Muskogee, Nov. 4. Mr. Star Editor: Well I done gets back from down to my ole home at Fort Worth, Texas, where I tended the funeral of my poor ole father and no sooner than I go in the office building on South Second St. when my friends holler and laff and say, Presiden Hooker sure shot it to you. He say you a spy and the editor of the Star am a donkey. So I say read it to me and let me seed what Hooker say myself. So they goes ahead and they read the Voice and show me the Star what he say. And after they was throu, I say Oh, well Hooker ain't explain nothing by called us names and the pot ain't no blacker when the kittle call it black. And then a spy is hones and hurts turbly when he show up the weakest spot of the enemy. Hookers side must be turbly weak if he take three chapters to mend the hole made by my one. And I say a donkey ain't so bad. He has funny ways but he come by them honestly. And when you knows what to expect when you proach a donkey but you doan't knows what to expect when you meets men you is workin with shoulder to shoulder and they is got something hid up their sleeve or back under their coattales. I sure feels sorry for Hooker he is hurtin hisself and not helping Elliott. Every body is proud of the gran way in witch Hooker managed the League an everybody is proud of the honor comin to him, but no one can seed why he has took on sich a writtin fit when no body am pestering or chunking rocks at him.
Then my friends axed me if I'd heard bout the "Big Four." What Big Four says I, and they laffed and say the Big Four that pulled the wool over my eyes during the League. I say I would like to know who they is that made monkey out of me and they say not only of you but they make monkey with all the members of the local league. Then they say lets figger who they is. Hooker writ that certain state legue officers in Muskogee had been sont to aid the local league in entertaining the national league and that the state officers had work in harmony. Hole on I say. How come Hooker tell us that way down here in October why didn't he say that back there in May, June and in July? They is Mr. Stewards name there an he has the floor offen at our local meetings, did you ever hear him say: Gemmen. We has bin sont here to help the local league by the State League. My frien, Mr. Elliott over there has $100 or $300, or f1800 in his pocket to help you. What is your pleasure? Of course my friends say they is never heared him say it, case he never did.
So they figgered the Big Four out this way. They say they is four state officers in Muskogee an they put they names down. Then they say, here is Mr. John Escoe, he has the name an honor being State Treasurer. He het the sack but the sack were empty. What oughter been in the sack was in Elliott's safe and Escoe don't know the combination till yet. That lets him out an leaves three for the Big Four. Now figger on the local officers. There is Prof. Ross, Vice President what he know about the f1,300 that Elliott

had? Nothing. Then there is Secretary Dr. R. L. Williams, Acting Sec. L. C. Clark, Treas, J. M. Love, Chairman of Ex. Com, Prof. Bryant, Chairman of Finance Com. Dr. R. H. Waterfor and his Secretary Mr. Luther Moore. Not one of them knew any thing about this f11,300. So how can Hooker say they is working in harmony in something they is ignorant of entirely. Now you can pick out the foth member of the Big Four. They knew about the $1,300 and not only that three of the Big Four is member of the Spursement Com, which voted on the money riz by Dr. Waterford. So you see the Big Four had the local league both accomin and agwine.
This is the way the Big Four swinged the local league over they heads. They held meetings whilst the local league members are workin for they living and at night when the members had put they chillun to bed, said they praers and went to sleep. Nobody ceptin the Big Four had erstandin invertation to be present. No nouncement were mad and they spiried themselves to find jes Fore and no more present at they meeting. Then they'd get they hails together and decide wether they would pul the local league by the nose or by they tales. When they fix it up in they mind, then they gave the relief sine to they friends and say they is to be a very portant meeting and ax them to come out as Dr. Waterford, Bud Brown J. W. Sharp, Spike Simmons an others was gwine to propriate the money of the local league to theyselves and bust the national league meeting. Then they would close the door an pull down the blins and handle the $1,300 on a fether matress so nobody kin hear the noise.
But it was different when they hade the money at the local league meeting. Then if Mr. Jackson give five bucks, they'd take a megerphone an yell, "Mr. Jackson has git $5, who'll be the nex?" loud ernuff for Dr. Washington to hear it in Tuskegee while pullin his niteshirt over his head to go to bed. Then they'd slam the money that Dr. Waterford collected on the mahogyny, WHAM-WHAM, so loud that the leadin colored clerentzers at Taft and Wybark would think a crap game was gwine on and wush they had a han. But they nevr whisper one word about the $1, 300 Elliott had loud ernuff for Dr. Waterford to hear it if he were setting in they lap.
Then my friends axed me if I knew who had invited Dr. Washington to be his guest of honor enduring the league. I says no, but I guess it were Elliott as that is where Dr. Washington and his party of four put up while they was in Muskogee. Then they say an Elliott made the local league pay him for his guestses of honor $48.00. How that come, I say. Well my friends say, we got this from a member of the Spursement Committee an he know it is so. He say Elliott go before the Spursement Committee and he say: "Gemmen, my honored guestes has flew the coop an lef me only they kind regard. An when I totes him to the Katy car he never braathe to me wether he was gwine to send me a check back from Parsons or Chicago, so I wish you will low me this bill of $48.00." I say what what the Spursement Committee do? Do says my frien, why they lows it and Elliott got the money. Now that is the beatenist thing I ever heard of to give special invertation to folkses to be honored guestes and then have some one else to foot the bill. Yes, my frien says, Elliott is the onlest man in town who spected Booker to pay his board, specially as he had tracted thousands of peoples here who spent money not only with Elliott but many others. I say then why didn't the Spursement Committee let him pay hiself out of the $1,300. Shucks, my frien says, that is easy. Three of the Committee was member of the Big Four an Elliott was one of them both
and knowed he had done gone and spent the money for advertising an sich, and the others Dr. Washington and Prof. Bryant at that time had never heard of the $1,300. I say well Elliott had gif $50 for the league and my frien he say an Elliott got all but two of them back.

