A. L. WELCH, INSURANCE COMMISSIONER.
3ENATE CONSIDERS THE GRAVE
CHARGES PREFERRED BY THE
LOWER HOUSE AGAINST
TWO STATE OFFICIALS
WATSON SPECIALTY WAS SOLIC-
ITING 'LOANS' OF CORPOATIONS
While Commissioner Welch Is Accused
of a Variety of Misdeeds, Direct
Bribery, and Illegally Using
His Office to Aid His Friends
and Business Associates
Oklahoma City.—A. L.
State Insurance Commissioner and
A. P. Watson, Corporation Commis-
sioner, will be impeached before the
Legislature adjourns. Charges have
been filed by the House and the Sen-
ate is organizing as a court of im-
peachment. A bill has been passed
authorizing the Senate to remain In
session after the House adjourns, to
complete tlhe trials. Investigations
now in progress may include Com-
missioners Love and Henshaw in the
Impeachment.
The Welch proceedings came first,
and after investigation of some
weeks an affirmative report was re-
turned, the vote of tTie committee
standing as follows: For bringing
impeachment proceedings, G. W.
Hood win of Pawnee, chairman; J. O.
McColllster, Mangum; J. P. Speer,
Comanche; R. L. Disney, Muskogee;
L. N. Barbee, Rush Springs, and E. E.
Sams, Delaware. Sams is the only | J
Republican member of the commit-
tee.
The report was adopted by an ov-
erwhelm'ng vote and Representative
0. W. Goodwin of Pawnee, C. L. Pink-
ham of Kay and E. K. Sams of No-
wata, house managers were Instruct-
ed to present the articles to the sen-
ate.
The Case of Watson.
Although the report came second,
the W'a8ton impeachment will come
first, in order to dispose of it before
'he two-cent fare cases next month.
The report of the Watson committee
was adopted on roll call 88 to 5. Im-
mediately thereafter Speaker Mo-
Crory appointed C. L. Pinkkhain,
Wash HuJson and J. T. Dickerson as
board of managers to draw up the
formal articles of impeachment and
present the case to the senate. The
board returned the articles to the
house immediately and they were
adopted, practically without iiscusr
sion, by a vote of 80 to 6.

Must Have Healthful Sleep.
Edison, the inventor, has been
quoted as saying that little sleep is
necessary, and that the time will come
when mankind will not sleep at all,
and therefore not waste a fourth or
fifth of valuable time in the 24 hours
of the day in a condition equivalent
to death. At the moment, of course,
Mr. Edison was breaking into the role
of the professional humorist. Ail of
the things called nature demands rest,
and the most eloquent description of
misery ever written was that in Mac-
beth," when it was declared that the
murderous thane should sleep no more
—that he had murdered sleep. So the
person who fails to. have health-
ful sleep has in one way or another
murdered sleep.
BROUGHT ALL INTO COURT
Indictments Too Hastily Issued Caused
Some Commotion When In-
terested Ones Appeared.
The Green Bag reports the recent ef-
fort of Judge Wallace of the Kan-
sas City criminal court to enforce rig-
idly the Sunday blue laws. He had or-
dered the indictment and arrest of all
keeper of shops, stores and parks, as
well as all actors and other perform-
ers. One of the places of amusement
was a hippodrome of wild animals,
and in-its zeal the grand jury had in-
dicted a number of actors at this place
on information furnished by witnesses
employed there. Warrants were issued
and the marshal was directed to bring
the indicted ones before the bar.
•Call Mary Garden," said the judge.
"Mary Garden!" yelled the deputy
marshal. 1
There was an appreciable delay, and
then suddenly the door opened and
into tne crowded court room came two
men dragging, at the end of powerful
chain, an angry lioness, who ex-
pressed her disapproval of the situa-
tion by emitting a deafening roar.
When the stampede was stopped and
order restored the overenthusiastic
judge found that he had caused the
indictment of some hundred or more
animals, including lions, tigers, leop-
ards, hyenas, dogs, cats and pigs, all
of which were at the court house
entrance creating such a disturbance
that the whole neighborhood had gone
into a state of siege.—New- York Sun.
FEVERISH, SICK
Look, Mother! If tongue ia
coated, give "California
Syrup of Figs."
Children love this "fruit laxative,"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach,'liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one bdeomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
6tomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
Mother! See If tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of "California
Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes ont of the sys-
tem, and you have a well child again.
Millions of mothers give "California
Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it nev-
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Adv.

