THE NORMAN ENTERPRISE
PAID GUT $4,009
WITHOUT RESULTS
Tried Treatment for Three Years
but Couldn't Get Relief.
HER HEALTH RESTORED
STATEHOUSE BREVITIES
"Even My Own Folks Are Astonished
That I Am Able to Do My
Housework," Says Mrs.
Blalock.
One of the most sensational state-
ments yet published in connection
with Tanlac, was made by Mrs. V
Blalock, residing at 104 Crawford
street, Houston, Texas, a few days
ago, who said:
"I suffered so much from rheuma-
tism and stomach trouble for the past
three years that I became despondent
and sometimes felt that life was hard-
ly worth living. I had a distressed
feeling In my stomach no matter what
or how little I ate. My chest was full
of pain, my heart acted peculiar and
I could hardly get my breath at times.
I was tired all the time and felt so
weak and miserable that I could hard-
ly stand on my feet.
"Do you know I spent something
like four thousand dollars during
those three years for treatments and
medicines of various kinds but found
no relief. I started taking Tanlac
and began to Improve with the first
few doses and even my own folks are
now astonished that I am able In so
short a time to do my own housework.
Somehow It just seemed to suit my
case exactly and It nlakes me happy
to think how perfectly my health Is
being restored. I can eat anything I
want now and am not troubled any
more with shortness of breath or other
signs of Indigestion. I have already
gained five pounds in weight and am
Improving every day."

Mrs. Quinn's Experience
Ought to Help You Over
the Critical Period.
Lowell, Mass.—"For the last three
years I nave been troubled with the
Change of Life and
the bad feelings
common at that
time. I was in a
very nervous condi-
tion, with headaches
and pain a good
deal of the time so I
was unfit to do my
work. A friend
L asked me to try
I I.ydia E. Pinkham'a
I Vegetable Com-
ilpound, which I did,
and it has helped me in every way. I
am not nearly so nervous, no headache
or pain. I must say that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the
best remedy any sick woman can take."

Fire Insurance Rates Lowered.
An agreement upon the provisions
of a new tire insurance schedule whicii
will be filed September 1 was reached
after a three-day hearing beloro the
state insurance board.
Hates in Oklahoma City and every
other city in the state piotected by a
waterworks system will be lowered
materially through the agreement. A
detyease in rates also will be mudo in
brick and stone mercantile buildings
in unprotected towns. Considerable
increases will be made on frame mer-
cantile buildings and residences in un-
protected towns.
There will be practically no change
in the gross premiums paid on tire in-
surance in the state The board found
that the insurance companies were re-
ceiving premiums large enough to give
them a fair return and the findings
of the hearing were confined to a re-
adjustment of classifications.
All schedules now in effect were
withdrawn in their entirety so as to
prevent confusion in, adding to and
subtracting from the rales oi different
classifications The new schedules,
which will embrace the conclusions
reached last week, will be prepared at
once by the actuaries of thi^nsurauce
companies, assisted by the slate
board's actuaries, and will be pre-
sented for ratification September I.
The board found that property in
protected cities, particularly buildings
of brick, stone and fireproof construc-
tion, had been paying a rate out of
proportion with the risk, in that they
carried a burden that should have
been assessed against frame structures
in towns where there is 110 water-
works system. The exposure rates on
residences in protected cities also was
declared too high, and was cut in half,
and provision made for charging for
only one exposure instead of two, as
in the past. This will decrease ma-
terially the residence rates.
The action of the board places a pre-
mium on the construction of brick,
concrete and stone mercantile struc-
tures. and the members believe it will
encourage greatly tho building of
storerooms of permanent character in
small towns of the state
A change in the term rule was made
in the agreement. Formerly, 011 the
payment of a policy for a term of two
years on brick mercantile establish-
ments, a three-year policy was given
and on the payment for a term of three
years in advance, a five-year policy
was given.
Rates will be cut 20 per cent on
this business and a two and one-half
year policy given for a payment of
two years in advance, and a five-year
policy given for a four-year payment.
