Helsingfors, Finland, July 2s.-The
Diet has adopted resolution
for presentation to the Russian gov
ernment in which it is pointed out
that while the Russian revolution
put an end to the enslavement Of the
Finnish people by the government
the Diet is Of this opinion:
1.-The introduction in Russia Of a.
new political regime does not give
the provisional government right to
administer Finland for that would
be equivalent as before to the restric-
ton of Finland's constitution and
would seriously compromise her
political situation.
"In order to maintain the internal
independence of the country which.
its constitution guarantees to it,"
continues the resolution, 1T has been
necessary to transfer internal govern
ing power, which must be fundamen-
tally national to the Finnish nation"
The address gives assurance that
the rights Of Russian citizens in Fin
land, as we'll as those of the Jews,
will not undergo any modification,
and declares that to live in harmony
with the Russian people has always
been and will be an essential condi-
ton of the prosperity of Finland.

WARNING.
Mena People Should Not Neglect
 Their Kidneys.


 Backache is often natures most frequent signal of weakened kidneys. To cure the pains and aches, to re- move the lameness when it arises from weakened kidneys, you must reach the cause.-the kidneys.

 Doan's Kidney Pills have been proved good and are especially for weak kidneys. Doan's have been used in kidney trouble for over 50 years. Read Mena testimony:
 Mrs. s. A. Cummins, 40i Eleventh st., Mena, says: Several years ago my kidneys were causing considera- ble annoyance. had an almost con- stant pain in the small of my back. I was very nervous and worn out and frequently had dizzy spells. Soon after 1 began taking Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from the Jackson Drug Co.,, noticed change for the better. used about three boxes and it wasn't long before my back was strong and the other ailments had left me"

EVER SALINATED BY
 CALONEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel Is Quicksilver and Acts Like Dynamite on Your
 Liver.

Calomel loses you a dayl You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t crashes into sour bile like dyra- mite, cramping and sicRening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your sys- tenn.
 When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipatej and all knocked out aud believe you need a dose of danger ous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for fifty cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel. It is guar anteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and cannot salivate.
 Don't take calomel. It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and don't gripe.-Adv.

Half Your, living
 Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will make or break most farmers in the South. We are all facing crisis. This war in Europe puts things in such uncertainty that no man can foresee the future with any degree of clearness.
 The sure and certain increase in cotton acreage means lower cotton prices next fall Cost of all food and grain products is high, so high that no one can afford to buy and expect to pay out with cotton.
 It's a time above all others to play safe; to produce all possible food, grain and forage supplies on your own acres; to cut down the store bill.
 A good piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended and kept planted the year round. can be made to pay half your living. It will save you more money than you made on the best five acres of cotton you ever grew!
