Woman Cried With Pain

Woman Cried With Pain
 Thousands of women work today while suffering from kidney or blad- der ailments that can be relieved. Mrs. L. Wavue, 2726 3rd St., Ocean Park, Cal, writes: "I had to sit down during my housework. My back ached so, also my hip pained me so I used to cry out, the pain was so great. Now I am thankful to say that Foley Kidney Pills rid me of all my pain" Backache, sore muscles, stiff or swollen joints, rheumatic pains are indications of kidney trouble. Foley Kidney Pills are safe and reliable. They bring quick results. Freeman Dempsey, dealer.

PALMER TO MAKE
APPEAL TO WOMEN

Washington, Oct. 17.-Attorney
General Palmer and his official asso-
ciates in the fight on the high cost OF
living, determined today to enlist the
aid of the women of America.
By appealing to the comptrollers
of household finances throughout the
country, it is hoped to inauguarte an
epoch of real economy which will off
set the "buy now" propaganda of
trader peope. Furthermore an at
tempt will be made to discourage the
frequent changes in styles dictated
by the makers of women's apparel
and thereby effect saving in clothes.
Another important decision taken
at today's meeting was to release
more surplus supplies held by the
government, if it can be done with

Daniels and Chairman John Barton
Payne of the shipping board were in
vited to the conference for the first
time for that purpose. Mr.. Baker
being unable to attend, the attorney
general and Mr.. Daniels will confer

one way to beat the profteers is to
ignore propaganda saying that prices
are certain to 60 higher and wait for
the decline which officials say is in
evitable. These speakers will be

Wisconsin tuberculosis
Situation

For every two soldiers who have sur
fered leg or arm amputations there are
eighteen disabled by tuberculosis
among those taking retaining courses
under the direction of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education. ac-
cording to the official report of the
boards monthly publication, The No-
cational Summary" In spite of efforts
by draft boards and training camps TO
eliminate the tuberculous before the
troops went overseas, 5,195 soldiers OF
the American Expeditionary Forces
have been adjudged tuberculous as
compared with 10 blinded and 5000
who have lost arms or legs.
In Wisconsin, fresh impetus has been
given to the campaign against tuber-
culosis by striking revelations Of the
high prevalence of tuberculosis in army
experience. Through the Wisconsin
nti-TuberculosiS Association aud the
Red Cross. efforts are being made to in
duce the states 625 discharged tuber
culous soldiers and 1000 draft rejects
10 put themselves under expert medical
supervision for treatment, preferably
i'll most instances in a sanatorium.
70 provide treatment for those who
ave unable to enter sanatoria. the es-
adjustment of tuberculosis clinics in
all parts of the state is recommended.
Tuberculosis clinics will not only serve

but viii offer expert medical service to
all classes in the community and in

which have been discharged as ar

Several bills now before the Legisla-
ture express Wisconsius recognition
of the Importance of giving increases
momentum 10 the tuberculosis cam
paign. Especially in view of the high
percentage of tuberculosis among the
soldiers who are taking vocational
training. there is much wisdom in bill
by which the county sanatoria ask the
Legislature for authority to establish
departments of occupational therapy in
connection with their institutions. The
introduction OF supervised work as a
factor in sanatorium treatment and in
hitting the convalescent TO return to
thu tosk of earning a living is regarded
by tuberculosis experts as an important
step forward in the treatment of the
disease.

Legislature provides that county boards
of supervisors shall be authorized to es
tabliSh clinics either as Independent
county agencies or as the outpatient
department of the sanatorum i'm coun-

been made to acquaint employers Win
the needs and desires of the Negro
workers, such as better housing ana
sanitation and better schools.
1t is the opinion of those interested on
behalf OF the Negro that as Negroes
number about one-seventh of the work
ing population, they should have rep
resentation when matters are discussed
affecting their welfare. Given such
representation, 1T is held, the Negro
responds well to opportunities pre-
scented him.
In short the aim of the Negro eco
Monies work is to do away with posi-

amicable adjustment OF relations OF
white employers, Negro workers ana
white workers in order that the produc-
tive capacity of Negroes may he utilized
