HASN'T MISSED
A SINGLE MEAL
Since She Began to TaKe Cardui,
the Woman's Tonic, Says Mrs.
Looney, of Memphis
Memphis, Tenn.—"I had suffered
untold misery, for nearly 8 years,"
writes Mrs. Emma D. Looney, B. P.
D. No. 1, Memphis, Tenn., "but since
taking 47ar\ul, I can truthfully say I
suffeijpQfy little pain.
"I wish I had begun using Cardui
long ago. Since using It, I have not
missed a single meal, and am much
stronger than I was.
"I hardly know how to express my
gratitude, for the advice you gave me."
Don't worry about your symptoms—
Cardui doesn't treat them.
What you need Is strength. Cardui
helps you get it
Get Cardui, because other tonics and
medicines do not contain Its peculiar
and successful Ingredients, Imported
especially by us, for ite manufacture.
Only in Cardui, can you obtain this
combination of curative herbs and
tonlo medicines, which half a oentury
of success has stamped with the seal
of publlo approval.
Ask your druggist. He will tell you
that Cardui can be depended upon to
help you.
Try Cardui.

age here, and every day those little hearts
go up in prayer for the people who have
donated for them. Let us in the same
way furnish this hospital for the poor
in Oklahoma City. A few rloh men may
be able to put up three hundred dollars
and furnish a room. The rest of us can
tfonate $25.00 or $50.00 and be one of
tlve or six to have our names on a brass
plate on one of the doors of this build-
ing. and thus when wo are dust posterity
will know that some kindness lived in
Oklahoma City in the year 1911. Do it
tin the name of your beloved dead.
There are still many things to do to
make the city hospital equal to that of
other cities which rank with Oklahoma.
There should be a library in "this insti-
tution for the convalescing patients and
for the chronic cases.
No Church Service.
Up to this time, although the institu-
tion is a couple of years old, no one has
held church services excepting the Chris-
tian Endeavor Association, and -the splen-
did matron out there tells me that those
helpless sick invalids look forward
from week to week for Sunday to
arrive as this visit is the one
pleasure brought to them from the
outside world. The matron stated
that a few hammocks would be greatly
appreciated, and I .believe some air-cash-
Ions for the tired sick backs would help
to keep down bed sores, and some back-
rests such as Dr. Riley showed me in
the new city hospital for acute diseases,
would enable weak and weary patients
<to sit up and change their position for a
time. There is no danger whatever for
any one to drive out there in their auto-
mobile. The public road passes right by
the place, and if you will telephone
Walnut 4503 we will give you exact in-
structions how to get there, or Dr. Riley
will be glnd to give yoj this informa-
tion, and I believe that the christian
citizens of Oklahoma would prove them-
selves as possessors of a much more
practical and really worthy christian
spirit if they would demonstrate their
christian belief by a few kindly acts
i*owards this Institution. A few pictures
hung on the wall out there would prob-
ably vary the monotony of weary days
and months, and you may some day be In
a position to appreciate Just such kind-
nesses, for I helped to bury a man from
our county poor house who had once been
a millionaire on Wall Street, and I have
lilue patience for -that variety of Chris-
tianity which oontents Itself only 1ji
praying prayers and singing psalms. 1
believe that a real genuine christian is
apt to at some time or other, find them-
selves visiting a poor house, a hospital
or a Jail.
We are also in very great need of a
visiting nurse to give after-care to the
sick poor who return from this Insti-
tution to their lowly and poorly equip-
ped homes. If some of the rich men and
women who read this article would like
to do some real good let them call the
Free Press up and signify their willing-
ness to give five or ten dollars a month
towards placing a visiting nurse in the
homes o' the sick poor of Oklahoma
' Ity, and let them do this in memory
of some dear one whom they have re-
cently laid away. Iyet every one who
reads this -try to do something for tne
poor and helpless of Oklahoma. Surely