Local League Holds Meetng
MAKES THE TULSA STAR OFFICIAL ORGAN
The local Business League held a very enthusiastic meeting in the Woods building last Monday night and really accomplished more good than at any other previous meeting. Everyone present seemed to be filled with the spirit of the meeting and entered the work with interest. President McGregor in the beginning issued an ultimatum against "pink" raising which had a good effect throughout the meeting. Two important committees were appointed to go to work immediately to improve the East End. The first committee is the streets and alley committee composed of the following men. J. H. Goodwin, lawyer; G. W. Hutchinson, and Rev. R. N. Holt. This committee was instructed to do everything possible necessary to have the city to install a storm and sewage system in this part of the city. The second committee is the improvement committee composed of the following men: E. A. Loupe, Dr. J. J. McKeaver and Robert Finch. This committee will visit every home in the East End and urge the owners to take part in the general "clean up" campaign to be inaugurated by he league. It is the hope of this committee to get all property owners to set out trees and otherwise beautify their homes and vacant property. This is certainly a commendable undertaking for our Business League and one that should be encouraged by every good citizen. If the work of this committee is successfully carried out the value of the property in this part of the city will increase more than 50 per cent in one years time and in three years time more than 100 per cent. The Tulsa Star was adopted the official organ of the Business League on motion of lawyer F. L. Martin, and the League voted unanimously to pay for twelve yearly subscriptions to the Star to be sent to various parts of the United States. In this respect the Tulsa Business League has taken the lead in this State of least showing appreciation for race journals No other town in the State, not even Muskogee, where the President of the State League resides and where there is a local League and where there are four colored papers, has come up to Tulsa. The following members paid their dues Monday night: Lee McGregor, W. L. McKee, F. L. Martin, F. T Smith, Dr. J. M. Key, A. J. Smitherman O W Gurley, E A Loupe, Robert Finch Rev. J F Kersh, Re R N Holt, Stephen Poe, E Epps, Rev. A C Hicks, and M J Lathon. The balance of $1.50 from the treasury of the old organization was turned over to the League by Mr Martin. The Woods building will be the regular meeting place hereafter The League will meet again Monday night, Nov. 16.

Negro Makes Good In U. S. Supreme Court
What Elliott Used to Think of The Tulsa Stars' Work
William Harrison, Esq., a member of the Oklahoma bar, acquitted himself manfully before the Supreme Court of the United States last Monday afternoon in the presence of some of the greatest lawyers in the country. This able son of Ham could not be disconcerted in any way whatever by the great Chief Justice of the court. The argument of Mr. Harrison fully demonstrated what the Negro lawyer can do if he is given business or opportunity. Mr. Harrison knew his case and the law and the argument he advanced convinced his hearers that Negroes know the law and know how to argue it. His address before the Bethel Literary also was another masterly effort of this disciple of Black stone. It was thought Rev. Jernigan and others that this Oklahoma case was brought from Oklahoma to the United States Supreme Court. The Bee next week will contain a synopsis of this argument and the part Rev. Jernigan took in this celebrated case, which The Bee hopes will result in a vindication of the rights of the Negoes in this country.—Washington Bee. Mr. Harrison will deliver an address here Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the local Business League.
It is claimed by some of the League grafters at Muskogee that the editor of this paper has done nothing to promote or encourage the work of the Negro Business Men's League in this state, etc.
This claim of course is without foundation and is made with malicious intent. Every reader of the Star during the past year know we have been loyal to the League, both State and National.
We will not take up space discussing what we have done for the League. It is better told by president Elliott himself in the following letter which we received early last march.
We offer this letter in evidence to refute the claims of our enemies.
Muskogee, Okla., 3-5-14.
Mr. A. J. Smitherman,
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
My dear Sir.
I have your favor of February 29 for which I thank you. I appreciate more than I can tell the great interest you are showing in the State Business League work and, in the League work generally. When it is done too at such an expense out of your own pocket. They all "holler" and "holler" about loyalty but when it comes to digging up, only a rew SMITHER-MAN'S like yourself will get in the collar. I thank you again for your kindness in publishing in the Star the little paper we read at the Business League and herewith enclose check for my annual subscription to the Star. (This check was omitted). Thanking you again for past favors and wishing you continued success, I am.
Yours very truly, T. J. ELLIOTT.
And yet notwithstanding Elliott's conviction last March that we were showing "great interest in the State League work, and the League work generally" and at our own expense, he spent nearly $300.00 for advertising the League and not one penny of it came our way. Nor have we been able to find any Colored paper anywhere that did get one penny. "We rest."

Negro Kills White Man Over Boose
A. Rance Harrison, Colored of this city shot and killed Joe Johnson, a white man of this city Monday night in the Diamond Drug Store, just one half of a block from Main street. The Negro walked into the Drug Store where Johnson was seated at the soda fountain and emptied his revolver into his body, killing him instantly. He was captured after a chase of two blocks. Harrison is said to have made a statement to Chief Burns that he shot Johnson because the latter had accused him of stealing some whiskey which the two had bought together. It seems that both men were engaged in the bootlegging business. Johnson's body was sent to Texas this week. Harrison is confined in the county jail without bail. His sister, Mrs. Geo. W. Hunt is very much worried over her brothers' troubles.

Chicagoan Lectures Men and Women
Doubtless the best lecture ever delivered to men in Tulsa was that of Chas. Stewart of Chicago at the Williams Dreamland Theatre last Sunday afternoon. For two hours the noted orator and newspaper correspondent held his audience as he showered them with a storm of facts and figures, alarming in their nature, concerning general conditions prevalent among men of the race. Many things were said of much interest and for the most part very beneficial to those who heard him. After his lecture to men, Mr Stewart delivered a special address to women at the A. M. E. church Sunday afternoon. The Star reporter was not present at the women's meeting, but it is safe to say that the ladies were all well pleased ? and much interested with his remarks. In each of his lectures Mr. Stewart urged a closer relationship between the common people, business and professional men of the race. He praised highly the Tulsa Star and urged the people to give freely their support and help to make it one of the greatest race papers in the country. He also scored the public dancing evil and fired some broadsides at the preachers and church members,

