ARDnoRE, FRIDAY, JANUARY II.
About Court Postponement.

To the Ardmoreite.
understand that our board OF
health has requested Judge Town
send not to hold court on account OF
smallpox scare. There is no small
pox in Ardmore nor any where
near here. One or two cases have
been reported at or near Wynne
wood. A mighty little thing to
produce such a scare.
During the civil war two armies
confronted each other. one was en-
camped partly on a mountain ridge
and valley. In front the opposing
commander conceived the idea that
it would be a good plan to send a
few brigades during the night IN
between the two encampments and
surprise them next morning. They
proceeded very carefully at night
along the foot Of the mountain
ridge and had about gotten we'll
stationed. when some one IL the
camp above overturned camp
kettle zand it came rafting down
the mountain side, making con-
siderable racket. There was a
stampede. Every soldier was at
once seized with the same idea, and
that was to get away quick. Small
sized trees and saplings were de-
nuded of bark, fences torn down
and men terribly bruised up. The
enemy was awakened by the noise
and sent a few shells and volleys to
aid the soldiers in getting away.
/ was with herd of cattle once,
and was assisting in driving them
ints a cornstalk field to Craze. A
bird few from a cornstalk, steer
right close to it jumped and a few
more steers close to him jumped,
and then the whole herd went pell-
nell over fences, trees and every
thing that came in the way. Cat
tie are said to be foolish, and so
are sheep. but fair and unbiased
Judgment will show them stacking
up pretty well with people.
There is no use for us TO build
bomb-proof houses and get in them
because there is war going on in
Africa.
During the civil court there is
scarcely any noticeable increase in
the number of people here, and
scarcely ever more than fifty peo-
pie IN the court house at time.
The schools and churches are much
more crowded, must they be closed
also? What are we going to do
about the depot There crowd
from all quarters congregate every
day. at least eight or ten times.
What about drummers, must we
ask them to stay awayi They visit
all vuarters, and one of them might
bring, ugh. it scares fellow Just
to think-of it. Well what are the
farmers going 10 doi A scare
spreads worse than fire. OF course
they won't come to town, they will
have it that half the town is down
with smallpox, and will not allow
a man from Ardmore to come out
among them. 1t is alright to be
prudent and careful. A little clean
ing up and disinfecting would not
be bad. A little discretion mixed
with few grains OF common sense
= worth something scare is not.
Respectfully,
RoBT. H. WEST.

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless II Is Di-
gested.

Nearly everyone will admit that az a
nation We eat too much meat and too
little Of vegetables and the grains.
For business men. Office men and clerks,
and IN fact everyone engaged in sedentary
OF moor occupations, grains. milk and
vegetables are much more healthful
only men engaged in n severe outdoor
manual labor can live on a heavy meat
dizt and continue in health.
As a general rule, meat once a day IS
sufhcient for all classes Of men. women
and children. and grains, fruit and vege-
tables should constitute the bulk Of food
eaten
But many Of the most nutritious foods
are difficult 81 digestion, and il IS Of no
use 10 advise brain workers 10 eat largely
o. grains and vegetables where the diges-
ton Is too weak 10 assimilate them prop
erly.
II is always best, to get the BEET results
from our food. that some simple and harm
less digestive should be taken after meals
70 assist the relaxed digestive organs, and
several years Of experience have proven
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets to be a very
safe, pleasant and effective digestive and
a remedy which may BE- taken daily with
the best results.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly
be called a patent medicine, as they do
not act on the bowels nor any particular
organ, but only on the food eaten They
supply what weak st0maehs lack pepsin,
1iastase, ana by stimulating the gastric
glands increase the natural secretion Of
hvdrochloric acid.
People who make daily practice OF
taking one or two Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal are sure TO have
Perfect digestion, which means perfect
health
There Is no danger o. forming an injuri-
GUS habit as the tablets contain absolute
" nothing but natural digesiives. cocaine,
morphine and similar drugs have no place
In a stomach medicine. and Stuarts DNs-
pePsia Tablets are certainly the pest
known and most popular Of all stomach
remedies
Ask your druggist for a ffty-cent pack
age 81 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, and
after a weeks use note the improvement
in health,.Appetitc and nervous energy.

Questionable authority. showed that
the United States. in enlisted men,
numbered 1855. .0S2. and the Cnnfeder-
ate states MT exceeding 600. 900; that
the Gpnfederates lost over 8 per cent.
and the Federals A. per cent. the
heaviest losses nf any modern armies.
From official data 1t was shown that
270,000 Federal prisoners reluct-
antly held in Southern prisons. while
100000 Confederate prisoners. in spite
OF the best efforts OF the South, were
confined and held in Northern prisons:
that Of the Federal prisoners whose
exchange was refused on the part OF

Confederate hands, only 23.570 died,
and that OF the Confederate prisoners
held by the United States, regardless
OF all efforts looking To exchange ON
the part OF the South, 26. 436 died,
evidencing that while the percentuui
of Federal deaths in Southern prisons
was under 8, the percentum Of Con.
