How Gold Causes Kidney Disease.

Partly by driving blood from the sur

partly by throwing too much work upon
them. Foley Kidney Pills strengthen
the kidneys, give tone to the urinary or

the bladder. They are tonic in action,
quick in results. Try them. A. J.

MOTHERHOOD
SUGGESTIONS
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one 10 most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how 10 properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with an organism untitled
for the trial Of strength, and when it
is over her system has received a shock
from which it is hard to recover. Fol-
lowing right upon this comes the ner-
vous strain Of caring for the child, and
a distinct change in the mother results.
There Is nothing more charming than
q happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is that,
with all the evidence of shattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an un-
prepared condition, and with ample time
in which to prepare, women will persist
in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetable Com
pound, most valuable tonic and invig-
orator of the female organism.

Several months ago he was a candi-

ranged, however, and he decided to
enter the contest for congressman for

TUGS ENROUTE
HERE FOR THE
BIG DRY DOCK
DOCKING MASTER OF NEW YORK
FIRM Is HERE TO sUPERIN-
TEND MOVING 1T TO NEW YORK
AND TWO TUGS ARE EXPECTED
TO ARRIVE HERE BEFORE MAY
4

For the purpose of experimenting
the moving Of the dock recently pur-
chased from the government by his
firm, Capt S. N. Wessberg, docking
master for the firm of James Sheewan
g. Sons, of New York, Is now in the
city making preparations for the NOV
ing of the big dock. Mr.. James Shee-
wan, who has been in the city for the
past several weeks, left yesterday for
New York, leaving Capt Wessberg In
charge.
Capt. wessberg, who has been with
the firm for twelve years, is a man OF
vast experience in the shipbuilding
business, and is perfectly familiar
with the kind of work he has before
him In moving the dock to New
York.
He said to a representative of The
Journal last night that he thought the
two tugs, Mary Scully and NJ. E.
Luchenhach, which are on the way
here from New York, would be able
to tow the dock without trouble. The
tugs left New York on Thursday and
are expected to arrive here by, or be-
fore, May 1st. AS soon as the tugs
arrive and the dock can be gotten in
tow the long journey to New York will
be begun. This will be sometime be-
tween May LIST and May Srd, according
to Capt. Wessberg.
While the firm of James Sheewan &
Sons have been the real owners of the
dock since the sale several weeks ago,
it was only yesterday that the official
transfer of the dock was made and the
government relieved of all RESPONSE
bility in the matter.
Capt. Wessberg said last night that
a few Of the men at the yard would
be employed from now until the dock
is towed away, in order to help get
it started on its journey.
The dock will be towed out into the
basin of the bay today by ons of the
tug boats of the Aiken Tow Boat Com
psny and will be gotten into such
shape that when the tugs from New
York arrive nothing will remain but to
get the dock in tow and proceed with
