Hie Money.
Oklahoma City.—Jackson Barnett,
millionaire Creek Indian of Henryetta,
wants to slip silently out of this life
when shades beckon him to the great
forest When tom toms rattle their
death dirge, he does not want a dis-
cordant note from contenders tor his
millions. This Is why he has made
such huge donations to charitable and
philanthropic appeals during the past
year.
In broken English, Barnett told
Commissioner Cato Sells how with the
light of good deeds done in the flesh
he hopes to dispel the darkness on
the way to spirit land.
With property in exe'ess of $8,000,-
000, Jackson is alone in the world at
the age of 70 years, but the federal
government supervises the spending
of it. Sells came from Washington to
investigate the Indian’s gifts and to
determine If the old man Is being im-
posed on. Whether he will permit
Jackson to proceed with his plan for
distribution, Sells would not my.
Donation made recently by Jaek-
son Included $200,000 to the Baptist
general campaign fund, of which de-
nomination he Is a member; $25,000
to his church, $25,000 to an orphanage,
and $60,000 to other churches. He is
mid to have purchased nearly $1,000,-
000 worth of Liberty bonds.

nt, is Just one of the many thousands of ladles
throughout the country who, after an agony of
years, have at last found health, strength and
ylgor In PE-RU-NA.
Her own words tell of her suffering and recovery I
better than we can do it:    ”1 suffered with my
etomach, had awful cramps and headaches so I
often could not lay on a pillow. Saw your book,
tried PE-RU-NA and got good results from the
first bottle. To be sure of a cure I took twelve
bottles. I have recommended PE-RU-NA to my
friends and all are well pleased with results. I
will not be one day without PE-RU-NA, Have not
had a doctor since I started with PE-RU-NA, which
was about fifteen years ago. I am now sixty-three
years old, hale, hearty and welL Can do as much
work as my daughters. I /feel strong and healthy
and weigh near two hundred pounds. Before, I MR_ UABY bricks
weighed as little as one hundred. I hope lots of
people use PE-RU-NA and get the results I did.” An experl«nce Ilka
that of Mrs. Fricke is an inspiration to every sick and Buffering
woman.
If you have catarrh, whether It be of the nose, throat, stomach*
bowels, or other organs, PE-RU-NA Is the remedy. It Is not new;

Fortunate Purchasers Profited by the
Dismantling ef Government-
Bullt Munition Plants.
To select a dwelling from a large
stock of samples, buy it “It over the
counter" at a bargain price, and then
pack It on a motortruck to be sent
home, Is a novel solution of the house-
hunting problem, says Popular Mechan-
ics Magazine. That is literally what
has been happening recently, however,
in a number of communities where
munition-plant housing facilities are
being dismantled by the government.
All the purchaser needs Is a vacant
lot, of course, and a foundation for his
new home.
Near Cincinnati more than 200 four-
room houses were sold In two days at
the remarkable price of $200 each,
their original cost to the government
having been over $1,500. Purchasers
of these houses haoc traen able to get
concrete block foundations built for
an average price of $223. and to secure
truck and trailer delivery within five
miles for $120, making a total cost
of $563 for a well-built home.

8he Was a Peach.
Three-year-old Mary Ellen demands
a reason for everything and some ot
the reasons are mother’s sudden Inspi-
rations. Sometimes she passes them
on to other children. The other after-
noon a group of children was talking
to the wee miss, all giving her that
sort of confection known as “taffy.”
Mary Ellen ate it with u relish. Sud-
denly she turned to the child nearest
her, “Do you think I’m pretty? Don’t
you think I’m sweet?” she asked.
He aswered in the affirmative.
"Well,” she smiled sweetly, "my
mamma found me In a peach basket/0
Two or three of the children giggled
but twelve-year-old Arthur sprang gal-
lantly to the rescue. "No wonder
you’re such a little peach," he re-
turned.
Magnanimous Conduct.
"You call yourself a public-spirited
citizen?”
"I do, sir," replied the fussy little
man.
"On what ground?”
“I’ll give you au example of my
public spirit. Last night at a fire some
firemen turned a hose on me. Did I
get mad? Did I threaten to sue the
city or break somebody’s head? I did
not, air. I shook myself and said:
‘Don’t apologize, boys, I‘ know you
didn’t mean It. Resume your battle
with the flames and think no more
about It I’ ”
Quito Justified.
“I know a man who delights In brlng-
Ing n blush to people's cheeks.”
“And do people nllow It?”
"Of course they do. They go to him
to buy their rouge.”
