HER TROUBLES
BEGIN EARLY
foung Lady Relates Her Experi*
ence, and Tells How She
Overcame Troubles Which
Started at Fifteen.
Paulina, La.—“When I was only fif-
teen years old,” says Miss Lizzie St.
Pierre, of this town, "I began suffer-
ing from womanly troubles. 1 had all
kinds of pains, felt nervous, dizzy and
weak, had headaehe, backache, and
with all that I bad fever.
I commenced taking Cardui, the
woman’s tonic, and it made me per-
fectly well. Am only seventeen years
old now, but feel a whole lot younger.
Mama got so she couldn't sleep,
and always felt dizzy.- She took Car-
dui treatment, and now she is in per-
fect health.
If you think the publication of this
letter will encourage other suffering
ladies to iiy Cardui, you may print it.
I certainly feel thankful for what
Cardui has done for my mother and
me.”
Thousands of women have written,
like Miss St. Pierre, to tell of the bene-
ficial results they obtained by taking
this well-known woman’s remedy. You
must believe that Cardui will help you,
because it has helped so many others.
Composed of purely vegetable, medi-
cinal ingredients, having a gentle,
strengthening action on the system,
Cardui is a reliable remedy for young
and old, with absolutely no bad after-
effects. Try it, and you will find it of
benefit, whenever you need a tonic.

A New York contractor said, apro-
pos of a poor man who, after taking
tremendous risks, had improved his
position a little:
"This fellow’s case proves to us that
it is sometimes better to try the fire
than to stay always in the frying
pan."
THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
Since the institution of this government it has been the fixed
custom of our people to observe one day in each year as a Thanks-
giving Day, on which day the people of all creeds and all conditions
may return to the Giver of all good gifts thanks for His blessings
during the preceding twelve months.
These recurring thanksgiving occasions have accentuated largely
temporal and material blessings; bountiful harvests and growing bank
accounts have been the inspiration with many; but there are those
among us who feel, when the hand of adversity has fallen heavily, and
the drouth and flood have come, that there is nothing left for which we
should be thankful.
The people of Oklahoma, notwithstanding the harvests have been
more meager than we have wished them to be, have many things to
give thanks for that are worth more than grain and fruit and gold.
Material progress toward a higher individual and collective life has
marked the course of this state in its travels during the past twelve
months; our schools supplying mental want, and churches minster-
ing to the spiritual need of the people, have increased in useful
service, and a general advance along higher and happier lines has
been the portion of our people. It is befitting, therefore, that we
return thanks unto Him wdio shapes the destinies of the nation and
state for these greater blessings, too frequently overlooked and un-
appreciated. „ _, , ,
WHEREFORE. !. Lee Cruce, governor of the state of Oklahoma,
do proclaim that Thursday, November 27, 1913, be and the same is
set apart as Thanksgiving Day—a day upon which the people of the
state are requested to pause in their daily pursuits and give thanks
unto God for the things of life which are good and which He permits
us to enjoy.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and
caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Oklahoma, this
the 13th day of November, 1913.
(Seal.) LEE CRUCE. Governor.
Attest: BENJAMIN F. HARRISON. Secretary of State.

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANORUFF
Girls! Beautify Your Hair! Make It
Soft, Fluffy and Luxuriant—Try
the Moist Cloth.
Try as you will, after an application
of Dauderine, you cannot find a single
trace of dandruff or falling hair and
your scalp will not itch, but what will
please you most, will be after a few
weeks’ use, when you see new hair,
fine and downy at first—yes—but real-
ly new hair—growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No differ-
ence how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is im-
mediate and amazing—your hair will
be light, fluffy and wavy, and have au
appearance of abundance; au incom-
parable luster, softness and luxuri-
ance, the beauty and shimmer of true
hair health.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any store and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any—that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment—that’s
ail. Adv. _

Chickasha.—After a three days ses-
sion, the Oklahoma State Baptist as-
sociation closed one of the most suc-
cessful conventions in the history of
the organization here. Three hun-
dred and fifty of the ministers and
laymen members present departed in
a body for Shawnee where they at-
tended the funeral of Evangelist J. L.
Keller, who died suddenly.
Officers elected for the year are as
follows: Rev. C. Stubblefield of Ada,
president; D. P. Saunders ot I< red-
erick, vice president; Rellefort Brett
of Cordell, vice president; W. P.
Blake of Shawnee, re-elected secre-
tary for the twenty-fifth consecutive
time; J- H. Stewart of Oklahoma ( ity,
treasurer; J. C. Stalcup of Oklahoma
City, corresponding secretary, re-elect-
ed for the eleventh time.
Striking a popular chord probably
more forcibly than any one number
since the beginning of the Baptist
convention here, the Indian choir
made a decided hit with its sacred
concert, rendered both in English and
in the native language. Every mem-
ber of the choir is a full-blood Chick-
asaw Indian, as is the leader, Able
Brown.
Twenty Indians attended the con-
vention and took an active part in the
services. Over four hundred dele-
gates attended from every section of
Oklahoma and from Texas, Kansas
and many northeastern states.

