Listen to me! Take no more sick ening, salivating calomel when bill ious or constpated. Don't lose days work!
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into it, break ing it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are sluggish and "all knocked out" if syonr liver is torpid and your bowels constipated or you have :. headache, dizziness. coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach Sour just take a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone. Here's my guarantee-Go to any drug store and get 50 cent bottle of Dodsons Liver Tone. Take a spoon full tonight. and if it doesn't straighten

RIFE FIELDS TO NEED

 Meeting of Growers To Be Held at Dewitt Saturday, to Arrange to

 There will be 2 meeting of the rice growers of Arkansas county at Dewitt Saturday to discuss measures for ob- taining additional help The growers prefer Arkansas labor and men eX- perienccd hauling rice or wheat. The horticultural department and the labor bureau will assist in procuring the necessary number of harvest hands |that there may be no delay or loss in gathering this important food crop.

stances, entirely dependent on her ov- erseas grain supplies, seeing that her own crop is only sufficient to meet the needs of man and beast for three months.
 On the other hand, apart from he1 own small coal output she is prac- i tically entirely dependent on Germany for the fuel whereon depends the main tenance of lighting, heating, railways, shipping, fisheries and all her indus tries. For her own mines yield only about a quarter of her coal consump- tion, and import from Great Britain virtually has ceased, partly as a re- suit of the onerous conditions made by the British authorities and partly on account of the ruthless submarine war. Holland likewise draws such indispensable products as cement, iron, potash, lime, dyes and rugs from Ger many.
 Hollanders say that it would be stalking the security and independence of their country, for the present and the future. to depart from the policy of absolute impartiality and to differ entiate in favor of the allies.
 Figures based on the latest for eign trade returns show that, in the first quarter of the current year, ex- ports to the United Kingdom amount ed in value to $21 100000 and to Ger many 19,600000. Imports from Brit ain totalled $14 ,76O.OOO and from Ger many to S10,000,000.

you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous by morning, want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dodsons Liver Tone is de- stroying the sale of calomel because it is real liver medicine; entirely veg 'etable, therefore it cannot salivate or make you sick.
 I guarantee that one spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to- work and clean your bowels of that sour bile and consti- pated waste which is clogging your system and making you feel misera- ble. I guarantee that bottle of Dod- sons Liver Tone will keep your entire family feeling fine for months. Give It to your children. It is harmless i; doesn't gripe and they like its pleas ant taste.

DUTCH POSITION
 MOST PECULIAR;
 MUST SELL COWS
Great Herd Cannot Be Fed, Because of Poor Crops of
 Grass and Hay.
Correspondence Associated Press)

Correspondence Associated Press)
 The Hague, Netherlands, July IT, Holland is in the unique position, in war r-strlcken Europe. of having 500,- 900 cattle more than she wants. The farmers want to get that number off their hands at all costs. What to do with these herds is the knotty problem facing the Netherlands government and in it is bound up the knottier and weightier problem of the country's grain supply from America, her eco homie welfare and perhaps indirectly her neutrality and independence.
 With a bad grass and hay crop, with a great shortage of fodder inn ports, and at the moment, suspen- sion of grain shipments from the United States, the farmers are at their wits end to find feed for their overgrown herds. But the home mar ket is naturally overstocked, prices have fallen even below pre-war rates, and they are therefore begging and praying the government to open the frontiers for exports as the only way out of the difficulty
 In any case the blackaded Central
 
 any such export The standing agree ment provides that Britain, France and the Belgian Relief commission shall have 50 per cent of all cattle going across the frontiers. But America, on whom the Netherlands is so abso- lutely dependent for her grain sup ply, it is understood here, wants to stop all export of cattle and other por- duce to Germany, and presumably Holland also hesitates somewhat on this account.
 The strange feature of this side of the question, as the correspondent of The Associated Press learns on good authority, is that blockaded Germany at present by no means evincas any anxiety to buy Dutch cattle. German farmers would doubtless jump at the chance; the German people would thankfully enlarge their bill of fare. But the authorities now look twice at every mark going across the frontiers in payment for imports.
 Germany no doubt is ready to buy at her own price; she certainly would not refuse the cattle if offered her.; but no application for cattle export has been made from the German side. The Associated Press correspondent is reliably informed.
 Another possible way of disposing of a considerable portion of the sur- plus cattle, is by substituting beef for pork in the governments cheap food supply scheme. This might take an extra 5O,00O or 60,000 head of cattle month and account for 1000 of the surplus cattle stocks and the plan is under consideration in high quarters.
 The news from America on the ex- port question is causing considerable anxiety here. If the United States presses the demand for complete stoppage of exports of Dutch agricul- tural produce to Germany. as the price of continuing to supply her grain, Holland will be in a quandary indeed. It is true she is, under present circun1-

 ON BIG TABERNACLE

In order to hasten completion of the tabernacle, being erected on the vacant block at Tenth and Man, for the Stephens revival, work will be continued at night, beginning tonight. Many man have expressed wiii'nsEess to assist in the construction, tu: on account of being employed in the day have been unable to neIp. The warm weather is believed to have kept others away. At least fifty men are wanted tonight, and it is believed by the building committee that twice that number will volunteer.
 The huge structure is rapidly taking shape The two wings have been practically completed and covered, ready for the roofing. With the work continuing day and night, it is hoped to finish the tabernacle in few days. :.

Growers being eager to help in food production, ill some instances sowed more rice than their plants could irrigate and weeds got the best of the grain where the crop was not thoroughly watered. The crop is now practically made, and there is promise of yield in Ark ansas of 7,oO0,000 bushels.