The thirtieth annual conference of Church Workers Among Colored People was held in St. Philip's church, New York city, October 6 to 9, by courtesy of the rector, Rev. Hutchins Chew Bishop, and his people. About fifty clergy attended the sessions and more than one hundred laymen and women were visiting delegates. There was much interest in the sessions for consideration of varied topics; the services were well attended, the attendance was remarkably good in the evenings when from seven to nine hundred persons were present. Dioceses in the following states were well represented: Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
On Tuesday evening, after shortened evensong, Bishop Burch made an address of welcome for the bishop of New York, who was unable to be present on account of the Minneapolis meeting of the house of bishops. Venerable Henry Baird Delany, D. D., president of the conference, responded to the bishop's cordial greeting. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. George F. Miller of Brooklyn, and the necrologist's report was read by Rev. Emmet E. Miller of Petersburg, Va.
Friday was Woman's auxiliary day. As on other mornings, the holy communion was celebrated at seven o'clock. There were business meetings at 10 a. m. and 8 p. m.
At the closing session on Friday evening there was a solemn Te Deum and procession. Besides the president's annual address and other official reports, a long series of subjects were treated by writers, appointed speakers, and volunteer speakers.
An address by Doctor Dillard of the Slater-Jeanes fund was of particular value. There was a fine address by Doctor Du Bois on the subject "War and Prejudice." Rev. George Chalmers Richmond of Philadelphia made an impression by an address, and Miss Julia C. Emery of the Woman's auxiliary took active and helpful part in the meeting of the women. A committee was appointed from membership in the several provinces to report whether the organization of provincial conferences of church workers would be useful. The need for a field secretary for work among the colored parishes and missions was reaffirmed. Commendation was given to work and investigations of Mr. C. W. Robinson, a layman of St. Philip's church, New York, with respect to conditions in connection with the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and also to the plan of having a colored secretary in charge of work among the colored chapters. The plan for a racial missionary episcopate was enthusiastically approved again, no dissenting voice heard. A general address to the church at large was set forth in conclusion and was read at the closing session.
County Treasurer Guillian of Auburn., Neb., received a request from a Maywood man for statement of his personal taxes for 1883, because his conscience was troubling him.
The Yukon Territorial council recently passed an ordinance regulating the black fox industry and prohibiting generally the exportation of foxes.
Representatives of the Negro churches of Germantown held a big celebration in the ancient Mennonite church, Germantown avenue and Herman street, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The old church was selected for the reason that the communion table in that church is said to be the table upon which the Germantown pioneers of 1688 wrote the first public protest in America against human slavery.
Rev. Morton Winston, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, West Rittenhouse street, presided. The visitors were welcomed by the pastor of the Mennonite church, Rev. J. W. Baylay. Addresses were delivered by Rev. E. W. Moore, Rev. W. A. Credit, Rev. J. C. Jackson, Rev. J. M. Moses, Rev. E. W. Johnson and Rev C. H. Blackwell.
It is reported that the surface of the Caspian, which is 27 meters under the surface of the sea, has, since the summer of 1910, been continually sinking, and that it is gradually becoming inconvenient for navigation. A commission has been appointed to study the subject.
From the report of the corresponding secretary of the Federation of Colored Women's clubs, Miss Ida Cummings of Baltimore, Md., the following excerpt is given:
"Our women are realizing as never before the power of organization. They are showing better judgment, working for larger results; they have caught the vision of service. Playing its part in all the forces of human endeavor, mutuality and selffulness have stamped themselves. For these bodies of ours to be out of harmony means disease and death. Oh, a lack of human mutuality means more!
"Here we have come as the Jewish people came, centuries ago, to Jerusalem, with their offerings, to celebrate the harvest. Instead of dipping a golden pitcher in the pool of Siloam for the altar, we are come to draw water of inspiration from the well of our different experiences.
"In some states the ballot has come to our women. We hope the day may soon dawn when all of us may enjoy this privilege. Jane Addams says: 'If woman should fulfill her traditional responsibility to her own children, she must bring herself to the use of the ballot, that latest implement for self-government.' I believe in woman suffrage because women are as integral a part of the commonwealth as man, and have equal social rights. But, sisters, what we need is to work hard and train ourselves to be fully prepared to use this privilege when it comes to us.
"The temperance question is of vital importance to us. Sisters, let us work with renewed energy to rid the land of that which is doing so much to drag us down as a race. March 13, 1913, marked one of the most impressive scenes in our civic life in Baltimore, when hundreds of our citizens appeared with white citizens to protest against the re-issuance of certain saloon licenses, and a woman of our race held them spellbound as she pleaded with them to close those dens, for the children's sake. Thirteen saloons in that one district were closed and 200 in the city.
"In the training of our children homes and fresh air camps are being established for the dependent ones, girls' homes for delinquents, and for strangers from the rural districts. . . . Three hundred Negro children are born daily—and so much depends on the child culture of today."
A committee of seven Negroes representing the Colored Federated Charities appeared before County Judge Ward at Houston, Tex., and spoke in behalf of the boys in contemplation of which the sum of $5,000 was set aside in the budget. The delegation declared that a necessity for the institution existed despite the fact that the Gatesville institution was a suitable institution for the Negroes sent from this county.
J. Dixie Smith, chief probation officer of Harris county, who recently paid a visit to the Gatesville institution, declared that the Harris county school was needed to care for juvenile delinquents who committed minor offenses. Judge Ward declared that the matter would be taken up at an early session of the county commissioners' court and given due consideration.
Chile will raise $10,219,650 this year for improvements on state railways and $22,921,215 for betterments will be raised in the next five years.
The vast area of rich lands in Texas, her splendid climate, her generous laws and her warm-hearted citizens constitute a firm base upon which will be erected from year to year a commonwealth of unprecedented prosperity. The instruction given in her agricultural colleges and the research work in her experiment stations will be carried to the people of the rural districts. Already the work of organization has begun and instruction and demonstration in agriculture and home economics in conformity with the provisions of the Smith-Lever bill, will inaugurate the work of popular education of the working farmer. Surely the good people of Texas must see an immediate and urgent need for this work among the people "furthest down." All the arguments in favor of extension work among any people anywhere apply with greater emphasis to the Negro farmer.—Wade C. Rollins, in the Houston Post.

Boycott on Veal.
A country boy was leaving home to make a living, and probably a name for himself. His father and mother had given him some money and a great deal of advice. He had a situation in a distant city, and, as he had never taken kindly to farm work, it looked like a good opportunity for him.
"But there's one thing I wanter say ter ye," the old man said, as he handed the boy his luggage out of the wagon at the station, "and I want you to understand that I say it in all kindness. You are going into the world with pretty good prospects."
"Yes, father."
"And at the same time you're to move into the neighborhood of the wicked and ungodly, where your foot's liable to slip any minute."
"Yes, father."
"W-a-a-l, what I wanter say is just this: 'The farm's goin' to stay right here, where you can always turn to it; but times has been mighty hard lately, and the farm never was very productive.'"
"I know it, father."
"So you might as well understand that if you come back because you want to see the folks again, you'll get your wish, but if you come back lookin' for the fatted calf you'll be likely to get disappointed. So goodby, son."
"So your friend, the actor, is doing straight work."
"Yes, in a crook drama."

