RED CROSS IN RoUMANIA
Million Meals Served to Poor purino
Month of April.

Correspondence Associated Press.)
bucharest, June - One million
meals were issued to Roumania's poor
by the American Red Cross during the
month of April. This doubtless saved
hundreds of destitute persons who
, might otherwise have succumbed to
starvation. The Department of Civilian
Relief Of the Roumanian Mission OF
the American Red Cross which is I'M
der the direction of Major George
Twose. OF Chicago, and Miss Florence
M. Patterson, Of Burlington, Wis, now
has relief stations and canteens at
Constanza, Calatz Braila, Focsani,
Jassy, Buzeu, Ilfov, Budesti, PatIoee.
Pitesti, Campalone, RAM Serat and
Bucharest.
At Focsani alone more than 10000
meals are given out weekly to the des-
titute population. All these cities are
centers for large number Of villages
From one Of these centers the
Americans often may serve with re-
lief supplies from 100 to 800 villages.
In addition to feeding those who are
not able to provide for themselves. the
big American relief organization is
supplying the local hospitals and char
table institutions with medicines,
clothing and whatever miscellaneous
material it has,
With the arrival at Galatz this week
OF thousands of additional tons OF
food. Colonel H. Gideon Wells, of Chi
cago, Chief of the Roumanian Mission,
plans to extend the activities of his
organization SO that every deserving
Roumanian shall receive help.
The United States naval transport
Lake Elizabeth, the big relief ship
chartered specially by the American
Red Cross to bring supplies to Rou-
mania, has arrived with great quanti-
ties Of food, oil, soap, hospital supplies,
clothing, sheets. thread, needles and
sewing machines.
The American Red Cross is endeav-
oring to meet the great need among
the poor for clothing. It already has
given out such a great number of gar
ments that its stocks have been great
ly depleted. But Colonel Henry w.
Anderson, Chief Commissioner OF the
American Red Cross for the Balkan
states, who came to Roumania on the
Lake Elizabeth, said he expected soon
to receive several thousand additional
tons Of clothing from America.

CAPITAL RENTALS ARE HIGH
Sum Paid by President Washington
for Residence Would Not Be Con-
sidered Extravaeant To-day.

Rentals Of $500 to $4,000 year
are not remarkable. There are hun
dreds of apartments in this city which
rent for more, q great deal more, and
it is likely that the new constructions
in the best apartment-house sections
contain no suites as cheap as $1,000.
When New York was the capital Of
the nation and Washington the chief
executive there were few who paid as
high as $1,000 year for homes. Rec
ords show that George Washington
paid $500 year for the use Of the
McComb mansion on Broadway while
president of the United States AS
first citizen Of the country it was al
lowable that he should pay 80 high
rental, but only the president paid
anything like that amount He got u
good deal more for his money than
the man who pays $500 for an apart
ment today.
The McComb house was one of the
finest homes in the capital. 1t was
built by the best architect in the
| colonies and great care and no small
amount OF money were spent in the
construction of the house, which was
large and had many splendid rooms.
1t had beautifully laid out grounds
and from a business standpoint was
ideal because it was only short dis
lance from Federal hall at the north
east corner of Wall and Nassau
streets, now the subtreasury, Wash
ington extended himself when he paid
this rental although one of the rich

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they
think something is the matter with their
lungs or heart. and well they may be; but
few people understand the dangers of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have duty
of vital Importance to perform, and if they
are diseased, there is no telling how or
where The symptoms may appear. The
kidneys are filters, and when they are
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purify it, When The kidneys
are diseased, the poisons are spread every
where. and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all through
the system and deposited in various places,
in tue form cf urate salts-in the feet,
ankles. wrists and back-often forming
bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result
ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago,
sciatica and baclsache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis.
ease.
DR.. Pierce. of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that certain combna-
ftion of remedies would dissolve uric acid
turate salts) in the system. He found this
combination to be harmless, so that he
made it up in tablets, of double strength,
and called them Anuric Tablets. They
dissolve uric acid in the human system as
hot coffee dissolves sugar. If you have
uric acid troubles. don't delay in taking
Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in
the drug stores. You can write Dr. Pierce
too. and he will tell you what to cat and
how to live SO that more uric acid will moi
form in your system. DR.. Pierce will moi
charge for this advice.
