Your Blood is a
Field of Battle
A valiant little army is con-

Night and day they patrol every alley and

They re the white corpuscles,—the "Little
Soldiers of the Blood."
Modern science has demonstrated that those
white corpuscles are the disease-fighters of the
blood. See the picture in the circle, and the ex-
planation of how they fight for you. They de-
stroy the millions of germs which pass into
our bodies with every breath we take. When the
blood is poor and thin and deficient in its proper
supply of white corpuscles, the invading germs
swarming in, and finding the defending force
too weak to oppose them, take possession of the
body and begin their work of destruction.
This is the beginning of an attack of an in-
fectious disease such as the grip, pneumonia, and
fevers, and even of the winter cough or cold.
The germs of such diseases sweep across the
surface of the delicate mucous membranes of
the throat, the nostrils, the air passages of the
lungs. Nothing can stop their attacks or de-
feat their ravages, but pure, diseasfk-fighting
blood,—the blood that Hood's Sarsaparilla makes.
It is also owing to the tbin, impure condition
of the blood that scrofulous troubles, eczema,
boils and pimples, develop, and rheumatism, ca-
tarrh and other diseases gain a hold.
When such troubles are once established, noth-
ing but a medicine that will absolutely and irre-
sistibly cast them out can permanently cure.
As a blood-purifying tonie and health-
builder, Hood's Sarsaparilla is pure and sure. It
is pleasant to take, bright, clear and bracing to
the last drop, with no depressing after-effects.
It has cured thousands of people and is prob-
ably taken in more homes today as a reliable
family medicine than any other preparation. It
is essentially a blood-maker, a digestive, an appe-
tizer, an invigorator that nourishes both brain
and body and enriches the blood.
If you are ill, weak, rundown, have "that
tired feeling," if your appetite is poor and your
digestion bad, Hood's Sarsaparilla is just the
medicine for you. Tf your disease is of long
standing or of constitutional nature, like scrofula
or eczema, or catarrh, if it is caused by acidity
of the blood like rheumatism or neuralgia, or
pleurisy, Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses just the
qualities necessary to cure you, and you will
find them in this medicine as in no other.
Take Hood's Sarsaparilla for yonr spring
medicine, and fill your body with generous life-
giving blood, rich in red corpuscles to nourish
you, and normal in whito corpuscles, the disease-
fighters of the blood. Then you may reasonably
expect health, good appetite, perfect digestion,
clear and energetio brain power all the coming
year.
Be sure to get Hood's Sarsaparilla, in usual
liquid form, or in chocolate-coated tablets calied
Sarsatabs. 100 Doses One Dollar.
WHITE SKIN AND THA.' OF
PUPPIES SAVE NEGRO
Wounds of Lad Badly Burned Are
Covered By 8 Months' Work.
BALTIMORE, Feb 17.—Aft.r eight
month*' -work anrffoona «vt the Vit>
Hospital have grafted enough ekln to
«ivi the llf« of a negro boy who had
lost three-quarters of his skin by burn-
ing. In accomplishing the remarkable
result the surgeons used skin from pup-
pies ana from humans.
The patient la Raymond Howard, nine
years old, who was burned In a gasoline
explosion July 4 last. The child was ad-
mitted to the hoapltal Sept. 1. Llttlo
puppies were robbed of skin to be used
for covering the wound on the child's
lack. The skin took hold and noon nei*
•kin was formed A ^piece of skin taken
from an amputation In the case r*
white woman was next tried. That too,
adhered to the wound on the back, ant}
some of It vat placed on the arm
the leas, a white man had lost a foot.
The skin from it was grafted to the boy's
legs, and finally a negro met with i
similar accident. The skin from hi
crushed leg was used for the boy. and
gradually the wounds are being covered
with new ekln. As soon as they can get
th* bov's back covered the doctors say
the fight will be won.

