Wilson over whether Moore could b

was settled by the supreme court I
an opinion by Justice Kane, whic
dismissed Moore'B appeal. Superit
tendent Wilson made an order releaf
lng Moore as head of the schoo
which was later confirmed by tin
ooard of education, and J. B. Est
redge of Fort Worth was appointed i)
Moores stead. Moore was granted i
temporary restraining order agains

the case was heard on its merits b;
John J. Carney of EI Reno, sitting ai
special judge, permanent relief wai
denied. More appealed. While thi
case was pending Moore's term o
office upon which he had been givei

that the apeal had not been prose

on the belief of a live Stock inspector
that a pasture was Infected, and al-
lowed him to dip the caftle on the re-
fusal of the owner and hold them
pending the payment of charges.

"About three years ago as the result
of doing two men's work, attending a
large practice and looking after the
details of another business, my health
broke down completely, and I waa
little better than a physical wreck.
"I suffered from Indigestion and con-
stipation, loss of weight and appetite,
bloating and pain after meals, loss of
memory and lack of nerve force for
continued mental application.
"I became irritable, easily angered
and despondent without cause. The
heart's action became Irregular and
weak, with frequent attacks of palpi-
tation during the first hour or two
after retiring.
"Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas
came for my lunch one day and
pleased me particularly with the re-
sult. I got more satisfaction from It
than from anything I had eaten for
months, and on further Investigation
and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my
morning and evening meals, served
usually with cream and a sprinkle of
salt or sugar.
"My Improvement was rapid and
permanent, in weight as weil as In
physical and mental endurance. In a
word, I am filled with the Joy of liv-
ing agnln. and continue the dally use
of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often
tor the evening meal.

Greenman. Other preliminary de-
tails for the big show were worked
out. It has been decided to make the

sociation, has been requested to write
all of the manufacturing concerns in

Efforts of the attorney general's de-
partment can not be enlisted In the
board of agriculture's fight against the
Campbell Russell initiated bill which
the supreme court ordered to a vote
on Nov. 5. The Attorney General ad-
dressed two letters to the board's
secretary, saying that the board was
exceeding its prerogatives when It
attempted to defeat the initiative by
litigation.
The Supreme Tourt granted a sup-
ersedeas in the Guthrie case Involv-
ing the validity of the 18 percent pen-

Three hundred National banks In
Oklahoma had Individual deposits
amounting to $52,950.586.36 at the
close of business. September 4, or
more than $16,000,000 more than 621
State banks, with $36,530,890.62. At
the same time, total resources of the
National banks in the state are given
at $91,904,972.80, while the 621 State
banks have $53,451,712.04. The 300
National banks bive capital stock to
the amount of $13,542,500, while the
Btate banks have $9,497,250.
The appointment of a receiver for
properties used In violation of the
prohibitory laws will be asked by
the Attorney General in connection
with a large number of suits being
brough't In this county to restrain
owners of buildings from renting
them to "jolntists." Assistant Attor-
ney General Glsh, who is in charge
of the cases, says he deems this
method more practical, as It would
enable the owners of buildings to rent
them for legitimate purposes,
whereas to Invoke the provisions of
the law authorizing the placing of a
peace officer in charge of the proper-
ty and padlocking the doors would
deprive owners of legitimate use of
their property pending the litigation. |
The state's method only will be in-
voked in case owners show a dispo-
slelon to violate court Injunctions, It
is jtated. It Is the intention of the
state legal department to proceed
against owners of property until
every "joint" Is driven froni Its pres-
ent location and until property own-
ers see that the leasing of premises i
to liquor dealers Is unprofitable and
dangerous.
