Salem, July 1. After a hot fight at the meeting of the board of normal school regents yesterday, It was de-J elded that the board In Ita report to the legislature next winter would rec ommend that the normal school at Drain be abandoned and that appro priations bo mado only for the schools at Monmouth, Weston and Ashland. This dcclHlon was reached only af ter the hardest kind of a battle. The sons which were regarded as suffl the following places: Aleppo, Alex a n drill, Antung, Corlnto, Fernle, Rlume, Front era, Guadalajara, Ka rachl, Madras, Punta Arenas, Ran' goon, Salonkl, San Luis Potosl, Swa tow, Tapachula. and Tripoli. These changes are made because a redistribution of the various posts Is necessary to protect properly the Interests of American manufacturers abroad. In some Instances the posts abolished have for the last several years not only been carried on the lint at a dead loss of several thousand dollars. Take the consulate at James town, on the Inland of St. Hclcnt, for Instance. This office costs $2475 a year, while the services the consul is called upon to perform are practical ly nil. "Only $16 was received In fees last year. The United States Is the only great power now maintaining an office and its closing will result In no Injury whatever to American trudu. In the last 24 years the actual cost of the consular service amounted to $2,108,934, or an average cost of $87,- 872 a year. Need Ccancn to Exist. Many of the consulates abolished were established years ago for rea vote was flvo to four on the proposi tion. The four men who opposed me reuuction to three schools were in favor of a reduction to two. These . men were Governor Chamberlain, W. B. Ayer, H. J. Maler and E. C, Spence, Mr. Ayer Insisting that he will pre sent a minority report to the legisla ture. Superintendent of Public Instruc tion Ackerman led the fight for the reduction to three schools. He was supported by E. E. Bray and Stephen Jewell. Secretary of State Benson and Col. E. Hofer also voted for the three-chool proposition, after the mo tion to maintain four schools, which they advocated, had been lost. Representatives from present and thnt town clcnt at that time, but which no long er exist. At one time the law requlr ed that an exporter to the United States of dutiable goods must appeal In person before a consul and make oath to the correctness of his In voices, and at the solicitation of such exporters and of Importers and trade bodies In the United States ' and abroad, because of the inconvenience to shippers In being obliged to ap pear at distant towns with their in voices, consulates were established at many places where there were prac tically no other reasons for main taining a consulate. Under the pres ent laws and regulations, however, the personal appearance of the ship- Drain werepcrs is not required, but the Invoices will get the may bo sent to the consulate by mes- free use of the abandoned buildings for school purposes, If the legislature adopts the recommenda tions of the board. Secretary of Stute Benson spoke for Drain and argued that It should bo permitted to continue because it was an old school and was advantageous ly located. Governor Chamberlain reiterated his position for two schools. Mrs. S. L. Bowen of Wayne, W. Va., writes: "I was a sufferer from kid ney dsease. so that at times I could not stand straight. I took Foley's Kidney Remedy. One dollar bottle and part of the second cured me en tirely." Foley's Kidney Remedy works wonders where others are a total failure.

Consulates were also established at towns which at the time had some Importance from a consular stand point, as at Gaspe, Quebec, once a thriving center of - fishing Interests but now an unimportant and remote village. Other consulates were estab lished without reasons apparent to the department as in the case of Jap ala, Mex., which was created without the recommendation of the depart ment and for no reason known to It. MANY CHANGES IN THE CONSULAR SERVICE TO PREVENT FROST. Fresno Man Demonstrates Merita of New Device. W. H. Smith, representing the Cal ifornia Frost Prevention Co., of Fres no, presents a rather laughable spec tacle in the pavilion, where the cher rles are being displayed, demonstrate Ing his machine, says The Dalles Chronicle. The thermometer registers between 95 and 100 degrees and In Intervals while he Is not mopping the perspir ation from his face he explains the merits of his machine. The machine Is Just what Us name Implies a frost preventative. It consists of a thermometer sta tioned 200 feet from a man's house so connected with an electric battery and bell In his bedroom that when tho thermometer reaches a certain stage which Is arbitrarily fixed by the operator by setting an electric circuit Is completed and a bell Is rung so as to awaken the suhbandman that he may go to his orchard and light huge lamps of crude oil which create a smudge and prevent frost. Twenty-eight consular offices were closed, 17 new offices were establish ed, seven offices were moved and about a dozen Increases of a com plete reorganization of the United States consulur service, which be came effective July 1 under the pro visions of an act passed at tho last session of congress. Other posts wjll be awarded to consuls whose office were closed, so that none will suffer from the readjuwtment. Out of the 28 offices closed nine are located In Germany, nine In Can adu and the 10 others are scattered over the rest of tho world. The German consulates abandoned are at Annaberg, Mamberb, Crefeld, Duxseldorf,- Elbenstock, Freiburg, Glauchau, Mainz and Zlltau, while the Canadian posts closed are Belle ville, Port Hope, Port Rowan, Coat- cook, Gnspe, St. Hlyaclnthe. Three Rivers, Windsor and Woodstock. The other posts discontinued are Lucerne, St. Christopher, Jalapa, Castcllamare dl Stabia, Catania, Utlla, Funchal, Port Stanley, Antigua and Jamestown. The consular offices In Syria is transferred from Alexondretta to Merslne; that at Colllngwood, Ont., to Owen Sound; that at La Rochelle, France, to Cognac. The post at Pre toria. In South Africa. Is moved to Johannesburg. The consulate at San Juan del Norte, Nicaragua, Is chang ed to Blucflelds and that at Tuxpan, Mexico to Sallna Cruz. Erfurt, Ger many, is considered a better consular location than Weimar, and the con sulate at the latter place was moved New consulates were established at Mrs. S. Joyce, Claremont, N. H., writes: "About a year ago I bought two bottles of Foley's Kidney Rem edy. It cured mo of a severe case of kidney trouble of several years' standing. It certainly is a grand, good medlcne, and I heartily recom mend It." Pendleton Drug Co. Women as Well as Men Are RlaaV Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys uhii the mind, discourages and lesscnsanibition ; beauty, vigor ana cheerful , ncss soon disappear when the kidneys arc ' out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble lias become so prevalent that it is not uncom mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates toooften, if the urine scalds Hie flesh, or if, when the child reaches an ge when it should he able to control th; passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble,, and the fust Step should be towards the treatment of these important organs, j ins uiipiensaiu trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the 'same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effeA of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
