"I liked my coffee strong and 1
drank it strong," says a Pennsylvania
woman, telling a good Btory, "and al-
though I had headaches nearly every
day I just would not believe there
was any connection between the twa
I had weak and heavy spells and pal-
- pitatIon of the heart, too, and al-
though husband told me he thought it
wss the coffee that made me so poor-
ly, and did not drink it himself for he
said it did not agree with him, yet I
loved my coffee and thought I just
couldn't do without it
"One day a friend called at my
home—that was a year ago. I spoke
shout how well she was looking and
she said:
•"Yes, snd I feel well, too. It's be-
cause 1 am drinking Postum in place
of ordinary coffee.'
1 said, 'What is Postum?*
"Then she told me how it was a
food-drink and how much better she
felt since using it In place of coffee or
tea, so I sent to the store and bought
a package and when it was made ac-
cording to directions it was so good
1 have never bought a pound of coffee
since. I began to improve immediate-
ly.
1 cannot begin to tell you how
stuch better I feel since using Postum
and leaving coffee alone. My health
1s better than it has been for years
and I cannot say enough in praise of
tills delicious food drink."

Oklahoma City.—The bill making
Oklahoma City the .capital of the state
of Oklahoma waa signed in Guthrie
Thursday evening by Governor Charles
N. Haskell. The bonus of $71,200 nec-
essary to defray all expenses incidept
to the removal of the capital from
Guthrie was raised at 6 o'clock Thurs-
day evening. Governor Haskety left
for Guthrie at 7:10 o'clock. There he
signed the various documents and
boarded the first train bound for Ok-
lahoma City, arriving here at 10:20
o'clock. _ ' v
The return of the governor was at-
tended by an impromptu celebration.
Whistles in all parts of the city were
blown to announce the glad tidings.
A large delegation of citizens was at
the train to meet the~returning chief
executive and the doaen or more state
officers who accompanied him here
from Guthrie.
Oklahoma City Is now finally and of-
ficially the state capital. The bill
signed Thursday night by the governor
settles the matter. The bill provides
for the acceptance of the northeast
site which lies south of Twenty-third
street and is intersected by Lincoln
boulevard.
The final acts of the governor and
the committee of citixens who have
been working to raise the $71,200 ex-
pense fund were enacted with whirl-
wind-like rapidity. Thursday after-
noon the committee had raised be-
tween $66,000 and $67,000 of the
amount required to defray the ex
penses of moving the state offices to
Oklahoma City, architects' fees, cap-
ital commission, office rent, etc. Late
in the afternoon a meeting was held
at the Lee-Hucklns hotel and a com-
pany to be known as the Capital Ex-
pense Committee was organized. Leon
Levy was elected president of this
committee, Sidney L. Brock vice-pres-
ident and S. C. Heyman secretary
treasurer. These, together with O. P.
Workman, C. P. Colcord and O. G. Lee,
form the board of directors.
When they had completed this or-
ganization the citixens' committee
went before Governor Haskell and of
fered to guarantee the remainder of
the necessary suirf. Governor Haskell
accepted their proposition. That was
shortly after 6 o'clock. Accompanied
by Attorney W. A. Ledbetter, Gov-
ernor Haskell Immediately left for
Guthrie where he attached his signa-
ture to the various Instruments. Upon
his return 10 Oklahoma City the gov
ernor signed the contract with the
officials of the Capital Expense com
tnlttee. Then he walked Into the ban
quet room of the Lee-Huckins where
the tSate Bar association was In ses-
sion and delivered a humorous address
just as If nothing of importanoo had
occurred.
The state offices will be moved to
Oklahoma City at once. The chamber
of commerce officials will begin early
Friday morning a search for suitable
quarters for the vsrious state depart
meats. As soon as soluble places
can be secured tor the ample protec-
tion of the state records, etc., the
last vestige of state property will be
moved from Guthrie.
CHIEF'S SON REAL LEADER
Durant Believes McCurtain Will Ad-
vise New Chief of Choctawa
Durant, Okla.—W. A. Durant, of this
city, speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives of the Choctaw nation, does
not anticipate that the death of Gov-
ernor Green McCurtain will seriously
affect the plans already laid for the
settlement of the affaire of the Choc-
taw tribe. George W. Choate of Indi-
anola, Okla., president of the senate,
will succeed to the chief executive po-
sition of the Choctaw nation.
In speaking of the probable effect of
the succession of Mr. Choate Friday
Mr. Durant said: "D. C. McCurtain, son
of the deceased governor, is general
attorney for the Choctaw nation, and
has matters well in hand. In the past
few years Governor McCurtain was in-
fluenced largely by his son's advice
concerning matters affecting Indian
affairs. There is a thorough under-
standing between the new governor
and the general attorney, and 1 antici-
pate Governor Choate will be guided
largely by the advice of Attorney Mc-
Curtain.
"In fact all the prominent men in
the entire Choctaw nation are making
every effort to secure a speedy settle-
ment of all tribal affairs, including the
proper disposal of all the undivided
property.
"Governor Choate is an elderly gen-
tleman and stands well among his peo-
ple.
"Since the advent Of statehood the
position of governor of the Choctaw
nation has not been as Important a po-
sition as it was previously. The gov-
ernor must sign the deeds in the trans-
fer of property from the tribe to pri-
vate parties, recommend transfers and
suggest needed legislation touching In
dian affairs. When the tribal govern
ment was discontinued, the then act
Ing governor was continued in office
to administer such affaire aa might
need bis attention.
Governor McCurtaln's death causes
universal regret throughout all the In-
dian nations. He was held in high es-
teem by all who knew him."
Mr. Durant was unable to attend the
funeral of Governor McCurtain owing
to the fact that he is Just recovering
from a alight attack of la grippe.