THE RED MAN IS
NOT VANISHING
Indian Commissioners Say He Is
as Numerous as He -Iver
Was.
WASHINGTON. Fob. 27—The pre-
vailing idea that the Indian Is rapldlj
disappearing Is far from correct, ac-
cording to the hoard of Indian commis-
sioners. members of which called on
tho President today. The board has
been hero several days preparing Its re-
port. The members say there are about
300,000 Indians In the country now,
and that the best estimates hold thera
never were more than that number—
even when Columbus discovered Amer-
ica.
Tt is true, the commissioners say. that
many of th.< 300.000 are not full bloods.
Moreover, the ravtges of tuberculosis
are becoming alarmingly gTeat The
board. In Its report to the secretary of
the Interior, urges that a vigorous war
be waged on tuberculosis amon* the
red men, with Inerensed hospltnl « er-
vice ,out door camps and more doctors.
T^te researches of Dr. TTerdllca of the
Smithsonian Institution show that In
some of the tribes the ravages of tu-
beeulosls nre greater than' among anv
otlier people on earth. The Sioux

Says fillotson Oil and Gas Farmer Members Oppose Repeal
Measure Has Good Features But
Contains Jokers-Fish and Game
Bill Was Good Until Much
Amended By House.
In an Interview given out late last
night, J. II. Humphreys, of Atoka, a
prominent member of the minority and
one of the recognised legal lights on the
floor of the house, glvea his opinion on
work accomplished by the second legisla-
ture.
lie is of the opinion with practically &t%
of the other members that nothing has
been passed of any great Importance.
Mr. Humphreys says;
"I have examined carefully all laws
passed so far by the second general as-
sembly and fall to find a law that la of
any great Importance to the people of
the state at large.
"Practically every measure so far
either private In its nature or extends
or abrldgea the rights and privileges of
certain classes.
"The bill by Tlllotson, regulating waste
of gas, and requiring all oil wells that
are abandoned to be plugged, Is good In
some respects, but contains some Jok
ers. The bill precludes, 'Wild Cat' pros-
pecting for oil.
"My objection to the bill Is the num-
ber of unnecessary offices that the bill
creates.
"Another bill that has passed Is a
bill permitting the Bale of oil leases
and curing all defects In the procedure
used In obtaining leases prior to the
passage of the act. The bill Is undoubt-
edly drawn In such a way as to favor
the oil men who have obtained leases Il-
legally. Many such Instances are notor-
ious In what was formerly Indian Ter-
ritory. It matters not by what pro
ceduie the lease was obtained, this bill
validates it and in my opinion many a
child will suffer great wrong.
"House bill No. 17, that attempts to
regulate wages of employees Is evidently
taken entirely or nearly so, from the
statutes of Tennessee; such a statute has
been declared unconstitutional In many
states. This law, If enforced, will de-
stroy the small lumber men In the south-
eastern part of the state. However, the
bill contains a good feature In prohibit-
ing the card or check system, for the
payment of employees' wages.
"Senate bill No. 2, was a good bill un-
til it was amended to death. Its friendi
voted for It in the house, believing that
a conference of the house and senate
might be had and save the but s face.
The people all over the state are de-
manding that the birds and game lit
the state be protected; the bill Is largely
copied from Nebraska, Illinois and a few
other states that have good game laws.
"Many of the best bills have been
burled In committee; for Instance, Clark's
bill for the sale of the school lands, is
far superior to the senate bill No. 1
passed, which permits the sale of the
indemnity school iands, but falls to rec-
ognize vested rights of leasees and prac-
tically eliminates the lessees' preferenc
rights.
"I consider th.i above mentioned five
bills of probably the greatest importance
of any that have passed so far.
"The Putnam good roads bill now un-
der consideration Is very important and
contains many good features.
"The Roddle banking bill amendments
have not as yet passed the house and
will not unless amended so as to destroy
the original Intent of the author. The
bill as It came from the senate, Imposed
a great additional and uselesj burden
upon the guaranty fund. The house
has not yet taken Kindly to Roddie s

