Of YEARS AGO
Soldiers of 81 Gave Washing
ton the Appearance of
q Vast Camp.
HISTORIC POINTS LISTED

Washington has many men in uni
forms about the streets today. but with
o world war on hand and with the best
brains, business ability and scientific
talent of the country modified here to
help the United States win the war, the
city does not present the military ap-
pearance it did more than a half CEN
tury ago.
In the National Capital in 1861 there
were camps and field hospitals which
Sn pictures look much the same as the
cantonment that is now being built on
the Patterson tract for a training
school for machinists.
In the days of 81 the soldiers were
quartered in churches. halls. places
that are today the best business locali-
ties. even in the Senate and House
chambers at the Capitol. and In the
Treasury and the Patent Office.
= In Shadow of Capitol Dome.
Under the very shadow OF the Capt.
t9fs dome there were camps. as is
shown in an accompanying picture of
Soldiers Rest" This was the site of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad station
at New Jersey avenue and C street
northwest. Here. the arriving troops
were temporarily Quartered.

Conditions Fifty Years Ago.
These visualize for the mind of to-
day the conditions that existed fifty
years ago. when the city was virtually
given over to military affairs. There
were large hospitals for the soldiers
everywhere.
and Sd streets northwest was the
site of Trinity Hospital; North Capitol
and streets was the site of St Alo-
ysius Hospital: 364 street northwest
was the site of a military hospital; at
Louisiana avenue and Indiana avenue
and 5th and 4th streets was the site
OF City Hall Hospital; the schoolhouse
on 9TH street opposite F street was
used as hospital: Knights of Column
bus Hall. at 9Th and E streets, was
known as Cranch Hospital; on H street
between 9Th and 10th streets was As
cension Hospital-and there were many
others.
In judiciary Square a monster bar
racks was established by using the
temporary building that had been erect-
ed for the inaugural ball.

WHY rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather
BY VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, M. D

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
inatism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance OF their
water as soon as it gets cold +; there is
often copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason

water in cold weather as in summer,
which helps to flush the kidneys. Again,
they eat more meat in cold weather, and
some people are SO susceptible that they
soon develop rheumatism after eating
meat.

copiously of hot water, say, pint
morning and night, and take Anuric
