“I BEGAN TO
TAKE CARDUI
And Soon Saw That It Benefited
Me” Writes This Kentucky
Lady. Read Her State-
ment.
Clifton Mills, Ky.—Mrs. C. W.
Woods, of this place, writes: "About 5
years ago I got In very bod health. 1
got thin, weighed only 01 lbs., and I
am. tall, too. I had dreadful pains In
my left ond right sides. ... I then
had In attendance Dr.-, who gave
medicine for about a year, which did
me no good. He then told me to take
Cardul. He said he thought It would
benefit me more than anything I could
take.
"I would get so bad off I could-’t do
my work at all, and I was confined to
my bed part of the time, and suffered
most of the time; sometimes awful
... I then began to take Cardul
and I soon began to see that It bene-
fited me. It eased my pains and the
enlargement went out of my . . .
and I have been steadily getting better
ever since.
"I am now In better health than I
have been since I first took sick, am
stout and can work all day long. . . .
I certainly am getting my former
health back and I have a good color
and feel better than since I got sick.
I now weigh 113% lbs.”
If you suffer from any of the ail-
ments so common to women, try
Cardul, the woman’s tonic.—Adv.

Just think t Tou can lift
off any corn or callus
without pain or soreness.
A Cincinnati man discov-
ered this ether compound
and named it freezone. Any
druggist will sell a tiny bot-
tle of freezone, like here
shown, for very little cost.
You apply a few drops di-
rectly upon a tender corn
or callus. Instantly the
soreness disappears, then
shortly you will find the
corn or callus so loose that
you can lift it right off.
Freezone Is wonderful. It
dries Instantly. It doesn’t
eat away the corn or cal-
lus, but shrivels it up with-
out even irritating the sur-
rounding skin.
Hard, soft or corns be-
tween the toes, as well as
painful calluses, lift right
off. There Is no pain be-
fore or afterwards. If your druggist
hasn’t freezone, tell him to order a
small bottle for you from his whole-
sale drug house.—adv.

M’ALESTER HAS CAMP SITE.
Government Wants Drill Ground for
27,000 Men and 8,000 Officers.
McAlester.—The army board ap-
pointed to select a military training
camp in Oklahoma and three in Tex-
as, lopked over McAlester’s maneuver
ground and water works, asked in-
numerable questions, answered none
at all that related to the business in
land, and went back to Dallas.
Brigadier General Charles G. Mor-
ton, head of the commission, explain-
ed that grounds large enough to ac-
commodate 27,000 men and 8,000 ani-
mals woud be wanted. A tract two
miles square would be wanted for
the camp, with siy additional square
miles for maneuvers,-he said. Mc-
Alester’s site offered originally is a
section of land, as much more ground
as needed is available and tentative-
ly offered.
The army officers wanted to know
about the health of the community,
freedom from disease, moral condi-
tions as to liquor and the s^Hal evil,
the water supply, fuel, lumber, elec-
tricity, roads, etc. In the event the
camp should be located here they
would use 1,500,000 gallons of water
daily. The city of McAlester is now
consuming about half that amount.
They would expect the water connec-
tions to be made at once and they
would require that the road to the
camp site be properly graded and
shaded.
Tulsa.—"I am simply astounded ti
find such an impressive collection o
blooded livestock here tor this salt
and show," said President Frank M
Gault of the state board of agricul
ture at the opening of Mld-Continem
Livestock Exposition and Horse Show
To a crowd of more than a thou
sand breeders and livestock enthus
iastB attending the opening of th<
sale, Mr. Gault, himself a veteran ant!
experienced stock raiser, declared
that only by Including the livestock
industry can this state do her pari
for the nation during the great war
He said greater livestock raisins
would mean that the state can not
only support itself but also can sup
ply other sections with a portion ol
the necessities of life.
Fifty-eight head of fine cattle were
auctioned*off at the opening of the
sale, bringing an average of $666 each.
The largest price for any one cow was
$1,850 for one of J. J. Gillespie’s
choice Shorthorns. It was purchas-
ed by H. M. Hill of Lafontaine, Kan.
Animals went to Kansas, Iowa, Arkan-
sas and Tennessee, but a majority
were grabbed by Oklahomans.

ance of more than three hundred mem-
bers and after one of the most success-
ful meetings In the history of the or-
der, the grand encampment of Odd
Fellows adjourned.
There was a sharp fight between
Muskogee and Tulsa for the next meet-
ing place, but Muskogee won.
A resolution was passed in the clos-
ing session remitting the dues of mem-
bers in the military service of the
country in the present war.

