RMA PUT JEWISH
REFUGEES ON FARMS

. Brest-Litovsk, Russia.-For almost
the first time in history the Jews of
this district ave an opportunity to
show whether or not they can become
agriculturalists. ,.
When the Russians evacuated this
CITY and set it on fire they took with
them many thousands of the Jewish
population. Great numbers died,
others kept on ahead of the retreatlng
Russians, and still OTHERS hid IN the
woods and then, penniless and hungr--
streamed back into Brest-Litovsh
again.
For a time the Germans attempted to
house them in the ruined city. But they
have all now been sent out to aban-
doned farms, where their work is regu-
larly inspected by German officials.
, Every possible assistance is given them
in the hope that they may raise good
crops and do their share toward help-
ing out the need in Poland. The land
In his section is fertile, and with prop
! err cultivation and care should bear a
big crop.
The city of Brest-Litovsk itself still
! remains the next thing to a city of
| the dead. Five-sixths or t~hereabouts
of it's houses are nothing but gaping
! walls within which stand only the re-
! mains of the remarkable Russian
stoves which stand even after chiInneys

The Germans stationed in Brest have
| done wonders In cleaning up the city.
Each ruined house has been thoroughly

| moved Or neatly piled up, and each OBJ
ject not utterly destroyed by fire and

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-

the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts OF the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness. irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