PRESSED HARD. Coffee's Weight on Old Age.
When people realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are usually glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others.
"My mother, since her early childhood, was an inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach.
"Some time ago I was making a visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat unusual flavour of the 'coffee' and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum.
"I was so pleased with it that, after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family were so well pleased with it that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely.
"I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart, and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was well and hearty.
"I know Postum has benefited myself and the other members of the family, but not in so marked a degree as in the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum—must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum—is a soluble powder. A beaspoonful dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director Sunday School Course, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.)
LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 8
SOWING AND REAPING.
(World's Temperance Lesson.)
LESSON TEXT—Gal. 6:1-10.
GOLDEN TEXT—Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Gal. 6:7.
Nowhere do the Scriptures excuse men from the results of their own sins. The effects of sins, and of blessings alike, are unto the succeeding generations. France is still paying in the physical realm the cost of Napoleon's ambition. Europe will have a greater debt to pay biologically than any which will be charged against its exchequers as the result of this inhuman and uncalled-for war.
1. Those Who Trespass, vv. 1-5. Jesus plainly instructs us that "trespasses must needs come." Our problem is (a) to avoid being the trespasser and (b) the manner of our conduct towards those who do trespass. In this lesson the second question is treated first. Though a man be overtaken in the very act of trespassing, those who are taught and governed by the Holy Spirit (see chapter 5:16-25) are to prove to the world by their conduct that they are thus taught and governed. They are to "restore such an one," considering at the same time themselves lest they, too, stumble. To restore is to replace, "to reduce a fracture," to put a member of the body into its proper place. Every believer is a member of the body of which Christ is the head I Cor. 12:12, 14, 27, and one who falls (stumbles) into sin is a member out of place.
Man's Duty to Man.
The first step is to help our erring brother to bear his burdens (weights) of temptation, weakness, failure and sin, and in so doing we "fulfill the law of Christ." Ch. 5:14; John 13:34; Rom. 15:3. Jesus Christ not only gave us this law, but he also lived it as well, Phil. 2:5-8. The true disciple, who is really trying to help his brother bear his burden, does so with the consciousness not of his own rectitude, but rather that through the grace of God he has been kept from a like fate. Otherwise the man who "thinkth himself to be something" deceives himself, and no one else. God knows, so does the one whom we seek to help, if we are animated by spiritual pride and boastfulness. This is a measuring line whereby we may judge ourselves (v. 4). Pride and criticism of others largely comes from a desire to glory in ourselves, not so much that we condemn the acts of our neighbor. In verse three we are admonished to bear the burdens—"weights"—of others. In verse five we are told that every man must bear his own burden—"load," i.e., the burden of his own responsibility. No man can bear that load for another, whereas all men can share the "weights" of temptation, weakness, failure and sin.
III. Those Who Are Taught, vv. 6-10. Paul clearly sets before us the responsibility of being enlightened. Being taught, we must pass on the knowledge we have been taught, share the "good things" (v. 6) we have received, see Prov. 11:24; II Cor. 3; 6. Those who refrain from thus aiding their teachers gain no personal advantage. The word "mocked" means to sneer. Men may sneer at God and think they escape the result of their sin, but like still produces like. Sow corn, reap corn; figs, reap figs; sin, reap sin; Rom. 8:5, 6. In spite of the contempt men have for God and in the face of their acceptance of this principle in other realms they continue in their sin with a strange fatalistic persistence.
Habits Bless or Curse.
This principle has a wide application. Sow shame, reap dishonor; sow hate, reap bitterness; sow love, reap the fruits of love, kindliness, affection and esteem. Every act is a process of sowing. Every appetite fostered, gratified and pampered helps to produce a crop of habits either to bless or to curse. This gives color and significance to the words of verse eight. "He that soweth to his own flesh shall of (his own) the flesh reap corruption." If, however, under the leading of the Holy Spirit (cf. John 6:63; II Cor. 3:6) we sow to the Spirit, we will reap eternal life for "this is eternal life that we may know him."
Sow a thought, reap an act;
Sow an act, reap a habit;
Sow a habit, reap a destiny.
The practical application is in verse nine. If there are such possibilities of development, "let us not weary of well-doing." Our sowing is not a matter of caprice or convenience. Nor should we, through weariness, cease our activity.
CALOMEL SICKENS! IT SALIVATES! DON'T STAY BILIOUS, CONSTIPATED
I Guarantee "Dodson's Liver Tone" Will Give You the Best Liver and Bowel Cleansing You Ever Had—Don't Lose a Day's Work!
Calomel makes you sick; you lose a day's work. Calomel is quicksilver and it salivates; calomel injures your liver.
If you are bilious, feel lazy, sluggish and all knocked out, if your bowels are constipated and your head aches or stomach is sour, just take a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone instead of using sickening, salivating calomel. Dodson's Liver Tone is real liver medicine. You'll know it next morning because you will wake up feeling fine, your liver will be working, your headache and dizziness gone, your stomach will be sweet and your bowels regular. You will feel like working. You'll be cheerful; full of vigor and ambition.
under my personal guarantee that it will clean your sluggish liver better than nasty calomel; it won't make you sick and you can eat anything you want without being salivated. Your druggist guarantees that each spoonful will start your liver, clean your bowels and straighten you up by morning or you can have your money back. Child dren gladly take Dodson's Liver Tone because it is pleasant tasting and doesn't gripe or cramp or make them sick.
I am selling millions of bottles of Dodson's Liver Tone to people who have found that this pleasant, vegetable liver medicine takes the place of dangerous calomel. Buy one bottle
Your druggist or dealer sells you a 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone
The Victors.
"I met in Milan," said a returned tourist, "Gen. Angelo Gatti, the famous Italian tactician. Gatti talked luminously on the war. This, remember, was about September 1.
"General Gatti said that the allies in France had been too audacious at first—hence their hard luck. He said they had now learned their lesson and were doing better.
"In warfare,' said General Gatti, 'the rash are annihilated. The timid are crushed. Victory crowns those alone who mingle rashness and timidity together—those, so to speak, who run risks at a slow walk.'"

