Inactive Kidneys ,
 Cause Disease

T shall not soon forget the benefits derived from the use of Foley Kidney Pilh. ."-M A. Godfrey. Forest Grove. Oregon.
 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 filter and remove from the blood poisonous waste matter which if permitted to remain in the system leads to many complications.
 Many nervous. tired, rundown men and women suffer from pains in tho back and sides, dizzy spells, bladder weakness, sore muscles and stiff joints and fail to realize tn at 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. 1y and surely and have given relief in eases of ten years standing,

ultimately more than 30 per cent of the
total quantity used in the United States.
The war industries board quotes the
annual per capita consumption of the
United States and the allies as follows:
Italy, two pounds; France, three and /;
half pounds; Great Britain, four pounds;
and the United States, seven and half
pounds
England, France, and Italy arc now
chiefly dependent on imports from the
United States, as their imports from
other tobacco growing countries have
been materially reduced through lack of
shipping and inability to import from
Turkey and Bulgaria.
OF the tobacco consumed by the
Italian army and navy, probably one
third is issued free to the men in the
form Of tobacco, cigarettes, or cigars,
but only those actually at the front or
under fire are allowed free rations of
tobacco. Soldiers and sailors in the
zone of operations, but not actually at
the front, and those elsewhere, pay for
their tobacco.
Figures show a big increase in the
price of leaf tobacco in the United
States between 1914 and 1917 The
1925 crops averaged loo cents per
pound; the 1916 crop III cents, and
the 1917 crop 24.9 cents.

lie. In 1904 he retired, but returned to
his old position again three years later

During his career as an executive of
public utility corporations Mr.. Vail has
held two important principles: First
that management is inherent in owner.

that deliberate consideration of the

THEODORE N. VAIL
73 YEARS OLD TO-DAY
Telephone Pioneer Celebrates His
Birthday Anniversary at Lyndon
vile Summer Home.

NEW YORK, July 16.-Congratula-
tory messages began last night to pour
into the Office of Theodore n. Vail.
president of the American Telephone G.
Telegraph company, who is celebrating
his I'D birthday anniversary today at
his country place at Lyndon, Vt. Mr.
Vail probably has done more than any
other man to develop wire communica
ton in America. He is still active and
in intimate touch with the details of the
telephone and telegraph business.
Tt was only a little more than quar-
ter of century ago that the first long
distance telephone installation in this
country was referred to derisively as
e Wallis Folly but with a foresight
and discernment that brooked no dis
enlargement the present head of the
company worked on the perfeeting of
his idea until long distance telephone
communication reached its present stage
of development.
Mr. Vail was born in Carroll county,
Ohio, July 16, 1845. He moved to New
Jersey with his parents, but later re-
turned with them to Iowa. As youth
he exhibited an intense interest in teleg-
raphy, and in 1860, through the friend
ship of Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, at that
| time chief engineer of the Union Pa
cific, young Vail got an appointment to
the railway mail service. He rose quick
| ly to the position of assistant superin-
tendent and became general superin'
tendent in 1876.
| Two wears later Gardner G. Hubbard
father,in-law of Alexander Graham
Bell, offered him the position of general
| manager of the American Bell Co.
| which had been formed to exploit the
telephone. In 1885 Mr.. Vail resigned
the presidency of the American Bel

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Govern
ment control of the tobacco industry
of the United States may result from

meet the situation. 1t estimates that
approximately two-thirds of the leaf

tured tobacco, in addition to cigarettes
and tobacco purchased here for Bel

The crop in 1917 was 1,196,000, 00C

that s50,o00,000 pounds of leaf viii
be available for export to the allies.

SPIES should Hang,
REP. JAMES thinks
Israel Putnam's System Best, Speak
er Tells Soldiers.

when I read OF spies going around
the country, being caught red-handed
in every kind Of a damnable deed, and
see that their only punishment is to
be sentenced to three square meals a
day and to sleep in a feather bed, 1
cannot help but wish that we would
do the same thing with spies as did old
Israel Putnam said Representative
w. Frank James, of Michigan. in an
address delivered at Camp Meade last
night.
In explaining Israel Putnam's sys-
tenn, Representative James continued:
when he found a spy. he wrote this
letter: Sir Nathan Palmer, in your
kings service, was taken as a spy; he
was tried as a spy; he was condemned
as a spy; and he shall be hanged as a
spy. (SigneO Israel Putnam. P. s.
He Is hanged"
The speaker declared that he was
for any measure necessary to win
the war-even to "rations" for
civilians.
Representative Kelly, OF Pennsylva-
mia, also spoke, making an appeal for
government control of the entire food
situation.
There is enough unused land in the
State of Pennsylvania" he said. ITO
feed the entire country. II It can be
done In no other way the government
itself must take control Of the produc-
ton Of food and see that these neces-
saries Of life are produced in adequate
quantities"
