r* Dr. Hartman Says:
Write to Parana Testimonials If Ya«
Want to Know tho Truth.
Ths following letter was received
Dr. Hartman through his regular
respondence:
'I notice the testimonial of Mra.
AliceQBogle, which you give In your
list article. If I should write her do
you suppose she would give me fur-
ther particulars? I have heard It aald
many times that such testimonials are
fakes; that they are either absolutely
fictitious or else the people have been
hired to write them. I have been In-
clined to write you a great many
times but these stories about patent
medicine advertisements have dis-
couraged me from doing so. I am
afflicted with catarrh and should like
very much to find a remedy such aa
your article describes."
To the above letter Dr. Hartman
made the following reply:
My dear Madam:—I do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
all faith in advertised remediea.
There ha* been bo much said against
them, so much controversy concern-
ing them, I am not surprised that
some people have lost confidence In
them.
I wish you would write Mrs. Bogle,
aa one woman to another. I wish you
would ask her whether she has been
hired to write such a testimonial,
whether her testimonial representa
the truth.
I hope you will remember that she
is a housewife, like yourself, that she
has something to do besides write
letters, that she la a woman of mod-
erate means and cannot afford to
write these letters and pay her own
postage. I hope you will enclose
B)nmp so she can answer you without
loss to herself Mrs. Bogle 1b a very
estimable lady and no doubt you will
both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh I would be very glad
to hear of the result. I can assure you
that no use will be made of your let-
ter, except by your written consent.
Mrs. Bogle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter, which is ray
reason for doing so, and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.
People recover from chronic ca-
tarrh who take Peruna. There is no
doubt about that. Some surprising
^recoveries are reported almost dally.
I have thousands of them in my files.
Peruna is for sale at all drug Btores.

FIRST STEPS IN
ATTORNEY-GENERAL WEST FILES
CHARGE8 AGAINST FARRIS
AND MEYER
ECHO OF RED BOOK CASE
In Which Farrla Waa Acquited of
Forging the Name of William
Stryker to a Warrant
For S600.00
Jan. 20.—A few noure after a charge
of forgery against State Printer Giles
W. Farris, in connection with the pub-
lication of the famous Oklahoma Red
Book, had been dismissed in the Jus-
tice of the peace courts on the grounds
that the prosecution had failed to
make a case, Governor Cruce trans-
mitted to the house of representatives
letters and document*" by Attorney
General West as the grounds for Im-
peachment proceedings against the
state printer upon the same complaint
which the courts had dismissed, and
for impeachment proceedings against
State Auditor Leo Meyer also.
The attorney general, In the letter
the governor transmitted, not only
holds that testimony in the Justice of
the peace hearings proved the liability
of the state printer to Impeachment,
but connects State Auditor Leo Meyer
with him as an accomplice, and alleges
in plain language that the Red Book
"practice" Is the least of the matters
that will be presented to the legisla-
ture In regard to the state auditro.
Proceedings Expected
The impeachment proceedings
against the two high state officials
created no surprise, and have been ex-
pected in the house of representatives
ever since the first day of the session.
For months the tension between vari-
ous state departments has been
strained, owing to the particulars sur-
rounding the Red Book contract and
the state examiner and inspector's in-
vestigation, and, in as great degree,
to the efforts of Attorney General
Charles West to learn who got the
rest of the money from the Bill Mc-
Brine warrants, of which the attorney
general says McBrine himself got only
about half, leaving approximately, ac-
cording to the attorney general, some-
thing like $14,000 to be accounter for.
As a result of the attorney general's
efforts to connect the state auditor
with the McBrine warants, there has
developed a natural ard bitter feud
between Mr. West and State Auditor
Meyer, and Mr. Meyer himself began
the open fighting several days ago
when he furnished members of the
legislature with copies of expense ac-
counts of the attorney general's office
since statehood, which led to resolu-
tions being introduced Into the house
accusing the later of "unspeakable
prodigality."
House Pauses Several Bills
The house passed finally the Ed-
mond son-Bare tt-Randall bill for the
payment of mileage and per diem of
delegates to Stillwater, the senate hav-
ing receded from its amendment. And
other bills finally passed were by
Lemon, to create a threshers' lien;
by Smith of Dewey, to authorize an
extension of not more than sixty days
in which to pay taxes where the rolls
have not been extended, etc.; by
Chase, abolishing the branch of the
county court at Lenapah, Nowata
county.
Jan. 17—The growing seriousness
with which the legislators are regard-
ing the "investigation" resolutions,
and the now general recognition of
the fact that investigations of certain
state departments nnd officials, as
well as Institutions, will be an Im-
portant part of the work of the fourth
legislators, was reflected by Speaker
Maxey in appointing the committee on
"investigation of judiciary and execu-
tive departments," along with the
other standing committees to be
named for the session.
The committee this session has on
it aome of the strongest men In the
house. W. A. Durant, Hill of Pittsburg,
Teehee of Cherokee, Bishop, Lemon,
Spengler, Charles and Christian
(chairman) being the members,
committees which in past legislatures
havxe proved more trivial than useful.
Most of the lnvestigsting resolu-
tions are being referred to a joint
house committee composed of judicia-
ries No. 1 and No. 2, and tho report of
this committee is expected to materi-
ally clear the situation, that Is, as to
a recess during the session, or an In-
vestigating committee after the legia-
lature is done
The house adopted the resolution
by Rexroat and Cook calling unon
State Enforcement Officer Caudlll for
a complete report as to the work and
results of the work of his office.
Workmen's Compensation Aet.