Women in Church Council.
The high council of the Church of England, sitting under the joint presidency of the archbishops of Canterbury and York, voted to give women the suffrage in the election of church councils and also the right to sit on parochial councils. In view of the fact of its former conservatism, this is very significant in the ruling of the church. Women have always been the most loyal workers, but have hitherto had no voice in molding its policies.
FINE RASH ON BABY'S BODY
1341 Parkwood Pl., N. W., Washington, D. C.—"When my babe was about two weeks old I noticed a scurf on her scalp which gradually grew worse. It started with a fine rash over head and body and made her very restless at night. The rash left the thick scurf on her head. We used —, —, and other remedies recommended by friends, but nothing seemed to do any good.
"This continued until she was three months old and by that time it formed sort of a crust, so that her scalp never looked clean. Nothing helped until we used the Cuticura Soap to bathe her and Cuticura Ointment to anoint her. They acted like magic, clearing the scalp entirely. The trouble disappeared." (Signed) Mrs. H. L.

RELICS TO BE PRESERVED
Mexican Authorities Make Discoveries of Parts of Bodies of Maximilian and His Generals.
The heart of Gen. Tomas Mejia and fragments of the bodies of Emperor Maximilian and General Miramon, all of whom were executed together on the Cerro de las Campas, just outside the city of Queretaro, when Maximilian surrendered there to the forces of President Juarez, were found recently in a search which was made by the constitutionalist authorities of the library of the house of Luis Garcia Pimentel, in Calle de Donceles, No. 68.
The house of Garcia Pimentel is at present occupied by General Davila Sanchez. When the constitutionalist authorities were going through the library of this residence, taking an inventory of what they found there, they came upon the grewsome relics, which were carefully preserved.
The heart of Mejia and the portions of the body of the emperor and his other trusted general had been kept, it is said, by Doctor Liceaga, who performed the autopsy upon the bodies after their execution, and acquired from him by Garcia Pimentel as relics. They probably will be donated to a museum, it is said, by the authorities.—Mexican Herald.
Distinguished Political Career.
Elbridge Gerry Lapham, who represented New York in the United States senate in the early '80's, was born in the town of Farmingham, N. Y., 100 years ago. In early life he followed the profession of a civil engineer. Later he studied law and in 1844 was admitted to the bar. He was a member of the constitutional convention of New York in 1867; a representative in congress from 1875 until 1881, in which latter year he was elected to the United States senate to take the place of Roscoe Conkling, who had resigned. Senator Lapham was a Republican in politics. He died at Canandaigua Lake, N. Y., in 1890.
Mamma's Kiss.
This pretty child story is from the French:
A mother tells her little girl that because she has been naughty she will not kiss her for a week. Before two days have gone by the child's lips hunger so for her mother's kiss that she begs her not to punish her any more.
The mother says: "No, my dear. I told you that I should not kiss you, and I must keep my word."
"But, mamma, mamma, says the little girl, "would it be breaking your word if you should kiss me just once tonight when I'm asleep?"
Extracting Bullets by Magnet.
The system of extracting German bullets by electro-magnets is being tried with success at Lyons, says the London Times.
An electro-magnet has been installed in one of the military hospitals, and has permitted the extraction of a bullet imbedded four and a half inches in the flesh of a patient. This would have proved a difficult operation by other processes.
And sometimes the girl who marries her ideal gets a divorce and lives happily ever after.

Mr. Porter's Magnifying Glass Did Its Work All Right, But Its Owner Forgot Important Thing.
Mr. Porter's judgment was vindicated.
"Ah, ha," he exclaimed, triumphantly, "do you remember that little magnifying glass I gave a dollar for the other day? You say it was a clear waste of money. Well, it has more than paid for itself."
"How so?" inquired Mrs. Porter.
How so, inquired Mrs. Porter.
"I detected a counterfeit $2 bill to which I had the presence of mind to apply it. Those bills are so well executed that even the experts can hardly tell them from the genuine, but my little magnifying glass brought out all its defects."
"How clever you are," said Mrs. Porter, "to think of examining money with a magnifying glass. Now you can make the person who gave you the bill take it back. Who did give it to you, anyway?"
"By George!" he said, "I don't remember."
Chartres and Amiens may in part console us for a lost Reims; but there is nothing—not even at Constantinople—that would comfort us for a lost St. Mark's. And, supposing Italy at war, and a bombarding fleet in the Adriatic, what should we have to expect in Venice? That little Piazzetta is surrounded by a brief anthology of Italian architecture: the Byzantine church, the Lombard tower, the Gothic Ducal palace, the Renaissance library, one of the masterpieces of its date. And round the corner is the dome of the Salute, and across a little water the beautiful tower of San Giorgio, and further, the Redentore. And besides all these, all Venice!—London Chronicle.

f CLEAN UP THE EAST END.
A trip down through the Negro settlement will convince one that the
elty of Tulsa needs a day for cleaning up this part of the city called by the
big dailies “Little Africa.” In no modern city can as much filth be seen as
down the alleys and in the small cross streets in the eastern section of Tulsa.
There is a law which affects this condition, and there is a sanitary of
ficer paid by the city to look after the indifference of these people to the health
conditions of the city. The filth and stench from the closets and slop barrels
is simply flerce and it would not be surprising should an epidemic, at least of
small pox, resulting from this filth, in case it is not remedied at once, come
upon us, Since the people themselves are so indifferent to their own welfare,
for the safety of those who are forced to live in this section, the elty should see
that this filth is removed at once, and that the entire neighborhood be kept at
all times in a more presentable and sanitary condition,

Democrats Win
By Hard Go
With the exception of impotent plural-
itles for Fields, Lawson and Gill, Tulsa
county returned a series of democratic
major ties and pluralities ranging from
50 to 1,317, Unofficial returns had in-
dicated that Gill, republican candidate
for congress, had carried the county by
300 and that Skyes and Hudson, demo-
crats, for the legislature, had pluralities
of 40 or less. The official count gives
Gi only 26 plurality, he fall ng 260 be-
low the Davenport concessions, and J.
H. Sykes low man on the democratic
legislative ticket, was 179 ahead of
Brooks, high man on the republican
side,
John Fields got a plurality of 781.
Lawson, republican, for Heutenant gov-
ernor, received a plurality of 246. The
other democratic candidates on the
state ticket received pluralities ranging
from 200 to 829, the plurality of EB, B.
Howard, of Tulsa, nominee for a state
auditor.
The average plurailty for the county
Ucket was about 1,200; for the state
Ucket, excepting governor and lieuten
ant governor, about 700, The total vote
of the county for governor was 6,370,
which is probably 600 below normal.
Mostly Democrats,
Immense claims made vefore, dur'ne
and after the election impressed some
with the belief that Oklahoma had brok-
en down the democratic faith. There
is no basis for the claim. It was al
first thought that the state had elected

can congressmen, but the official figures
show that Deck Morgan of Woodward i:

