C THE WASHINGTON TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2G, 1910. 1 1 k i a CALL IS IDE H) TO V QLUNTEERS BLWELIFF 1 Thousand Wanted to Conduct "Tag Day" Tomorrow to Help War Sufferers. PLAN TO CO-ORDINATE WORK Meeting at Eighth Street Tem ple Outlines Campaign for More Simple System. Calls for 1,000 volunteers to aid the Washington Peoples' Relief Committee for Jewish Wnr Sufferers who will conduct a "Tag Day" tomorrow have been sent throughout the city. Names of men and women who are willing to serve at the "Tag Day" stations are being received at 1223 Sixth street northwest. To co-ordinate all Hobrow war-rc-llef work In Washington, and espe cially to collect weekly contributions of at least 25 cents from Hebrew families not now aiding to that ex tent, preliminary steps toward an or eanlzatlon to bo patterned after the "Women of the Hour" In New York, were taken at a mass meeting at tho Eighth Street Temple yesterday. Nearly fifty delegates, from half as many Hebrew women's church and lay organization, were present. At the suggestion of Mrs. Abram Simon, who was actlvo In starting tho movement, the delegates decided to report tho plans back to the bodies they ropresent before deflnlcly committing the latter to the new federation. As soon as these reports are approved, a meet ing to complete the organization will be called by Mrs. Louis Ottonberg, who was chosen chairman. Miss Wolf, representing the Zlonldt Society, which is one of ten or more bodies now raising funds In -the Dis trict for Hebrew reller, cautioned against hasty action which might re xult In duplicating work already un dertaken. As soon as the federation niflkes sure that It can act as a clear ing house for funds raised by all or most of such bodies, a system of en velopes similar to that used by tho American Jewish Relief Committee In New York will probably be provided, and collections made by volunteer workers and through the department stores and markets. Tho funds collected probably will be turned over by Mrs. Giles Heilprlnie. who was chosen treasurer, to Julius l'cyser, for distribution through, his office to the war sufferers. Mrs. Emanuel Simon volunteered to net as secretary for tho local commit tee. It will require regular contribu tions from ut least 1,000 women, she told the meeting, to keep up the relief work on the scale which leaders of the move ment hope Washington will bo able to maintain. Tho following ladles, most of whom were present yesterday, will seek tho approval of the now movement by their respective bodies: Mrs. Simon. Sister hood; Mrs. Rohn. Alliance; Mrs. Op pcnnelm, Sixth Street Tabernacle; Mrs. A. Holm. Deborah: Mrs. Breslaw, Re nrcca; Miss Menslcy, Llbeity; Mrs. cjernsbcrKcr, Friendship: Miss Kle pntch.

"TRADING IN ENEMY" ACT WILL BE PROBED Ambassador Page Instructed to Discuss Matter With Officials of Great Britain. HEBREW WAR FUND CRY For the first time in the history of the Jews of the United States a general appeal has been made in aid of suffering Jews suffering not from natural but unnatural causes. A million of human beings are in dire distress and want, and all precedents have been broken in the Senate of the United States by having passed a resolution calling upon the Presi dent of the United States to issue a proclamation to aid these sufferers. The President has fixed Thursday, January 27. And in addition to this ringing patriotic proclamation, I add my humble voice 'in asking my fellow citizens of Washngton, in whose midst I have lived for fifty-four years, and whoso liberality an'd good will I appreciate, to contribute cheerfully to this fund, whose object is to humanize and restore in a measure the fallen fortunes of the victims of oppression and war. This appeal is not only made to my own coreligionists, but to all men and women whose hearts beat for the uplift and betterment and righteousness of all mankind. It must be conceded -that the Jew as a citizen is liberal and ever ready to contribute in all directions where' his help can be of benefit, and it has been his pride not to seek outside ajd or support, but this is an extraordinary occasion, and can. only "be met by a united . effort.' Am I appealing in vain? January 26, 1916. ' SIMON WOLF. FORD PEAG HOLDS IS E COUNCIL TSE SSION Commission Will Study War's Causes to Enable It to Ap proach Proposals.

Jan. 26,-George W. Per kins, chairman of tho cxecutlvo com mittee of tho national Progressive party, has served ngtlce on Charles D. Tillies, chairman of the Republican national committee, that Progressives will follow onlv a leader who stands for the princi ples of the partv. and who will have ability and courage to put them through. Perkins wrote to IIIUcs as follows; : "I notjeo from this morning's papers that in your statement at Chicago yes terday you said among other things: " 'From every State save one. tho Re publican committeemen report that tho breach of 1912 may be regarded as prac tically healed.' "Your statement tends to p'.ace tho Progressives In an erroneous light be fore tho voters of this country, for It conveys the impression that In every State of tho Union, savo one, the Kc publlcan and Progrcslve parties have already come together. This is not tho case. "Take the election In Massachusetts last fall. Tho election of a Republican governor there was not a Republican victory. It was distinctly a l'rogrc"sKo victory. The Republican camildate wan only elected because he was openly sup ported by Progressives, and he himself very frankly admitted this after elec tion. Tho Massachusetts Progressives at the time made It very clear that the matter was purely a local fight and must in no way be taken to mean that they would vote the Republican national ticket in 1916. "In Kentucky tho Republican candi date for Governor was defeated last fall because Progressives in sufficient number refused to vote for him an J voted for their own candidate. In Now York State only tills last November, without any State-wide campaign, more men enrolled as Progressives than voted for the Progressive candidate for gov ernor the year before.

Rheumatism Is a direct result of eat ing, too much meat und other rich foooj that produce uric Ucid, which Is ab sorbed into tho blood, it is the func tion of tho kidneys to filter this a'U from tho blood and cast it out in the urine; tho poies of the t-kin alo also a means of fleeing the blood of tills im purity. In damp and chilly cold weath er tho skin poles uic iloned, tliUd lore lug the kldncs to do double work; they become weak and sluttish and tail to eliminate the uric acid, which keeps ac cumulating and circulating through tbo system, eventually settling in tho jolr.ls and muscles, causing stiffness, suio ness and pain called iheumatlsin. At the first twlnso of rheumatism yet from any pharmacy about four ouncs of Jad Baits; put a tablespoonful In n glass of water and drink before break fast each morning for a week.
