writes:
“I suffered with
catarrh of the bron-
chial tubes and had
a terrible cough ever
since a child
"I would sit ut In
bed with pillows
propped up behind
me but still the
cough would not let
me sleep I thought
and everybody else
that I had consump-
tion 1
“So reading the
papers about re-
run a I decided to
try without the
least bit of hope that
it would do me any
good But after tak-
I noticed a change
My appetite got better so I kept on
never discouraged Finally I seemed
not to cough so much and the pains In
my chest got better and I could rest &t
night
“I am well now and cured of a chronlo
cough and sore throat I cannot tell
you how grateful I am and I cannot
thank Peruna enough It has cured
where doctors have failed and I talk
Peruna wherever I go recommend It to
everybody People who think they
have consumption better give It a
trial”

“This custom alas! sometimes led
to Imposture Thus Thirsty O’Grady

once and O’Grady was assigned to
act the corpse So they laid him on
a bier outside the door and they upt
a pewter plate beside him for the
pennies
“As O’Grady lay there so still with
closed eyes an 1 old woman stopped
and dropped sixpence Into the plate
Then 6he began to take out change
A penny tuppence threepence she

A well-known educator of Boston
found a why to keep the brain and
the body in that harmonious co-operation
which makes a joy of living
“Two years ago” she writes “being
In a condition of nervous exhaustion
1 resigned my position as teacher
which I had held for over 40 years
Since then the entire rest has of
course been a benefit hut the use of
Grape-Nuts has removed one great
cause of illness in the past namely
constipation atad its attendant evils
“I generally make my entire break-
fast on a raw egg beaten into four
spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with a little
hot milk or hot water added I like
it extremely my food assimilates and
my bowels take care of -themselves
I find my brain power and physical
endurance much greater and I know
that the use of the Grape-Nuts has
contributed largely to this result

Read the little book “The Road to

son” Ever read the above letter? A neve
one appear from time to time They
are genuine true and full of human
Interest
Insisting on economy in appropria-
tions both for maintenance and build-
ings and urging that the state’s expen-
ditures be kept within its income Gov-
emor Cruce submitted to the legisla-
ture February 2 the estimates of ap-
propriations desired by the - various
Btate departments and institutions as
submitted to him by their heads aggre-
gating for the biennium $870845431
In his message the governor stated
that these estimates do not in most
cases inclde the buildings asked from
the legislature at this session
The ' governor’s recommendations
legislature to make its appropriations
In accordance with these estimates
hut on the contrary he urges that ap-
propriations be held down to the low-
est possible point stating that the re-
sult can be foreseen readily If the state
continues to spend $4000000 or $5000j-
000 each year when its income is only
$3000000
The budget submitted which does
not Include the text book commission
code commission district Judges or dis-
trict court stenographers includes
$530470834 for 1912 and $304531634
with enough asked for deficiency ap-
propriations to make -the total $8708-
45431 In the same connection the
governor shows that the state’s total
income for the past year was $3090-
00981 inclding $79358 insurance re-
ceived' from burned buildings and
$498000 from the sale of public build-
ing warrants while there are $2320-
62066 of state warrants registered and
now outstanding which must be paid
from the general revenue fund and
taken Into consideration by the legisla-
ture Strong Recommendations
The governor’s reccommendations
on public building appropriations are
partjpularly strong' He declares that
only the most pointed necessity can
justify further building appropris’tons
at this time In view of the fact that
there are now building bills amount-
ing to $44887578 still unpaid and no
funds with which to meet them- It Is
asserted that by reason of this con-
dition contractors ’ must necessarily
make their prices higher to the state
than for other work and that It would
be wlsfr to delay until the state had
the money to erect its buildings along
business lines
The message also states that the
amount asked for maintenance of the
various state shools is $2231290
which of itself would require a levy of
more than one mill on the entire taxa-
ble valuation of the state He again
advocates the placing of all of these
schools under the control of one board
stating that the same degree of efllcien
cy could be maintained at 25 per cent
les3 expense under such a system
County Division Bill
The house of representatives passed
the senate county division bill but
made radical changes In it Instead of
repealing the county cutting statutes
ihe house amended existing laws so
tlons "rtvcutting could continue but
petition to original stringent condi-
movement In the future iRSte cent
per cent as at present It will require
60 per cent of the vote of each portion
of counties Involved Instead of 60 per
cent of the whole territory to be suc-
cessful the governor Is to appoint
ipecial election commissioners for each
precinct who shall be from outside
the affected territory
METHODS ARE TO BE CHANGED
Legislative Appropriations Are to Be
Handled Differently
The house appropriations committee
Mr Crawford of Pontotoc chairman
has begun the important work of re-
modeling entirely the legislative meth-
ods of handling appropriation bills
‘ In the past the method has been U
report out one general appropriation
bill carrying the expense of the state
government proper and then each In-
dividual member of set of members
fought out individually the question of
appropriations for state institutions in
his district and often as many as fifty
appropriation bills would be passed
The house appropriations committee
has decided to change this and to
bunch everything in two general bills
The first will carry all the expense ap-
propriations of the state government
including salaries of officers conting-
ent expenses maintenance etc also
all- maintenance and expense appro-
priations for the state institutions
The second bill will include all the
building appropriations etc
It is hoped by this method to savr
from $250000 to $500000
SPECIAL SESSION LEGALIZED
Such Is Purpose of Joint Resolution
by Senator Wynne
Oklahoma City — For the purpose of
removing any technical questions In
regard to the work of the special ses-
sion of the legislature at which the
capital location bill was passed a joint
resolution was introduced in the senate
February 1 by Senator Wynne The
resolution is brief and reads as fol-
lows: “All procedure had and all acts per-
formed by the third legislature of the
state of Oklahoma convened at Okla-
homa City on November 28 1910 are
hereby legalized and validated"
Senator Wynne stated that It was
doubtful whether this resolution would
have any effect as against contentions
raised and suits already brought but
that If adopted It would serve to pre-
vent the raising of further technical
objections to the work of that session
either In suits now pending or to be
brought
Contests Settled
The house committee on privileges
and elections disposed of two of the
four contests in the lower house Rec-
ommendations of dismissal were made
in both the Oklahoma and Swanson
county contests George L Zink re-
publican was contesting Representa-
tive J V McClintic of Swanson dem-
ocrat W D Thompson democrat
was contesting Representative C H
DeFord republican of Oklahoma
The contests against Representative
George W Smith of Adair democrat
by Ell H Whitmire republican and
against Representative George E Clay
ton of Logan democrat by A C Ham-
lid negro republican both went over
until February 13 and 14
The reason for recommending dis-
missal of the Oklahoma and Swanson
county cases was the contestants did
not present any evidence to confirm
their charges
Chairman Breedlove of the commit-
tee on privileges and elections had the
house pass a resolution authorizing his
committee to summon witnesses etc
and appropriating $500 from the house
contingent fund to be used in paying
stenographic and witness fees In the
Logan and Adair county cases

Now that we have entered upon the
making of a new year it is natural

the purpose of ascertaining what has
been done The business man - and

tail and Interest know exactly their

into the farseeing thriftiness of my
people” once observed an American

of a Scotch woman who had been
promised a new bonnet by a lady Be-
fore she undertook the purchase the
lady called and asked the good wo-
man: “ ‘Would you rather have a felt or a
straw bonnet Mrs Carmichael?’
“ ‘Weel’ responded Mrs Carmichael
thoughtfully ‘I think I’ll tak’ a strae
ane It’ll maybe a mouthfu’ to the coo
when I’m done wi’ it’ " — LIppincott’s