Ardmore—In the selection of names
for Oklahoma counties and towns,
presidents and prominent statesmen
have been liberally honored and it is
the intention that none shall be over-
looked. It has been decided to name
a new town being started on tlie Ring
ling road between Ardmore and Wau
rika after President Wilson. Presi-
dents Grant, Lincoln, Jackson, Gai-
field and Cleveland wore remembered
in the naming of counties; another
countv is named alter Governor Har
mon of Ohio, another is named alter
ex-Governor Haskell and still another
for Secretary Bryan. There is the
town of Roosevelt in the southwest-
ern part of the state, and Taft in
the southeastern part. Many other
statesmen are also remembered in the
naailng of counties and towns
May.—The Ravensehaft ranch, ly-
ing northwest of here near Laverne,
recently was sold to J. C. Arburthnot
of Cuba, Kan., and George Dakins ot
Ashland for a consideration of $107 -
000. The ranch comprises 6,560 acres
of land, the greater part of which
lies in the Beaver valley, being rich
for both grazing and agricultural pur-
poses. This transaction marks one ol
the largest land deals ever consuni
mated in this part of the state.
The Ravenschafts are “old timers"
here, where they have engaged ex-
tensively in the cattle business for
the past eighteen years. They will
make their future home in Laverne,
where they will retire from active
business.
BURNS WERE FATAL
Six-Year-Old Girl at Antlers Was Left
Alone in House
Antlers.—Pearl May Diamond, 6-
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.
J. Diamond, alone in the house, stood
before the heating ustove with the
door open. Her clothing became
ablaze and the child was so badly
burned she died shortly after. The
child ran through the yard screaming
with her clothing burning, but neigh-
bors could not reach her in time.
LAMOTTES ARE ARRESTED
Former Wife of Congressman Me
Guire and Husband in Custody
Pawhuska.—Mr. and Mrs. Georgy
Lamotte were arrested here by Unit-
ed States Marshal W. S. Cade, under
warrants based on indictments re
turned by the federal grand jury at
Lawton. The indictments grow out
of the Osage oil lease cases which
caused the indictment and arrest ot
several prominent oil men several
days ago.
Demonstration Farms Established.
Aitus—J. E. Payne, farm demonstra
tion man for the Frisco between Ok
lahoma City and Eldorado Clinton and
Davidson, was in Aitus and estab
iislied demonstration farms at George j
Stroud's, four miles northeast; Jeter j
Bros., three miles southeast, and G.
L. Melton’s, three miles west. He also
established two more farms near '
Eldorado. His first instructions to his j
workers are to plow the land at least
seven inches deep, and he will return •
again before planting time and give j
further instructions.
The results of the threshing
| throughout Western Canada showB a
| more wonderful yield than usual of
j wheat, oats, barley and flax, all of
which was harvested and threshed in
perfect order. Not only was the av-
erage yield excellent over the entire
country, but the quality was of the
highest standard. Without going into
figures, it is sufficient to say that
wheat graded almost universally very
near the top. Reports are to hand
showing yields of wheat fiom many
fields which averaged forty bushels
per acre, and weighing 65 pounds to
the measured bushel. Oats were very
heavy, running from fifty to one hun-
dred and fifteen bushels to the acre.
Barley also was a very heavy yielder
and kept up the reputation of Western
Canada as a producer of that cereal.
In many parts of the country the yield
of flax exceeded tho earlier expecta-
i tions, but in other parts, there was
j some loss on account of winds blow-
! ing off the boll. Hundreds of farm-
j era w'ho have only*been in the country
! three or four years, wfith but little
means when they arrived, will, out of
the crop of this year, clean up all their
j indebtedness, ami be able to put some-
I thing aside for further improvements
on their farms and homes which are
; now freed of incumbrance. The writ-
er has just heard of the experience
of a man in the Battleford district
that is worth repeating. He went to
j the district seven or eight years ago,
with no money, worked for a time, got
a team of horses, did some freighting
i and homesteaded a quarter section of
i land. He now' owns 480 acres of land,
j clear of all incumbrances, and has
: wheat, oats, barley and hay, as well
as a good number of horses, cattle and
hogs, feeding rough grain to the stock.
He is a firm believer in mixed farming.
The fifty dollars that he first earned
in the country has now increased to
$25,000. He has never had a crop
failure. Instances of this kind could
be repeated over and over again.
There is a Dane, named Key, east
of Saskatoon, whose oats this year
went 110 bushels to the acre, and his
wheat 40 bushels. He has paid off
the mortgage on his farm, and now
contemplates a trip to Denmark, to
visit his old home. 'He has no more
cares or worries, but is anxious to
have more of his people settle in that
part. It is not only the farmer with
limited means and small area of land
who is doing well, and has done w’on-
derfully in Western Canada this year,
but the man with means, the man who
is able to conduct successful farming
on a large scale and many opportuni-
ties offer for such in Western Canada,'
also has increased his bank account
handsomely. A farmer in Southern
Alberta raised 350,000 bushels of grain
in 1913, and made almost a fortune
out of it. In Saskatchewan and in
Manitoba is to be heard the same
story of what has been done by the
farmer working a large area, which
he is able to do successfully, by the
use of improved farm machinery, en-
abling him to cut hundreds of acres
a day, and plow' the land immediately
with large traction outfits. No better
recommendation could be given the
country than the fact that during the
past year, upwards of 400,000 settlers
arrived in Canada, the greater num-
ber of whom went to the farm. There
are still many thousands of home-
steads still available, capable of pro-
ducing such crops and maintaining
such herds as has made rich men out
of the thousands whose experiences
could be reproduced were it neces-
sary—Advertisement.
