How Cold Causes Kidney
Disease

Partly by driving blood from the
surface and congesting the kidneys
and partly by throwing too much
work upon them. Foley Kidney
Pills strengthen the kidneys, give
tone to the urinary organs and re-
store the normal action of the
bladder. They are tonic in action,
quick in results. Try them.

EXTRA SESSION

If Wo nlrov Wilson succeeds in
maintain g his popularity after the
extra sesa.uu of congress is over, hi
will assure the democratic party Il lore
tenure in olfi>e.
Extra sessions of congress have moi
usually turned out well for those presi
dents who called them.
Grover Cleveland went into office in
1898. There was behind hin popular
vote and an electoral vote as impressive
as That received by any other man
Hntil Mr.. Wilson's overwhelming
victory.
Mr.. Cleveland was unfortunate in
being contemporaneous with period
of hard times which had its beginning
in the administration of Mr.. Harrison.
Mr.. Harrison was in no sense respon-
sible for the p@nic. 1t was due to con-
ditions that we're world wide. There
had been trem endous speculation and
expansion the world over. South
America had been exploited. The first
thunder clap of the impending storm
was the failure of Barring Bros. in Lon
DON.
We had then, as we have now, rot
ten financial system, whose weakness
is always accumulated in times of de-
preston. At the session of congress
follwing The Inauguration of Mr.. Cleve-
land the god standard and the free sill
yer forces began struggle for the mas
terry. a former compromise had result J
ted in the Sherman purchasing act,
which forced the United States govern
ment TO become customer, regardless
OF its needs of the silver mine owners. |
We saw the gold reserve of the United |
States melt.
Later on we saw democrats betray |
their party and the people in tariff
bill. Mr.. Cleveland and his party sep
arated. Whether Mr.. Cleveland ceas-
ed TO be democrat, or whether the
ntrolIing forces in the party became
herCtics, is question that men still
argue.
The republicans quickly gained con-
troll of certain departments of govern
ment, and ia 1896 Mr.. Mckinley beat
Mr. Bryan.
Mr.. Mckinley had an extra session,
and but fer fortuitous war he, to,
might have had trouble in securing a
re election.
President Taft had two extra sessions
and his undoing began at the first.
When Mr.. Wilson calls congress into
extra session he will have a tremen-
dous majority in the lower house and
very probably working majority in
the senate. The paramount issue will
be the tariff. A reciprocity agreement
will be attempted. The United States
will have up the matter of the treaty
with Russia, which President Taft has
If congress trims on these
questions, there will be tro2ble; but if
non gress carries out the letter and the
spirit OF the democratic platform and
acts quickly, then the country will get =
what it apparently voted for.-Mem-
