TAKES PLACE WITH NATIONS
Finland, Officially Recognized by
Peace Conference, Announces De-
signs Of It's Various Flags.

The peace conference at Paris
definitely recognized the independ-
ence of Finland, and formal recogni-
ton has been given by the govern
ments of the United States and
Great Britain, so. that Finland is
nov numbered among the sovereign
nations of the world and will hence
forth guide her own affairs.
When Finland declared her indie
~pendence of Russia, a question con-
corning the flag arose, as no flag was
in existence except the unofficial flag
Of blue and white. The diet enacted
a law concerning the flag on May 30,
1918, in which the blue and white Of
the unofficial flag were retained. The
act provides as follows:
The national flag of Finland shall
be a rectangular piece Of cloth, on
the white field Of which shall be
placed a cross of ultramarine blue.
The cross divides the flag into four
rightangled sections. In the center
Of the cross is placed the Finnish
coat of arms Crowned lion upon a
sword). The merchant flag is the
same as the national flag, but with
out the coat Of arms.
The flags Of the pilot, customs
and postal services shall be the ma
tional flag with a Distinguishing
mark.

Canada as a Nation Builder.

carried, and her recent victory in sub

Sociate the word pessimism with her
present condition. Canada deploreS
the heavy human loss which she has
suffered, but even those akin to those
lost in battle say with cheerfulness
that while the sacrifice was great, the
cause was wonderful, and accept
their sufferings with grace. It may
well be said there is no room in Cam
ada today for the pessimist. The ag-
ricultural production Of the country
has doubled in four years. $4,000
600 are the railway earnings today
or 31S times what they were ten years
ago, while the bank deposits are now
81, 733. 100000 as compared with $780,
100000 thirty years ago.
There is wonderful promise for
the future.
It is with buoyancy that Canada
faces an era Of peace. She has tri-
unphed over the soul-testing crisis of
war. Before the war Canada was
borrower, and expected to continue SO
for many years. For the past year and
a half we have seen her finance her
self. She has also been furnishing
credits to other nations.

Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
IF the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and maybe respondent; it makes
anyone SO.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should
be a blessing to thousands of nervous,
