h i VISIT MOST OPPORTUNE
Another Day's Delay and the Result
Would Have Been Unfortunate
—For the Physician.
A lady was very solicitous about her
health. Every trifle made her uneasy,
and the doctor was called imme-
diately.
The doctor was a skillful man, and
consequently had a large practice. It
was very disagreeable to him to be so
often called away from his other cases
for nothing, and he resolved to take an
opportunity of letting the lady see
this One day the lady observed a red
spot on her hand, and at once sent
for the doctor, lie came, looked at
her hand, and said:
"You did well to send for me early."
The lady looked alarmed and asked:
"Js It dangerous, then?"
Certainly not," replied the doctor.
' To-morrow the spot would have dis-
appeared, and 1 should have lost my

A BURNING ERUPTION FROM
HEAD TO FEET
"Four years ago 1 suffered severely
with a terrible eczema, being a mass
of sores from head to feet and for six |
weeks confined to my bed. During j
ihat time I suffered continual tor-J
lure from itching and burning. After I
being given up by my doctor I was ad-i
vised io try Cuticura Remedies. After!
the first bath with Cuticura Soap and
application of Cuticura Ointment I en-
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. I also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con-
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end of that time 1 was able to bo
about the house, entirely cured, and
have felt no ill effects since, I would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies as 1 know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning,

Her Bright New Cook.
Mrs. Blank prided herself on her
ability to train her servants, and she
had Just been bragging about the
treasure she had in her new colored
cook when the following dialogue oc-
curred:
Now, Amaranth, I'll come out and
fry the chicken, but I want you to
have it all ready for me. Dress it
carefully and be sure to singe off
every hair."
"Yas'm."

A WOMAN DOCTOR
Was Quick to See that Coffee was
Doing the Mischief.
A lady tells of a bad case of coffee
poisoning and tells it in a w ay so sim-
ple and straightforward that literary
skill could not improve it.
"1 had neuralgic headaches for 12
years," she says, "and suffered untold
agony. When I first began to have
(hem I weighed 140 pounds, but they
brought me down to 110. I went
to many doctors and they gave me
or;:; temporary relief. So 1 suffered
on. til! one day a woman doctor told
me to use Poatum. She said 1 looked
like 1 was coffee poisoned.
' So I began to drink Postum and I
gained 15 pounds in the first few
weeks and continued to gain, but not
so fast as at first. My headaches he-
can to leave me after I had used
Postum about two weeks — long
enough to get the coffee poison out of
my system.
Since I began to use Postum I can
f adly say that 1 never know what a
rif uralgic headache is llko any more,
and it was nothing but Postum that
made me well. Before I used Postum
never went out alone; I would get
bewildered and would not know which
way to turn. Now I go alone and my
bead is as clear as a bell. My brain
and nerves are stronger than they
have been for years."

MANY FAVOR SPECIAL SESSION
Legislators Telegraph Governor Giving
Reasons for Early Call
Guthrie, Okla.—Thirty-two members
nf the legislature have telegraphed
Governor Haskell their views relative
to the necessity of a special sessien
of the legislature. Twenty-one fav-
ored a special session, seven opposed
it and four were non-committal.
It is probable that a special session
will be called by the governor within
the netx few days and (hat it will
convent Jnn. 20. One of the most im-
portant matters to be considered, and
this probably will lead all others in
the call, is a re-enaction of the laws
governing fees and salaries of coun-
ty officers. The necessity for this
action is found in the lack of uni-
formity existing among ti:3 several
iav/s under which officers may draw
pay and in the fact that the fee sys-
tem has resulted in exorbitant sal-
aries being paid cjr ain officers, par-
ticularly registers of deeds and dis-
trict clerks. The constitution prohib-
it the enactment of a 1tw that would
increase the emoluments of an ofliee
egecthe duiinS the administration in
which it Is passed. Unless the de-
fects in the law are remedied by a
special session, the present system
would necessarily remain in vogue
two and periiaps four years longer.
Some legislation affecting the school
land department is necessary. Under
tlie constitution no department of the
state government is authorized to use
state funds that are not appropriated
specifically by the legislature. The
school land department has not com-
plied with this to the letter, it being
held by some attorneys that the
school fund is a trust fund and that
its expenditure would fall without the
constitutional prohibition.
There probably will be some amend-
ments to the bank guaranty law, of
a minor nature, which will serve to
strengthen the law and not materially
affect its general principles. A res-
olution may be adopted also memor-
ializing congress to grant the Chilocco
Indian school property, valued at
about $750,000, to the state, in the
event of such a grant it being con-
templated, perhaps, to use the insti-
tution as an insane asylum, which
would mean the abandonment of Fort
Supply as an asylum.
SHERIFFS TAKE FEES ILLEGALLY

THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT

The reports from the grain fields of
Central Canada, (which comprises the

Senator Smi'h says:

tion. In the distribution of the con-
ditions causing it no district has been
overlooked.
Various estimates of the total yield
of wheat for the country have been
made, but it is not the vast total that
partment. The law, contend, while
.' umewhat indefinite, does not warrant
(he great outlay of money from ths
county treasuries. That " in every
county, more or less, I am sorry to
say in most of them, more money 's j
I aid out at the end of each quarter
than is warranted by any reasonable
censtruetion of the law.
"Since the publication of my first
letter, I have received without solici-
tation more than three hundred let-
ters from leading taxpayers from about
seventy ccun'ies, making complaint
that some of their officers, and in al-
most every one of them, the sheriff's
('tpartment, is. getting money out of
lcets the wheat crop of Canada has
suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India, is now a fac-
tor in the making of prices. If so to-
day, what will be its effect five or ten
years from now, when, instead of
there being seven million acres under
crop with a total yield of 125 or 130
million bushels, there will be from 17
to 30 million acres in wheat with a
yield of from 325 to 600 million bush-
els. When it is considered that the
largest yield in the United States but
slightly exceeded 700 million bushels,
the greatness of these figures may be
understood. Well, such is a safe fore-
cast, for Canada has the land and it
the county it is not entitled to. I : has the soil. Even today the Prov-

