On Feb. 23 the Citizens Protec-
tive League of Oklahoma was or-
ganized and chartered for the
purpose of conducting an investi-
gation, study and learning of the
methods of adminstration of the
business and affairs of the various
governments of Oklahoma, the ap-

and in fact are free to do almost and efficient methods of adminis
anything they care to do. These tering and continuing such busi-
things show that we are getting ness and affairs; and informing
out of old ruts, breaking away
from customs—are beginning to
move onward, we hope, to a better
and nobler life.
These changes are effected by
men and women who have the
courage to pay the penalty of in-
dependence. the charge of being
cranks, demagogues, and disturb-
ers—and so came the abolition of
chattel slavery, serfs, women and
every other forward turn of the
car of progress—but mainly
through the brave independent
initiative of the masses.
There are still millions among
the masses which are absolute
•laves to custom. They are con-
its members of their rights and
interests as taxpayers and citi
zens.
We do not know much of the
prime movers of this league nor
of the sincerety of their actions,
but we do know that before them
lies a verdant field for labor.
The secretary, 0. 1'. Workman,
states that the work of the Citi-
zens Protective League will takt
three forms as follows:
"First, the investigation of pre-
sent laws and practices respecting
taxation, the adminstration of the
public business and the expendi-

A MEASURE OF MERIT
Cordell Citizens Should Weigh
Well This Evidence.
Proof of merit lies in the evi-
dence. Convincing evidence in
Cordell. Is not the testimony of
strangers, but the endorsement of
Cordell people. That's the kind
of proof given here—the state-
ment of a Cordell citizen.
Mrs. J. D. Harris, Cordell, Okla.,
says: "Some time ago I had an
attack of backache so severe I
hardly knew what to do. It seem-
ed as though my back were all an

We pay for all the medicine
used during the trial, if our rem-
edy fails to completely relieve you
of constipation. We take all the
risk. You are not oblidged to us
in any way whatever, if you ac-
cept our offer. That's a mighty
broad statement, but we mean ev-
ery word of it. Could anything
be more fair to you?
A most scientfic, common-sense
treatment is Rexall Orderlies,
which are eaten like candy. Their
active principle is a recent scien-
tific discovery that is odorless,
colorless and tasteless; very pro-
nounced, gentle and pleasant in
action, and particularly agreeable
in every way. This ingredient
does not causc diarrhoea, nausea,
flatulence, griping or other in-
convenience. Rexall Orderlies
are particularly good for child-
ren, aged and delicate persons.