Those who figured with the mem-
bers of the insurance board, A. L.
Welch, W. It. Samuel and C. C. Ham-
monds, in the conference which c'osed
last week were C- W. Soderstrom, rate
actuary for the board; T. M. Goodloe,
rate actuary for the insurance depart-
ment of Kentucky, employed specially
by the board; J. B. Parker and R D.
Hobbs of Chicago, fire insurance ac-
tuaries for the companies: J. K, Lesch
of the Home Insurance Company and
A. G. Dugan of the Hartford Com-
pany.
Troop B Passes Federal Muster.
Troop B, First Oklahoma cavalry,
underwent a rigid federal inspection
last week, at the armory. Colonel
Tate of the Fifth I'nited States cav-
alry, who is inspecting Oklahoma
troops, conducted the inspection. The
troop went through two hours of dis-
mounted drill, Including the manual
of arms and foot movements. Follow-
ing this are arms and equipment of
the troop were inspected. The men
were also examined as to their knowl-
edge of the care and adjustment of
their rifles and revolvers.
Santonment at Ft. Sill Begun.
The work on the national guard can-
toment to be erected at Fort Sill, was
begun with the breaking of ground
where the buildings are to stand.
Daniel Breck. of the Selden Breck Con-
struction Company of St. Louis, is
here with a large force of men, super-
vising the work. A call has been sent
out for all available labor in Lawton
and vicinity for use In the construc-
tion of the camp. Improvements on
the railroad spur running from the
Rock Island station at Fort Sill were
also begun.
48 Million Barrels Oil First 6 Months.
During the first six months of 1917
Oklahoma oil wells produced 48.750,-
000 barrels of oil. In the same period
of time Kansas oi! wells produced only
13,525,000 barrels, or just slightly
| more than a quarter as much as was
produced in this state.
1 The gas output in Oklahoma for that
length of time was 1.1'OT.ono.nno rubv
feet. Approximately 95,000,000 cubic
; feet of gas was produced in Kansas
from January 1, 1917, to June 30, 1917,
and for the same time Arkansas' ga--
productlon was 32,d00,000 cubic feet.
State Money For Seed.
The state came to the assistance of
northwest count^s In the matter of
seed wheat last week by placing addi-
tional deposits of state money in
1 banks alseady designated as state de-
| positorles to the amount of $200,000.
Draft-Age Men Off Boards.
A rule that no man may sit on an
exemption board who is of draft age
I has been adopted by the government.
In making appontments to exemption
boards, Governor Williams picked men
who were more than 30 years old, hut
I on each county board he named the
I county registrar as one member, no:
looking Into his age and qualifications.
Many of the county registrars are
I voung men and it Is believed that '
I morn than twenty-five of them will be |
••nmoved automatically Sy the new or- I
der.

Federal Agents To Check Incomes.
Special Held agents will be in the
field alter August 1 to ciieck up tne
citizeus of this state liable to payment
of federal income tax, Hubert I. Bo-
len, collector of internal revenue, said.
Those who are delinquent receive
incomes of $3,000 to $4,000, it is
thought, and failure to pay has chiefly
been because the trouble has not been
taken to figure up what the incomes
are.
Mr. Bolen said that such delinquents
are liable to payment of a penalty of
$1,000 for their failure, but that, in all
cases where settlement is made
promptly and good cause is shown for
the negligence, he will recommend to
the commissioner of internal revenue
that the penalty be not assessed.
Payment of the federal tax on the-
aters, pool halls, and the tax which
doctors and dentists must pay is due
this week, after which a penalty of 50
per cent is attached. Pool halls are
taxed $5 for each table; doctors ar
taxed $1 each, and theaters are taxed
on a graduated scale, according to
seating capacity and population of the
town.
Gasoline Tickets Are Possiblity.
