—Is'Like a New Man Since
Taking Tanlac.
"This Is the first medicine I have
ever taken thut reully does what they
say it will" sa'd J- F. Holley, a well-
known Lexington, K.v„ man.
"I hadn't felt like a well man for
ten weeks and my whole system
seemed to be rundown and debilitated, j
I couldn't sleep at night and my diges-
tion was so bad I couldn't eat. At-
tacks of headache were frequent and
my nervous system seemed to be dis-
ordered. My worst trouble was rheu-
matism. My muscles seemed to be tied
In knots. I couldn't use my right arm
and I wns Just about helpless. Some-
body persuaded me to try Tanlac and
I got a bottle of that medicine.
"Tanlac certainly Is making a new j
man out of me. I can now eat and
sleep like I haven't been able to do for
years. My rheumatism is all gone and
I feel strong and built up in every way. ;
I am a well man and I certainly thank j
my friend who suggested my using
Tanlac."
J. B. Woodward, another Lexington j
man who resides at 256 Hand Avenue,
said: "X suffered from stomach trou- i
ble, rheumatism and neuralgia for
ye rs, and before I took Tanlac 1
couldn't raise my left hand to my head.
It had been that way for fully two
yjars."
"I have used Tanlac two or three
weeks and am like a new man. My
family and friends see the difference
and it is the actual truth. I take great
pleasure in recommending this medi-
cine Tanlac."

publican troops were reported converg-
ing toward Peking to drive out the
Manchu forces remaining In posses-

dog fanciers facing ruin
Dealers in England See Disaster in
High Taxes Placed on Animals
to Conserve Food Supply.
I)os fanciers in England, especially^
the women, say that the new dog
taxes are going to Ulll the business
they have been carefully building up
for years. They do not object to the
suggested increase on old licenses, but
they fear the big tax on new dogs is
going to frighten away all their cus-
tomers.
There are many British women with
small incomes living in the country
who have invested most of (heir money
in dogs as a business. They were
willing to mark time till the end of
the war, looking forward to a revival
In their business afterward. Trade is
of course slack just now, but with no
money coming in at all they will be
unable to retain their kennels.
One fancier spoke bitterly of the
sensational stories told in certain-Quar-
ters about pampered dogs and the im-
possible amount of food they were ac-
cused of eating.
Using Cast-Off Gloves.
A use for all sorts of cast-off gloves
has been found in London In connec-
tion with relief work in Kngland. The
old leather, after proper sterilization,
is applied on heavy cambric or buck-
ram and made into sleeveless wind-
proof Jackets, which are much In de-
mand for men both In the trenches and
the navy.
Considerate.
"Have you a calendar for 1014?"
asked the gentleman.
"1 don't know, sir," replied the sales-
person. "We might have such a thing
among the odds and ends In the base-
ment. But if you wish to make a gift
to someone, surely a calendar for
1817—"
"This is for a Indy, who is—er—a
bit sensitive about her age, you see.
And I thought—well, It would be more
delicate, in a manner of speaking."—

Tulsa county farmers say that never
before have they had Buch wheat as j
they have grown this year.
The First National Bank of Heald-
ton has opened for business witti a
capital and surplus of $30,000.
London.—A score or more of air-
planes flew over the business section
of London, dropping their bombs
quickly and speeding off southward.
Their explosives caused some prop-
erty damage in the heart of London
and killed thirty-seven persons and
Injured 141. These official figures
show the casualties to have been not
nearly so heavy as In the big raid of
June 13, when 151 persons were killed
and 430 injured.
On that occasion the Germans lost
only one machine, according to the
British admission, while Berlin claimed
all its machines returned safely. This
time, however, four of the German
raiders were brought down, one by
army aviators at the mouth of the
Thames and three after an engage-
ment with British naval aviators forty
miles out at sea on the return trip.
British airmen at Dunkirk, across
the channel, who went out looking for
the raiders and failed to find them,
did such effective repressive work on
other German aircraft that seven hos-
tile machines were accounted for with-
in a brief period.
Lasts Twenty Minutes.
The flight of the (lermans over Lon-
don lasted about twenty minutes.
British airmen engaged them for sev-
eral minutes and anti-aircraft guns
were firing quickly but without suc-
cess as far as concerned the destruc-
tion of any of the twenty or more in-
vading machineiv
On their former visit, also made in
hazy weather, the Germans kept tiigh
In the mists, but when they neared
their objectives on this trip most of
them descended. Their formation was
like a flock of wild geese and neither
the British pursuers nor the guns
were able to scatter them until they
spread out before letting loose their
bombs
Hundreds of thousands of persons
on roofs, from windows and in the
streets saw the spectacle. All London
heard the noise of battle.
Insistent demands are being made
by the public for retaliatory raids on
German cities.
Essen Raid Kills Five.
Amsterdam.—A frontier correspond-
ent of the Handelsblad reports that
five persons were killed and several
houses were destroyed during the
bombardment of the German city of
Essen, home of the great Krupp works.
A correspondent of the Telegraaf says
bombs were dropped on the Krupp
works and that reports of damage
inflicted are conflicting. Estimates of
the number of attackers vary from
fifteen to forty. (The official French
statement said one French airplane
raided Essen, dropping bombs on the
Krupp factory.)
Ghlstelles Alrdome Raided.
London.—Royal navy airplanes car-
ried out a raid on the Ghistelles air-
dome. Although heavily attacked by
an enemy formation, bombs were suc-
cessfully droppe don objectives and
all the British machines returned
safely.
Lenand Miller, son of Mrs. L. D.

