Dear Madam: l made a trip through

the malaria was so thick you could cut
it in the air with a knife, the tadpoles
were as. thick in the water as fees on
a dogs back. Before taking the trip
was suffering with the worst case of
dyspepsia I've ever had. Three bottles
of your Remedy cured me as sound as
a dollar; made me gain twenty-five
pounds. / actually eat so many tough
beef steaks | had to have a dentist to
do seventy-eight dollars worth of work
on my teeth. consider your Remedy
the finest blood medicine on the market
to-day.
Yours very truly,
GEO. A. CRAFT.
p. ST. am sorry your Remedies IS

counts were of gratifying tenor. The
crop movement was small. but stocks
at interior points and the ports con-
tinued to accumulate in Il surprising
manner. The weather map recorded
good rains in control Texas. Arkansas
and the districts in the north central

Sidewalk Talk.

Before Ardmore had any city
government at all we could put up
with almost any kind of old side
walks but now the mayor is con-
tinually besieged by some one in
sisting that certain changes be
made. The sidewalk in front of
the ruined WisEor is fenced much
to the displeasure of some who
pass that way. But the enclosure
was rendered necessary for the
safety of all passers and especially
for bows who were continually un-
der the front wall, on top of which
lie brick that may fall at any time.
Doubtless when the insurance is
adjusted the debris will at once be
cleared away. In the meantime it
would do well to clear the side
walk OH the opposite side of the
street.

Delightful Time at Algonquin Club.


Last evening, under the auspices
of the n. G. C.. new organization
consisting of a number of Ardmore
society young ladies, an entertain
ment was rendered the Algonquin
club at their club rooms.
1t appears that the idea of re-
versing the conventional custom
that it is the primary duty of the
gentlemen to take the initiative in
the entertainment of the ladies is
an innovation in Ardmore. But
it is decidedly proper, and the
young ladies here know that there
should prevail a generous spirit of
reciprocation.
From 9 O'Clock until 1920 was
a general dance. after which the
grand march was given, led by Mr..
and Mrs. Torbett.
Following the grand march the
guests were ushered into the recep-
ton room, which looked like a
flower garden on sweet June even
ing after the gardener had exercised
his artistic skill. Here delicious
refreshments were served; then in
nocent games were INDUCED in.
These were succeeded by delight
full dance followed by another
course of dainties.
SO pleasant was the time that the
strains of Home Sweet Home, "
always considered a musical gem,
seemed here out of place, for it
ended the happy festivities.
1t was the unanimous decision OF
all present that one of the most
delightful evenings of the season
was enjoyed.
Much credit is due to the origi-
natOrS OF the idea and particularly
to Mrs. Grimm, Misses Moody
Lizzie and Myrtle Cobb and Mary
Hobson.

HELD A PRISONER.
MORPHINE FIEND LOCKED IN
AN ISOLATED CABIN.
Raved Like a Maniac and Begged His
Wife and His Watchers to XIII Him
Suffered the Agonies of Purgatory
During the Time Affected.
Especial letter.

The most remarkable tale of the
kind ever told is related by John P.
Dunn of Riverside, Cal, of how he was
rid of the awful morphine habit by be-
Ing locked up in an isolated cabin up
on the top of a mountain. He was a
morphine fiend of the worst sort, and
his poor wife was almost distracted
oVer his fate. He was getting worse
from day to day. Mrs. Dunn and a
brother of her husband conceived the
plan of imprisoning him in a noun
tain cabin where it would be absolute
ly impossible for him to obtain the
drug. He was agreeable to the plan,
Tor Dunn, in his rational moments, was
