hactive Kidneys
 Cause Disease e
T shall not soon forget the benefits deriv ed from the use of Foley Kidney Piils."-AL A. Godfrey, Forest Grove, Oregon.
License No. B6S84


 Too much work and too little work seem to have about the same effect on persons past middle age. Proper action of the kidneys is necessary to good health. They act as a filter and remove from the blood poisonous waste matter which If permitted to remain in the system leads to many complications.
 Many nervous, tired. run-d down men and women suffer from pains in the back and sides, dizzy spells, bladder weakness sore muscles and stifr joints and fall to realize that rheuma. tism. diabetes or even Bright's dis ease may result
 If you have cause to believe that your kidneys are weak, disordered or inactive you should act immediately. Foley Kidney Pills have been used by young, middle aged and old with complete satisfaction. They act quick. ly and sure ly and have given relief in cases of ten years standing.

Canadian Potato Growers
Predict 30cts Per Bushel

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 9.-Many
farmers in the northwest are con
tracing to sell their entire crop OF
potatoes this fall for 30 cents a bushel
according to information obtained by
F. F. Edmond of Winnipeg, Man, who
is representing the Grand Trunk Pa
cific line of elevators. The impress
sion is fast gaining ground that there
will be an enormous crop of tubers
and that the northwest will be flooded
with them next fall. The contracts
at 80 cents are for September and
October delivery, Mr.. Edmund said.
Consumers in Canada did not suf-
fer from high prices or potatoes last
winter as they did in the United States
acCOrdinT to Mr.. Edmund While
prices in the United States were 81
a bushel, in Canada consumers were
paying $50 and earlier in the season
only 50 cents.

Over the Grade, Nobody Hurt

VIM. Spain and wife had a
lucky escape the other day when his
car took a plunge down the creek
bank at st. Lawrence. In swinging
out of the road to pass another vehicle
a wheel got over the edge. Realizing
that he could not get back on the
road, Mr.. Spain turned his front
wheels and drove the car straight
over a fifteen foot enbankment. The
damage was not serious to the car.
and no one hurt.
Chas. Halbig, who had a mishap at
the bridge east of town, says that If
he had turned his car and drove into
the ditch head on, there would have
been nc tip over, or damage to his
car. Experienced drivers say that
when a car starts to sliding on a
"sideling" grade 1t Is best to turn the
front wheels, drive into the ditch and
stop the car. This will usually avoid
turning over, and may save life or
limb.

To Stop Grasshopper Pest
With Home Made Device

Wolsey-The McFarling brothers,
living on a farm near WOlsey, have
arranged an ingenious device for
discriminating grasshoppers, which
are becoming numerous in some part,
of the state and threaten great de-
struction to late crops. Within a
short time after placing their con-
~trivance in commission the brothers
captured five bushels of grasshoppers.
The grasshoppers fly against the de
vice and drop down into a box from
which they are unable to escape. The
device will be kept in use until all the
grasshoppers on their farm are exter-
minated.

To Be
PUT On SALE
IN LAKE co.

A meeting of officers and workers of
the Lake county branch of the Anti
tuberculosis organization was held in
Gary this afternoon and plans were made
for distributing and placing on sale the
Red Cross seals.
Communications from Chicago have
recently been received in East Chicago
asking that Christmas seals be pur-
chased from the Chicago office Plant
superintendents, managers and citizens
generally will no doubt desire to buy
quantities Of these Red Cross Christmas
seals. but it is well TO remember that
all money sent to the Chicago office
for seals will go into a fund for fight
ing tuberculosis in Illinois. while money
expended in this region will afford re-
lief for the situation in Indiana.
Many Of our people feel that Iili-
nois is big enough TO take care of it
self and that citizens of this state
should not be called upon to furnish
funds for any other state where condi-
tions are approximately equal
At the Gary meeting today arrange
ments were made for putting out these
seals in Lake county and these arrange
ments VIII be published in these col
umns tomorrow. 1t is suggested that
those who contemplate purchases of this
kind defer such purchase until inrorma-
tion pertaining to local conditions is at
hand