ped it off to Sheriff Ben Fitzgerald
and ai a result, Ben Willis, an es-
caped convict and leader of the gang,
is dead and Henry McCl&lre and Gro-
ver Merrill, Willie’ followers, are ly-
ing In the Pushmataha county jail,
suffering from wounds which may
cause their death.

which were fired by both Palmer and
Simon Mansour, Tuekahoma mer-
chant and director of the bank. Man-
sour wounded and caused the cap-
ture of Merrill within 150 yards of
the bank.
A lack of censorship In the Hugo
all made it possible for the bank
robbery plot to slip through. The
etters which named the bank and
fixed the date for the robbery were
excfipnged between Willis, who was
scouting in the hills, and McClalrs
and Merrill, who were inBide the Jail.
Merrill, who was serving a Bhort term
for being drunk, paid his fine and se-
cured his release. McClaire was sent
out with the county road gang and
escaped.

MAY FACE U. S. CHARGE
Scarcity of Pasture Ha# Led Cattle-
men to Invade Fort Sill.
Lawto .—Under instructions from
United States Attorney John A. Fain,
warrants have been issued from the
commissioner’s court here prefrrlng
chargs against a number of Comanche
county cattlemen for trespassing, with
their herds, upon the Fort Sill military
reservation.
One herder, Barney Williams, was
arrested. He waived preliminary trial
and was held to await the action of the
federal grand jury.
Long continued drouth and scarcity
of pasture has caused cattlemen to
drive their herds into the military res-
ervation wherever they could elude
guards placed by army officers. Many
times the wire fence surrounding the
reservation has been found cut, near
points where herds were found graz-
ing. Inability to keep these intruders
out forced the military authorities to
appeal to the district attorney.
—And Then Didn’t Marry Her.
Durant.—Mrs. Timmie Burris swore
to information charging M. D. Ledbet-
ter with having obtained from her a
little more than $2,000 under false pre-
tenses. Mrs. Burris, to whom Ledbet-
ter is sai dto have made promises of
marriage, alleges that he bad secured
from her additional sums amounting
to $800 on various pretexts. Twenty-
four hundred dollars found on Iedbet-
ter at the time of his arrest is being
held in escrow. Other cases have j
been filed against him. Ledbetter
ays that he is able to make bond.
Tulsa.—Tulsa property owners wil
not be asked to vote the $1,300,000
in bonds, as contemplated by the city
commissioners, because the war neces-
sitates some retrenchment. The com
missioners Intended to make Improve-
ments on the water system and to put
in a very elaborate system of sewers
in Kendall and all the outlying dis-
tricts.
Having recently spent $600,000 on
the waterworks, the commissioners
will let that suffice for the present, but
will ask for a bond Issue large enough
to make the sewer Improvements.
Kendall is to be taken into the city
and several other additions will be
taken in about the same time, Increas-
ing the city’s population by nearly
one-third.

Town of Bixby Swept By Fire.
Tulsa.—Fire swept the town of Bix-
by for a time threatening its total
destruction, but fire equipment sent
from Tulsa checked the flames after
they had destroyed the W. R. Picker-

STORY OF THE RAID
(By A. H. Palmer, President of the
First State Bank of Tuskahoma.)
We got a tip from Hugo early
in the morning that we were to be
robbed. I Immediately armed all
my neighboring merchants, asking
them to Join In the fight when I
gave the sinal. Then I placed
all the bank’s money, except about
$300 in sliver, Inside the vault
and hid a shot gun and automatic
rifle behind the vault door.
When the robbers appeared,
about 10:30 o’clock, E. H. Bailey,
cashier, and myself were the oqly
persons in the bank. They poked
their guns through the fixtures
and ordered us to shell out.
We shelled, loading them up
with all the silver In sight, and
offered no resistance whatever
when they ordered us into the
vault.
One of the robbers slammed the
vault door- but It failed to lock
and, as soon as I thought they had
time to turn their backs and start
toward the outer door, I kicked
open the vault door and opened
fire with my shot gun.
One of the robbers, the one who
carried the sack of money, was
just starting out the front door.
I let him have It In thq shoulders.
He fell against the door facing,
then staggered outside. Simon
Mansour, one of my directors who
runs a store near the bank, was
waiting for him on the outside,
with a shot gun. Mansour fired
and the robber fell.
As I started toward the bank
door, I found myself face to face
with another member of the gang.
We exchanged two or three more
shots before he finally fell.
“Don’t kill me, mister," he cried.
“All right, pardner,” I said. “I
never did shoot a man when he
was down.”
But I hadn’t mone than -.jult
speaking when he died.
The third man, who had run out
a side door, was caught about 150
yards from the bank. Mansour had
followed and shot him.
I think both wounded men will
die.
We didn’t know any of them.
