IRELAND'S POTATO CROP
MIGHT AID u. S., HE SAYS
7. p. GILL Urges That Embargo on
Emerald Isle Tubers
Be Lifted.

Urging that the bumper potato crop of
Ireland would have an effect on the high
cost of living in the United States pro-
vided the surplus Of the crop should be
permitted to enter this country, T. p.
Gill. secretary of the board of agricul-
ture Of Ireland. yesterday endeavored to
induce the horticultural board to raise
the embargo against the importation OF
potatoes from Ireland into the United
States.
Potatoes grown in the Emerald Isle
have for some time been barred from
this country because of the fear that a
potato disease widely prevalent there but
unknown In this country might be import
ed along with the tubers. Mr.. Gill in
sisted before the board that nothing is
to be feared from the disease and de-
clared that if the surplus from Ireland S
huge crop of the tubers which derive
their name from the home of the sham
rock was allowed to be imported into
this country "a marked reduction might
be expected in the price of potatoes. This
consideration, he said, should have more
weight with the board than the mere
possibility of infection with the unknown
potato disease, especially when il was
considered that the possibility Of bring
ing in the disease was somewhat remote,
as he declared.
No decision was reached at yesterday s
session, and ii is. stated the board will
not decide the question at any early date

Your Kidneys Are
to Blame

Thousands of men and women
} are unwell as the result of the kid
neys failing to filter the blood
! properly. The dangerous feature
! of kidney disease consists in its
I subtle and delusive character, and
( SO insidious are its ravages that
many victims do not suspect its
( existence until the advanced stages
have been reached. This is not
strange when we consider that the
complicated and delicate structure
of the kidneys is poorly supplied
with sensitive nerves. AS the
function of the kidneys is to re-
J move impurities. they are very
J susceptible to disease, and any dis
I order affecting them is dangerous,
as it causes impure matter to be
( retained in the blood and affects
the whole system. By restoring
the kidneys and liver to health and
J activity, Warmers Safe Kidney
J and Liver Remedy enables these
J organs to properly perform their
functions and fee the blood from
J urinary and hillary poisons. The
! experience of thirty-six years has
demonstrated the fact that it acts
specifically upon the kidneys and
liver in such a manner that it es-
( tablishes a healthy condition of
these vital organs and it has there
fore become standard remedy
for kidney and liver diseases. 1t is

USE OF FLYING BOAT
INTERESTS THE NAVY
Capt. w. I. Chambers Tells OF
g.. Progress in Aeronautics in
the Last Year.

According to Capt W. /. Chambers.
United States Navy, the pPincipal inter-
ests of the past year in the development
of naval aviation have centered in the
use of the ''nying boat and the estab-
lishment in this country of a national
aeronautical laboratory. The success OF
the former seems practically assured. and
he says will greatly facilitate the IN
vestigations Of the latter.
The navy has three flying boats. two
Curtiss and one Burgess, and will acquire
others as soon as notifications now in
sight result in improved stability and
greater lightness of hull The craftsman
ship of the scientific boat builder. Capt.
Chambers says, is now required TO de-
crease the weight while improving the
strength and sea-keeping qualities. and
experiments are under way looking to the
more extensive use of suitable metal in
the hull construction. He adds that a
comprehensive plan has been prepared
for the establishment of an adequate aero
nautic service in the navy to include also
the use Of dirigible balloons.
Broad Scheme of Cooperation.
"a broad scheme of cooperation" says
Capt Chambers. lis now in operation
whereby all institutions in the country,
public and private. are enabled to work
together in harmony. all fully informed
of the work done by each on problems
involving the scientific development of
aerial navigation. Instead of many
minds working separately. many going
over the same ground uselessly, and all
working with separate objects. 1t is now
possible to coordinate the work SO that
all can pull together and SO that all tech
nical institutions of learning throughout
the land may be able to educate that ele-
, mene most lacking at the present mo-
ment. body of scientific and practical
aeronautical engineers.
The department has taken the initia-
tive in this cooperation by detailing an
officer to visit Europe to obtain informa-
ton about the latest laboratory methods
and developments. not only to facilitate
the experimental work of the navy, but
to actively cooperate with the Langley
/ laboratory and the Institute of Tech
nology in their efforts to butld up an
effective course of instruction in the
science of aeronautics."
