NATIONAL GUARDS
TO Be REORGANIzED
War Department Completes Plans
for Redistribution of Troops.

Yesterday the War Department an
nounced details fer the reorganiza-
tion of the forty-first National Guard
division, composed of troops from the
District OF Columbia, Oregon. Wash
ington. Idaho, Wyoming, Montana.
North Dakota, South Dakota, Colo

present plans. this will be one OF the
next divisions to be sent to France for
the purpose of joining Gen. Pershing' 5
forces.
The Third Regiment, District Ma

the new division and distributed
among the other organizations of the
States named 1t was the first in
camp at Fort Myer, being sent from
there to Greenville, s. c., where II
has remained since.
1t is considered fortunate that the
District soldiers have been thus as
signed to the Western units, as the
latter are made up of a class of men
accustomed to camp life, are skilled
in the use of firearms, and accustom-
ed to all the conditions likely to be
encountered on the battle fronts. In
this way the District boys will obtain
a system Of training Of a highly bene-
fetal character.

jews Will ASSIST
brethren ABROAD
Plans Made to Aid War Sufferers in
Rumania.

Edward Herbert. executive secre-
tary Of the American Union of Ruma-
nian Jews. has been called to Wash
ington by people of prominence in
order to take steps toward aiding the
Rumanian Jews, who are reported to
be in deplorable circumstances. The
opening of a headquarters in Wash
ington for carrying on relief work is
under serious consideration.
1t appears that while money has
been sent them by American brethren,
the things lacking are food, clothing
and shelter. This is partly due to
the stress OF war. but 1t also appears
that the Rumanian government is not
treating the Jewish population as well
as might be hoped.
It is probable that a commission will
soon be appointed by the various
Jewish organizations in America, with
the sanction of the United States gov
ernment to go to Rumania and report
as to how to alleviate these condi-
tions.

PLAN TO Get
FARM BUREAUS
into ONE UNIT.
National Organization Dis
cussed by Farmers in
Conference.

A national organization of the farm
bureaus Of the United States will
probably result from the conferences
held in this city yesterday between
delegates from bureaus of New York
State and Herbert Hoover, Provost
Marshal Crowder, Secretary Baker
and Secretary Houston.
As soon as It is organized, the
national body win send delegates
from every State to confer with gov
ernment officials In an effort to ex-
empt all farm labor from the draft
Agricultural experts OF the country
feel that such a course 10 absolutely
necessary IL the present abnormal
food production is to be maintained.
At the conferences yesterday the
delegates from New York testified
that at the behest of the government
they had increased the production
Of the land and with the large num-
bers that have been taken by the
draft, It is impossible to secure sufi-
cient help to harvest crops. They
pointed out that in many cases what
were formerly well-cultivated lands
are now overrun with weeds because
OF the lack OF help.
Farmers to Help.
z. v. Titus, president of the Mas
sau County Farm Bureau Associa-
ton, said last night: "Our purpose
in coming to Washington Is a patri-
otic one in every sense OF the word.
The farmers of the country want to
win this war and we believe that
food will be one of the bases of vic
tory. We cauld let matters rest as
they are and merely decrease our
production, but we want to give the
country every ounce OF our product
iveness, and we cannot make good
unless We are assured Of some sort
of labor relief.
The officials whom we met today
were very courteous and have assur-
ed us whatever cooperation that lies
in their power
I'VE believe that our problem Is
a new one to the government inas-
much as 1t touches labor conditions
In the eastern part Of the country,
a section that has heretofore been
overlooked in the discussion of farm
labor.
'Mr. Hoover told US yesterday that
there was a possibility OF importing
Polish farm hands to this country.
He pointed out that there were many
thousands of Poles imprisoned in ST.
IBERIA that could easily be brought
back to this country on the empty
ships that carry goods and men to
the other side"
Among the delegateh who arrived
from New York to attend the con-
ferences yesterday were: Charles F.
Porter. Of Orleans County, and s. s.
Comfort. of Chemung County.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. 1t is Just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow
els must be kept active. This is i'm
portant at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh ply
sizes. Youth may occasionally whip
the bowels into activity. But a lash
can't be used every day. What the
bowels need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets, and they cost