(Summary of Events.)
‘Turkey has definitely thrown in
its lot with Austria and Germany
and if Portugal is counted there
now are eleven powers at war with
prospects of three more—Greece,
sulgaria and Roumania—being
drawn in,
The notes which Great Britain pre-
sented to Turkey Oct, 30, demanding
an explanation of the actions of the
‘Turkish fleet in the Black Sea and the
dismantling of the former German
cruisers the Goeben and the Breslau,
was really an ultimatum to which Tur-
key was required to make a reply by
Saturday night, Oct. 31,
So far as is known, telegraphic
communication with Turkey being in-
terrupted, no answer was made and
the ambassadors of the triple entente,
it is understood, demanded and re-
ceived their passports,
Comes as No Surprise.
Turkey's entry into the war is not a
surprise, Ever since the hostilities
started reports have come of the
mobilization of the sultan's army,
Always they have been denied,
German officers have been drilling
the Ottoman soldiers for several
months. For several years it has
been known that the kaiser was alding
the sultan in his military preparations.
The German military system was drill-
ed into the Turkish soldiers and in the
later Balkan war the German hand
could be recognized in the movements
of the Turkish army,
British Warned Turkey.
It has been said that Germany sup-
plied the Ottoman government with
large sums of money, Great Britain
warned Turkey to keep off, and recent
advices from Constantinople indicated
that Turkey intended to maintain her
neutrality
Under stress of pursuit by British
warships, the German cruisers Goeben
and Breslau early in the war took
refuge at Constantinople, They yere
purchased by Turkey, but the German
officers and crews were retained
Later they sallied forth, and a warning
was issued by Russia that should the
Russian warships meet these two
cruisers they would open fire,
Means New Balkan War,
Meanwhile Turkey has been under
surveillance by the Allies. Its action
in the present attack on Russian sea-
ports has not been explained, but it
4s possible that her injection into the
war may bring to arms some of the
Halkan states which have up to the
present remained quiescent.
Of the Balkan states, Servia and
Montenegro already are taking part in
the war, Servia having started it, Bul-
garla and Rumania will stand togeth-
er with Russia, It is believed, both be-
ing opposed to Austria and Turkey.
Greece also will turn against the
Turks and the Greek navy will be of
kreat assistance to the Allies, it is be-
lieved.
Lull in Big Battle.
The battle of the Yser and the
series of fights which has taken
place along the whole front in
Helgium and France appear, with the
troops now exhausted, to have degen:
erated into numerous isolated attacks
and counter attacks, in which the
gains and losses are about equally di-
vided between the combatants,

There are many great piles of German
dead around Dixmude, which it has
been impossible to bury on account of
the continuous fighting, Dixmude is
a heap of ruins, German aeroplanes
have been very active.
Russians Advancing Again,
‘The entire Russian army 1s again
advancing against the Austro-German
forces. Advices from the front indl-
cate that the Austrian troops in Galle
cia are being enveloped by the Rus-
sian left, while the Russian center and
right are driving the Germans back
upon their advanced lines of defense
inside of the East Prussia frontier.
After more than a week of fighting
along the San river the Austrians
have now begun to retreat from the
southern section.

