THE TIME TEST.
That Is What Proves True Merit.
Doan's Kidney Pills bring the quick-
est of relief from backache and kid-
ney troubles. Is that
relief lasting? Let
Mrs. James M. Long,
of 113 N. Augusta
St., Staunton, Va.,
tell you. On January
31st, 1903, Mrs. Long
wrote: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills have cured
me" (of pain in the
back, urinary trou-
bles, bearing down sensations, etc.).
On June 20th, 1907, four and one-hall
years later, she said: "I haven't had
kidney trouble since. I repeat my
testimony."

"You certainly wouldn't marry a girl
for her money, would you, Tom?"
"Of course not; neither would I have
the heart to let her become an old
maid because she happened to be well
off."
Laundry work at home would b«
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric la
hidden behind a ilaste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear-
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength than other makes.

FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pink-
Reunion Date Is Postponed.—The
first annual reunion of the members
of the Oklahoma constitutional con
vention, the Sequoyah constitutional
convention, thi; first state legislature
and the ChiekaBaw Squirrel Rifles,
which was to have been held at Sul-
phur August 19, has been postponed
until September 17. the first anniver-
sary of the state election.
Lien Is Filed.—The financial diffi
cullies of the Capital Canning com-
pany of Guthrie culminated in the
filing of a suit in the district conn
at that place by John T. Brlcker
against the company and D. M. Tib-
betts, its assignee, to foreclose a me-
chanic's lien of $675.75. Brickner al-
leges that he was to receive $3,790
for building the canning plant, and
that $673.75 is still unpaid.
Thresher Hand Injured.—While a'
tempting to reach an oil can that had
fallen into the machinery of a thresh-
er his foot slipped from Us hold, and
William Mills dropped int othe ma-
chinery. His right foot was complete-
ly severed and part of his fore leg
Slivered. He was removed to a hos-
pital at Winfield, Kansas, for treat-
ment.
Held as Alf Hunter's Accomplice.—
Ed Ellis, the negro who is said to
have confessed that ho was an ac-
complice of Alfred Hunter, the negro
who killed Sheriff Garrison of Okla
homa county, was held without bail
at Guthrie to answer a charge of first
degree murder. Hunter has never been
captured.
T oPerfect Organization.—Sponsor-
ed by Reprentatlve George White-
hurst of Saycr, the Anti-Sale of
School Lands ascoiatlon will meat
at Oklahoma City for the purpose of
effecting an organization and to form-
ulate plans for a general state-wide
campaign against this proposed ac-
tion, which comes before the people
of Oklahoma under the referenduri
auspices in the November elections.
It is the purpose of prominent oppon-
ents of this proposed sa'e to make a
definite organization and to conduct
an extensive campaign of education
against the proposition. Sentiment
is growing in this regard adverse to
the sale, and a crystalized arganiza-
tion to fight the proposition, it is
thought, will focalize the opposition
into an effective body.
Farmers Borrow From State.—The
state of Oklahoma has loaned to the
farmers out of the school fund $1,263,
160, and the school land department
has notes and mortgages drawn u,
that will place a half million more
tiltles can be verfied. Money has
been loaned to farmers at 5 per cent
interest in every county of the stat.
except ten or twelve, in sums vary-
ing from $300, the amount loaned so
far in Washington county, to $84,500
to Kiowa county. Several of the
counties have received less than
$1,000, but the larger number have
received several thousand dollars
each. In addition to the farm loans.
$1,052,000 of the $5,000,000 cash school
fund has been loaned to an aggre-
gate of forty-three counties of the
state to enable them to carry on a
county government until this year's
tax levy is available. Most of thes
are east side counties and new coun-
ties on the west side which had no
cash resources at the begninning of
statehood. The staus of the $5,000
000 school fund is: Total amount of
farm loans and county bond invest
ments, $2,321,160; borrowed tempor
arily to fund the state indebtedness
inherited from the territory, $1,460
000; balance on hand deposited in
banks hut subject to withdrawal for

bers was exonerated by the coroner's
jury for killing Ira Gregg at Pied-
mont, on the night of August 3.
Friends of Gregg are not satisfied, and
it is reported that they will swear

sheriff. Men who were in the room
say the evidence before the coroner's
jury was not correct. Deputy Sher-
iffs McKaln and Dohoney are report-
ed as saying that Sheriff Chambers
said he would "get to" Gregg. Con-
siderable excitement exists in El
Reno over the affair.

she visited the county poor farm and
county jail at Oklahoma City, accom-
panied by County Commissioner
George W. Carrico. Miss Barnard
stated that she would make out her
report soon, but at present had little
to say about conditions found. "If
siio found anything that was not to
her liking, she kept it from me," said
Commissioner Carrico. "I turned tin-
keys over to her and furnished a ve-
hicle for her to make the trip. I
think that she found conditions favor-
able, for everything was in good
shape." Miss Barnard left for Guth-
rie, but it is not known what hoi
schedule is from there. It Is known,
however, that she will go over the
state on an inspection tour, dropping
in where she is least expected. Miss
Barnard Is gleeful over the results of
obtained in Murray's district, stating
that she did only what she was told
to do by the state federation of labor.

Little One Had But One Idea of Term
"Fore-Handed."
Little Catherine has been boarding
on a farm this summer, and many of
'.he rural expressions are wholly un-
familiar to her. One day she chanced
:o hear her country hoBtess praising
the good qualities of a certain thrifty
neighbor.
He really ain't got much, com-
pared to some folks," said the farm-
er's wife, "but he makes out wonder-
ful well; he's so forehanded."
That evening the man thus lauded
happened to drop in, and Katherlne
immediately sidled up to him, with cu-
rious eyes. Slowly she revolved about
the chair in which he sat, and so per-
sistently did she gaze at him that the
farmer's wife finally noticed it.
"Well, Katherlne," she said, "you
seem to find a good deal to look at In
Mr. B ; don't you?"
"Why," replied the child, her little
forehead wrinkled In perplexity. "I
did want to see his two uvver hands,
but I can't. Is he Bittin' on 'em?"

It is seldom that an author has the
privilege of reviewing his own books,
says the New York Sun. Jesse Lynch
Williams was a very young reporter on
n New York dally when his first book,
"Princeton Stories," which has since
run through a dozen editions, first
came out. Vance Thompson was the
literary critic of the same staff. Ail
new reporters looked alike to him and
ke did not know Mr. Williams' name
when he asked him if he could w.lte
book reviews.
"I could try," was the answer.
"Well, try your hand on this one,"
said the critic, handing the reporter a
copy of his own book. "I'm a Prince-
ton man," Mr. Thompson added, "and
I might be prejudiced."
When the review was printed a few-
days later it concluded with: "We
hope to see other and better work by
the same pea."
All the Time—Covered with Tortur-
ing Eczema—Doctor Said Sores
Would Last for Years—Per-
fect Cure by Cuticura.
"My baby niece was suffering from
that terrible torture, eczema. It was
all over her body but the worst was
on her face and hands. She cried and
scratched all the time and could not
sleep night or day from the scratch-
ing. I had her under the doctor's
care for a year and a half and he
seemed to do her no good. I took her
to the best doctor In the city and he
said that she would have the sores
until she was six years old. But if I
bad depended on the doctor my baby
would have lost ner mind and died
from the want of aid. But I used
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
and she was cured in three months.
