within short time Wheat was plenti-
full in district not far away, but there
were no facilities for transporting it to
the starving sufferers
For this reason the committee has
purchased the 200 trucks from the
American Government, and plans to
buy more from the British Army,
which, though impeded by the necessi-
ties of military operations, has greatly
aided the distress in the Near East.
AS consequence of malnulrition,
sickness is rife in many communities
throughout the Near East. : Diseases
which the people could resist if they
were adequately nourished have taken
root throughout all this territory on
account of the wasted bodies of the
whole population. Representatives of
the committee report that aside from
starvation the sanitary conditions are
revolving and that children so un-

WOMEN OF AMERICA
Greatly Benefited by the War

So many of the aches and pains
of the female sex can be traced d.
rectly to catarrh and catarrhal con-
ditions, that thousands of women
have found Peruna Just what they
needed.
Peruna is for catarrh and catar-
rhal conditions in any organ or any
part of the body. Whether it be
catarrh Of the stomach, bowels, or
other organs, Peruna is just as eff
fective as for catarrh of the head
and throat.
1t is by encouraging a rich, pure
blood supply to all parts of the
body that Peruna allays the in
f1ammation and congestion, and
produces health in the mucous lin
ings everywhere. This remedy,
which for forty-fve years has been
the standard treatment for catarrh
in all its forms, regulates the d.
gestive organs and helps eliminate
the wastes and poisons resulting
from catarrhal conditions. This
foetid matter may frequently find
Judgment in the system and then
do irreparable harm.
The experience of Mrs. Albert
Huet of 264 Hackmatack st., South
Manchester, Conn.,, is an indication
of the great good which Peruna is
accomplishing for the sex. She
writes: 81 had catarrh Of the
stomach, bowels and liver. l sought
a cure everywhere but sad to say
was finally obliged to take my bed.
| wish you could understand my
feeling toward your Life-saver, Pc
runa. I have taken Peruna and to-
day can say, Thank God for a good
stomach and appetite. Thanks to
Peruna once more. I work in
mill and at home. Sometimes ]
work at night. l find myself get
ting stronger all the time"
Mrs. Huet gained in weight from
90 to 120 pounds.
Such a story carries a message
OF hope and happiness to every
person, man or woman, suffering
from catarrh.
Peruna is sold everywhere.

BE CAREFUL AFTER FEVER,
COLD OR GRIP
Many Fatal Cases of Kidney Trouble Can
be Traced to Some Infectious Disease.

Colds, fevers and infectious diseases
very often leave the kidneys weak. SO
little attention is given the condition of
the kidneys during recovery from the
original trouble that severe attack of
kidney disease often follows. Here's how
it happens. The kidneys are worked hard
enough in healthy times. They have to
filter the blood. In any germ disease the
blood is loaded with extra poisons made
by the disease germs. This overwork
tends to weaken the kidneys. After colds,
grip, scarletfever, typhoid, measles, pneu-
monia: diphtheria, tonsilitis or chicken
pox, watch for backache and urinary dis
orders, and promptly use Doan's Kidney
Pills. Belfast people have found Doan' S
reliable in many forms of kidney trouble.
Here is Belfast woman's experience;
Mrs. C. C. Cunningham, 81 Court ST.,
says: "LaSt winter l was taken with
grip and after l recovered | noticed my
kidneys were disordered. My back ached
and got so bad l couldn't even dress my
self and many days l had to let my house,
WORK go undone. Dizzy spells came over
me and l was obliged to lie down, as it
seemed to blind me for the time being.
was very miserable and went to Bank S
Drug Store and got Doan's Kidney Pills.

of kidney trouble entirely and | am now

Thousands upon thousands of
girls and women, who willingly
and enthusiastically picked up the
industrial burdens which the men
laid down to go to war, found them
selves physically unfit. 1t has been
discovered that one Of the greatest
destroyers Of woman's health is ca
tarrh.
Catarrh in some form, not nee
essarily Of the head, but in any or
gan or part, has slowly and subtly
undermined the general health. Ca
tarrh will attack the mucous mem
branes in any part Of the body and
the person even mildly afflicted
with the disease is seriously han
dicapped.

FTNfIE diplomatic prominence Of Repub-

administration was emphasized once more
In the rufnor that Vance Mccormick
was TO be made ambassador to France.
Although the announced appointment Of
Mr.. Wallace, of Washington, sets this tale
at rest it does not by itself alter a rather
curious diplomatic situation. The ingrati-
atlng and highly competent Mr.. Hcrrick
and the rather colorlcss Mr.. Sharp, whose
resignation from tho Paris post has now
been accepted were both from Ohio. Mr..
Penfield however, was a Pennsylvania at
the late Austrian court, and Roland Nor
rls, of this city, is now the American
iegate to Japan. The Danish post is va
cant. but Mr. Egan, a Philadelphia by
birth, was its last occupant
Mr.. Wilson's native Virginia can claim
diplomatic recognition at Madrid with Mr..
Willard and at Rorno with Thomas Nelson
Page, but il is fact that the real South
has had TO be content with some Of the
humber diplomatic offices. The situation
suggests that the European chancelleries
may be getting the notion that there are
really a whole lot Of Democrats of Penn

nations is necessary to disseminate accur-
ate information and prevent misconcep-

YEARNS

Tn SPITE Of reports Of unemployment
from all parts of tho country, tho De-
partmcnt Of Labor In Washington Is con.
iident that within two or three months the
demand for labor will be greater than tho
supply. The farms will need 100000 un'
skilled laborers IN the spring and the fac
tories will be iu the market for the same
class OF workers and will bid against the
farmers. Building operations. suspended
during the war. will be resumed and skilled
labor will be needed. Philadelphia opinion
supports this view. for local builders are
expecting Unprecedented activity sooi.
There is encouragement in these COM
ments on the outlook for labor II Con.
gress would do its duty, the situation would
be improved at once. Much OF tho present
