There I* som Indication of Improvement In the oil situation. The
agitation for a government owned pipe line, and the addltonal effort to
make the* lines of monopoly common carrier* Indicate that tome good
fruit ha* been prepared for tb' harveat. Tbe speech of Senator Owen,
who said that thia atate bad paid an unrlghteoua tribute to thoae who bad
control of the pipeline facllltlea, la an eye-opener to many acoffera at the
fight to establish carrier market* and to make the production and trans-
portation wholly aeparate enterprises
Tbe oil fight la old—aa old aa that time when the Standard gobbled
the output and the flcilitlea to handle oil. There have been many time*
when tbe gobbling (indicate teemed to have everything It desired, and yet
It spread It* tentacle* until they loomed over tbe bu*lne«* of a thousand
line* of commerce, and wherever that blighting hand touched, there tbe
man engaged illegitimate commerce was nude to become a dependent or
driven from his chosen field of enterprise. With the mighty power of con-
centrated wealth, more powerful then even than now, a syndicate was al-
lowed to establish itself and become so rich, lu tentacles not being ham-
pered by rc-ason of national boundary lines, until in the end It became a
menace to organized society and a peril to the nation in which it was
founded. Oklahoma being the great oil producing state, has suffered more
than its share at tbe hands of monoply. It is sheer nonsense to deceive
ourselves with the idea that we have not paid a heavy toll—there is tbe
single Item of our millions and millions of barrels of crude gone and sent
onto a market were tbe producer had not the shadow of a quiet look for
other than wbat the old bog wanted him to have.
There seems to be a new light In tbe skies above the oil field. There
may be at lea*t *ome relief and tere comes to tbo*e who have waited so
long a hope that I* good to possess. But nothing short ot the Iron rod of
public opinion well directed will ever get tbe people what htye have so long
sought of Standard Oil—Tulsa Democrat.
I'KOVKS THAT ABhTINKMK PATS.
One of the best temperance talks w have heard (or read of) was
that made a few days ago by Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia
club of the American baseball league. Jle wa* asked, In an interview,
to tell why bis men, admittedly the moat loyal and the best behaved, as
they are the most successful In the league, or any league, are teetotalers.
This Is the conversation as reported:
How does it happen," I asked, "that you have so many men who. as
Thomas said, have never known the taste of liquor? Does it mean the
survival of tbefittest, or does It mean that yoa prefer the abstemious
player?"
' Both," replied Mack. "Five years ago 1 would lake a man who drank,
provided I thought I could handle him and gradually break him of the
habit. Now 1 wouldn't bother with a youngster who drinks. That's my
fixed policy—1 have changed.''
"On account of age?"
So, Wisdom I've proved up, to my satisfaction this business of clean
living and quick thinking. It's the stuff champions are made" of."
Till. I'HW.vr OUTLOOK.
Henry Clews' Weekly Financial Review, always conservative and in-
clined to be pessimistic, says of tbe Mexican situation:
The Mexican situation at this writing appears to be decidedly im-
proving Carranxa'* recent successes bring a marked cbang. in the out-
locik Huerta Is one step nearer permanent elimination which makes for
peace so far as we are concerned. Time Is thue proving the best solvent
for this a* for many other troubles. As the seriousness of Intervention
Incomes more apparent to the average person, the less Inclined he is to
lavor such a policy. As time goes on Huerta must be convinced that his
cause is on the wane and that his retirement, whether compulsory or
voluntary, is only a question of weeks. Mediation may or may not fall,
hut efforts In that direction tend to clarify the situation, and afford those
ill charge a chance for groping their way out of the present seemingly
hopeless confusion. The Mexican difficulty I. by no means over, and must
I'.ill be compared to n sleeping volc ano. Nevertheless, there Is much more
reason to hope that Mr Wilson's policy of patience may tend to pe'aceful
settlement. As long „s Huerta backs and fills end Carrania and Villa re-
fuse to stop fighting, It looks as If the A 11 C mediators will not be able
to accomplish much. Meanwhile the recent triumphs of the Revolutionist*
have Inspired them with Increased confidence, and It now does look as
It they were fairly on their way to win out. Should they succeed In cup-
turtng tbe < |ty „f Mexico, Huerta, the bone of contention, will then be
elotntoated, and so far as the government is concerned, peace' will result
thereby. Then if the leaders are as wise as they are brave and buccsb-

