determine the expenses of the
farmer is a mistaken one. As
a matter of fact, the govern
ment has actively and sucees
fully regulated the prices of
many fundamental materials
underlying all the industries of
the country and has regulated
them not only for the purchases
of the government but also for
the purchases of the general
public, and I have every rea
son to believe that (Congress

We do this work on a guarantee and will be glad to

STOMACH TROUBLE
Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., says; “For quite
a long while 1 suffered with stomach trouble. 1 would
have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most
disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with
butter, oil or grease, I would spit it up. I began to have
regular sick headache. 1 had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just
seemed to tear my stomach all up. I found they were
no good at all for my trouble. I heard
THEDFORD’S
MIIGHT
recommended very highly, so began to use It It cured
me. I keep it in the house all the time. It is the best
liver medicine made. I do not have sick headache or
stomach trouble any more.” Black-Draught acts on
the jaded liver and nelps it to do fts Important work of
throwing out waste materials and poisons from the sys
tem. Tnis medicine should be in every household for
use in time of need. Get a package today. If you feel
sluggish, take a dose tonight. You will feel fresh to

ONE CENT A DOSE
(I 78)
government in this important
and even essential matter, so
that the tendency to profiteer
ing which is showing itself in
too many quarters may be ef
fectively checked. In fixing
the prices of foodstuffs the
government has sincerely tried
to keep the interests of the
farm as much in mind as the
interests of the communities
which are to be served, but it
is serving mankind as well as
the farmer and everything in
these times of war takes on the
rigid aspect of duty.
“I will not appeal to you to
continue and renew and in
crease your efforts. I do not
believe that it is necessary to
do so, I believe that you will
do it without any word or ap
peal from me because you un
derstand as well as I do the
needs and opportunities of this
great hour when the fortunes
of mankind eveyrwhere seem
about to be determined and
when America has the greatest
opportunity she has ever had to
make good her own freedom,
and in making it good to lend
a helping hand to men, strug
gling for their freedom every
where. You remember that it
was the farmers from whom
carne the first shots at Lexing
ton, that set aflame the revolu
tion that made America free.
I hope and believe that the
farmers of America will will
ingly and conspicuously stand
by to win this war also.The toil
the intelligence, the energy,the
foresight, the self-sacrifice and
devotion of the farmers of
America, will, I believe bring
to a triumphant conclusion this
great last war for the emanci
pation of men from the con
trol of arbitrary government
and selfishness of class legisla
iton and control, and then
when the end has come wemay
look each other in the face and
be glad that we are Americans,
and have had the privilege to
play such a part.”

WAR COSTING U.S.
$24,000,000 A DAY
Ten Months of War Have Cost
Uncle Sam Seven
Billion Dollars
Ten months of the war have
cost the United States about
$7,100,000,000—at the rate of
$710,000,000 a month nearly
$24,000,000 a day, according
to an official statement just
given out at Washington.
More than half of this huge
sum, or $4,121,000,000 has
been paid as loans to the al
lies and the balance, about $3,
000,000,000, represents Amer
ica’s outlay for its own war
purposes, exclusive of more
than $600,000,000 for ordinary
governmental expenses.
The war’s toll in money is
increasing at the rate of more
than $100,000,000 a month and
indications now are that the
two remaining months of the
nation’s first year of war will
run its war bill to nearly $10,
000,000,000, of which $5,00o,
000,000 will be for the allied
loans and about the same
amount for the army, navy,
shipping board and other* war
agencies.
Government borrowings on
the two Liberty Loans have
paid for four-fifths of the
war’s cost and taxation and a
few minor ordinary govern
ment receipts for about one
fifth.

Aids
To Nature
The competent physican, when treating
the sick, relies for a cure on two great
agencies—nature and medicine.
Nature, unaided, will sometimes work
a cure. But nature frequently is unequal
to the task and must have assistance.
Then arises the imperative need for

FOB NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.
Every druggist in town—your drug
gist and everybody's druggist has noticed
a great failing-off in the sale of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson's
I.iver Tone is taking its place.
“Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson’s Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results,” said a
prominent local druggist. Dodson’s
i.iver Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A large
bottle costs 50 cents, and if it fails to
i give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back.
I Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant-tast
ing, purely vegetable remedy, harmless
to both children nnd adults. Take a
. spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
, stomach or constipated bowels. It
doesn’t gripe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
5 a dose of calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
; Don’t lose a day’s work! Take Dodson’s
) Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full of
vigor and ambition.

CONSTRUES PRIMARY LAW
Arbuckle Says 1917 Tax Re
ceipt Necessary to Voting
In an opinion rendered by
Attorney General Arbuckle he
i holds that under the Brundidge
primary law, a voter to be eli
gible to vote at the state pri
1 mary on May 28, a 1917 tax
receipt is necessary. In other
words, the voters must pay
their poll tax on or before May
28th. In all legal elections in
Arkansas the voter mustexhibit
1 a poll tax receipt for the pay
ment of taxes the time next
preceeding such election. Here
tofore primaries have beenheld
in March, hence the tax re
ceipt of the year previous was
necessary, but under the new
law with the primaries the last
Tuesday in May, and tax pay
ing time expiring April 10th,
| the attorney general holds that
voters have the opportunity to
' secure tax reecipts, and hence
must pay taxes this year be
fore voting.
