The Heaviest Cost Individually Will I
Fall on the Pupils of the Seventh
Grade, Whose Total Membership
Will Exceed 35,000
GUTHRIE: According to figures
compiled by Assistant State School
Superintendent Wilkinson, the adop-
tion of the text hoiks ratified by the
text book commission will cost the
school children of Oklahoma approxi-
mately $225,000, about $1,G00 to the
county, or $16 to the district.
Figured on the ratio of an actual
individual price the cost to the school
children In the 12 grades of the com-
mon aud high school' branches 'is
$730,000, but at least one-third may
be accounted for in the changes that
would be necessary In any event. Fif-
ty per cent is allowed on exchange
and allowing reductions for this, the
aggregate amount would not total
over a quarter of a million, it is dp-
iieved. There are approximately cue-
half million school children in ahe
state, but only 360,000 are enrolled.
An interesting table of figures got-
ten up by Mr. Wilkinson shows the
proportionate to the cost of the pupils
in the different grades, ranging from
$30,000 to the pupils in the beginners'
class, estimateing the cost to indi-
viduals, at 50 cents, to $2,500 for the
12th grade students, whose separate
expense is figured at $5 but numbers
estimated at only 500. According to
the table the heaviest cost will fall
on the pupils in the seventh grade,
who wiLl number $5,000, and whom
the new books will cost about $3.50
each. The sixth grade is second with
an estimated cost of $220,000. and
the eighth and fifth grades third, with
$100,000,
Beyond Expression.
G. W. Farlowe, East Florence, Ala.,
writes: “For ueafiy seven years 1
was afflicted with a form of skin dis-
ease which caused an almost unbear-
able itching. 1 could neither worn,
rest or sleep In peace. Nothing gave
me permanent relief until I tried Hunt's
Cure. One application relieved me;
one box cured me, and though a year
has passed, I have stayed cured. 1 am
grateful beyond expression.”
Hunt’s Cure is a guaranteed remedy
for all itching diseases of the skin.

Disposing of “Adam’s Special" Not
Against Prohibitory Law
CHICKASHA: Judge Williams ad
the Grady county court has given his
final decision in the case of the state
against R. F. Hollaway, charged with
violating the prohibitory law by sell-
ing “Adam’s special” in faavor of
the defendant!.
Hollaway Is the state agent for the
Rochester Brewing company of Kan-
sas City, the manufacturers of the
preparation. Judge Williams heard
the evidence In the case and in ren-
dering his opinion says: "I can not
see how the laws of the state of Ok-
lahoma can prohibit the sale of this
preparation, as it is a Don-intoxicat-
ing drink and does not contain more
alcohol than the law allows.”
The most important of all is the
education of the will.—F. W. Farrar.

Eugene Lansbury, a well known
horseman has closed a deal with the
owners of the race track of the Mus-

The
General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com-
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, j
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex- :
cellent combination of Syrup of Fig3 and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup \
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark-
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine—manufactured by the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by a!! leading druggists. Price fifty eenta
oer bottle.

clothes that all ladies
desire and should ob-
tain. It is the delight
of the experienced
laundress. Once tried
they will use no other. It is pure and
is guaranteed not to injure the most
delicate fabric. -It is sold by the
best grocers at toe a package. Each
package contains 16 ounces. Other
starches, not nearly so good, sell at
the same price per package, but they contain only 12 ounces of starch.
Consult your own interests. Ask for DEFIANCE STARCH, get it, and we
know you will never use any other.
