power,
and acceptability with a dollar OF
gold. Any further recommendation
at the present time other than the
above is ill-advised, and we deem it
unwise to ask the democratic party
of this country to obligate itself by
adopting measures at this time
which possibly may adjust them
selves before the campaign of 1896.
Therefore. the committee deems ii
advisable net to call the convention
to send delegates to the state con-
veution of June 5, 1895"

\ Remarkable Cure.

Mrs. II. &. Adams. 1909 Wabash
avenue. Chicago, says: II had n
scrofulous faint of the blood from
childhood, which. however, remained
dormant. An ulcer began on the
side of the nose, having all the APP
pearances of most malignant cam
Ger. The agony of mind I suffered
cannot be described as l contem-
plated the progress of such a malig-
nant disease. Finally l was induced
10 try Foley's Sarsaparilla. 1t APP
peared to neutra,ize the poison in
the blood. The growth of the ulcer
ceased. The diseased tissues in the
bottom and edges of the sore seemed
to loosen and the natural flesh to
take its place. No part of the dis
ease remains" NJ. F. Bahnsen's

Street Cars rs Mail CARRIER.

The use of street cars for the dis
tributing of the mails will begin in
Chicago May Is. Its success is as
sured by the example of Boston and
Brooklyn, where street postal cars
have been running for several years.
The innovation is more important
than may appear at first sight. The
construction placed on the postal
statutes by the courts last summer
makes railway strikes n perilous
business for the strikers, even when
the disputed decisions regarding the
interstate commerce act are left out
of the question. Labor unions will
be less inclined to order strikes on
street railway lines when the compa-
mics become mail carriers and en-
titled as such to extraordinary pro-
lection. The violent blockading of q
street car flying a postotiice flag
would bring the rioters into direct
conflict with the United States gov
eminent. Then, the rule should
work both ways. The companies on
their part should be made to respect
their contracts with the government
to the extent of using all reasonab bic
means to prevent discomfort among
employees. In the Brooklyn strike
the rights of the government were
woefully neglected, but the end OF
the extension of the railway mail
service in this direction must be the
restraint Of both employers and EN-.
ployes.

Is only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner.
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.

Of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs

expect but that tired feeling and ner.

OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
versally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknOwled the greatest remedy.
Therefore. as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you
are taking a preparation which only
quietS your nerves! 1t is like trying to
"drown" your sorrows in the flowing

We wish to make most impressive,
then, this truism:
You cannot purify your blood by
DEADENING or QUIETING your nerves
with opiate, narcotic or nerve COM

you are only THRILLING with your