panies he may lose his position as

"Basketball is a good game and one

I^ast summer Frledrlch was pitcher

"I am astonished to see how quiet

"I defy any man to lmpug;ne my mo-
tives on any subject 1 denounce the
allusion aa a cowardly act for doing
it. And I will meet him at any placs
ne might name, C. G. Jones."
This was the challange and the re-
ply made when Jones was about to
leave the house yesterday morning
dilring the discussion on the tax fer-
ret repeal bill.
As soon as the clerk had finished
reading the bill Faulkner moved
indefinitely postpone the measure but
it lost by a vote of 50 to 44. Then he
moved to suspend the rules and place
the bill on final passage hoping to
kill it that way but it was open to de
bate and the members took advantage
of the opportunity and all voiced th
feelings on the bill.
Faulkner then opened on the bill and
said. There Is no need of this bill
where there Is no disrespect for the
law but these tax dodsers> have made
it necessary to have this law It Is a
common saying that If you throw a
stone in a bunch of animals of the ca-
nine family the one that is hit will
howl and I say that rule holds gooj
here. To repeal this law means
prico upon perjury and a price upon
bribery and these that want the law
repealed are the money lenders and
not the farmers. The farmers have
to pay their tax because their farms
are spread out and we can see them.
At this Harrison asked him what
his farm was listed at and Faull
ner replied that he did not have one
whereupon the Speaker replied that
was doubtless the reason he wanted
others to pay.
Harrison took the position that the
law should not date back of statehood
and frrn that date all should be cm-
pelled to pay their Just amount.
Maxey took the position In favor
of repealing: the law. He said It was
particularly obnoxious to the people
of his county. Back In the early days
mar.y merchants had taken crop mor-
tgages when they themselves were
deeply In debt and such mortgages
ha«d been of great benefit to the peo-
ple. It was the common understand-
ing that such notes should not be
taxed and to enforce these old taxes
now would no doubt mean ruin tf
many. He was particularly strong or*
the possibilities for graft under the
law and said the tax ferret worked
merely for R"aln and not Jrom the
high motive of good to the people of
the county.
Wortman was against repeal of the
law and saKS It was a measure cal-
culated to promote equal taxation.
If every man has paid his taxes
said Smith of Custer, he need have
no fear of this measure. I have been
paying taxes In the state for sixteen
years and I don't care if they look up
my record. Have you all paid you
taxes? Have you any objections t<
this bill If so then you are a thief
and a perjurer.
It looked bad for the original bll1
which created the tax ferret offlcc
when Ross turned the guns of the rec-
ords of the original bill upon the mea-
sure.
"All grafters look alike to me sal-J
Ross the tax dodger the tax ferret
grafter and all. A grafter Is a grafter
and I am against them. Back taxes
ought to be collected but by some one
who Is responsible to the state and
not by an outsider.

Ross said it was his opinion the
bill was never lawfully passed and
that the notes of the stenographer
shows the bill was never passed and
Plttman who edited the records was
chief clerk and was now at the head
of the tax ferrets and that it mig' t
have been easy for him to have insert
ed the bill. Ross further stated that
he would have sooner take the notes
of a disinterested stenographer than
the work of one who would galne by
result. How It came to pass the house
he Is unable to say. "I'm in favor of
a tax law being enforced and that ev-
ery one pay their taxes but I am not
In favor of this one."
Tlllotson favored the original tax
ferret law and said that he would glv
his time to any one who wanted to
say any thing: on the subject and the
measure would not hurt anyone who
had paid all of their taxes. Bryan
asked him if there were any ferrets
working in the Indian Territory part
of the state? Tlllotson replied that
he did not know whether tnere were
or not but If you are guilty you are
guilty and If you are not guilty—you
will not have to pay."
Cope at this point was recognizevl
by the speaker and started to defend
tho original bill. And seeing Jones
starting to leave the hall, called him
back and the repartee given In the
first paragraph of this story was what
occurred. Cope desired to read a
speech made by Jones earlier in the
sessloh and Jones objected, saying:
"I won't let you read it, I will submit
to the clerk or the stenographer rea-
ing it but not you; as you have no
right to have this speech witout ex-.'date from the time of statehood
pressed permission." a vote this ainendmpnt was

said:

Imaginary lines between the east

ing was going on.
