posite camps, officers and soldiers,
which have become almost ir~reooncil-
able.
Speaking OF the committees elected
by the soldiers Of the various units,
General Alexieif said they were useful
to the army from an economic stand
point, but were fatal to discipline Of
the troops. None the less subvcrsivc
was the influence Of government com
miSSarles whose appointment, he assert
ed, created an extremely dangerous
quality Of power.
The general maintained that after
publication by the government of the
declaration OF the rights OF soldiers all
respect toward leaders disappeared, the
officers becoming vcritahlc martyrs and
having to pay very dearly for the re
treat subsequent to August |. The
general cited some remarkable illus
t~rationS OF this. On one occasion, he
said, an attack was being launched
The force which advanced was made w
of twenty eight officers, twenty ION
commissioned officers and two soldiers
All the others looked on coldly while
these forces persisted.
The general declared it would be i'm
possible tolcarry the war to a victorl-
Gus conclusion unless the strongest
possible efforts were made by the pro
v%iSonal government and by the truop'
themselves to re-animate and regcnc
rate the army.

Situation
in Argentina Is
Relieved by Note

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 9-Thc IA
vorable report made by the German
government to Argentine concerning
submarine activities, relieved a tense
and critical situation. The German re-

matte triumph, aCQuiesces in the de.
mand OF Argentina for the safety OF
Argentine ships and indcmniiication for
the torpedOlng OF the steamer Toro,
in order to maintain friendly rela-

Argentine flag carrying food"
The Argentine foreign office has
made public the entire correspondents
with Germany concerning the sinking
Of the Toro. 1t shows that Germany's
note probably averted the possibility

MOSCOW, Aug. 29-At the third

OF railway representatives including
M. Froloff of the engineers alliance,
reported that there existed a state OF
utter Reorganization OF transportation
which, unless improved, would cease
completely by November. The repre-

home and on the front and that the
army might turn on the country and
commit unexampled excuses, 81
Demands OF Workers Are Factor.
The extreme demands Of the rail

an important part in this dlsorganl1a.

the transport services to sacrifice per

NJ. Grusenberg, speaking for the
jews, representatives OF Ukraine, of
white Russia, Courland and delegates
representing the Mussulman alliance,
declared their willingness to make sac
Iifices for the good OF the country and
for defense against the enemy.
Old Army Versus New.

URIC ACID
An ENEMY in Ambush

II was not until the discovery by Sir
Arthur Garrod, in 1915 that the blood of
equity patients contained uric acid in an
excessively large amount, that much at
tention was paid to this subject. Later
scientific men learned that in gout (also
true in rheumatism) the kidneys do not
work properly to throw off the uric acid
poison; consequently uric acid crystals
are deposited in and about the joints,
where an Inflammation is set up in the
nearby tissues. When for any reason the
circulation Is sluggish, as in the joints
of the toes. crystals formed from uric
acid are deposited there. and one suffers
from gout; or, when deposited in the
tissues. one suffers from muscular rheu-
matism or articular rheumatism. My
only medicine to counteract the uric
acid and to throw it out of the system is
tablets of Anuric double strength, three
times a day.
The pain in the back, lumbago, pain In
the neck, creaky joints. stiffness in mus
cles. have all been proven to be caused
by uric acid poison in the blood and It's
sues. The kidneys soon become diseased
then there often follows disease in the
muscles of the heart.
Kidney disease carries away a large
percentage of our people. What Is to be
done? What can the ordinary person do
to properly balance bodily health? The
answer is easy. Eat less meat, eat
coarse, plain food, with plenty of vege
tables, drink plenty of water between
meals and take an uric acid solvent before
meals for awhile, such as Anuric double
strength, obtained at almost any drug
store. 1t was first discovered by Or.
Pierce of the Surgical Institute in Buff
falo, n Y Most every one troubled with
uric acid finds that Anuric dissolves the
uric acid as hot water VIII dissolve su-
gar.-Adv.