Bootleggers Rule in Muskogee
Muskogee, Okla.—It looks as if the
bootleggers have won their fight in
Muskogee county, and that the at-
tempts of the state and county office-s
to cope with the situaton is at an end.
The county commissioners have come
to the conclusion that it is folly to
l:eep up the enormous expense of pay-
ing fees to deputy sheriffs and enforce-
ment officers, when no results are ob-
t iined except to raid the Joints and
drug stores and confiscate whatever li-
quor there is in sight.
There are now 250 cases in the su-
perior court for alleged vlola'iens
the prohibition law. Judge McCain,
of the superior court, and W. J
C'rump, prosecuting attorney, are de-
bating whether these cases shall
carried on through the courts, or
dropped from the dockets, as it woul
appear useless to attempt to push the
prosecutions further unless the coun
ty agrees to pay the costs. There are
deputy sheriffs, policemen and other
officials who, it is alleged, are run
ning up fee bills as high as |500 pa:
month each for raiding Joiuts.
Joints are running wide open. It
Is said there are forty bars running
in Muskogee.
C? difference; but first let me admit
t o'h the sheriff and board of county
commissioners are honest and acting
in good faith.

only is the high sheriff in this way

Physician Held on Indictment
Muskogee, Okla.—Two more arrests
were mads here Friday as a result
of indictments by the special grand
Jury. Dr. L. F. Flamm, county phys-
ician, was indicted charged with re-
ceiving money from patients treated
by him, and presenting bills to the
county and receiving payment for the
same service. Robert H. Greer was
arrested charged in an indictmemit
with bribing township officers. Greer
is in the township supply business
and the charge against him is giving
a township trnstee ten per cent rake-
off.
Steel Arrives In Lawton
Lawton, Okla.—Five carloads of
steel for the Lawton and Fort Sill

ment of ten thousand dollars, has been

to the so-called salary, and the forty
per cent of the criminal work done
by the deputy, the sheriff colects
from the county the forty per cent
and sixty per cent of so-called work
done in civil litigation in the county
and district courts. If this is not 'go-
ing some what is it? It would appear
ti'at every county is a law unto itself.'
Special Session Opinions Asked
Guthrie, Okla.—Governor Haskell
Tuesday directed the following letter
circular in nature, to all members of
the second Oklahoma legislature, ask-
ing their opinion, with the request that
they answer by telegraph, as to the
necessity of a special session of the
legislature.
"Please telegraph me what you and
the people of your locality think as t:<
the necessity of a special session of
the legislature, having in mind partic-
ularly the question of taxation, and of
limiting the tax leyes, and further r9-
s-'.rictlng the issuing of district, coun-
ty and municipal bonds, and of divid-
ing the annual tax payments into two
payments instead of one, and granting
temporary relief by extending the time
for the present tax payment; also of
passing a uniform and definite offers'
salary or fee bill, and any other sub-
Jet;? that may seem of immediate ira-
I-oiltnce."
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores
of yields are reported of forty and
some as high as sixty bushels. The
larmer, who takes care of his soil,
who gets his seed-bed ready early, Is
certain of a splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are resi-
dents in that country and who are
vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world
know its capabilities.
Why He Got Married.
A $900-per-annum clerk in one of
Uncle Sam's departments at Washing-
ton was recently approached by a co-
worker, who asked if it were true, as
rumor had it, that the $900 person
was about to marry.
"It is," was the laconic response.
"Surely, old man," said the other,
with that freedom permitted an inti-
mate friend, "you don't think that
your present income would Justify you
in taking a wife?"
"To be perfectly frank," said the
other, "I do not."
"Then what on earth can be your
reason for taking this serious step?"
"I have no reason," was the calm re-
sponse. "I am in love."—Lippincott's

Public School Officers Meet
Guthrie, Okla.-—The meeting of the
State Public School Officers' Associa-
tion, which commences here next
week, is heralded as being of really
greater importance to the educational
interests of the state than the recent
meeting of the teachers' association
at Oklahoma City. The pedagogical many years
phase of school work will be pushed ' " '
to the background at this meeting
which will be attended by county com-
missioners and members of school
boards from all over the state.
Twenty-four Carloads Purchased for
Lewis' Single Binder Cigar
Factory.
What is probably the biggest lot of
all fancy grade tobacco held by any
factory In the United States has Just
been purchased by Frank P. Lewis, of
Peoria, for the manufacture of Lewis'
Single Binder Cigars. The lot will
make twenty-four carloads, and is se-
lected from what is considered by ex-
perts to be the finest crop raised in
many years. The purchase of tobacco
is sufficient to last the factory more
than two years. An extra price was
paid for the selection. Smokers of
Lewis' Single Binder Cigars will appre-
ciate this tobacco.

Much of the chronic lameness
in horses is due to neglect.
See that your horse is not al.
lowed to go lame. Keep Sloan's
