 FOR THIS MOTHER

Mrs. A G. Tuson, of Lvermore. Cal, writes: T picked up from my door. step one day little book in which I soon became very much interested. My little girl of five years of age had been troubled for a long time with loss Of appetite, extreme nervousness and undue fatigue. She was all run. down and in very delicate condition.
 This little book was very compre- hensiyely written, and told of the new method of extracting the medicinal ele- ments of the eods liver from the oil. eliminating the obnoxious oil which is so hard for children to take.
 "Just the thing said I, for my little daughter and I immediately went for bottle of Vinol. It helped her won- derfully She has gained rapidly in flesh and strength, and she does not take cold half so easily.

ITS YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles A Forrest City Citizen
 shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect theiI kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only muscular weakness. When urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kid ney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's disease. The best remedy to use is Deans Kidney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Forrest City people testify to permanent cures.
 Geo. ". Bennett, living in Forrest City, Ark, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills have my highest endorsement as the best kidney remedy l know of. l had been troubled with pain in the small of my back, and through my kidney regions for some time. how ever, found a speedy and permanent cure through the use of Doan's Kid neo Pills after everything else had failed. l obtained this remedy from the City Drug Store and am pleased to recommend it to all persons suffer- ing from kidney complaint"

 We note that another levee bill is up in the Legislature, asking for the issuance of a million dollars in bonds, with which the s750, 900 of bonds al- ready issued will be funded. This means that the Levee Board is asking for another s250, 900 of bonds. It looks like they want about that much every two years. They also ask that the assessment be raised to not exceeding B cents per acre. That means sl3 on every hundred acres that you own in the levee district. This is too much tax to pay on wild land, and most of the bottom is wild land. We oppose the increase in the bond issue and we oppose the increase in the tax rate, but unless the people will sit down at once and write Senator DeRositt at Little Rock, asking him to defeat it, if possible, the bill will surely pass. It will come before the Committee on Levees, of which Senator DeRositt is chairman, next Monday. As many as can who oppose it should go to Little Rock, or send petitions, or write let ters, demanding that it be killed.
