House, satd to-day to the Associated Press: "Colonel House is still in bed with a slight attack of indiges tion. He is better and will be out again In a few days." slstance to a woman with but one child, the appropriation—up to the present—has been so inadequate that the majority of counties have waived such applications tn favor of the more heavily burdened mother. A county's share of the state ap propriation is governed by its popu lation; the year's budget for this county amounts to $8,919.93, drawn from the state and county funds. Of this sum, ten per cent, may be used for office expenses. All applications should be made to the board of trustees which has been appointed by the Governor. These trustees are required to make thorough investi gation before recommending appli cants and are also required to keep careful supervision of the progress of the assisted families, especially as to health and school attendance of the children. The purpose of the law is to pre vent the breaking up of families for poverty alone and to insure to the future citizens of the state a mother's care, a home environment and the opportunity to receive an education.

At Drtutslata GREECEPUTSHER i CLAIMS BEFORE PEACE DELEGATES Includes Half Million Greeks in America in Her Statistics By Associated Press I Paris, Jan. 15. —Greece has laid before tho peace conference a mem - ! orandum signed by Premier Vetii zeloB, setting forth the situation of Greece and her claims Ih the settle ment of the war. The memorandum says the Hellenic nation consists of 8,256,000 persons, of whom 55 per cent, live in the kingdom of Greece and the remainder outside its ?iiixitsp Half a million Greeks in America are included in the figures submitted. Wishing to reunite tho Greek pop ulation in the Balkans, Asia Minor and the islands adjacent to the king dom, Greece asks, lirut, northern Epirus, which contains 120,000 Greeks against 80,000 Albanians. It says -that "the former, besides being in tho majority, also possess a higher form of civilization. Asks For Thrace As a second demand, Greece asks for Thrace, without Constantinople. Thrace, according to the memo randum, is peopled largely by Greeks. "Since Constantinople, according to the twelfth point of President Wilson's program, cannot remain under Turkish rule," the memoran dum declares, "the natural solution would be to award Constantinople to Greece and to establish interna tional guarantees for the freedom of tlite straits." It is pointed out that the principal native element of the population of Constantinople is Greek, being num erically greater than "all the other nationaities put together except the Turks.'} "But if a society of nations be established immediately," the mem orandum continues, "Constantinople might, in consequence of great in ternational interests connected witli the possession of the straits, be formed as a ..separate entity by the Society of Nations, which would nominate its governor for certain fixed periods." llcr Third Ciaiiu The third territorial claim made by Greece Is for parts of Vilayets in Agfa Minor. These have a popula tion. It is said, of 1,188,000 Greeks against 1,042,000 Mohammedans and are claimed to be both "geographi cally and historically integral parts of Greece." The Armenian provinces, with Russian Armenia, the memorandum says, should be erected into arate state, organization of vHTlch should be entrusted' to one of the great powers by the society of na tions. It is admitted that the vila yets of Trebison and Adana, has re spectively, 350,000 and 70,000 Greek inhabitants as attached to the new Armenian state. All islands In the Near East are ethnographically, geographically and economically Greek must return to the Hellenic state. These should in clude islands which, according to the treaty made in London in April, 1915, are to be annexed to Italy. Walts, Edwin Crull Wells, Charle3 Edward Weitmyer, Willinva G.

Stop now—think—kidney diseases caused 100,000 deaths last year. Are you going: to be included in this year's toll? Why, you will exclaim, do so many die, why are the health au thorities so concerned; the answer is, we bolt down our food, take no ex ercise, neglect our sleep and other wise subject our system to all sorts of abuse. Is it any wonder then the kidneys become diseased and fall in their duties of poison elimination? Poisons are constantly being cre ated In oui bodies and if the kidneys fail to carry them oft they are ab sorbed by he blood causing ill health and misery in the form of headaches, backaches, tired feeling, Indigestion, etc. You may avoid considerable suff ering If you heed nature's warnings and assist the kidneys.