I On August 21 the moon will pass
xactly between the earth and the
nun and there will be a total solar
eclipse. It will not be observed In
America, except as a Bmall partial
eclipse at sunrise in the northern
states and Canada, but in Persia,
I Russia and Scandinavia the full effect
! will be seen.
I Although the moon looks about
the same Uie as the sun, It is very
J much smaller. The sun is 865,000
miles in diameter and 30,000,000 miles
away, while the moon Is 2,163 miles
in diameter and 239,000 miles away.
On account of the moon's small Bize
compared with the sun the shadow
cast by the moon is a cone, and the
point of this cone just barely reaches
the earth.

As tho glare of the sun In the sky
is removed, and yet the moon hardly-
more than covers the sun. It Is pos-
sible at times of total solar eclipses
to see all the celestial objects near
the sun. These can not be seen at
other times because they are lost in
the bright sky light. It is this
which make astronomers so eager to
observe total eclipses. The most
striking thing Been is the solar co-
rona. a beautiful pearly light
stretching away from the sun in all
directions, something like the aurora
bornalis seen in northern countries.
The corona extends from one to
three Boiar diameters away from the
sun. Its form changes from year to
year In connection with the number
of sun spots which prevail. As the
present year will be one of compar-
atively few sun spots the corona Is
expected to have short but well-
marked poiar toys und long equa-
torial streamers. In 1918 a total
eclipse will be visible in the United
States, and as the sun spots will
then be numerous the corona will
probably extend nearly equally in
all directions.
Formerly it was believed probable
tliat one or more planets of the solar
system exist nearer the sun than
Mercury, and it was hoped to dis-
cover these during total solar
eclipses. But the sky has been so
carefully searched that no s«cli ob-
jects large enough to be worth count-
ing exist.
Formerly also it was regarded as
necessary to watt for eclipses and to,
see and study the beautiful rosy!
Many European and American par-
ties propose to observe the coming
eclipse. Russians and Scandinav-
ians, being cm the ground, will be
most numerous, bnt all the other
principal European nations will fur-
nish both government and private
observing parties. No official ex-
pedition is proposed to represent the
United States government. The Lick
Observatory ot California will send
an expedition in charge of Director
W. W. Campbell to Russia, and Pro-
fessor Todd, director of the Amherst
College Observatory, proposes to ob-
serve In Persia.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLEW KIDNEYS
EAT LESS MEAT IF YOC FEEL
BACKACHY OR HAVE
BLABDEB TROUBLE
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the
kidneys, they become overworked
from the strain, get sluggiBh and
fail to filter the waste and poisons
from the blood, then we get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness sleepless-
ness, dizziness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
tablespoonful in
in a few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to
neutraliie the acids in urine so it
no longer cauBeB irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.

A familiar burden in many a home,
The burden of a "bad back."
A lame, a weak or an aching back
Often tells you of kidney lils.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Here is good testimony to prove
thoir merits:
Mrs. F. j. Scott, Tecumseh, Okla.,
says; "i was afflicted with kidney
complaint and at times tho pains in
my back became so acute that i c-ould
hardly stoop. When i did manage to
do so and then attempted to straight-
en, sharp twinges darted from my
kidneys throughout my body, and i
was often forced to cry out. i had
headaches and was considerably an-
noyed by kidney weakness. Soon af-
ter i began taking Doan's Kidney
Pills, i felt better and continued us-
ing this remedy until i was complete-
ly cured. i have previously en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills and at
this time, i give you permission to
continue the publication of my state-
ment."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Scott had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
