It not only robs you of all your strength and energy, but it affects the other important organs of the body as well. Nervousness, head ache, disordered stomach, liver trouble. bad eyesight, are only some of the con- ditions that follow kidney trouble.
 Foley Kidney Pills help the sick weak kidneys to regain their normal healthy state and activity. When they are again able to do their work effectively, your system is no longer choked and blocked with poisonous waste matter.

President Wilson has decided to at
tend the peace conference, which will
be held in France. Now there are
some papers-they chance to be OF
Republican persuasion--who are at.
tempting to criticise him for such de-
cision. The reason for this Is mot diff
ficult to discover. Such papers have
in a way upheld the President during
the progress of the war, largely be-
cause it was the one course left open
to them. Their present position dem
onstrates that such action was forced.
Now, Immediately !, after hostilities
cease, they get busy with their pitch
forks and attempt Ht5 gig him. By
what right do they attempt to tell
President Wilson what he should do /?
Has he not given sufficient demon
stration of his ability to do and to
speak for himself? If he believes
that he can render good and efficient
service, to America by personally ap-
pearing in that conference, as his de-
termination to attend such conference
signifies, then what right has any
true American to object? Remem-
Der that hereafter iAmefiea is To- be

20O,O TONS OF U. S.
FOOD CROSSING SEA

Washington, Nov. 19.-Ships carry
ing 100000 tons Of food for the pop
ulations of Northern France, Belgium
and Austria now are en- route to Eu-
rope. They are proceeding under
scaled orders to Gibraltar and Bristol
Channel ports, and on arrival will
await word from Food Administrator
Hoover as to their final destinations.
Those going to Gibraltar are expect
ed to proceed to Adriatic and Medi-
terranean ports, and the others to
French and Belgium ports.
One of the last acts of Hoover be-
fore sailing last Saturday for Europe
was to appoint a special shipping
committee, headed by Theodore Whit
marsh of the Food Administration to
cooperate with the Shipping Board
and the Commission for Relief in Bel
GUM, in facilitating the shipment of
food to the demoralized civilian pop
ulations the countries devastated by
war.
Neither the number of ships in
volved in the present movement, nor
the proportion that would be diverted
at Gibraltar for relief of Southern
Europe and the near East could be
learned at the Food Administration
1t was stated that final arrangements
for feeding the peoples freed from
the yoke of German militarism is
awaiting the arrival of Hoover in
Europe and the result of his survey
of the situation there.
The purpose of sending some of the
ships now going to Gibraltar and
Others to the channel ports, it was ex-
planned, was to have Immediately
available at convenient ports sup
plies to ship quickly where Hoover
finds the need to be the most urgent.
Officials here of the Commission for
Relief in Belgium believe the desti-
nation of the ships on their way to
Gibraltar is the port of Trieste. The
ships now on their way are under
stood to be the first that have left
American ports with food for countries
other than Northern France and Bel
GUM. 1t was said that more than
100000 tons of food monthly will be
required to relieve distress in Cen
trial Europe and the near East.
Increased shipments from American
ports and the Argentine for the peo-
pies of liberated Northern France and
Belgium started several weeks ago.
Austria's Situation Grave, Says Pub
lie Works Minister.
Vienna via Basel, Switzerland),
Nov. I'm. Zerbik, the Minister of
Public Works, has asked the Aus
trian Foreign Minister to address
telegram to the Governments of the
United States, Great Britain and
France, showing the extremely criti-
cal situation in Austria concerning
coal and food.
The Public Works Minister says
there is no coal for the heating of
houses, and that the supply for cook
ing will not last more than a week.
Mills and bakeries will be compelled
to close, he adds, within few days.
No further coal supplies are avail
able to keep the railways running,
he says, and the gas and electricity
services in Vienna cannot be kept go
ing more than two or three weeks.

WORLDWIDE GERMAN PEACE
PROPAGANDA CENTERS IN U. s.

Washington, Nov. 18.-Government
agents see evidences that German
propaganda machinery in the United
States is being put in working order
| again to promote sentiments of leni-
ency toward Germany for effect on
the peace terms. A concerted move
ment is apparent, officials said TODAY,
in utterances of many individuals, a
few organizations formerly active for
German interests, and some newspa-
pers. ',L1
The interest of the Government
agents combating enemy propaganda
at this time is not to suppress free
expression of opinion, it is explained,
but to fight any concert of propagan-
dists whose purpose would be to con-
found the authorized spokesman of the
nation in Forthcoming peace negotia-
tions.
1t is stated that Department of JUS
tice agents have obtained the intern
ment of some Germans since the ar
mistice was signed a week ago.
Official reports show German rep
resentatives in various parts of the
world still actively engaged in spread
ing propaganda to create and enhance
feelings of hostility toward the Unit
ed States and the allied countries.
Eckhardt, the notorious German Am
bassador at Mexico City, again is re-
ported doing his utmost to make
Mexico hostile to the United States,
and is able to have misleading arti-
cles published in the semi-official
Mexican papers. Recently he had
published throughout Mexico that the
German army had not been defeated
and that the German navy was still
fighting the allied navies.
