Says Drug Is Mercury and Acts
Like Dynamite on Your
Liver.
Dodson Is making a hard flght
ttgalnst calomel In the South. Every
druggist has noticed a groat falling ofl
In the sale of calomel. They all give
the same reason, Dodson'a Liver Tone
Is taking Its place.
"Calomel Is dangerous and people
know It, while Dodson's Liver Tone It
perfectly safe and gives better results,"
■aid a prominent local druggist Dod-
son's Liver Tone Is personally guaran-
teed by every druggist. A large bottle
costs but a few cents, and If It falls to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, yon
have only to ask for your money back.
Dodson'a Liver Tone is a pleasant-
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head-
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause Incon-
venience all the next day like violent
calomel. Take a dose of calomel to-
day and tomorrow you will feel weak,
Blck and nauseated. Don't lose a day's

New Cure for Spring Fever.
Lassoing mountain Hons Is a better
cure for spring fever than sassafras
tea, according to a mighty Chicago
hunter who has Just returned from a
first-class dose of his favorite spring
tonic. We may be pardoned if we
still persist in the belief that the dis-
ease Is much to be preferred to either
of the remedies prescribed.

$1,000 Monthly Not Sufficient For
Some Of The Young Full Bloods
It Is Stated
Ponca City, —Ac'ummulated mon-
ies and new incomes of restricted
Osage Indians are being used with
which to pay their old indebtness un-
der provisions of the new congres-
sional act which extends the Osage
trust period to 1946. A circular letter
jhas just been issued by J. George
Wright, the Osage agent, requeting
all persons who have Osage accounts
on their books to file them by June 15
and all such when properly attested
will be paid as rapidly as accumulat-
ing funds will permit.
It develops from an investigation
following the enactment of the re-
cent bill, that many of *he Osages
have gone into debt very heavily, par-
ticularly the young full-bloods." Get-
ting an average of $1,000 a month in-
come from oil royalties has not been
sufficient but it has also increased
their credit standing among merchants
generally.
OUTSIDE HELP IS NEEDED
State Seems Unable To Supply Har.
vest Hands, Connally Finds.
A wheat problem which It was
thought could be solved without ap-
plication for aid to outside states but
which had grown and grown until it
was necessary for Claude E. Connally
state labor commissioner, to get in
touch with Fort Worth, is Oklahoma's.
Fifteen towns in the eastern part of
the statfe are being called on for har-
vest labor by the larmers of the
northwest through the state labor of-
fice. Little aid can be expected from
Kansas, according to the labor coin
missioner for the reason that state
has harvest problems of its own. The
most unique harvest situation ever
faced by labor authorities is that
which causes Woods and Alfalfa
counties to call for aid before other
conunties and raise per diem wages
from $3 to $4.
The crest of the harvest, which
should arrive by Thursday, will see be-
tween 40,000 and 50,000 men at work
in Oklahoma fields, Connally thinks.

Normal Heads are Renamed.
The recent sessions of the legisla-
ture were forcibly recalled to the state
school board when its members found
the solons had appropriated enough
funds to give each head of a depart-
ment at the Edmond normal school a
$450 raise while heads of departments
at the Northwestern doing exactly the
same work over the same period could
only be given advances of $100 a year,
due to the lack of funds.
It was pointed out during the meet-
ing at which instructors for the com-
ing year were elected that work at all
the normal schodls is identical. J. P.
Battenburg, president of the North-
western normal, and other heads of
institutions eschewed the idea of ad-
vances of presidential salaries during
the meeting.
"Let the Instructors have it" was
the sentiment expressed where raises
were to be given.
H. G. Bennett was re-elected presi-
dent of the Southeastern state normal
school, J. P. Battenburg of the North-
western and John G. Mitchell of the
Central state normal while J. W.
Blattner and O. W. Steward respec
tively were renamed superintendents
of the school for the deaf at Sulphur
and the school for the blind at Mus-
kogee. Steward was returned to the
Muskogee institution for the eleventh
time.

