A LIVE BUSINESS
Henninger & Co. Bottling Works
to Branch Out. Doses Big
Bus'noAc With other Towns
The Henningor and Co. Bot-
tling Works has begun to shapo
itself up for business in a way
that bids fair to extend its trade
all ovor the southwest Tlo
4 compuny has toe sovoral seasons
been engaged in the bottling and
salo of carbonated drinks; now
it has added tbs manufacture
and wholesale selling of bluing
and extraots to its business and
in a'ehort timo will put its own
make of perfumes on the mar-
ket. The Democrat yostorday got
out 5000 labels for liquid wash-
ing blue that is being put up by
Henningor and Co.. for looal
trudo. They will do a general
wholesale business in this line
putting a man on the road to
plaoe this first installment in the
nearby towns. Thoy figure that
with their superior article furn-
ished at lower comparative cost
they wi'l have no difficulty in
building up a trade that will
moan something to them and to
Anadarko as well.
Tho preparation of extraots in
another line in which Honnidger
and Co. are reaohing out. The
Democrat man was shown a lem-
on extract yesterday that any
housowifo in town would pro-
.nounco bettor than any she has
ever seen before. Tho pure food
law must now be considered in
the making of all such prepa-
rations but in this oase tho ex-
tract wasreparod with a view
not only of coming within the
law but of boing made as gocd as
it could be besides. Tho oxtruot
is oomposed of oil of lemon glyc-
erin and alcohol and the best
oil of lemon oomes from Paris at
28 per 5-pound paokage the
French government seals hevor
being brokon until the package
reaoheB Anadarko. A Iobo ex-
pensive oil is brought from South
America. Tho French oil iB not
ueod in tho retail qxtract trade
as tho exlraot is necessarily so
expensive that tho frugal matron
will pass it up every timo for tho
inferior grade. But Honninger
and Co. use this finer kind for
flavoring thoir lemon pop; and
indoed. thoy use nono but the
boat of everything in making
thoir carbonated drinkB.
The vanila extract is based up-
on the vanila bean which is it-
self rather expensive. Think of
paying S25 per pound for them
as you must for tho bost import-
ed from South America. Those
raised in Mexico can bo had at
S15 per pound and tho Haiti and
Australia grown bean aro to bo
had at still lowor prices. Tho
company makes 18 different ex-
traots but not yot fully prepared
to pit thoir product info tho
' market. When the bottles or-
dered Borne six weoka ago arrived
then you will begin to see thoir
extraots on all the grooery shelves;
Henninger & Co. at presont
are doing most of their business
ill the making and handling of
oorbonated drinks. Thoy make
18 kinds besides handling fruit
ciders und a-o doing a rushing
business. .While tho writer was
there thoy were getting out a
consignment of 5000 bottles for a
retailor at Apaohowho wishes to
be sure of having hia supply on
hand for the Apaohe Fourth
celebration. They have kept
some aooount of their labels and
find that so far this season they
have used something like 18000
of strawberry and lemon alone
The noxt stop in tho growth of
tho business is tho manufaoturo
ofporfumes. Thoy havo a.roady
mado their plans in this direc-
tion and every day brings tho
realization ot them 24 hours near-
er. v
Anadarko is fortunate in having
suoh a live buBinoea that ie ag-
gressive and rbsourooful und
am! i lous to grow in these vari-
ous linds. Wo wish for Honning-
er and Co. succoby ii. all these
undertakings because wo know
that this success will benefit
Anadarko us well as it will the
firm.

ANOTHER BRICK
Jeff Ford is The Last Victim to

On C Street
Anadarko Is to have another

one to bo on tho south sido of tho
street near the' middle of tho
blook. Jeff Ford has purchased
the Dillard Mills lot two doors
ast of the Baird confectionary
Company and will have a sub-
stantial business house two
stories and a basement erected
thereon beforo Christmas. Mr.
Ford's business has grown so
that his prosent location will np
longer accomodate it.
Mr. Ford will spend something
like S80C0 to 810000 before he is
through but hia business is a
good ono and he oannot afford
to be cramped
It is a good town whore an
aotivo business man can go into
jlebt and within two years bo far
enough ahead to undertake a
proposition like this. Incidental-
ly it speaks well for the business
sagaoity of tho man who has
achieved suoh suooess. '

