NEW STATE NOTES
Four children of M. C. Palmer, a
farmer near Newby, Okla., were
burned to death in their beJs. The
house caught Are from a prairie fire.
Palmer, his wife and one son escap-
ed, the parents being forced to flee
beforo they could rescue their chil-
dren.
Governor Haskell signed Durant's
bill appropriating $26,000 additional
for legislative expenses, the last bill
introduced in the legislature. Other
bills signed legalize the incorporation
of Hollis, In Greer county and Buf-
falo in Harper county an.l an $18,-
000 bond election at Watonga. The
attorney general had previously at-
tested to the doubtful constitutional-
ity of the last bill.
turn about fair play.
But Somehow Mrs. Newlywed Couldn't
See the Point.
A young friend of mine, a Jolly, con-
vivial sort of a chap, got married re-
cently, and at the end of the first
week, upon receiving his salary of $20,
he went home, gave bis wife $18, and
kept two for himself.
Of course, she thought that was love-
ly, but to her astonishment at the
end of the second week he handed her
only two dollars, keeping $20 for him-
self.
"Now, see here, John," she said, in-
dignantly, "how do you suppose 1 am
going to manage on two dollars a
week?"
"I don't know, I am sure, my
dear," he answered, sweetly. "I had
a terrible time of it last week, my-
self."
Gee, but wasn't he the mean old
thing!—Seattle Argus.
Sheriff Sneed, of Jackson county,
Kansas, was at the penitentiary door
at McAlester when Selden S. Loririg,
alias W. R. King, was released on the
completion of his sentence for for-
gery, and took him back to Olathe,
Kan., to answer a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. Gover-
nor Haskell had issued his warrant
on the requisition of the Kansas gov-
ernor. Loring is a physician.
Governor Haskell has signed the
Anthony general revenue and taxa-
tion bill. The measure combines
within itself a complete code of rev-
enue and taxation laws which in the
past Ijave been scattered through a
dozen years of territorial statutes
and often conflicting one part with an
other. The Anthony bill makes state
taxes due October 15 and delinquent
February 13. All taxes become due
at onCe. This is the most important
change made by the new law. Under
the old laws taxes were payable >i
two installments.
EXPERT ADVICE.
Butler—Pardon this Interruption,
but there is a deputation of unem-
ployed waiting for you at the door.
His Excellency—Tell the people to
go home quietly. (Drains a glass of
champagne.) People in this world can
get on very well without work—at
least I find it so.

Disease Cured by Cuticura.
"My six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called •hives for two
months. She became afTected by play-
ing with children who had it. By
scratching she caused large sores
which were irritating.' Her body was
a complete sore but it was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but it did
not help her and I tried several reme-
dies but without avail. Seeing the
Cuticura Remedies advertised, I
thought I would try them. I gave her
a hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap
and anointed her body with Cuticura
Ointment. The first treatment re-
lieved the itching and in a short time
the disease disappeared. Mrs. George

Sha Had Tested the Oyster.
Dora, the pet of the household, was
very fond of oysters, and after eating
her lunch of oysters and crackers she
thought of her dear mother busy at her
sewing machine. She selected a nice
large oyster, put it in a plate and car-
ried it to her mother, who, pleased
with her little daughter's thoughtful-
ness, ate the oyster and said:
"It is most as good as my little
girlie."
"Yes," answered Dora. "I know it is
good 'cause I licked it all the way from
the kitchen."—The Delineator.
One of the Important Duties of Physicians and
the Well-informed of the World
is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur-
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its prpduct.has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc-
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
it^f recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
qpthat end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
'as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may l>c invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed.because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac-
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of—
Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Weil-Informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Flixir of
Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company — California Fig Syrup Co.—
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name —Syrup of Figs — which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States, in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C., that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.

want to protect your home, you can do it by installing a telephone.

••How to Build Rural Telephone Lines"
This Bulletin explains clcarly how a rural telephone system is built
and operated, and it also contains full information as to costs.
In a Farmer's Mutual Company a few day's labor and a cash
Investment of about $25. per subscriber, will purchase all material
and build an absolutely standard system.
A Rural Telephone is an investment, not an expense. The
telephone which enables you to sell ten baits of cotton at % cent per
pound more than the traveling buyer offers you, has paid for its en-
tire cost. If you have some hay down all ready to go in, it is worth
something to have a telephone with which to call on Neighbor Smith "for a lift' before the storm breaks.
The Rural Telephone pays for Itself each year and we have brought the initial cost within the
reach of every farmer. Present prices arc especially favorable and thousands of Farmers' Mutual Com-
panies are now organizing so as to build their lines this Spring. Write us to-day a
