During the past ten days many
inquiries have been made as to the
number of eases ot typhoid fever
existing in certain towns in the
State of Oklahoma, showing a de
eidod uneasiness on the part of the
public and a general belief that it
is more prevalent in Oklahoma
than heretofore. Readers will pro-
bably be interested in knowing that
in the month of July, 15111, there
was .")25 eases of typhoid fever re
ported and 83 deaths. In the month
of July, 1912, 308 cases and 44
deaths, and in the month of July
1W1 :>, there was 300 cases and 41
deaths. This proves that typhoid
fever has not prevailed to such
extent this year as it has previous
years.
Typhoid fever i s a preventable

writes: "Do you advise the use of

Answer: Alleged madstones arc
hoax pure and simple. They have
no more effect in treatment of hy-
drophobia than an ordinary grind- mar, civic
stone. We recommend the Pasteur
treatment. Notify your County

To the Public School Patrons,
City and County Superintendents!
I realize that the most important
question lie fore the people a t this
time is what books should be used
in the public schools when they
open next month. 1 have tried 1 y
every means possible to get this
matter settled before the opening of
the schools, and f o r that reason
have with-hcld any official state
nicut until this time.
The question is before the su
preme court of the? state a nd will
be heard the Oth day of September
Until after the court's decision is
made no one will know just what
books should lie bought.. Letters
have been sent through-out t h e
state by book houses whose con
tracts expired July 31st advising
the public that the Supreme court
has held that the 1008 books should
be used. A number of these letters
have been sent to me. In my opin-
ion they are misleading and in no
particular conform to the court"?
decision.
The adoption made in 1008 ex-
pired the 31st day o f last month
If the supreme court holds the 1012
adoption to be good, then the books
adapted in 1012 will lie used exclu-
sively. If the supreme court should
hold that the 1012 adoption is not
ood, then there i s no adoption
md any-book may be used without
Hard to any previous adoption.
To all who have written me for
nforination, I have replied that
they should buy only t h e books
over which there is no controversy,
nd make out the first few days of
•liool 'without buying books over

The readers of this paper will be
phfuiicd to barn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in ail its stages, and
that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca-
tarrh Cu^e js taken internally, acting
directly upon the bloocl and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist-
ing nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testi-
monials.
