Horse Show. Under the terms of the

It’s hard enough to keep house If
in perfect health, but a woman who
Is weak, tired and suffering all or
the time with an aching back has a
heavy burden to carry. Any woman
in this condition has good cause to
suspect kidney trouble, especially If
the kidney action seems disordered
at all. Doan’s Kidney Pills have
cured thousands of women suffering
in this way. It is the best-recom-

A new use for the automobile has
been found by western farmers. It is
that of utilizing the back wheels for
motive power to run wood saws.
“In traveling In the west I came
across a farmer, who was etitting
wood by means of his automobile,
aald J. E. Sheldon, representative of
a western automobile company, at the
Riggs house. “The farmer had jacked
up the rear axle of his machine and
attached a belt to one of the wheels,
which was connected with a saw. In
this manner he was sawing wood. I
asked him how he had come to think
of the Bcheme, and he told me that
it was common practice among farm-
ers ln the west.
«It Is astonishing how many farm-
ers all through the west own auto-
mobiles. Nearly every farmer who is
moderately well fixed has a machine.
It ia an ordinary sight to see automo-
biles skimming through the harvest
fields, and it is remarkable how much
time they save. The increased use of
.autos by farmers has, In a great meas-
ure, removed the prejudice against
machines, and it is seldom now that
one has a complaint from a farmer on
the score of fast driving. The farm-
ers, when they see a machine speed-
ing along the road, get out of the way
and do not attempt to hold up the oc-
cupants, as they formerly did. They
have learned the value of the auto-
mobile in their own business.
“One of the most striking results
of the use of automobiles among
farmers is that of keeping the boys
on the farm. The young fellows are
Smoke-Consumer a Success
A smoke consumer and fuel econo-
mizer, said to be the result of twenty
years’ trials, has been successfully
tested at Sheffield. Coal was fed into
the furnace of a boiler generating
steam foij running the works, with the
usual result—the emission of black
smoke from the chimney; then the
consumer was put into action, and in
place of the black smoke there was
only a slight trace of the products ol
combustion. The change is effected
by an arrangement of a series of de-
vices so placed in the flues as to in-
tercept the smoke, and cause it to be
ignited by the flames. Two air cir- ’
in last year's valuations, it is claimed
that the state levy for this year
would not have been nearly so much
as for last year.
The assessment of the Oklahoma
Gas and Electric company was re-
duced from $2,750,000 to $2,200,000.

Railroads Boosting Oklahoma
Oklahoma City-Recognizing the
psychology of the situation, the rail-
roads are going to utilize the autumn
months in giving Oklahoma City and
the state more free advertising than
ever attempted in any twelve-month
period before. Statistics will soon
become available from authoritative
sources showing the approximate
crop production of the year and as
this will admittedly exceed the pro-
duction of any previous twelve
months, the general offices are confi-
dent that scores of farmers from the
north and east will he induced to
sell their high-priced holdings and re-
invest in Oklahoma land. The Santa
Fe is getting out a handsome book-
let on the state’s resources, which it
will spread broadcast over possible
emigration areas; the Katy is run-
ning a series of illustrated descrip-
tive articles on the city and state;

Oklahoma Crop Will Be Worth Huge
Sum of $43,000,000
Oklahoma City—The average of re-
ports from twenty-five traveling men
evolves the information that a seven-
ty-five million bushel corn crop is
about to appear on the industrial land-
scape of Oklahoma. The basis is a
twenty per cent increase in acreage
and growing condition given by the
government crop bulletin at 100 per
cent in advance of last year.
While the growing condition figures
'of the government are slightly lower
than those furnished by the corre-
sponding report of 1909, when an acre-
age of 5,135,383 acres gave a total pro-
duction of 70,606,260 bushels, an aver-
age production of over fourteen bush-
els to the acre and a total value of
$35,597,716, it is thoufht that the in-
creased acreage will more than com-
pensate for the margin between the
development conditions.
Oklahoma opened up the century
with a champion corn production
stunt, the average yield being twenty-
six bushels to the acre. In 1910 the
average was sixteen bushels, while in
1911 there was a decrease to an aver-
age of 7.8 bushels to the acre. The
growing condition the first of August
being reported by the government at
double that of the growing condition
on the same date in 1911, this feature
alone would presage a production of
15.6 bushels to the acre for the pres-
ent year. This, considered together
with a quarter million increase in
acreage, makes the probable produc-
tion foe the current year approximate-
ly seventy-five million bushels, and
worth at the current price $43,000,000.
Lumber Combine Charged.
Oklahoma City.--Ten lumber com-
panies are named in the action
brought before the corporation com-
mission charging illegal restraint of
trade and the formation of a combine
to fix prices and control the lumber
output. In his petition, Attorney Gen-
eral West names the Minnetonka
Lumber company, S. M. Gloyd com-
pany, T. H. Rogers Lumber company,
George D. Hope Lumber company,
Badger Lumber company, Clark and

Moving Pictures Popular.
In a recent number of the Dally
Consular Reports are collected memo-
randa from cities and towns ln vari-
ous distant parts of the world showing
the universal quality of the popular
Interest which the moving pictures
excite. England, Japan, Turkey, Mex-
ico, India, Australia and the islands
of the sea all have the same story to

Child's Fear of the Dark.
If mothers notice that the brains of
their little ones conjure up uncanny
sights and thoughts from the shadows
of a room more or less dark, let the
light burn brightly. To force a child
to become accustomed to the darkness
Is a grave error, If its nervous system
Is so organized that this forcing Is
productive of a fright.
The nervous system of a child Is a
very susceptible organization and the
deleterious Impressions made upon It
will often make their influence felt
throughout Its whole' afterlife, If the
child asks for a light under such cir-
cumstance* do not refuse It.

“Five years ago,” writes a doctor
“I commenced to use Postum ln my

a well-known fact that tea is just as
Injurious as coffee because It contains
caffeine, the same drug found ln cof-
fee.) “I was so well pleased with the
results that I had two grocers place
It ln stock, guaranteeing its sale.
“I then commenced to recommend It
to my patients ln place of coffee, as a
nutritious beverage. The consequence
is, every store in town Is now selling
It, as It has become a household ne-
cessity ln many homes.
“I’m sure I prescribe Postum as oft-
en as any one remedy in the Materia
Medica—ln almost every case of indi-
gestion and nervousness I treat, and
with the best results.
