Of the charges brought against Sena-

revive an alleged scandal which last
spring caused a sensation in official
and congressional circles.
At that time the matter never reach.
ed a stage permitting general public
discussion such as is now resulting
from the bringing of suit for defama-
ton of character.
Senator Gore adhered to what has
been his attitude ever since the
charges of Mrs. Minnie E. Bond of
Oklahoma became known in Wash
ington and refused to discuss the mat
ter for publication in any way or
form. None of the senator's asso-
ciates or intimates would talk of Mrs.
Bonds suit for publication.
It is understood, however, that the
defense of Senator Gore and his
friends is that for political and other
purposes he is being made the victim
OF a conspiracy seeking to discredir
him.
It is alleged in the senator's behalf
that the charges attacking the sena-
tors moral character are brought in
tho interest of a movement seeking to
defeat him for reelection to the SEN

If KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is a sign you have
been eating too much meat
which forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uri acid
which overworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paralyzed and
loggy. When your kidneys get slug
gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels; remoy-
ing all the body's urinous waste, else
you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue Is coated, and when the wea-
ther is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore
water scalds and you are obliged to
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces Of lad
Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acic Of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with ithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids In the urine 80 1t

That thousands are dead is the gen.

Sakurashima volcano continued In
violent eruption, according to wireless
dispatches from the naval detachment
sent to the scene of the catastrophe.
Kagoshima city is entirely deserted
and practically destroyed.
The commander in charge of the
naval squadrons said ashes lay over
the city from six inches to foot in
thickness. Dwellings, public build.
ings, shops and manufacturing plants
ware burned. Volcanic rocks hurled
into the air by the blazing mountain
fell on Kagoshima and completed the
destruction which the fire began.
The little island in the bay that
once was Sakurashima is nothing
but a mass of angry flame, out Of
which pours lava, white rocks and
ashes. The ashes are falling over the
entire countryside as far east as
Osaka.
Huge assures have appeared in the
earth. A slight tidal wave caused by
the shocks accompanying the erup.
ton swept the coast of Kyushu.
The naval commander made no es.
innate of the loss of life, saying it
would b impossible until an explora.
