His Sixteen Years.
Suffering Not0 Ended

'T can say with the greatest of
pleasure that Foley Kidney Pills were
the only thing that gave me relief
In sixteen years."
Mr.. G. w. Henderson Of Dingle,
Miss, says more than that, too. He
suffered with cystitis inflammation
of the bladder). 1t went on until he
reached the point where he had dizzy,
weak spells, and sometimes he would
almost faint with pain. OF course,
he doctored, went off to the mineral
springs and drank waters of different
kinds, which altogether cost him a
large sum of money. Still no per-
manent relief. Now comes a friend
who recommends Foley Kidney Pills,
and after using half a dozen bottles,
his pains are all gone, he sleeps
soundly all night.
When kidney and bladder trouble
comes on you and you suffer the pains
and aches 1t causes, have. Irregular,
painful secretions and burning SEN
sation, take Foley's Kidney Pills at
once and you will echo Mr.. HepdeTs
seas sentiments.

Months of Preparations and Planning Prefaced the Drive Soon

~ WASHINGTON, March 12.-Post- CTS proclaiming the Third Libery Loan in striking phrases and color ful designs-nine million of them in more than dozen styles-now are being distributed to every city and hamlet of the United States.
 They are the silent sales agents of the bonds, and their preparation has taken months of planning and careful choosing. Hardly had the Second Liberty Loan campaign closed before the country's foremost artists and designers were invited to go to work on posters for the Third Loan.
 The result is a collection of strik- ing posters, considered artistically and psychologically better than any yet attempted in the two pre- vious loan drives. Soon they will be familiar sights in store windows, on bill boards and all public places.
 In addition, five million window stickers, 50.OOO.O0O poster stamps, and 16.00O.000 badges have been ordered and will be ready for the opening day of the campaign.

 The Pacific Steamship Company is the only American organization op- erating ships on regular schedule from Puget Sound to the Orient. Japanese steamship lines control nearly all of this trade, and almost every month sees an increase in the number of liners from Nippon. The importance, therefore, of the opera tion of this one American line over seas out of Seattle is self evident. Behind the actual need of these ships in the Oriental trade is the encouragement which their success fui operation will give to the de- velopment of the American mer- chant marine in the foreign trade. -( Railway and Marine News.)

CAUCUS IS CALLED FOR FRIDAY NIGHT
 AT SCHOOL HOUSE

DOUGLAS, March 12.--In keeping with the custom the city council last night named Friday night of this week as the time the Assembly room of the school house as the place for holding caucus for the purpose of placing in nomination candidates for the city council, sev- en being the number to be elected, and also candidates for the school board on which there will be two vacancies. All voters are eligible to attend and participate in the meet ing.
 There was but little business, oth- CT than that of routine nature, be- fore the council last night when all the members, except Young, were present.
 The business at the City Dock for the preceding week was reported at $87305 and coal on hands as amount ing to 234 tons.
 The finance committee reported cash on hands to the amount of $4,06467 and from that amount bills amounting to $1,647.6S, of which $1,- 500 was for the school, were paid.
