Names On Ballot By Rotation Plan.
Secretary Ben W. Riley of the state
Election board says that the provisions
of the new election law, providing a
system or roiauon tor me placing of
names of candidates on the ballot for
the August primary would be followed
to the letter. Circular letters are now
being sent out from his office to the
expiration pardons with full rights of
citizenship by Governor Cruce. Mc-
Brine was sentenced from Oklahoma
county to one year in the penitentiary
having pleaded guilty to forgery, and
with time allowances his term ex-
pired May 16.
The McBrine case attracted wide
attention as It was estimated that
$30,000 of illegal warrants were is-
sued by him. McBrine went to Eu-
rope and spent money freely in Paris
and other large cities. He returned
j later and held a number of confer-
lection officers in the various coun
ties, calling their attention to that J enees with Attorney General West,
whom he promised, to give evidence
provision of the law and directing
them to act accordingly in the prep-
aration of ballots for the August pri-
mary.
The impression has existed among
candidates in some parts of the state
that the old system of alphabetical
arrangement would be followed. This
idea is groundless, according to Mr.
Riley.
''Everx. candidate, no matter wheth-
er his name begins with the first or
last letter in the alphabet will have
equal advantage so far as position on
the ballot is concerned," said Mr.
Riley.

Important Personal Injury Decision.
The important ruling that an ad-
ministrator of an estate may main-
tain an action to recover damages on
the part of a person who had brought
suit for personal injuries under the
fellow servant law but who died pend-
ing determination of the suit, was
made by Judge Brewer in an opinion
of the supreme court. The case is

White Man Can't Sell Land.
A white man who Inherited allotted
lands from his fullblood Osage Indian
wife cannot sell the property fcr the
reason that the restrictions run with
the land, was the holding of the Ok-
lahoma supreme court in affirming
the judgment of the district court of
Osage county in the case of the Le-
vindale Lead and Zinc Mining Com-
pany et al., vs. Charles Coleman.
The opinion is by Justice Kane.
Coleman, a white man, married a full
blood Indian woman. A son was
born to them, who died a few hours
after birth and the following day the
mother also passed away. None of
them ever secured certificates of com-
petency. The act of congress placing
restrictions is interpreted to mean
that the restrictions run with the
property, which disqualified the white
heir as well as the Indian allottee
from alienating the land.

When you first start cotton plowing

Glow of Health Speaks for Postum.
It requires no scientific training to
discover whether coffee disagrees or
not.
Simply stop it for a time and use
Postum in place of it, then note the
beneficial effects. The truth will ap-
pear.
"Six years ago I was in a very bad
condition," writes a Tenn. lady. "I
suffered from indigestion, nervous-
ness and insomnia.
"I was then an inveterate coffee
drinker, but it was long before I could
be persuaded that it was coffee that
hurt me. Finally I decided to leave it
off a few days and find out the truth.
"The first morning I left off coffee
I had a raging headache, so I decided
I must have something to take the
place of coffee." (The headache was
caused by the reaction of the coffee
drug—caffeine.)
"Having heard of Postum through a
friend who used it, I bought a package
and tried It. I did not like it at first
but after I learned how to make it
right, according to directions on pkg.,
I would not change back to coffee for
anything.
"When I began to use Postum I
weighed only 117 lbs. Now I weigh
170 and as I have not taken any tonic
In that time I can only attribute my
present good health to the use of Pos-
tum in place of coffee.

vertisement for Postum."

Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum — must be well
boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum—Is a soluble pow-
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in a cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious bever-
age Instantly 30c and BOc tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds is
about the same.
