PNEUMONIA PREVALENT
From Oklahoma City comes npws of
much sickness with grip and pneu-
monia, with numerous deaths. Indeed,
all over Oklahoma pneumonia seems
to be gathering in its victims on every
hand and from every walk of life. So,
Norman and Clevelad county are not:
the only ones afflicted.
MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES
County Judge Wolf's record shows
158 marriage licenses issued in this
(Cleveland) county for the year 1915.
Seventeen divorces were granted in
the district court during the same
year. So Judge Wolf thinks there is
no cause for uneasiness, as there has
been nine times as many marriages as
divorces.
GAVE McDANIEL $25
Messrs. McDaniel & Thompson and
J. Lloyd Bowling couldn't agree on
amount due from the latter for rent,
and left it to a jury in Judge Daniels
court today. Mac. and Milt thought
they should have $75; J. Lloyd brought
in a counter claim of $100 for goods
damaged in the building. The jury
brought in a verdict for $25 for Mc-
Daniel & Thompson, Tom Mayfield
and Geo. Allen represented the plain-
tiff, and John Luttrell and Troy Grif-
fin the defendant.

Facts About
Pneumonia
Dr H. Lindlahr, a nature cure doctor of Chicago
states his experience: "During the last ten years I
have treated and cured all kinds of acute diseases with-
out resort to drugs. In a very extensive practice I
have not in all these years lost a single case of appendi-
citis (and not one was operated upon) of typhoid fever,
diphtheria, small pox, scarlet fever., and only one case
of cerebro-spinal meningitis and of lobar pneumonia."
Strong claims, but facts in my own experience and that
of others bear it out.
The death rate in pneumonia is less than one per
cent under the methods I use. You know what it is un-
der the usual methods. You know also of the long suf-
fering and sickness under these methods. Under my
methods, fruit diet, scientific use of hot and cold water
inside and outside the body, enema or internal bath to
relieve constipation; fresh air, spinal stimulation and
cleanliness, improvement takes place from the start.
Nothing is done to hinder recovery and everything to
help These are simple things but when done right
they get results and get them quickly.
Nature has a definite purpose in pneumonia which
must not be hindered. She is trying to expel from the
body material which if it remained would kill «'t. To
interfere with this process simply prolongs the disease
and may cause death. To use drugs is simply putting
in more poison for an already overworked system to
handle. If you are strong you may be able to throw
both poisons off but the chances are against you. This
same treatment properly modified quickly and surely
relieves colds, la grippe, rheumatism, etc.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING
Copenhagen, Jan. 4.—Henry Ford
will not pay for gowns for certain of
the women peace delegates who desire
to make a brilliant showing at next
week's conference at The Hague.
Gaston Plantiff, New York automo-
bile manager for Ford, and now in
charge of the enterprise to "bring the
boys out of the trenches," so informed
several women who put the question
to him today. They must wear the
gowns they brought along on the Os-
car II or stay in their hotels.
Plantiff put his foot down on an-
other suggestion today. Several dele-
gates wanted to stay in Europe for a
while longer and wanted to know if
I Ford would pay their way home any
time they wanted to go. Plantiff de-
j clared that the delegates who failed
i to sail with the main party on the
liner Rotterdam, January 12, will pay
their own fare home.
It was learned today that Madame
Schwimmer, Hungarian peace advo-
cate, was largely instrumental in ob-
taining permission for the party to
cross Germany on the way to The
Hague. The newspaper? agree that
(his act has wrecked the last possibil-
ity that the allies might look with fa-
vor on the peace expediion.
Stockholm is generally favored as
the place for the permanent peace tri
liunal Ford plans to establish. It is
understood Miss Jane Addams will be j
one of the members.

Mr. Guy Cassity of Arkansas City,
Kan., left for his home last week af-
ter a delightful two week's visit with
J. A. Ramsey and family.
The Woman's Missionary Society of
the M. E. Church, South, met Tues-
day afternoon with Mrs. John Hardit.
A large number of ladies were pres-
ent regardless of the bad weather.
Dr. Butler conducted the service for
installation of the newly elected of-
ficers, in a most impressive manner.
Reports from retiring officers showed
a splendid increase in all departments
of work for the year just closed. Mrs.
H. G. Lindsay and Mrs. E. R. Chastain
were elected as delegates to the An-
nual Woman's Missionary Conference
to be held in Norman, Jan. 18, 19, 20.
Mrs. Geo. Miller and Mrs. Hardie, al-
ternates. There will be something like
one hundred and fifty delegates and
visitors with us then. The commit-
tees on homes will ask the member-
ship and friends of the church, this
week, to help entertain these visitors
while in our city. It is to be hoped
that not one who are asked will say
no. Let's open our hearts and homes
to these good women and give them a
royal welcome. The noon lunches will
be served each day in the City Hall.
The full program will appear in the
papers later. If you wat to know

I affirmative while the Juniors and
i Sophomore teams took the negative.

| Tunior and Senior teams debated 'and
l the Junior team won. Two days later
the Freshman and Sophomore teams
debated, the Freshman team winning.
The great crisis was approaching and
tinaliy came to a climax when Monday
night before a large audience the
Junior team defeated the Freshman
team by the decision of two judges
and only 11 points. This debate was
so close that the audience was unde-
cided as to who had won. By winning
this time, the Junior team, represent-

cup for the second time and were
"runners up" last year. The cup will

ties of good debaters.
