 The reason Foley Kidney Pills act 80 satisfactorily is because they neu- tralize and dissolve the poisonous waste matter that remains in the blood because the kidneys do not do their work properly in nltering and casting out from the system uric acid and other poisons.

War Department Lowers
Minimum to Swell Ranks
of the Regulars

Washington, July 1l.-Small men
make as good soldiers as big men III
the revised opinion OF the War Depart
uent. which has instructed recruiting
stations to open the ranks Of the reg
ular army to men five feet one inch IN
height and who weigh only 10 pounds
The order was issued on the basis
of a recommendation made by Surgeon
General Gorgas. who advised that good
men were being kept out by the mini
mum height and weight limit Of five
feet four inches and 100 pounds. AS
a matter Of fact, however, recruiting
officers had been instructed not TO en-
force rigidly the height and weight
minimum limits, and there arc a con-
siderable number now in the army who
are below the five feet four require
ment
The new orders will have a wide
effect in National Guard recruiting and
probably in selections for the National
Army. Regular army standards govern
both of these services In general way.
The War Department announced
1926 enlistments in the regular army
yesterday, according to reports reach
ing here from the various recruiting
districts. New York obtained l62 Of
these recruits; Pennsylvania, 13z;
Massachusetts,, l18; Connecticut, II;
Maine, :; New Hampshire, 10; Rhode
Island, I, and Vermont, 2.
Massachusetts, is within 561 of rill-
ing her war quota of 6,732, and if she
secures recruits at the same rate as
she did yesterday. she will complete
her allotment by the first of next week.
New Jersey, which reported II re-
cruits yesterday. is now within 273 OF
filing up her quota OF 5,O74 Ii she
maintains daily average of II che
will complete her quota by the close
Of the present week.
The total enlistments in the army
since April are 1920.

ship the men abroad until early win
ter, on account OF the shortage Of
transports. The Massachusetts, Sena-
tors pointed out TO War Department
officials that it would be exceedingly
unwise 10 send Massachusetts troops
South for training and then send them
20 Northern France during the winter
season. IL was declared they could be
better acclimated II trained in New
England, where they would encounter
practically the same climatic conditions
as those in Northern France.
Senator Lodge was. bitter in his de-
nunciatlon OF the proposal.
TO send these mon down South,
where they will be subjected TO mild
climate, and then. without further ac-
climation, send them over the seas,
seems 20 me one of the worst proposals
yet advanced by the War Department"

Members Of the Massachusetts, dele.

day freely charged that the War De-
partment was prostituting the welfare
