Forty-Siath State.

During the next session congress will
probably be asked to grant sta e,.o d ia
Oklahoma and the Indian territory.
There has been talk OF making them
INTO two states, but the present feel
ing seems to be that the two should
be united in one strong state, which
will be about as large as Missouri, will
have not far from a million inhabi-.
tants and will contain wealth valued
for taxation at more than a hundred
million dollars. The growth OF Okla
homa, which was mainly carved out OF
the territory set aside for the Indians
in 1884, has been phenomenal, even for
the West. The movement to open the
territory's public lands to settlement
began about 1879. Then arose the ok
lahoma boomers would-be settlers
who, when arrested and expelled only
waited until the troops were out CT
sight, and then calmly moved back into
the coveted country. The boomers
campaign lasted ten years. The csn-
trail portion of what is now Oklahoma
was finally opened in April, 1889. At
the blast of bugle at noon on beau-
thul spring day began a stampede
which hardly seems to have ended vt.
More than fifty thousand persons en-
tered the new territory that day, and
before nightfall number OF town sites
had been laid out for several thousand

tants only thirty-fve in the thousand
are illiterate. More than fifteen hun

colleges and normal schools, and the
public-school pupils number eighty
thousand. There are thousand miles

The Beaumont-Port Arthur OH Strike

The Beaumont-Port Arthur OIL Strike.
Experts claim that the wonderful
discovery of oil between Beaumont
and Port Arthur, Tex, has produced
the greatest oil gusher ever known in
the world.
The flow from the well is estimated
between twenty and twenty-five thou
sand barrels per day. This great
strike is at once a benefit not only to
the territory in the vicinity of the
well, but to the entire state of Texas
and the South.
1t is a well known fact that coal
is very scarce commodity in Texas
and it is already predicted that oil
will soon be used by the railroads
in lieu of coal as a result of this
great discovery.
Hundreds of people are fiocking to
the new oil district. which is locat-
ed on the Kansas City Southern
Railway, seeking homes and invest
ments. 1t adds one more attraction
to the list of resources for which
this railway is already noted.
The Kansas City Southern Railway
operates solid through trains, with
free chair cars and sleepers from Kan
sas City to the Beaumont Port Ar
thur Oil district, leaving Kansas City
Hoo a. m. daily. Arriving at Beau
mont 8:42 pm. Arriving Port Arthur

Darwln's Theory Sustained by Compare
son OF Blood.
The latest proof of the correctness OF
Darwin's assertion that there is near
relation between man and ape is fur
nshed by a discovery OF the cores.
pondence between the blood of man
and the ape. Blood exposed to air
oagulates-forms a jelly-lke mass
After a time the coagulum contracts
and eXpels perfectly clear fluid called
serum. Lately experiments with this
natural serum showed some queer re-
suits. When the serum of rabbit was
mixed with the blood of an
animal not closely related to 1t,
for instance "A guinea pig, the
blood corpuscles of the guinea
pig were thereby dissolved. But the
serum of the rabbit mixed with the
blood of closely related animal. a
hare, for instance, did not affect the
blood Of the hare at all. The serum OF
the horse works no change in the blood
of the donkey, but destroys I'd s.
solves) the blood corpuscles of the rab-
bit, lamb or man. The dog, fox and
wolf readily permit exchange Of blood,
while the blood corpuscles of the dog
are dissolved by cat serum. This, then,
seemed to furnish new and sure
means for establishing blood relation
ship between animals. Experiments
with human serum showed that 1t dis
solves the blood corpuscles of all YER
tebrates, also those of the lower ape.
But the experiments with the higher
apes gave different results. Neither
the blood corpuscles of the orang-ou-
tang nor those of the gibbon were dis
solved by human serum, and human
blood was carried into the blood course
of chimpanzee without in the least
affecting the latter's condition. Thes,
experiments serve to show that the
blood of man and that of the higher
apes must be looked upon as identical.
1t Is absolutely sure that none of the
tested serum of animal resembles the
human blood as closely as does the
blood of those three apes-the oran-
tutang, chimpanzee and gibbon. This
highly interesting scientific discovery
furnishes new proof Of the probability
OF mans evolution from lower animals.
1t throws some light on the sorry ex-
perience had with TRANSMISSION OF ami
NAL blood in the blood OF suffering hui
man beings. Some scientists maintain
that the sheep and man, the calf and
man stand too far apart In the order
of descent to permit intermixture OF
their blood without harmful results.

Miss Alice Dressler, 1918 North Bry-

Last spring l suffered from la
grippe and was partially cured, but
the bad after-effects remained through
the summer, and somehow l did not
get strong as l was before. In the fall
l caught cold after getting my feet
wet and attending lecture In a cold
hall, and / suffered relapse. An un
pleasant catarrh Of the head and
throat followed, and as l was in a
weak condition physically previous to
this, it took but little to break me
down completely.
"One of my college friends who was
visiting me, asked me to try Peruna,
and l did so and found 1t all and more
than had expected. 1t not only cured
me of the catarrh. but restored me to