Pawhuska. Okla —When the acreage
In the Burbank district in the western
part of Osage county was offered for
sale the fireworks started and $3,759,-
600 was paid for the stuff In the west
ern part of the county including Bur-
bank, running the total proceeds for
the sale to $4,559,100, making it rate
with the most successful sales tor*
the standpoint of the Osage Indians
yet held.
The Prairie Oil and Gas company
paid $1,010,100 for three tracts and
was the principal purshaser. It was
closely pushed by the Marland Refin-
ing company of Ponca City and the
big companies of Tulsa for the largest
purchasing power; $3,256,000 was paid
lor the fourteen close in tracts in the
Burbank field alone thus showing that
although the oil business is badly de-
pressed by unfovorable financial con
dltlons the larger companies have
plenty of ready money in an emerg
ency.
The sale of the east side in which
120 tracts were offered for sal
brought $799,600, so the sale of sturr
on the west side so completely over-
shadowed the east side that It was
hardly worthy of mention.

EASILY PREPARED BLACKBERRY
DISHES.
There are two kinds of blackberries
of which the low bush or dew berry
Is the earliest to
come into the
market and is
much more dell-
clous than the
later high bush
blackberry.
For an every-
d a y blackberry
pie, make a plain pie crust, line a
deep pan nnd fill with sweetened fresh
berries, cover with a top crust and
bake. This makes a Juicy pie which
may be served with or without cream.
To keep the pie from boiling over and
losing Its juice, make a small paper
funnel and stick Into the top; the
Juice will boll up and fall back with-
out wasting.
Blackberry Pudding.—Butter, finger-
sized pieces of bread and place In the
bottom of a well-greased baking dish,
cover with sweetened blackberries and
repeat until the dish is full. Place In
the oven and bake, serve either hot or
cold with cream nnd sugar.
Blackberry Dumpling*. — Stew a
quart or two of the berries In a deep
saucepan. When boiling have ready
some soft biscuit dough cut out Into
small biscuits and plnce over the top
of the pan. Cover closely and steam
until done. Do not let the biscuits
rise to touch the cover. Serve hot
with the. berries ns sailer.
Blackberry Jelly.—Dissolve one box
of gelatine In a little cold water, add
three pints of holling water, the
grated rind of one lemor. and one
orange, the Juice of four oranges nnd
one lemon. Let stand fifteen minutes,
strain and add one quart of black-
berries, pour Into Individual glasses
and set In ■ cold place to harden.
When ready to serve garnish with
whl|>i>ed cream and a perfect Iterry.
For a breakfast dlsli there <an he
nothing more refreshing than a dish
rrf fresh Jnlcy blackberries, each
covered with sugar.
Beef Red Hot.—Cut roast beef or
pork In thin slices. Slice thin sweet
red peppers and firm ripe tomatoes.
Slice one onion thin and brown In Gut-
ter. Into a baking d!«h put n layer of
meat, a layer of tomato and pepper
with seasoning of salt, pepper and
paprika for each layer. Over all pour
a sauce made from the gravy of the
ment, the butter from the frying of
the onions. Add a little curry or chut-
ney and a dash of cayenne. Bake In
the oven thirty minutes or until well
browned over the top.

It happened after the club meeting.
Two members met In the corridor.

"What about him?"
"Well, you know what a lovely
home his wife bought with his Insur-
ance money?"
"Yes, of course."

his widow married again as soon as
Mrs. Humpson passed away."
"What, again?"
"Yes; that's three times for him."
"No wonder you say, 'Poor Uriah.'"

must feel up there looking down on

THEIR ESTIMATES TOO LOW
Proof That Engineer# Have Erred in
Their Figures Concerning the
Weight of Crowds.
Interesting experiments were made
some time ago at Harvard university
which seem to demonstrate that en-
gineers usually underestimate the
maximum loading caused by dense
crowds on bridges, floors and plat-
forms. Forty men averaging 163
pounds In weight placed In a box six
feet square caused an average pres-
sure of 181 pounds to the squa-e foot
on the floor.
/fuv* engineer has estimated the
weight per square foot of the densest
crowds on the New York elevated rail-
ways at only 45 pounds, but since the
Harvard experiments the opinion has
been expressed that the maximum
loading on the elevated curs and plat-
forms may be nearer 181 than 45
pounds. This applies to other clos
packed crowds.
