For weak kidneys well, read what this Platts mouth man says: Ben Brooks, Main street, says: "A bad cold left me with a severe attack of kidney complaint. I had pain in my back and hips and at times it extended into my shoulder blades. I was laid up for two weeks. My head ached for hours and I was subject to dizzy spells, during which' my sight blurred. Half a box of Doan's Kid ney Pills checked these troubles, and after using two boxes, procured from Edward Rynott & Co..s drug store, I regained my health." (Statement giv en April 10, 1912.) On February 22, 191G, Mr. Brooks said: "couldn't speak too highly of Boan's, for it was this old, reliable medicine that fixed me up in fine j shane when I was down' with lum-'j bago.

(via London, Aug. 3) The all-night political conference at the Winter pal ace, which was concluded this morn ing by the passage of a resolution in which confidence in Premier Keren- sky was expressed by each of the five parties represented, and in which he was invited to form his own cabi net, was conducted in the strictest or der, but with intense emotion. All the participants were obvious ly convinced that the decision which was to be reached meant Russia's re generation or her ruin. In 'conversation with the Associated Press correspondent, who was permit ted to be present, the ministers de clared the conference to be the most momentous moment in the history of the empire since 1G13, when, during the troublesome times of the Polish war "and internal 'anarchy, the elec tion of the first Romanoff by a simi lar conference of notables at Moscow saved the country from dissolution. The debate resolved itself into a series of panegerics of the absent Ke rensky, who was acclaimed the only man invested with the qualities neces sary to restore order while preserv ing liberty. Foreign Minister Ter estchenke declared that peace was in conceivable that Russia must prepare to fight throughout the winter and that Premier Kerensky alone posses sed the confidence of the nation. M. Tseretelli, the minister of posts and telegraphs, in an emotional speech, echoed the view that Keren sky was the only man who could save. the country. In order to alleviate his task, declared the speaker, the gov ernment would abstain from forcing through the party program. After these men had spoken, the procurator of the Holy Synod, M. Lvoff, arose and said that he, too, con sidered the premier the man des- tined to be Russia's savior. Minister of Justice Efremoff said almost the same words in turn, describing the premier as an indispensable man. Paul N. Milukoff, leader of the con stitutional democrats, stated that his party was still ready to attempt the formation of a coalition government with M. Kerensky as the chief who had all the qualifications for sue- cess. After an interview the debate was resumed and Vice Premier NekrasofT announced the demands that had been made by General Korniloff for assur ances from Petrograd that he-would have drastic powers, without which he would not take over the chief com mand of the Russian armies. ! A counter revolution exists, added M. Nekrasoff, and is growing day by day. Therefore the restoration of a strong government, he declared, must be immediate. The only matter on which there is not unanimity in the counsels of the leaders is the statutes of the councils of deputies. A representative of the council of soldiers',and workmen gave i warning that in his opinion the pro- 1 posed exclusion of the councils fr-m influence over the government.would prove the consummation of the ex isting anarchy.