Gasoline tickets to curtail unneces-
sary use may be in use in Oklahoma
within a month unless thero is a great
voluntary decrease in the use of gaso-
line for driving pleasure cars, accord-
ing to J. M Aydolette, chairman of
the state council of defense
"The conservation or gasoline is'one
I of the most important questions with
j which the state council has to deal,"
said Mr. Aydolotte. Gasoline Is to be
an Important factor in the war. It is
needed to drive vehicles of war on
land, sea and in the air.
"Extravagance in tne use of gasoline
may mean a prolongation of the war.
Each gallon of 'gas' that is burned in
joy-riding and pleasure trips may
mean just so many more lives as a
war sacrifice."
The state council of defense is mak-
ing every effort possible to obtain vol-
untary economy in gasoline. The
members believe it will be necessary
to issue gasoline cards, and allow a
man to purchase so much gasoline
a week, a check being kept on the
amount used.
Roads Called nO To Pay State Tax.
Six railroad companies were noti-
fied that they should qualify to do
business under a law passed by the
sixth legislature The law authorizes
foreign corporations to do business in
the state on the payment of a fee of
one-tenth of 1 per cent of the amount
of the capital invested within the
state.
A law replaced by the new measure
required foreign corporations to pay
a tax of one-tenth of i per cent of
their entire capital stock in order to i
do business in the sta:e. This tax the
corporations refused to pay, and their
action was upheld by the supreme
court.
The roads notified wer the Atchi- '
son, Topeka & Santa Fe, the Fort
Smith & Western, the Chicagu, Hock
Island & Pacific, and the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Notice was also
sent to the American Express Com-
pany. The Frisco has paid its fee.
Charters Issued Keep increasing.
An Increase of 268 per cent in the
amount of revenue turned into the
state from his oliii ■ is shown by the
annual report of Secretary of State
Lyon. I11 the ('seal year, which ended
June 30, revenue totalling $289,360.6^
was collected by Lyon. The greater
part of this was from charters, the
amount from this source being $272,■
736 37. There were 985 more instru-
ments of record filed than the year
1916, and 1,827 more than in 1915.
The report shows the total expenses
of the department last year to be $14,.
430.01.
Money For the Soldiers.
The immense amount of money
spent by the government in maintain-
ing its army can be imagined from 1
the large sums that are received each i
month through a Lawton bank, to pay !
the officers and enlhted men at Fort
Sill. So far during July $142,682.07
has been paid out at. Fort Sill. July 24
was nay day at the fort for the First
Okla oma, the paymaster at Fort Sill,
accompanied by a guard of six men in
one of the large army trucks, received
$47,682.02 from a bank there for the
payment of the members of the guard.
T discovered a vegetable compound that does
the work of dangerous, sickening calomel and I
want every reader of this paper to try a bottle
and if it doesn't straighten you up better and
quicker than salivating calomel just go back to
the store and get your money.
I guarantee that one spoonful of Dodson's
Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work
and clean your thirty feet of bowels of the sour
bile and constipation poison which is clogging
your system and making you feel miserable.
I guarantee that one spoonful of this harmless
liquid liver medicine will relieve the headache, bil-
iousness, coated tongue, ague, malaria, sour stom-
ach or any other distress caused by a torpid liver
as quickly as a dose of vile, nauseating calomel,
besides k will not make you sick or keep you front
a day's work. T want to see a bottle of this won-
derful liver medicine in every home here.
Calomel is poison—it's mercury—it attacks the
bones, often causing rheumatism. Calotnel is dan-
gerous. It sickens—while my Dodson's Liver
lone is safe, pleasant and harmless. Eat any-
thing afterwards, because it can not salivate. Give
it to the children because it doesn't upset the stom-
ach or shock the liver. Take a spoonful tonight
and wake up feeling fine and ready for a full
day's work.
Get a bottle! Try it! If it doesn't do exactly
what 1 say, tell your dealer to hand your money
back. Every druggist and store keeper here knows
me anil knows of my wonderful discovery of a
vegetable medicine that takes the place of danger-
ous calomel—Adv.