Every drug store and soda fountain
in Chickasha has pledged Itself to fur-
nish free soda water to every Confed-
erate veteran who attends the state
.reunion July 10-12.
Harvest is practically over In Major
county and to all appearances will
have the largest yield for years, the
estimates being placed at from 18 to
30 bushels to the acre.
By direction of the state marketing |
commission, F. L. Rounsevell, secre-
tary, will undertake as his first work
the organization of the melon growers
of the Rush Springs and Marlow Dis-
tricts.
Lack of stock water and grain in
Kiowa and Commanche counties has
caused much of the cattle to be re-
moved or sold. Some parts of Kiowa
county are dryer than they have been
for fifteen years.
Thirty-two acres of barley on the
Johnson farm, just east of Chickasha,
was threshed and yielded better than
fifty bushels to the* acre. The grain
is selling for more than $2 a bushel,
making the returns from the land on
this one crop better than $100 to the
acre.
Will Holt was killed and Ed Ra-
chel was seriously wounded in a
shooting affray at Holt's residence,
ten miles from Madill. Andy Cross-
lin Burrenderel to the sheriff and was
lodged In jail. Racheal was married
ten days ago. Causes of the shooting
are not known.
A total of 9,523 diplomas of grad-
uation from the common schools have
been issued, exclusive of Roger Mills,
Alfalfa and Comanche counties, which
have not been reported, according to
figures compiled at the statae super-1
intendent's office. Grant county, with j
325 graduates, leads the list bo far. (
The school house of Roberta, Bryan
county, was completely destroyed by
fire, possibly of incendiary origin, last;
week. The loss was $3,500, with very
little Insurance. There has been con-[
siderable contention among the peo- 1
pie of that community as to the uses
to which the building might properly
be put, outside of school purposes.
The dispute over the division of the
$1,500 reward for the capture of Ybor
Howell, the youthful bandit, who rob-
bed the Bradley State Bank, was set-
tled when officers of the State Bank-
ers Association and the state banking
board decided that it should be equal-
ly divided between the forty-two mem
bera of the posBe to whom Howell
surrendered.
Wheat in Custer county Is exceed-
ing in yield the estimates placed on
it before harvest, according to re-
ports rccived by the state board of
agriculture. The average yield is be-
tween 12V4 and 15 bushels an acre.
Lack of rain has dried up many of
the pastures and some livestock is
being shipped out of the county. Su-
dan grass and sweet clover are doom-
ed unless a good rain is received soon.
All proprietors and managers of ho-
tels and, rooming houses, restaurants,
drug stores, bakeries and meat mar-
kets are required by law to obtain an
annual license from the state board
of health not later than July 1. Dr.
John W. Duke, state commissioner of
health has issued a notice calling at-
tention to this requirement.
Twenty-three Oklahoma physicians
have offered their services to Uncle
Sam and have been accepted during
the past sixty days. Of this number,
twelve live in Oklahoma City. Many
others have made application for ap-

cause they were unable to pass the
physical examination.
"Unpatriotic," was the way Gover-
nor Williams characterized the action
of several county superintendents of
health nho sent In claims of $7.50
each for the work done in supervising
the county registration work, June 5.
Governor Williams indicated that he
will direct Dr. John W. Duke state
health commissioner, to remove the
physicians from their official places it
they Insist on payment for their ser-
vices. The number that filed claims
wss not great.
A county council In every county in
Oklahoma will be organized within
the next few days, according to the
officials of the Oklahoma State Coun
eli of Defense, who are perfecting
plans for the machinery that will
take the work of the national and
state councils directly to citizens.
Members of the county boards will be
selected by the state organization, to
jwrve probably for the duration of

determined, but each county board

feasible width of roads
First Deputy Highway Commissioner
of New York Tells of Troubles
Encountered by Him.
Most of the rouds built In New Tork
by the state are 16 feet wide. When
money whs voted for the highway sys-
tem it was on the basis of approxi-
mately $13,000 per mile. This was in
1912, and $13,000 was a low figure
even for that date. Under present
conditions it is obviously Impossible
to complete the system as planned
then, and extra width is a serious ex-
pense. H. Eltinge Breed, first deputy
highway commissioner of New York,
recently stated that only by the strict-
est economy, by substituting different
classes of pavement within certain lim-
its of cost, and by using federal aid.
will it be practicable to have all the
Important roads brought together Into
n good highway system. It would be
far better, he says. If there were suffi-
cient funds to build them 18 feet wide
for two lines of truffle and 24 feet for
three lines. The use of motor ve-
hicles is steadily Increasing und they
m re being constructed wider. Hence
they require pavements where vehicles
at least 90 Inches wide can pass one
another comfortably and frequently.
Eighteen feet is probably the narrow-
est width that permits this, according
to Mr. Breed. Especially is this true,
he says, in the case of concrete roads,
because the trausltlon from the hard
concrete surface to the earth shoulder
and back again becomes reully danger-
ous In some soils on account of the
rut that traffic usually wears along the
joining line.

Calomel 1b mercury or quicksilver,
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes Into sour bile like

cramping.
Listen to me! If you want to enjoy
the nicest, gentlest liver and bowel

will clean your sluggish liver better
than a dose of nasty calomel and that
it won't make you sick.
Dodson's Liver Tone is real liver

your headache and dizziness gone,
your stomach will be Bweet and your

Dodson's Liver Tone Is entirely

The mileage of concrete pavements

The durability of concrete roads has
not yet been fully proved because there
are no old pavements ir. existence. The
condition of those which have under-
gone several years' service indicates
they wear well.
The disadvantages of concrete as a
rond surface are Its noise under horse
traffic; the wearing of the necessary
joints in the pavement, and the ten-
dency to crack, with Its consequent
rapid deterioration; the difficulty of
repairs when these become necessary.
