The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood OF this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the sliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.

Council of Ministers to Lay Matter Before Grand Duke Nicholas at
 Headquarters

Petrograd Thursday, August 12
 Cvia London. August 13, TAO D. m)
 Details given the press of a secret
 session of the Duma on August 10
 show that an inquiry was initiated to
 determine the responsibility for the
 deficiency in war supplies.
 The session engaged in a discussion
 of a committee report relating to the
 matter of recruiting for the coming
 year. During this discussion the ques-
 ton of defense came up and a num-
 Der of members called attention to all
 legged irregularities and in the failure
 to supply munitions for the army and
 navy.
 The demand was made for an i'm .
 mediate cessation of irregularities and d correction of the shortage. Speakers emphasized the necessity for calling | to account all persons responsible, re- sardless of how high their positions General Polivanoff, the minister of war, declared that commission would be named to make an impartial inquiry into all that had taken place to bring the army into it's difficult situation. The commission would have the aid Of both the members of the Duma and
 tine council of the empire. he said The Duma app1auded the resolution. tt was informed that the council of
 ministers will visit the Grand Duke Nicholas at headquarters and lay be- fore him the results of the Dumas se- cret session.
 Almost exclusive attention of mili- tary observers has recently been di- rected to the operations at Kovno, the first slrong Russian fortress attack ed Iy the method employed at Antwerp "a system devised by the Bavarian general Sauer. This consists of cy- clonic attack with heavy artillery on one point without an attempt at in- vestment.
 The check and partial repulse of the Germans in the Baltic region has stopped theoretical discussion of the possibilities of German offensive against Petrograd which Is generally regarded as premature

FRAUD PRACTICE IN ELECTION

Montgomery August 3-(Special.) .)-The subcommittee of the house committee on elections and privileges, Mir. Welch, MT.
 Brindley and Mir Bradley. appointed to
 inquire into the charges filed by J. A. Carnley that F. P. Rainer had been nomi- mated to the legislature from Coffee
 county through fraud, returned tonight
 from Eba and declared that unmistak- able evidence of fraud had been un-
 earthed >jdy,
 In three boxes MT. Carnley declared that fraud had been practiced. The com
 mittee examined these boxes and the charges of Carney were borne out to the letter. The difference In the actual vote and that returned. would have given Carnley a majority over Ralner. On the other hand, Rainer charged that | certain fraud had been practiced in the interest of Carnley in several other boxes. This charge was based on what was pur- ported to be fact that more votes were boiled in these boxes than there were registered vaoters in the respective pre-
 cincts. Into all the merits and demerits
 of these charges the committee did not
 go, and in consequence has not rendered Q verdict
 The facts ascertained by the three leg islators will be put before the house com
 mittee as a whole tomorrow. In the Rainer-Carnley contest there Is consd- erable interest on account of the fact that while both are prohibitionists, Carnley is
 a supporter of the governor, while Rainer
 supported the candidacy of ex-Governor Conner.

PACIFIC COMPANY
 DISPOSES OF FIVE
 STEAM VESSELS
Purchase Made by the Atlantic Trans. port Company of West
 Virginia

New York, August 13.-The Pa cific Mail Steamship company, in pur-
 suance O fits plan announced some
 time ago of disposing of it's fleet and other property, has sold five of its | steamers to- the Atlantic Transpori company of West Virginia. The steam. CTS are the Manchuria. Mongolia, Ko- req Siberia and China No terms were mentioned in the announcement. The last sailing from San Francisco by any Of the vessels will be by the Mongolia August 25
 Some months ago the Pacific Mail Ste amship company indicated that it would withdraw its steamers from the transpacific service and probably dis pose of them because of the new sea- mems law, whose terms the company claims made it impossible for the Pa oific Mail to compete with the Japan
 csc lines.
 Many of the members of the crews,
 chiefly in the fire rooms, consist of cheap
 coolie labor, and under the new law the
 Pacific Mail would have to replace them
 with men speaking the same language as
 the officers of the ship. This, 1t was stated. was one of the onerous clauses of the law.
 The vessels sold are virtually the larg- est and best in the Pacific Mail service.
 The Mongolia and the Manchuria are
 twin vessels of 27.0oo tons each; the Korea and the Siberia each have tonnage of
 S.0eo tons, and the China is of 10. 200 tons
 burden.
 The Atlantic Transport company oper- ates between New York, Philadelphia. Baltimore and European ports and be-
 tween New York and San Francisco.