FOOD PRICES
STILL GO UP
In a Year the Cost of All has
Advanced 10 to 50 per
Cent
Hardly an item in tho list Of
food Btuffs or fancy grooories has
not increased in prioo from 10 to
50 por oont compared with this
timo iast year grocers Bay.
Tho baokward seaBon is respon-
sible for tho increase in groen
vegetables and incroasod cost of
paoking has added to the price
of oannod stuff.
Tn tho lino of staples flour has
gono.up SI a barrel duo to tho
recont rise in wheat. Sugar has
incroasod forty and fifty conts a
hundred pounds. Groen coffoo
has advanced 10 por cent and
roasted coffees 10 and 15 cent.
There n no appreciablo advance
in ia. Rice due to inoreased
consumption dealers say has
cone up SI a hundred weight and
navy beans have inoreased fifty
.cents a bushel. Meats rocontly
advanoed on an average of 20
por pent. This was caused tho
butohors say by tho decision of
paokers to buy no more cows and
heifers except subject to post-
mortem oxamination.with no pay
for tho seller it the carcasses are
condemned.
Canned goodB without excep
tion have advanced in price from
JO to 15 per cent. Tinsoldor and
boxing cost more and the differ-
ent varieties of fruit and vegeta
bles for canning have inoreased in
price booauBe of the prospects of
a short crop and a large demand
Grocerymen and wholesale deal-
ers say that stocks of canned
goods will bo left very low before
the new crops coaio in next sea-
son. Dried fruits Buch aB rasins
prunes aprioots pears and
peaches have gone oven higher
than canned fruits. Tho advance
in these is from 25 to 30 per cent.
Fanoy grooories suoh as ear
dines and mushrooms have gone
up 50 per cent. Olives went up
about 50 por cent last year and
are still at about tho same price
as thon 50 to 75 sonts a quart.
Butter and eggs are just about
tho same as a year ao. Cream-
ery buUor ia now thirty centB a
pound and good country grades
aro twenty-three cents. Guar-
anteed eggs sell at Ufo dozen for
thirlyfive cents and others fif
teen cents two for a quarter.
"Two things have combined to
make grocery prices advance"
a retailer said yesterday. 4Ono
is the pure food law tho other
tho weather. While many foods
aro etill adulterated and so
branded others aro now abso
lutely pure and consequently
higher in prioe than beforo.when
many of them were adulterated.
Tho backward Reason will mako
all crops short."

SAYS SHE
RomarkbIe Experience of Eula
Wilson. Dead; Yet She
Lived.
Vo die and return to lifo and
gruphioly relate her experience
in another world is the interest-
ing and almost uncanny talo told
by Eula Wilson the fiftoen-yoar
old daughter of Baily Wilson
1220 Cleveland avonuo.
For tho past throe years sho
has been an invalid treated by
many local doctors with varying
diagnoses. Last Friday she was
given up by frionds and parents
to die. Saturday sho emerged
from her doath-liko stato and for
tho first timo in sovoral months
was able to walk and to take
nourishment. It was reported
sho had beon raisod from tho
dead. An Kuglo reprosontativo
called at the residenco last night
and tho girl mado tho following
statement:
"I had boen very sick sincotho
middle of December. Nine dif-
ferent dootorB treated mq during
that time tut nono could give
relief or oven tell what was the
matter. Last Wednesday I bo-
came much worse my head ach-
ed and it seemed- decomposition
was salting in. Tho doctor said
I could not possibly live until
sundown. . t
'.. "Idied at 8 o'olook Wednes
day night I was thoroughly
conscious of an ascending motion
and was borne to heaven in a
white oloud attended by two
angels and my dead brother. The
Lord oponed the gatea. Inside
was a running stream from
whioh the Lord budo me drink.
I ate of tho fruit but there were
no pits in them. All heaven was
a dazzling light. There was no
earth there and the ground was
of gold. The angola wore all
white and wore wings and went
barefooted. No I can't doscribo
the Lord. He was too grand.
He had the most beautiful blue
eyes and tho. noblest expression
conoeiveablo. . He had longhair
but differed from the angles in
that ho had no wings. I met and
talked with people who had died
whon we lived in Missouri.
"Most of the angels aro child-
ren and there is lots of room for
more."
When asked the reason sho
was returned to earth the girl re
plied that tho Lord sent her baok
to sayo souls.
At this point Mrs. Wilson said :
"Eula died at 8 p. m. Wednes-
day. She ' had boen having
violent convulsions all day and
tho doctor predicted eho would
not livo through tho night. Sho
was aotually dead. It was im-
possible to detect tho pulso or
breathing and all death tests wo
knew confirmed the fact. Wo
set about at once preparing for
the funeral as the condition of
her body demanded speedy in
terment. Tcour great astonish
ment at two o'clock Thursday
morning life returned and sho
remained in a seuri-consoiouB
condition dying again Friday
night Saturday about 10 a m.
she revived and oalled Jto mo I
gave hor a drink and sho arose
from tho bod and walked aoross
the room curod of all disease"
Tho neighborhood iB astounded
at tho inoident. Thoy have
known tho girl to havo been an
invalid whom they expected to
dio at any time for the past six
months and to seo tho trans
formation of three days and to