CORN AND COTTON OOOD.
That the wheat condition is still on
the decline but cotton conditions aro
Ideal with prospects excellent for a bum-
per crop, and corn Is still In good shape
despite the dry weather, is the showing
made by the monthly crop bulletin of the
state board of agriculture, Issued Wed-
nesday. A notable feature of the bul-
letin is the immense increase in cot-
ton acreage reported, which is the
greatest in the history of the state.
The greatest damage done by the
drought, which was finally broken by
this week's rains, was to oats and al-
falfa. Some damage is reported from
Insects, but not of a serious character.
The board finds from the reports of
its crop correspondents covering seven-
ty-five of the seventy-seven counties In
the state, that on May 25, 1911, the
growing condition of winter wheat for
the state was 53 per cent, as compared
with 65 per cent last month and with
88.3 per cent, on May 25, 1910.
The past month has been unfavorable
on both ""wheat and oats on account
of the lack of moisture to mature the
crops In the principal producing coun-
ties. General rains have occurred dur-
ing the past week which will benefit
late sown oata in some localities.
The reports also show much dam-
age to wheat and oata during the
past month by hot winds and
by green bugs and chinch bugs.
The counties reporting damage by
;reen bugs and chinch bugs are Adair,
Rogers, Ottawa. Mayes. Marshall, Ki-
owa. Johnston, Jackson, Qiant and Gar-
field. Texas and Cimarron counties re-
port the Canadian thistle to have ruin-
ed much wheat.
The long drought which prevailed
throughout the spring and winter
months in Central and Western Okla-
homa was broken during the latter
part of the month with heavy rains, but
owing to the fact that the report is
Issued so soon after the general rains,
the crop correspondents were unable to
Judge the prospects with any degreo
of accuracy as to how much of the
wheat and oats crop will be revived by
'he rains. The reports further Indicate
i hat much wheat has been abandoned
during the past month In some of the
bis wheat producing counties on ac-
count of the crop being unable to ma-
ture owing to unfavorable conditions.
Wheat Crop Spotted.
The wheat crop this year, however,
will be spotted on accounnt of the pe-
culiar weather conditions and the
yields will vary much in the same lo-
calities on account of some sections of
the wheat belt having sufficient show-
ers to mature the crop, while in other
sections the crop is practically a failure.
The growing condition for the twenty-
five counties considered as the wheat
counties is shown to be 40 per cent.,
which Is 13 per cent, below the stats
average and 7.3 per cent, below the
condition reported last month for the
same counties. Wheat harvesting has
commenced In some sections snd Is
about ready for harvesting in a majority
of the wheat producing counties. Or.
account of much wheat being abandoned
? pa8t month- 1* Impossible
at this time to give any estimate on
the average to be harvested. Last
month's report showed the average at
ilih "V" f°r harvC8t as compared
with 1,381,847 acres in 1910.
Reports from fifty-six of the cot-
ton ffrowlns: counties show the cotton
average to be 127 per cent, as com-
P?re,i„ h, ,hat Plan">1 In the spring
of 1910, although the department has
experienced more difficulty ln getting
Information on this question than in
several years, on account of the back-
ward season which delayed the planting
of the crop. 8
Cotton Above Average.
The growing condition of cotton is re-
ported at 81.5 per cent as compare^ with
85.2 on May 25, 1910. The reports are
unanimous In declaring that no damage
has been done to the crop by either
frost or hail and that prospects for
bumper crop were never better at this
season of the year. But little replanting
will bo necessnrv, as the latest reports
Indicate that the cotton which failed to
come up in some sections on account
of drought is now coming up nicely.
The weather conditions have been Ideal
for cotton during the past month. Thirty
of the largest producing counties report
the condition 90 per cent and above, and
a number of counties which grew but
comparatively little cotton have reduced
the acreage for the state.
The condition of com Is about the
same as last month, despite the unfav-
orable weather conditions during the
early part of last month and the stand
is unusually good, as less than 5 per
cent of the crop is being replanted.
The sixty-five counties reporting show
the growing condition on May 25, 1911
at 82.5 per cent as compared with 88
per cent last month and with 8S.9 per
cent on May 25. 1910. The corn condi-
tion is doubtlessly better than the re-
ports Indicate as there has been but
slight damage to the crop by drought
and no damage whatever is reported by
hall or frost. The reports recite that
the conditions are above the average and
that the crop has been better cultivated
than usual, this enabling the plants
which are in a healthy condition to re-
ceive the full benefit from the recent
rains. The majority of the reports from
the big producing counties are 90 per
cent and above and the average was
reduced by a few reports as low as 55
per cent from counties Where the aver-
age is small. Washita, Stephens, No-
wata, Greer, Harmon and Hughes coun-
ties report some damage by chinch bugs
and by drought.
Condition of Oats.
On account of the drought In the
western central and southern portions
of the state, which was only recently
broken by heavy rains, and material
damage by the chinch bugs in some sec-
tions, the oats crop has suffered much
during the past several weeks. The
oats crop is practically a failure In soma
oountles. The growing condition on May
26, 1911, Is reported at 63 per cent as
compared with 88 per cent last month,
and showing a falling off of 8o per cent
during the month. The condition of
oats on May 25. 1910 waa 83.4 per cent
The maximum damage is reported from
Canadian county where the condition re-
Tillman county is a close second with a
condition of 10 per cent. Twenty-five
counties report a condition of 40 per
cent and under.
The alfalfa crop has suffered from
the drought as has the wheat and oat i
but not near so much. The condition
of the crop on May 26, 1910, waa 64 per
cent aa compared with 88.6 per oent
last month and with 71.• par oent on

HIS GLASS EYE BLOWS UP
Special to the Free Press.
Allentown, Pa.. June 1.—The falae eye worn by Building Inspector Frank
R. Mlnner exploded as he aat chatting with a friend. Mlnntr foil ln a swoon.
His companion waa at a loss to know what had happened until blood began
to flow from the inspector's eye aooket. It Is feared that particles of glass
have penetrated Mlnner'a brain, ln which event serious reaults are looked
for. He ia unconscious.
The theory is advanced that celluljld had been substituted for glaaa In
the making of the eye, and that the heat of the body caused the explosion.
