Russia Democrats
Voice Protest on
Peace Enjoys Plan

Paris, Jan. 25.-The council Of
the national and democratic bloc
OF Russian political organizations
abroad has sent a strongly worded
protest to Premier Clemenceau
against the decision of the supreme
council to call a conference of the
Russian factions.
We would be men without honor
and courage if we accepted for a
single moment a truce such as pro-
posed to us while all that are dea-
are in danger of death-violent
death by execution or assassina-
tion or slow death through hunger. -
the protest says in part.
The interest of humanity in gen
eral and democracy in particular" :"
the protest adds, requires the es-
tablishment in Russia of a regime
based on the sovereignty of the
people, and freely expressed. An
improvised meeting at the Princes
Islands can not be an expression
of this sort. Russia has long clam
ored for the free election of a con-
stituent assembly. The attempt
was stifled by the Bolsheviki by
force of arms, and they are today
asked to make the voice of Russia
heard"

Paris, Jan. Havas) The
French government is about to take
d hand in the general transporta.
ton strike which was declared in
Paris yesterday affecting the sub
way lines, the surface cars and au-
;omobile busses. Ii has decided to
requisitiOn the enLire transporta-
ton system-the north and south
metropolitan system, the subway,
lie street car service and the omni-
bus lines of Paris and the Seine.
This action, il is said, is to be
taken because the government con-
sIders it inadvisable that even a
partial stoppage of the means ol
transportation in Paris, should
occur.
The strike situation was without
any marked change last night, none
of the employees having returned to
work
The strike was still in effect
carly this morning. On the metro
politan system there were only a
few trains running On the two main
Lines. these trains making stops
only at the important stations.

Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed great falling off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
it perfectly safe and give better re-
Suits" said prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs but
n few cents, and if it fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver slug
gishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back
Dodson's Liver Tone is q pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. 1t doesn't gripe or cause in
convenience all the next day like vio-
lent calomel. Take dose of calo-
mel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't

Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full
of vigor and ambition. Adv. 8.
