GIRLS WORK SAVES A LIFE.
Rsscaes Laboser. Dsried Alive by
Csve-la-Aow . Hsroise.

One laborer. Angelo Fortuna. was en-
tombed and seven of his fellows half
buried by the cave-in OF . ditch the
men were digging at Peru. Ind, the
other afternoon. Ruth. the i9-year-old
daughter Of n. N. Covington, president
OF the local electric company, a society
girl. seeing the plight Of the men and
their inability TO rescue Fortuna, ~
they were engaged In extricating them
selves, did not stop to summon aid, but
jumped into the excavation and began
pulling the rocks and debris from of
the unconscious workman. Her tender
hands were soon torn and bleeding
from the unaccustomed work. but she
did not stop until she had removed
much OF the material that covered For
tuna and had seen others complete her
work. Then she procured stimulants.
and after restoring the man to his
senses, bound up his wounds with
strips torn from her skirts. The physi-
sicians say Miss Covington's prompt
ness saved Fortuna from q horrible
death. The young womnn's own
wounds required surgical attentions,
and she is now the heroine Of the city.

FOR MALARIA,
CHILLS and fever.
The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

1mitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their med-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill toncs shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, soc.

Doubts About K,owa Opening

Doubts About kiowa Opening.
The following Ia from the Guthrie
Leader: Persons who intend TO locate
In the Kiowa and Comanche country
when the reservation shall be declared
open for settlement should keep closely
In touch with the progress made In al
lotting the Indians, after going into
the country or TO its borders, says q
weatherford dispatch. Persons with
limited means should be especially
careful Hundreds Of white.cappcd
wagons can now be seen everywhere in
that part Of Oklahoma contiguous TO
the reservation. These wagons con-
tain expectant families who believe
that the country will be opened next
spring.
A citizen Of FL Reno, familiar with
the conditions Of the Kiowa and Co
manche country said that at the pres
snt rate OF progress Of the government
surveyors and allotting agents three
years would elapse before the land
would be ready for settlement. There
are only two sllotting agents and two
corps OF surveyors At work, and none
Of them are suffering with over excr.
tion. Not to exceed dozen Indians
hsve been assigned their allotments,
and three months passed before the
first allotment was made. The SUR
veyors will have to 20 over most OF the

have grazing leases have raised . con-
siderable sum Of money to be expended
in buying influence that will delay and
retsrd the opening Of the country as
long ~ possible. The Csddo and
Wichita reservation, which lies north
Of the Kiowa and Comancbc country,
should have been allotted and settled
long ago, but cattlemen raised sum Of
money . year or two ago and the 'and
10 still the home OF the long horn, the
coyote and worthless Indians. Some.
thing should be done 70 prevent delay
In opening the Kiowa and Comanche
