Atbany, Jan. 14. —The saloon busi

accompanied by a decrease of $182,-
468 in excise revenue since 1910. The

$18,109,260, of which $17",486,615
•was received from 'liquor tax certifi
cates.
During the past year forty-seven
premises were deprived of the right to
traffic in liquors for a period of one
year because of gambling and disorder
ly conditions.
This Is a Bad Month

of outdoor exercise, puts a heavy load
on the kidneys. Nearly everybody suf
fers from rheumatism, backache, pain
in sides and ibaek, kidney and bladder
ailments. A backache may not mean
anything serious, but it certainly does
not mean anything good. It's better to
Ibe on the safe side and take Foley Kid

the kidneys and help them do their
work. They help rid the blood of acids
and poisons. Sold by Geo. A. Gorgas,