The German and Austrian troops

ANTWERP GETTING BACK TO NORMAL
AFTER WEEKS OF TERROR AND PANIC
TURP A OF LA, STAR
Antwerp.—Antwerp gradually {s re-
turning to normal conditions, About
160,000 of the city’s 860,000 inhabt-
tants, most of whom fled when the
Germans occupied it, have returned
to their homes.
Some bakeries, meat shops and
grocery stores are opening in the
poorer section of the city, and a few
old women with dog carts are offer.
ing apples and vegetables in the once
busy markets. The German flag fies
from the tower of the cathedral of
Notre Dame, but Belgian priests are
reading mass as usual.
Tho streets virtually are deserted
“except for the gray German automo-
biles which dash along at mad speed
carrying officers clad in smoke gray
uniforms,
No War Tax Levied.
No tribute has been levied on the
city as yet, except that the Germans
have demanded supplies for their
army. General von Huehne ts gov-
ernor general of the military govern-
ment, Maj, Gen, yon Bodenhausen,
commander of the fortress of Ant-
werp, will be installed shortly as
elvil governor,
General von Huehne has given as-
surance that Belgians will not be
forced to dig intrenchments or do
other work for the Germans {f they
return to the Belgian cities, Every
consideration 1s being shown the Bel-
gians by the invaders, but this kind-
ness makes the Belgians suspicious,
as they believe, they say, that a trap
ts being lad.
Thousands of Natives Return.
Over twelve thousand Belgians re-
turned to Antwerp, and probably halt
that number from Holland. All of
the Holland border towns are filled
with frantic Belgians, who move about
anxiously seeking relatives and are
afraid to return to their native land.
The country about Antwerp is deso-
late.
It 1s estimated that about three
hundred buildings were destroyed in
Antwerp by bombs, most of these
structures being residences, The Hotel
de I'Burope and the Taverne Royale
on La Place Verte were among 25
large buildings destroyed by fire
caused by bombs.
I Mier and other leading business
streets are untouched, but all the
large business houses are still closed,
despite the efforts of the Germans to
restore normal conditions,
Argentine Consul Killed,
About sixty persons were killed dur-
ing the bombardment of the city.
Theophile Lemaire, Argentine con-
sul at Antwerp, was the most promi-
nent victim. He was killed in the
cellar of his home by a bomb which
came through the roof and floors and
struck him.
Consul Diederich and the American
vice-consul, Harry Sherman, both nar-
rowly escaped death during the bom-
bardment. They lived on the south
side of the city, where the shelling
occurred, The operators of a Zeppelin
dirigible balloon dropped a bomb with-
in 200 feet of Mr. Sherman's home,
and the house adjoining Mr. Dieder
ich's residence was completely
wrecked by a bomb.
FOES’ HIDDEN IN TRENCHES
FIGHT DAY AND NIGHT
By KARL H. VON WIEGAND.
{United Presa Sta Correspondent.)
St. Mihie, France—Fighting day
and night from deep trenches whose
wonderfully effective entanglements
of barbed wire, steel sharp-pointed
rods and sharp-pointed stakes almost
touch, the thousands of men compris-
ing the German left and the French
opposing wing seldom see each other.
Probably never before has there
been staged a battle so theatrically
set as is the present. The line of
battle runs wave-shaped for miles
through dense forests, over and around
high hills and across deep valleys
traversed with fast-running streams
of water.
The French stubbornly opntens every
attempt of the Germans to advance,
Lines of trenches are extended a
foot at a time. The thousands on
each side dig themselves in like field
moles, They cover their every move-
ment. Even the guns are hidden and
their location cannot be ascertained
by the opposing forces, as their
smokeless powder leaves no trace,
Visible to Aviators,
And in the open country the
trenches are so constructed as to be
invisible to an aviator unless he flies
very low. When he does fly low he
seldom returns to report. But there
are always volunteers on both sides to
attempt it. They go out and most of
them are killed. A few are captured
alive and they are treated with the
consideration their daring demands.
‘The Germans have occupied St.
Mihiel and are holding it and the ter-
ftory adjoining, although they are
still subjected to a heavy artillery
tre. The children, however, play
about the streets and the inhabitants
(to about their duties in an uncon-
cerned way, They express no curt
osity. Familiarity with danger has
fn this case bred a feeling of utter
contempt for It.
Now Seek Verdun Forte,
The reports that the Germans were
making an assault in force on Toul
and Nancy are erroneous. For the
Present their chief objective is the
smaller line of forts along the Meuse
line from Toul to Verdun. These are
Troyon, Genecourt, Les Paroches,
Camp de Romains, Lionville, Giron-
ville and Jury-sous-les-Cotes. ‘The
first to fall was St. Mihtel, and sev-
eral of the others are reported in dif-
ficulties. In addition, the bombard-
ment of Verdun continues, and some
of the outer works have already been
reduced.
Aviator Escapes Death.
While passing through Vervinay I
witnessed a daring plece of work by
a French aviator. Under cover of a
fog he had swooped down on the
German trenches and had located @
number of them before he was dis-
covered. Although the German artil-
lery fairly rained shrapnel around his
fleeing plané he mounted almost
straight up and finally escaped to his
own lines.
I was able to spend on entiro day
in the German trenches which have
been constructed to prevent the
French armies with headquarters it
Toul and Nancy attempting a flanking
attack. In one of the trenches the sol
diers had organized a singing society.
The whole scene was wonderfully ple-
turesque. A thick fog hid the French
trenches 900 yards away. The ghost-
like figures of the greenish gray-clad
figures in the trenches were strangely
silhouetted in the mist. Occastonally
the thunder of the guns would punctu-
ate the choruses. The singing was
remarkable, as many of the soldiers
had trained voices. Some stood at at
tention. Others had their hands tight:
ly clasped in the attitude of prayer.
They sang, “It’s the Day of the Lord”
and “My Vaterland; Beloved Vater

FIELDS ARE CHOKED WITH
BODIES OF SLAIN SOLDIERS
By LUCIEN ARTHUR JONES.
Dunkirk.—I am writing this dis
patch to the sound of heavy rifle firing
in the streets of this town. A German
Taube just now was flying above us
and receiving {ts customary salute of
ballets. It finally disappeared in the
direction of Ostend without doing or
recelving any damage.
This 1s the second aerial call the
Germans have paid Dunkirk today.
About nine o'clock this morning a
Taube hovered over the town for a
considerable period. The aviator pald
dearly for his temerity, for his mw
chine was badly damaged by shot and
he was forced to descend outside the
town, only to find himself and the ma
chine {mmediately captured,
‘The Taube has been led in triumph
through the streets of the town.
Naval Guns Repulse Germans.
It now appears certain that the Ger
mans have been shelled out of their
positions at Ostend. Small parties,
however, were reported to be in the
town itself this morning.
The bombardment by the British
and French naval guns of the Ger
man right wing resulted In clearing the
coast from Nieuport to Ostend of the
enemy for a distance of several miles.
In the interlor the Germans are re
ported to be demoralized and the re
ply of their artillery for once {s sadly
ineffectual,
Splendid work has been done here
by the British Red Cross detachment
which formerly was at Ghent fn
charge of Dr. Hector Munroe.
German Dead Cover Field.
A member of the staff has told me
that the flelds in the neighborhood of
Furness and Dixmude were choked
with German dead. So desperate has
the fighting been that the Germans
left in a hurry without a thought of
burying their dead or assisting their
wounded,
While he was in Dixmude a German
shell struck the house in which were
resting 27 Belgians and not one of
them escaped death.
Wolf Packs Attack Soldiers.
Rome.—A dispatch from Cettinfe
says: “A close watch at night 18 nec-
essary at the military camps, not only
because of the fear of the enemy, but
on account of the dread of wolves,
which, when the first snow covered
the mountain tops, began to descend
and wander in rapacious bands at-
tacking the living if they cannot find
dead.”
Read Only German Poets.
London.—The Berlin VYorwaerts an-
nounces that a boycott is to be placed
on foreign poets. Among the first
to be boycotted are D'Annunzlo and
Maeterlinck, It has been discovered
that neither is a man of any particu
lar genius,
THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
‘The experience of Motherhood is a try+
{ng one to most women and marke dis-
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or uf-
derstands how to properly care for her-
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the experi-
ence with an organism unfitted for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received eee
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
‘There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child-birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
‘an unprepared condition, and with am-
ple time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
tnvigorator of the female organism,
In many homes Ie o
once childless there ) SN ‘(