A workmen's compensation act,
based almost entirely on the New
Jersey law, was Introduced by Senator
Anderson. The proposed law provides
that it is no defenBe where a fellow
servant la partially responsible for
the Injury of another workman, the
only defense would be in the case of
willful negligence on the part of the
person Injured. The burden of proof
of neglect either on the part of the
Injured or the fellow servant contri-
buting, would have to be borne by
the defendant.
A bill by Senator Sutherlln, provides
that any officer or person who is con-
victed, of the crime of embezzling
money or property, may be subjected
to penitentiary sentence of not less
than three years nor more than
twenty-one years, and to pay a fine
equal to double the amount of money
or property embezzled
.To Regulate Employment Agencies.
Regulating ^ivate emrloyment
agencies, and vesting power in the
state labor commissioner to prescribe
certain regulations and have power to
prosecute in cases of violations, State
Labor Commissioner C. A. Daugherty
has a bill prepared which will be in-
troduced in the Oklahoma legislature
at this session. The proposed law
provides that these agencies must ob-
tain a license from the state labor
commissioner before they attempt to
operate, by paying a license fee of
$100 a year.
Aycock Is Seated'
| By a strict party vote, with but one
exception, the senate voted to seat
George L. Aycock, democrat, from the
I First senatorial district. The vote
stood 27 to 9, Senator Barrett voting
with the minority on the final motion
to seat Aycock. Langston, who is a
republican, would have been the hold-
over senator from that district, but it
was asserted that when he accepted
a position as deputy United States
marshal he vacated his senatorial po-
I Bitlon and this offered the Issue in the
i contest.

Going After Attorney General
Attorney General Charles West, who
has held his high office Blnce state-
hood, Is charged with having conduct-
ed its affairs with "unspeakable prod-
igality," in resolutions introduced into
the house.
Representative Morris alleges sub-
stantislly the same complaints as Rep-
resentative Curry, but presents his
more In detail, and charges that the
attorney general, whom he names, has
"drawn sums of money from his con-
tingent expense account for such mat-
ters as shoe shines for 25 cents, tips
to porters, tips to waiters, cigars to
witnesses, laundry bills, fruit, news-
papers and varloua Items of smaller
Import."
Representative Morris' resolution
continues, that "the said Charles West
has drawn large sums of money from
his contingent expense account for se-
cret service work, without making any
Itemised account or advising to whom
he paid the money." and that the at-
torney general baa spent the sum of
"about $177,000" sines statshood.
State Treasurer Asks Full Probe
In a letter to the president of the
senate and the speaker of the house,
State Treasurer Robert Dunlop re
quested that a committee be appointed
from the two houses of the legislature
to investigate his office. Mr. Dunlop
states that a thorough examination of
his books be made and promises all
possible help to aid the work. He says
that It Is due to the people who elected
him to know whether or not he has
been true to the trust thst has been
Imposed in him.
More Money for Common Schools
More money will be used for com-
mon school purposes for the year 1913
than over before In the history of
| Oklahoma, according to the seml-an-
! nual apportionment Just completed by
the state treaaurer. With a school
population of 541.R90. the first half of
the school fund will be distributed on
the baais of $1.10 per capita. $1 of
which Is derived from the school land
department and 10 centa from the
state treaaury. During the year 1911
1 the apportionment was $1.50 for the
1 etftlre twslvs months.
Start Your Baby
With Sound Health
Regular Bowel Movement from
Childhood on Forestalls Future
Serious Diseases
We cannot all start life with the ad-
vantages of money, but- every child
born Is entitled to tho heritage of
good health. Through unfortunate ig-
norance or carelessness In the feeding
of a baby Its tiny stomach may bo-
come deranged. The disorder spreads
to the bowels and before the mother
realizes it the two chief organs on
which the Infant's comfort and health
depend are causing it great Buffering.
If the condition is allowed to continue
Erave ailments often result.
There is, however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do—
but it should be done instantly—is to
give the baby a email dose of a mild
laxative tonic. In the opinion of a
great many people, among them such
well-known persons as the parent* of
Dixie Dudley, Magnolia, Ark., the
proper remedy is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. Mrs. Earl Dudley writes: "Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best
medicine I ever used. It cured my
baby of flatulency colic when the doc-
tors failed; it cured my husband of
constipation. My home shall never
be without Syrup Pepsin." It is a
pleasant-tasting laxative, which every
person likes. It is mild, non-griping,
snd contains that most excellent of all
digestants, pepsin.
This remedy is especially Intended
for Infants, children, women, old peo-
ple and all others to whom harsh
cathartics, salt waters, pills, etc., are
distressing. In fact. In the common
disorders of life, such as constipation.
WHERE WE FIND EMERALDS
Famous Muzo Mines in the Republic
of Colombia Produce Finest
Gems.
The finest emeralds are found In
the Republic of Colombia, at the fa-
mous Muzo mines in the department
of Boyaca, seventy mileB north by
west of Bogota, which have been
worked since 1558. The Spaniards
mined there In the middle of the six-
tenth century, but withdrew after
a time, owing to continual fighting
with the Indians; with the result that
for awhile the locality of the mines
was unknown. They are now worked
by an English company, in partner-
ship with the government. The emer-
alds at Muzo occur in calclte veins
running through black carboniferous
limestone In all directions and at all
angles. Often the limestone Is cov-
ered with earth, in which bushes and
trees are growing; this has to be
cleared before prospecting is possible.
When calcite veins have been located,
the side of the hill 1b -dug away In
"banks," usually by Indians, whose
chief tool Is a steel bar forged to a
point at one end. The pieces of cal-
clte vein are examined superficially
for emeralds, and are then set aside
for conveyance to the sortlng-Bhed.
where a detailed examination Is made,
and the emeralds ate divided into fif-
teen grades according to color, trans-
parency, size,'freedom from flaws, and
ao on.