The fellow told him to go Into

near the window was Mr. Dunn. The

Man Who Knows Points Out That
Scientific Diccoveries Are Not
Manufactured.
"There is a widespread but errone-
ous belief in official circles, and among
wealthy philanthropists," writes Sir
Ray Lankester in the London Daily
Telegraph, "to the effect that you can
hire a scientific discoverer and then
say to him, "Discover me this' or 'Dis-
cover me that' (naming to him a pos-
sible and greatly desired piece of new
knowledge), and that he will there-
upon proceed right away to make the
discovery which you want. . . . But
valuable and important scientific dis-
covery cannot be produced directly in
response to orders given and money
expended.
"You cannot manufacture scientific
discovery like soap. The great diffi-
culty, In the first place, is to catch
that rare and evasive creature—a
scientific discoverer—and when you
have found him you have to humor
him and let him do as he fancies.
Then he will discover things, but
probably not the things which either
you or he wanted or expected."

Malaria, to which children are sus-
septible, has been made largely a pre-
ventable disease by a study of the
mosquito carrier, its breeding places
and natural history, and by inocula-
tion experiments on animals and man.
It was proved by Italian observers
that the mosquito disseminates bird
malaria in the same manner as in the
human subject.
The final upshot of these investiga-
tions has been that large tracts of
hitherto waste and dangerous land
have been rendered safe and produc-
tive. A widespread cause of debilitat-
ing sickness, and even of death, has
thus been removed.
In snch areas the saddest sight has
been the stunted, anemic children,
with euiarged livers and spleens, the
evidences of chronic malarial poison-
ing, that can now be obviated by put-
ting modern knowledge into effect.
A True Bourbon.
In the unregenerate past, when our
fair land lay In drunken stupor under
the heel of the demon rum, a teacher
of chemistry in one of the southern
colleges was quizzing his class on the
subject of the preceding lecture, which
was "water," and happened to call up-
on a student from Kentucky, one John-
son.
"Johnson," he said, "name the prin-
cipal properties of water."
"Well, sir," said Johnson, briskly
and confidently, "it's poisonous."—

The Question
Before Us Is-
What importance—if any—is there
in the Mineral Content of food?
Listen then, to a well-known physician: —
"Unfortunately for the well-being and health of the
individual and the human race, the manufacture of foods
has been tending more and more to isolation of chemical
entities; and our modern methods of 'refining', 'purify-
ing' and 'improving' the foods which Nature so abund-
antly furnishes, deprive the natural, wholesome food
products of most of their mineral constituents and there-
by reduce their real food values to a minimum.
"The human organism receives but a small fraction
of the nutritive minerals which Nature evidently intend-
ed it to have, and the inevitable result is Mineral Starva-
tion and its dire consequences in the shape of Malnutri-
tion, General Debility, Anemia, Indigestion,Tuberculosis,
Rachitis, Gout, Carcinoma, Diabetes, Nephritis, Decayed
Teeth, and other modern diseases."
The recognition of these facts led, about twenty years ago, to the
perfecting of a food extraordinarily rich in those "mineral constituents"
mentioned above, and which are so necessary for proper growth and
maintenance of body, nerves and brain.
That food is
Grape-Nuts
—a food containing all the nutriment of wheat and barley, including the- priceless
phosphorus, iron, lime, sulphur, etc., of these grains.
Easy of digestion, nourishing, economical, delicious—this food, as a part of the
daily ration, has proved its worth to thousands.