ham’s Vegetable cp

Thanksgiving Proclamation
"By the president of the United States of America.
"A proclamation.
"It has long been the honored custom of our people to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for his many blessings and mercies to us as a nation. The year now drawing to a close since we last observed our day of national thanksgiving has been, while a year of discipline because of the mighty forces of war and of change which has disturbed the world, also a year of special blessing for us.
"It has vouchsafed to us to remain at peace, with honor, and in some part, to succor the suffering and supply the needs of those who are in want. We have been privileged by our own peace and self control in some degree, to steady the counsels and shape the hopes and purposes of a day of fear and distress.
"Our people have looked upon their own life as a nation with a deeper comprehension, a fuller realization of their responsibilities, as well as of their blessings and a keener sense of the moral and practical significance of what their part among the nations of the world may come to be.
"The hurtful effects of foreign war in their own industrial and commercial affairs have made them feel the more fully and see the more clearly their interdependence on one another and has stirred them to a helpful co-operation, such as they seldom have practiced before.
"They have been quickened by a great moral stimulation. Their unmistakable ardor for peace, their earnest pity and disinterested sympathy for those who are suffering, their readiness to help and to think of the needs of others, has revealed them to themselves as well as to the world.
"Our crops will feed all who need food; the self-possession of our people amidst the most serious anxieties and difficulties, and the steadiness and resourcefulness of our business men will serve other nations as well as our own.
"The business of the country has been supplied with instrumentalities and the commerce of the world with new channels of trade and intercourse. The Panama canal has been opened to the commerce of the nations. The two continents of America have been bound in closer ties of friendship. New instrumentalities of acquaintance, intercourse and mutual service. Never before have the people of the United States been so situated for their own advantage or the advantage of their neighbors or so equipped to serve themselves and mankind.
"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thursday, November 26, next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and invite the people throughout the land to cease from their wonted occupations and in their several homes and places of worship, render thanks to Almighty God.
"In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
"(Signed)
"WOODROW WILSON"
U. S. MARINES AGAIN IN HAYTI
Periodical Disturbance Breaks Out in Negro Republic.
Washington.—Orders to proceed with all possible speed from Dominican waters to Port Au Prince, the rebel held capital of Hayti, were sent by the navy department to the transport Hancock, which has on board a full regiment of marines. At the same time the battleship Kansas was ordered to Port Au Prince from Vera Cruz.
A serious revolutionary outbreak occurred in Port Au Prince as a result of the landing there of Charles Zamor, a brother of the president of the republic. There was shooting in the streets. The members of the ministry have taken refuge in foreign consulates.
What further steps shall be taken to protect the lives and property of Americans and other foreigners probably will be left for the present, to the naval officers on the scene. No official report had reached Washing ton of the latest disturbances in Port Au Prince.
CALUMET BAKING POWDER
You don't save money when you buy cheap or big-can baking powder. Don't be miled. Buy Calumet, it's more economical—more wholesome—gives best results. Calumet is far superior to sour milk and soda.
You are nervous. You have "crying spells." You are dejected. You don't sleep well. You have backache. You have lost ambition for your work. You are beginning to feel old and look old. These symptoms, more than likely, are produced by some weakness, derangement or irregularity peculiar to the feminine organism.
will aid you in regaining youthful health and strength—just as it has been doing for over forty years for women who have been in the same condition of health you now find yourself. It soothes and invigorates. It upbuilds and uplifts.
Parliament "Palace."
It is said that the new home of Australia's national parliament at the federal capital city of Canberra will be a "palace." Provision is being made in the new building for accommodating 300 members in the house of representatives, and 150 in the senate. The fact that women have the vote in Australia, and are eligible for election to the federal parliament, has not been overloked. The means of access to the chambers are to be so designed that all members may be able to respond to a call on three minutes' notice. Public accommodation will include reading rooms, studies, and correspondence rooms. So that members may obtain recreation, 14,000 square feet of space is being devoted to billiard and other rooms. For the official reporting of the doings of the parliament, about twenty rooms will be set apart. The building is to cost $5,000,000.
His School Report
"What did they say to you?" asked little Harry's mother, after his first visit to the new Sunday school.
"The teacher said she was glad to see me there."
"Yes?"
"And she said she hoped I would come every Sunday."
"And was that all she said?"
"No, she asked me if our family belonged to that abomination."

The cook is happy, the other members of the family are happy—appetites sharpen, things brighten up generally. And Calumet Baking Powder is responsible for it all.
For Calumet never fails. Its wonderful leavening qualities insure perfectly shortened, faultlessly raised bakings.
Cannot be compared with other baking powders, which promise without performing.

A Home-Made Poison
Uric acid, unknown in the days of a simple, natural, out-of-door life, is a modern poison that causes severe pain and a lack of meat-tasting, overwork, worry, and lack of rest. Backache or irregular urination is the first prognostic sign of urinary tract infection, which blind in filtering out the creatinine uric acid, is danger of gravel, drops or Bright's disease. It can also cause an increased risk, but if the diet is reduced, excesses stopped and fresh air, exercise and sleep increased, the medicine acts more quickly. Doan's Kidney Pills are a wide-representation as a reliable kidney tonic.

State Baptist
Convention Notes
e Name of Jesus With You," was the
the Name of Jesus With You,” was the
hymn used to open the eighth annual
session of the Baptist State conventon
this morning in the Mt. Triumph Bap-
tist church of which tne Rev. Dr. P. R.
Neil is pastor, and which was no doubt
one of the greatest sessions ever
held in the history of the convention.
Delegates are here from ali parts of
the state and a number of visitors are
here from other sections of the coun-
try.
“Talk never yet accomplished any-
thing in this world,” said the Rev. Dr.
8. S, Jones, of Muskogee in calling the
convention to order,” for this is an age
of work. As a race, and denomina.
tion we have a great work before us,
and we must get at it, Our people are
to be lifted up, and we must do it.
The boys and girls must be educated,
and if we fall to do our part then the
future is dark,
“We must have a school in the state,
and now is the time for us to strike
while the iron is hot. We have been
talking and now we are at the place
where we must do.”
The convention opened with song
and praise service conducted by Revs.
IN, Jackson, of Eufaula and D. Wil-
son, of Kingfisher, the service was im-
pressive, and called for many “amens.”
Following the opening, Prof, H- B.
Britt, the noted singer from Louls-
ville, Ky. and Charles Stewart, of
Chicago, the noted newspaper corres-
pondent were introduced to the con-
vention, and Dr, Stewart, entertained
the convention for a short time, He
threw the convention into convulsions
so to speak with his witty and humor-
ous sayings. Then followed the infor-
mal conference by Revs, P. C. Tuggle
